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 |
The Belgian ENSO-CHILE project aims to provide a record of paleo-precipitation in the Chilean Lake District over the last 12000 years, in order to define the regional impact of ENSO-events. ENSO-events in the area induce precipitation anomalies, and should be recorded in the lakes as changes in terrigenous sediment supply. Additional attention will be paid to identifying millennium-timescale abrupt climate changes during the Holocene and their effect on the ENSO-record, but also to pluri-decadal cyclicity overprints on ENSO-intensities.Four long sediment cores were collected from two lakes in the area. The two lakes were selected after high-resolution reflection seismic reconnaissance surveys in 6 lakes. In each of the two selected lakes, two coring sites have been identified on basis of the seismic data, one in a proximal and one in a distal depositional setting. Field work around the lakes has allowed to define the sediment source characteristics and mineralogies, the present-day vegetation and the geomorphology of the drainage basins. Surface sediment sampling in the lakes provides information on the spatial variability in present-day terrigeneous sediment supply and dispersion.Multi-disciplinary analysis of the cores is currently underway and includes: physical properties, sedimentology, mineralogy, dating, tephrochronology and pollen studies. The chronology will be established by Pb, Cs and C dating, as well as by correlation of sedimentary events with historical records. The most suitable and promising proxies will be selected after the first analyses.The project result will be a well-dated, multi-proxy record of Holocene variations in terrigeneous sediment supply. It will be integrated with a pollen record of vegetation changes, the tephrostratigraphy and the regional seismic-stratigraphy, in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental changes that affected the area, in terms of precipitation and temperature variations. |
