A Site survey in support of IODP Drilling proposal 626-Full "Cenozoic Pacific Equatorial Age Transect: Following the Palaeo-Equator"

该项目将获得地震数据和活塞芯，以支持IODP提案626，该提案的重点是太平洋古赤道断面所阐明的新生代气候变化。这项研究是与加的夫大学和南安普顿大学的研究人员合作的NERC UK-IODP。拟议的工作重点是通过使用短飘带的标准海洋地震测量来识别钻探地点，将地震反射数据与现有数据相结合，对太平洋大片区域的重要地层界面进行内插，并对数据进行反演，以约束渐新世和中新世过渡期间的赤道太平洋生物成因沉积。更广泛的影响包括促进IODP现场调查项目的国际合作，以及将本科生纳入船上和岸上研究。

This project will acquire seismic data and piston cores to support IODP proposal 626, which focuses on Cenozoic climate change as elucidated by a paleo-Equatorial transect in the Pacific. The research is collaborative with a NERC UK-IODP to researchers at Cardiff University and University of Southampton. The proposed work focuses on the identification of drillsites through standard marine seismic surveying with a short streamer, integration of seismic reflection data with existing data, interpolation of important stratigraphic interfaces over large regions of the Pacific, and inversion of data to constrain equatorial Pacific biogenic sedimentation during the Oligocene and Miocene transitions. Broader impacts include fostering of international collaboration on an IODP site survey project and inclusion of undergraduates in shipboard and shorebased research.
