Abstract:

The ocean interacts with the atmosphere, biosphere and cryosphere in a complex way, modulating climate through the storage and transport of heat, nutrients and carbon. As such, it is important that we understand the ways in which the ocean behaves and the factors that can lead to change. In order to gain this understanding, we need to look back into the past, on time scales from recent decadal-scale change, through the abrupt changes of the Pleistocene and back to times when the Earth's climate was significantly different than the Holocene. A key challenge facing the field of palaeoceanography is to combine data and modelling in a common framework. Coupling palaeo-data and models should improve our knowledge of how the Earth works, and perhaps of more direct societal relevance, might enable us to provide better predictive capabilities in climate modelling. In this discussion paper, we examine the motivations, past successes and challenges facing palaeoceanographic studies. We then suggest a number of areas and approaches that we believe will allow palaeoceanography to continue to provide new insights into processes that affect future climate change.

Abstract:

Recent global warming has been addressed due to human activity that causes increased greenhouse gases. However, there are inherent uncertainties in the statement, one of them is the level of natural variability inherent in the climate system. Climate data from measuring instruments are not long enough to evaluate climate variability and current climate evolution. Therefore, we need climate data that has a long back span. To get adequate past climate data, we need natural phenomena which are climate dependent. This natural phenomenon provides a proxy record of the climate. This study of proxy data is the foundation of palaeoclimatology and paleoceanography. Microfossils (i.e., foraminifera, palynomorphs, nannofossils) which in geology are used as a standard tool in biostratigraphy for both age determination and paleoenvironment and correlation, can also be used as a proxy for obtaining paleoclimate and paleoceanography data. Using microfossil as a proxy to study past climate and paleoceanography, we need an understanding of the type of proxy data available and methods used in their analysis.In addition to the dating method (biostratigraphy), there are many climate and oceanography parameters that can be obtained from microfossil proxies such as: sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity, (SST) climate (warm, cold, dry, wet), precipitation, productivity, oxygen content and organic carbon level, deep sea current and ventilation/upwelling, thermocline and mixed layer, variability deep water properties, CCD, bathymetry, sea level change and dissolution. The methods to obtain data fall into some categories e.g., faunal/floral displacement, morphology changes, transfer function/modern analog and isotopic content. Another method that can be used is observing microfossil assemblages and link them to ecological changes associated with climate change and its paleoceanography.A paleoclimate and paleoceanography study using microfossil proxies has been conducted in the Cendrawasih bay, Papua, Indonesia. The study shows that climate in the tropical west Pacific margin (Cendrawasih bay) during Late Pleistocene to Holocene shows high variability. There are nineteen climate changes occurred during Holocene. Early Holocene dated as ca. 11,800-year BP marked by rapid warming with SST differences to last glacial is about 4oC. Early to Middle Holocene (ca. 5960-year BP) marked by increasing temperature up to 2oC, interrupted by cooling at ca. 11230-, 8310- and 7120-years BP. At Middle Holocene temperature decreased rapidly and reached its peak at around ca. 3150-year BP. After cooling at ca. 3150-year BP, temperature increased and then decreased with its peak at ca. 1710-year BP. Since ca. 1710-year BP to Recent, temperature shows warming trend. SST from MAT indicates warming environment near to 1.5oC. The warming trend was interrupted by rapid cooling and warming at ca. 300-year BP. This last warming trend indicates that global warming had started before industrial era and rapid cooling, or warming can occur without anthropogenic gases influence. The typical Holocene climate of warm-wet, dry-cold reverse and become warm-dry, cold-wet during ca. 790-370-year BP and then reversed back to preceding state.Semi-restricted basin occurred since last glacial with anaerobic condition and estuarine circulation system. Warming during interstadial 1e-1a, causing reverse water circulation and basin become sub-aerobic with anti-estuarine circulation. A lot of terrestrial organic matter flow to the bay and increase acidity and carbonate dissolution. High sedimentation found occurred during glacial period especially at the end of glacial period. Rapid warming during late glacial to middle Holocene, rising relative sea level and the bay become more open marine with well oxygenated bottom water and high marine productivity. Warm temperature and deeper thermocline depth (~ 250 m) in west Pacific occurred up to ca. 5960-year BP. Decreasing Sea surface temperature at ca. 5960-year BP and drop of relative sea level causing sub-aerobic condition inside bay. The semi-restricted state with sub-aerobic condition occurred up to Recent.Distribution of Sphaeroidinella group in the tropical west Pacific shows strong correlation with thermocline depth and reflect El Niño frequency event. Early middle Holocene dominated by La Niña-like condition and since Middle Holocene (ca. 5960-year BP) frequent El Niño event began to occur.

