SITE SUMMARIES (continued)

Addendum Site LAB-8X

Proposed site:	LAB-8X
Priority:	Primary
Position:	58°27.602'N, 46°29.714'W
Water depth (m):	2778
Target drilling depth (mbsf):	300
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf):	350
Survey coverage:	BGR-2 (SP 4000), KN166-14 Line 25a CDP 13780
Objectives:	Establish, for the last few m.y. (late Neogene–Quaternary), the intercalibration of geomagnetic paleointensity, isotope stratigraphies, and regional environmental stratigraphies and in so doing develop a millennial-scale stratigraphic template. Such a template is a requirement for understanding the relative phasing of atmospheric, cryospheric, and oceanic changes that are central to our understanding of the mechanisms of global climate change on orbital to millennial timescales.
Drilling program:	1-2-3 APC. Triple APC to refusal with drillover.
Logging program:	Triple combo, FMS-sonic
Nature of rock anticipated:	Silty clay
