The GIK-Archive of sediment radiography

The GIK-Archive of radiographs is a collection of X-ray negative images from sediment cores, prepared and exposed since the early 1960s. During four decades of marine geological work at the University of Kiel, Germany (Werner, 1998), a thousand hours of sampling, careful preparation and x-raying were spent to produce a unique archive of sediment radiographs. The archive consists of more than 18500 exposures on chemical film that were digitized, geo-referenced, supplemented with metadata and archived in the data library PANGAEA.

GIK射线影像档案库（GIK-Archive of radiographs）是一套源自沉积物岩芯的X射线负片图像合集，自20世纪60年代初起开始制备与成像。依托德国基尔大学四十余年的海洋地质研究工作（Werner, 1998），研究团队累计投入千余小时开展采样、精细前处理与X射线拍摄，最终建成这套独一无二的沉积物射线影像档案库。该档案库包含18500余张化学胶片X射线底片，所有素材均已完成数字化、地理配准，并补充了元数据，最终归档于PANGAEA数据库。
