Collab. Research: Baikal Drilling Project: Late Neogene History of Climate Change and Tectonics in Southern Siberia

9316061尤雷蒂克贝加尔湖钻井项目是一个多机构合作的项目，旨在研究贝加尔湖沉积盆地晚第三纪的古气候历史和构造演化。最近的气候模拟研究预测了贝加尔地区在米兰科维奇强迫下预计的温度模式。从贝加尔湖沉积岩心获得的替代气候时间序列将为这些类型的模型提供必要的地面真实信息。贝加尔湖位于贝加尔裂谷带中最大的盆地，贝加尔裂谷带是世界上两大大陆裂谷带之一。因此，贝加尔湖提供了一个研究一个重要构造特征的近期演化的机会。***

9316061 Yuretich The Baikal Drilling Project is a multi-institutional effort to investigate the paleoclimatic history and tectonic evolution of the Lake Baikal sedimentary basin in the Late Neogene. Recent climate modelling studies have predicted the pattern of temperature expected for the Baikal region in response to Milankovitch forcing. Proxy climate time series obtained from Baikal sediment cores will provide essental ground truthing for these types of models. Lake Baikal occupies the largest basin in the Baikal Rift Zone, one of the two major continental rift zones in the world. Hence, Lake Baikal provides an opportunity to study the recent evolution of an important tectonic feature. ***
