This award is for one year of additional funding to complete a MARGINS Source-to-Sink investigation of the subaqueous clinoform in the Gulf of Papua (GoP). Due to fortunate circumstances they acquired more than 6800 km of high-resolution seismic data (2300 km of surface-towed Edgetech and 4500 km of hull-mounted Knudsen) and 46 piston and gravity cores for a total cumulative core length of 432 m. This third year of funding will be used to complete the analysis of the data, numerical modeling, and synthesis. Additional radiometric ages, seismic mapping of specific lenses, numerical modeling of ocean circulation at a lower sea level, and identification of sediment sources through geochemical and petrographic analysis will allow the PIs to test the hypotheses developed during the first two years of funding.The broader impacts include the participation of graduate students and the outreach activities carried out in Papua New Guinea and the Scripps Aquarium.

该奖项是为一年的额外资金筹集的，以完成对巴布亚湾（GOP）中水下斜面的利润来源调查。由于幸运的情况，他们获得了超过6800 km的高分辨率地震数据（2300 km的表面theed式Edgetech和4500 km的船体安装的Knudsen）和46个活塞和重力核心，总累积核心核心长度为432 m。第三年的资金将用于完成数据，数值建模和合成的分析。 Additional radiometric ages, seismic mapping of specific lenses, numerical modeling of ocean circulation at a lower sea level, and identification of sediment sources through geochemical and petrographic analysis will allow the PIs to test the hypotheses developed during the first two years of funding.The broader impacts include the participation of graduate students and the outreach activities carried out in Papua New Guinea and the Scripps Aquarium.
