冲绳海槽末次盛冰期孢粉组合的古环境指示意义

冲绳海槽西陆坡末次冰期的高沉积速率为高分辨率研究提供了良好的材料,DGKS-9602钻孔通过氧同位素年代对比,总长931cm的岩心保存了相当于氧同位素阶段1～3的沉积记录．孢粉分析的结果表明,OIS1和OIS三阶段松属花粉含量占优势,平均含量达65％以上,而OIS2阶段松属百分含量明显降低,草本植物花粉含量增加,超过50％．松属与蒿属等草本花粉间的相互消长指示了海平面的升降,并与氧同位素曲线的变化趋势相似．末次盛冰期中国东部大陆架覆盖的植被以草地为主,由于冲绳海槽在末次盛冰期时的绝大部分沉积物质与大陆架的剥蚀作用有关,来自长江中上游山地较远距离带来的物质和山地花粉相对减少．与中国东部尘土花粉结果对比发现,现代东海表层蒿属与禾本科比值（A／P）所指示的纬度正好与长江中下游平均纬度相当,而冲绳海槽末次盛冰期的A／P比值所指示的陆地环境比现代高7个纬度,证明末次盛冰期植被带南移,与前人陆地记录的结果相吻合．     

近50a来科尔沁地区沙漠化土地的动态监测结果与分析

在明确了沙漠化土地的程度分级及其指标、监测方法的基础上,对科尔沁地区近50 a来的沙漠化土地进行了遥感动态监测和分析。结果表明:科尔沁地区20世纪50年代未至70年代中期,是沙漠化土地扩展速度最快的一个时期,总面积增加了9 084 km²。从70年代中期到80年代后期,沙漠化土地继续呈快速增长之势,增加了9 624 km²;进入90年代,沙漠化过程呈现出逆转的趋势,沙漠化土地总面积由1987年的61 008 km²,减少到2000年的50 142 km²,减少了10 866 km²。就近50 a来沙漠化土地变化的整体而言,经历了发展-再发展-逆转的过程。到2000年,科尔沁地区的沙漠化态势依然是严峻的。但从整个发展过程来看,沙漠化已呈现逆转的趋势。整个区域的生态环境在改善,环境容量在提高,继续发展下去,有望进入良性循环以保障生态环境与社会经济的可持续发展。     

青藏高原末次冰消期气候演化特点及其与格陵兰、欧洲的异同

根据生物、湖泊及冰川地层记录,分析了青藏高原末次冰消期的气候演化特点,并将其与格陵兰、欧洲气候演化序列进行了对比分析.结果表明,末次冰消期的气候演化大致可分为两个阶段:前一阶段为暖期,但波动频繁;格陵兰、欧洲在经历了H1事件后,迅速转暖,Bolling期比Allerod期气候更为适宜;而青藏高原渐趋回暖,夏季风降水逐渐增加,存在由冰融水与降水增加所形成的高湖面,气候温湿,进入一次湖泊扩涨期;大部分记录指示Allerod期比Bolling期气候更为适宜.后一阶段为冷期,格陵兰、欧洲气候恶化并显示出有回返冰期的气候特点;青藏高原气候严酷、荒漠扩展、冰流推进、湖面下降.气候演化的这种异同性表明:格陵兰、欧洲与青藏高原气候系统彼此存在联系,特别是在冷期;而在暖期,气候演化表现出各自的特点.气候演化格局所呈现的可比性,可能是通过冷期的一致而体现的.     

末次冰消期以来赛里木湖沉积记录的气候突变

末次冰消期以来的气候突变事件的时空变化特征及其区域响应是古气候环境变化研究的重要内容,然而亚洲中部干旱区末次冰消期以来的气候突变记录较少,尤其缺少末次冰消期期间快速转暖过程的区域响应.本研究通过对位于亚洲中部干旱区的新疆西天山中部亚高山湖泊赛里木湖湖心采得的长300 cm的SLM2009钻孔沉积物的碳酸盐含量和粒度变化特征的分析,在 14 个 AMS 14C测年数据的基础上,探讨了末次冰消期约23. 4 cal. ka B. P.以来亚洲中部干旱区的气候突变事件记录及其区域响应过程.结果表明:赛里木湖湖心钻孔沉积物完整记录了 H1 ( 17. 5 ~ 15. 2 cal. ka B. P.)、 YD ( 12. 6 ~ 11. 7 cal. ka B. P.)冷事件以及 B-A ( 15. 2 ~12. 9 cal. ka B. P.)暖事件等末次冰消期气候突变事件以及全新世以来的10. 5 ka、 8. 2 ka、 5. 5 ka、 4. 2 ka、 2. 8 ka和小冰期冷事件,这与亚洲中部干旱区已有的气候突变事件记录相吻合,表明末次冰消期以来亚洲中部干旱区具有相似的气候突变演化模式.同时这些气候突变事件与高纬冰芯以及低纬石笋氧同位素记录的一致性则表明气候突变具有全球性影响,受相同的成因机制因素控制.     

