This proposal is for support of the Marine Sediments Sampling Group (MARSSAM), located at Oregon State University. MARSSAM provides the full gamut of coring services to the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) community, from surface sampling to piston cores of up to ~25 m in length. MARSSAM coordinates with principal investigators (PIs) with research cruise time supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and other federal agencies, determining what equipment is necessary for the accomplishment of scientific goals, and ensuring that equipment is compatible with vessel capabilities. Central to this mandate, MARSSAM adapts coring technology to the UNOLS vessels requested by science PIs so that they can recover the sediments needed for their science. MARSSAM designs, maintains, and rebuilds coring equipment, supervising coring and meta-data collection at sea, and training the science party in the collection of shipboard physical properties data and core splitting. MARSSAM technicians also provide logistical support needed to cycle coring gear to and from globally distributed research vessels as well as to return cores to NSF marine geology archives post cruise.Broader Impacts The principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 13-589). It provides infrastructure support for scientists to use the vessel and its shared-use instrumentation in support of their NSF-funded oceanographic research projects (which individually undergo separate review by the relevant research program of NSF). The acquisition, maintenance and operation of shared-use instrumentation allows NSF-funded researchers from any US university or lab access to working, calibrated instruments for their research, reducing the cost of that research, and expanding the base of potential researchers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该建议是为了支持位于俄勒冈州立大学的海洋沉积物采样集团（Marssam）。 MARSSAM为大学国家海洋实验室系统（UNOLS）社区提供了全面的加油服务，从表面采样到长达约25 m的活塞核心。 MARSSAM与国家科学基金会（NSF）和其他联邦机构支持的研究巡航时间与首席研究人员（PIS）进行了协调，确定实现科学目标是必要的设备，并确保设备与船只能力兼容。 Marssam符合这项任务的核心，将Coring技术适应了科学PIS要求的UNOLS船只，以便他们可以收回科学所需的沉积物。 MARSSAM设计，维护和重建Coring设备，监督海上的芯和元数据收集，并培训科学党，以收集船上物理物业数据和核心分裂。 MARSSAM技术人员还提供了需要循环锻炼机器的后勤支持，以循环到全球分布的研究船以及将核心返回到NSF Marine Geology Archives Cruise后Cruise.Boarder影响本提案的主要影响，这是根据提案指南的优异审查标准2（NSF 13-589）。它为科学家提供了基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享用途的仪器来支持其NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（NSF相关研究计划单独进行了审查）。 共享使用工具的获取，维护和操作允许NSF资助的任何美国大学或实验室访问工作，校准其研究的仪器，降低该研究的成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。本奖项奖反映了NSF的立法任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力评估和广泛的评估来评估的，并值得通过评估来进行评估。
