This project will developa chronology for the Paleogene by integrating magnetostratigraphy, stable isotope stratigraphy, Sr- isotope, and biostratigraphy. The stratigraphic goal is to develop a Paleogene time scale, and to test biostratigraphic correlations between low and high latitudes. In addition, the work has the paleoceanographic goal of reconstructing deep-and surface-water fluctuations by makeing synoptic faunal and isotope comparisons across two climate transitions, the Paleocene/Eocene boundary and the late middle Eocene to early Oligocene.

该项目将通过整合磁性地层学、稳定同位素地层学、Sr同位素和生物地层学来制定古近纪年代学。地层学的目标是制定古近纪时间尺度，并测试低纬度和高纬度之间的生物地层相关性。此外，这项工作的古海洋学目标是通过对两个气候转变（古新世/始新世边界和中始新世晚期到渐新世早期）进行天气动物和同位素比较来重建深层和表层水波动。