末次冰消期滇西地区气候突变事件:湖泊孢粉记录

在末次冰消期总体持续增温的过程中,全球气候经历了一系列以"快速增温/降温"为主要特征的千-数十年尺度的突变事件.由于这些气候突变事件具有明显的高频特性,需要在全球范围不同地区开展更多高分辨率的古气候研究,用于进行突变事件的对比和机制的探讨.本研究对比滇西南腾冲青海湖、滇西北泸沽湖和高山湖泊天才湖约2万以来的孢粉、炭屑记录,揭示了中国滇西地区末次冰消期的植被演替与气候变化历史,探讨了末次冰消期存在的气候突变事件.结果表明,滇西地区末次冰消期开始转暖发生在约19 ka(1 ka=1000 cal. a B. P.);冰消期开始以后,滇西地区气候普遍依次在 17. 5±0. 5~15. 2±0. 1 ka期间、 15. 2±0. 1~14. 3±0. 1 ka期间、 14. 3± 0. 1~12. 9±0. 1 ka期间和12. 9±0. 1~11. 7±0. 2 ka期间存在冷干-逐渐变暖变湿-明显更暖湿-温度湿度略有下降等这几个突变事件,它们在时间上分别对应于H1冷事件、波令前增暖期、 B/A暖期和YD冷事件;滇西地区比较一致地在 11. 7±0. 2 ka进入全新世.除此之外,滇西北地区在约17. 7~17. 0 ka期间可能还存在一次短暂的较明显的暖湿期.对末次冰消期气候变化机制的探讨认为,末次冰消期开始转暖及以后逐渐增温的趋势主要受夏季太阳辐射量从约20 ka逐渐增加,到11 ka左右达到峰值的控制;而末次冰消期发生的气候突变事件如H1冷事件、波令前增暖期、 B/A暖期和YD冷事件主要是受大西洋温盐环流的影响,同时温室气体浓度的变化也起了重要的调制作用.     

Origins and genesis of loess deposits in central Spain,as indicated by heavy mineral compositions and grain‐size variability

The formation of loess deposits strongly depends on the availability of deflatable dust‐sized material. Identification of source areas and mechanisms of dust production is essential for an appropriate characterization of related palaeoenvironmental conditions. So far, little research has been done on loess deposits in the Mediterranean region and information about mechanisms of dust production is very rare. In this context, it is not clear from where the loess deposits from the upper Tagus Basin in central Spain originated. The main objective of this study was to find out whether these loess deposits were formed primarily by mountain processes and fluvial comminution, or whether they have their origin in the weathering of Tertiary marls in the centre of the Madrid Basin. A further concern was to link the determined source areas with loess formation mechanisms and concomitant environmental contexts. Following a comprehensive approach using heavy minerals and grain‐size data, together with information on stratigraphic features and geomorphic positions, different local loess sources could be identified. This study shows that during the last 35 kyr a major proportion of the Tagus loess deposits was deflated from river floodplains, while the mountain region of the Iberian Range was identified as a significant source of respective floodplain sediments. Based on heavy mineral compositions and dating results, it was found that during Heinrich Stadial 3, sediment supply from the Iberian Range strongly increased, suggesting an environmental shift from initially warmer towards colder temperatures in late Marine Isotope Stage 3. Furthermore, it was found that grain‐size patterns clearly indicate maximum wind strengths during Heinrich Stadial 3, followed by Heinrich Stadial 2 and Heinrich Stadial 1. These results demonstrate that the formation of dust‐sized particles in this part of the Mediterranean operated similar to many other places in temperate and continental regions, and that weathering processes linked to hot and dry environments were only of minor importance.     

印度尼西亚多岛海末次冰期最盛期以来的穿越流活动

印度尼西亚穿越流是西太平洋和印度洋之间热量传输的重要载体,穿越流的活动由潜在地影响El Nino和季风现象进而影响到全球气候变化。通过对爪哇海SHI9006岩心LGM以来氧同位素、有孔虫与CaCO3沉积量、浮游有孔虫浅层水种与深层水种比值反映的古温跃层变化等的研究,得出结论：研究区末次冰期氧同位素2期穿越流活动微弱,冰后期穿越流活动增强;特别是冰消期终止期IA,穿越流活动由弱迅速增强,是冰川消融、海平面上升,印度尼西亚岛弧古海水通道开放的结果。     

A "critical" climatic evaluation of last interglacial (MIS 5e) records from the Norwegian Sea

Sediment cores from the Norwegian Sea were studied to evaluate interglacial climate conditions of the marine isotope stage 5e (MIS 5e). Using planktic forminiferal assemblages as the core method, a detailed picture of the evolution of surface water conditions was derived. According to our age model, a step-like deglaciation of the Saalian ice sheets is noted between ca. 135 and 124.5 Kya, but the deglaciation shows little response with regard to surface ocean warming. From then on, the rapidly increasing abundance of subpolar forminifers, concomitant with decreasing iceberg indicators, provides evidence for the development of interglacial conditions sensu stricto (5e- ss ), a period that lasted for about 9 Ky. As interpreted from the foraminiferal records, and supported by the other proxies, this interval of 5e- ss was in two parts: showing an early warm phase, but with a fresher, i.e., lower salinity, water mass, and a subsequent cooling phase that lasted until ca. 118.5 Kya. After this time, the climatic optimum with the most intense advection of Atlantic surface water masses occurred until ca. 116 Kya. A rapid transition with two notable climatic perturbations is observed subsequently during the glacial inception. Overall, the peak warmth of the last interglacial period occurred relatively late after deglaciation, and at no time did it reach the high warmth level of the early Holocene. This finding must be considered when using the last interglacial situation as an analogue model for enhanced meridional transfer of ocean heat to the Arctic, with the prospect of a future warmer climate.
