Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center's Samples Repository capabilities.

The Samples Repository was officially formed in 2002 to formally catalog and organize geologic, geochemical, and biological collections, and establish protocols for their preservation and access. Since its inception, the Repository has seen developments in collections management strategies, as well as the construction of the current storage facility, the K.O. Emery Geotechnical Wing.
