Physical properties measured on 38 sediment cores from METEOR cruise M41/3

Listed in PANGAEA

The complete sediment series recovered during METEOR Cruise M 41/3 with the gravity corer were subject to laboratory geophysical studies.

Description

Shipboard measurements on the segmented cores routinely comprised three basic physical parameters: - compressional (p-) wave velocity vp, - electric resistivity Rs (as a measure of density and porosity), and, - magnetic volume susceptibility K. These properties are cIosely related to lithology and grain size of the sediments and provide high-resolution core logs (spacing 1 cm for p-wave velocity, 2 cm for eIectric resistivity and magnetic volume susceptibility) available prior to all other detailed investigations.

In addition, oriented samples for subsequent shore-based rock and paleomagnetic studies were taken at routine intervals of 5 cm.
