Pacific Ocean
Project Type: Research

DESCRIPTION: Samples from cores taken during Expedition 343 will be tested using biomarkers to determine maximum temperatures experienced by rocks as a result of frictional heating during the Tohoku earthquake. Results will be calibrated with experimentally heated samples.
