| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Rock magnetic measurements were carried out on Sites 808 and 1174 before the laboratory shutdown (pandemic).
A Bachelor student graduated his thesis on Site 808.
Results on Sites 808 and 1174 (magnetostratigraphy) were presented at the EGU virtual conference.
I exchanged with collaborators on our joint papers (to be submitted in 2021).

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
The laboratory had to shutdown because of the pandemic.
We required an extension of funds for 2021 which was granted.
Submission of a companion paper from collaborators was delayed for the same reasons (lab shutdown because of pandemic). Everything is expected to go smoothly in 2021.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
One manuscript on Site C0023 and two data reports on Sites 808 and 1174, respectively, are going to be submitted in 2021.
A technical assistant would be hired to help with the last measurements.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
The budget will be used to hire a technical assistant to perform last measurements.
Pubication fees might also be covered.
