The overall objective is to correlate these climate/paleoceanographic records to two (ostensibly) independent global stratigraphic signals (delta (super 18) O and RPI), thereby enhancing stratigraphic resolution. One site at Orphan Knoll (Site U1302/U1303) provided a proximal record of Laurentide Ice Sheet instability for the Brunhes Chron. Three sites from the Eirik Drift (Sites U1305, U1306, and U1307) provided records of the strength and location of the Western Boundary Undercurrents well as monitors of Greenland Ice Sheet instability back into the Pliocene. Poor weather over the Erik Drift during the second phase of drilling (Expedition 306) precluded the planned return that would have further enhanced knowledge of the history of the drift. Three sites (U1308, U1312, and U1313) constituted reoccupations of classic paleoceanographic sites drilled in 1983 during Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 94. Although poor weather compromised the record at Site U1312, the new drilling at Sites U1308 and U1313 provided complete sections to the Pliocene and late Miocene, respectively, that were not available from Leg 94. Site U1308 provided evidence for "Hudson Strait" Heinrich Events in the eastern North Atlantic from the end of the middle Pleistocene transition ( approximately 640 ka). One site on the central part of the Gardar Drift (Site U1314) and one site at the southern tip of the Gardar Drift (Site U1304) provided high-resolution deepwater paleoceanographic records that can be linked with shallower water drift sites in the Iceland Basin, drilled during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 162. Site U1315, located on the Voring Plateau, was drilled to 179 meters below seafloor. Instruments to monitor seafloor temperature variations resulting from bottom current changes were installed with a circulation obviation retrofit kit to seal the borehole.completedStratigraphyalgaeArctic OceanAtlantic Oceanbiostratigraphyboreholescarbonate sedimentsCenozoicchemostratigraphycorescorrelationdiatomsevent stratigraphyExpeditions 303/306Foraminiferagamma-ray spectraHeinrich eventsIntegrated Ocean Drilling ProgramInvertebrataIODP Site U1302IODP Site U1303IODP Site U1305IODP Site U1306IODP Site U1307IODP Site U1308IODP Site U1312IODP Site U1313IODP Site U1314IODP Site U1315isotope ratiosisotopeslithostratigraphymagnetic propertiesmagnetic susceptibilitymagnetostratigraphymarine sedimentsmicrofossilsMid-Atlantic RidgenannofossilsNeogeneNorth AtlanticNortheast AtlanticNorthwest AtlanticNorwegian SeaO-18/O-16oxygenpaleo-oceanographypaleoclimatologypaleoenvironmentpaleomagnetismPlantaeProtistaQuaternaryreversalssedimentsspectrastable isotopesTertiaryVoring Plateauurn:org.iodp:exp:303:site:U1302urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:303urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:303:site:U1303urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:303urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:303:site:U1305urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:303urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:303:site:U1306urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:303urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:303:site:U1307urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:303urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:303:site:U1308urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:303urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:306:site:U1312urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:306urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:306:site:U1313urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:306urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:306:site:U1314urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:306urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:306:site:U1315urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:306urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-48.32002.550041.000067.1400Expeditions 303/306application/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogueana.macario@awi.dehttp://sedis.iodp.org/pub-catalogue/informationpointOfContacthttp://publications.iodp.org/proceedings/303_306/ERR/CHAPTERS/0306_214.PDFdownload
