西太平洋边缘MIS6期以来钙质超微化石的氧同位素记录及其古海洋学意义

对西太平洋边缘不同纬度带的WP7、Ph05-5和Z14-63个柱状岩心进行了超微化石氧同位素分析。结果表明,MIS6期以来这3个岩心中超微化石δ18O值都呈现明显的冰期-间冰期旋回变化特征,冰期δ18O平均值重于间冰期(Z14-6岩心倒数第二次冰期旋回除外),这与冰期时表层海水温度低于间冰期相对应。MIS6—1期超微化石δ18O平均值从WP7岩心到Ph05-5岩心再到Z14-6岩心依次变重,对应于3个岩心所在海区位置年平均SST依次降低。同一岩心样品中浮游有孔虫温跃层种Neogloboquadrina dutertrei δ18O平均值重于超微化石δ18O平均值,这与超微化石和浮游有孔虫N.dutertrei δ18O值各自所代表的不同水层温度特征相吻合。MIS6期以来从WP7岩心到Ph05-5岩心再到Z14-6岩心,超微化石与浮游有孔虫N.dutertrei δ18O平均值之间的差值越来越小,这与3个岩心所在位置上部水体扰动越来越强对应。WP7和Ph05-5两个岩心中超微化石和浮游有孔虫N.du-tertrei氧同位素差值与超微化石下透光带属种Florisphaera profunda百分含量变化特征共同表明MIS6期以来西太平洋暖池核心区和西菲律宾海黑潮源区的温跃层间冰期比冰期深。     

近190ka B.P.以来西太平洋暖池北缘上层海水结构和古生产力演化特征及其控制因素——来自钙质超微化石、有孔虫和同位素的证据

对取自西菲律宾海暖池北缘的Ph05—5岩芯进行了钙质超微化石和有孔虫研究。在利用氧同位素曲线对比和AMS^14C数据进行地层划分的基础上，依据超微化石和有孔虫及其同位素组成等指标，分析了近190 ka B．P以来区域生产力和上层海水结构的演变特征，探讨了其控制因素和所指示的古海洋学意义。钙质超微化石下透光带属种Florisphaera profunda百分含量和基于浮游有孔虫转换函数的温跃层深度变化表明，Ph05—5岩芯所在的热带西太平洋暖池北缘约190kaB．P．以来，营养跃层和温跃层冰期（MIS 6期和5d-2期）浅，间冰期（MIS5e）和全新世深，而MIS5e期是最近两个冰期旋回中营养跃层和温跃层深度最深时期。通过Fprofunda百分含量初级生产力转换方程计算结果和与钙质超微化石绝对丰度的变化显示，冰期初级生产力高，间冰期和全新世初级生产力低，MIS5e期初级生产力为末两次冰期旋回之最低。此外，Ph05—5岩芯△δ^13Cc.wullerstorfi-coccolith和△6δ^12Cc.wullerstorfi-N.dutertrei.差值变化显示，190ka B．P以来表层输出生产力冰期高，间冰期低，其中最为突出的特征也是MIS5e期为生产力输出的最低值期。上层海水结构和生产力的上述变化特征与现代La Nina事件暴发时的海洋环境相当类似，该海区MIS5e期可能是LaNina事件频繁爆发的一段时期，可以与现代LaNina现象类比。同时，根据Wyrtki提出的信风张弛理论推测MIS5e期，由于LaNina事件的频繁暴发黑潮主流应该是增强的。     

冲绳海槽中部MIS 6期以来Florisphaera profunda百分含量变化及其控制因素

对取自冲绳海槽中部的Z14-6岩心进行了钙质超微化石的鉴定统计和有孔虫的氧碳稳定同位素分析,在利用浮游有孔虫氧同位素曲线对比进行地层划分的基础上,通过与邻近区域3个岩心数据进行对比,分析了150kaBP以来该海区钙质超微化石下透光带属种Florisphaera profunda百分含量变化特征及其受控机制。研究结果表明,MIS 6期以来F.profunda百分含量变化具有明显的冰期-间冰期旋回特征,末次冰期旋回中,冰期时F.profunda百分含量低于间冰期,倒数第二次冰期旋回中正好相反。F.profunda百分含量变化的主控因子是黑潮流的强弱变化,倒数第二次冰期旋回中F.profunda百分含量从MIS 5e期末开始降低,由此推测黑潮从MIS 5e期末开始减弱或向洋外偏移,沿岸水入侵冲绳海槽。     

