Early diagenetic processes generate iron and manganese oxide layers in the sediments of Lake Baikal, Siberia.
Distinct layers of iron(III) and manganese(IV) (Fe/Mn) oxides are found buried within the reducing part of the sediments in Lake Baikal and cause considerable complexity and steep vertical gradients with respect to the redox sequence. For the on-site investigation of the responsible biogeochemical processes, we applied filter tube samplers for the extraction of sediment porewater combined with ...
متن کاملClimate Change and the World’s “Sacred Sea”—Lake Baikal, Siberia
L Baikal in southeastern Siberia, the “Sacred Sea,” incites strong emotions and action in Russia. In March 2006, 5000 people in Irkutsk, Russia, protested the proposed construction of an oil pipeline scheduled to pass within 800 meters (m) of Lake Baikal’s shoreline, and, within days, President Putin announced the pipeline would be rerouted outside the lake’s watershed (Cullison 2007). In July ...
متن کاملPalynological study of Lake Kotokel’ bottom sediments (Lake Baikal region)
Pollen and AMSC analyses of bottom sediments from the upper nine meters of the Lake Kotokel’ section were carried out. The regional climate and landscape dynamics during the Late Glacial and Holocene has been reconstructed with an average time resolution of ~120 years. It is shown that the climatic conditions in the Kotokel’ basin during Termination I (~15.5–11 ka) were characterized by short d...
متن کاملSiliceous microfossil distribution in the surficial sediments of Lake Baikal
Examination of surficial sediments at 16 stations shows minor, but consistent differences in the numbers and kinds of siliceous microfossils deposited in different regions of Lake Baikal. There is a general north-south decreasing trend in total microfossil abundance on a weight basis. Endemic plankton diatom species are the most abundant component of assemblages at all stations. Chrysophyte cys...
متن کاملSixty years of environmental change in the world's largest freshwater lake – Lake Baikal, Siberia
High-resolution data collected over the past 60 years by a single family of Siberian scientists on Lake Baikal reveal significant warming of surface waters and long-term changes in the basal food web of the world’s largest, most ancient lake. Attaining depths over 1.6 km, Lake Baikal is the deepest and most voluminous of the world’s great lakes. Increases in average water temperature (1.21 1C s...
