Grain Size data from a selection of tephra occurrences drilled at IODP Sites 350-U1436 and 350-U1437. (NERC grant NE/M005240/1)
120 samples of 57 tephra layers identified at IODP Expedition 350 sites (U1436 and U1437) were used in grain size analysis. Some layers have one grain size measurement, others have multiple measurements throughout the tephra layer.

Site 350-U1437 is located at 31°47.391′N, 139°01.579′E; 2116.1 m water depth in the Izu rear arc, ~330 km west of the axis of the Izu-Bonin Trench and ~90 km west of the arc-front volcanoes Myojinsho and Myojin Knoll at 2117 mbsl. Site 350-U1436 is located at 32°23.883′N, 140°21.928′E; (1776 m water depth), in the western half of the Izu-Bonin fore-arc basin, ~60 km east of the arc-front volcano Aogashima and ~170 km west of the axis of the Izu-Bonin Trench.

Samples were dried, then set in epoxy in a thin walled sample ring, polished and carbon coated. Two sessions of analysis took place using the JEOL JXA8530F Hyperprobe, with analyses on 13/10/2014 using a focused beam with no TDI. Analyses on 13/11/2014 used a 4 micron beam with TDI counting for 10 intervals over time period, see third tab in Excel file for beam setup. Approximately 10-15 glass shards were analysed per sample. Data were filtered to remove results that were obviously not glass.
