The investigators will directly measure the depth                       distribution along which naturally-deposited deep-sea sediments                 acquire their natural remanent magnetization in the surficial                   layers of sedimentary deposits.  The investigators will study                   this remanence-lock-in distribution, and associated rock-                       magnetic and sedimentary characteristic, in a suite of oriented                 box-cores collected in basins of the California Continental                     Borderland and in the deep ocean beyond the Patton Escarpment.                  These box cores were collected in a previously NSF/funded pilot                 study for a similar kind of research.  The results of this                      pilot study show a valid methodology for estimating ten lock-in                 depths and other interesting facts about the process of how                     sediments acquire magnetization.  In this study, the                            investigators also propose to collect box-cores that will                       sample both bioturbated and non-bioturbated localities with                     sedimentation rates which vary from about 2 to 50 cm/ky.  By                    combing the measurement of the remanence-lock-in distribution                   with the study of benthic mixing and sedimentation in the                       natural environment, it is hoped that a fundamental                             contribution will be made in understanding of acquisition of                    natural remanent magnetization in sediment.
