Geochemical data obtained from X-ray fluorescence, physical properties, total organic and inorganic carbon content (TOC/TIC),
and diatom analysis from a 6.61-m-long sedimentary sequence near the modern northern shore of Lake Zirahuen (101° 44′ W, 19°
26′ N, 2000 m asl) provide a reconstruction of lacustrine sedimentation during the last approximately 17 cal kyr BP. A time
scale is based on ten AMS 14C dates and by tephra layers from Jorullo (AD 1759-1764) and Paricutin (AD 1943-1952) volcanoes. The multiproxy analyses presented
in this study reveal abrupt changes in environmental and climatic conditions. The results are compared to the paleo-record
from nearby Lake Patzcuaro. Dry conditions and low lake level are inferred in the late Pleistocene until ca. 15 cal kyr BP,
followed by a slight but sustained increase in lake level, as well as a higher productivity, peaking at ca. 12.1 cal kyr BP.
This interpretation is consistent with several regional climatic reconstructions in central Mexico, but it is in opposition
to record from Lake Patzcuaro. A sediment hiatus bracketed between 12.1 and 7.2 cal kyr BP suggests a drop in lake level in
response to a dry early Holocene. A deeper, more eutrophic and turbid lake is recorded after 7.2 cal kyr BP. Lake level at
the coring site during the mid Holocene is considered the highest for the past 17 cal kyr BP. The emplacement of the La Magueyera
lava flows (LMLF), dated by thermoluminiscence at 6560 ± 950 year, may have reduced basin volume and contributed to the relative
deepening of the lake after 7.2 cal kyr BP. The late Holocene (after 3.9 cal kyr BP) climate is characterized by high instability.
Extensive erosion, lower lake levels, dry conditions and pulses of high sediment influx due to high rainfall are inferred
for this time. Further decrease in lake level and increased erosion are recorded after ca. AD 1050, at the peak of Purepechas
occupation (AD 1300–1521), and until the eighteenth century. Few lacustrine records extend back to the late Pleistocene—early
Holocene in central Mexico; this paper contributes to the understanding of late Pleistocene-Holocene paleoclimates in this
region. 相似文献

Geochemical records of bivalve shells have been increasingly studied in the last decade to obtain information on climate conditions.
In this paper we present stable isotope compositions of living and prehistoric shells of freshwater mussels (Unionidae) and
their relationships with climate conditions in a shallow lake environment of Lake Balaton, West-Central Hungary. Physical
conditions and stable oxygen isotope compositions of lake water samples were monitored where living bivalves were collected.
Comparisons between seasonal variations in ambient temperature, water composition and within-shell isotopic variations indicate
that the shells of Unio pictorum do reflect local changes at high resolution and thus can be used to study past conditions. Additionally, shells covering
the last two decades were gathered at several locations along the lake in order to determine spatial and temporal variations
in the shells’ isotopic compositions as a function of weather conditions. As an application, prehistoric shells collected
in archaeological excavations were analysed in order to study past environmental variations. Climate variations during the
Late Copper Age (5460–4870 cal. yr BP) have been assumed on the basis of geomorphological and archaeozoological observations
at the site Balatonkeresztúr-Réti-dűlő (south of Lake Balaton), that suggested increasing humidity as a cause of changes in
settlement location and domestic livestock husbandry. Stable carbon and oxygen isotope compositions of prehistoric bivalve
shells were analyzed from excavations representing five archaeological subphases (Boleráz subphase, 5460–5310 cal. yr BP;
two transitional subphases around 5310 cal. yr BP; Early Classic subphase, 5310–5060 cal. yr BP; Late Classic subphase, 5040–4870 cal.
yr BP). The analyses revealed significant negative C and O isotope shifts in the transitional subphases relative to the earlier
and later subphases. The isotopic variations indicate that the local climate became relatively wet and possibly cold around
5310 cal. yr BP, then it returned to drier (and likely warmer) conditions during the Classic subphases. This interpretation
is in agreement with previous studies on climate changes related to the “5.3 ky event” in the European continental area and
the North Atlantic Region, indicating an Atlantic influence in the Carpathian Basin. 相似文献

