Description
Summary:This data set includes grain size information from late Pliocene through Pleistocene aged sediment recovered in cores from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 374 Sites U1524 and U1525, on the continental slope and rise of the Ross Sea margin. There are two types of particle size data: (1) laser diffraction (Mastersizer 3000) data of silt-range sediment subsampled from mm-scale thick laminae/beds, and (2) x-ray-monitored settling (SediGraph 5120) data from muddy intervals directly overlying the silt laminae/beds. For Site U1524, there are 100 samples of Mastersizer data coupled with 100 samples of SediGraph data. For Site U1525, there are 50 samples of Mastersizer data coupled with 50 samples of SediGraph data. For both sites, the analyzed samples span the depth range of the core that contains the silty laminae/beds. ...
