Notes: NCR = noncontact resistivity. * = resistivity calculated from power curve relating salinity of NaCl solutions to resistivity (data taken Carmichael, 1982). † = power curve calibration calculated during Leg 204 (see Tréhu, Bohrmann, Rack, Torres, et al., 2003 for a full description of the Leg 204 calibration curve). Resistivity (m) = 261 × (mV × 1000)–1.12.
