I would like to thank the crew and technical staff of the JOIDES Resolution for their help in collecting and analyzing the data during Leg 205. I greatly enjoyed the many helpful and enlightening discussions with M. Kastner and the Leg 205 Shipboard Scientific Party. I would also like to acknowledge the two reviewers, I. L'Heureux and A. Dale, for their constructive comments. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to CanadaODP for supporting my cruise participation and for reimbursing the travel expenses. M.
