- ODP and IMAGES Drilling. Leading proponents (Wei and Chung) from this Department proposed an Ocean Drilling Program to drill the southern Okinawa Trough. ODP Site 1202 penetrated 420 m below seafloor with great success. A history of Kuroshio for the past 60 kyrs has been documented for the first time (Wei et al., 2004, Zhao et al., 2004). More than a dozen long core IMAGES along the western Pacific margin from 6oS to 45oN were also obtained and studied.
- East Asian Monsoon History. The summer East Asian monsoons were intensified during the interglacial stages during the past 870 thousand years (Wei, et al., 2003). Short-time scale variations of summer and winter monsoons over the past tens of thousand years in Taiwan were reconstructed using pollen records (Liew et al., 2001; Yu et al., 2002).
