Chronology for the EDML ice core from Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, over the last 150 000 years

A chronology called EDML1 has been developed for the EPICA ice core from Dronning Maud Land (EDML). EDML1 is closely interlinked with EDC3, the new chronology for the EPICA ice core from Dome-C (EDC) through a stratigraphic match between EDML and EDC that consists of 322 volcanic match points over the last 128 ka. The EDC3 chronology comprises a glaciological model at EDC, which is constrained and later selectively tuned using primary dating information from EDC as well as from EDML, the latter being transferred using the tight stratigraphic link between the two cores. Finally, EDML1 was built by exporting EDC3 to EDML. For ages younger than 41 ka BP the new synchronized time scale EDML1/EDC3 is based on dated volcanic events and on a match to the Greenlandic ice core chronology GICC05 via 10Be and methane. The internal consistency between EDML1 and EDC3 is estimated to be typically ~6 years and always less than 450 years over the last 128 ka (always less than 130 years over the last 60 ka), which reflects an unprecedented synchrony of time scales. EDML1 ends at 150 ka BP (2417 m depth) because the match between EDML and EDC becomes ambiguous further down. This hints at a complex ice flow history for the deepest 350 m of the EDML ice core.

Organic geochemistry of Late Cretaceous to Paleogene sediments from MITI Sanriku-oki borehole

Perylene is present in high concentration in Paleogene sediments from the Sanriku-oki borehole of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), northeastern Japan. The borehole penetrates a thick sequence of Late Cretaceous to Neogene sediments deposited under a range of conditions, including fluvial-deltaic and shallow marine. Organic petrological and geochemical data show the sediments to be rich in organic matter (OM) derived from higher plants. Biomarker analysis of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons confirms a significant input from higher plants, with extracts dominated by numerous gymnosperm- and angiosperm-derived biomarkers such as diterpanes, oleanenes, des-A-triterpanes and their aromatized counterparts. The highest concentration of perylene occurs in Middle Eocene sediments deposited in a relatively reducing environment. Stable carbon isotope compositions show 13C enrichment in perylene compared to gymnosperm and angiosperm biomarkers, consistent with a fungal origin. This elevated abundance of sedimentary perylene could relate to a Paleogene continental climate where fungi probably flourished.

Humic acids in bottom sediments of the Western Pacific

Elemental composition, functional groups, and molecular mass distribution were determined in humic acids from the Western Pacific abyssal and coastal bottom sediments. Humic acid structure was studied by oxidative degradation with alkaline nitrobenzene and potassium permanganate, p-coumaric, guaiacilic, and syringilic structural units typical for lignin of terrestrial plants were identified in humic acids by chromatographic analysis of oxidation products. Polysubstituted and polycondensed aromatic systems with minor proportion of aliphatic structures were basic structural units of humic acids in abyssal sediments.
