Internal structure of event layers preserved on the Andaman Sea continental shelf, Thailand: tsunami vs. storm and flash-flood deposits

Natural hazards and earth system sciences (2015)

D. Sakuna-Schwartz Peter Feldens Klaus Schwarzer Somkiat Khokiattiwong Karl Stattegger

Abstract. Tsunami, storm and flash-flood event layers, which have been deposited over the last century on the shelf offshore Khao Lak (Thailand, Andaman Sea), are identified in sediment cores based on sedimentary structures, grain size compositions, Ti / Ca ratios and 210Pb activity. Individual offshore tsunami deposits are 12 to 30 cm in thickness and originate from the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. They are characterized by (1) the appearance of sand layers enriched in shells and shell debris and (2) the appearance of mud and sand clasts. Storm deposits found in core depths between 5 and 82 cm could be attributed to recent storm events by using 210Pb profiles in conjunction with historical data of typhoons and tropical storms. Massive sand layers enriched in shells and shell debris characterize storm deposits. The last classified type of event layer represents reworked flash-flood deposits, which are characterized by a fining-upward sequence of muddy sediment. The most distinct difference between storm and tsunami deposits is the lack of mud and sand clasts, mud content and terrigenous material within storm deposits. Terrigenous material transported offshore during the tsunami backwash is therefore an important indicator to distinguish between storm and tsunami deposits in offshore environments.

A High-Resolution Sea-Surface Temperature Record from the Tropical South China Sea (16,500–3000 yr B.P.)

Quaternary Research (2001)

Stephan Steinke Markus Kienast Uwe Pflaumann Mara Weinelt Karl Stattegger

Abstract The timing and magnitude of sea-surface temperature (SST) changes in the tropical southern South China Sea (SCS) during the last 16,500 years have been reconstructed on a high-resolution, 14 C-dated sediment core using three different foraminiferal transfer functions (SIMMAX28, RAM, FP-12E) and geochemical (U k′ 37 ) SST estimates. In agreement with CLIMAP reconstructions, both the FP-12E and the U k′ 37 SST estimates show an average late glacial–interglacial SST difference of 2.0°C, whereas the RAM and SIMMAX28 foraminiferal transfer functions show only a minor (0.6°C) or no consistent late glacial–interglacial SST change, respectively. Both the U k′ 37 and the FP-12E SST estimates, as well as the planktonic foraminiferal δ 18 O values, indicate an abrupt warming (ca. 1°C in <200 yr) at the end of the last glaciation, synchronous (within dating uncertainties) with the Bølling transition as recorded in the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) ice core, whereas the RAM-derived deglacial SST increase appears to lag during this event by ca. 500 yr. The similarity in abruptness and timing of the warming associated with the Bølling transition in Greenland and the southern SCS suggest a true synchrony of the Northern Hemisphere warming at the end of the last glaciation. In contrast to the foraminiferal transfer function estimates that do not indicate any consistent cooling associated with the Younger Dryas (YD) climate event in the tropical SCS, the U k′ 37 SST estimates show a cooling of ca. 0.2–0.6°C compared to the Bølling–Allerød period. These U k′ 37 SST estimates from the southern SCS argue in favor of a Northern Hemisphere-wide, synchronous cooling during the YD period.

Subsidence characteristics of Turpan Basin and its tectonic implications

Lei Shao Karl Stattegger Wenhou Li Bernd J. Haupt Yiqun Liu

The Turpan Basin, a back-arc basin formed during Late Permian, underwent first thermal subsidence and then flexure subsidence. The thermal subsidence took place during Late Permian and Early Triassic following the period of magmatic activities in this region. The flexural subsidence was throughout the Middle Triassic to Early Tertiary induced by orogenic movements which produced periods of high subsidence rates. Accelerated subsided periods occurred during Late Triassic/Early Jurassic, Late Jurassic, terminal Jurassic/initial Cretaceous, and terminal Cretaceous/early Cenozoic, indicating the effect of the collision and accretion onto the south Asian continental margin of the Qiangtang Block in Late Triassic/Early Jurassic, the Gangdise Block in Late Jurassic and terminal Jurassic/initial Cretaceous, and the Indian subcontinent in the terminal Cretaceous/early Cenozoic. There are relatively large breaks in the variation of the petrologic and geochemical data among these events. The Turpan Basin evolved from a back-arc basin in late Paleozoic into a foreland basin in Mesozoic, and a large intermontane basin of the Tianshan Mts. in Cenozoic.

南海南部巽他陆架氧同位素3期粘土矿物记录及其古环境意义

Earth Science-Journal of China University of Geosciences (2021)

Hongxing Wang Zhifei Liu Jiawang Wu Yulong Zhao Karl Stattegger

摘要: 南海南部低海平面时期巽他陆架陆源碎屑的物源区变化，对于研究海陆变迁过程古环境演化具有重要意义.选择巽他陆架外缘对海平面变化影响非常敏感的氧同位素3期岩心记录（18282-2孔），开展高分辨率陆源碎屑粘土矿物分析，以期获得海平面变化影响下的物源区演化历史.研究结果显示，在氧同位素3期44.5~36.0 cal ka BP期间，巽他陆架外缘含有较高的蒙脱石（29%~44%）与中等含量的高岭石（21%~27%）、伊利石（19%~27%）和绿泥石（14%~20%）.物源区分析表明，这个时期的蒙脱石主要由苏门答腊岛和泰国中部河流提供，高岭石主要由马来半岛、苏门答腊岛和婆罗洲西部河流提供，而伊利石和绿泥石主要由湄公河提供.在此期间，海平面长时间位于-80 m以下，巽他出露陆架上发育的大型古河流（北巽他河、古昭披耶河及古湄公河）可将来自周边物源区的陆源碎屑物质直接输送到陆架外缘.研究岩心的蒙脱石/（伊利石+绿泥石）比值与海平面变化具有良好的对应关系：当海平面下降时，蒙脱石/（伊利石+绿泥石）比值增大；反之亦然.这一现象表明海平面变化是影响巽他陆架外缘氧同位素3期沉积环境演化的最重要因素，即海平面升降引起的海陆格局变化，特别是古岸线的迁移可显著影响古河流与研究站位间的搬运距离，从而导致周边物源区对陆架外缘的陆源碎屑物质相对贡献量发生变化. 关键词: 粘土矿物 / 氧同位素3期 / 海平面变化 / 陆源碎屑 / 沉积学 / 巽他陆架 / 南海
