Physical properties measured on 23 sediment cores from METEOR cruise M34/1

During METEOR Cruise M 34/1 all recovered gravity cores were subject to laboratory geophysical studies. A routine shipboard measurement of three physical parameters was carried out on the segmented sediment cores, comprising the determination of - the compressional (P-) wave velocity vp, - the electric resistivity Rs, and - the magnetic volume susceptibility K. These properties are closely related to the grain size, porosity and Iithology of the sediments and provide high-resolution core logs (spacing 3, 3 and 1 cm, respectively) available prior to all other detailed investigations. In addition, oriented sampies for later shore based paleo- and rockmagnetic studies were taken at intervals of 10 cm
