| Abstract: | In order to evaluate the Holocene palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Ugii Nuur basin,central Mongolia, investigations on chemical and mineralogical properties of lacustrine sedimentswere carried out on a 630 cm sediment core from lake Ugii Nuur. The interpretation of the record isbased on a principal component analysis (PCA) of the elemental composition of the samples. Theresults show that lacustrine deposition started at 10.6 kyr BP. Low lake level conditions wereidentified during the Early Holocene (10.6--7.9 kyr BP). The Mid Holocene (7.9--4.2 kyr BP) wascharacterized by generally higher lake levels and thus higher moisture supply, but it experiencedstrong climatic fluctuations. Arid conditions prevailed from 4.2--2.8 kyr BP and were followed by astable, more humid phase until today. |
