Nature is carrying an article by Alexandra Witze about Florida State giving a half-century of Antarctic geologic history the boot. From the article, Iconic Antarctic geology lab gets the boot [nature.com]:

The US National Science Foundation (NSF) is looking for a new place to store its Antarctic marine-sediment cores, the world's biggest collection of environmental records from the Southern Ocean. The cores have lain on shelves at Florida State University in Tallahassee since 1963. But last year, the university told the NSF that it no longer wanted to host the collection. Ideas for where the Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility might move to are due by 3 August.
