Transport, Removal and Accumulation of sediments Numerically Simulated for Paleo-Oceans and Reconstructed from cores of The Eirik Drift (TRANSPORTED)
Oceanography
Final Report Abstract
The TRANSPORTED project is part of the IODP and focuses on the interpretation of oceanic drill cores. The influences of oceanic sedimentation processes are studied by means of numerical ocean modelling. Within the project we were able to set up a fully coupled state of the art ocean-ice -sediment-model of the Arctic region. This model was initialized and tuned by on-site sediment observations from our cooperation partners within the IODP. For the first time, detailed sensitivity studies of the Arctic sedimentation processes became possible. The studies include sensitivities to basin bathymetry, in and outflow geometry as well as ambient climatic conditions. The project laid important ground for future studies. The developed model setup will allow to answer urgent questions about the interpretability and the error budgets of sediment drill cores. Especially, temporal and spatial correlation length of the point-wise measurements could be determined by respective ensemble based model simulations.
