Description:

Abstract:

In 2008, as a collaborative effort between Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the U.S. Geological Survey, 20 giant gravity cores were collected from areas surrounding Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 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 provides the descriptions of the 10 bag samples collected from the core catcher or cutting head during 2008-008-FA.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Files were double checked that description matched the core that was being described.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

This includes all bag samples from the 2008-008-FA. These samples either came from the core catcher or the cutting head or both. The naming convention is ##GGC, with GGC standing for giant gravity corer.

Completeness_Report:

This document includes observations from the 10 sites during 2008-008-FA that yielded bag samples. The sites with only bag samples are: 1GGC, 2GGC, 3GGC, 6GGC, 11GGC, 32GGC, and 35GGC. Three sites provided a bag sample along with a core: 7GGC, 8GGC, and 9GGC. Missing numbers are due to failed sites as well as sites with a successful core but no bag sample.

The gravity cores collected during U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2008-008-FA. 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:

Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.36 flagged. 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. 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.
