Physical properties measured on 58 sediment cores from METEOR cruise M34/3

During METEOR Cruise 34/3 the recovered gravity cores were subject to laboratory geophysical studies. A routine shipboard measurement of three physical parameters was carried out on the segmented sediment cores, comprising the determination of - the compressional (P-) wave velocity vp, - the electric resistivity Rs, and - the magnetic volume susceptibility K.

These properties are closely related to the grain size, porosity and lithology of the sediments and provide high-resolution core logs (spacing 1 cm for P-wave velocity and magnetic volume susceptibility, 2 cm for electric resistivity) available prior to all other detailed investigations. In addition, oriented sampies for later shore based paleo- and rockmagnetic studies were taken at intervals of 10 cm.
