Coral ages and coastal morphology indicate punctuated episodic uplift events consistent with seismic slip on the Mai'iu fault. #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: National Science Foundation # Grant: EAR-1524729 #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: National Geographic Society # Grant: CP-012ER-17 #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Taiwan, ROC # Grant: 108-2119-M-002-012 #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Ministry of Education, Taiwan, ROC # Grant: 108L901001 #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: National Taiwan University # Grant: 109L8926 #--------------------------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Goodenough Bay # Location: Papua New Guinea # Northernmost_Latitude: -9.89227 # Southernmost_Latitude: -10.0813 # Easternmost_Longitude: 150.05365 # Westernmost_Longitude: 149.75539 # Elevation: #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: Goodenough U and Th Biemiller2020 # First_Year: 6822 # Last_Year: 243.2 # Time_Unit: AD # Core_Length: # Notes: individual samples, not a core #--------------------------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: # # Sample unitless Sample identification code # Elevation meters Sample elevation above living coral level in meters # Age_ya_unc years uncorrected years before analysis # Age_ya_unc_err years two standard deviation error of uncorrected years before analysis # Age_ya_cor years years before analysis corrected according to: [230Th/238U]activity = 1 - e-l230T + (d234Umeasured/1000)[l230/(l230 - l234)](1 - e-(l230 - l234) T), where T is the age. Decay constants are 9.1705 x 10-6 yr-1 for 230Th, 2.8221 x 10-6 yr-1 for 234U (Cheng et al., 2013), and 1.55125 x 10-10 yr-1 for 238U (Jaffey et al., 1971). Age corrections, relative to chemistry date on October 31th, 2018, were calculated using an estimated atomic 230Th/232Th ratio of 4 (± 2) x 10-6 (Shen et al., 2008). # Age_ya_cor_err years two standard deviation error of corrected years before analysis #
