Title: Data report: revised late Miocene splice of IODP Site U1448 (353-U1448B-48F-1, 1 cm, to 353-U1448A-56X-5, 60 cm), Expedition 353, Indian Monsoon Rainfall
We modified the original sediment splice of International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 353 Site U1448 over the interval 353-U1448B-48F-1, 1 cm, to 353-U1448A-56X-5, 60 cm, using new high-resolution X-ray fluorescence scanning data and linescan images. The revised splice now extends from 351.65 to 401.69 revised meters composite depth (r-mcd). We further appended the interval between 353-U1448A-53X-1, 0 cm, and 56X-5, 60 cm, thus extending the composite record down to 439.45 r-mcd.  more » « less

    The shipboard sediment splice of International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 363 Site U1483, drilled in 1733 m water depth on the Scott Plateau off Northwest Australia, was primarily based on a composite of the magnetic susceptibility records at 2.5 cm resolution from three holes drilled at this site. We performed X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core scanning at 2 cm intervals with overlaps of ~1–2 m at splice tie points and used these new data to verify the tie points along the original splice from 0 to 211.53 m core composite depth below seafloor (CCSF). Based on the XRF records, we revised the position of three original tie points and present a revised composite depth scale for Site U1483. These revisions resulted in shifts of up to 94 cm relative to the original shipboard offsets and a continuous section extending down to 211.62 m revised core composite depth below seafloor (r-CCSF).

    Sediment cores from adjacent holes at a drill site are typically spliced to make a continuous sediment record that spans sediment gaps that occur between sediment cores within each hole. The splice also provides a template for later sampling. During International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 355, we made such a splice for both Sites U1456 and U1457 using shipboard Whole-Round Multisensor Logger and Section Half Multisensor Logger data. The shipboard-spliced sediment section at Site U1457 was constructed for the advanced piston corer interval to an age of about 1.5 Ma. Additional postexpedition planktonic foraminifer stable isotope data (Globigerinoides ruber δ18O) show that the shipboard stratigraphic tie between Cores 355-U1457B-1H and 355-U1457A-1H was wrong. This paper describes a revised splice that appends Core 355-U1457A-1H to the base of Core 355-U1457B-1H. The core composite depth below seafloor depths of the remaining splice have been revised because of this change. The revised splice interval is also longer by 1.2 m to accommodate the lower part of Core 355-U1457B-1H. In addition, a break of unknown thickness is present between Cores 355-U1457B-1H and 355-U1457A-1H. The revised splice interval table is included in this report.

    International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 363 recovered extended Neogene to Quaternary carbonate- and clay-rich sedimentary successions at Site U1482 (15°3.32ʹS, 120°26.10ʹE; 1466 m water depth), drilled at the southwestern edge of the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool off northwest Australia (Rosenthal et al., 2018b). Four holes were drilled with the advanced piston corer (APC) system at this site and deepened with the half-length APC (HLAPC) and extended core barrel (XCB) systems. A shipboard splice, from 0 to 451.26 m core composite depth below seafloor (CCSF), was established. After the expedition, the cores were scanned at high-resolution (1–2 cm) using an Avaatech X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core scanner. Scanning was performed along the shipboard splice with approximately 1 m overlap at the splice tie points for verification. Based on this new data set, we revised nine of the original splice tie points. The revised splice for Site U1482 now extends to 445.11 m revised CCSF and is available from the IODP Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) database.

  4. This chapter documents the procedures and methods employed in the various shipboard laboratories of the R/V JOIDES Resolution during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 353. This information applies only to shipboard work described in the Expedition Reports section of the Expedition 353 Proceedings of the International Ocean Discovery Program volume. Methods used by investigators for shore-based analyses of Expedition 353 data will be described in separate individual publications.

  5. This data report presents the benthic foraminiferal oxygen and carbon isotope records for International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1448 in the Andaman Sea. The record includes 1764 analyses spanning from the core top to 203.19 m core composite depth below the seafloor, Method D. This depth interval spans the past 2.755 My with an average temporal resolution of ~1.9 ky (14 cm sample interval).
