Pacific site assessment
Description
Detailed studies of VEMA-36 piston cores show very coherent deposition throughout western North Pacific site E-2 for the past 2 million years. Planned Glomar Challenger drilling in 1982 will test the entire clay record at this site. Deposition at sites B-1 and C-1 appears to have been continuous for the past 2 million years, but factor-of-two or more variations in relative accumulation rates between and within piston cores suggest depositional regimes more complex than those at E-2. Northwestern B-1 warrents further work as a reduced site to complement the highly oxic sediments at E-2
