南海沉积物记录了丰富的高原隆升剥蚀、古海洋、东亚季风和区域构造演化信息，是研究东亚季风和古环境演化的理想材料.但是，由于南海沉积环境复杂，物质来源多样，使得沉积物定年和环境气候探讨的难度加大.为此，本文选取南海中央海盆的SCS-01钻孔作为研究对象，建立其准确的年代框架，综合利用磁学和地球化学分析方法，探讨沉积物物源及其对东亚季风演化的指示.首先，通过对沉积物样品的岩石磁学特征分析，表明沉积物的主要载磁矿物为低矫顽力的假单畴磁铁矿，载磁矿物颗粒大小均一、含量变化小，基本符合建立地磁场相对古强度(Relative Paleointensity, RPI)曲线的“均一性”标准.在此基础上利用磁化率和非磁滞剩磁对天然剩磁进行归一化处理得到RPI,将钻孔的RPI曲线与全球或区域的标准RPI曲线(Sint-200, NAPIS-75和SCS-PIS)进行比较，得到了6个年龄控制点，并结合AMS-14C测年结果，建立了南海中央海盆75 ka以来的时间框架.SCS-01钻孔的RPI记录和其他全球性观测结果的一致性表明，南海的沉积物记录了全球尺度的地磁场古强度行为模式.综合稀土元... 相似文献

下蜀黄土是中国南方地区典型的第四纪风尘堆积,是低纬季风区气候变化的重要地质记录.但是,下蜀黄土的沉积年代问题一直未能得到有效解决.明确其起始堆积的年代对于深入理解晚第四纪亚洲大陆干旱化进程、东亚季风演化和亚热带区域环境变迁具有重要意义.本文针对这一科学问题对下蜀黄土进行了系统的年代学研究.磁性地层学结果表明,江苏的仪征青山剖面和镇江大港钻孔岩芯下蜀黄土地层中均存在松山/布容(M/B)古地磁极性倒转记录(这也是首次在下蜀黄土中发现古地磁M/B界线),确认最早的下蜀黄土堆积要早于中更新世,为探讨下蜀黄土底界的年代问题提供了重要的古地磁约束.以此为基础,结合剖面上部的光释光(OSL)测年结果,推算出下蜀黄土的底部年龄约为0.9Ma,这是迄今所获得的下蜀黄土最老年龄,与安徽宣城红土堆积底部年龄大致相当.下蜀黄土的开始堆积指示了亚洲大陆干旱区域在晚第四纪的进一步扩张,它是江淮亚热带地区气候显著变干和冬季风增强的直接证据.我们认为,这可能主要受到全球变冷和北半球高纬冰量增加的驱动,是中国南方地区对全球降温"0.9Ma事件"的区域响应. 相似文献

湖相沉积是过去气候环境变化研究的重要地质记录.东北平原在早-中更新世时期曾发育一个巨型湖泊(松嫩古湖),对这一古湖的演化历史和机制仍需多钻孔的进一步研究.本研究针对东北平原杜蒙(HL)钻孔沉积物开展了26Al/10Be同位素年代学、古地磁年代学、磁化率地层学和岩石磁学研究，结果表明：(1)令字组和林甸组湖相沉积的界线为约900 ka;(2)林甸组的磁化率明显高于令字组，令字组的高矫顽力弱磁性矿物贡献相对较大；(3)林甸组磁化率的升高可能与湖平面降低、水动力增强、入湖的强磁性矿物增多或者氧化还原条件改变，从而生成了强磁性铁的硫化物有关；(4)约900 ka前后，松嫩古湖萎缩，可能与中更新世气候转型期间大西洋深层翻转流(Atlantic meridional overturning circulation,简称AMOC)减弱致使热带辐合带(Intertropical Convergence Zone,简称ITCZ)南移，以及海平面下降造成更多陆地暴露地表，水汽输送距离增加，进而共同导致东亚夏季风降水减少有关. 相似文献

