The Laguna Potrok Aike Scientific Drilling Project PASADO (ICDP Expedition 5022)
In the Southern Hemisphere long, continuous, and high-resolution series of terrestrial paleoclimatic data are scarce, and they are only slowly emerging. Globally speaking, the most extreme oceanic character is encountered between 40°S and 60°S (Fig. 1). In this latitudinal belt ninety-eight percent of water is juxtaposed to only two percent of land— Patagonia and a few sub-Antarctic islands. Th...
متن کاملThe Lake El’gygytgyn Scientific Drilling Project – Conquering Arctic Challenges through Continental Drilling
Between October 2008 and May 2009, the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) co-sponsored a campaign at Lake El ́gygytgyn, located in a 3.6-Ma-old meteorite impact crater in northeastern Siberia. Drilling targets included three holes in the center of the 170-m-deep lake, utilizing the lake ice cover as a drilling platform, plus one hole close to the shore in the western la...
متن کاملContinental Drilling and the Study of Impact Craters and Processes – an ICDP Perspective
Currently about 170 impact craters are known on Earth; about one third of those structures are not exposed on the surface and can only be studied by geophysics or drilling. The impact origin of geological structures can only be confirmed by petrographic and geochemical studies; thus, it is of crucial importance to obtain samples of subsurface structures. In addition, structures that have surfac...
متن کاملAn NSF/ICDP Workshop on Scientific Drilling on Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika
Paleoclimate research focusing on Africa has made a rich contribution to the development ofhypotheses regarding human evolutionary history. Two examples: The turnover pulse hypothesis (advanced by E. Vrba, 1980-1995) and thevariability selection hypothesis (advanced by R. Potts, 1996-1998) were developed as a directresult of the past two decades of research on global paleoclimates a...
متن کاملEl'gygytgyn impact crater, Chukotka, Arctic Russia: Impact cratering aspects of the 2009 ICDP drilling project
The El'gygytgyn impact structure in Chukutka, Arctic Russia, is the only impact crater currently known on Earth that was formed in mostly acid volcanic rocks (mainly of rhyolitic, with some andesitic and dacitic, compositions). In addition, because of its depth, it has provided an excellent sediment trap that records paleoclimatic information for the 3.6 Myr since its formation. For these two m...
