Ancillary calibration information for sediment physical properties data from the Papua New Guinea MARGINS Focus Site acquired during the Melville expedition VANC20MV (2004)

This data set was during Melville expedition VANC20MV conducted in 2004 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Nittrouer). The data files are in Text File (ASCII) format and were acquired as part of the projects: Processes Controlling Depositional Signals of Environmental Change in the Fly River Sediment Dispersal System: Mechanisms and Rates of Shelf Clinoform Development; Biogeochemical Cycling and Authigenic Mineral Formation in Suboxic Tropical Mobile Mud Belts; and, Dispersion, Cycling and Burial of Organic Carbon in a River-Dominated Margin: The Fly River/Gulf of Papua Shelf. Funding was provided by NSF grants: OCE02-03351, OCE02-19919, and OCE02-20600. This data was cited by Crockett et al., 2008 and Crockett et al., 2005.
