The Polar Rock Repository (PRR) is part of the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center (BPCRC) at the Ohio State University. The PRR 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 and available for further research. Only underwater samples (dredges, trawls, and grabs) curated by the PRR are described in the IMLGS. The originating institution is the definitive source of information related to their sample collection. Each PRR entry in the IMLGS links back to a definitive web page for that sample at the PRR.
