OSU Marine Geology Repository
The College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University, Corvallis, operates the
OSU Marine Geology Repository for NSF. Established in 1972 as the OSU Core Laboratory, the repository has been funded continuously since 1976 as a national facility by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
In 1990, the marine geology collections of Oregon State University and University of Washington were merged, and the facility was significantly expanded. This national facility now serves the community of scientists throughout the world. Sediments, rocks, and sediment trap samples recovered from the world's oceans are archived here.
Our mission is to preserve and distribute marine geological samples for scientific research and education.
