Table T4. General scheme for subsampling multicores.
MUC | Code | Analysis/Use | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
1 | CULT | Cultivation | Section and distribute for cultivation studies. |
2 | EXP | Experimental N, S, H | Section and slurry for 15N, 35S, and 3H experiments. |
3 | DCC | Direct cell counts: AODC/FISH | Section and distribute for cell counting, CARD-FISH others, H2 sample. |
4 | MOL | Molecular work | Section and freeze at –80°C for molecular work. |
5 | IW | Interstitial water chemistry | Section for three or more interstitial water depths. |
6 | SPC/O2 | Solid-phase chemistry and O2 distributions | Run electrode profiler for surface O2 concentration and subcore surface for fine-scale geochemistry. |
7 | LPP | Lithology, physical properties | Extrude into split sleeve. Deliver to multisensor track and then to Geology. |
8 | ARC | Archive | Section surface and three depths; freeze at –80°C. |
OW | Overlying water | Deep water overlying the surface sediment from individual cores or pooled from several cores. |
MUC = multicore sample. AODC = acridine orange direct count, CARD-FISH = catalyzed reporter deposition–fluorescence in situ hybridization.
