ODP scientists record geological events 30 million years old, happening today UNIVERSITY NEWS SERVICE Scientists with the international Ocean Drilling Program have recorded the history of a geologi cal event that began more than 30 million years ago and is still occurring today. ODP researchers said from the program’s Texas A&M University headquarters that they also drilled one of the deepest holes ever into basement rock and further documented a rever sal of Earth’s magnetic field that occurred more rapidly than previously thought. The latest finds also included a large pocket of briny water that is the most altered seawater ana lyzed in the drilling program, said Texas A&M oceanographer Dr. Philip Rabinowitz, ODP di rector. Scientists drilled into the Izu-Bonin volcanic is lands of the Western Pacific to learn about their origin and evolution and the rifting processes that are still occurring today. The great arc-shaped island chains and adja cent trenches slashing the ocean floor in the Western Pacific owe their configuration to crus tal plate movement. When two oceanic plates converge, as they do in this region, one is forced or subducted be neath the other. Partial melting of the subducted plate initiates volcanic activity that eventually re sults in a chain of small volcanic islands called is land arcs. OOP’s scientific team, using the 470-foot drill ship JOIDES Resolution, drilled into the island- arc system that lies south of the main island of Ja pan. ^ S^mple^ollected reveal a history that began when part of the Pacific Ocean floor broke apart and was pushed,under what is now the floor of the Philippine Sea. The collision created the Izu- Bonin volcanic island chain and its deep trench. During the last 31 million years, the islan; chain stretched and pulled apart in several loa tions. The most recent activity began from 1.1 3.5 million years ago and still is active today. “7 re,” of th ion. At such grad activi perse rut, v restr: ningi The oldest material was recovered from a more than a mile deep. The basement rock-- oldest rock underlying the sedimentary layer-I had erupted as volcanic lava as the arc was bein! pulled apart. ODP researchers further studied the rocksant sediments to learn more about the history o I Earth’s magnetic field and their discovery earlie P this year of a magnetic reversal of Earth’s pole 700,000 years ago. The reversal, scientists said occurred more rapidly than previously though switching over a span of thousands of years ani possibly in as little as several hundred years.

In addition, a story accompanying the U.S. News cover story quotes A&M’s Dr. George Bass about the significance of underwater archaelogy in gathering his torical data.
