Abstract

Proxies for paleo-circulation are drawing much interest with the recognition that ocean circulation plays an important part in the redistribution of heat and climate change on orbital and millennial timescales. In this review, we will introduce how neodymium isotope ratios of the authigenic fraction of marine sediments can be used as a proxy for ocean circulation along with analytical methods and two case studies. The first case study shows how the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) has varied over the glacial-interglacial and stadial-interstadial periods. The second case study shows how the freshwater budget and water circulation within the Arctic Ocean can be reconstructed for the last glacial period.

해수의 순환이 지구표면의 열 분배 및 궤도함수주기와 천년주기의 기후변화와 밀접한 관계가 있음이 알려지면서 과거 해수의 흐름을 지시할 수 있는 지시자의 개발이 관심을 끌고 있다. 이 논평에서는 해수 자생성 네오디뮴 동위원소 비를 해수순환의 지시자로 활용하는 원리와 분석방법 그리고 두 가지 적용사례를 소개한다. 먼저 지난 빙하기-간빙기와 아빙기-아간빙기에 걸쳐 북대서양심층수 세기의 변화를 명확히 볼 수 있는 예를 소개한다. 다음으로는 북극해에서 담수의 유입과 해수순환을 재구성한 예를 보인다.
