Abstract

To understand paleoceanographic environmental changes in the Esat Sea during the transitional period between Holocene and last glacial maximum, geochemical high resolution study was conducted by using a piston core(95PC-1) samples collected from the southernmost part of the Ulleung Basin. Geochemical results reveal that major distinctive paleoceanographic variations in transitional period are prominent. Major elemental concentrations show distinctive variations between glacial and Holocene suggesting changes in sediment supply. $TiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio of the sediment indicates different sediment composition between Holocene and glacial period. The content of total organic carbon ranging from 0.5% to 4% during transitional period. These vslues showed 2-4 times and two times higher than those of last glacial and Holocene, respectively. The C/N ratios deduced from organic matters exceed10 during transitional period suggesting terrigenous organic matter are supplied from continent, especially during last glacial maximum. Carbonate contents are relatively stable during Holocene and last glacial maximum with gradual decrease during glacial period with high fluctuation during transitional period. The variations of chemical index of weathering (CIW) also show a distinctive variation between glacial and Holocene, which is coincident with those of carbonate and organic carbon. The grain size distribution indicates that the difference content of silt fraction during Holocene and glacial period is closely related with climatic effect during glacial period. Therefore geochemical differences in sediment composition between Holocene and last glacial maximum is thought to be related to paleoceanographic, sea-level change and local paleoclimatic changes.

최종빙기와 흘로세 사이의 전이기에 일어난 동해의 고해양환경 변화를 이해하기 위하여 울릉분지 최남단 대륙사면에서 얻어진 주상시료(95PC-1)퇴적물에 대한 지화학적 고분해 연구를 하였다. 지화학적 결과는 주요 고행양학적변화가 이 전이기에 뚜렷하게 일어나고 있음을 밝히고 있다. 주요원소를 분석한 결과 최종빙기와 홀로세 사이에 뚜렷한 퇴적물의 조성변화를 보이고 있으며 이는 퇴적물의 공급변화가 수반되었음을 지시하고 있다. 퇴적물 중의 $TiO_2/Al_2O_3$는 흘로세와 최종빙기의 퇴적물 조성이 다름을 지시하고 있다. 유기탄소 함량도 약 $0.5{\sim}4%$ 정도의 폭으로 변화하고 있으며 이러한 변화는 평균적인 최종빙기와 간빙기(흘로세)의 값과 비교했을 때 각각 $2{\sim}4$배, 2배 정도 증가하여 전이기에 생물생산이 증가한 것임을 알 수 있다. 대륙기원 유기물의 유입을 지시하는 C/N비도 이 전이기를 중심으로 10이상을 보이고 있어 유기물이 인근 대륙으로부터 유입되었음을 지시하고 있으며, 특히 최종빙기 동안에는 활발하게 대륙으로부터 유기물이 유입되었음을 알 수 있다. 탄산염 함량변화는 흘로세 기간동안에는 비교적 안정하여 약 2.5%전후의 값을 보이고 있다가 전이기에 큰 폭의 변화를 보이면서 최종빙기에는 점진적으로 감소하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 퇴적물의 화학원소에 근거한 풍화지수(CIW)를 조사해본 결과 약 1만년을 경계로 뚜렷하게 변화하고 있으며 이러한 점은 유기물과 탄산염에 나타난 전이기와 잘 일치하고 있다. 입도분석 결과 나타난 최종빙기와 흘로세 간의 실트질 퇴적물의 함량차이는 빙기동안에 강해진 기후요소와 밀접히 관계되는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 전이기에 나타나는 지화학적 기록변화는 해수면 상승과 결부된 해양환경변화 및 지역적인 기후변동과도 밀접히 관계되고 있음을 지시한다.