~(10)Be产率-地磁场转换方程的建立及其在黄土研究中的应用 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
建立了10Be产率-古地磁场强度的便捷转换方程,并以洛川剖面最近80ka的10Be浓度记录结合磁化率等气候代用指标为研究对象,利用全新的LGM分离方法将影响黄土10Be浓度的气候因素和地磁场因素进行了分离,成功示踪了末次冰期阶段拉尚(Laschamp(42ka))、莫诺湖(Mono Lake(32ka))等古地磁漂移事件,进而定量重建了最近80ka地磁场强度变化历史.重建结果与全球典型地磁场强度曲线(SINT-200,NAPIS75等)具有几乎同步的变化特征,从而表明采用LGM方法和新的转换方程在利用黄土10Be记录示踪和重建古地磁场强度研究中的实用意义及应用前景.通过分析表明,季风区降水的不均匀性是导致黄土10Be浓度无法直接示踪古地磁场漂移事件的主要原因,而来自粉尘源区的尘降10Be浓度和尘降磁化率具有"准恒定分布"特征. 相似文献

沉积物记录的地磁场强度首先提供了模拟地磁场演化的数据约束,其次提供了沉积物的年龄信息. 本文报道了菲律宾海西北部岩芯记录的地磁场相对强度,并结合岩石磁学和沉积学性质探讨了影响强度的各个因素. 除底部红粘土层的局部磁偏角偏转可能揭示了沉积后改造以外,磁化率各向异性和地磁场方向特征表明沉积物为原状沉积. 岩石磁学性质表明沉积物符合磁性均一性,可以记录可靠的地磁场强度. 由于红粘土层及其下部的磁偏角异常,本文讨论其上部约125 ka的结果. 常规归一方法获得的两个地磁场强度参数NRM/ARM(特征剩磁和非磁滞剩磁比值)和NRM/κ(特征剩磁和磁化率比值)与其它记录对比得到时间-深度对比点,对比点之间的年龄为线性内推或者外推. 地磁场强度时间模型上的岩芯氧同位素与全球氧同位素综合曲线一致证明强度结果的有效性和对比的正确性. 磁化率为归一参数的强度大多低于以非磁滞剩磁为归一参数的强度,频谱和相关分析证明NRM/ARM不与ARM和磁性矿物粒度(ARM/κ)相关,也没有轨道周期性,而NRM/κ却与κ和ARM/κ相关,而且有13~12 ka的周期. 由此我们认为NRM/ARM记录的地磁场强度比NRM/κ更好地消除了气候印记. 进一步探讨了超顺磁含量、碳酸钙含量、磁性矿物组成以及磁性矿物粒度变化与地磁场强度差值的关系,发现末次间冰期较高的超顺磁含量和磁性矿物粒度的较大范围变化造成了地磁场强度差值,后者至少造成了90%差异. 中等含量的碳酸钙和较小的磁性矿物组成变化不是磁场强度差值产生的原因. 如何校正磁性矿物粒度变化的影响将是下一步工作的重点. 相似文献

海洋沉积物能够记录较为连续的古地磁信息.对沉积物记录的天然剩磁(NRM)进行归一化处理,可以构建过去较为连续的地磁场相对古强度(RPI)信息,这对于研究地磁场演变与全球记录对比具有重要的科学意义.本文以南海西北次海盆地区L07岩芯作为研究对象,利用等温剩磁(IRM)作为NRM的归一化参数,构建了南海西北次海盆地区37ka以来的RPI曲线.实验结果显示,L07岩芯中载磁矿物的成分较为单一,以单畴(SD)-细粒准单畴(PSD)低矫顽力磁铁矿为主,能够作为古强度记录的载体.此外,在11.5ka处RPI出现峰值.进一步结合东亚地区鄂霍茨克海岩芯的RPI记录以及中国黄土10Be的丰度变化,我们认为该RPI峰值是由于地球非偶极子场影响所致.这说明东亚正磁异常的影响范围可以达到中国南海等中低纬度地区,这为理解东亚地区磁场演化提供了新证据,同时也为该区千年尺度RPI记录变化特征提供了新机制. 相似文献

