Age Dating and the Orbital Theory of the Ice Ages: Development of a High-Resolution 0 to 300,000-Year Chronostratigraphy
Tập 27 Số 1 - Trang 1-29 - 1987
AbstractUsing the concept of “orbital tuning”, a continuous, high-resolution
deep-sea chronostratigraphy has been developed spanning the last 300,000 yr. The
chronology is developed using a stacked oxygen-isotope stratigraphy and four
different orbital tuning approaches, each of which is based upon a different
assumption concerning the response of the orbital signal recorded in the data.
Each appr...
Ice-Volume Forcing of East Asian Winter Monsoon Variations in the Past 800,000 Years
Tập 44 Số 2 - Trang 149-159 - 1995
AbstractParticle-size measurements of some typical loess-soil samples taken in
different localities of the Chinese Loess Plateau demonstrate that the grain
size ratio of <2 μm/>10 μm (%) can be used as an indicator of variations in
intensity of the East Asian winter monsoon winds. Grain-size curves of the Baoji
and Weinan sections show that this proxy indicator is very sensitive to
loess-soil alte...
Holocene Treeline History and Climate Change Across Northern Eurasia
Tập 53 Số 3 - Trang 302-311 - 2000
AbstractRadiocarbon-dated macrofossils are used to document Holocene treeline
history across northern Russia (including Siberia). Boreal forest development in
this region commenced by 10,000 yr B.P. Over most of Russia, forest advanced to
or near the current arctic coastline between 9000 and 7000 yr B.P. and retreated
to its present position by between 4000 and 3000 yr B.P. Forest establishment
an...
The Marine Oxygen Isotope Record in Pleistocene Coral, Barbados, West Indies
Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 181-196 - 1978
The reef-crest coral Acropora palmata from late Pleistocene reefs on Barbados
has recorded the same global variations in oxygen isotopes as planktonic and
benthonic foraminifera. Although the record of oxygen isotopes in Acropora
palmata is discontinuous, it offers several advantages over the isotope records
from deep-sea sediments: (1) the coral grows at water depths of less than 5 m;
(2) the sam...
Lake Levels and Sequence Stratigraphy of Lake Lisan, the Late Pleistocene Precursor of the Dead Sea
Tập 57 Số 1 - Trang 9-21 - 2002
AbstractLake Lisan, the late Pleistocene precursor of the Dead Sea, existed from
∼70,000 to 15,000 yr B.P. It evolved through frequent water-level fluctuations,
which reflected the regional hydrological and climatic conditions. We determined
the water level of the lake for the time interval ∼55,000–15,000 cal yr B.P. by
mapping offshore, nearshore, and fan-delta sediments; by application of sequen...
Paleoclimatic Significance of the Mineral Magnetic Record of the Chinese Loess and Paleosols
Tập 37 Số 2 - Trang 155-170 - 1992
AbstractThe origins of the magnetic susceptibility variations of the Chinese
loess and paleosols are explored by scanning and transmission electron
microscopy of magnetic extracts, and by magnetic modeling of magnetic hysteresis
data, to provide quantified estimates of the major magnetic components.
Microscopy identifies several distinct size and shape characteristics in the
magnetic carriers. Lit...
Episode of Strengthened Summer Monsoon Climate of Younger Dryas Age on the Loess Plateau of Central China
Tập 39 - Trang 45-54 - 1993
AbstractThe Baxie loess section, just east of the Tibetan Plateau, contains
evidence showing that the Asian monsoon climate experienced an abrupt reversal
near the end of the last glacial age. Rapid deposition of dust under cool, dry
full-glacial conditions gave way to an interval of soil development and reduced
dust influx attributed to a strengthening of the warm, moist summer monsoon. A
subsequ...
A Record of Holocene Climate Change from Lake Geochemical Analyses in Southeastern Arabia
Tập 66 Số 3 - Trang 465-476 - 2006
AbstractLacustrine sediments from southeastern Arabia reveal variations in lake
level corresponding to changes in the strength and duration of Indian Ocean
Monsoon (IOM) summer rainfall and winter cyclonic rainfall. The late
glacial/Holocene transition of the region was characterised by the development
of mega-linear dunes. These dunes became stabilised and vegetated during the
early Holocene and ...
A 110,000-Yr Record of Explosive Volcanism from the GISP2 (Greenland) Ice Core
Tập 45 Số 2 - Trang 109-118 - 1996
AbstractThe time series of volcanically produced sulfate from the GISP2 ice core
is used to develop a continuous record of explosive volcanism over the past
110,000 yr. We identified ∼850 volcanic signals (700 of these from 110,000 to
9000 yr ago) with sulfate concentrations greater than that associated with
historical eruptions from either equatorial or mid-latitude regions that are
known to have...
Late Quaternary Lake-Level Record from Northern Eurasia
Tập 45 Số 2 - Trang 138-159 - 1996
AbstractLake records from northern Eurasia show regionally coherent patterns of
changes during the late Quaternary. Lakes peripheral to the Scandinavian ice
sheet were lower than those today but lakes in the Mediterranean zone were high
at the glacial maximum, reflecting the dominance of glacial anticyclonic
conditions in northern Europe and a southward shift of the Westerlies. The
influence of th...
