SITE SUMMARIES (continued)

Addendum Site LAB-8Z-alt

Proposed site:	LAB-8Z-alt
Priority:	Alternate
Position:	58°23.119'N, 46°39.137'W
Water depth (m):	2941
Target drilling depth (mbsf):	300
Approved maximum penetration (mbsf):	300
Survey coverage:	BGR-2 (SP 4000), KN166-14 Line 25a CDP 12800
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 with drillover
Logging program:	TBD
Nature of rock anticipated:	Silty clay
