This award will enable  Dr. Robert B. Dunbar of Rice University to              collaborate with Dr. Peter Barrett of the Victoria University of                Wellington, New Zealand.  They will work on developing a                        quantitative sedimentation model for the McMurdo Sound area of the              Ross Sea, Antarctica.  Sediment sources, transport paths and                    accumulation rates will be examined via geochemical and                         micropaleontologic characterization of sediment trap and seafloor               sediment samples, as well as lead-210 analysis of accumulation                  rates using sediment cores.                                                                                                                                     The Ross Sea/McMurdo Sound area is the most extensively sampled                 region of the Antarctic shelf with respect to coring and                        drilling.  A quantitative working model of shelf sedimentation is               a prerequisite for accurate interpretation of the sediment record               from these piston cores and drill cores.  Drs. Dunbar and Barrett               have ongoing field programs in the Antarctic.  Their collaboration              in developing a quantitative model of sedimentation processes will              have utility in validating geochemical cycles and budgets, not                  only for the area of McMurdo Sound, but on a global scale.
