新疆富蕴地区晚第四纪松散沉积的孢粉研究

据对新疆富蕴吐尔洪及干沟等剖面的孢粉分析,揭示这些剖面沉积时期的气候温和干燥,植被为荒漠草原或稀树草原。孢粉分析结果及14C年龄数据说明,这些沉积物的地质时代属全新世。通过对取自断层两侧沉积物的孢粉分析研究,获知此断层的形成时间不会早于全新世     

新疆巴里坤晚志留世地层及四射珊瑚

新疆巴里坤地区晚志留世地层比较发育,层序清楚,化石丰富,其中珊瑚和腕足类最多.巴里坤地区上志留统叫阔克赛尔克组,又分上下两亚组.下亚组丰产床板珊瑚和四射珊瑚.如Holmophyllum,Kodonophyllum,Tryplasma,Chlamydophyllum,Rhizophyllum,Kyphophyllyum,Entelophyllia,Cymatelasma,Cyathophylloides,Micula.Pilophyllum,Pseudamplexus,Ramulophyllum,SPongophyllum,Spongophyl-loides,Nanshanophhpllum and Thecia,Mesofavosites,Favosites,Pentamerus等,厚76—221m.上亚组仅含一些蜂巢珊瑚(Favosites),厚158—170m.阔克赛尔克山上志留统阔克赛尔克组的生物群落是很特殊的,可与吉林省二道沟区小绥河组.辽宁省昭乌达盟敖汉地区的下石碑组及内蒙自治区百灵庙北的巴特敖包群对比,显然,阔克赛尔克组的地质时代相当晚志留世罗德洛阶.     

Late Quaternary record of sea-level changes in the Antarctic

The Late Quaternary sediment sequence of the continental margin in the eastern Weddell Sea is well suited for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. Two cores from the upper slope, which contain the sedimentary record of the last 300 ky, have been sedimentologically investigated. Age models are based on lithostratigraphy and are correlated with the stable isotope record. As a result of a detailed analysis of the clay mineral composition, grain size distributions and structures, this sedimentary record provides the first marine evidence that the Antarctic ice sheet extended to the shelf edge during the last glacial.The variations in volume and size of the ice sheet were also simulated in numerical models. Changes in accumulation rate and ice temperature are of some importance, but the model revealed that fluctuations are primarily driven by changes in eustatic sea-level and that the ice edge extended to the shelf edge during the last glacial maximum. This causal relationship implies that the maximum ice extension strongly depends on the magnitude and duration of the sea-level depression during a glacial period. The results of the sedimentological investigations and of the numerical models show that the Antarctic ice sheet follows glacial events in the northern hemisphere by teleconnections of sea level.

The impact of the Laacher See Volcano (11 000 yr B.P.) on terrestrial vegetation and diatoms

Late-glacial lake sediments containing the Laacher See Tephra (LST, 11 000 yr B.P.) have been analyzed for their pollen and diatom content at three sites at varying distances from the volcano and on different bedrock geologies. The aim was to test the null hypothesis that this major volcanic eruption had no effect on terrestrial pollen or aquatic diatom assemblages. The pollen spectra at all sites show a short-lived increase in grass pollen following the LST. Partial redundancy analysis and associated Monte Carlo permutation tests suggest, however, that the LST had no statistically significant effect at two sites but it had a statistically significant impact on the pollen assemblages at the site nearest (60 km) to the volcano.The diatom assemblages at the three sites changed individualistically after the LST deposition, with increases inAchnanthes minutissima at one site, an expansion ofAulacoseira species at another, and an increase ofAsterionella formosa andFragilaria brevistriata at the third site. Partial redundancy analysis and associated permutation tests suggest a statistically significant change in diatoms in relation to the LST and associated changes in sediment lithology at the one site situated on acidic bedrock. No significant impacts were found at the sites on volcanic or calcareous rocks. Due to the interaction between tephra and sediment lithology, it is not possible to conclude if the statistically significant diatom changes were a direct result of the LST deposition or an indirect result of lithological changes following LST deposition.This is the first paper in a series of papers published in this issue on high-resolution paleolimnology. These papers were presented at the Sixth International Paeolimnology Symposium held 19–21 April, 1993 at the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. Dr A. F. Lotter and Dr. M. Sturm served as guest editors for these papers.
