The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) is an international marine research collaboration that explores Earth's history and dynamics using ocean-going research platforms to recover data recorded in seafloor sediments and rocks and to monitor subseafloor environments. IODP depends on facilities funded by three platform providers with financial contributions from five additional partner agencies. Together, these entities represent 26 nations whose scientists are selected to staff IODP research expeditions conducted throughout the world's oceans. IODP expeditions are developed from hypothesis-driven science proposals aligned with the program's science plan Illuminating Earth's Past, Present, and Future. The science plan identifies 14 challenge questions in the four areas of climate change, deep life, planetary dynamics, and geohazards. Until 2013 under the name: International Ocean Drilling Program.
Sediment cores PC02, PC03, and PC04 were recovered during the ship expedition MR16-09 Leg 2 of Japanese RV Mirai in 2017 (Murata et al., 2017) using piston corers. For paleo- and rock magnetic analyses clear plastic boxes with a volume of 7 cm3 were pressed into the split halves of the generally 1 m long sections of the sediment cores. X-ray fluoresence (XRF) scans were performed with an Itrax XRF Corescanner (Cox Analytical systems) at Kochi Core Center, Japan (Hagemann et al. 2024). The downcore resolution was set to 5 mm, and the scans were performed with a Mo X-ray tube at 30 kV and 55 mA for a measurement time of 15 s. The Itrax X-ray beam was set to 0.2 mm × 20 mm. Measurements of low-field magnetic susceptibility (klf same as: k-bulk) and its anisotropy (AMS) were performed with an AGICO MFK1-A susceptibility meter. The principal AMS axes Kmax, Kint, and Kmin, the three axes of the anisotropy ellipsoid, were used to calculate the degree of anisotropy, as well as the shape factor of anisotropy. The frequency dependency of magnetic susceptibility was determined with an automated MAGNON Variable Field Susceptibility Meter (VFSM) by measuring magnetic susceptibility at different frequencies with logarithmically equidistant steps at a field amplitude of 250 µT. Susceptibilities of core PC02 samples were measured at 7 frequencies F from 375 Hz to 4775 Hz. Samples from cores PC03 and PC04 were measured at 5 frequencies from 475 to 4775 Hz. The frequency dependency Dk/Dlog(F) then was determined by linear regression of susceptibility k versus the decadal logarithm of frequency F. Values are given as decay rate in percent over one frequency decade (% / decade (F)) relative to the measurement at the lowest frequency. Thus, values obtained are negative. Measurements of the natural remanent magnetization (NRM) and of the anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM) were performed with a 2G 755 SRM long-core cryogenic magnetometer. ARMs were produced with a 2G660 single-axis alternating field (AF) demagnetizer using 100 mT alternating field and 50 µT static field. NRMs and ARMs both were stepwise demagnetized with the in-line 3-axes AF demagnetizer of the cryogenic magnetometer. AF steps for NRM: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 65, 80, 100 mT. AF steps for ARM: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 65, 80 mT. Iso-thermal remanent magnetizations (IRM) were imparted with a 2G 660 pulse magnetizer using 1500 mT for producing a saturation magnetization (SIRM) and -200 mT for remagnetization of the low-coercive fraction. Measurements were performed with a Molyneux spinner magnetometer. Data records were turned into time series by applying the age model for PC03 (Hagemann et al., 2024), correlating PC02 to PC03, and correlating PC04 to PC03 (back to 140 ka) and further using the PISO1500 paleointensity stack (Channell et al., 2009), paleomagnetic data from the Black Sea (Liu et al., 2020, Nowaczyk et al., 2021), and paleoclimatic data from Antarctica (Jouzel et al., 2007; Bazin et al., 2013) for reference for older core sections.
This dataset includes both original and previously published paleomagnetic data. The new data refer to a marine sediment sequence (ANTA02-AV43 core) collected in the in Wood Bay, located along the coast of Victoria Land, within the western Ross Sea (Antarctica) and spanning the last ca. 10 ka. The formerly published paleomagnetic data from coeval sediment cores refer to the from the RS15‐GC57 core of Truax et al. (2025) collected in the adjacent Robertson Bay, and from the PC18 and PC19 cores of Macrì et al. (2005), recovered from the continental rise of the Wilkes Land basin offshore the coast of East Antarctica. The data from these two latter cores were relocated to the location of the ANTA02-AV43 core with the Noel and Batt (1990) method. The estimated age of the formerly published dataset has been re-evaluated after correlation of paleomagnetic trends with the ANTA02-AV43 core and prediction of geomagnetic variation at the ANTA02-AV43 site according to the CALS10k.2 model of Constable et al. (2016). We then combined the new ANTA02-AV43 dataset with existing Holocene records from sediment cores of comparable resolution (PC18 and PC19) to develop the paleomagnetic “HOLOANTA” stack. This composite record averages paleomagnetic data over the last 10,000 years in 200-year intervals. It includes relative paleointensity (RPI) as well as paleomagnetic inclination and declination data, providing a robust regional Holocene RPI curve alongside directional secular variation (PSV) trends.