A temperature reconstruction using chironomids was attempted at Egelsee, Switzerland, a site where pollen and macrofossil
records showed a correspondence between vegetation and climatic changes inferred by other proxies in Europe. The general pattern
of temperature changes inferred from chironomids during the Late Glacial [i.e. cold temperatures between ca. 16,500 and 14,800 cal
BP, close to present-day temperature between 15,000 and 13,000 cal BP and colder temperatures during the Younger Dryas (YD)],
and the major temperature changes of the Holocene (i.e. the Younger Dryas–Holocene transition and the Late Holocene cooling
trend) at Egelsee, were mirrored in other European climate reconstructions using various proxies. However, the amplitude of
temperature changes during the YD was smaller than reconstructed by other proxies at various sites, and the 8,200 years BP
event was not apparent. These differences between records were probably due to the dominance of Corynocera ambigua, with percentages reaching 60% in parts of the Egelsee sequence. This taxon was not present in any of the 103 lakes used
for the transfer function and its absence may have yielded less accurate inferences. Its presence in samples only associated
with cold inferences at Egelsee suggests that this taxon is a cold indicator. However, it was also found in warm Danish lakes
and the factors that determine the presence of C. ambigua remain unexplained. Most samples had a poor fit to temperature and instead, dissolved organic carbon seemed to be a factor
influencing the chironomid assemblages during the Holocene. These results illustrate the need to better understand the ecology
of chironomids and to disentangle the various factors that affect chironomid communities through time. Ultimately, such information
will lead to more accurate temperature reconstructions. 相似文献

Since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum, hydrology in Europe has been influenced by both climate changes, and since Neolithic
times, an increase in human activity. Paleohydrological reconstructions, especially from lake studies, can help identify the
respective impact of these two factors. The present work focuses on a lacustrine geosystem, the Sarliève paleolake in the
Massif Central (France), in an unusually dry, temperate area. The lake sediment geometry (core drillings, geotechnical methods),
and the geochemical and mineralogical characterization of the catchment rocks and soils, and of the lacustrine deposits, indicate
major variations in paleohydrology during the last 12,000 years as dated by 14C, palynology and tephrochronology. In addition, a model quantifying detrital versus biochemical lacustrine components was
developed to identify hydrological trends. The data show that the Sarliève area was characterized mainly by remarkably dry
conditions, hence sharpening the climatic trends at middle latitudes in Western Europe. Three main hydrological phases are
distinguished since the Late Glacial: (1) 13.7–7.5 ka cal BP, a dominant dry climate, with a peak at ca. 8 ka cal BP, leading
to a lowstand in water level and unusual mineral authigenesis, zeolite then dolomite, constituting up to 60% of the lacustrine
sediments; (2) 7.5 to ca. 5.3 ka cal BP, repeated short-duration hydrological alternations that could have been climate-driven:
lowstands in water level with up to 60% biochemical minerals versus higher water levels with <10% biochemical minerals; (3)
5.3 ka cal BP to the Middle Ages (i.e. beginning in the 5th century AD), a hydrological trend towards perennial high water
level, with mainly detrital sediments, probably linked to climate evolution, except periods of obvious human-driven drying
during the last two millennia. 相似文献

Climatic and environmental changes since the last glacial period are important to our understanding of global environmental
change. There are few records from Southern Tibet, one of the most climatically sensitive areas on earth. Here we present
a study of the lake sediments (TC1 core) from Lake Chen Co, Southern Tibet. Two sediment cores were drilled using a hydraulic
borer in Terrace 1 of Lake Chen Co. AMS 14C dating of the sediments showed that the sequence spanned >30,000 years. Analyses of present lake hydrology indicated that
glacier melt water is very important to maintaining the lake level. Sediment variables such as grain size, TOC, TN, C/N, Fe/Mn,
CaCO3, and pollen were analyzed. Warm and moderately humid conditions dominated during the interval 30,000–26,500 cal year BP.
From 26,500 to 20,000 cal year BP, chemical variables and pollen assemblages indicate a cold/dry environment, and pollen amounts
and assemblages suggest a decline in vegetation. From 20,000 to 18,000 cal year BP, the environment shifted from cold/dry
to warm/humid and vegetation rebounded. The environment transitioned to cold/humid during 16,500–10,500 cal year BP, with
a cold/dry event around 14,500 cal year BP. After 10,500 cal year BP, the environment in this region tended to be warm/dry,
but exhibited three stages. From 10,500 to 9,000 cal year BP, there was a short warm/humid period, but a shift to cold/dry
conditions occurred around 9,000 cal year BP. Thereafter, from 9,000 to 6,000 cal year BP, there was a change from cold/dry
to warm/humid conditions, with the warmest period around 6,000 cal year BP. After 6,000 cal year BP, the environment cooled
rapidly, but then displayed a warming trend. Chemical variables indicate that a relatively warm/dry event occurred around
5,500–5,000 cal year BP, which is supported by time-lagged pollen assemblages around 4,800 cal year BP. Our lake sediment
sequence exhibits environmental changes since 30,000 cal year BP, and most features agree with records from the Greenland
GISP2 ice core and with other sequences from the Tibetan Plateau. This indicates that environmental changes inferred from
Lake Chen Co, Southern Tibet were globally significant. 相似文献

