Data report: age-depth model of the Corinth synrift sequence, Site M0079, IODP Expedition 381

Abstract

We present a high-resolution age-depth model for Site M0079, drilled in the Corinth rift, central Greece, during International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 381. To establish the model, we use available age constrains derived from postcruise research, including ages from 14C analysis and visible tephra layers, together with published ages from U/Th analysis, magnetostratigraphy, and relative paleointensity data. The age-depth model is built for the entire length of the Site M0079 drill hole using a probabilistic modeling approach in OxCal software. The resulting age-depth model provides a robust chronological framework for sediment accumulation within the Gulf of Corinth, constraining the most recent phase of synrift deposition over the past 800,000 y.
