The systemic analyses have been carried out in this paper to the paleolake shorelines, paleolake sediments and paleoclimatic proxies of 20 lakes, in which there were 12 kaBP dating data on the Tibetan Plateau. The results showed that the paleolake level had apparently risen during 14-11 kaBP, the glaciers melting period, in the Tibetan area and Northwest China. Especially, much more increasing amplitude supplied by thawy glaciers water occurred than in the best period of Holocene. The temperate-humid climate around 12 kaBP appeared in the Tibetan area and even in the whole China. This event may be compared with the Bolling/Allerod warm period which was reflected by Europe and Greenland ice core records. It showed that the B/A event was not a regional one in the North Atlantic area.
Low magnetic susceptibility, low Sr content and hence high Rb/Sr ratio in the lake sediment sequence indicate a weak chemical
weathering process under arid and cold climate of the Little Ice Age in a single closed lake watershed. According to different
geochemical behavior between rubidium and strontium in earth surface processes, variation of Rb/Sr ratios in the lake sediment
sequence can be used as an effective geochemical proxy with definite climatic significance of chemical weathering in watershed.
Unlike chemical weathering process in tropic zone and modern temperate-humid climate, concordant changes in both Sr content
and magnetic susceptibility with δ18O values of Dunde ice core suggest that the weak chemical weathering was controlled by air temperature during the Little Ice
Age maximum. After the Little Ice Age, chemical weathering intensity was controlled also gradually by precipitation with increasing
in temperature. 相似文献
Through the analyses on sediment lithology,210Pb and137Cs dating, carbonate content, Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca of Ostrocod, and carbon and oxygen stable isotope of carbonate of gravity core from Cuoe Lake in the Naqu area, Tibetan Plateau, the paleolimnology was studied to investigate the environmental variation in the central Tibetan Plateau in the last 200 years. It is inferred that the environmental variation has undergone two stages. The climate was arid in the early 100 years, while it became warmer and more humid in the later 100 years, with a period of 20 years for humidity change. 相似文献
