| Survey Equipment | Survey Info | Data Type(s) | Data Collected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Handheld GPS | --- | Navigation | |
| Gravity Core | --- | Geology | |
| Vibracore | --- | Geology | Core locations, segment depths, and estimated compaction from vibracores (This portion of the data release presents measurements and data from two vibracores (JRBP2018-VC01A and JRBP2018-VC01B).) Sediment grain-size distributions from vibracores (This portion of the data release presents sediment grain-size data from vibracores. In total, 36 samples were subsampled from two vibracores: JRBP2018-VC01A and JRBP2018-VC01B. The grain-size distributions of samples were determined using standard techniques developed by the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center sediment lab.) Computed Tomography (CT) scans of vibracores (This portion of the data release presents computed tomography (CT) images from vibracores.) Photographs of vibracores (This portion of the data release presents linescan images (photographs) from vibracores. Images were obtained from two vibracores (JRBP2018-VC01A and JRBP2018-VC01B) at 50-micron (200 pixel per cm) resolution. Color images in 16-bit TIFF format are provided for each core segment, along with proprietary metadata files containing image scaling information.) Gamma-ray bulk density measurements of vibracore JRBP2018-VC01B (This portion of the data release presents gamma-ray bulk density measurements of vibracore JRBP2018-VC01B.) X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) scans of vibracores (This portion of the data release presents X-ray Flourescence (XRF) data from vibracores. The XRF data are provided in comma-delimited files (.csv), one per core.) |
