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. ER -