对白令海北部陆坡B5-4孔进行了古地磁和岩石磁学研究,尝试获得该岩芯的地磁场相对强度和方向变化信息.结果表明:(1)除0~0.44 m沉积物的磁性矿物粒度比其余沉积物细以外,岩芯的磁学性质总体均一,其记录的地磁场相对强度可以与北大西洋ODP983孔相应记录进行高度对比.(2)根据B5-4孔与ODP983孔地磁场相对强度记录对比结果,并结合该孔4.54~4.56 m处有孔虫AMS14C测年结果,可以确定3个深度-年龄对比点,并据此初步建立了B5-4孔的年龄模型.(3)B5-4孔磁偏角和磁倾角记录与贝加尔湖、北美、欧洲全新世以来的记录和当地地磁场球谐模型结果一致,其对比点丰富了强度对比点年龄模型,揭示了14 cal ka B.P.以来近线性的沉积模式.(4)根据与中国东部陆架两个钻孔的磁倾角对比,我们推测B5-4孔9~14 ka之间两段浅化的磁倾角可能是哥德堡极性事件的记录,但是受到早期成岩或者沉积物平滑效应的影响.以上结果足以证明,地磁场相对强度和方向变化可以从适宜的白令海沉积物中获得,它可以为确定该海区沉积物年龄提供相关辅助信息,有助于解决北极、亚北极古环境和古海洋研究中由于有孔虫等钙质生物壳体缺乏导致的年龄信息匮乏问题. 相似文献

大陆架作为海陆相互作用的关键地区,对于研究大陆的构造演化、海陆变迁、海平面升降以及气候变化具有重要意义.然而由于不同研究方法的局限性,目前对大陆架沉积物年代学及其蕴含地质信息的认识仍然不足.南海是西太平洋最大的边缘海,是全球海洋沉积作用最为活跃的地区之一,也是海陆相互作用最为典型的区域.作为东亚大陆物质的主要沉积区,南海已经受到了学术界越来越多的关注.然而,目前的研究工作主要集中于沉积连续、信号记录稳定但沉积速率较慢、总体分辨率较低的深海区沉积物.相对而言,沉积速率较快、分辨率较高的浅海大陆架沉积为高分辨率年代学和古环境的研究提供了重要的地质材料,但由于大陆架沉积环境动荡导致沉积信号记录不稳定甚至缺失.针对南海大陆架沉积,尤其是对钻孔沉积物高分辨率年代学研究仍相对较少,限制了对南海构造与气候演化过程的认识.为了更好地限定南海北部陆架区更新世晚期沉积物的年代,研究其中蕴含的古环境信息,探讨东亚地区气候变化的驱动机制问题,同时为南海海域活动构造研究提供年代学框架,文中以南海北部DG钻孔为研究对象,在微体古生物化石和碳同位素年龄(14C)数据的基础上,利用大陆架沉积物磁化率与深海氧同位素的对比对其沉积物年代学进行了系统研究.基于此,结合色度和孢粉结果,对其古气候意义进行了初步探讨.结果表明,该钻孔沉积物的磁化率可对应于深海氧同位素的阶段1—阶段9(MIS 1—MIS 9),底部年龄约为300ka,磁化率低值区间对应于冰期,高值区间对应于间冰期.这与该钻孔沉积物中的孢粉和色度所记录的古环境信息相吻合.冰期时气候较为寒冷,水体变浅,沉积物搬运距离相对增大,矿物以氧化作用为主,主要形成弱磁性的磁性矿物(如赤铁矿),导致磁化率较低;间冰期时,气候相对暖湿,水体变深,沉积物搬运距离相对缩短,矿物以还原作用为主,主要形成强磁性的磁性矿物(如磁铁矿等),导致沉积物的磁化率显著增强.因此,南海大陆架北部更新世晚期沉积物的磁化率变化可以反映东亚地区更新世晚期以来冰期—间冰期气候旋回.磁化率与深海氧同位素的对比作为一种晚第四纪松散沉积物的相对定年方法,在南海北部陆架区更新世晚期沉积物定年方面是适用且可靠的,可为海洋大陆架沉积物定年和对比研究提供新的参考. 相似文献