南海南部NS93-5柱样揭示的晚第四纪以来的古海洋学特征

南海北部神狐海域晚末次冰期以来有孔虫特征及其对古海洋环境的指示

南海北部陆坡有大量高分辨率沉积记录,对研究全球变化响应及驱动机制有着举足轻重的作用。本研究选取南海北部神狐海域2007年水合物钻探区Site 6A站位柱状沉积物,开展有孔虫群落、稳定同位素及AMS14 C分析研究,试图了解该区域晚末次冰期以来古海洋和古气候演化历史。结果显示,Site 6A站位柱状沉积物中底栖有孔虫连续分布,优势属种突出,丰度、分异度波动明显。沉积物底界为MIS3期约50kaBP,全新世沉积速率最高,为13.37cm/ka,在MIS2期可能存在由水合物分解导致的地层缺失。有孔虫氧碳同位素特征恢复了冰期/间冰期气候旋回变化及冰盖体积变化,也指示该海域沉积环境氧化还原状况基本不变。通过对具有特殊生态意义的底栖有孔虫Uvigerina、Cibicidoides、Bulimina的相对丰度分析,结合似瓷质壳体百分含量及浮游有孔虫碳同位素,得出在末次冰期40kaBP东亚夏季风增强带来大量降雨,陆径流量增大导致古生产力增加。12~17ka的古生产力高值可能与增强的冬季风携带大量陆源碎屑沉积有关,并使得北大西洋低温、低氧、高营养盐的水团对该站位影响更大。     

中更新世气候转型期西太平洋暖池的表层海水温度和氧同位素变化

通过对大洋钻探(ODP)第130航次807站A孔井深12.54～16.38m沉积物中浮游和底栖有孔虫的稳定同位素δ18 O以及浮游有孔虫壳体的Mg/Ca测试,揭示了中更新世气候转型期(800～1 000kaBP)西太平洋暖池表层海水温度和氧同位素的变化。研究发现,中更新世时期ODP 807站的表层海水温度在25.1～30.9℃之间浮动,平均为28.4℃,接近现代暖池区实测温度值,冰期/间冰期之间的温度差值在1.5～5℃左右,与晚第四纪时的温差相近;同时,表层海水温度和底栖有孔虫氧同位素呈现同步变化的趋势,没有明显的超前或滞后的相位关系,区别于前人在暖池区的研究结果。间冰期时,表层海水温度上升伴随着温跃层变深、盐度降低,与现代西太平洋暖池La Ni珘na状态类似;冰期时则类似于El Ni珘no状态。中更新世气候转型期,西太平洋暖池的表层海水温度、温跃层深度变化受低纬热带驱动影响,都显示出强烈的岁差周期(16.8ka),而底层水氧同位素更多受到高纬的影响。     

冲绳海槽南部末次间冰期以来古海洋学变迁:ODP1202站的记录

对冲绳海槽南部ODP1202站165个沉积物样品进行了CaCO3含量测定和47个样品以浮游有孔虫为主的微体化石定量分析.应用CaCO3含量变化与δ18O曲线的对应关系,初步将1202站岩心划分为MIS 1-5期的沉积.根据浮游有孔虫中暖水、凉水、浅水和深水等生态组合丰度变化,推测冲绳海槽南部晚更新世末次间冰期以来,温跃层呈逐步加深和表层海水温度逐渐升高的趋势.MIS 5期以较浅温跃层和较低表层海水温度为特征,推测与研究区末次间冰期存在上升流有关.末次冰期(MIS 4-2期)时,Pulleniatina obliquiloculata在整个冲绳海槽中普遍以低丰度值出现,标志黑潮主流轴可能迁移出冲绳海槽.

对冲绳海槽南部ODP1202站165个沉积物样品进行了CaCO3含量测定和47个样品以浮游有孔虫为主的微体化石定量分析。应用CaCO3含量变化与δ^18曲线的对应关系，初步将1202站岩心划分为MIS 1—5期的沉积。根据浮游有孔虫中暖水、凉水、浅水和深水等生态组合丰度变化，推测冲绳海槽南部晚更新世末次间冰期以来，温跃层呈逐步加深和表层海水温度逐渐升高的趋势。MIS5期以较浅温跃层和较低表层海水温度为特征，推测与研究区末次问冰期存在上升流有关。末次冰期(MIS4～2期)时，Pulleniatina obliquiloculata在整个冲绳海槽中普遍以低丰度值出现，标志黑潮主流轴可能迁移出冲绳海槽。     

南海南部粉红色 Globigerinoides ruber 冰期旋回及影响因素

对南海南部ODP1143站氧同位素11-5e期大约2ka分辨率的粉红色Globigerinoides ruber进行分析,发现其冰期／间冰期旋回与代表全球冰量的底栖有孔虫氧同位素(δ^18O)的变化相反,即在间冰期时含量低,而冰期时高,与其他海区的记录相反。海水表层温度和温跃层深度转换函数结果以及碎壳率的变化显示,在一定的温度背景下,温跃层深度的变化可能是控制粉红色G．ruber冰期旋回的主要因素,而这段时期南海南部溶解作用的影响则不明显。     

