SESAR is working with sample repositories to improve linking between existing sample information. The IMLGS (Index to Marine & Lacustrine Geological Samples) has provided links to their records for over 35,000 SESAR sample profiles for several sample repositories. The links appear at the bottom of the sample profiles.

Sample repositories with this improved linking include:

• The Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility (example)
• The Lamont Doherty Core Repository (example)
• The Ocean Drilling Program (example)
• The University of Rhode Island Marine Geological Samples Laboratory (example)
• The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (example)

Any user can add relevant URL links to their own profiles by choosing the “edit” link in MySESAR. For bulk updates please contact info@geosamples.org.
