During the first 16 months of the project surface sediments of the proposed ODP/IODP cores and from nearby locations (Fig. 1) were sampled. The leaching method to extract the seawater derived radiogenic Nd and Pb isotope signatures from the early diagenetic ferromanganese coatings of the sediments (Gutjahr et al., 2007) was extensively tested and, where necessary, improved for the different core locations by comparison of core top data to the modern dissolved bottom water Nd isotope signatures in the same areas (Lacan and Jeandel, 2004; Andersson et al., 2008). These test results for sediments in the N-Atlantic (at or near Site 984), the Norwegian-Greenland Seas (near Site 907) and on the Yermak-Plateau in the Fram Strait (Site 911) (Fig. 2) showed that the data of ODP Site 911 gave Nd isotope signatures closest to the modern ocean bottom water signatures, which was supported by Sr isotope signatures very close to seawater in the same leachates. The Nd isotope results of Sites 907 were slightly too radiogenic and those of Site 984 were significantly too radiogenic compared with expected values from deep water data although it has to be stated that there are no direct deepwater data available for Sites 907 and 984.
