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.

The oldest material was recovered from a
more than a mile deep. The basement rock--

had erupted as volcanic lava as the arc was bein!

ODP researchers further studied the rocksant
sediments to learn more about the history o I
Earth’s magnetic field and their discovery earlie P

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.

Two Texas A&M University scientists and scholars
were in the national spotlight last month.
The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE),
an unprecedented global study of the oceans that will
involve hundreds of scientists in dozens of countries
during the 1990s, was noted in articles in the Aue. 16

the Texas A&M faculty since 1962.
In addition, a story accompanying the U.S. News
