Abstract

Stable isotope, paleoceanographic and sedimentological analyses were carried out along the core Ml5612 from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Distinct negative ${\delta}^{18}O anomalies punctuate the planktonic isotope records and correlate with the Heinrich-IRD cvents. The IRD layer in the corc contains varying amounts of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, calcite, dolomite and mica, in which detrital carbonate contributes between I and 13% (except H3 and H6). Anomalies are strongest in the N. pachydenna (sin.) isotope record. Systematic changes in the ${\delta}^{18}O offset of G. hul/aides and G. inJlata signify variations in mid-latitude thermocline structure. In conjunction with negative benthic ${\delta}^{13}C anomalies, the data document a stronger contribution of a ${\delta}^{13}C depleted, nutrient-rich water mass during the IRD events. The ${\delta}^{13}C amplitude of > 1 $\textperthousand$ between 25 and 57 ka indicates changes between northern source (NADW) and southern source (AABW) water masses at this site. The IRD layers in the core Ml56l2 are correlative with those from the core S075-26KL and DSDP 609. The IRD layers from the Portuguese margin arc coeval with HI, H2 and H4 of the open North Atlantic. This similarity (and/or synchronicity in both regions may have been resulted from common changes in a North Atlantic thermohaline switch.

북대서양 중앙해령 동편에서 시추한 코아를 가지고 안정동위원소 및 고해양학적, 퇴적학적 연구를 시도하였다. 부유유공충의 안정동위원소 기록에서 분명한 이상을 보이며 이것은 하인리히 이벤트와 잘 대비된다. 코아에서 발견된 빙하쇄설퇴적층은 석영, 알칼리장석, 사장석, 방해석, 백운석, 운모 등 다양한 성분의 쇄설성광물을 함유하고 있다. H3와 H6 이외의 모든 빙하쇄설퇴적층은 쇄설탄산염광물을 1-13% 함유하고 있다. 부유유공충인 N.pachyderma(sin.)에서 가장 큰 이상을 보이며, G. bulloides와 G. inflata의 ${\delta}^{18}O는 중위도 수온약층 구조에서의 체계적인 변화를 보여준다. 빙하쇄설퇴적층이 형성되는 기간 동안에는 저서유공충의 <${\delta}^{13}C가 내려갔고 이에 일치하여 낮은 값의 ${\delta}^{18}O와 영양분이 풍부한 해수가 발달하였다. 제4기말의 25,000년과 57,000년 전 사이에 보이는 1$\textperthousand$ 이상의 ${\delta}^{13}C증가는 북대서양심해수(NADW)의 약화와 이에 따른 남쪽기원의 남극저층수(AABW)의 상대적인 확장을 의미한다. 코아 M15612의 빙하쇄설퇴적층은 코아 SO75-26KL과 DSDP 609에서 발견된 것과 대비된다. 포르투갈 대륙사면에서 발견된 빙하쇄설퇴적층은 대양의 H1, H2 및 H4와 일치한다. 양쪽지역의 유사성은 하나의 해양시스템 내에서 북대서양 해류의 상호작용에 의하여 형성된 결과로 사료된다.
