Quaternary deposits in six sediment cores from the Scotia Sea, Antarctica, were examined for the presence of volcanic ash layers. The cores were recovered from water depths of 3369-4025 m. Altogether, 23 ash layers were found, 18 of which have been investigated by electron-probe microanalysis. Deception Island is identified as the source of all the ash layers analyzed. The upper ash layer in each core can be correlated across all six cores, over a distance of -100 km, on the basis of its unusual bimodal composition, major oxide geochemistry and stratigraphie position. Two other ash layers can also be correlated between several of the cores.

Abstract14C dates obtained by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) on monospecific foraminiferal samples from two deep-sea sediment cores raised in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean have been corrected for the difference in 14C composition between atmosphere and sea surface by using a reconstruction of the latitudinal 14C gradient which existed in the Southern Ocean prior to 1962. The corrected AMS-14C data show a reduced sedimentation rate in core MD 84-527 between 25,000 and 10,000 yr BP. For core MD 84-551 the available data suggest that the sedimentation rate was higher during the Holocene than during the glacial period. These changes in sedimentation rates may be attributed to an increased opal dissolution during the last glacial maximum.

Manned underwater robot is an important platform to carry various sensors and working tools to finish the in situ measurement and sampling in the deep sea. Due to its limited loading capacity, the device it will be carried, usually, requires to be able to dive to its working depth with a small volume and weight. According to the application requirements of deep-sea sediment temperature gradient in situ measurement observed, a detector system that can obtain data in situ is designed, which mainly includes a titanium alloy electronic cabin and a temperature probe. A comprehensive design analysis method is used to compare and analyze the ultimate static pressure, stability limit load, bending moment load, and transient temperature field on the underwater operation conditions. Optimal dimensions and filled media in the probe are decided. Finally, the pressure resistance test is finished in the lab, and scientific application is conducted on Jiaolong’s 127th dive in the Northwest Indian Ocean, which successfully sampling the temperature gradient data of deep-sea sediments in the Daxi hydrothermal area. The method introduced in this article can effectively improve the safety and reliability of deep-sea structure and greatly reduce costs throughout the design cycle.
