This study will conduct paleomagnetic analyses of equatorial Pacific sediment cores spanning the Eocene through the Pleistocene collected during IODP expeditions 320 and 321. Using high resolution U-channel measurements, this project will produce a high resolution magnetostratigraphic record that could serve as a very important chronostratigraphic tool. The project will address five objectives: 1) refine the shipboard magnetostratigraphies, 2) generate continuous geomagnetic intensity and directional paleosecular variation records, 3) generate environmental magnetic records, 4) improve the Cenezoic geologic timescale, and 5) improve our understanding of the Pacific apparent polar wander.Broader impacts: The project would support undergraduate and/or graduate students at the universities of all four PIs. The project also effectively capitalizes on a large investment previously made in an IODP expedition and further enhances the collaborations and exchange of information between several international members of the expedition and the IODP community. By developing such an important chronological tool that helps refine the geologic timescale and improves the geomagnetic intensity record, the project significantly impacts the earth sciences.

本研究将对赤道太平洋沉积物岩心进行古地磁分析，这些岩心从始新世一直到更新世，是IODP考察320和321期间收集的。通过高分辨率u通道测量，该项目将产生高分辨率磁地层记录，可作为非常重要的年代地层工具。该项目将实现五个目标：1)完善船上磁地层学；2)生成连续地磁强度和定向古长期变化记录；3)生成环境磁记录；4)改进新生代地质时间尺度；5)提高我们对太平洋视极漂移的认识。更广泛的影响：该项目将支持所有四个pi大学的本科生和/或研究生。该项目还有效地利用了以前在IODP考察中进行的大量投资，并进一步加强了考察的几个国际成员与IODP社区之间的合作和信息交流。通过开发这样一个重要的年代学工具，帮助完善地质年标，改善地磁强度记录，该项目对地球科学产生了重大影响。
