CD-ROM MATERIALS
The CD-ROMs are located in the back of this volume. The "Log and Core Data" CD-ROM contains 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 properties, magnetic susceptibility, P-wave, and natural gamma data of cores collected on board the JOIDES Resolution during Leg 165. The CD-ROM was produced by the Borehole Research Group at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Wireline Logging Operator for ODP. The "Proceedings, Initial Reports" CD-ROM material includes an electronic version of the Leg 165 Initial Reports volume in Adobe Acrobat and ASCII tab-delimited versions of selected tables.
