15. Influence of northwest Pacific productivity on North Pacific Intermediate Water oxygen concentrations during the Bolling-Allerod interval (14.7-12.9 ka)

Abstract

Elevated productivity in the northwest Pacific is suggested as a new possible control driving past intervals of low-[O.sub.2] intermediate water along the western continental margin of North America. According to this mechanism, [O.sub.2] consumption would occur near the site of formation of North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW), due to increased respiration of organic carbon in response to a high-productivity event. Evidence is provided for such a productivity increase during the Bolling-Allerod interval (14.7-12.9 ka), a time when laminated sediments were deposited along the northern California margin. By this mechanism, low-[O.sub.2] events in intermediate waters off the western North American margin could occur without significant changes in the rate of NPIW ventilation. Keywords: laminations, productivity, North Pacific, anoxic environment, continental margin.

Abstract

A high-resolution record of carbon isotope changes during the late Holocene was obtained in core GA-112 from the easternmost Mediterranean. Over the past 3600 yr, a gradual [sup.13]C-depletion trend shown by both planktonic and benthic foraminifera corresponds to a global rise in atmospheric C[O.sub.2]. The global and local trends suggest that aridification and biomass destruction in the Nile basin played a major role in the global C[O.sub.2] rise in the late Holocene. Superimposed on the general [delta][sup.13]C trend are four mirror-image cycles in [delta][sup.13]C of planktonic and benthic foraminifera. Higher planktonic [delta][sup.13]C values reflect periods of high productivity off the coast of Israel. Simultaneously, decrease in the benthic [delta][sup.13]C values occurred because of degradation of higher organic-matter fluxes to the sediment. Therefore, large differences between the two records indicate periods of high productivity. The Eastern Mediterranean productivity fluctuations respond to a periodical replenishment of nutrients to the mixed layer via Nile runoff. Historical data of the Nile flood fluctuations for the past ~1400 yr show a remarkable coincidence between high and low Nile floods and high and low Eastern Mediterranean productivity levels, which are correlated with the periodic monsoonal activity over the Nile headwaters. Keywords: Eastern Mediterranean, foraminiferal [delta][sup.13]C, Nile-derived nutrients, productivity cycles, late Holocene.

Abstract

Dansgaard-Oeschger events, which are a series of rapid warm and bold oscillations, terminated the final glaciation in Greenland. This is revealed by the oxygen isotope measurements in Greenland. Sea surface temperatures from the North Atlantic sediments over a period of 90,000 years are recorded, and a series of temperature core oscillations, similar to those on ice core record, are noticed. Cooling cycles, which prevail over a period of 10 to 15 kyr, incorporate the ocean temperature shifts. These changes of temperatures indicate that the Dansgaard-Oeschger events terminated the glaciation.

Abstract

Sedimentary deposits in the North Atlantic from the most recent ice age contain mineral detritus deposited by icebergs which can be traced to their origin 3,000 kilometers away in eastern Canada. The advance of the icebergs reflects a surface cooling which is difficult to explain. It may be explained by rapid advances in the Laurentide ice sheet, but ice core evidence from Greenland does not corroborate a contemporary decrease in air temperature. Furthermore, the iceberg discharges do not follow Milankovitch orbital periods.

29. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation as productivity regulator of the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre

Abstract

Spatially extensive and intense phytoplankton blooms observed off Iberia, in satellite pictures, are driven by significant nutrient supply by upper-ocean vertical mesoscale activity rather than by horizontal advection by coastal upwelling. Productivity of oligotrophic regions is still poorly depicted by discrete instrumental and model data sets. The paleoproductivity reconstructions of these areas represent the mean productivity over long periods, bringing new insights into the total biomass fluxes. Here, we present paleoproductivity records from the oceanic Tore Seamount region, covering the period from 140 to 60 ka. They show higher nutrient supplies during Termination II, Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 4, MIS 6, and warming transitions of the MIS 5 sub-stages. The highest nutrient content (higher productivity) in phase with tracers of bottom-water ventilation (benthic δ13C,231Pa/230Th) establishes a strong linkage with variability of Southern Ocean-sourced waters. Low productivity and ventilation over warm sub-stages of MIS 5 respond instead to North Atlantic Deep Water. Assuming that the Tore Seamount is representative of oligotrophic regions, the glacial-interglacial relationship observed between paleoproductivity and Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation strength opens new insights into the importance of estimating the total biomass in these regions. The subtropical gyres might play a considerable role in the carbon cycle over (sub-)glacial-interglacial time scales than previously thought.

