Ocean 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...

Drilling Program: SHIPBOARD SCIENTIFIC PARTY

Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 199, “The Paleogene Equatorial Transect” (Sites 1215 through 1222), was designed to study the evolution of the equatorial Pacific current and wind system as the Earth went from maximum Cenozoic warmth to initial Antarctic glaciations. The drilling program was primarily devoted to a transect along 56to 57-Ma crust, old enough to capture the Paleocene/ Eocene boun...

Drilling Program: SHIPBOARD SCIENTIFIC PARTY

The bend in the Hawaiian-Emperor chain is the best example of a change in plate motion recorded in a fixed-hotspot frame of reference. Alternatively, the bend might primarily record differences in motion of the Hawaiian hotspot relative to the Pacific lithosphere. Four lines of inquiry support the latter view: (1) global plate motions predicted from relative plate motion data, (2) spreading rat...