An estimate of late Pleistocene geomagnetic intensity variation from Sulu Sea sediments 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
David A. Schneider 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1993,120(3-4):301-310
Sediments from Site 769 of the Ocean Drilling Program's Leg 124 provide a record of geomagnetic intensity variation over the past 110 ky. Using continous shipboard measurements exclusively, I estimate the variation in the geomagnetic field strength by employing low-field magnetic susceptibility as a normalization parameter for the measured remanence intensity. By calibrating the resultant relative paleointensity record against previously available Holocene age estimates of absolute paleointensity, I derive an estimate of virtual dipole moment since 110 ka. The record obtained from these Sulu Sea sediments is strikingly like that previously obtained from sediments of a similar age in the Mediterranean Basin with distinct intervals of low intensity near 15, 20, 40 and 65–70 ka. The Sulu sediments also indicate a low-intensity feature near 108 ka. Important differences in paleointensity estimates obtained from these different regions for the interval between 30 and 20 ka suggest that a relatively large non-dipolar component of the geomagnetic field might have been present at that time. 相似文献

The magnetic susceptibility of modern soils in China and its use for paleoclimate reconstruction 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Summary Magnetic susceptibility of more than 160 modern silty soil samples in China was measured to assess the relationship between
the magnetic susceptibility and modern climatic parameters. Correlation between magnetic susceptibility and mean annual temperature
(MAT) or mean annual precipitation (MAP), shows a complex picture and no single function can be found to fit all the data
on the national scale. In East China, where East Asian monsoon plays an important role for the climate conditions, magnetic
susceptibility increases with the increase of MAT or MAP in temperate semi-arid regions of the Loess Plateau and surrounding
areas. This can be attributed to increasing intensity of pedogenesis which would favor the formation of strongly magnetic
minerals and/or reduce depositional rate of eolian dust. Magnetic susceptibility tends to decrease with the increase of temperature
and precipitation in the tropical and subtropical warm and humid regions of the vast areas south of the Yangtze River. This
may be explained by pedogenic transformation of iron-bearing minerals to weakly magnetic minerals. Between these two different
correlation patterns, 15°C of MAT and/or 1200 mm of MAP seem to be the thresholds. In West China, the correlation becomes
quite complex in the great mountains and vast sedimentary basins in the north-west. This may be due to the prevailing continental
climate in this region and topographic contrast within short distance. The correlation for the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibetan) Plateau
is not clear because very few samples were collected. Fluctuations of paleo-temperature and paleo-precipitation at Luochuan
for the last 130 ka were estimated using the climofunction obtained from this study. 相似文献

A simple model for reconstructing the paleomagnetic field intensity with (10)~Be production rate was used for the first time in Loess (10)~Be studies of Luochuan profile. Using the LGM (Last Glacial Maxmium) method, the climatic effects and geomagnetic modulation effects on loess (10)~Be was separated and in turn the 80 ka geomagnetic excursion sequence reconstructed, of which the globally remarkable geomagnetic excursion events such as the Laschamp (42 ka), Mono Lake (32 ka) during the Last Glacial period were revealed and the paleo-geomagnetic intensity curve from Loess (10)~Be over the past 80 ka was quantitatively reconstructed. The reconstructed paleo-intensity fits well with the paleo-intensity curves (SINT200 and NAPIS75), which indicates the significance of global criterion of the (10)~Be paleo- intensity curve and the future direction of loess (10)~Be tracing studies. Results show the irregular vari-ability of the East Asian monsoon precipitation in Loess Plateau is the main cause that has resulted in the ambiguity of the geomagnetic modulation of the (10)~Be record in the loess, and the intrinsic source component of the loess (10)~Be and inherited fraction of magnetic susceptibility (SUS) are characterized by the "quasi-homogeneous distribution" manner. 相似文献