Abstract

The abundance of alkenones in certain algae indicates palaeotemperatures. This technique was successfully applied to a sample drawn from the Arabian Sea-Bay of Bengal juncture, supporting and greatly extending previous studies of sea temperature in the region. The resulting 170,000 year record indicates that sea-surface temperature varied between 25.5 and 28 degrees celsius, and that the Indian monsoon varied greatly throughout the end of the latest glacial period.

Abstract

Theories explaining the origin and distribution of Heinrich layers--abrupt, massive discharges of ice-rafted detritus--generally attribute these layers to the Laurentide ice sheet. However, doubt has been cast by the discovery that sediments also originated from European ice sheets. Here we present isotopic (Sr-Nd) fingerprints of Heinrich layers obtained in cores from the European margin. They reveal that for most of the Heinrich layers, the icebergs were calved first from the European ice sheets, predating the Laurentide surges. Accelerator mass spectrometry (.sup.14)C ages reveal that the oceanic Heinrich events were synchronous with their dust equivalents in the Greenland ice cores, implying a direct ocean-atmosphere link. The typical Laurentide surge seems to have occurred over a short time span, after about 1.5 k.y. of iceberg release from the European ice sheets. This suggests that the Laurentide ice sheet responded to a stimulus created by events in the European sector. Keywords: Atlantic Ocean, paleoclimatology, Heinrich events, ice-rafted detritus, St-Nd isotopes.

Abstract

International audience; The Morbihan Coast (South Brittany, France) has an intense coastal activity: farming, industry, urban habitation runoff , yachting and transportation. In the past centuries, tin mining industry was also developed. These different factors may introduce metal trace elements (MTE) into the marine environment at toxic concentration levels. This pollution can particularly affect the oyster production, widely developed in the area. Monitoring MTE in surface sediments at high spatial resolution has been programmed to assess pollutants and their sources in two of the major Morbihan coastal systems concerned with oyster farming, and where available information on MTE impact and sediment quality is limited: the Bay of Quiberon, partly protected from the open ocean by the Quiberon Peninsula and several islands, mostly sandy (coarse to fine, with a significant shelly fraction), with water depths shallower that 25 m, and the Gulf of Morbihan, a shallow depth (less than 5 m, apart from the two paleoriver beds), semi-enclosed, estuarine system with very coarse sand to fine mud, mostly distributed by a strong tidal current system. Fifty two surface sediment samples were collected in April 2013 to characterize the MTE spatial distribution through the salinity and pollution gradients, from the small local rivers and harbor areas to the open marine environments. Analyses cover sedimentological and biogeochemical properties (particulate organic carbon using a LECO-CS-230; MTE using ICP-MS or DMA for Hg). Statistical analyses help to discriminate within the spatial variability the natural (e.g. grain-size effect) and anthropogenic factors. MTE concentrations were also compared to local geochemical background as measured at the bottom of three sediment cores collected in representative sites, for calculating the enrichment index of each MTE and evaluating the degree of sediment contamination. The initial interpretation of the results would indicate a clear distinction between the geochemical gradients linked to natural processes: sediment sources and size fractionation (for example, the relationship between Sr and car-bonate concentration in the sand fraction), and gradients linked to polluting factors, in particular in the harbors and protected arias, probably associated with boat maintenance (with Cu, Zn and Sn concentrations exceeding 100 ppm, up to 300 ppm in isolated places). More detailed statistical analyses and implications will be presented at the conference.

