| Summary: | The GIK-Archive of radiographs is a collection of X-ray negative
and photographic images of sediment cores based on exposures taken since the
early 1960s. During four decades of marine geological work at the University
of Kiel, Germany, several thousand hours of sampling, careful preparation and
X-raying were spent on producing a unique archive of sediment radiographs
from several parts of the World Ocean. The archive consists of more than
18 500 exposures on chemical film that were digitized, geo-referenced,
supplemented with metadata and archived in the data library
PANGAEA<span style="position:relative; bottom:0.5em; " class="text">®</span>. With this publication, the images
have become available open-access for use by the scientific community at
