Physical properties measured on 83 sediment cores from METEOR cruise M46/3

The sediment series recovered during R/V METEOR Cruise M46/3 with the gravity corer were subject to laboratory geophysical studies. Shipboard measurements on the segmented cores routinely comprised three basic physical parameters: compressional (p-) wave velocity vp, electric resistivity Rs (as a measure of density and porosity) and magnetic volume susceptibility K.

These properties are closely related to lithology and grain size of the sediments and provide high-resolution core logs (spacing 1 cm for p-wave velocity, 2 cm for electric resistivity and magnetic volume susceptibility) available prior to all other detailed investigations. In addition, oriented samples for subsequent share based rock and paleomagnetic studies were taken at typically 5 cm intervals.
