Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
An 11-m-long sediment core was collected in Lago Puyehue (40ºS, Lake District, Chile). The coring site had been selected on basis of a seismic-stratigraphic analysis that highlighted it as an area of relatively condensed, continuous and undisturbed sedimentation in this otherwise highly dynamic post-glacial lake. The 11-m core extends back to 17,915 cal yr BP. An age-depth model was established by 9 AMS 14C dates, constrained by 210Pb, 237Cs, 241Am measurements, by the identification of event-deposits related to earthquakes and/or volcanic eruptions, and by varve-counting for the past 600 yr. The core was submitted to a multi-proxy analysis, including sedimentology, mineralogy, grain-size, major geochemistry and organic geochemistry (C/N ratio, d13C), loss-on-ignition, magnetic susceptibility, diatom analysis and palynology. Along-core variations in sediment composition reveal that the area of Lago Puyehue was characterised since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) by a series of rapid climate fluctuations superimposed on a long-term warming trend. These rapid climate changes are: (1) an abrupt warming at the end of the LGM at 17,300 cal yr BP, (2) a short, relatively cold interval between 13,100-12,300 cal yr BP, (3) a second abrupt warming, possibly with increased precipitation, at about 12,300 cal yr BP, and (4) an increase in climate variability in the late Holocene at 5000-6000 cal yr BP. The timing of these rapid climate changes confirms previously reported climate trends from continental southern South America and their out-of-phase relationship with those from the northern hemisphere and from Antarctica. |
