Curating and Maintenance of the Sediment Library and Dredge Collection
Abstract
The Lamont-Doherty Deep-Sea Sample Repository houses a collection of the most diversified as well as the largest number of different sites of deep-sea sediment cores in the world (Figure 1). For over 53 years, the collection has continuously grown. Researchers from all over the world use the material for work as diversified as searching for evidence of cosmic impacts on the ocean floor, mapping routes of ice bergs and sea ice, reconstructing past climate, and environmental studies. A large percentage of the cores and dredges were collected through ONR programs and support.
