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

该奖项支持对加拿大北极Eureka Sound Group收集的花粉、巨型植物和脊椎动物化石的年龄进行调查。使用磁性地层学对埃尔斯米尔岛的收藏品进行年代测定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)进行独特的关联。该项目将从阿克塞尔海贝格岛采集3000米厚的同时代沉积物样本，以改进独特的尤里卡海湾组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.//
