Description
Summary:In this Initial Report of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, detailed studies of Sites 533 (gas hydrates) on the Blake Outer Ridge and 534 (oldest ocean history) in the Blake-Bahama Basin have provided answers to many geological and geophysical questions posed over the decade that deep drilling has been undertaken in this part of the western North Atlantic. The history of drilling and a historical review of key scientific accomplishments have been presented in the Introduction (Gradstein and Sheridan, this volume). In this final chapter we review highlights of new geological, geophysical and paleoceanographic interpretations presented in this volume, and offer a critical review of this information. We conclude with a listing of some outstanding problems and recommendations for future research, including data collection.
