Enabling magnetostratigraphic dating of a drill core from paleo-Lake Idaho

该提案（“Kleinantrag”）与德国ICDP优先计划中批准的跨学科和相互关联的项目相关联，该项目旨在研究北美中纬度地区前古爱达荷湖的沉积物钻芯。在这个框架项目中，将探讨岩心的古气候潜力。爱达荷核心提供了一个独特的机会来研究温暖的上新世时期，上新世-更新世过渡，以及北美大陆北半球冰川作用的开始-所有这些都在同一个档案中。建立高质量的年龄控制对ICDP框架项目的成功至关重要。本建议利用必要的补充资金开展古地磁工作进行磁地层测年。为此目的，<s:1>宾根大学申请人将与海德堡大学和科隆大学ICDP项目的主要研究人员密切合作。

This proposal ('Kleinantrag') is interconnected with an approved interdisciplinary and interlinked project within the German ICDP priority program in order to study a sediment drill core from the former paleo-Lake Idaho in mid-latitude North America. In this framework project the paleoclimatic potential of the core shall be explored. The Idaho-core offers a unique opportunity to study the warm Pliocene period, the Pliocene-Pleistocene transition, and the initiation of the northern hemisphere glaciation in the continental North America - all in the same archive. Establishment of a high-quality age control is crucial for the success of the ICDP framework project. This proposal applies the necessary complementary funding to carry out the paleomagnetic work for magnetostratigraphic dating. For this purpose, the applicant of Tübingen University will closely cooperate with the principle investigators of the ICDP project at the Universities of Heidelberg and Cologne.
