Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from seventh cruise of the Carnegie (1928-1929)

The Carnegie, on its seventh cruise and last cruise, collected seventy-five samples of deep-sea deposits in the southeastern and the north Pacific. This report contains an account of the general character of the deep-sea samples collected and of the distribution of the various deposit types, together with the results of chemical, mechanical, X-ray, and other types of analyses. As indicated in the text, many of the analyses were carried out in whole or in part by other investigators.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn and phosphate deposits from GOS74 Expedition stations

The purpose of the cruise was to map the manganese rich pavements of the Blake Plateau area which had been extensively investigated by ships of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution since 1956. From August until September 1965, 112 sites were sampled from R/V Gosnold on a joint USGS-WHOI expedition. At most of the stations on the Blake pavement, large slabs of manganese were recovered along with phosphate rich nodules.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from R/V Robert Conrad Cruise 05 stations

The cores described in this report were taken during the R/V Robert Conrad Cruise 05 from March until April 1963 by the Lamont Geological Observatory, Columbia University. A total of 13 cores were recovered and are available at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory for sampling and study.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from ARGO-3-65 Expedition stations

The cores described in this report were taken on the ARGO-3-65 Expedition from 8 March until 31 March 1965 by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography from the R/V Argo. A total of 40 cores were recovered and are available at Scripps for sampling and study.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from R/V Robert Conrad Cruise 02 stations

The cores described in this report were taken during the R/V Robert Conrad Cruise 02 from 26 until 28 January 1963 by the Lamont Geological Observatory, Columbia University. A total of 5 cores were recovered and are available at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory for sampling and study.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn and phosphate deposits from GYRE 82-11 Expedition stations

The purpose of the expedition was to test new techniques to determine thickness, distribution and quality of mineral deposits on the Blake Plateau with special reference to manganese nodules and manganese-phosphate pavements.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from R.R.S. "Discovery" Cruise 2 stations

This report gives a comprehensive general description of the scientific activities of Cruise 2 of R. R. S. 'Discovery'. These were largely geological and geophysical and were part of the British contribution to the International Indian Ocean Expedition. In addition to the thirteen geophysicists and geologists on board, there were five scientists involved in ocean chemistry, temperature measurements and ornithology making continuous observations - their accounts are also included. The report of a geological expediton ashore in the Seychelles is given in section 6.
