High resolution, continuous records of GRAPE wet bulk density (a carbonate proxy) from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 138
provide one the opportunity for a detailed study of eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean carbonate sedimentation during the last 6...

Benthic foraminifer and δ¹³C data from Site 849, on the west flank of the East Pacific Rise (0°11'N, 110°3l'W; 3851 m), give
relatively continuous records of deep Pacific Ocean stable isotope variations between 0 and 5 Ma. The mean sample spacing...

Establishing true depths of recovered sediments is critical to determining sedimentation rates for high-resolution paleoclimatic
studies. We have corrected the composite depth scale, which accounts for the entire continuous sedimentary sequence,...

High-resolution records of δ¹⁸0 and relative abundances of planktonic foraminifers were generated for ODP Leg 138 Site 846 for the past 800 k.y., with an average sampling interval of 3.6 k.y. The time scale was constructed by correlating the...

During Leg 138, we measured reflectance spectra in the visible and near-infrared bands (455-945 nm) every few centimeters on split core surfaces from eastern tropical Pacific Ocean sediments. Here, we evaluate predictions of the content of...

The primary objective of Leg 138 was to provide detailed information about the ocean's response to global climate change
during the Neogene. Two north south transects were drilled (95° and 110°W) within the region of equatorial divergence driven...

Calcium carbonate percentages at five Ceara Rise sites were estimated at 1- to 2-k.y. intervals over the past 5 m.y., using
reflectance spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility proxies. From these estimates and detailed correlations between sites,...

Sediments from five Leg 167 drill sites and three piston cores were analyzed for C[subscript ORG] and CaCO₃. Oxygen isotope stratigraphy on benthic foraminifers was used to assign age models to these sedimentary records. We find that the northern...

Pollen analyses of sediments from Holes 1019C, 1019E, 1020C, and 1020D as well as piston Core EW9504-17 provide
continuous, chronostratigraphically controlled proxy vegetation and climate data for coastal northwest North America for the
last ~500...

During ODP Leg 138, we tested a prototype instrument, developed
at Oregon State University, for measuring light reflectance in 511
channels of the visible and near-infrared bands. The technique of
reflectance spectroscopy has been used for some...

To facilitate the selection of drill sites for Leg 138, a site survey
program was conducted on board the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography's research vessel Thomas Washington (Cruise Venture

We analyzed the unsaturation ratio (U k/37 ) of long-chain ketones—a molecular sea-surface temperature (SST) indicator—concentrations of carbonate and organic carbon in sediments from Site 846 in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. Based on an...

Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 138 was designed to study the late Neogene paleoceanography of the equatorial Pacific
Ocean at time scales of thousands to millions of years. Crucial to this objective was the acquisition of continuous,...

Sediment spectral reflectance measurements were generated aboard the JOIDES Resolution during Ocean Drilling Program
Leg 162 shipboard operations. The large size of the raw data set (over 1.3 gigabytes) and limited computer hard disk storage

More than 7 km of long and relatively continuous sediment sequences
from 11 sites in the southeast and equatorial Pacific were recovered
during Leg 202 for the study of the Earth’s climate and biogeochemical
systems on scales that range from...

This report describes the state of the California
Current System (CCS)—meteorological, physical, chemical,

2004. The area covered in this report ranges from Oregon
coastal waters to southern Baja...

This report summarizes the recent state of the California
Current System (CCS), primarily during the period of
April 2004 to January 2005. The report is based on observations

Sediments at the southern summit of Hydrate Ridge display two distinct
modes of gas hydrate occurrence. The dominant mode is associated
with active venting of gas exsolved from the accretionary prism
and leads to high concentrations (15%–40% of...

Sediments of the central Chile margin record changes in ocean circulation and
continental erosion associated with large–scale climate change. Here Antarctic–

A 1½-yr survey of planktonic fish larvae collected from 2 to 111 km off the mid-Oregon coast in
1971-72 yielded 287 samples which contained 23,578 individuals in 90 taxonomic groups, 78 identified
at the species level.
Two distinct faunal...