Our rock magnetic analysis of core Ph05 from the West Philippine Sea demonstrates that the core preserves a strong, stable
remanent magnetization and meets the magnetic mineral criteria for relative paleointensity (RPI) analyses. The magnetic minerals
in the sequence are dominated by pseudosingle-domain magnetite, and the concentration of magnetic minerals is at the same
scale. Both the conventional normalizing method and the pseudo-Thellier method were used in conjunction with the examination
of the rock magnetic properties and natural remanent magnetization. Susceptibility (χ), anhysteretic remnant magnetization (ARM) and saturation isothermal remnant magnetization (SIRM) were used as the natural
remanent magnetization normalizer. However, coherence analysis indicated that only ARM is more suitable for paleointensity
reconstruction. The age model of core is established based on oxygen isotope data and AMS14C data, which is consistent with the age model estimated from RPI records. The relative paleointensity data provide a continuous
record of the intensity variation during the last 200 ka, which correlates well with the global references RPI stacks. Several
prominent low paleointensity values are identified and are correlated to the main RPI minima in the SINT-200 record, suggesting
that the sediments have recorded the real changes of geomagnetic field.

黄土岩石磁学参数是古气候研究中的重要指标，其中磁化率应用最为广泛，并在黄土高原地区取得重大进展，其受控于成壤作用的变化机制也被普遍接受.然而在黄土高原外缘的新疆地区，磁化率的变化机制仍不明确，导致磁化率的古气候意义在该区存在较大争议.本文选取塔里木盆地南缘具有精确年代控制的典型黄土剖面（羊场剖面）开展岩石磁学和高分辨率磁化率研究，利用交叉小波分析方法并结合剖面粒度、矿物及元素特征对该地区磁化率变化机制进行初步探讨.结果显示，羊场剖面的岩石磁学性质主要由粗颗粒软磁性矿物所控制，同时也表现出一定的顺磁性特征.根据载磁矿物和磁化率变化特征可将剖面进一步划分为两个阶段：阶段Ⅰ（8.5~2.5 ka），载磁矿物以亚铁磁性的磁铁矿为主，磁化率值整体较高；阶段Ⅱ（2.5~0.2 ka），亚铁磁性矿物依然占据主导地位，但硬磁性矿物和以黄铁矿为代表的顺磁性矿物相对增多，磁化率值显著降低.相关性研究和交叉小波分析表明：阶段Ⅰ磁化率与粗颗粒组分的变化具有一致性，符合"风速论"模式；阶段Ⅱ磁化率不仅与粗颗粒组分具有明显的正相关关系，而且与指示成壤作用强度的频率磁化率百分含量呈现出显著的负相关关系，暗示了阶段Ⅱ的磁化率变化可能受到"风速论"和"还原性成壤"模式的共同影响.本文拓宽了对新疆地区黄土岩石磁学特征及其磁化率变化机制的深入理解，也为利用磁化率恢复新疆及中亚地区全新世以来的古气候变化历史提供了新的线索. 相似文献

The Xiashu loess is a typical Quaternary eolian deposit in southern China and represents an important terrestrial paleoclimate archive in this low-latitude monsoon region. However, the chronological framework of Xiashu loess deposition has yet to be established. Determining the timing of the onset of Xiashu loess deposition will allow researchers to better understand late Quaternary aridification across the Asian continent, the evolution of the East Asian monsoon and regional environmental changes in subtropical regions. Therefore, in this study, a systematic chronological study of the Xiashu loess is conducted to answer this question. For the first time, magnetostratigraphic classification reveals that the Matuyama/Brunhes (M/B) reversal is present in the Xiashu loess at two sites in Jiangsu Province, the Qingshan profile at Yizheng and the Dagang core in Zhenjiang. Based on the results of magnetostratigraphy and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, the age of the lower boundary of the Xiashu loess is estimated to be approximately 0.9 Ma. Consequently, this Xiashu loess deposit is the oldest reported to date and is comparable in age to the red soil deposit in Xuancheng, Anhui Province. The onset of Xiashu loess deposition by 0.9 Ma represents the further expansion of arid range in Asia in the late Quaternary in response to significant aridification and winter monsoon strengthening in this subtropical region. We suggest that these climate changes were primarily driven by global cooling and an increase in high-latitude ice volume in the Northern Hemisphere and that the initiation of Xiashu loess accumulation was a regional response of southern China to the 0.9 Ma global cooling event. 相似文献