The Nam Co Drilling Project (NamCore) aims to retrieve and interpret one of the longest sedimentary records of past climate and environmental changes from the Earth’s “third pole” - the Tibetan Plateau. As a result of vast glacial systems, permafrost, and large lakes, the Tibetan Plateau contributes to the “Asian Water Tower” and feeds river systems (e.g. Brahmaputra, Yangtze) that supply water to almost 2 billion people downstream. By recovering long, continuous sediment sequences from Nam Co, one of the largest and deepest lakes on the plateau, NamCore will help to elucidate how the Asian Monsoon system(s) and the Westerlies responded to changing climate boundary conditions in the past, thereby improving our understanding of future climate change scenarios with socio-economic relevance. Site survey seismic data indicate the presence of more than 700 m of well-layered, undisturbed sediments in the lake depocentre, confirming Nam Co as an ideal natural archive located near the northern boundary of the modern monsoon regime. Scientific drilling operations at Nam Co were carried out in June and July 2024 and, in total, the project drilled 1415.45 m, cored 1175.99 m of sediments and recovered 950.77 m of sediment cores, while reaching a maximum depth of 510.2 m below the lake floor. All datasets provided within the operational dataset (Adolph et al., 202x?) of the ICDP project NamCore (ICDP 5073) include metadata, data and/or images. This document summarizes the explanations of the tables, datasets and images exported from the project database (mDIS NamCore), supplemented by additional information derived from field and laboratory measurements conducted prior to the sampling parties. Furthermore, sampling data from the first three sampling parties are included, and basic definitions of identifiers used within ICDP are introduced.
Sediment cores were recovered during the ship expedition of German RV Polarstern in 2016 (PS97) using piston corers. For paleo- and rock magnetic analyses clear plastic boxes of 20×20×15 mm were pressed into the split halves of the generally 1 m long sections of the sediment cores. In order to determine the direction of the characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM), demagnetization results of the NRM were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) according to Kirschvink (1980). The PCA also provided the maximum angular deviation (MAD) as a measure of the precision of the determined ChRM direction. ChRM declinations obtained by PCA were rotated around a vertical axis until the declinations of all samples falling into a circular window of 35° around the direction expected from a geocentric axial dipole (-72.9°) yielded a mean of 0°. ChRM data from core PS97-085-1 (-85-3) were tentatively tilted by +17° (-7°) around the EW axis in order to parallel the maximum in the inclination distribution with the inclination of a geocentric axial dipole field. The anhysteretic susceptibility K(ARM) is defined as the ARM intensity normalised by the static field used for producing the ARM. The anhysteretic susceptibility normalised by the low field bulk susceptibility K(ARM)/klf then is a magnetic grain size proxy with low (high) ratios indicating relatively large (small) magnetite particles. In order to discriminate samples being dominated by low-coercive minerals (magnetite, Fe3O4 and greigite, Fe3S4) from samples being dominated by high-coercive minerals (mostly hematite, Fe2O3), the S-ratio was calculated using S=0.5×(1-[IRM(-200 mT)/SIRM(1500 mT)]). S-ratios range from 0 to 1, with: dominance of magnetite/greigite: 0<<S≤1, and dominance of hematite: 0≤S<<1. As another grain size proxy the ARM intensity was normalised by the SIRM: (1000×ARM/SIRM) with low (high) ratios indicating relatively large (small) magnetite particles. The factor of 1000 is introduced in order to avoid small numbers. Relative paleointensity variations were estimated by three different proxies: slope of NRM vs. ARM of common demagnetization steps (slope(NRM/ARM)), NRM intensity demagnetized with 30 mT normalized with bulk susceptibility klf (pjk(30mT)), and NRM intensity demagnetized with 30 mT normalized with saturation magnetization SIRM (pjs(30mT)). Data records were turned into time series by correlation to dated reference records from Antarctica (Wu et al., 2021) and the Black Sea (Liu et al., 2021).
This data publication includes standard rock magnetic data related to concentration, coercivity and magneto-mineralogy versus depth from twelve sediment cores recovered from the Arkhangelsky Ridge in the Southeastern Black Sea, German RV Maria S. Merian expedition MSM33 in 2013: MSM33-51-3, MSM33-52-1, MSM33-53-1, MSM33-54-3, MSM33-55-1, MSM33-56-1, MSM33-57-1, MSM33-60-1, MSM33-61-1, MSM33-62-2, MSM33-63-1, MSM33-64-1. The data are related to publications by Liu et al. (2018, 2019, 2020), Liu (2019) and Nowaczyk et al. (2012, 2013, 2018, 2021a, b). Sediment cores were recovered using gravitiy and piston corers. For paleo- and rock magnetic analyses clear plastic boxes of 20×20×15 mm were pressed into the split halves of the generally 1 m long sections of the sediment cores. Data are provided as 12 ASCII files (.dat, one for each core) with metadata header and are decribed in the associated data description file (pdf).
