摘要
湖泊沉积物的磁性参数是古气候、古环境的重要代用指标。通过对青海湖QI_5孔和岱海DH_(32)孔短岩心的磁化率、频率磁化率的研究,并与地球化学参数等其它资料对比,探讨了以上两个湖区历史时期古气候变化规律;论证了用磁化率、频率磁化率作为古气候、古环境指标的可靠性和敏感性;并对其变化机制进行了初步探讨。
Mineral magnetic measurement can contribute to lake sediment studies in a wide variety of ways, ranging from analysis of sediment sources to understanding of the response of lake sediments to climate change.
The magnetic susceptibility (χ) and the frequency dependent susceptibility (χ_(fd)) curves of two short sediment cores from Qinghai Lake (QL_5) and Daihai Lake (DH_(32)), spanning respectively the last 500 and 300 years ,have been made. It is interesting that the variations in χ_(fd)(%) approximately coincide with those of geochemical and grain size analysis data. Additionally, due to the variation of magnetic mineral content, type and magnetic grain size controlled mainly by the processes of weathering, pedogenesis, erosion and so on, the curves (especially χ_(fd)(%) curves) have all shown considerable regular alternations of wave peaks and troughs, implying climatic fluctuations in different time scales during historical period in the two areas. These results indicate that the magnetic parameters of lake sediments, especially their frequency dependent susceptibility are sensitive to paleoclimatic fluctuation and can provide us important information about climate change.
