Abstract

Abstract. X-ray computed tomography (XCT) scanning is routinely conducted on board the drilling vessel Chikyu for scientific expeditions. A rapid visualization method, developed during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 405, unwraps XCT images to enable the early characterization of sediment heterogeneities and identification of geological structures at the visual core description stage.
