ODP Site 1237 and sediment core RRV9702a-69PC were investigated for siliciclastic grain-size distributions and changes in geochemical composition to reconstruct southeast trade-wind variability during the past 5 Ma.
Because both, working and archive halves of all ODP Site 1237 cores were completely depleted between 3.3 and 8.1 meters composite depths, (mcd), the corresponding sections of pre-site survey core RRV9702A-69PC were sampled and investigated to fill the gap.
