Biostratigraphy and Paleoenvironmental Analyses of Pleistocene NJ Shelf Sediments

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to understand the patterns and timing of latest Pleistocene sedimentation in the Geoclutter area of the NJ margin. Paleoenvironmental reconstructions of the study area were developed using benthic foraminifera and sediment texture analyses of drill cores obtained in Fall 2002 using the ACHC-800 from the RV Knorr. This award has been extended through May to facilitate sediment texture analyses by graduate (masters) student R. J. Turner and the synthesis of paleoenvironmental analyses by Christensen.
