“…Recently, shelf sediments in the ASE were drilled with the MARUM-MeBo70 sea-bed drilling device in 2017, recovering sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous to Oligocene-Miocene age (Gohl et al, 2017;Klages et al, 2020). The almost continuous sequences at IODP Expedition 379 Sites U1532 and U1533 on the continental rise (Gohl et al, 2021;Wellner et al, 2021aWellner et al, , 2021b span the latest Miocene to Holocene with high core recovery rates of 90% and 70%, respectively (Figure 1). Site U1532 is located near the crest of Resolution Drift (Figure S1) and penetrated down to 794 m depth below the seafloor, exhibiting sedimentation rates of up to 61 cm kyr −1 within the Pliocene.…”
