Index to Marine & Lacustrine Geological Samples

The Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples is a tool to help scientists locate and obtain geologic material from sea floor and lakebed cores, grabs, and dredges archived by participating institutions around the world. Data and images related to the samples are prepared and contributed by the institutions for access via the IMLGS and long-term archive at NGDC. Before proposing research on any sample, please contact the curator for sample condition and availability. A consortium of Curators guides the IMLGS, maintained on behalf of the group by NGDC, since 1977.

《海洋与湖泊地质样品索引》是一项辅助科学家定位和获取来自全球参与机构所存档的海底和湖底岩芯、抓取物和疏浚物的地质材料的工具。相关数据与图像由机构准备并贡献给 IMLGS 和 NGDC 的长期档案，以供访问。在提出对任何样品的研究之前，请与样品管理员联系以确认样品的状态和可用性。自 1977 年以来，由 NGDC 代表该团体维护的馆长联盟指导着 IMLGS。
