Sediment core data from the CIRCEE (2013) and FOCUS-X2 (2022) oceanographic cruises in the Ionian Sea : FX2-CS04, FX2-CS13, FX2-CS14, KCIR-05 and KCIR-09
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: The data presented are from five sediment cores collected during the CIRCEE oceanographic campaign in 2013 and the FOCUS-X2 oceanographic campaign in 2022 in the Ionian Sea (https://doi.org/10.17600/13020060. and https://doi:10.17600/18001255) The sediment cores are named FX2-CS04, FX2-CS13, FX2-CS14, KCIR-05 and KCIR-09. They were collected at water depths ranging from 1818 to 3996 meters and measure between 6 and 22 meters in length. For each core, the data provided are : - photographic images of the cores - XCT images of the cores - MSCL Multi-Sensor Core-Logger physical parameter data including gamma density, and magnetic susceptibility values measured every 1 cm. - The chemical compositions of major elements obtained with the Avaatech XRF core-scanner (Avaatech). Only S, Mn, Zr/Rb ratio and Ca/Ti ratio are available as we used only these selected elements on the publication. The step-size was set at 1 cm and raw intensities were normalized by the number of counts and subsequently standardized at the core scale for each element using the mean and standard deviation of all measurements. These data are used in the following publication in the journal Marine Geology: Hélène Belliard, Antonio Cattaneo, Nathalie Babonneau, Vincent Coussin, Marc-André Gutscher, 2026. Late-glacial marker beds of various origins - megaturbidite, sapropel, tephra - exhibit lateral variability enhanced by tectonics in the Western Ionian Basin (central Mediterranean).
