Collaborative Research: Lake Baikal Drilling Project: Late Neogene History of Climate Change and Tectonics of Southeastern Siberia

9318683 施特尔默 贝加尔湖钻探项目是一个多机构的努力，调查古气候历史和构造演化的贝加尔湖沉积盆地在晚第三纪。 最近的气候模拟研究预测了贝加尔湖地区对米兰科维奇强迫的反应。 从贝加尔湖沉积物芯获得的代用气候时间序列将为这些类型的模式提供基本的地面实况。 贝加尔湖位于贝加尔裂谷带最大的盆地，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机会，研究一个重要的构造特征的近期演变。 ***

9318683 Stoermer 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. ***