Lacustrine sediments in north-eastern Germany have rarely been used as archives to address the effects of climate change and
human impact on both lake ecosystem and landscape evolution for this region. Sacrower See, a hardwater lake located in Brandenburg,
provides a unique sediment record covering the past 13,000 years which was used to reconstruct climatic and anthropogenic
forcing on lacustrine sedimentation. Time control is provided by 12 AMS 14C dates of terrestrial plant remains, the Laacher See Tephra, and the onset of varve formation in AD 1870 (80 cal. BP). Geochemical
(including XRF logging of major elements, CNS analyses as well as δ13Corg and δ15N measurements) and pollen analyses allowed detecting detailed environmental changes in the sediment record. During the Younger
Dryas cold phase increased soil erosion and hypolimnetic oxygen depletion enhanced the nutrient supply to the lake water causing
eutrophic conditions. The beginning of the Holocene is characterized by large changes in C/N ratios, total sulphur, δ13C of bulk organic matter as well as in K, Si, and Ti, reflecting the response of the lake’s catchment to climatic warming.
Reforestation reduced the influx of detrital particles and terrestrial organic matter. The first, rather weak evidence of
human impact is documented only in the pollen record at 5,500 cal. BP. However, until 3,200 cal. BP sedimentological and geochemical
parameters indicate relatively stable environmental conditions. During periods of intense human impact at around 3,200, 2,800,
and 900 cal. BP peaks in Ti and K represent phases of increased soil erosion due to forest clearing during the Bronze Age,
Iron Age, and Medieval Times, respectively. In general, greater variation is observed in most variables during these perturbations,
indicating less stable environmental conditions. The steady rise of biogenic silica accumulation rates during the Holocene
reflects an increasing productivity of Sacrower See until diatoms were outcompeted by other algae during the last centuries.
The applied multi-proxy approach fosters the interpretation of the sediment record to reveal a consistent picture of environmental
change including environmental factors controlling lake ontogeny and the effects of human impact. 相似文献

The character and impact of climate change since the last glacial maximum (LGM) in the eastern Mediterranean region remain poorly understood. Here, two new diatom records from the Ioannina basin in northwest Greece are presented alongside a pre-existing record and used to infer past changes in lake level, a proxy for the balance between precipitation and evaporation. Comparison of the three records indicates that lake-level fluctuations were the dominant driver of diatom assemblage composition change, whereas productivity variations had a secondary role. The reconstruction indicates low lake levels during the LGM. Late glacial lake deepening was underway by 15.0 cal kyr BP, implying that the climate was becoming wetter. During the Younger Dryas stadial, a lake-level decline is recorded, indicating arid climatic conditions. Lake Ioannina deepened rapidly in the early Holocene, but long-term lake-level decline commenced around 7.0 cal kyr BP. The pattern of lake-level change is broadly consistent with an existing lake-level reconstruction at Lake Xinias, central Greece. The timing of the apparent change, however, is different, with delayed early Holocene deepening at Xinias. This offset is attributed to uncertainties in the age models, and the position of Xinias in the rain shadow of the Pindus Mountains. 相似文献

