黄土记录的中亚干旱区东部全新世气候与环境演化

选取位于中亚干旱区东部新疆天山地区的两个典型黄土沉积剖面,通过磁学参数（χ_ARM/SIRM）、亮度（L^*）、有机碳/氮同位素（δ¹³C_org和δ¹⁵N）等记录,对研究区内全新世以来的气候环境进行重建。结果表明：早全新世,χ_ARM/SIRM、L^*指示黄土成壤较弱、有机质含量低,δ¹³C_org记录表明区域降水较少,共同反映该时期地表植被覆盖低、相对干旱的气候环境;中晚全新世,χ_ARM/SIRM、L^*和δ¹³C_org记录的湿度逐渐增加,黄土δ¹⁵N偏正变化,指示地表生态系统生产力增强、植被覆盖增加,表明该区域气候适宜期发生在中晚全新世。中亚干旱区东部全新世以来的气候环境特征,与北半球高纬度冰盖、太阳辐射强度的变化密切相关。     

37 ka以来日本海沉积物有机质碳和氮稳定同位素变化及其古海洋学意义

海洋沉积物有机质碳氮稳定同位素(δ¹³C、δ¹⁵N)广泛用于有机质来源示踪、古生产力和古海洋环境重建。日本海沉积物δ¹³C和δ¹⁵N值一个显著特征是在末次冰盛期(LGM)同步负偏,但是对这一现象产生的原因以及他们的演化过程的认识仍然存在明显不足。在本研究中,我们详细调查了37 ka以来日本海中部LV53-23-1岩心沉积物δ¹³C和δ¹⁵N演化历史。结果显示,沉积物δ¹³C和δ¹⁵N分别介于-26.3‰至-22.5‰和1.6‰至6.1‰,低值出现在LGM(26.5~17 ka)暗色层状泥发育时期,指示较强的陆源输入贡献。在Heinrich冰阶1时期(17~14.5 ka),δ¹³C和δ¹⁵N快速正偏,表明日本海海洋环境发生了明显的转换,对应于对马海峡淹没及对马暖流入侵。14.5 ka之后,沉积物δ¹⁵N值恢复到5‰,与开阔大洋海水硝酸盐的δ¹⁵N值近似。我们采用二端员混合模型粗略地估算了有机质来源的相对贡献。LGM时期陆源有机质贡献介于65%至80%,14.5 ka以后海源有机质贡献介于60%至80%。除了增加的陆源有机质贡献以外,LGM时期沉积物δ¹⁵N亏损还涉及如下过程:(1)较高的含Fe沙尘供给提高日本海表层海洋生物固氮效率;(2)缺氧环境盛行减弱成岩作用对沉积物δ¹⁵N影响。37 ka以来,日本海沉积物δ¹³C和δ¹⁵N变化与有机质来源、营养盐的供给、表层生产力和沉积物氧化还原条件相关,实际受海平面和全球气候制约。     

浙江北湖桥岩芯记录的早-中全新世环境演变

通过对浙江余杭北湖桥钻孔(简称BHQ孔)沉积物中总有机碳(TOC)和碳同位素(δ13C_org)的分析,结合碳氮比(C/N)、粒度参数、年代和孢粉资料,探讨了研究区域早中全新世期间气候演变规律。结果表明,BHQ孔所在区域早中全新世期间,环境变化可以划分为3段:①11.4~8.7 ka B.P.,δ13C_org在-27.24‰~-23.4‰范围内波动升高,TOC含量(0.19%~0.69%)呈显著增加趋势,指示气候由冷干逐渐转向温湿。②8.7~8.0 ka B.P.,TOC含量偏低,δ13C_org(-24.91‰~-22.93‰)较为偏正,指示气候呈冷干-温湿-温干。③8.0~4.2 ka B.P.,TOC含量(0.18%~2.18%)和δ13C_org(-26.33‰~-19.09‰)变化频繁且幅度较大,但整体上TOC含量偏高,δ13C_org偏负,指示该段时期内气候总体呈暖湿特征,且存在不同尺度的冷暖波动。其中在8.0~5.7 ka B.P.期间,TOC含量(0.43%~2.18%)明显偏高,δ13C_org(-25.79‰~-23.15‰)明显偏负,指示气候温暖湿润,对应于区域全新世大暖期;此外本段时期内还记录到5.5 ka B.P.和4.2 ka B.P.两次冷事件。由此表明湖沼相沉积物TOC及δ13C_org可以记录降水量和温度的变化状况,能有效指示古气候的变化规律,同时研究结果初步揭示了浙北地区早中全新世期间气候演变特点。

