Laschamp Excursion at Mono Lake?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Laschamp Geomagnetic Excursion (ca. 41 ka) and a related increase of cosmogenic nuclides provides a global tie point among sedimentary and ice core records. In the Wilson Creek Formation, Mono Lake, California, the Laschamp Excursion has not been recognized although the so-called Mono Lake excursion was found in the section with an estimated age of about 28 14C ka. However, our reevaluation of the age of the Mono Lake excursion at its type locality using new 14C dates on carbonates and 40Ar/39Ar sanidine dates on ash layers yields an estimate of 38^41 ka. This chronology and the absence of a second excursion in the Wilson Creek Formation suggest that the distinct paleomagnetic feature with negative inclinations at Mono Lake is correlative with the Laschamp Excursion. ß 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Dynamics of the Laschamp geomagnetic excursion from Black Sea sediments
Investigated sediment cores from the southeastern Black Sea provide a high-resolution record from mid latitudes of the Laschamp geomagnetic polarity excursion. Age constraints are provided by 16 AMS C ages, identification of the Campanian Ignimbrite tephra (39.2870.11 ka), and by detailed tuning of sedimentologic parameters of the Black Sea sediments to the oxygen isotope record from the Greenl...

Paleointensity of the earth's magnetic field during the Laschamp excursion and its geomagnetic implications
The reversed paleomagnetic direction of the Laschamp and Olby flows represents a specific feature of the geomagnetic field. This is supported by paleomagnetic evidence, showing that the same anomalous direction was recorded at several distinct sites, including scoria of the Laschamp volcano. To examine this anomalous geomagnetic fluctuation; we studied the paleointensity of the Laschamp and Olb...
متن کاملThe Laschamp geomagnetic excursion featured in nitrate record from EPICA-Dome C ice core
Here we present the first direct comparison of cosmogenic (10)Be and chemical species in the period of 38-45.5 kyr BP spanning the Laschamp geomagnetic excursion from the EPICA-Dome C ice core. A principal component analysis (PCA) allowed to group different components as a function of the main sources, transport and deposition processes affecting the atmospheric aerosol at Dome C. Moreover, a w...
متن کاملAn impending geomagnetic transition? Hints from the past
The rapid decrease of the geomagnetic field intensity in the last centuries has led to speculations that an attempt to a reversal or an excursion might be under way. Here we investigate this hypothesis by examining past records of geomagnetic field intensity obtained from sedimentary cores and from the study of cosmogenic nuclides. The selected records describe geomagnetic changes with an unpre...