Abstract:

Abstract. The Northeast Greenland shelf is highly sensitive to climate and ocean variability because it is swept by the East Greenland Current, which, through the western Fram Strait, forms the main pathway of export of sea ice and cold water masses from the Arctic Ocean into the North Atlantic Ocean. In order to reconstruct the variability of the East Greenland Current and general palaeoceanographic conditions in the area during the Holocene, we carried out benthic foraminiferal assemblage, stable isotope, and sedimentological analyses of a marine sediment core retrieved from the Northeast Greenland shelf (core DA17-NG-ST07-73G). The results reveal significant variations in the water masses and thus in the strength of the East Greenland Current over the last ca. 9.4 kyr. Between 9.4 and 8.2 ka the water column off Northeast Greenland was highly stratified, with cold, sea-ice-loaded surface waters and a strong influx of warm Atlantic Water in the subsurface. At ∼ 8.4 ka a short-lived peak in terrestrial elements may be linked to an influx of iceberg-transported sediments and thus to the so-called 8.2 ka event. Conditions similar to those of the Holocene Thermal Maximum prevailed from 8.2 to 6.2 ka, with a strong influence of the Return Atlantic Current and a weakened transport of Polar Water in the upper East Greenland Current. After 6.2 ka we recorded a return to a more stratified water column with sea-ice-loaded surface waters and still Atlantic-sourced subsurface waters. After 4.2 ka increased Polar Water at the surface of the East Greenland Current and a reduction in the Return Atlantic Water at subsurface levels signifies freshening and reduced stratification of the water column and (near) perennial sea-ice cover. The neoglaciation started at 3.2 ka at our location, characterized by a strengthened East Greenland Current. Cold subsurface-water conditions with possible sea-ice cover and minimum surface-water productivity persisted here throughout the last ∼ 3 kyr.

Abstract:

Abstract High-resolution mapping, sampling and analysis of upper Quaternary southern African continental margin sediments recovered from beyond the Last Glacial Maximum shoreline (>130 m water depth) have expanded our understanding of how marine and terrestrial records are linked over glacial-interglacial climatic cycles. This paper synthesises data currently available from the deep seafloor around southern Africa and, specifically, core sites that demonstrate terrestrial sedimentological connectivity. Several proxies and case studies reveal the evolution of depositional systems, palaeoceanography and palaeoclimate over the last 191 kyr. Hydroacoustic mapping and investigations of submarine canyons have been carried out primarily on the eastern and southwestern margins, while palaeoceanographic productivity and microfossil assemblages have been applied most extensively on the western marine and southern Agulhas Bank. Studies on the western margin indicate that enhanced productivity, less oxygenated bottom waters and reduced marine faunal diversity in the transition to glacial periods, while glacial terminations are associated with reduced productivity and more oxygenated bottom waters. These changes, linked to palaeoceanography and late Quaternary sea-level fluctuations, influence the sedimentary record and sedimentation rates. On the eastern margin, sediment fluxes applied as proxies for rainfall offshore of the Great Kei, Umzimvubu, Limpopo and Zambezi rivers indicate that the southern African climate responds to changes in orbitally-modulated insolation and in particular, to the ~23 kyr precessional cycle, where the proxy records keep pace with this and then diverge at ~80 to 70 kyr. Since the penultimate glacial (Marine Isotope Stage/MIS 6), more humid conditions observed in southern Africa, as the Northern Hemisphere entered phases of rapid cooling, were potentially driven by a combination of warming in the Agulhas Current and shifts of the subtropical anticyclones. Broadly, the sedimentary records reviewed suggest fluctuations in climate and oceanographic circulation that are strongly correlated with the global benthic δ18O record, suggesting sensitivity to high-latitude forcing, and a strong influence of late Quaternary glacial-interglacial cycles despite these marine sites being far-removed from terrestrial environments.

