项目摘要

A series of distinct millennial to centennial scale oceanic and climatic oscillations occurred in the North Atlantic region during the last 3000 years. There is increasing evidence that variable freshwater advection from the Arctic Ocean via the East Greenland Current route and local meltwater supply from the Greenland Ice sheet is linked to these oscillations and caused a widespread decoupling of surface and subsurface water conditions. Particularly within the subpolar North Atlantic this decoupling is documented along the N/NW boundary currents of the Subpolar Gyre, i.e. the East Greenland Current, and West Greenland Current. However, little is known concerning the late Holocene freshwater advection via the second major Arctic Ocean freshwater outflow route, the western Canadian Arctic Archipelago, which strongly influences the Labrador Current properties. The Labrador Current, in turn, together with the East and West Greenland Current affects the Subpolar Gyre circulation, which regulates the heat advection into the northern North Atlantic and thus, northern hemisphere climatic conditions. As only limited information on freshwater outflow changes via the Canadian Arctic Archipelago/Labrador Current route is available, our understanding of millennial to centennial scale North Atlantic climate variability is constrained. The proposed multi-proxy study combining qualitative (foraminifer assemblages) and quantitative (stable isotope and trace element studies, alkenones) reconstructs for the first time, from marine sediment cores, surface (freshwater) and subsurface water conditions on the eastern Canadian shelf at a high resolution. Radiocarbon dates and radionuclide measurements, obtained during a pilot study, prove that these cores, collected in 2015 during the MSM45 and 46 cruises, resolve late Holocene oceanic and climatic changes at a multi-decadal to centennial scale. The proposed multi-proxy investigations of surface and subsurface water properties, spanning the eastern Canadian shelf from Hudson Strait to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, will allow assessing the link between oceanic changes, and the subpolar North Atlantic multi-decadal to centennial scale climate variability during the late Holocene.

在过去的 3000 年里，北大西洋地区发生了一系列独特的千年至百年规模的海洋和气候振荡。越来越多的证据表明，来自北冰洋的淡水平流通过东格陵兰洋流路线和格陵兰冰盖的局部融水供应与这些振荡有关，并导致地表水和地下水条件的广泛脱钩。特别是在副极地北大西洋内，这种脱钩是沿着副极地环流的北/西北边界流（即东格陵兰洋流和西格陵兰洋流）记录的。然而，人们对全新世晚期通过第二条主要北冰洋淡水流出路线——加拿大西部北极群岛的淡水平流知之甚少，它强烈影响拉布拉多洋流的特性。反过来，拉布拉多洋流与东西格陵兰洋流一起影响副极地环流环流，从而调节进入北大西洋北部的热平流，从而调节北半球的气候条件。由于有关通过加拿大北极群岛/拉布拉多海流路线的淡水流出量变化的信息有限，我们对千禧年到百年规模的北大西洋气候变化的理解受到限制。拟议的多代理研究结合了定性（有孔虫组合）和定量（稳定同位素和微量元素研究、烯酮），首次根据加拿大东部陆架的海洋沉积物核心、地表（淡水）和地下水条件进行重建高分辨率。在一项试点研究中获得的放射性碳测年和放射性核素测量结果证明，这些于 2015 年 MSM45 和 46 航行期间收集的岩心能够解决全新世晚期在数十年至百年尺度上的海洋和气候变化。拟议对地表水和地下水性质进行多代理调查，范围涵盖从哈德逊海峡到圣劳伦斯湾的加拿大东部陆架，将有助于评估海洋变化与北大西洋副极地数十年至百年尺度气候之间的联系全新世晚期的变异性。
