This dataset contains the data acquired on the 20 m-long core CAS16-04PC (16°42.380’N, 60°36.907’W, 5706 mbsl) sampled with the Calypso piston coring system in the Désirade Basin offshore the Guadeloupe island (Lesser Antilles) during the research cruise (CASEIS)-[https://doi.org/10.17600/16001800] (DOI 10.17600/16001800) on board of the R/V Pourquoi Pas?,  between May 28th to July 05th 2016. The core was divided in twelve 150 cm-thick sections and one 110 cm-thick section. This dataset consists of the raw data measured: 1) on board with the GEOTECK Multi Sensor Core Logger of the Quebec University at Rimouski (on the whole core: P-wave velocity, gamma density, and volumetric magnetic susceptibility; and on the split core:  high resolution photographs, surface magnetic susceptibility and spectrophotocolorimetry); and 2) the X-ray images with the SCOPIX system and the semi-quantitative chemical elementary profiles with an AVAATECH XRF core scanner at UMR EPOC Bordeaux. 35 turbidites has been identified, including 3 thick deposits interpreted as homogenite/turbidite (up to 4 m-thick), intercalated with hemipelagic sediment layers. Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.

This dataset contains the data acquired on the 20 m-long core CAS16-06PC (16°55.836’N, 60°37.135’W, 5585 mbsl) sampled with the Calypso piston coring system in the Caravelle Half Graben offshore the Guadeloupe island (Lesser Antilles) during the research cruise (CASEIS)-[https://doi.org/10.17600/16001800] (DOI 10.17600/16001800) on board of the R/V Pourquoi Pas?,  between May 28th to July 05th 2016. The core was divided in thirteen 150 cm-thick sections. This dataset consists of the raw data measured: 1) on board with the GEOTECK Multi Sensor Core Logger of the Quebec University at Rimouski (on the whole core: P-wave velocity, gamma density, and volumetric magnetic susceptibility; and on the split core:  high resolution photographs, surface magnetic susceptibility and spectrophotocolorimetry); and 2) the X-ray images with the SCOPIX system and the semi-quantitative chemical elementary profiles with an AVAATECH XRF core scanner at UMR EPOC Bordeaux. 39 turbidites has been identified, including 3 thick deposits interpreted as homogenite/turbidite (up to 3 m-thick), intercalated with hemipelagic sediment layers.  Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI.

This dataset contains the data acquired on the 19 m-long core CAS16-07PC (17°18.481’N, 60°59.840’W, 5425 mbsl) sampled with the Calypso piston coring system in the Méduse Basin offshore the Antigua island (Lesser Antilles) during the research cruise (CASEIS)-[https://doi.org/10.17600/16001800] (DOI 10.17600/16001800) on board of the R/V Pourquoi Pas?, between May 28th to July 05th 2016. The core was divided in 12 sections of about 150 cm and 1 section of about 100 cm. This dataset consists of the raw data measured: 1) on board with the GEOTECK Multi Sensor Core Logger of the Quebec University at Rimouski (on the whole core: P-wave velocity, gamma density, and volumetric magnetic susceptibility; and on the split core:  high resolution photographs, surface magnetic susceptibility and spectrophotocolorimetry); and 2) the X-ray images with the GEOTEK X-ray CT and the semi-quantitative chemical elementary profiles with an AVAATECH XRF core scanner at IFREMER. 81 turbidites has been identified intercalated with hemipelagic sediment layers.  Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.

This dataset contains the data acquired on the sedimentary cores collected with the Calypso piston coring system at the same location (17°05.212’N, 60°50.248’W, 5821 mbsl) in the Falmouth Half Graben offshore the Guadeloupe island (Lesser Antilles) during the research cruise (CASEIS)-[https://doi.org/10.17600/16001800] (DOI 10.17600/16001800) on board of the R/V Pourquoi Pas?,  between May 28th to July 05th 2016. Two cores were sampled in this basin the CAS16-03PC and CAS16-14PC cores, which are 9.50 and 26.50 m-long, respectively. This dataset consists of the photo took on the core CAS16-03PC and the raw data measured on the longest core, the core CAS16-14PC: 1) on board with the GEOTECK Multi Sensor Core Logger of the Quebec University at Rimouski (on the whole core: P-wave velocity, gamma density, and volumetric magnetic susceptibility; and on the split core:  high resolution photographs, surface magnetic susceptibility and spectrophotocolorimetry); and 2) the X-ray images with the GEOTEK X-ray CT and the semi-quantitative chemical elementary profiles with an AVAATECH XRF core scanner at IFREMER. The stratigraphy of both cores appears identical. The core CAS16-14PC records 29 turbidites, including 4 thicker sedimentary event (up to 5 m-thick), intercalated with hemipelagic sediment layers. Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.

This dataset was acquired in the framwork of Project V.E.C.T.O.R. (VulnErability of the Italian coastal area and marine Ecosystems to Climatic changes and Their rOle in the Mediterranean caRbon cycles).The project studies the most significant impacts of climate change on the Mediterranean marine environment and the role of this basin on the planetary CO2 cycle.
