Raw X-ray absorption spectroscopy data for the South Atlantic TN057-06 and South Pacific PS75/56-1 sediment cores, along with 232Th and Fe flux data by depth for the PS75/56-1 core. The dataset originates from the Shoenfelt et al., 2018 study and is hosted by the SCIOPS organization on NASA's Earthdata platform.
Use Cases
- Analyze sediment composition based on raw X-ray absorption spectroscopy data.
- Study 232Th and Fe flux variations with depth in the South Pacific core.
- Compare geochemical properties between the South Atlantic and South Pacific sediment cores.
- Calibrate or validate geochemical models using the provided elemental flux data.
Strengths
- Includes data from two distinct sediment cores in the South Atlantic and South Pacific.
- Provides both spectroscopic data and specific elemental (232Th and Fe) flux measurements.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
