The bug-bear of high-resolution stratigraphy in the deep sea is sediment mixing by animals at the sea floor. Here we address several theoretical and practical problems in removing the effects of mixing. The objective of 1-cm stratigraphy is to recover a record of earth and ocean history more detailed than that known today. The research reported here concentrates on foraminiferal ooze, in which 1-cm of accumulation usually corresponds to an interval of less than 1000 yrs. In a later chapter, we try to construct a 1-cm stratigraphy of box cores of ooze from Ontong-Java Plateau. The theory we use to reconstruct events recorded at 1-cm intervals has, in part, already been developed. It is based on Goldberg and Koide''s model of a discrete sediment mixed layer. This report develops a number of useful formulas to account for the effects of dissolution, winnowing, fragmentation and horizontal sediment influx. The problem of finite mixing rates is also accommodated by a simplification of some results from Guinasso and Schink. Dating the reconstructed record with C14 is a matter of knowing contemporaneous mixed layer ages. In this light, this report describes a number of properties of mixed layer ages and the C14 record in general.

Come back in time with me to explore the life and times of Ancil Foster Haines (1871 - 1937) - a "Pioneer Shipping Man," the "Dean of Puget Sound Shipping Men," a "Man of Wise Counsel and Sound Judgement," a man who loved his family deeply and balanced work and family life well while he was Vice President and General Manager of the American Mail Line and other shipping companies. He was my grandpa whom I never met. "Talking with Grandpa" is a fascinating journey back in time to discover how he worked his way up from a farm boy in Ohio - His Dad had died from Civil War wounds when he was young - to become one of the most valued and respected senior shipping officials on the West Coast in the 1920s and 1930s. This personal biography includes both fact and fascinating fiction of the Roaring Twenties, the Spanish Flu epidemic, WW-1, the Great Depression and many other challenges to America and his career. My "visits" with him in Seattle''s Smith Tower and the things he shared with me there are so real that I wonder whether they really came from me at all. His understanding of the subtle buildup of Japan''s Imperial Navy (to WW-II) which his ship''s captains were reporting, America''s need for a sound ,non-fiat, monetary system, along with how to be a loving, providing and protecting father to his family of ten children are described among many other quaint stories of family life, all written later by his children. Fascinating details and photographs are included of living through the Great Depression, the labor union strife on Seattle''s docks, the terrible living conditions in "Hooverville," testifying before a Congressional Committee, meeting President Harding and grandpa Ancil''s business meetings with Robert Dollar and other shipping figures. But lying out of sight behind all of these facts lay grandpa''s solid Christian upbringing as a boy and the firm foundation it gave him for life such that R. Stanley Dollar wrote of him in his Memorium... Ancil Haines was, "One of the builders of the Pacific Northwest who gave freely and generously of his time and effort in the interests of the community... and a loyal friend whose kindliness and modesty were as unfailing as his adherence to the highest standards of honor and integrity...". Talking with Grandpa was an eye opener for me when I finally got to meet him and it may be for you as well.
