Towards an improved Arctic Ocean chronostratigraphy
Concrete planning continues for launching the IODP Arctic Ocean expedition in summer 2004. The two major objectives are (1) to understand the long-term (50 Ma) and short-term (Neogene) paleoceanographic history and (2) the tectonic evolution of the central Arctic Ocean.So far, the history of Arctic...

Concrete planning continues for launching the IODP Arctic Ocean expedition in summer 2004. The two major objectives are (1) to understand the long-term (50 Ma) and short-term (Neogene) paleoceanographic history and (2) the tectonic evolution of the central Arctic Ocean.So far, the history of Arctic Ocean paleoceanography is so poorly known that scientists can look at the recovery of any material as a true exploration that will, by definition, increase the knowledge and understanding of this critical region for climate change. As an important contribution to the planned drilling in the central part of the Arctic Ocean, we have worked out a refined chronostratigraphy for Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 16 to MIS 2 on existing ODP site 910 from the marginal Arctic Ocean (Yermak Plateau), which will serve as important correlating tools for establishing a sound stratigraphy in the central Arctic Ocean.Various approaches including sedimentological, physical and micropaleontological methods are needed to establish a chronostratigraphy for the central Arctic Ocean.
