Abstract

We completed 151 radiographs and 12 X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans from whole cores taken during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 308. In Brazos-Trinity Basin IV, 29 radiographs and 1 X-ray CT scan were taken at Sites U1319 and U1320. In Ursa Basin, 122 radiographs and 11 X-ray CT scans were taken at Sites U1322 and U1324. These radiographs and X-ray CT scans were completed to select undisturbed portions of the core for experiments and to qualitatively assess the presence of inclusions and variation in the whole-core soil samples from the expedition. The imaging was performed at three locations: Pennsylvania State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Rice University.
