[MIS32-P12] Introduction of a new XRF core scanner and application of marine core science

*Masafumi MURAYAMA1, Takuya MATSUZAKI1, Tomohisa IRINO2, Ryuji TADA3 (1.Center for Advanced Marine Core Research, Kochi University, 2.Faculty of Environmental Earth Science, Hokkaido University, 3.Department of Earth and Planetary Science, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo)

Keywords:XRF core scanner, ITRAX, marine core science

A new XRF core scanner (ITRAX) by COX was introduced to Center for Advanced Marine Core Research, Kochi University last year. ITRAX is an automated core scanning instrument that records optical, radiographic and elemental variations in sediment cores at a high resolution (200 microns) using photography,x-radiography and XRF analysis. Here, we will introduce some examples of application of marine core analysis.
