Funds are provided for the PIs to study the Upper Cretaceous to Lower Paleogene and Quaternary unconformities and stratal patterns on the New York and New Jersey margins. Two separate but fundamental questions to stratigraphy of the margins are to be addresed: how sequence boundaries and stratigraphic discontinuities formed during times of reduced sealevel fluctuations, and why the Quaternary section does not have unconformities associated with each sealevel cycle. The PIs plan to acquire side-scan sonar images, Chirp images (for subseafloor shallow features), MCS images and vinracores from this area. They will also use ODP site 1073 for chronology. These data will provide a high-resolution physical stratigraphy and precise chronology leading to understanding of eustatic vs. other factors in building sequences.

为PI提供资金，用于研究纽约和新泽西州边缘的上白垩纪至下古纪和第四纪不整合和层次模式。 要增加边缘地层的两个单独但基本的问题：在较低的海平面波动时期形成的序列边界和地层不连续性，以及为什么第四纪部分与每个海平面周期没有不符合性。 PIS计划从该区域获取侧面扫描声纳图像，Chirp图像（用于子层状浅特征），MCS图像和Vinracores。 他们还将使用ODP站点1073进行年表。 这些数据将提供高分辨率的物理地层学和精确的年表，从而使人们了解构建序列中的Eustatic和其他因素。
