Sedimentary Age Models, Benthic Foraminifera, Mass Accumulation Rates, And Volcanic Grain Data From R/V Justo Sierra Cruise In The Southern Gulf And Ixtoc I From 2015-08-03 To 2015-08-06, Patrick Schwing Nov 2018

Sedimentary Age Models, Benthic Foraminifera, Mass Accumulation Rates, And Volcanic Grain Data From R/V Justo Sierra Cruise In The Southern Gulf And Ixtoc I From 2015-08-03 To 2015-08-06, Patrick Schwing

C-IMAGE data

This dataset includes age models, benthic foraminifera species counts used for stable isotope analysis, mass accumulation rates and volcanic grain counts from 6 sediment cores collected throughout the southern Gulf of Mexico during the R/V Justo Sierra cruise in the Southern Gulf and Ixtoc I from 2015-08-03 to 2015-08-06. Samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry with High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) gamma-ray detectors (Canberra Coaxial Planar configuration) for total 210Pb (46.5 keV), 214Pb (295 keV and 351 keV), and 214Bi (609 keV) activities. The mean activity of the 214Pb (295 keV), 214Pb (351 keV), and 214Bi (609 keV) was used as a …


Short-Lived Radioisotope (Excess Pb210) Measurements From Sediment Cores Collected Throughout The Gulf Of Mexico From 2010-11-07 To 2017-07-20, Patrick Schwing, David Hollander Oct 2018

Short-Lived Radioisotope (Excess Pb210) Measurements From Sediment Cores Collected Throughout The Gulf Of Mexico From 2010-11-07 To 2017-07-20, Patrick Schwing, David Hollander

C-IMAGE data

This dataset includes baseline short-lived radioisotope measurements from sediment cores collected throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry with High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) gamma-ray detectors (Canberra Coaxial Planar configuration) for total 210Pb (46.5 keV), 214Pb (295 keV and 351 keV), and 214Bi (609 keV) activities. The mean activity of the 214Pb (295 keV), 214Pb (351 keV), and 214Bi (609 keV) was used as a proxy for 226Ra activity and therefore the supported 210Pb that is produced in situ. The reported excess 210Pb (210Pbxs) is the difference of the total 210Pb and the supported 210Pb.
