The National Science Foundation Ice Core Facility (NSF-ICF), known as the National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL) before 2018, is the primary repository for ice cores collected by the United States. The facility is located at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado, and is managed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Funding for the facility comes from the National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs, while scientific research is managed by the University of New Hampshire. NSF-ICF currently houses ~22,000 m of ice cores collected from Greenland and Antarctica, including the GISP2, Siple Dome, and portions of the Vostok cores. It is the lead facility for management of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide ice core. In addition to providing a large storage facility, maintained at -35 °C, NSF-ICF also has one of the largest sub-zero research and sample preparation spaces in the world. NSF-ICF is responsible for distributing samples of ice cores in their collection to researchers around the world, following approved research proposals. In addition to the primary archive freezer, NSF-ICF has a nonsterile exam room, as well as a FED-STD-209E class-100 HEPA-filtered, cold cleanroom held at -24 °C that scientists use when examining ice cores. Scientists generally use the exam rooms to cut samples from the ice cores, and then ship the samples back to their home institution for analysis. Very little analysis of the ice cores occurs at NSF-ICF itself. In addition to research activities, NSF-ICF also participates in public outreach and gives ~100 tours per year.

Rooney Ranch is an historic ranch near Morrison, unincorporated Jefferson County, Colorado. Alexander Rooney came west in 1859 seeking an opportunity. He did a variety of work to earn his keep from stone masonry (Central City, the Masonic Lodge), cartage of lumber and other supplies to the mining camps around Denver and South Park, to a dairy farm. He found the high altitude uncomfortable, so he sought out winter pasture at lower elevations for his cattle. In the fall of 1861 he found what he was looking for along the eastern edge of the hogback, between the mountains and the plains. He brought his wife, Emeline, and his family west from Anamosa, Iowa.Over the years, he acquired many square miles of land. The family used homesteading to acquire 160 acres (65 hectares) for each qualified member of the family. They also purchased military patents, State land grant college lands, Union pacific lands, and property from other homesteaders. The ranch ran from the hogback on the west to the South Platte River on the east, from Bear Creek on the south to Table Mountain near Golden on the north. His main earnings were from the cattle and horses he raised. He introduced Galloway cattle from Scotland. Shipped from Scotland to Missouri, he drove them overland to his ranch. The Galloway cattle provided both meat and heavy coats from their hides. He also bred Morgan horses which were sold to the United States Cavalry and the British Army. The family discontinued the cattle ranching in 1971.