We explored the potential for using Pediastrum (Meyen), a genus of green alga commonly found in palaeoecological studies, as a proxy for lake-level change in tropical South
America. The study site, Laguna La Gaiba (LLG) (17°45′S, 57°40′W), is a broad, shallow lake located along the course of the
Paraguay River in the Pantanal, a 135,000-km2 tropical wetland located mostly in western Brazil, but extending into eastern Bolivia. Fourteen surface sediment samples
were taken from LLG across a range of lake depths (2–5.2 m) and analyzed for Pediastrum. We found seven species, of which P. musteri (Tell et Mataloni), P. argentiniense (Bourr. et Tell), and P. cf. angulosum (Ehrenb.) ex Menegh. were identified as potential indicators of lake level. Results of the modern dataset were applied to
31 fossil Pediastrum assemblages spanning the early Holocene (12.0 kyr BP) to present to infer past lake level changes qualitatively. Early Holocene
(12.0–9.8 kyr BP) assemblages do not show a clear signal, though abundance of P. simplex (Meyen) suggests relatively high lake levels. Absence of P. musteri, characteristic of deep, open water, and abundance of macrophyte-associated taxa indicate lake levels were lowest from 9.8
to 3.0 kyr BP. A shift to wetter conditions began at 4.4 kyr BP, indicated by the appearance of P. musteri, though inferred lake levels did not reach modern values until 1.4 kyr BP. The Pediastrum-inferred mid-Holocene lowstand is consistent with lower precipitation, previously inferred using pollen from this site, and
is also in agreement with evidence for widespread drought in the South American tropics during the middle Holocene. An inference
for steadily increasing lake level from 4.4 kyr BP to present is consistent with diatom-inferred water level rise at Lake
Titicaca, and demonstrates coherence with the broad pattern of increasing monsoon strength from the late Holocene until present
in tropical South America. 相似文献

Serpent River Bog lies north of North Channel, 10 m above Lake Huron and 15 m below the Nipissing Great Lake level. A 2.3 m
Holocene sequence contains distinct alternating beds of inorganic clastic clay and organic peat that are interpreted as evidence
of successive inundation and isolation by highstands and lowstands of the large Huron-Basin lake. Lowstand phases are confirmed
by the presence of shallow-water pollen and plant macrofossil remains in peat units. Twelve 14C dates on peat, wood and plant macrofossils combined with previously published 14C ages of lake-level indicators confirm much of the known early Holocene lake-level history with one notable exception. A
new Late Mattawa highstand (8,390 [9,400 cal]–8,220 [9,200 cal] BP) evidenced by a sticky blue-grey clay bed is tied to outburst
floods of glacial Lake Minong during erosion of the Nadoway drift barrier in the eastern Lake Superior basin. A subsequent
Late Mattawa highstand (8,110 [9,040 cal]–8,060 [8,970 cal] BP) is attributed to enhanced meltwater inflows that first had
deposited thick varves throughout Superior Basin. Inundation by the Nadoway floods and possibly the last Mattawa flood were
likely responsible for termination of the Olson Forest (southern Lake Michigan). A pollen diagram supports the recognized
progression of Holocene vegetation, and defines a subzone implying a very dry, cool climate about 7.8–7.5 (8.6–8.3 cal) ka
BP based on the Alnus crispa profile during the Late Stanley lowstand. A new date of 9,470 ± 25 (10,680–10,750 cal) BP on basal peat over lacustrine clay
at Espanola West Bog supports the previous interpretation of the Early Mattawa highstand at ca. 9,500 (10,740 cal) BP. The
organic and clastic sediment units at these two bogs are correlated with other records showing coherent evidence of Holocene
repeated inundation and isolation around northern Lake Huron. Taken together the previous and new lake-level data suggest
that the Huron and Georgian basin lakes were mainly closed lowstands throughout early Holocene time except for short-lived
highstands. Three of the lowstands were exceptionally low, and likely caused three episodes of offshore sediment erosion which
had been previously identified as seismo-stratigraphic sequence boundaries. 相似文献

