Small Grant for Exploratory Research: Reconnaissance of Marine Terraces in Eastern Cuba-Raised Pleistocene Coral Reefs

道奇，Richard E.OCE-9816520摘要这项SGER奖项将支持前往古巴勘察据信是更新世生物礁复合体的隆起阶地。将进行测绘和初步采样，并进行地球化学扫描，以确定材料的年龄及其地球化学不完整性。如果这些珊瑚礁是可测年的，并且不会被成岩作用改变，它们就有可能提供加勒比海过去的海平面和气候变化的记录。

DODGE, Richard E. OCE-9816520 SUMMARY This SGER award will support travel to Cuba for reconnaissance of uplifted terraces believed to be Pleistocene reef complexes. Mapping and preliminary sampling will be conducted, and geochemical scanning performed to determine the age of the material and its geochemical inintegrity. If the reefs are dateable and not altered by diagenesis, they hold the potential to provide a record of past sea level and climate changes in the Caribbean.
