Site Summaries (continued)
Site : LORI-08A

Proposed Site:	LORI-08A alternate site to LORI-13A
Priority	? 1A
Position	87 °53.9’N, 138 ° 38.6’E
Water Depth	1124m
Sediment Thickness	450m
Target Depth	450m
Approved Maximum Penetration
Seismic Coverage	Deep Penetration seismic reflection Primary Line(s): AWI 91090 Airgun Location of Site on line (SPor time only): SP 2700
Parasound Coverage	Primary Line(s): AWI Parasound Location of Site on line (SP or Time only)
Objectives	Drill and sample a complete stratigraphic pelagic sediment section to meet the paleoceanographic objectives for understanding the paleo Arctic Ocean circulation, its relationship with global climate, and changes in sediment flux to the basin.
Drilling Program	Drill and sample 3 APC/XCB holes to 450 mbsf and log.
Downhole Logging Program	Ice conditions permitting, the aim is to log at least one hole. At a minimum, formation density, porosity, resistivity, velocity, and gamma-ray spectrum will be logged.
Nature of Rock Anticipated	Silty clays, clays, siltstone, claystone