孟加拉湾晚第四纪冰期和间冰期古生产力演变研究

近赤道低纬度地区孟加拉湾属于大陆边缘深海环境,该区的古生产力研究对于了解低纬度地区古气候演变及其对全球气候变化的响应具有重要意义。通过对研究区４个活塞岩心δ１３Ｃ值、高生产力指示种的含量变化、浮游有孔虫与底栖有孔虫丰度、Ｕ＋Ｂ指数等方面的研究发现,研究区受冰川－气候旋回作用影响明显,古生产力波动强烈。冰期时,陆源营养物质供应充分导致生物生产力增大,因而末次冰期最盛期氧同位素第２期时生产力最高,间冰期氧同位素第１、５期时生产力较低。该区氧同位素第３期也出现高生产力的情况,可能与当时研究区气候不稳定有关。氧同位素第３期强烈的西南季风活动使研究区淡水输入增强,进一步增加了冷、暖期生物生产力的差异。

南海北部陆坡ZSQD196PC柱状样末次间冰期以来的古海洋学记录：氧同位素、有孔虫和硅藻

为了解南海北部陆坡末次间冰期以来的古海洋沉积环境演化特征,对研究区ZSQD196PC柱状样有孔虫、硅藻及有孔虫氧同位素资料开展了分析。依据沉积有孔虫、硅藻主要属种的百分含量、丰度及组合特征,将有孔虫划分为3个组合,分别对应于氧同位素MIS1、2、3~4期;将硅藻划分为4个组合,大致对应于MIS1~4期。MIS1期有孔虫以暖水种占优势,Pulleniatina obliquiloculata百分含量显著升高;硅藻丰度低且以热性种占优势,其中冷期出现大量沿岸种,反映相对温暖的气候条件。MIS2~4期有孔虫以冷水种占优势,温跃层种含量相对较高;硅藻丰度高且以广布种占优势,出现沿岸种含量的升高,反映较冷的气候条件。通过对比浮游有孔虫氧同位素,分析讨论了末次盛冰期、Blling—Allerd暖期和新仙女木事件在ZSQD196PC柱状样的沉积响应,揭示了末次冰期中的气候波动。     

白令海DSDP188站氧同位素3期以来的古海洋与古气候记录

白令海南部DSDP188站沉积物生源组分分析显示,该地区表层生产力在MIS3早、晚期(3.3和3.1)以及MIS2期增加,而其他时期表层生产力相应降低,并且表层生产力的变化没有显示明显的冰期与间冰期旋回。沉积物的C/N比值反映了有机碳的混合来源,说明该地区表层生产力可能受陆源营养物质输入的影响。该站位沉积物的非生源组分分析显示,MIS3早、晚期陆源物质输入量增加,反映洋流加强和气候变化。MIS2出现两次陆源物质输入量的增加,显示了洋流和气候的波动。MIS3和末次冰消期碳屑丰度增加,但MIS2降低,指示MIS3和MIS1陆地天然火灾概率大,而MIS2天然火灾概率低,反映间冰期比冰期更容易发生天然火灾。     

Paleoceanography of the central sea of Okhotsk during the middle Pleistocene (350–190 ka) as inferred from micropaleontological data

The distribution of diatoms, radiolarians, planktonic and benthic foraminifers, and sediment components in the fraction >0.125 mm was analyzed in the core obtained from the central Sea of Okhotsk within the frameworks of the Russian-German KOMEX project. The core section characterizes the period 190–350 ka, which corresponds to marine-isotopic stages (MIS) 7 to 10. During glacial MIS 10 and MIS 8, the basin accumulated terrigenous material lacking microfossils or containing them in low abundance, which reflects, along with their composition, heavy sea-ice conditions, suppressed bioproductivity, and bottom environments aggressive toward calcium carbonate. Interglacial MIS 9 was characterized by elevated bioproductivity with accumulation of diatomaceous ooze during the climatic optimum (328 to 320 ka). The water exchange with the Pacific was maximal from 328 to 324 ka ago. Environments became moderate and close to the present-day ones at the end of the optimum exhibiting the possible existence of a dichothermal layer with substantial amounts of the surface Pacific water still flowing into the basin. Similar to interglacial MIS 5e and MIS 1, the “old” Pacific water determined near-bottom environments in the central Sea of Okhotsk during that period, although the influx of terrigenous material was higher, probably reflecting a more humid climate of the region. Slight warming marked the terminal MIS 8 (approximately 260 ka ago). The paleoceanographic situation during interglacial MIS 7 was highly variable: from warm-water to almost glacial. The main climatic optimum of MIS 7 occurred within 220–210 ka, when the subsurface stratification increased and the dichothermal layer developed. Bottom environments during the studied time interval, except for the optimum of interglacial MIS 9, resembled those characteristic of glacial periods: the actively formed “young” Okhotsk water displaced the “old” Pacific deep water.

