Paleo Dust Southern Ocean Gas Exchange Experiment
A US-led program to use process studies to improve quantification of air-sea CO2 fluxes and the gas transfer velocity was initiated in 1998. So far, two large-scale studies have been conducte

Tertiary Magmatism in East Greenland and Hotspot Magmatism Worldwide
PI(s):
Peter B. Kelemen Layered intrusions in East Greenland, mostly close to the contact between PreCambrian gneisses and Tertiary flood basalts, are commonly several million years younger than the flood basalts.
