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

贝加尔湖钻探项目是研究晚新近世贝加尔湖沉积盆地古气候历史和构造演化的多机构合作项目。最近的气候模拟研究预测了贝加尔湖地区响应米兰科维奇强迫的预期温度模式。从贝加尔湖沉积物岩心获得的代用气候时间序列将为这些类型的模式提供必要的地面真实性。贝加尔湖位于世界上两大大陆裂谷带之一的贝加尔湖裂谷带中最大的盆地。因此，贝加尔湖为研究一个重要构造特征的近期演化提供了机会。* * *

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. ***
