Abstract

The western South Atlantic Ocean has not been drilled since the end of the Deep Sea Drilling Program, leading to a dearth of sedimentary sequences available from this sector of the Atlantic Ocean. In 2020–2022, a transect of new sites was drilled during International Ocean Discovery Program Expeditions 390C, 395E, 390, and 393 at 31°S and spanning from 28.8°W to 15.2°W. Here, we use X-ray fluorescence data, combined with shipboard magnetic susceptibility and natural gamma radiation, to characterize the sediments below the oligotrophic South Atlantic Gyre at Site U1583. These geochemical data add to the otherwise understudied southwest Atlantic Ocean.
