Acknowledgments

This research was conducted with samples and data from the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, an international marine research program dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of the Earth, the deep biosphere, climate change, and Earth processes by sampling and monitoring subseafloor environments. We thank the shipboard scientists, the Marine Works Japan laboratory technicians, and the crews of the D/V Chikyu for their help and company during Expedition 316. We also wish to express our appreciation to Dr. Lallan Gupta of IODP and to the shore-based IODP staff for all of their pre- and postexpedition efforts. X. Zhao wants to extend special thanks to the paleomagnetism group of the Institute for Rock Magnetism at the University of Minnesota for their support. Financial support for various parts of this research was provided by grants from the US Science Support Program of the Consortium for Ocean Leadership and National Science Foundation grants EAR 0633891 and 0911331 to X. Zhao. Funding was also provided by the Center for the Study of Imaging and Dynamics of the Earth, Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, at the University of California Santa Cruz, contribution number 507.
