在厚度为369cm的台错TT-1剖面中,共采取连续样品156个,单样平均厚度仅为2.36cm,使之成为一个理想的进行高分辨率研究的对象。通过对样品的硅藻研究,以及全部样品的孢粉和介形虫化石分析鉴定,本项研究取得了多项创新研究成果。①结合铀系不平衡法获得的准确可靠定年数据,本文重建了西藏台错古湖区自晚更新世晚期以来的古气候、古环境演变。从万年尺度上,台错在〉32.60~26.15ka BP间的6.45ka间长期处在潮湿、湿润的环境之中;在26.15~4.50ka BP的21.65ka间,气候则以偏干和寒冷为大背景;在4.50ka BP,沉积记录终断,表明湖泊干枯消失。从百年-千年尺度上,厘定出台错自22.70ka BP以来,经历了明显的寒冷气候事件8起,湿润气候事件3起,以及气候颤动事件2起,从而更加详尽地描述了台错在18.2ka中经历的19个古环境、古环境演变阶段。②首次发现了两种硅藻的新化石种--西藏胸隔藻属新种Mastogloiatibetica Li et Wei和西藏桥弯藻属新种Cymbellataicuonensis Li et Zheng。③首次在西藏境内大量发现了Cyprideis torosa(结节正星介)和C.littoralis(滨海正星介)。本文为全球气候变化研究及青藏高原的古气候、古环境研究,提供了来自高原内部的全新精细记录和科学依据。
The saline lake-Dahyab Tso (Tai Cuo, Tso means lake in Tibetan located in the northern Tibetan Plateau is chosen as our study object. The environment in Dahyab Tso is very harsh, without any human pollution. Field work was carried out in 2001. Sampling was conducted on the 369 cm Profile TT-1 in a high consistency, and the average thickness of each sample has been limited to 2.36 cm. It is so come to be a perfect object to do the high-resolution research. While the study in palynology and ostracods with whole 156 samples in profile TT-1, and in diatom, it is summarized the achievements as follows. (1) Based on the credible dating results by Uranium-series chronology combined with the total-sample-dissolution isochron techniques, this research established the paleoclimate and paleoenvironment of Dahyab Tso (Tai Cuo) in Tibet since the Late Pleistocene. By the ten-thousand timescales, the two quite different changing stages of climate condition were recognized in the Dahyab Tso area: from 〉32.6 ka BP to 26.15 ka BP, the climate background with a duration of 6.45 ka was generally humid and warm; and then, from 26.15 ka BP to 4.50 ka BP, the climate was generally in a slightly dry and cold big background with a duration of 21.65 ka; After 4.50 ka BP, as the upper part of the profile is missing, saline lake sedimentary record is interrupted. It might have been explained with the continued vigorously arid incident, making the lake shrink back and causing a water level fall-down. Otherwise, by the hundred-thousand timescales, distinguished clearly that after 22.70 ka BP in Dahyab Tso, there are 8-time cold palaeoclimate events, 3-time wet palaeoclimate events, and 2-time frequently fluctuation palaeoclimate events. Depended on that, it can be divided into 19 stages during 18.2 ka in more detail. The 8-time cold palaeoclimate events are: ①circ. 22.70~21.92 ka BP, a duration of 780 a;②circ. 20.48~19.25 ka BP, a duration of 1230 a,the coldest palaroclimate event;③circ. 17.80~16.02 ka BP, a dur
