This project involves an integrated transect of boreholes on the U.S. mid-Atlantic region to address the continental margin record of the Oligocene-Recent global sea-level changes. These changes have been controlled by glacioeustatic (ice-volume) variations. Transects of passive continental margins from outcrop to the deep sea are needed to evaluate the timing and amplitude of sea-level variations. The transect requires drilling both onshore and offshore (ODP Leg 150). The Principal Investigators will drill three continuously cored and logged boreholes in the New Jersey coastal plain near Island Beach, Atlantic City, and Cape May, NJ. The project will be a collaborative effort among Rutgers, LDGO/Columbia, and the Eastern Regional Branch of the USGS. The multidisciplinary use of magnetostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, Sr-isotope stratigraphy and oxygen isotope glacioeustatic curves combined with seismic stratigraphy to tie together onshore and offshore wells will provide a comprehensive data set. The geologic record of sea level changes gives factual constraints for developing models of global paleoclimatological change.

该项目涉及美国大西洋中部地区的钻孔综合断面，以解决渐新世-最近全球海平面变化的大陆边缘记录。这些变化是由冰川海平面（冰量）变化控制的。需要对被动大陆边从露头到深海进行断面测量，以评估海平面变化的时间和幅度。该样带需要在陆上和海上钻井（ODP 150航次）。主要调查人员将在大西洋城岛海滩和新泽西州五月角附近的新泽西沿海平原钻探三个连续取芯和测井钻孔。该项目将是罗格斯大学、LDGO/哥伦比亚和美国地质勘探局东部地区分支之间的合作努力。磁性地层学、生物地层学、锶同位素地层学和氧同位素冰川海平面变化曲线结合地震地层学的多学科应用，将陆上和海上威尔斯井联系在一起，将提供一套全面的数据。海平面变化的地质记录为全球古气候变化模型的发展提供了事实上的限制。
