BLM/OCS Southern California Studies
|
|
Data in this file were produced by Science Applications Inc., prime contractor on the Bureau of Land Management/Outer Continental Shelf- Southern California studies (BLM/OCS). The data were received at NGDC via NODC on August 19, 1997. Documentation has been transcribed to the README file accompanying the data. No paper report exists. Additional data codes and documentation are in poor, extremely hard to read condition. Some parts of the documentation are available in the .pdf file referenced above.

Base de Donnees Geochimiques des Depots Ferromanganesifers d'Origine Oceanique Lacustre et Fossile
|
|
The Centre National Pour l'Exploitation des Oceans (CNEXO) ferromanganese nodule analysis files consist of geochemical data from published reports pertaining to oceanic ferromanganese deposits, including Russian, since 1891. Data were compiled under the direction of J.M. Monget of Ecoles de Mines, Paris through 1976 and contain data for nearly 200 core, dredge, and grab samples. Data include method of analysis, oxide/item/element concentrations, location, water depth, sample lithology, and bibliographic references. The CNEXO data are also available as part of the NGDC marine minerals database and are offered on the NOAA & MMS Marine Minerals CD-ROM data set released by NGDC in October of 1992.

SIO Ferromanganese Nodule Analysis File
|
|
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography compiled data on the geochemistry of marine ferromanganese nodules as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration, funded by the National Science Foundation. The files were discontinued in 1981. The SIO files contain data from approximately 1,500 samples collected at 800 locations worldwide. Data were abstracted from the literature, and other sources.

SIO Manganese Nodule Sediment Description File
|
|
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography compiled descriptions of sediment samples related to ferromanganese deposits, funded through the IDOE, as part of the SIO world sediment data bank. Nodule description data are for approximately 200 core, dredge, and grab samples worldwide. Data include lithology, percent CaCO3, constituents by grain size, organic material/fossils, ages, other features, and minerals.

Univ. of Minnesota, Large Lakes Observatory Lake Victoria Cruise V95 Cores Biogenic Silica and Carbon 14 Age Dates
|
|
The Biogenic Silica Data file contains data for 5 cores taken from various sites in Lake Victoria. The data include ship, coring date, water depth, latitude/longitude, sampling device, sampled interval, % biogenic silica, and 14C dates. Cores were sampled at 10 cm intervals for biogenic silica analysis. Samples taken for 14C dating were prepared at the LRC Laboratory and sent to an outside AMS Facility for analysis. Pollen, charcoal, and plant macrofossils were dated.
