Since 1993 to the present the Sequence Stratigraphy group has been studying the rise and fall of sea level and its effects on sedimentation patterns on the Atlantic Margin. During this time we have drilled and analyzed coreholes on the New Jersey, Delaware, and Virginia coastal plains (ODP Legs 150X, and 174AX; ICDP-USGS Eyreville, Va corehole). We have also drilled coreholes on the modern middle continental shelf (IODP Expedition 313) and the modern outer continental shelf and slope (ODP Legs 150 and 174A).
