A variety of data processing methods, statistical treatment, and display techniques were used to describe this data set. The downhole fine-fraction grain-size distribution documents significant variations in the average grain-size composition and its cyclic pattern, revealed in five prominent intervals: (1) between 0 and 40 meters composite depth (mcd) (0 and 1.3 Ma), (2) between 40 and 80 mcd (1.3 and 2.4 Ma), (3) between 80 and 220 mcd (2.4 and 6 Ma), (4) between 220 and 360 mcd, and (5) below 360 mcd (prior to 8.1 Ma). In an approach designed to characterize depositional processes at Drift 7, we used statistical parameters determined by the method of moments for the sortable silt fraction to distinguish groups in the grain-size data set. We found three distinct grain-size populations and used these for a tentative environmental interpretation. Population 1 is related to a process in which glacially eroded shelf material was redeposited by turbidites with an ice-rafted debris influence. Population 2 is composed of interglacial turbidites. Population 3 is connected to depositional sequence tops linked to bioturbated sections that, in turn, are influenced by contourite currents and pelagic background sedimentation.completedStratigraphyAntarctic OceanAntarctic PeninsulaAntarcticabiogenic structuresbioturbationCenozoiccoresdepositional environmenterosionglacial erosiongrain sizeice raftingLeg 178marine sedimentsMioceneNeogeneOcean Drilling Programocean floorsODP Site 1095paleoclimatologypaleoenvironmentQuaternaryreconstructionsediment transportsedimentary structuressedimentssize distributionstatistical analysisTertiaryturbiditeupper Mioceneurn:org.iodp:exp:178urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:178:site:1095urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:178urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-78.2916-78.2916-66.5907-66.5907Data report; available only on CD-ROM in PDF format and on the Web in PDF or HTML; access date Feb. 24, 2002application/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogueana.macario@awi.dehttp://sedis.iodp.org/pub-catalogue/informationpointOfContacthttp://www-odp.tamu.edu/publications/178_SR/VOLUME/CHAPTERS/SR178_24.PDFdownload
