The regions sampled have had many large earthquake and landslide events, some of which are believed to have triggered tsunamis. The objective of this coring cruise, carried out aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research vessel Seward Johnson, was to determine the age of several substantial slope failures and seismite layers near Puerto Rico in an effort to map their temporal distribution. Data gathered from the cores collected in 2008 and 11 archive cores from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory are included in this report. These data include lithologic logs, core summary sheets, x-ray fluorescence, wet-bulk density, magnetic susceptibility, grain-size analyses, radiographs, and radiocarbon age dates. Purpose: This data set contains field descriptions (PDF) for the 20 cores collected in 2008 on the R/V Seward Johnson during field activity 2008-008-FA.

Logical_Consistency_Report: The naming convention is: CoreName_field. The core name is the core number paired with the abbreviation GGC, which stands for giant gravity corer (##GGC). Field stands for field description. Completeness_Report: This report contains all of the field descriptions from the 2008 SJ8 cores. There were 20 cores requiring field descriptions: 5GGC, 7GGC, 8GGC, 9GGC, 10GGC, 12GGC, 13GGC, 17GGC, 18GGC, 20GGC, 21GGC, 22GGC, 23GGC, 24GGC, 28GGC, 31GGC, 33GGC, 34GGC, 38GGC, and 40GGC. There are missing numbers due to failed core attempts or a site that only yielded a bag samples. Lineage: Source_Information: Source_Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Andrews, B.D.

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Giant Gravity Corer (GGC) was used to collect the 20 cores in 2008. The gravity corer is a large diameter (10 centimeter) sampler that collects cores up to 6.5 meters in length. During field activity 2008-008-FA the corer was not rigged with liner longer than approximately 3 meters. Although cores were attempted at 40 core sites, core was recovered at only 20 sites. Seven additional sites yielded only samples (bagged) from the core catcher or cutting head. Of the 20 successful cores, three also have cutter/catcher bag samples. Process_Step: Process_Description: Jason D. Chaytor examined the cores at the U.S. Geological Survey in Woods Hole at a centimeter scale. Hand-written observations were made of sediment type, notable bioturbation, shells, texture, color, and stiffness. See the individual PDF's for a complete listing of the observations.

This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). Added additional online links in the Identification section. Updated a cross-reference citation to go from "in prep" to published. Fixed a link to data in the entity and attribute overview section. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