Abstract:

Abstract. Multiproxy analyses (including benthic and planktonic foraminifera, δ18O and δ13C records, grain-size distribution, ice-rafted debris, XRF geochemistry and magnetic susceptibility) were performed on a 14C-dated marine sediment core from Storfjordrenna, located off of southern Svalbard. The sediments in the core cover the termination of Bølling–Allerød, the Younger Dryas and the Holocene and reflect general changes in the oceanography/climate of the European Arctic after the last glaciation. Grounded ice of the last Svalbard–Barents Sea Ice Sheet retreated from the coring site ca. 13 950 cal yr BP. During the transition from the subglacial to glaciomarine setting, Arctic Waters dominated the hydrography in Storfjordrenna. However, the waters were not uniformly cold and experienced several warmer spells. A progressive warming and marked change in the nature of the hydrology occurred during the early Holocene. Relatively warm and saline Atlantic Water began to dominate the hydrography starting from approximately 9600 cal yr BP. Although the climate in eastern Svalbard was milder at that time than at present (smaller glaciers), two periods of slight cooling were observed in 9000–8000 and 6000–5500 cal yr BP. A change in the Storfjordrenna oceanography occurred at the beginning of the late Holocene (i.e. 3600 cal yr BP) synchronously with glacier growth on land and enhanced bottom current velocities. Although cooling was observed in the Surface Water, Atlantic Water remained present in the deeper portion of the water column of Storfjordrenna.

Abstract:

The Pliocene is important in the geological evolution of the high northern latitudes. It marks the transition from restricted local- to extensive regional-scale glaciations on the circum-Arctic continents between 3.6 and 2.4 Ma. Since the Arctic Ocean is an almost land-locked basin, tectonic activity and sea-level fluctuations controlled the geometry of ocean gateways and continental drainage systems, and exerted a major influence on the formation of continental ice sheets, the distribution of river run-off, and the circulation and water mass characteristics in the Arctic Ocean. The effect of a water mass exchange restricted to the Bering and Fram Straits on the oceanography is unknown, but modelling experiments suggest that this must have influenced the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. Cold conditions associated with perennial sea-ice cover might have prevailed in the central Arctic Ocean throughout the Pliocene, whereas colder periods alternated with warmer seasonally ice-free periods in the marginal areas. The most pronounced oceanographic change occurred in the Mid-Pliocene when the circulation through the Bering Strait reversed and low-salinity waters increasingly flowed from the North Pacific into the Arctic Ocean. The excess freshwater supply might have facilitated sea-ice formation and contributed to a decrease in the Atlantic overturning circulation.

Abstract:

Upper Maastrichtian chalks form important hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Danish sector of the North Sea and have been intensively studied, yet their lithological uniformity can frustrate attempts to develop a high-resolution stratigraphic subdivision and a genetic understanding of the factors controlling production and sedimentation of the pelagic carbonate ooze. Recent research into these topics, supported by the Danish Energy Authority, was carried out by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) in collaboration with the Geological Institute, University of Copenhagen by means of a multidisciplinary study involvingquantitative/semiquantitative palynology, micropalaeontology (nannofossils, foraminifers) and isotope geochemistry, integrated with detailed sedimentology. Two key wells were selected, the M-10X well from the Dan Field and the E-5X well from the Tyra SE Field (Fig. 1), based on the extensive core coverage in these wells and on their position in the southern part of the Danish Central Graben where evidence of large-scale resedimentation (and consequent stratigraphic complexity) is uncommon within the Maastrichtian section. In focusing on such a pelagic carbonate system, the ultimate aim is a holistic understanding of the marine system including temperature variation, nutrient supply and distribution, salinity, watermass layering, circulation and oxygen distribution. All these factors influence organic productivity and thus the accumulation of biogenic sediment. This study concentrated on a number of palaeoceanographic signals that can be derived from the sedimentary record, summarised in Fig. 2. Planktonic organisms, both phytoplankton (e.g. coccolithophores, some dinoflagellates) and zooplankton (e.g. foraminifers) provide a record of conditions in the upperwatermasses, largely within the photic zone, while bottom conditions are indicated by epifaunal/infaunal organisms (e.g. benthic foraminifers) and bioturbation, and by the sedimentological evidence of depositional processes at the sea floor. On a larger scale, the input of terrestrial organic material relative to the marine component can provide an indirect measure of shoreline migration and thus relative sea-level change, a factor that is also reflected in the δ13C isotopic composition of the seawater, as recorded by the biogenic carbonate ooze.
