| Abstract: This award is for support of a two year study to test a preliminary magnetostratigraphic correlation which was developed for Strand Fjord, Axel Heiberg Island, Northwest Territories, Canada. In addition to extending the section to younger (Eocene) and older (Campanian-Maastrichtian) sediments, an in-depth lithostratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic study will be made of a laminated lagoonal sequence at Strand Fiord. This sequence affords a nearly unique opportunity to obtain a Late Cretaceous polar paleoclimate record of annual variability that also extends into the Milankovitch frequency band. |
