Japan Oceanographic Data Center (JODC) Descriptions of Seafloor Sediment Through 1975
This file was compiled by the Japan Oceanographic Data Center using the IOC Marine
Geological Data Format. It includes 748 master records and 1740 data records. It contains
information on unconsolidated sediments and hard rocks from the seafloor, including
station location, collecting institution and ship, date of collection, type of collecting
device, analysis method(s), grain size information, biogenous components, structure,
non-biogenous components, age, sediment color, and remarks. Igneous, sedimentary,
and metamorphic rocks are also noted including encrustations, and erratics. Mass physical
properties are given for sediments, including density, specific gravity of solids,
water content, void ration, porosity, Atterberg limits, activity, cohesion, consolidation,
sensitivity, and acoustic properties. These data are available for direct download
from NCEI's Web site.

Lineage Statement | Data were received from the Japan Oceanographic Data Center (JODC) by the former World Data Center for Marine Geology and Geophysics, Boulder (now the World Data Service for Geophysics) for archive and distribution on exchange. Data were received on a nine track, EBCDIC magnetic tape containing one file of 80 character records, 3200 characters per block, in the historic Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) sediment format. |
