This portion of the data release presents linescan images (photographs) from push cores and gravity core sections collected from the Escanaba Trough vent field, Gorda Ridge, in the northeast Pacific Ocean. These data were collected in 2022 (USGS Field Activity 2022-621-FA). Images were obtained from 18 gravity core sections and 39 push cores at 50-micron (200 pixel per cm) resolution. Color images in 16-bit TIFF format are provided for each core segment, along with proprietary metadata files containing image scaling information. Push core images contain an additional TIFF image with a centimeter scale ruler (denoted with _R in filename).
