The PIs will analyze recently collected NSF funded cores from the shelf and slope of Waipaoa River which is a Source-to-Sink focus site as a part of the MARGINS program. These long cores cover a interval up to the last glacial maximum and their detailed study will lead to an understanding of the late Quaternary history of this system. The PIs will establish an age model, document sediment properties and study climatic proxies to identify dramatic geological, climatic and anthropogenic changes affecting the input to this margin. It will also lead to the understanding of the evolution of the shelf basin since the LGM and the interplay between sediment input, tectonics and sediment bypassing to the slope and basin.The project will support a female Ph.D. student at VIMS and will involve New Zealand students as well. It has a strong international cooperation component, with collaboration with French and NZ scientist involved at the Waipaoa focus site.

PI 将分析最近从怀宝阿河的陆架和斜坡收集的 NSF 资助的岩心，这是 MARGINS 计划的一部分，是一个从源到汇的重点地点。这些长岩心覆盖了直到末次盛冰期的一段时间，对它们的详细研究将有助于了解该系统的晚第四纪历史。 PI 将建立年龄模型，记录沉积物特性并研究气候代理，以确定影响该边缘输入的剧烈地质、气候和人为变化。它还将有助于了解自末次盛冰期以来陆架盆地的演化以及沉积物输入、构造和绕过斜坡和盆地的沉积物之间的相互作用。该项目将支持一名女性博士。 VIMS 的学生，新西兰学生也将参与其中。它具有强大的国际合作成分，与参与外保阿重点站点的法国和新西兰科学家合作。
