This award is for one year of additional funding to complete a MARGINS Source-to-Sink investigation of the subaqueous clinoform in the Gulf of Papua (GoP). Due to fortunate circumstances they acquired more than 6800 km of high-resolution seismic data (2300 km of surface-towed Edgetech and 4500 km of hull-mounted Knudsen) and 46 piston and gravity cores for a total cumulative core length of 432 m. This third year of funding will be used to complete the analysis of the data, numerical modeling, and synthesis. Additional radiometric ages, seismic mapping of specific lenses, numerical modeling of ocean circulation at a lower sea level, and identification of sediment sources through geochemical and petrographic analysis will allow the PIs to test the hypotheses developed during the first two years of funding.The broader impacts include the participation of graduate students and the outreach activities carried out in Papua New Guinea and the Scripps Aquarium.

该奖项是为完成巴布亚湾（GoP）水下斜坡的MARGINS源到汇调查提供的一年额外资金。幸运的是，他们获得了超过6800公里的高分辨率地震数据（2300公里的地面拖曳Edgetech和4500公里的船体安装Knudsen）和46个活塞和重力岩心，总累积岩心长度为432米。第三年的资金将用于完成数据分析，数值建模和综合。额外的放射性年龄、特定透镜的地震测绘、较低海平面海洋环流的数值模拟以及通过地球化学和岩相学分析确定沉积物来源，将使项目研究员能够检验在最初两年资助期间提出的假设，更广泛的影响包括研究生的参与以及在巴布亚新几内亚和斯克里普斯水族馆开展的外联活动。
