This Scientific Results volume covers Leg 160 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel JOIDES Resolution, Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, to Naples, Italy, Sites 963–973, 7 March–3 May 1995. Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 160 is the first in a two-leg program to investigate the tectonic and paleoceanographic history of the Mediterranean Sea. It represents the fourth leg of scientific drilling in the Mediterranean, after Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Legs 13 and 42A and ODP Leg 107. One focus of this leg is on accretionary and collisional processes associated with the convergent boundary between the African and Eurasian plates. The other focus is on the origin and paleoceanographic significance of sapropels, organic-rich layers that are intercalated in the Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments of the Mediterranean basin.
