This award is for support of a two year study to test a preliminary magnetostratigraphic correlation which was developed for Strand Fjord, Axel Heiberg Island, N.W.T., Canada. In addition to extending the section to younger (Eocene) and older (Campaign- Maastrichtian) sediments, an in-depth lithostratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic study will be made of a laminated lagoonal sequence at Strand Fjord. This sequence affords a nearly unique opportunity to obtain a Late Cretaceous polar paleoclimate record of annual variability that also extends into the Milankovitch frequency band.

该奖项用于支持为期两年的研究，以测试为加拿大西北地区阿克塞尔海伯格岛的斯特兰德峡湾开发的初步磁地层相关性。 除了将该部分扩展到较年轻（始新世）和较古老（Campaign-Maastrichtian）沉积物之外，还将对斯特兰德峡湾的层状泻湖序列进行深入的岩石地层学和磁性地层学研究。 该序列提供了几乎独特的机会来获得白垩纪晚期极地古气候年变率记录，该记录也延伸到米兰科维奇频段。
