Holocene climate variability archived in the Puruogangri ice cap
on the central Tibetan Plateau.
Annals of Glaciology, Vol. 43, No. 1, September 2006, pp. 61-69.
DOI: 10.3189/172756406781812357
Two ice cores (118.4 and 214.7 m in length) were collected in 2000
from the Puruogangri ice cap in the center of the Tibetan Plateau (TP)
in a joint US-Chinese collaborative project. These cores yield
paleoclimatic and environmental records extending through the Middle
Holocene, and complement previous ice-core histories from the Dunde
and Guliya ice caps in northeast and northwest Tibet, respectively,
and Dasuopu glacier in the Himalaya. The high-resolution Puruogangri
climate record since AD 1600 details regional temperature and moisture
variability. The post-1920 period is characterized by above-average
annual net balance, contemporaneous with the greatest 18O enrichment
of the last 400 years, consistent with the isotopically inferred
warming observed in other TP ice-core records. On longer timescales
the aerosol history reveals large and abrupt events, one of which
is dated ~4.7 kyr BP and occurs close to the time of a drought that
extended throughout the tropics and may have been associated with
centuries-long weakening of the Asian/Indian/African monsoon system.
The Puruogangri climate history, combined with the other TP ice-core
records, has the potential to provide valuable information on
variations in the strength of the monsoon across the TP during
the Holocene.
STUDY NOTES: Puruogangri ice core oxygen isotopes, dust, ice accumulation,
major anions (chloride, nitrate, sulfate) and cations (sodium,
ammonium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium), presented as
meter, decadal, or centennial averages from 7.0 to 0 ky BP.