Abstract

International audience; Eight time slices of surface-water paleoceanography were reconstructed from stable isotope and paleotemperature data to evaluate late Quaternary changes in density, current directions, and sea-ice cover in the Nordic Seas and NE Atlantic. We used isotopic records from 110 deep-sea cores, 20 of which are accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS)-14C dated and 30 of which have high (>8 cm/kyr) sedimentation rates, enabling a resolution of about 120 years. Paleotemperature estimates are based on species counts of planktonic foraminifera in 18 cores. The •5180 and •513C distributions depict three main modes of surface circulation: (1) The Holocene-style interglacial mode which largely persisted over the last 12.8 •4C ka, and probably during large parts of stage 3. (2) The peak glacial mode showing a cyclonic gyre in the, at least, seasonally ice-free Nordic Seas and a meltwater lens west of Ireland. Based on geostrophic forcing, it possibly turned clockwise, blocked the S-N flow across the eastern Iceland-Shetland ridge, and enhanced the Irminger current around west Iceland. It remains unclear whether surface-water density was sufficient for deepwater formation west of Norway. (3) A meltwater regime culminating during early glacial Termination I, when a great meltwater lens off northern Norway probably induced a clockwise circulation reaching south up to Faeroe, the northward inflow of Irminger Current water dominated the Icelandic Sea, and deepwater convection was stopped. In contrast to circulation modes two and three, the Holocene-style circulation mode appears most stable, even unaffected by major meltwater pools originating from the Scandinavian ice sheet, such as during •80 event 3.1 and the B611ing. Meltwater phases markedly influenced the European continental climate by suppressing the "heat pump" of the Atlantic salinity conveyor belt. During the peak glacial, melting icebergs blocked the eastward advection of warm surface water toward Great Britain, thus accelerating buildup of the great European ice sheets; in the early deglacial, meltwater probably induced a southward flow of cold water along Norway, which led to the Oldest Dryas cold spell.

Abstract

Well-dated benthic foraminifer oxygen isotopic records (delta O-18) from different water depths and locations within the Atlantic Ocean exhibit distinct patterns and significant differences in timing over the last deglaciation. This has two implications: on the one hand, it confirms that benthic delta O-18 cannot be used as a global correlation tool with millennial-scale precision, but on the other hand, the combination of benthic isotopic records with independent dating provides a wealth of information on past circulation changes. Comparing new South Atlantic benthic isotopic data with published benthic isotopic records, we show that (1) circulation changes first affected benthic delta O-18 in the 1000-2200 m range, with marked decreases in benthic delta O-18 taking place at similar to 17.5 cal. kyr B.P. (ka) due to the southward propagation of brine waters generated in the Nordic Seas during Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1) cold period; (2) the arrival of delta O-18-depleted deglacial meltwater took place later at deeper North Atlantic sites; (3) hydrographic changes recorded in North Atlantic cores below 3000 m during HS1 do not correspond to simple alternations between northern-and southern-sourced water but likely reflect instead the incursion of brine-generated deep water of northern as well as southern origin; and (4) South Atlantic waters at similar to 44 degrees S and similar to 3800 m depth remained isolated from better-ventilated northern-sourced water masses until after the resumption of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation at the onset of the Bolling-Allerod, which led to the propagation of NADW into the South Atlantic.

O estudo mostrou que a produtividade oceânica ao largo da costa ocidental Portuguesa é maior durante as fases frias do Estádio 5 e durante os Estádios Glaciares 4 e 6, sugerindo uma maior disponibilidade de nutrientes durante esses períodos. Os dados de d13C, variações da granulometria e parâmetros magnéticos, sugerem correntes de fundo mais fortes durante os períodos frios, concordantes com uma maior contribuição das correntes de fundo austrais na margem Este do Atlântico Norte. Os nossos dados sugerem uma ligação entre a variação da produtividade oceânica e a circulação termohalina.

