Collaborative Project: Chronotratigraphy of the Eureka Sound Group at Strand Fjord, Axel Heiberg Island, NWT, Canada

该奖项支持对来自加拿大北极尤里卡声音群的花粉、巨型花和脊椎动物化石收藏的年龄进行调查。利用磁地层学对埃尔斯米尔岛收集的样品进行测年的尝试最终产生了可靠的记录，但极性序列太短，无法与地磁反转时间尺度（GRTS）建立独特的相关性。该项目将对阿克塞尔海伯格岛3000米厚的共同评估沉积物进行取样，以改进独特的尤里卡海峡群生物地层记录的时间校准

This award supports an investigation of the age of pollen, megafloral and vertebrate fossil collections from the Eureka Sounds Group of the Canadian Arctic. Attempts to date collections from Ellesmere Island using magnetostratigraphy ultimately produced a reliable record but the polarity sequence was too short for a unique correlation to the geomagnetic reversal time scale (GRTS). This project will sample a 3000m thick interval of co-eval sediments from Axel Heiberg Island to improve temporal calibration of the unique Eureka Sound Group biostratigraphic record.//