This dataset includes paleomagnetic data from 70 sampling sites, collected in northeastern Iran during two campaigns carried out in August 2016 and September 2017 (Table 1). The data are supplement to Mattei et al. (2019). Data allow to reconstruct the rotation history of the outer margin of the Eurasia-Arabia collision area represented by the Ala-Dagh, Binalud and Kopeh-Dagh mountain belts. The sampled formations are red beds units from the Lower Cretaceous Shurijeh Fm. and from the Middle-Upper Miocene Upper Red Fm (URF). Paleomagnetic results from all the sampled areas show a homogeneous amount of clockwise (CW) rotations measured in the above-mentioned Formations. These paleomagnetic results suggest that the oroclinal bending process that caused the curvature of Alborz mountain belt in north Iran after the Middle-Late Miocene, also extended to the Ala-Dagh, Binalud and Kopeh-Dagh mountain belts, at the north-eastern border of the Arabia-Eurasia deforming zone. This pattern of vertical axis rotations is inconsistent with the present-day kinematics of the northern Iranian blocks as described by seismicity and GPS data, suggesting that the tectonic processes responsible for the bending of northern Iran mountain chains are no longer active and that the westward motion of the South Caspian basin, and therefore the initiation of opposite strike-slip motion along the Ashk-Abad and Shahrud faults, occurred very recently (∼2My ago).
This dataset includes paleomagnetic data from 19 sampling sites, collected in central Iran during two sampling campaigns carried out in April 2011 (Yazd) and November 2011 (Ferdows). The data are supplement to Mattei et al. (2020). The sites were collected along two tectonic structures representative of the main tectonic features of central Iran: the Yazd fold system located in an area dominated by the occurrence of NNW-SSE oriented right-lateral strike slip faults, and the Ferdows fold system that developed at the western termination of the E–W left-lateral strike-slip Dasht-e-Bayaz fault. Paleomagnetic results show opposite vertical-axis rotations related to the different orientation and sense of movement of strike-slip fault systems, suggesting that in Central Iran the N–S oriented right-lateral and E–W oriented left-lateral strike-slip faults play significant roles in accommodating the Arabia-Eurasia convergence, by rotating counterclockwise and clockwise in the horizontal plane, respectively.
This dataset is built from data published in two different articles (Rodríguez-Pintó et al. 2012 and 2016). The main scientific goal described in the articles is the quantification of vertical axis rotations (VAR) around the bended axis of the Balzes anticline in the South Pyrenean frontal thrust (External Sierras). 74 sites and one short magnetostratigraphic section were sampled following standard paleomagnetic field procedures; in total 984 oriented cores were drilled in the field. Paleomagnetic sites are evenly distributed along strike changes of the fold and were drilled in Eozene rock of the Ypresian (Cuisian), Lutetian and Bartonian rocks. Lithologies and affinity may vary; some rocks are marine limestones and marls (Boltaña, Paules and Guara Formations), others (sandy limestones and marls) represent transitional environments (Belsué-Atarés Formation) while the remaining are continental siltstones and sandstones from the Campodarbe Formation. Every site contains an average out of 9.6 standard cores (stand. dev. 5.8) but varies between 3 and 35. For the small magnetostratigraphic section 65 cores were sampled. Thermal demagnetization was the main laboratory analysis performed searching for VAR values at the site scale. The analyses were performed in the laboratories of the Universities of Barcelona and Burgos. 2G magnetometer were used to measure the magnetization in both laboratories and MMTD80 (Magnetic Measurements) and TD-48 SC (ASC Scientific) furnaces, respectively.
This dataset includes paleomagnetic and rock magnetic analyses from four sediment cores collected on continental slope of Storfjorden (EG-02, EG-03, SV-04) and Kveithola (GeoB17603-3) trough‐mouth fans and two cores collected at the crest of the Bellsund (GS191-01PC) and Isfjorden (GS191-02PC) sediment drifts (NW Barents Sea). The dataset gave the opportunity to reconstruct variation of past geomagnetic field at high latitude for the last 22 kya and define the path of the virtual geomagnetic pole (VGP). Data are presented as two metadata table: one with definitions of the column heads and one with the core details; six tables with the data on the measured rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters and 3 tables with the results of data analyses and elaboration. In order to define high-resolution correlation between the cores the along-core variation of rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters (Sagnotti et al., 2011; Caricchi et al., 2018; Caricchi et al., 2019) have been integrated with the distribution of characteristic lithofacies (Lucchi et al., 2013), and the available age constraints (Sagnotti et al., 2011; Caricchi et al., 2018, Caricchi et al., 2019; Caricchi et al., 2020). Core to core correlation has been reconstructed by means of the StratFit software (Sagnotti and Caricchi, 2018), which is based on the Excel forecast function and linear regression between subsequent couples of selected tie-points. The data are presented as one Excel sheet with eleven tables and in tab-delimited ASCII format in the zip folder: 2022-028_Caricchi-et-al_data-txt.zip.
