A report based on thermal conductivity measurements of samples from 53 of the first 80 ocean drilling project legs. The data was collected, shipboard by collecting the core samples, then pushing a transient line source probe through the core into the soft sediments. The temperature-time response of this technique gives a two-dimensional value for a plane perpendicular to the needle axis. Corrections are made ...
An investigation was undertaken to try to gain insight into altered thermal properties of the seafloor near Japan caused by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated Japan and caused the meltdown of the nuclear reactor in Fukushima in 2011. Core samples of rock were drilled by the JFAST project and these samples were analyzed using the transient plane source (TPS) technique to determine thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric heat ...
