Mineral and glass geochemical analyses of samples recovered during IODP Expedition 398 (Site U1595) in the southern basin of the Santorini caldera, southern Aegean Sea

Mineral and glass geochemical analyses (spot analyses) of samples recovered during IODP Expedition 398 (Site U1595). Site U1595 (proposed Site CSK-08B) is located in the southern basin of the Santorini caldera at 291 meters below sea level (mbsl). It was drilled in three holes (U1595A-U1595C) to a maximum recovery depth of 127.0 meters below seafloor.

Some data files also contain SEM-BSE images of volcanic ash particles.

Abbreviations used: n.d. = not determined; b.d. = below detection. Detection limits for volatiles in glass: Cl = 57 ppm, F = 140 ppm, S = 56 ppm

Mineral and glass geochemical compositions were determined by electron probe micro-analysis, using facilities at the Natural History Museum London and at the University of Leeds. SEM-BSE images were generated at Keele University.

Data analysis was supported by NERC - UK IODP Phase 4 Moratorium Award, NERC Grant NE/X016374/1, Ralf Gertisser.
