The equatorial Pacific has been the object of several studies in                the fields of physical oceanography and marine geology. The                     region is known to have a strong response to climate change over                many different time scales. This includes seasonal and                          interannual variations, late Pleistocene rhythmic changes                       associated with orbital forcing  and high latitude glaciation,                  and long-term evolution of climate systems associated with                      changes in late Neogene oceanic boundary conditions. A critical                 aspect of modern oceanographic research is to deduce the timing                 and global relations of these oceanographic changes in the                      eastern Pacific.                                                                                                                                                This award will support a sedimentologic and paleoceanographic                  study of the eastern equatorial Pacific using seismic reflection                profiling and shallow sediment coring. Sediments recovered will                 be analyzed for their geochemical and paleontologic record.                     Isotope studies will be used to determine age and history of sea                surface conditions. Additionally, data to be acquired will form                 the basis for recovering longer history of the region using cores               recovered by the Ocean Drilling Program.
