Total organic carbon (TOC) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) concentrations were determined for 304 samples, and biomarkers were analyzed for 101 samples from Core 167-1016C-1H. TOC varies between 1% and 2%, and CaCO3 is typically 1%– 4%, with peaks reaching 14%. Paleotemperature estimated from varies from 8.5° to 17.5°C. The variation implies that Core 167-1016C-1H covers oxygen isotope Stages 1–6. Peaks of diatom-derived C25:1 HBI alkene concentrations occur during warming intervals, suggesting intensified upwelling during deglaciation. The concentrations of haptophyte-derived alkenones and diatom-derived C25:1 HBI alkene vary out of phase, which presumably resulted from the changes in the mode of nutrient supply to surface mixed layer. Maximal CaCO3 contents (>10%) were observed in both warming and cooling intervals. The peak in cooling interval relates to an alkenone maximum, whereas the peaks in warming intervals do not. This implies that carbonate production is not the only factor controlling carbonate compensation depth at this site, and it suggests considering the changes in North Pacific deep-water chemistry. Petroleum-type compounds are present in Site 1016 sediments. Their concentrations are maximized in the warming intervals that correspond to the timing of destruction of a huge tar mound off Point Conception. The tarry material was presumably transported by the Arguello Fan system to Site 1016. U k ́ 37 U k ́ 37 1Lyle, M., Koizumi, I., Richter, C., and Moore, T.C., Jr. (Eds.), 2000. Proc. ODP, Sci.

INTRODUCTION Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1016 (34°32′N, 122°17′W) is located about 150 km west of Point Conception, California, on an abyssal hill in water 3835 m deep (Fig. 1). Although the Monterey Fan and the Arguello Fan extend to the north and south, respectively, of this abyssal hill (Chase et al., 1981), this site is covered with hemipelagic sediments. The core of southward flow of the California Current is located near this site (Hickey, 1979; Lynn and Simpson, 1987). The site is, therefore, suitable for reconstructing sea-surface temperature (SST) of the California Current and the intensity of its associated upwelling. The SST of the California Current is the result of mixing the West Wind Drift subarctic water and the North Pacific Current subtropical water (Hickey, 1979), and it is possibly sensitive to climate changes in the North Pacific Ocean and the surrounding areas. The coastal upwelling is induced by northerly winds along the California margin (Huyer, 1983), and the changes in its intensity affect primary productivity and the ecosystem (e.g., Parsons et al., 1984; Roemmich and McGown, 1995). Thus the assessments of paleo-seasurface temperature (paleo-SST), primary productivity, and the marine ecosystem provide a clue to understanding the responses of the California Current system to Quaternary climate changes. Many investigations have been conducted on the paleoenvironmental changes along the California margin, and most of them focused on the changes during the last 30,000 yr. ODP Site 893 provided 197-m-long core of sediments from the Santa Barbara Basin for high-resolution late Quaternary paleoenvironmental studies (Shorebased Scientific Party, 1994). During Leg 167, we drilled Sites 1016 (3846 m water depth) and 1017 (967 m water depth) at the open40° N
