| contents | <p>This Scientific Results volume covers Leg 159 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel <em>JOIDES Resolution</em>, Dakar, Senegal, to Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Sites 959–962, 3 January–2 March 1995.</p> <p>Drilling the Cote d'Ivoire-Ghana transform continental margin in the eastern equatorial Atlantic Ocean had both tectonic and paleoceanographic objectives. The main tectonic objective was to better understand the evolution of transform continental margins. Transform faults represent the third major category of plate boundaries, but are less well understood than either divergent or convergent examples. Among transform boundaries, transform continental margins in particular are poorly known and had never previously been investigated by scientific drilling. Drilling in such a setting served to constrain the structure and evolution of the ocean-continent transform boundary, and in particular its deformational history, vertical movements, and subsequent post-rift sedimentary record. The main paleoceanographic objective was to document changes in deep and intermediate waters passing through the eastern equatorial Atlantic. The history of intermediate waters is not well documented outside the North Atlantic Ocean, and the changing geometry of the eastern Atlantic basins since continental breakup in Early Cretaceous times is likely to have affected their ventilation by deep waters.</p> |
