IODP Bremen Core Repository

The Bremen Core Repository - BCR, for International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), Integrated Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), Ocean Drilling Program (ODP), and Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) cores from the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean and Black Seas and Arctic Ocean is operated at University of Bremen within the framework of the German participation in IODP. It is one of three IODP repositories (beside Gulf Coast Repository (GCR) in College Station, TX, and Kochi Core Center (KCC), Japan). One of the scientific goals of IODP is to research the deep biosphere and the subseafloor ocean. IODP has deep-frozen microbiological samples from the subseafloor available for interested researchers and will continue to collect and preserve geomicrobiology samples for future research.

不莱梅核心库（BCR），作为国际海洋发现计划（IODP）、综合海洋发现计划（IODP）、海洋钻探计划（ODP）以及深海钻探项目（DSDP）的代表性样本，涵盖了大西洋、地中海、黑海以及北冰洋地区的海底岩芯，由德国不莱梅大学在参与IODP的框架下进行管理。该库是IODP三大样本库之一（除德克萨斯州科尔斯敦的墨西哥湾海岸库（GCR）和日本高知核心中心（KCC）外）。IODP的科学目标之一即为深入研究深海生物圈及海底下海洋环境。该计划为有兴趣的研究者提供了来自海底下微生物的深度冷冻样本，并将持续收集与保存地质微生物学样本以备未来研究之用。
