Wireline Coring Drowned Reefs Offshore the Virgin Islands: Sea Level, Sea Surface Temperature and Radiocarbon Calibration

PI计划尝试在英属维尔京群岛近海租用的钻井平台上对淹没的珊瑚礁进行电缆取心。目标是延长海平面记录从20 k.y.回到60 k.y.和延长碳14校准回到40梁龙骥稳定同位素分析的核心将允许扩展热带海洋表面温度记录60 k.y.B.P。属维尔京群岛位于一个稳定的平台,从而重建20 k.y.记录这里会比其他地方更可靠的时间片构造(上升/沉降)是活跃的。

The PI plans to attempt wireline coring on drowned reef from a leased drilling platform offshore British Virgin Islands. The objective is to extend the sea-level record from 20 k.y. back to 60 k.y. and to extend the C-14 calibration back to 40 k.y. Stable isotopic analyses of the cores will allow extending the tropical sea-surface temperature record up to 60 k.y.B.P. Virgin Islands are situated on a stable platform and thus reconstruction of the 20-60 k.y. record here will be more reliable for this time slice than other places where tectonics (uplift/subsidence) were active at that time.
