Archive of Geosample Data and Information from the Ohio State University Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center (BPCRC) Sediment Core Repository
The Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center (BPCRC) Sediment Core Repository operated by the Ohio State University is a partner in the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) database, contributing information to the IMLGS to help researchers discover geological samples curated in their facility. The partner repository may also send related data, documents, and imagery to NCEI for long-term archive, but the originating institution is the definitive source of information related to their sample collection. The BPCRC sediment core repository archives marine and lake sediment samples collected from the Arctic Ocean and the Eurasian Arctic margin on U.S. National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs (NSF-OPP) and Office of Naval Research (ONR) -sponsored projects since 1992.

Data Presentation Form | Digital table - digital representation of facts or figures systematically displayed, especially in columns Digital image |
Dataset Progress Status | Ongoing - data is continually being updated Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility |
Data Update Frequency | Irregular - Samples are collected on an irregular basis. |
Supplemental Information | The repository is a 10 × 15 × 4 m refrigerated unit with controlled temperature. Sediment cores are stored wet in D-tubes on shelf racks. BPCRC also has a spacious sediment laboratory that includes a 6-m-long center table and equipment for sediment sample processing such as a 4.5–l freeze dryer, drying ovens, centrifuge, ultrasonic bath, precision balance, etc. |
Purpose | The BPCRC sediment core collection is maintained for Arctic marine geological and paleoclimatic research. The purpose of adding information about the collection to the IMLGS is to promote new research on existing samples. |

Lineage Statement | Incoming data were checked for adherence to controlled vocabularies, illegal data types in numeric fields, and out of range latitudes/longitudes. NCEI added IGSNs/links to related resources, where known, and performed cursory visual inspection of data for reasonableness, asking the originator for guidance on discrepancies. |
