This project involves a field program in the Mediterranean Sea to               take sedimentary cores that will be used for a paleoclimatic                    study.  That study will use the geochemical composition (Cadmium                and Barium especially) of foraminifera shells to determine the                  circulation of the Mediterranean during the last 20,000 years.                  That information will be used to examine which of two competing                 hypotheses on the glacial/interglacial circulation patterns may                 be correct.  The results of this project may also contribute to                 an understanding of the mechanisms which control the organic                    content of sediments.
