Huang Wei; Liu Zhifei; Chen Xiaoliang; Wang Pinxian (2003): Searching for physical indicators of carbonate content in deep-sea sediments. China University of Geoscience, Wuhan, China, Earth Science. Journal of China University of Geoscience, 28 (2), 157-162, georefid:2009-041147

Abstract:
The physical properties of deep-sea sediment cores are useful for efficient calculation of the percentage of carbonate; this method has been successful in low-resolution research rather than in high-resolution research. Multiple regression equations are generated based on a comparison of diffuse reflectance and magnetic susceptibility records from ODP Leg 184; carbonate content was measured in our laboratory. It is found that the percentage of carbonate estimated by diffuse reflectance is closer to the measured one than that estimated by magnetic susceptibility, and the multiple regression equation varies at different sites.
