Abstract
Expedition 369 planned for September 2017 will drill several holes on the Naturaliste Plateau and the adjacent Mentelle Basin off southwest Australia. The unique tectonic and paleoceanographic setting of this region offers an outstanding opportunity to investigate a range of scientific issues of global importance, especially rapid climate change during the onset of the Cretaceous hot greenhouse. Equally fascinating and poorly documented is the sedimentary, tectonic and geodynamic history of the region. Expedition 369 provides a unique opportunity to study how the Earth's climate and oceans responded to elevated levels of atmospheric CO2 and the role of local tectonic events in the onset of anoxic conditions.
