Scientific Collaboration on Past Speciation Conditions in Lake Ohrid (SCOPSCO): Coring and Sedimentology

拟议的项目是几个德国研究机构的DFG捆绑提案的核心部分，并被整合到一个合作研究计划中，主要是与欧洲研究机构的合作伙伴。在ICDP项目“奥赫里德湖过去物种形成条件科学合作”（SCOPSCO）的范围内，将从奥赫里德湖（阿尔巴尼亚和马其顿）恢复5个长达680米的沉积物序列。ICDP项目旨在研究奥赫里德湖的年龄和起源，获得第四纪期间地质、环境和气候变化的详细信息，并提高对生物物种形成驱动力的认识。这里申请的项目旨在(1)确保2011年春季在ICDP钻井活动范围内成功地对奥赫里德湖进行取心，(2)对恢复的沉积物序列进行初步研究，以建立岩性剖面，确定主要环境变化时期，并通过合作提供：(3)为今后与参与该项目的其他研究机构的合作提供可靠的科学和后勤基础。

The proposed project is the central part of a DFG bundle proposal of several German research institutions and is integrated in a collaborative research program, mainly with partners from European research institutions. Within the scope of the ICDP project Scientific Collaboration On Past Speciation Conditions in Lake Ohrid (SCOPSCO) five up to 680 m long sediment sequences shall be recovered from Lake Ohrid (Albania and Macedonia). The ICDP project aims to study the age and origin of Lake Ohrid, to achieve detailed information about geological, environmental and climate variations during the Quaternary and to improve the knowledge of the driving forces for biotic speciation. The project applied for here is intended (1) to ensure a successful coring campaign of Lake Ohrid in spring 2011 within the scope of the ICDP drilling campaign, (2) to carry out initial studies on the recovered sediment sequences in order to establish lithological profiles, define periods of major environmental changes and provide, in cooperation, robust age-depth models on the cores and (3) to provide a reliable scientific and logistic basis for future collaboration with other research institutions involved in the project.
