项目摘要

This proposal will carry out Holocene paleomagnetic field secular variation (PSV) studies on five lakes from Tropical East Africa (Turkana, Malawi, Tanganyika, Edward, Victoria). We will recover PSV records from at least two sediment cores in each lake and develop a composite PSV directional record from them. We will correlate the directional PSV records from all five lakes and date the records with C14 dating. We will also attempt to reconstruct relative paleointensity variability from each lake. Our preliminary data suggest we can do this for at least one lake, Malawi. This work will permit us to develop a regional group of PSV time series that will characterize field variability in a region where almost nothing is known in high-resolution. A high-resolution relative paleointensity record from Lake Malawi (10°S) would be the first such Holocene record from the Southern Hemisphere. The study will analyze these records and compare them with other global Holocene PSV data to assess geodynamo dynamics. USC researchers have developed a new model of Holocene field variability (PSVMOD2.0), based on a family of Global PSV time series for the last 8000 years. PSVMOD2.0 now has 85 sites around the World, which yield 72 directional PSV time series and 35 paleointensity time series. However, PSVMOD2.0 has no significant data from the African continent and no paleointensity time series from the Southern Hemisphere. This study of African lakes will add significantly to the quality of PSVMOD2.0. The African PSV data will also be used to better assess the timing and regional pattern of Holocene climate change in the studied lakes. PSV has previously been used very effectively as a high-resolution correlation and dating tool in paleoclimate studies. PSVMOD2.0 should become a community database used by a variety of scientists to better understand PSV and geodynamo dynamics. We still do not understand very well how our planetary magnetic field works (and largely the way all planetary magnetic fields and stellar magnetic fields work) under normal conditions. We know that these magnetic fields are generated by flow of electrically conducting fluid below the planetary/stellar surfaces (dynamo action), but current models of these processes (dynamo models) do not adequately describe how these fields really operate (particularly the Earth's magnetic field and our Sun's magnetic field). We need a more complete understanding of how our magnetic field operates under normal conditions to better constrain future dynamo models. The best (and only) way to do that is to reconstruct how our field has varied over the last several thousand years. (Dating errors make this analysis difficult to impossible in older times.) We currently have measured variations in Earth's magnetic field over the last few thousand years over less than half the Earth's surface. This project fills in a big hole in our understanding the central African continent. Better understanding of how the Earth's magnetic field operates normally (last few thousand years) will also give us a better way to assess what the Earth's magnetic field is doing when it 'goes screwy'. These periods are called magnetic field excursions and reversals.
该提案将对热带东非的五个湖泊(图尔卡纳、马拉维、坦噶尼喀、爱德华、维多利亚)开展全新世古磁场长期变化(PSV)研究。我们将从每个湖泊的至少两个沉积物岩心中恢复 PSV 记录,并从中开发复合 PSV 方向记录。我们将关联所有五个湖泊的定向 PSV 记录,并使用 C14 测年法对记录进行年代测定。我们还将尝试重建每个湖泊的相对古强度变化。我们的初步数据表明,我们可以对至少一个湖泊(马拉维)做到这一点。这项工作将使我们能够开发一个 PSV 时间序列的区域组,该组将表征一个几乎不知道高分辨率的区域的场变化。 马拉维湖(南纬 10°)的高分辨率相对古强度记录将是南半球第一个此类全新世记录。该研究将分析这些记录,并将其与其他全球全新世 PSV 数据进行比较,以评估地球发电机动力学。南加州大学研究人员基于过去 8000 年的全球 PSV 时间序列系列,开发了全新世场变异性的新模型 (PSVMOD2.0)。 PSVMOD2.0目前在全球拥有85个站点,产生72个方向PSV时间序列和35个古强度时间序列。然而,PSVMOD2.0没有来自非洲大陆的重要数据,也没有来自南半球的古强度时间序列。这项针对非洲湖泊的研究将显着提高 PSVMOD2.0 的质量。非洲 PSV 数据还将用于更好地评估所研究湖泊全新世气候变化的时间和区域模式。 PSV 此前已被非常有效地用作古气候研究中的高分辨率关联和年代测定工具。 PSVMOD2.0 应该成为各种科学家使用的社区数据库,以更好地了解 PSV 和地球发电机动力学。我们仍然不太了解正常条件下我们的行星磁场是如何工作的(很大程度上是所有行星磁场和恒星磁场的工作方式)。我们知道这些磁场是由行星/恒星表面下方的导电流体流动(发电机作用)产生的,但这些过程的当前模型(发电机模型)并不能充分描述这些场的实际运作方式(特别是地球磁场和太阳磁场)。我们需要更全面地了解磁场在正常条件下如何运作,以更好地约束未来的发电机模型。做到这一点的最好(也是唯一)方法是重建我们的领域在过去几千年中的变化。 (年代测定误差使得这种分析在旧时代变得困难甚至不可能。)我们目前已经测量了过去几千年来地球磁场在不到一半的地球表面上的变化。这个项目填补了我们了解中非大陆的一个大漏洞。更好地了解地球磁场如何正常运行(过去几千年)也将为我们提供更好的方法来评估地球磁场在“变得扭曲”时的作用。这些周期称为磁场偏移和反转。