云南大丫口祖母绿颜色环带成因对多阶段成矿的指示意义

云南大丫口祖母绿常出现颜色环带,且伴随明显成分变化,而目前颜色环带的成因仍存争议,相关的多阶段成矿假说尚缺少明确证据。文章通过电子探针和激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子质谱仪对大丫口祖母绿的颜色环带及黑色矿物包裹体进行主微量元素成分分析,并对不同类型岩脉祖母绿中流体包裹体进行显微测温分析,进而探讨祖母绿颜色环带成因与多阶段成矿的联系。成分测试结果表明,从浅绿白核部至绿色边部,V(970×10^-6→10 077×10^-6)、Rb(9.6×10^-6→27.4×10^-6)、Cs(535×10^-6→3 108×10^-6)、Fe(1 376×10^-6→2 199×10^-6)和Ga(4×10^-6→14.7×10^-6)等微量元素的含量急剧增加。结合绿色晶体边部中同生黑色富钒电气石包裹体的分布,有力证明了大丫口祖母绿颜色分带的形成与晶体的多阶段成矿有关。流体包裹体测试结果表明,含矿长石-方解石脉、含矿石英脉和伟晶岩-变粒岩接触带中矿物的流体包裹体盐度范围分别为3.39%~10.36%(NaCl_eq)、5.71%~12.29%(NaCl_eq)和8%~18.72%(NaCl_eq),指示了伟晶岩脉中祖母绿的多阶段结晶,且表明随结晶阶段演变,成矿流体的盐度逐渐升高。同时,成矿流体盐度升高也是晚期云英岩化阶段致色元素含量剧增的原因。

青藏高原东北缘宁南盆地晚古近纪气候变化及其驱动机制

宁南盆地咸化湖相清水营组沉积记录,是研究青藏高原东北缘地区晚古近纪气候变化及其驱动机制的绝佳选择。以宁南盆地古近系清水营组为研究对象,通过野外地质调查、样品采集、石膏主量元素和锶同位素的测试,分析沉积地层记录的化学风化和古气候的变化;并通过与全球气候变化和青藏高原隆升过程的对比分析,研究青藏高原东北缘宁南盆地气候变化的驱动机制。结果表明:宁南盆地清水营组石膏中Al₂O₃/SiO₂、Al₂O₃/Ti₂O、K₂O/Na₂O和87Sr/86Sr等指标可以很好地反映晚古近纪气候变化,在38~36 Ma、34.5~33 Ma、32~31 Ma、30~27 Ma、26~23 Ma这5个时期,化学风化减弱,气候干旱化;在36~34.5 Ma、33~32 Ma、31~30 Ma、27~26 Ma这4个时期,化学风化增强,气候湿润化。晚古近纪38~26 Ma,青藏高原东北缘宁南盆地古气候变化主要受到全球气候变化的驱动;但在26~23 Ma之间,宁南盆地古气候变化受到了青藏高原隆升的重要影响。     

青藏高原末次冰消期气候演化特点及其与格陵兰、欧洲的异同

根据生物、湖泊及冰川地层记录,分析了青藏高原末次冰消期的气候演化特点,并将其与格陵兰、欧洲气候演化序列进行了对比分析.结果表明,末次冰消期的气候演化大致可分为两个阶段:前一阶段为暖期,但波动频繁;格陵兰、欧洲在经历了H1事件后,迅速转暖,Bolling期比Allerod期气候更为适宜;而青藏高原渐趋回暖,夏季风降水逐渐增加,存在由冰融水与降水增加所形成的高湖面,气候温湿,进入一次湖泊扩涨期;大部分记录指示Allerod期比Bolling期气候更为适宜.后一阶段为冷期,格陵兰、欧洲气候恶化并显示出有回返冰期的气候特点;青藏高原气候严酷、荒漠扩展、冰流推进、湖面下降.气候演化的这种异同性表明:格陵兰、欧洲与青藏高原气候系统彼此存在联系,特别是在冷期;而在暖期,气候演化表现出各自的特点.气候演化格局所呈现的可比性,可能是通过冷期的一致而体现的.     

Quantitative climate and vegetation trends since the late glacial on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau deduced from Koucha Lake pollen spectra

Quantitative information on vegetation and climate history from the late glacial-Holocene on the Tibetan Plateau is extremely rare. Here, we present palynological results of a 4.30-m-long sediment record collected from Koucha Lake in the Bayan Har Mountains, northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Vegetation change has been traced by biomisation, ordination of pollen data, and calculation of pollen ratios. The application of a pollen-climate calibration set from the eastern Tibetan Plateau to Koucha Lake pollen spectra yielded quantitative climate information. The area was covered by alpine desert/steppe, characteristic of a cold and dry climate (with 50% less precipitation than today) between 16,700 and 14,600 cal yr BP. Steppe vegetation, warm (∼ 1°C higher than today) and wet conditions prevailed between 14,600 and 6600 cal yr BP. These findings contradict evidence from other monsoon-influenced areas of Asia, where the early Holocene is thought to have been moist. Low effective moisture on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau was likely due to high temperature and evaporation, even though precipitation levels may have been similar to present-day values. The vegetation changed to tundra around 6600 cal yr BP, indicating that wet and cool climate conditions occurred on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau during the second half of the Holocene.     