Abstract

We investigated deep water changes in the Southern Ocean during the last glacial inception, in relationship to surface hydrology and global climatology, to better understand the mechanisms of the establishment of a glacial ocean circulation. Changes in benthic foraminiferal delta(13)C from three high-resolution cores are compared and indicate decoupled intermediate and deep water changes in the Southern Ocean. From the comparison with records from the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, and the Southern Ocean, we show that the early southern deep water delta(13)C drop observed at the MIS 5.5-5.4 transition occurred before any significant reduction of North Atlantic Deep Water ventilation. We propose that this drop is linked to the northward expansion of poorly ventilated Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) mass in the Southern Ocean. Associated with an early cooling in the high southern latitudes, the westerly winds and surface oceanic fronts would migrate equatorward, thus weakening the upwelling of Circumpolar Deep Waters. Reduced heat brought to Antarctic surface waters would enhance sea ice formation during winters and the deep convection of cold and poorly ventilated AABW.

Abstract

International audience; Observation-based reconstructions of sea surface temperature from relatively stable periods in the past, such as the Last Glacial Maximum, represent an important means of constraining climate sensitivity and evaluating model simulations 1. The first quantitative global reconstruction of sea surface temperatures during the Last Glacial Maximum was developed by the Climate Long-Range Investigation, Mapping and Prediction (CLIMAP) project in the 1970s and 1980s (refs 2,3). Since that time, several shortcomings of that earlier effort have become apparent 4. Here we present an updated synthesis of sea surface temperatures during the Last Glacial Maximum, rigorously defined as the period between 23 and 19 thousand years before present, from the Multiproxy Approach for the Reconstruction of the Glacial Ocean Surface (MARGO) project 5. We integrate microfossil and geochemical reconstructions of surface temperatures and include assessments of the reliability of individual records. Our reconstruction reveals the presence of large longitudinal gradients in sea surface temperature in all of the ocean basins, in contrast to the simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum climate available at present 6,7. Studies following the Climate Long-Range Investigation, Mapping and Prediction (CLIMAP) project mainly reanalysed old primary data, applied single new proxies or concentrated on specific ocean basins 8-11. The Multiproxy Approach for the Reconstruction of the Glacial Ocean Surface (MARGO) project's objective has been to compile and analyse available estimates of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) sea surface temperatures (SSTs) based on all prevalent microfossil-based (transfer functions based on planktonic foraminifera, diatom, dinoflagellate cyst and radiolarian abundances) and geochemical (alkenones and planktonic foraminifera Mg/Ca) palaeothermometers. The MARGO project approach is to argue that no current proxy method is objectively better than another to provide an accurate picture of past SST, and that consequently the multiproxy approach yields the least biased representation of past reality. By using a rigorous definition of the LGM time interval (19-23 cal kyr bp; ref. 4), many records used previously had to be discarded. Other key features are the use of a common data set of ambient temperatures for the calibration of all proxies and the assessment of the reliability of individual SST estimates 5. The MARGO compilation combines 696 individual SST reconstructions (Fig.

Abstract

International audience; [1] Reliable temperature estimates from both surface and subsurface ocean waters are needed to reconstruct past upper water column temperature gradients and past oceanic heat content. This work examines the relationships between trace element ratios in fossil shells and seawater temperature for surface-dwelling foraminifera species, Globigerinoides ruber (white) and Globigerina bulloides, and deep-dwelling species, Globorotalia inflata, Globorotalia truncatulinoides (dextral and sinistral) and Pulleniatina obliquiloculata. Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios in shells picked in 29 modern core tops from the North Atlantic Ocean are calibrated using calculated isotopic temperatures. Mg/Ca ratios on G. ruber and G. bulloides agree with published data and relationships. For deep-dwelling species, Mg/Ca calibration follows the equation Mg/Ca = 0.78 (±0.04) Â exp (0.051 (±0.003) Â T) with a significant correlation coefficient of R 2 = 0.74. Moreover, there is no significant difference between the different deep-dwellers analyzed. For the Sr/Ca ratio, the surface dwellers and P. obliquiloculata do not record any temperature dependence. For the Globorotalia species, the thermo dependence of Sr/Ca ratio can be described by a single linear relationship: Sr/Ca = (0.0182 (±0.001) Â T) + 1.097 (±0.018), R 2 = 0.85. Temperature estimates with a 1 sigma error of ±2.0°C and ±1.3°C can be derived from the Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios, respectively, as long as the Sr geochemistry in the ocean has been constant through time.
