Stratigraphic correlation of marine sediments is the cornerstone of             marine geology.  Magnetostratigraphy provides a unique method of global         correlation that is independent of depositional environment.  The need          to provide a time-frame for investigating rapid paleoenvironmental              changes, the need to correlate diverse biozonations and to investigate          the synchroneity of biostratigraphic events, has enhanced the                   importance of magnetostratigraphy.  The Late Miocene to Pliocene                interval is still problematic for biomagnetostratigraphic correlations.         These correlations have not been well established either in the open            ocean or in the Mediterranean region, where the Mio-Pliocene stratotype         sections are located.  The PI will derive magnetostratigraphies from            specific land sections in Italy, and in so doing correlate Mio-Pliocene         stratotype sections to the geomagnetic reversal time scale and provide          a first link between Mediterranean and open ocean biozonations.  This           will also allow the correlation of paleoclimatic events between the             Mediterranean and the open ocean, and shed light on the cause of the            Mediterranean salinity crisis.  The acquisition of                              magnetostratigraphies in the Mediterranean Neogene has been an elusive          goal, and the lithologies are not ideal for magnetostratigraphy.                However, initial studies demonstrate that the sections which will be            sampled will provide biomagnetostratigraphic correlations from the              Serravallian (Middle Miocene) to the Plio-Pleistocene boundary.
