Methods & Sampling

Un-split core sections were received at the National Lacustrine Core Repository (LaCore) facility and analyzed via Geotek MSCL core logger. Gamma ray attenuation density, non-contacting electrical resistivity, p-wave velocity, and magnetic susceptibility were measured via LaCore’s standard procedures. Acoustical impedance and fractional porosity are calculated properties.

Data Processing Description

There has been no data processing. This is raw data output.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- Modified parameter names (replaced spaces with underscores; renamed "Lan" to "Lat");
- replaced spaces with underscores in the "Lake_Name" and "Device" columns (to allow for sorting);
- re-formatted date to yyyy-mm-dd.

Instruments

Multi-Sensor Core Logger

Supplied Name: MSCL-S

Supplied Description:

Multi-Sensor Core Logger (Geotek Ltd., Daventry, Northamptonshire, UK). Automated core scanning suite.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Multi-Sensor Core Logger

Acronym: MSCL-S

Generic Description:

The Geotek Standard Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL-S) is a commercially available tool for gathering both physical and chemical properties from core samples in an automated and quality controlled way. See more info from the manufracturer: https://www.geotek.co.uk/products/mscl-s/

Percussion Corer

Supplied Name: Universal Percussion Corer

Supplied Description:

Universal Percussion Corer (Aquatic Research Instruments, Hope, Indiana): Hand-operated sediment coring device.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Percussion Corer

Generic Description:

Capable of being performed in numerous environments, percussion coring techniques are just as they sound. Similar to push coring (in which the core barrel is pushed into the sediment by hand), in percussion coring, the core is driven into the sediment by a percussion instrument such as a mallet or slide hammer.

Piston Corer

Supplied Name: Colinvaux‐Vohnout Livingstone‐type rod‐operated piston corer

Supplied Description:

Colinvaux‐Vohnout Livingstone‐type rod‐operated piston corer (Geocore, Columbus, Ohio): Hand-operated sediment coring device.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Piston Corer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/51/

Generic Description:

The piston corer is a type of bottom sediment sampling device. A long, heavy tube is plunged into the seafloor to extract samples of mud sediment. A piston corer uses a "free fall" of the coring rig to achieve a greater initial force on impact than gravity coring. A sliding piston inside the core barrel reduces inside wall friction with the sediment and helps to evacuate displaced water from the top of the corer. A piston corer is capable of extracting core samples up to 90 feet in length.
