Abstract
The British Ocean Sediment Core Research Facility (BOSCORF) is a unique and internationally-recognised facility providing the UK community with some of the best core logging facilities available in Europe. It provides research facilities used in all NERC Theme Science Priority Areas and contributes directly to NERC Directed and Core Programmes and high-profile international projects. Its state-of-the-art facilities underpin crucial UK research in all areas encompassed by the NERC mission.
BOSCORF was founded as a NERC facility in 1997 and the core repository was extended in 2001, this extension was envisaged as providing storage for the next ten years of core acquisition (i.e. to 2011). Since 2001, BOSCORF's core holdings have increased very significantly with 2014 alone seeing a 20% increase in core material held. In 2018, the total volume of sediment cores held within BOSCORF is 8.8 km, which equates to £295 million investment by NERC in ship time for their collection.
Since 2014, the number of users per year has more than doubled and the number of Ph.D. students supported by the facility has increased threefold. Recent years have also seen a marked widening of the BOSCORF user base to include archaeologists, geographers and biomedical researchers in addition to marine geologists. This demonstrates the importance of BOSCORF facilities in a wide range of research areas.

Planned Impact
BOSCORF provides a centralised community facility for the long-term optimised storage of sediment cores, along with a suite of state-of-the-art non-destructive sediment core scanners available for community use. BOSCORF thereby provides the science community with analytical capabilities and that would otherwise be inaccessible to researchers. Impact will be reviewed annually by the BOSCORF Advisory Group and evaluated against the LRI KPIs and benefits realisation plan.
Science Impact: BOSCORF is key to enabling research on sediment cores from a range of environments, which are critical for research into past environmental change, natural hazards, sustainable use of natural resources and pollution. Science impact will monitored through BOSCORF contribution to peer reviewed publications.
Postgraduate and Early Career Researchers (ECRs) Training Programme Impact: BOSCORF plays a major role in training postgraduate students and ECRs. Training is delivered on a one-to-one basis, through formal courses and workshops, and through scientific meetings and literature.
International community impact: BOSCORF actively promotes and facilitates interdisciplinary and collaborative research; expansion of research and industry networks in the UK, EU and worldwide. Through the dissemination of specialised knowledge and innovation of new developments in core analysis and curatorial protocols, BOSCORF will continue to play a major role in the international science community.
Outreach/Public Engagement Activities Impact: Engaging the public with BOSCORF supported research raises both the quality and impact of the research. Increasing public 'ocean literacy' is one of the aims of the host institute, NOCS, and engaging the public with the BOSCORF core collection exposes them to the full range of research conducted by the marine geosciences research group at NOCS, the NERC research vessels and the wider environmental science community who rely upon the facility.

| Description | The British Ocean Sediment Core Research Facility (BOSCORF) is a unique and internationally-recognised facility providing the environmental science community with high quality experienced core logging facilities. It provides scientific facilities that underpin the research required to deliver UKRI NERC's strategy 'The Business of the Environment' by contributing directly to NERC Directed and Core Programmes and high-profile international projects. BOSCORF offers a centralised community facility for the long-term optimised storage of marine sediment cores, and safeguards the ~£295 million asset investment by NERC to collect the sediment cores. In addition to providing open access to NERC's marine sediment core collections for scientific researchers, and actively promotes re-usage of samples. A high-quality instrumentation suite for community use for analysing sediment cores to extract maximum high-resolution environmental datasets with far-reaching applications. No other national facility exists that can offer the collective research infra-structure that BOSCORF provides to UK science community. This includes the centralised provision of specialised long-term core storage facilities, advanced non-destructive core logging and analysis capability and highly-specialised analytical support and training. Centralisation of these facilities represents a critical mass both in operations, and in technical and regulatory compliance, which is an effective and financially-viable large-scale infrastructure service provider to the science community. Specialised and bespoke training opportunities are open to all PhD students and academic researchers to enhance data outputs. Through the dissemination of specialised knowledge and innovation of new developments in sediment core analysis and curatorial protocols, BOSCORF plays a major role in the international science community. |
| Exploitation Route | BOSCORF provides a unique and strategic service to the scientific community. It maintains an advanced sediment core logging instrumentation suite of interest to a broad user base, that includes marine geoscientists, biogeochemists, geographers and archaeologists. BOSCORF promotes multiple usage of the marine sediment core material in its care ensuring cost-effective exploitation of an important national scientific resource. It is also responsible for long-term curation of marine sediment core-based data relating to its holdings and from sediment core-based national marine programmes in compliance with NERC data management policy. |

| Description | The BOSCORF ITRAX micro-XRF core scanner has been used to characterise sediment cores collected as part of the "Blue Mining" consortium, will develop solutions that will bring sustainable deep sea mining a big step closer. The project addresses all aspects of the value chain in this field, from resource discovery to resource assessment and from exploitation technologies to the legal and regulatory framework. The project "Breakthrough Solutions for Mineral Extraction and Processing in Extreme Environment - Blue Mining" received funding from the European Commission. The extreme conditions found on the deep-ocean floor raise specific challenges, both technically and environmentally, which are demanding and entirely different from land-based mining. Today, European offshore industries and marine research institutions have some global advantage through their significant experience and technology and are well positioned to develop engineering and knowledge-based solutions to resource exploitation in these challenging and sensitive environments. |

| Title | Multiproxy dataset |
| Description | he global climate has been dominated by glacial-interglacial variations since the intensification of Northern Hemisphere glaciation 2.7 million years ago. Although the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation has exerted strong influence on recent climatic changes, there is controversy over its influence on Northern Hemisphere glaciation because its deep limb, North Atlantic Deep Water, was thought to have weakened. Here we show that Northern Hemisphere glaciation was amplified by the intensified Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, based on multi-proxy records from the subpolar North Atlantic. We found that the Iceland-Scotland Overflow Water, contributing North Atlantic Deep Water, significantly increased after 2.7 million years ago and was actively maintained even in early stages of individual glacials, in contrast with late stages when it drastically decreased because of iceberg melting. Probably, the active Nordic Seas overturning during the early stages of glacials facilitated the efficient growth of ice sheets and amplified glacial oscillations. |

The workshop is intended for geoscience students who have no experience of logging soft sediment cores, but who wish to gain some insight into how sediment core descriptions can be used to interpret environmental settings. This is a laboratory-based introductory workshop to sedimentological core logging, smear slide analysis and data visualisation, using examples from the BOSCORF collection to cover a range of environments. Included in the day course will be a tour of BOSCORF and NOC. 17 December 2019 |
