Abstract
During Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 339, five sites were drilled in the Gulf of Cadiz and two sites were drilled off the West Iberian margin from November 2011 to January 2012. Total length of recovered core is 5447 m, with an average recovery of 86.4%. The Gulf of Cadiz was targeted for drilling as a key location for the investigation of Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) through the Strait of Gibraltar gateway and its influence on global circulation and climate. The gulf is also a prime area for understanding the effects of tectonic activity on evolution of the Strait of Gibraltar gateway and margin sedimentation.
