Whole rock major and trace element analyses of samples recovered during IODP Expedition 398 (Site U1595) in the southern basin of the Santorini caldera, southern Aegean Sea (dataset 2)

Whole rock major and trace element analyses (dataset 2) of samples recovered during IODP Expedition 398 (Site U1595). Site U1595 (proposed Site CSK-08B) is located in the southern basin of the Santorini caldera at 291 meters below sea level (mbsl). It was drilled in three holes (U1595A-U1595C) to a maximum recovery depth of 127.0 meters below seafloor. Whole rock major and some trace element compositions were determined by ICP-OES, following a lithium borate fusion. High-precision trace element analyses were undertaken using ICP-MS, following a lithium borate fusion. LOI (loss on ignition) was measured gravimetrically. All analyses were carried out by Actlabs, Canada. Data analysis was supported by NERC - UK IODP Phase 4 Moratorium Award, NERC Grant NE/X016374/1, Ralf Gertisser.
