摘要
In this paper, authors report some results obtained from systematic rock magnetic measurements on Core NP95 1 and Core NG93 1 , which were collected from the Prydz Bay, Eastern Antarctica and Great Wall Bay (Maxwell Bay), Western Antarctica respectively during the 11th and 9th CHINARE and a sequence of paleoclimate variations is well established based on sediment rock magnetic properties. In Antarctica, the magnetic properties show a close linkage to paleoenvironmental variations. The Core NP95 1 well recorded several paleoclimatic events, such as Heinrich event 1, Bolling Allerod warm period and Younger Dryas cold event. The Heinrich event 1 occurred at about 14 2 ka B.P., Younger Dryas cold event occurred between 11 7 ka B.P. and 10 3 ka B.P., and the boundary of Pleistocene and Holocene in Antarctica is 10 3 ka B.P.. In Holocene, two warm periods were recorded at about 10 0 ka B.P. and 6 0 ka B.P. with a little cold period between them. After 6 0 ka B.P. , two cores both recorded a cold climatic oscillation. Paleoclimate described by two cores rock magnetic measurements was simultaneously changed in Eastern and Western Antarctica during the same period two cores commonly covered.
