Position: 15°32.85'N, 58°42.20'W
Water Depth: 5052 m
Total Penetration: 500 mbsf
East-west seismic profile through Site NBR-10A; VE: 3.7.
Objective: The objective of proposed Site NBR-10A is to determine the physical properties of the accretionary prism, décollement zone, and the underthrust section at the deformation front.
Drilling Program: No cores.
Nature of Rock Anticipated: Pelagic and hemipelagic sediments, local distal turbidites in the underthrust section.
