In the desert of Abarkoh Basin, Central Iran, the influence of playa-lake level fluctuations on recent sedimentation mode of a terminal ephemeral fluvial-fan system and adjacent lacustrine/aeolian sediments of a playa fringe environment has been investigated. The surface geomorphology-sedimentology and its relationship with shallow subsurface sediments along a >25 km transect, has been studied....
متن کاملA 14,500-year record of landscape change from Okpilak Lake, northeastern Brooks Range, northern Alaska
Analyses of lithology, organic-matter content, magnetic susceptibility, and pollen in a sediment core from Okpilak Lake, located in the northeastern Brooks Range, provide new insights into the history of climate, landscape processes, and vegetation in northern Alaska since 14,500 cal year BP. The late-glacial interval ([11,600 cal year BP) featured sparse vegetation cover and the erosion of min...

The combinaThe accuracy of Arctic lake chronologies has been assessed by tion of these factors commonly leads to radiocarbon ages measuring the C activities of modern carbon sources and that are apparently too old. Discrete macrofossils are rarely applying these isotopic mass balances to dating fossil lake materifound in sufficient quantities for...
متن کاملA holocene perspective on algal mercury scavenging to sediments of an Arctic lake.
Anthropogenic activities have increased the amount of mercury (Hg) transported atmospherically to the Arctic. At the same time, recent climate warming is altering the limnology of arctic lakes and ponds, including increases in aquatic primary production. It has been hypothesized that climate-driven increases in aquatic production have enhanced Hg scavenging from the water column, and that this ...
متن کاملBacterial magnetite in Swedish varved lake-sediments: a potential bio-marker of environmental change
Detailed mineral magnetic measurements were carried out on three varved lake-sediment sequences in Sweden, which extend to ca. 7000BC. The comparison of the magnetic properties of the organic rich varved lake-sediments with their respective catchment materials indicates that the magnetic properties of the sediments are dominated by relatively high concentrations of single-domain magnetite magne...
