Collaborative Research: Late Pleistocene Climate-Induced Fluctuations in the California Current: A Paleoceanographic Study and Ocean Drilling Project Site Survey

小行星9315085 该奖项将支持对加州海流系统的海洋地质和地球物理研究，是博伊西州立大学和南加州大学科学家之间的合作项目。该项目的主要目标是获得广泛的地震反射数据库和一套大直径活塞岩心，并利用这些新数据研究当前系统在末次冰期循环中的变化。这项研究的结果将与陆地上的类似工作相联系。 此外，将获得的数据将用于规划钻探，作为大洋钻探计划的一部分，该计划将研究加州海流对新近纪气候条件变化的长期演变。这项研究的调查人员是高素质的，该项目将利用与其他一些从事加州海流研究的小组的密切合作。 ***

9315085 Lyle This award will support a marine geological and geophysical study of the California Current system and is a cooperative project between scientists at Boise State University and the University of Southern California. The main objectives of the project are to acquire an extensive base of seismic reflection data and a suite of large diameter piston cores and to use this new data to examine changes in the current system over the last glacial cycle. the results of the study will be correlated with similar work on land. Additionally, the data to be acquired will be used in planning drilling as part of the Ocean Drilling Program which will examine the long-term evolution of the California Current in response to changing Neogene climate conditions. The investigators on this study are highly qualified and the project will take advantage of close cooperation with a number of other groups engaged in studies of the California Current. ***
