CD-ROM
Leg 164 Materials
There are two CD-ROMs in the back of this volume. One is a "data-only" CD-ROM containing depth-shifted and processed logging data provided by the Borehole Research Group at the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. This CD-ROM also contains shipboard GRAPE (gamma-ray attenuation porosity evaluator), index property, magnetic susceptibility, and natural gamma data of cores collected on board the JOIDES Resolution during Leg 164. CD-ROM production was carried out by the Borehole Research Group at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Wireline Logging Operator for ODP. The second CD-ROM contains an electronic version of the Leg 164 Initial Reports volume in Adobe Acrobat, tab delimited ASCII files of all the tables from the volume, and vane shear and index properties data for Sites 991 through 997.
