This is a U.S.-French field study in the Central Indian                 Basin aboard the French research vessel Marion Dufresne.  Long                  (30 to 45 meters) and large-diameter (15cm) piston cores will                   be obtained along a transect extending from the equator to                      approximately 15  south.  This transect spans several first-                    order oceanographic and sedimentary transition zones,                           reflecting the confluence of distal turbidite sedimentation on                  the lower Ganges fan and biosiliceaous sedimentation associated                 with the hydrochemical "front" (10 S) and the South Equatorial                  Current.  These cores will extend the Indian Ocean                              magnetobiostratigraphic type-section from Plio-Pleistocene down                 into the Middle-Upper Miocene, ca 10Ma.                                                 Using this stratigraphic type-section, the study will be                able to establish with high precision the chronology of major                   episodes of biosiliceous and distal turbidite sedimentation in                  the Central Indian Basin during the Neogene, and the degree of                  non-synchroneity of radiolarian datum levels.
