Physical properties measured on 75 sediment cores from METEOR cruise M38/2

The complete sediment series recovered during METEOR Cruise M38/2 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 shore based rock and paleomagnetic studies were taken at typically 5 cm intervals.
