The PIs will analyze recently collected NSF funded cores from the shelf and slope of Waipaoa River which is a Source-to-Sink focus site as a part of the MARGINS program. These long cores cover a interval up to the last glacial maximum and their detailed study will lead to an understanding of the late Quaternary history of this system. The PIs will establish an age model, document sediment properties and study climatic proxies to identify dramatic geological, climatic and anthropogenic changes affecting the input to this margin. It will also lead to the understanding of the evolution of the shelf basin since the LGM and the interplay between sediment input, tectonics and sediment bypassing to the slope and basin.The project will support a female Ph.D. student at VIMS and will involve New Zealand students as well. It has a strong international cooperation component, with collaboration with French and NZ scientist involved at the Waipaoa focus site.

pi将分析最近从Waipaoa河的大陆架和斜坡上收集的NSF资助的岩心，Waipaoa河是一个从源头到汇的重点地点，是边际项目的一部分。这些长岩心覆盖的时间一直到末次盛冰期，对它们的详细研究将有助于了解该系统的晚第四纪历史。pi将建立一个年龄模型，记录沉积物特性，研究气候代用物，以确定影响这一边缘输入的剧烈地质、气候和人为变化。这也将有助于理解陆架盆地自LGM以来的演变，以及沉积物输入、构造和沉积物绕道斜坡和盆地之间的相互作用。该项目将支持VIMS的一名女博士生，新西兰学生也将参与其中。它有一个强有力的国际合作组成部分，与参与怀帕阿焦点地点的法国和新西兰科学家合作。