This study used organic matter in oligotrophic Lake Constance (southern Germany) to reconstruct lake environment and to disentangle
the multiple factors, such as climate change and human impacts, which influence sedimentation in large lakes. A sediment core
from Upper Lake Constance, which represents 16,000 years of Late Glacial and Holocene lake history, was analysed for organic
biomarkers, hydrogen index and elements calcium, strontium, and magnesium. Magnetic susceptibility was measured to establish
a high-resolution stratigraphic framework for the core and to obtain further information about changes with respect to relative
allochthonous versus autochthonous sedimentation. Dinosterol—a biomarker for dinoflagellates—and calcium have low concentrations
in Younger Dryas sediments and consistently high concentrations between 10,500 and 7,000 cal. years BP. These variations are
attributed to changes in lake productivity, but are not reflected in the proportion of total organic carbon within the sediment.
During the Younger Dryas and between 6,000 and 2,800 cal. years BP, concentrations and accumulation rates of land-plant-derived
C29-steroids (β-sitosterol, stigmastanol and stigmasterol), in combination with a relatively low HI, indicate periods of enhanced
terrigenous input to the lake. For the Younger Dryas, higher runoff can be attributed to a cold climate, leading to decreased
vegetation cover and increased erosion. After 6,000 cal. years BP, high terrestrial input may be explained by enhanced precipitation.
Biomarker and HI results, in combination with archaeological studies, raise the question as to whether lakeshore settlements
affected sedimentation in Upper Lake Constance between 6,000 and 2,800 cal. years BP. 相似文献

Two cores were recovered from raised peat bogs on the tropical northern Leizhou Peninsula, south China. Multiple sediment
variables including organic matter (OM) content, the stable carbon isotope signature of OM, low-frequency magnetic susceptibility
and degree of humification, indicate that the regional paleoclimate played an important role in determining the nature of
peat that accumulated. Based on comparison with other climate proxies, the bulk peat δ13C record was interpreted as an indicator of variation in the East Asian (EA) summer monsoon, and to a lesser extent, the Indian
summer monsoon, during the last glacial period between ~49 and 10 cal ka BP. More negative bulk δ13C values reflect wetter and warmer conditions, and thus a strong EA summer monsoon. More positive values indicate drier and
cooler conditions. A warm and wet period occurred between ~46 and 28 cal ka BP, implying a strengthening of the EA summer
monsoon. A climate shift occurred at ~22 cal ka BP and the driest and coldest period appeared between ~19 and 16 cal ka BP,
suggesting weakening of the EA summer monsoon. After ~12 cal ka BP, climate shifted towards wetter and warmer conditions again.
It has been suggested that variations in orbitally induced solar insolation played a role in the last glacial climate of the
study region. Several millennial—scale arid and cold phases characterized by C4 plants, or by more positive δ13C values during periods when C3 plants dominated, show agreement with the Greenland GISP2 ice core and the Chinese stalagmite
records. Interactions between high northern latitude cold air advection and summer moisture transported across the tropical
ocean, and the migration of the mean position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) would have favored these millennial–scale
phases. Additionally, changes in heat transport to the North Atlantic would also have influenced climate in the region. 相似文献

This paper presents a multi-proxy climate record of an 11 m long core collected in Lago Puyehue (southern Chile, 40°S) and
extending back to 18,000 cal yr BP. The multi-proxy analyses include sedimentology, mineralogy, grain size, geochemistry,
loss-on-ignition, magnetic susceptibility and radiocarbon dating. Results demonstrate that sediment grain size is positively
correlated with the biogenic sediment content and can be used as a proxy for lake paleoproductivity. On the other hand, the
magnetic susceptibility signal is correlated with the aluminium and titanium concentrations and can be used as a proxy for
the terrigenous supply. Temporal variations of sediment composition evidence that, since the Last Glacial Maximum, the Chilean
Lake District was characterized by three abrupt climate changes superimposed on a long-term climate evolution. These rapid
climate changes are: (1) an abrupt warming at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum at 17,300 cal yr BP; (2) a 13,100–12,300
cal yr BP cold event, ending rapidly and interpreted as the local counterpart of the Younger Dryas cold period, and (3) a
3,400–2,900 cal yr BP climatic instability synchronous with a period of low solar activity. The timing of the 13,100–12,300
cold event is compared with similar records in both hemispheres and demonstrates that this southern hemisphere climate change
precedes the northern hemisphere Younger Dryas cold period by 500 to 1,000 years.
This is the third in a series of eight papers published in this special issue dedicated to the 17,900 year multi-proxy lacustrine record of

