Normalized mechanical properties of resedimented Gulf of Mexico clay from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition Leg 308
During Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition Leg 308, many Whole Core Samples were recovered from the Ursa Basin in the Gulf of Mexico. Post-cruise geotechnical testing found these samples to be highly disturbed due to the sampling process. This research will determine mechanical …

The Impact of Fe-Ti Oxide Concentration on the Structural Ridgity of the Lower Oceanic Crust, Atlantis Bank, Southwest Indian Ridge
<p>Fe-Ti oxides are important components of oceanic core complexes (OCC) formed at slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges since Fe-Ti oxides are more susceptible to crystal-plastic deformation than silicate minerals. This study investigated the predicted relationship between the presence and concentration …

Central North Atlantic (IODP Site U1313) paleoceanography based on a high-resolution dinoflagellate cyst record across the Early–Middle Pleistocene boundary (Marine Isotope Stages 20–18, ~810–741 ka)
… (dinocyst) study of 102 samples from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Site U1313 in the central North Atlantic Ocean represents the most detailed dinocyst record yet available for Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 19, which spans the Lower–Middle Pleistocene boundary. A published ultra-high-resolution …

A study of sub-orbital and millennial-scale climate variability over the past 1.4 million years in the Northern Atlantic
… sites in the North Atlantic gathered by the Ocean Drilling Program in 1995. The study suggests one such narrow band oscillation in the sediment profile at Site 983, which is discussed from a variety of perspectives. Other questions addressed include a discussion of potential age-model …

Dinoflagellate cyst record and paleoceanography through the Pliocene–Pleistocene transition at ODP Site 1143, southern South China Sea
Palynological analysis of 72 samples from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1143, southern South China Sea, spanning a 2.90–2.41 Ma interval across the Pliocene–Pleistocene boundary, reveals a well preserved and relatively diverse dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) record. Generally, the cysts of …

Paleoceanography across the Pliocene–Pleistocene transition in the southern Bering Sea: dinoflagellate cysts and acritarchs from IODP Site U1341
… (2.828 Ma to 2.401 Ma) interval from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Site U1341, Bowers Ridge, southern Bering Sea, northern North Pacific has been analyzed for dinoflagellate cysts, acritarchs and other palynomorphs. Based on 86 samples, with a spacing equivalent to between 500 and 6000 years, …

Fracture Analysis of the Lower Oceanic Crust, Atlantis Bank, Southwest Indian Ridge
<p>Atlantis Bank (AB) is an oceanic core complex (OCC), formed at the slow-spreading (spreading rate/yr) Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR)-Atlantis II transform junction. AB is a domal massif composed of lower crustal and upper mantle rocks exhumed along a normal-sense detachment shear zone/fault. OCCs …
