Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from the 1971 R/V Kana Keoki expeditions in the Pacific Ocean

DOI

This report presents megascopic descriptions of deep sea sediment cores obtained by the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics on cruises of the R/V Kana Keoki in the eastern and western Pacific Ocean during the year 1971.

From 1983 until 1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions. At the time it was the most extended data compilation on ferromanganese deposits world wide. Initially published in a proprietary format incompatible with present day standards it was jointly decided by AWI and NOAA to transcribe this legacy data into PANGAEA. This transfer is augmented by a careful checking of the original sources when available and the encoding of ancillary information (sample description, method of analysis...) not present in the NOAA-MMS database.
