SUMMARY

The reprocessing of the DSI wireline logs using a phase-picking technique allows for extraction of improved P-wave and S-wave logs from these data. Artifacts in the P-wave log due to mode switching and in the S-wave log due to flexural wave resonance were removed. Dispersion corrections were not required in these low-velocity sediments. The P-wave log shows systematically higher velocity than from core measurements due to porosity rebound. S-wave log velocities as low as 280 m/s were measured using the DSI tool in the interval above 100 mbsf and below 350 mbsf at Site 1173. The reprocessed logs are available directly via the ODP online log database at www.ldeo.columbia.edu/BRG/ODP/DATABASE/index.html. These data should be used in place of the shipboard logs for future research studies.
