G.authorMacmillan Journals, London, United KingdompublisherdocumentHardcopyNature (London)316 (6028)507-511Late Eocene-early Oligocene (42-35 Myr) sediments cored at two DSDP sites in the south-west Pacific contain evidence of a pronounced increase in local volcanic activity, particularly in close association with the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. This pulse of volcanism is coeval with that in New Zealand and resulted from the development of an Indo- Australian/Pacific Plate boundary through the region during the late Eocene. The late Eocene/earliest Oligocene was marked by widespread volcanism and tectonism throughout the Pacific and elsewhere, and by one of the most important episodes of Cenozoic climatic cooling.completedStratigraphyalgaebiostratigraphyCenozoicCircum-Pacific regioncoresDeep Sea Drilling ProjectDSDP Site 592DSDP Site 593Eoceneevolutionexplosive eruptionsForaminiferaInvertebrataIPODisotopesLeg 90lower Oligocenemarine sedimentsmicrofossilsmovementnannofossilsO-18/O-16OligoceneorogenyoxygenPacific OceanPacific regionpaleoclimatologypaleoecologyPaleogenePlantaeplate boundariesplate tectonicsProtistasedimentsSouth Pacificsouthwestern Pacificstable isotopesstratigraphic boundarystratigraphytectonophysicsTertiarythallophytesupper Eocenevolcaniclasticsvolcanismvolcanologyurn:org.iodp:exp:90urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:90:site:592urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:90urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:90:site:593urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:90urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation165.1630165.2630-36.2824-36.2824
