Description
Shore-based X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), IODP Expedition 395 Bjorn Drift Site U1554
Sediment core sections from Site U1554 were XRF scanned using the Generation 4 Avaatech core scanner (XRF2) at the Texas A&M University IODP Gulf Coast Repository (GCR) in College Station, TX, USA. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a rapid, non-destructive technique for determining qualitative and quantitative changes in chemical composition. Spots are typically irradiated under multiple conditions to excite and measure a wide range of elements. The peak intensity changes (we do not provide concentrations) are then used to help recognize and define major chemo-stratigraphic units without the need for destructive sampling.