Seven vibro-cores were collected from three shallow lakes of the Gabon (Kamalété, Nguène, Maridor) along a 300-km west–east
transect close to the Equator. These lakes are located in very distinct landscapes: coastal forest-savanna mosaic, rain forest
and savanna with colonising forest, respectively. Core chronologies were established by radiocarbon dating. Study of these
lacustrine archives (textural variables, clay minerals, organic matter components, δ13C, pollen) allowed comparison of late Holocene environmental changes recorded at each site and with results from other studies.
Lake Kamalété indicates minor climatic deterioration (increased drying and greater seasonality) between 1,410 and 500 cal.
years BP, which is also recognised in southern Cameroon and east-central Africa. Lake Nguène was surrounded by dense moist
forest throughout the last 4,110 years, but shows significant deterioration from ~2,800 cal. years BP, a phenomenon seen at
nearby sites. Lake Maridor shows a decline of forest initiated a little after 3,800 cal. years BP, which indicates timing
that is distinct from the two other sites. This was probably a response to local conditions (i.e. outlet damming). Although
the three lakes display generally parallel climatic trends perhaps linked to SST oscillations, there is not perfect coherence
between these three sites. Differences among the three basins may be attributable to local factors like groundwater hydrology
and slope instabilities of such shallow lake systems in this equatorial region. 相似文献

Diatom-based inferences of post-glacial hydrological change from a sedimentary record from Felker Lake, British Columbia,
show millennial-scale pacing of climate over the past approximately 11670 calendar years with change at ca. 8140 cal. year BP,
ca. 6840 cal. year BP, ca. 5700 cal. year BP, and ca. 2230 cal. year BP. Early postglacial diatom assemblages are dominated
by fragilaroid taxa, suggesting that cool and moist climate conditions and relatively high lake levels prevailed at this time.
Early Holocene warming near ca. 8140 cal. year BP promoted Cyclotella bodanica var. lemanica, a fall bloomer competitive in limnological conditions associated with warmer water and stratified conditions. Short-lived
peaks of Stephanodiscus parvus/minutulus between ca. 6340 cal. year BP and ca. 5860 cal. year BP indicate periodic increases in nutrient availability and prolonged
mixing likely associated with long cool and moist spring seasons. The diatom-inferred depth of Felker Lake increased during
the mid-Holocene to reach a record high-stand at ca. 5860 cal. year BP. Large changes in hydrological variability and terrestrial
vegetation at Felker Lake occurred after ca. 2230 cal. year BP when high-amplitude centennial-scale fluctuations in diatom-inferred
lake depth and salinity are observed. Change is first documented in terrestrial vegetation at this time by a shift from open
Pinus parklands to a landscape that periodically supported populations of Cupressaceae. Three record low-stand high-salinity events
are reconstructed between ca. 1910 cal. year BP and ca. 1800 cal. year BP, ca. 1030 cal. year BP and ca. 690 cal. year BP,
and ca. 250 cal. year BP and ca. 140 cal. year BP. The low lake-level episode of ca. 1030 cal. year BP–ca. 690 cal. year BP
is coeval with the Medieval Warm Period (ca. 1000 cal. year BP–ca. 600 cal. year BP), a period of intense drought in western
North America. Post-glacial hydrological change at Felker Lake is coherent with regional, hemispherical, and global paleoclimate
events, suggesting that millennial-and centennial-scale shifts in water availability are a persistent feature of the climate
of western North America. 相似文献

