The Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) has now completed 18 months of drilling and coring operations in the Indian Ocean. The results of ODP drilling can now be integrated with data from earlier Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) drilling in the region and with new plate tectonic reconstructions. This award will support US participation in such a synthesis project which has recently been funded in Great Britain. The basic objective of this study is to document the sedimentary and biotic response to tectonic, climatic and oceanographic changes which occurred at four critical time intervals in the Cenozoic (middle Eocene, Eocene/Oligocene, middle Miocene, and Miocene/Pliocene). Dr. Davies role in this study is to produce a consistent data base of sediment characteristics for all Indian Ocean sites, preparation of maps of sediment properties during the critical time periods, and to determine sedimentation rates and mass balances for the basins of the Indian Ocean.//

大洋钻探计划（ODP）已经完成了18个月， 在印度洋进行钻探和取芯作业。结果 的ODP钻探现在可以与早期的深海钻探数据相结合 海上钻探项目（DSDP）在该地区进行钻探，并有新的 板块构造重建该奖项将支持我们 参加这样一个综合项目， 在英国资助。本研究的基本目标是 记录了沉积和生物对构造的反应， 气候和海洋变化， 新生代的临界时间间隔（中始新世， 始新世/渐新世、中新世中期和中新世/上新世）。博士 戴维斯在这项研究中的作用是产生一个一致的数据库， 所有印度洋站点的沉积物特性， 关键时期沉积物特性的地图， 并确定沉积速率和质量平衡， 印度洋的一部分//
