The project will study cores in the Sulu Sea and South China                    Sea in order to contrast a silled, anoxic basin with an open                    oxygenated basin, respectively, during a glacial to                             interglacial cycle.  The advantage of a study of this type in                   this area is that an open ocean study area of anoxic (or at                     least oxygen deficient) conditions does not have the problems                   of terrigenous input during periods of low sea level as would                   be found in the more common continental margin sites.  The                      study involves foraminiferal studies, oxygen and carbon                         isotopic studies, and bathymetric distribution of benthic                       foraminifera.  These studies would determine the                                paleoenvironmental conditions during the glacial and                            interglacial periods, examine the controls on benthic                           populations in a shallow silled basin, and provide a baseline                   study in an area where future ODP drilling may occur.  The                      paleoenvironmental information may be used to study the glacial                 to interglacial contrasts in monsoonal characteristics in the                   western Pacific.
