ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We thank the crew of the Thomas Thompson for their efforts to maintain what must have seemed to them to be a strange track line while we were acquiring the 3-D seismic survey. We also thank John Diebold, Scholtz, Mark Weiderspahn, and Steffan Saustrup for keeping the GI guns, acquisition system, and data quality control hardware and software going. Finally, we thank the ODP staff and crew of the JOIDES Resolution for a job well done. This research used samples and/or data provided by the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP). ODP is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and participating countries under management of Joint Oceanographic Institutions (JOI), Inc. Acquisition and analysis of the seismic data were funded by grants to OSU (JOI-U.S. Science Support Program [USSSP] F01558, NSF OCE-9907205, and NSF OCE-0002410) and to UTIG (NSF OCE-9907205). Data processing was performed using Kingdom Suite software donated to OSU by Seismic Micro-Technology, Inc.