The hitherto longest found lake sediment sequence on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands, was analysed with respect to lithology, chronology, diatoms, Pediastrum, pollen and spores, mosses, mineralogy, and sediment chemistry. During the ca. 5000 year long development the sediments were influenced by frequent tephra fall-outs. This volcanic impact played a major role in the lake's history during two periods, 4700–4600 and 2800–2500 BP, but was of importance during the lake's entire history with considerable influence on many of the palaeoenvironmentally significant indicators. The large and complex data set was analysed and zonated with different types of multivariate analysis. This resulted in a subdivision of the sequence into 8 time periods and 21 variables. Redundancy analysis (RDA) of this data set, both without and with the tephra periods, and with 4–6 of the variables as explanatory environmental variables, reveal that climatic/environmental signals are detectable. The palaeoclimatic picture that emerged out of the tephra noise suggests that the first 100 years were characterized by mild, humid conditions. This was followed by a less mild and humid climate until ca. 4000 BP when a gradual warming seems to have started, coupled with increased humidity. These mild and humid conditions seem to have reached an optimum slightly after 3000 BP. At ca. 2500 BP a distinct climatic deterioration occurred with colder and drier conditions and long seasons with ice cover. This arid, cold phase probably reached its optimum conditions at ca. 1500 BP, when slightly warmer conditions might have prevailed for a while. Except for the modern sample with rather mild climate, the last 1400 years seem to have been fairly arid and cold, and the effects of the frequent volcanic activity during this period is only vaguely seen in the records. 相似文献

The coastal evolution of the El Abalario area (Huelva, southern Spain) during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene is reinterpreted after a refinement of the available geochronology by means of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. New data come from the analysis of soft sediment deformation, palaeosols, geomorphological mapping, and published seismic surveys on the onshore and offshore Gulf of Cadiz.The present structure of El Abalario dome resulted from the complex interaction of littoral-catchment processes and sea-level changes upon an emergent coastal plain, conditioned by the upwarping of the underlying Pliocene–Pleistocene prograding deltaic sequence. Upwarping is probably related to escape of over-pressurized fluids, accompanied by dewatering, prior to (?) and during OIS (Oxygen Isotopic Stage) 5. Continued upwarping produced the large NW–SE gravitational fault of Torre del Loro (TLF) in the southwestern flank of the dome, roughly parallel to the present coastline during OIS 5–OIS 4. The resulting escarpment favoured the accumulation of aeolian sand dunes (units U1, U2, and U3) from OIS 5 to early OIS 1. Unit U1 (OIS 5) ends upwards in a supersurface with a thick weathering profile that suggests moist and temperate climatic conditions. Unit U2 accumulated mainly during OIS 4 and OIS 3 with prevailing W/E winds. The supersurface between U2 and U3 records a part of OIS 2, with relative low sea level. Sedimentation of unit U3 took place during the Last Deglaciation (radiocarbon and OSL ages) with prevailing W/SW winds, under a temperate moist climate, that became more arid towards the top (Holocene). A major supersurface with an iron crust-like layer (SsFe) developed during the Holocene Climatic Optimum (OIS 1) under wetter and more temperate conditions than before, fossilizing the TLF. The supersurface is covered by younger aeolian dunes (U4, U5, U6, and U7) transported by W–SW winds since the Late Neolithic–Chalcolithic cultural period (5.0 ky cal BP). 相似文献

晚冰期以来河西走廊花海古湖泊演化过程及其对气候变化的响应 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
通过分析河西走廊花海古湖泊沉积物中的盐类矿物组成,结合年代序列,重建了花海晚冰期以来湖泊演化过程及其对气候变化的响应。结果表明:晚冰期及新仙女木时期,花海湖泊以芒硝沉积为主,属硫酸盐型湖泊,湖水的盐度较高且周期性波动频繁;全新世早期(10.47 cal ka BP以前),湖泊以洪泛堆积和风成沉积为主,揭示了湖泊萎缩、甚至干涸;全新世早期至全新世中期(10.47~8.87 cal ka BP)盐类矿物以碳酸盐沉积为主,为碳酸盐型湖泊,湖水淡化,湖泊水位开始逐渐回升;全新世中期(8.87~5.50 cal ka BP)盐类矿物呈现一定的波动变化,其中,8.8 cal ka BP 时期盐类矿物以硫酸盐沉积为主,湖泊由碳酸盐型转化为硫酸盐型,湖水咸化,盐度升高;随后盐类矿物以碳酸盐沉积为主,湖泊由硫酸盐型转化为碳酸盐型,湖水盐度降低、湖泊扩张;全新世中晚期(5.50 cal ka BP以来)出现沉积间断,表明中晚全新世时期湖泊逐渐萎缩。在全新世期间,花海湖泊千年尺度演化过程揭示了该区域气候干湿状况受亚洲季风和西风共同控制的影响。 相似文献
