        <procdesc>Core JRBP2018-VC01B was collected on October 29, 2018. A handheld global satellite navigation system (GNSS) receiver was used to determine the locations of sediment sample. The core was segmented into 150 cm (or shorter) sections in the field. Scans of 7 unsplit core segments were obtained on a Geotek Multisensor Core Logger (MSCL) at 1-centimeter downcore intervals using a Cesium-137 gamma-ray source and gamma detector that measure gamma-ray attenuation through the core. The reference core thickness was 7.37 cm. Data are reported at the top of the sampling intervals. Density measurements were calibrated using an aluminum calibration piece mounted inside a water-filled aluminum core liner with an inside with an inside diameter of 7.37 centimeters. Gamma-ray bulk density calibration parameters were A=-0.0002 and B=-0.0577. Gamma-ray density measurements below 0.1 grams per cubic centimeter or missing data values were the result of poor contact with the core sample or air voids at the logging location. Anomalous values for gamma-ray bulk density were not excluded from the data.</procdesc>
