Attempt of absolute dating and reconstitutions of climate changes in the Caribbean Sea: multi-proxy approaches to planktonic foraminifera and fine aragonitic fraction

Absolute dating of climate archives is essential to better understand climate mechanisms. A marine sediment core from the Caribbean Sea enriched in fine-grained aragonite (suitable to U/Th dating) has been studied for both planktonic foraminiferal tests (>150 μm) and fine fraction (<63 μm) ove...

description Absolute dating of climate archives is essential to better understand climate mechanisms. A marine sediment core from the Caribbean Sea enriched in fine-grained aragonite (suitable to U/Th dating) has been studied for both planktonic foraminiferal tests (>150 μm) and fine fraction (<63 μm) over the last one million years using mineralogical and geochemical approaches. This study aims at i) examining lead/lag of δ18O and radiometric ages of the different-size fractions and ii) reconstructing paleoenvironment in the area. The fine fraction mineralogy is strongly influenced by glacial-interglacial sea level changes. The offset of δ18O and 14C ages between the fine and foraminiferal fractions during Termination I is partly explained by a bioturbation model. Attempt of U/Th dating to Termination II and V reveals that the fine fraction contains non-radiogenic Th, which needs further analytical development. Reconstructed surface water δ18O changes suggest a decrease in surface water salinity at the end of Mid-Pleistocene Transition related to ITCZ position over the Caribbean Sea. La datation absolue des archives climatiques est essentielle pour comprendre les mécanismes du climat. Cette étude a porté sur la fraction fine (<63 μm) riche en aragonite (adaptée à la datation U/Th) et sur les tests de foraminifères planctoniques (>150 μm) d'une carotte de sédiments marins de la Mer des Caraïbes couvrant le dernier million d'années, en utilisant une approche minéralogique et des traceurs géochimiques. Les objectifs sont : 1) évaluer le synchronisme entre le δ18O et les âges absolus de deux fractions de tailles différentes et 2) reconstruire les paléoenvironnements de la zone. La minéralogie de la fraction fine est contrôlée par les changements du niveau marin à l'échelle glaciaire-interglaciaire. Les décalages temporels entre le δ18O et le 14C des deux fractions durant la Terminaison I sont en partie expliqués par un modèle de bioturbation. Les essais de datation U/Th sur la fraction fine des Terminaisons II et ...
