East Asian Monsoon System
Investigations of the East Asian monsoon system over the last glacial-interglacial cycle are based on sediments of small lakes with high sedimentation rates from South- and Northeast-China. Main aspects of palaeoclimatic reconstructions are variations of precipitation and dust flux, as well as vegetation dynamics.
Erlongwan – Sediment magnetism
Laminated sediments from Erlongwan maar lake, NE China, were subjected to magnetostratigraphic investigations in order to obtain information on the varibility of the geomagnetic field during the last 40,000 years in NE Asia.
Huguang Maar Lake – Rock magnetics
Rock magnetic studies are extensively used to check the reliability of the geomagnetic record in sediment successions.
Lake Huguangyan (Huguang-Maar) - Monsoon variability in Southeast China
A. Lücke (FZ Jülich)The Huguangyan (Huguang maar lake) provides a high-resolution, continuous terrestrial archive of monsoonal variability in South China for the last 40,000 years.
East Asian monsoon variability over the last 65.000 years – laminated lake sediments of NE-China, Lake Sihailongwan
Laminated sediments from a small maar lake allow a high-resolution reconstruction of East Asian monsoon variability on a calendar year scale back to 65,000 years BP.
Lake Suigetsu - palaeoclimate archive
Varve chronology and high-resolution vegetation and climate dynamics in central Japan during the last glacial (ca. 10-50 kyr BP) derived from the Lake Suigetsu sediment record
Palaeoclimate and Atmospheric CO2 during the last glacial and Holocene
Reconstruction of CO2 during the last glacial and Holocene using stomata of leaves preserved in the varved maar lake sediments in NE China
