Multi Sensor Core Logger Data and Sediment Calcium Carbonate Contents measured on sediment cores collected from THOMAS G. THOMPSON in Southeast Indian Ocean from 2018-11-12 to 2018-12-12 (NCEI Accession 0259005)

Preview graphic

Unsplit sections of long cores were measured using a Multi Sensor Core Logger, and discreet sediment samples were analyzed for calcium carbonate content. Data were collected to provide preliminary core stratigraphies. Data are provided in tabular format.

Processing Steps	Parameter or Variable: Multi Sensor Core Logger Data (measured); Units: Mixed; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: Geotek MSCL 7.9; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Unsplit core sections were run through a Geotek Multi Sensor Core Logger to determine P wave amplitude, P wave velocity, Density, Magnetic Susceptibility, Impedance, Resistivity and calculated Fractional Porosity; Data Quality Method: MSCL was calibrated using calibration standards. For further details see GEOTEK MSCL manual at https://www.geotek.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/MSCL-manual-1-Nov-16.pdf. Parameter or Variable: Sediment Calcium Carbonate Contents (measured); Units: percent; Observation Category: laboratory analysis; Sampling Instrument: CM5017 CO2 coulometer; Sampling and Analyzing Method: bulk sedimentary CaCO3 content of samples was measured at the University of Florida at the Department of Geological Sciences. Total inorganic carbon was first measured coulometrically using a UIC 5017 CO2 coulometer coupled with an AutoMate automated carbonate preparation device. Approximately 15 mg of sample was weighed into septum top tubes and placed into the AutoMate carousel. A double needle assembly was used to purge the sample vial of atmospheric gas using CO2-free nitrogen carrier gas. Acid was then injected into the sample vial and evolved CO2 was carried through a silver nitrate scrubber to the coulometer where total C as CO2 is measured.; Data Quality Method: Pure CaCO3 standards and blanks were run every 17 samples..
