Post Voyage Analyses from Tasman and Coral Seas 2019

Post voyage analyses from NERC grant NE/S01067X/1 are derived from the R/V Investigator voyage IN2019_v04. The voyage surveyed the Tasmantid and Lord Howe Seamounts and the Louisiade Plateau, sailing from Cairns on 7 August 2019 and arriving in Brisbane on 3 September 2019. The data includes ship sample analyses such as XRF and ICP-MS geochemistry.

Use Cases

• Analyze geochemical composition of seamounts based on XRF and ICP-MS data mentioned in the description
• Study hotspot dynamics and mantle processes based on samples from the Tasmantid and Lord Howe Seamounts
• Map geological features of the Louisiade Plateau based on survey data collected during the voyage

Strengths

• Data is linked to a specific research voyage (IN2019_v04) with known dates (7 Aug - 3 Sep 2019)
• Includes geochemical analysis types explicitly mentioned (XRF and ICP-MS)
• Associated with a specific research grant (NERC NE/S01067X/1)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Post voyage analyses by Australian collaborators are explicitly not included