Paleoceanographic records in the Chukchi Basin, western Arctic Ocean during the late Quaternary

The late Quaternary paleoceanographic changes in the western Arctic Ocean are revealed by quantitative studies of foraminiferal abundance, ice-rafted detritus (IRD) and its mineralogical and petrological compositions, planktonic Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sin.) (Nps)-δ¹⁸O and -δ¹³C, biogenic and non-biogenic components in Core M03 token from the Chukchi Basin during the Second Chinese National Arctic Expedition cruise. Seven IRD events appeared at MIS 7, 5, 3 and 1. These IRD were carried in massive icebergs, which were exported to the Beaufort Sea through the M'Clure Strait Ice Stream, Canadian Arctic Archipelago, and then transported into the Chukchi Basin by the Beaufort Gyre. Low IRD deposition occurred during the glacial times when more extended ice cover and weakened Beaufort Gyre, while the open water condition and the intensified Beaufort Gyre during interglacial periods favored the IRD deposition. Therefore, the IRD events not only indicate the provenance of coarser detritus and ice export events, but also reflect the evolutionary histories of the Beaufort Gyre and North American ice sheet. Seven light Nps-δ¹⁸O and -δ¹³C excursions could respond to enhanced rates of sea ice formation resulting in the production and sinking of isotopically light brines, but was irrelevant to the warm Atlantic water and freshwater inputs. Whereas, the heavy Nps-δ¹⁸O and -δ¹³C values separately reflect the lessened Arctic freshwater and Pacific water, and well-ventilated surface water from the continental shelf and halocline water. Variations of CaCO₃ content and planktonic foraminiferal abundance during the interglacial and glacial periods can demonstrate the incremental or diminishing input of the Atlantic water, while the total organic carbon (TOC) and opal contents increased and decreased during the glacial and interglacial periods, respectively, which could be related to the TOC degradation, opal dissolution and redox conditions of interface between the bottom water and sediments.     

Sea surface temperature variations in the southwestern South China Sea over the past 160 ka

Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the southwestern South China Sea have been reconstructed for the past 160 ka using the Uk37 paleothermometer from the core MD01-2392. The temperature differences between glacial times (MISs 6 and 2) and interglacial times (MISs 5.5 and 1) are 2.2~2.5 ℃. Younger Dryas event during the last deglaciation was documented in both the planktonic foraminiferal δ18O and SST records. After MIS 5.5, SSTs displayed a progressive cooling from 28.6 to 24.5 ℃, culminating at the LGM. During this gradual cooling period, warm events such as MISs 5.3, 5.1 and 3 were also clearly documented. By comparison of SST between the study core and Core 17954, a pattern of low or no meridional SST gradients during the interglacial periods and high meridional SST gradients during the glacial periods was exhibited. This pattern indicates the much stronger East Asian winter monsoon at the glacial than at the interglacial periods. Spectral analysis gives two prominent cycles: 41 and 23 ka, with the former more pronounced, suggesting that SSTs in the southern SCS varied in concert with high-latitude processes through the connection of East Asian winter monsoon.     

Holocene and Pleistocene dissolution cycles in deep-sea cores of Baffin Bay and Davis Strait: Palaeoceano-graphic implications

Calcium-carbonate dissolution has been studied in several grab samples and piston cores from Baffin Bay and Davis Strait ranging in water depth from 200 to 2300 m. The intensity of dissolution was determined from examining: (1) the ratio of arenaceous to calcareous benthonic foraminifera; (2) the ratio of benthonic to planktonic foraminifera; (3) the relationships between the dissolution-susceptible and dissolution-resistant foraminifera; (4) the degree of foraminiferal test fragmentation; and (5) the relationships between plankton tows and the fauna in the surface sediments. All core tops and grab samples from Baffin Bay surface sediments below 600–900 m water depth demonstrated intense dissolution of calcium carbonate. Sediments below 900 m were biogenic carbonate free, indicating 100% foraminiferal loss due to dissolution. Possible causes of substantial undersaturation in calcium carbonate of Baffin Bay Bottom Water are very low temperatures, and higher concentrations of carbon dioxide. All cores also demonstrated intense dissolution during interglacial or interstadial isotope stages 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Similarities in planktonic foraminiferal assemblages suggested the presence of similar bottom-water masses during these periods. The preservation state of biogenic carbonate debris in glacial isotope stages 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 is similar to the assemblage found in the water at present.
