IODP Expedition 359 Titration

Various chemical constituents (most commonly chloride) were measured by titration using either an autotitrator (chloride) or a manual titrator (other compounds). Chloride was measured by ion-selective electrode and a silver nitrate titration until all chloride is bound as silver chloride.

IODP Expedition 359 Magnetic remanence (spinner)

Magnetic remanence was measured on discrete samples by an Agico JR-6A spinner magnetometer, first as natural remanent magnetization (NRM) and then after demagnetization or remagnetization steps were performed on the samples (e.g., alternating field [AF] demagnetization, thermal demagnetization [TD], or isothermal remanent magnetization [IRM]).

IODP Expedition 359 Spectrophotometry

Interstitial water constitutents were measured by UV-VIS spectrometry using colorimetric methods (e.g., ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silica, and sulfide) by an Agilent CARY 100 UV-VIS spectrophotometer.

IODP Expedition 359 Source rock analyzer (SRA)

SRA is run for the purpose of safety monitoring and yields information about thermal maturation and source of hydrocarbons, as well as petroleum potential, in the sediment or rocks at a drilled site. Samples are heated in a pyrolysis oven in an inert atmosphere to quantitatively and selectively determine free hydrocarbons contained in the sample and the hydrogen- and oxygen-containing compounds that are volatilized during the cracking of unextractable organic matter in the sample (kerogen).

IODP Expedition 359 Section summary

Report includes data for individual core sections: coring/drilling depths and recovery, database identifiers for the whole section and section halves, and number of samples taken from the section before and after splitting.

IODP Expedition 359 Thermal conductivity

Thermal conductivity was measured using the heated needle method in either full-space needle configuration (soft/saturated sediments) or half-space needle configuration (harder materials) of a TeKa Berlin TK-04 thermal conductivity meter. Heat is applied to the sample and then thermal equilibrium is sought. The heating and equilibration curve is reduced to derive the thermal conductivity value. Raw data are stored if a user wishes to do off-line or postexpedition reduction.

IODP Expedition 359 Formation temperature

Formation temperature was measured by the advanced piston corer temperature tool (APCT-3), Sediment Temperature Tool (SET), or sediment temperature pressure tool (SETP) and reduced to in situ temperature and (for SETP) pressure estimates. These data are compiled per instrument run and assigned to a core (the core cut with the APCT-3 cutting shoe or the core following the SET deployment).

IODP Expedition 359 Visual core description

Descriptions of samples, generally at the section half and smear slide or thin section scale, were performed by shipboard scientists and recorded in the JRSO description software. Descriptive data for both macroscopic and microscopic examination were collected in a Microscoft Excel workbook by hole. A zip file of the entire expedition's observations is also available.

IODP Expedition 359 Carbonates composite report

This composite report includes data from two analyses (total carbon from Elemental analysis [CHNS], and inorganic carbon from [Coulometer]). Each row combines the CHNS and Coulometer data from measurements made on the same sample at the same time for a particular section and section offset (depth). If data do not exist for a particular expedition, the column does not appear. To identify individual samples and tests, see each separate data type (Elemental analysis and Coulometer). If the same sample was measured multiple times by any of the methods, results in the report will be combined on one line where possible. Each additional replicate result will be shown in subsequent rows and will be combined where possible. Report includes results for carbon forms: total, inorganic, calcium carbonate, and organic by difference, along with total hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

IODP Expedition 359 Core summary

Report includes detailed core data: drilling and coring depths, advancement, recovered core length measured on the catwalk and final curated length, core recovery, and sections cut.

IODP Expedition 359 Alkalinity and pH

Alkalinity was determined by Gran titration with an autotitrator (Metrohm 794 basic Titrino) using 0.1 M HCl at 20 degrees C. Report includes alkalinity, correction factor (if applicable), and pH.

IODP Expedition 359 Core composite images

A digital composite image (PNG) is made for each core comprising core sections scanned using a line-scan camera. The composite layout is equivalent to traditional core table photos. Top left is top of core; color and meter rule references are included.

IODP Expedition 359 Closeup images

Close-up images taken by digital cameras as requested by the science party, typically when the section-half image is not sufficient. Close-up photographs of the areas of interest may be taken from whole-round sections, pieces, or section halves in sediments and rock.

IODP Expedition 359 Elemental analysis (CHNS)

Fundamental elemental component (total carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur) fluctuations help define the origin, depositional environment, and diagenetic alteration of source materials. To determine C, H, N, and S, solid samples are reacted with a catalyst, separated by chromatography, and detected by thermal conductivity on a FlashEA 1112 CHNS elemental analyzer. Organic carbon can be directly measured on the elemental analyzer by acidification of the sample to drive off carbonate as carbon dioxide before analyzing. Total organic carbon on this report is measured rather than calculated.

IODP Expedition 359 Inorganic carbon (coulometer)

Inorganic carbon (carbonate) is determined by coulometry, which uses a photodetection cell to measure carbon dioxide evolved during sample acidification. Report includes percent inorganic carbon and calcium carbonate.

IODP Expedition 359 Salinity

Salinity was measured on interstitial water (IW) samples using an optical refractometer.

IODP Expedition 359 Hole drilling summary

Report includes detailed drilling data: BHA length, bit parameters, and primary depth measurements.

IODP Expedition 359 Hole summary

Report lists hole data: location, water depth, drilling, coring system, and core recovery.