With the lateral and vertical expansion of cities, urban geology becomes critical for urban construction. Wuhan City, as one of the largest cities in China, was chosen by China Geological Survey as pilot city to study multiple elements of urban geological survey. 90% of Wuhan area is covered by Quaternary strata, which means that most of the city is built on Quaternary sediments. The study of Quaternary stratigraphic structure of Wuhan area is a crucial groundwork for the urban geological survey of Wuhan. Due to the badly lagging of research on Quaternary stratigraphy of Wuhan area, this study selects four boreholes from hundreds of cores in this area in the project of Wuhan Urban Geological Survey for magnetic stratigraphic study and paleomagnetic analysis. This work mainly focuses on the borehole SK2 which possesses well-developed strata and is representative for magnetic strata division. Wuhan is located in the eastern Jianghan Basin where the Quaternary sediment has a fluctuant bottom edge, forming a half-graben shape boundary in large scale, as revealed by a large amount of boreholes. The borehole SK2 is located in the western Dongxi Lake depression. SK2 reveals continuous deep Quaternary sediment except for a short gap of late Pleistocen-early Holcene. Moreover, the grain size of drill core is generally smaller than other cores nearby, which is more suitable for paleomagnetic study.
In this study, we collected 117 samples with an interval of 0.25~0.30m from relative fine grain layers in the borehole for paleomagnetic study. Demagnetization and sample measurement were conducted in State Key Laboratory of Loess and Quaternary Geology, Institute of Earth Environment, CAS. By comparing with other well dated cores nearby, Wuhan's Quaternary magnetic stratigraphic chronology framework is initially established. Our data show that:1)the Brunhes-Matsuyama boundary(B/M)of borehole SK2 is clear, locating at 29.6m, and sediment at 1.2~29.6m belongs to Bmnhes normal polarity chron; 2)Two polarity drifts at 9.3~9.6m and 14.1~15.0m are observed in Brunhes. These samples collected from the Xiashu Loess yield two polarity drifts, which can be compared with the Xiashu Loess at Nanjing. The comparison between Xiashu Loess from borehole SK2 and that at Nanjing suggests that negative polarity drift at 14.1~15.0m is the Blake reverse polarity subchron(0.104~0.128Ma BP)and the polarity drifts at 9.3~9.6m(0.07~0.08Ma BP)is Norwegian-Greenland Sea reversal-polarity subchron; 3)Three polarity drifts were observed in Matsuyama, which is comparable with the borehole at Zhoulao and the borehole R25 in the center of the Jianghan Basin. They are at 38.2~39.8m(Jaramillo:0.99~1.07Ma BP), 66.5~71.9m(Olduvai:1.77~1.95Ma BP)and 75.8m(Reunion:2.01Ma BP); 4)Based on the forementioned paleomagnetic data, the depositional age structure of this borehole is:1.2~14.1m(late Pleistocene), 15~29.6m(middle Pleistocene)and 29.6~78.8m(early Pleistocene); 5)Our data show that deposition rate increased during 1.47~1.57Ma BP(54.9~61.3m)and 1.07~1.21Ma BP(39.8~47.3m)because they are fluvial sediments. This study builds the Quaternary stratigraphy and timescale for Wuhan area for the first time. However, because of the complex Quaternary sediment type in Wuhan area and the coarse sediment in the Matuyama, more comprehensive study is needed in the future to test whether our Quaternary stratigraphy and timescale is the best. 相似文献