Study on the Relationship between Large Volcanic Eruptions and Temperature Variation Based on Tree-Ring Data in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau during the Past Millennium

Volcanic eruptions can significantly cool the global troposphere on the time scales from several months up to a decade due to reflection of solar radiation by sulfate aerosols and feedback mechanisms in the climate system. The impact of volcanic eruptions on global climate are discussed in many studies. However, few studies have been done on the impact of volcanic eruption on climate change in China in the past millennium. The 1300-year and 600-year temperature series were reconstructed based on the six tree-ring temperature proxy data in northeastern and southeastern Tibetan Plateau, respectively. Three warm periods occurred in 670-920,1000-1310 and 1590-1930, and three cold periods happened at 920-1000,1310-1590 and 1930-2000 in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. There were two obviously warm periods (1385-1450 and 1570-1820) and two cold periods (1450-1570 and 1820-2000) in southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Contrasting with volcanic eruption chronology, we analyzed the relationship between volcanic activity and temperature variation in the eastern Tibetan plateau during the past millennium using Superposed Epoch Analysis (SEA) method. The results indicated that the temperature decreased one year after large volcanic eruptions located beteen 10°S and 10°N in latitude in northeastern Tibetan Plateau and two years in southeastern Tibetan Plateau. The volcanic eruptions occurred at different latitudes have different impacts on the temperature variations, which may be caused by regional difference, the nature of the eruption, the magnitude of the resulting change in incoming solar radiation, prevailing background climate and internal variability, season, latitude, and other considerations.     

Impact of phased uplift of Tibetan Plateau on environmental changes since late Middle Pleistocene: Palynological records in the three terraces of Middle Shiquan River

Three fluvial terraces in Porougong River in the middle reach of Shiquan River were identified, and the palynological records were investigated to decipher the paleoenvironmental changes in the west inland of the Tibetan Plateau. Three phases of uplift in the west inland of the Tibetan Plateau are suggested to be associated with the third, second, and first fluvial terraces (T₃, T₂, and T₁) being formed at ca.126-25.1 ka B.P., 25.1-4.5 ka B.P., and 4.5-1.3 ka B.P., respectively. The differentiated uplift rate infers that the inland Tibetan Plateau shows an earlier uplift than the surroundings. Coincident with the phased uplift, three episodes of the changes in paleovegetation and paleoclimate since late Middle Pleistocene could be identified by the spore-pollen records, including the forests under the warm-wet climate featured by the assemblage of Picea + Pinus-Betula-Ulmus-Chenopodiaceae-Epheara in the third terrace, the forest-grassy vegetation under the semi-arid and semi-wet climate as shown by the Picea + Pinus-Chenopodiaceae-Epheara assemblage in the second terrace, and the grassland under the cold-dry climate indicated by the Chenopodiaceae-Artemisia-Ephedra assemblage in the first terrace. The association of the paleovegetation and paleoclimate changes with the phased uplift of the fluvial terraces has revealed the important impact of the Plateau uplift.     

昆仑山垭口热水剖面18000年以来的环境变化记录

昆仑山垭口热水剖面的沉积特征观测、粒度分析、化学分析、孢粉分析和年代测定等表明厚270cm的沉积物记录了自18kaBP以来的环境变化信息。资料显示18-11kaBP期间这里气候严寒而干燥,为末次冰期由全盛到消退阶段。在10-7.8kaBP和4.5-3kaBP出现两次较温暖的时期。在6.7-5.6kaBP和2.3kaBP以后有两次明显的变冷。      

Late Holocene temperature fluctuations on the Tibetan Plateau

Proxy data of palaeoclimate, like ice cores, tree rings and lake sediments, document aspects of climate changes on the Tibetan Plateau during the last 2000 years. The results show that the Tibetan Plateau experienced climatic episodes such as the warm intervals during AD 800–1100 and 1150–1400, the “Little Ice Age” between AD 1400 and 1900, and an earlier cold period between the 4th and 6th centuries. In addition, temperatures varied from region to region across the plateau. A warm period from AD 800 to 1100 in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau was contemporaneous with cooling in the southern Tibetan Plateau, which experienced warming between AD 1150 and 1400. Large-scale trends in the temperature history from the northeastern Tibetan Plateau resemble those in eastern China more than the trends from the southern Plateau. The most notable similarities between the temperature variations of the Tibetan Plateau and eastern China are cold phases during AD 1100–1150, 1500–1550, 1650–1700 and 1800–1850.     

青藏高原中部各拉丹冬峰雪冰记录特征

2005年10~11月在青藏高原唐古拉山脉各拉丹冬峰冰川区不同海拔采集了3个雪坑样品,分析结果表明,雪坑中δ¹⁸O和主要离子浓度具有明显的季节变化特征.夏季风期间降水中δ¹⁸O低于其它季节,表明该地区夏季δ¹⁸O的"降水量效应"仍然存在.雪坑中主要离子在非季风期的浓度高于夏季风期.主要离子的相关分析表明,除NH₄⁺、NO₃^-外,雪坑中其它离子浓度之间均存在较好的正相关性.各拉丹冬峰冰川区仍受到南亚季风的影响,但因其位于夏季风影响的边缘区域,其影响程度相对于高原南部较弱;同时也受到大陆性气候的影响,在冬春季节具有较高的粉尘气溶胶沉降.
