北大西洋过去是环流驱动的气候突变的关键所在地,今后也可能发挥类似的作用。突然的冷逆转,包括8.2 ka的事件,打断了否则温暖的全新世早期在北大西洋地区,并作为有用的古气候变化的例子。在这项工作中,我们评估了冰冻圈的反应,早全新世气候历史巴芬岛,加拿大北极,利用宇宙成因放射性核素测年的冰碛。我们提出了39个新的10 Be年龄从四套多峰早全新世冰碛冰斗冰川和冰帽出口冰川沉积,以及不稳定的巨石沿着相邻的峡湾,以限制区域冰川消退的时间。一个冰碛的年龄是另外的限制由原位14 C测量,这证实了10 Be遗传在一些样品。所有四个冰碛都是在距今9.2 ~ 8.0 ka之间沉积的,它们的平均年龄与格陵兰冰芯记录的9.3 ~ 8.2 ka的突然冷却相吻合。淡水输送到北大西洋,减少了温暖的大西洋水流入巴芬湾的流量,可以解释冰川前进的短暂间隔,虽然冰碛的形成不能肯定地联系到百年尺度的冷逆转。因此,我们探讨其他可能的影响因素,包括冰动力学有关的劳伦泰德冰盖出口冰川退缩。使用数值冰川模型,我们表明,干谷冰川消退的去支撑效应可能有助于这些冰碛建设事件。这些新的年龄限制和过程的见解突出了复杂的行为,在区域冰川消退的冰冻圈,并建议,多个突然的冷逆转,以及冰消冰的动态可能发挥了作用,在巴芬岛全新世早期冰碛的形成。
The North Atlantic was a key locus for circulation-driven abrupt climate change in the past and could play a similar role in the future. Abrupt cold reversals, including the 8.2 ka event, punctuated the otherwise warm early Holocene in the North Atlantic region and serve as useful paleo examples of rapid climate change. In this work, we assess the cryospheric response to early Holocene climate history on Baffin Island, Arctic Canada, using cosmogenic radionuclide dating of moraines. We present 39 new10Be ages from four sets of multi-crested early Holocene moraines deposited by cirque glaciers and ice cap outlet glaciers, as well as erratic boulders along adjacent fiords to constrain the timing of regional deglaciation. The age of one moraine is additionally constrained byin situ14C measurements, which confirm10Be inheritance in some samples. All four moraines were deposited between ∼9.2 and 8.0 ka, and their average ages coincide with abrupt coolings at 9.3 and 8.2 ka that are recorded in Greenland ice cores. Freshwater delivery to the North Atlantic that reduced the flux of warm Atlantic water into Baffin Bay may explain brief intervals of glacier advance, although moraine formation cannot be definitively tied to centennial-scale cold reversals. We thus explore other possible contributing factors, including ice dynamics related to retreat of Laurentide Ice Sheet outlet glaciers. Using a numerical glacier model, we show that the debuttressing effect of trunk valley deglaciation may have contributed to these moraine-building events. These new age constraints and process insights highlight the complex behavior of the cryosphere during regional deglaciation and suggest that multiple abrupt cold reversals—as well as deglacial ice dynamics—likely played a role in early Holocene moraine formation on Baffin Island.
