Ocean Drilling Program Leg 135 Preliminary Report
Leg 135 of the Ocean Drilling Program drilled and cored eight sites across the Lau Basin and adjacent Tonga Ridge to study the geological evolution of a backarc basin and adjacent oceanic arc and forearc. Six sites (Sites 834, 835, 836, 837, 838, and 839) were drilled within the Lau Basin, each within smaller and narrower (<10 km) north-south fault basins and collectively representing a broad e...
متن کاملOcean Drilling Program Leg 184 Preliminary Report South China Sea
The Asian monsoon system is a major component of both regional and global climate. Evolution of monsoonal climates in southern Asia is linked to the growth of the HimalayanTibetan orogen, the opening and closing of marginal seas, and changes in global climate. The location of the South China Sea (SCS) between East Asia and the “maritime continent” is ideal to record the paleoceanographic respon...
متن کاملOcean Drilling Program Leg 204 Scientific Prospectus Drilling Gas Hydrates on Hydrate Ridge, Cascadia
During Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 204, we will drill a transect of sites through the gas hydrate stability zone on the southern part of Hydrate Ridge on the Cascadia accretionary margin offshore Oregon. Massive hydrates are present at the seafloor there, and high-resolution threedimensional seismic data indicate a complicated subsurface plumbing system. The transect will cover two distinc...
متن کاملCareer plans of final-year medical students in South Africa.
More than half (55%) of the 743 students of South African nationality planned to work abroad, either for a year or two (73%) or more (20%). The remaining 7% intended to relocate permanently. Between 47% (of 876 students) and 59% (of 700 who responded to the question) planned to work for a time in rural areas after specialising. Twice as many planned to work for most of their careers in the priv...
متن کاملAddressing Geohazards Through Ocean Drilling
Natural geohazards, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and volcanic collapse, are of immediate societal concern. In an oceanic setting (Fig. 1), all are capable of generating tsunami that threaten coastal zones at distances of many thousands of kilometers. This power and its effects were forcefully shown by the giant earthquake (� w 9.2) and tsunami of 26 December 2004 off t...
