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 spatial information for 27 core sites (full core, grab sample, or both) collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2008 and 11 archive cores (LDEO) within the area surrounding Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These data are available in shapefile, comma separated (CSV), and Microsoft Excel (XLS) formats.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Any spurious data points were removed during creation of the spreadsheet file. The data are related to whole-core or grab sample determinations. Completeness_Report: This report contains all the samples collected during 2008. There are missing core numbers because each site was given a number regardless if it was a failure or a success. The 27 successful sites from the R/V Seward Johnson 2008 cruise were: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 38, and 40. There are eleven archive cores from LDEO that had radiocarbon age dates in the area of investigation. These were: RC08-115, RC08-116, RC08-118, RC09-38, RC09-39, RC09-40, RC09-42, RC09-43, VM20-002, VM22-18, and VM24-261. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The 2008 latitude and longitude were taken from the R/V Seward Johnson's DGPS system which gives about 20 centimeter accuracy. The location of the archive cores were provided through the NGDC log report. Since these cores were collected in the 1960's we assume they used a LORAN navigation system. The LORAN system has less accuracy than the DGPS. Because of the variety of horizontal datums of the originally collected data, the horizontal datum will be defined as WGS 84 to agree with the most recent and largest concentration of the data. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The R/V Seward Johnson was not equipped with a multibeam echosounder during the 2008 cruise. The depths were taken from a 50 m resolution grid bathymetric map with a Instantaneous Sea Level datum (Andrews and others, PR Bathymetry OFR (in prep)). Where cores fell outside the bathymetry map, the depth was taken from the 3.5 kHz echosounder (local surface). The depths for the archive cores were provided through their original report. We cannot be sure of what system was used to get depths, however we compared the reported depth with the same bathymetric grid and the greatest difference in depth was 660 meters for the RC08-118 core. The rest of the archive cores had no more than a 100 meter difference. Because of the variety and uncertainty of the depth information, the vertical datum will be defined as Instantaneous Sea Level, as defined in (Andrews and others, in prep).

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: For the 2008 SJ8 cores, core locations from the R/V Seward Johnson's DGPS system were recorded in the PRcore_locations spreadsheet (Microsoft Office Excel 2010) along with water depth information, field notes, cruise information, and core length.

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. In the case of the depth resolution, the value of 9999 was entered to indicate that the original metadata did not contain the required information. Minor fixes to the attribute format for some attributes were needed to meet the standard. 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.
