The Marine Geological Samples Laboratory (MGSL) of the Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO), University of Rhode Island 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 also sends 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 MGSL is a national facility that assists US scientists with marine sample curation and access, and is also the main repository for dredge rocks, deep-sea cores, grabs and land-based geological samples collected by the Marine Geology and Geophysics group at GSO/URI. The MGSL is located on the Narragansett Bay Campus of the University of Rhode Island in Narragansett, R.I. A majority of the funding for curatorial activities in the MGSL is provided by the Ocean Sciences Division of the National Science Foundation.
