CD-ROM Materials

The CD-ROM in the back of this volume is a "data-only" CD-ROM containing both depth-shifted and processed logging data provided by the Borehole Research Group at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory as well as shipboard GRAPE (Gamma Ray Attenuation Porosity Evaluation), Index Property, Magnetic Susceptibility, P-wave, and Natural Gamma data from cores collected on board the JOIDES Resolution during Leg 161. The CD also contains detailed coring summary tables, structural geology tables, and text tables from Chapters 4-9. The CD-ROM was produced by the Borehole Research Group at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Wireline Logging Operator for ODP.
