Laboratory Methods


The laboratories onboard the JOIDES Resolution are listed below, with a link from each to a description of the function of that laboratory. Laboratory methods are described in more detail in a series of "cookbooks" and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). Cookbooks are internal working notebooks maintained by the technicians. The level of detail varies, and in some cases there is repetition and overlap. SOPs consist of lists of specific tasks associated with each measurement or laboratory in the order they had to be accomplished. Some of the cookbooks and SOPs were also edited and published as ODP Technical Reports. The description of each laboratory includes links to the appropriate cookbooks and SOPs.

Under the list of laboratories below there are also links leading directly to consolidated lists of cookbooks, SOPs, and Technical Notes.
