摘要: 通过野外实地调查,在渭河中游咸阳市南寺村一级阶地的全新世黄土-古土壤剖面,发现了含有波状水平层理的古洪水滞流沉积层,对所采集的全新世地层样品进行了粒度、磁化率、烧失量、CaCO3和石英颗粒微结构表面特征分析,表明古洪水滞流沉积物(SWD)平均粒径小,磁化率值低,CaCO3含量高,石英颗粒表面“V”形坑和三角痕明显等特征,与风成黄土和古土壤差别显著,判定为典型的古洪水滞流沉积物。通过OSL(光释光)测年及地层学对比,确定古洪水SWD记录了渭河中游3 200~2 800 aBP发生的一组3次古洪水事件,正处于全新世大暖期向晚期转变的过渡时期,气候不稳定,降水变率大,引发了连续的特大洪水事件。此研究成果对于揭示区域水文变化对全球气候变化的响应规律具有重要科学意义。

Abstract: Based on the field investigation, a Holocene paleo-flood slackwater deposit (SWD) in a Holocene loesspaleosol profile was found in middle reaches of the Weihe River Basin. The grain size, magnetic susceptibility, CaCO3, loss-on-ignition and surface micro-structure of quartz grains were analyzed in laboratory. The results showed that the properties of SWD were different from those of loess and paleosol. This SWD is identified as the most typical Holocene paleoflood deposit. According to the OSL dating and stratigraphy comparison, the age of the SWD was identified during 3 200-2 800 aBP, which just was the transition period from the mid-Holocene climatic optimum toward the late Holocene dry conditions, and the unstable climatic system and the weakening summer monsoon brought out a sharp change of precipitation and caused the occurrence of extreme paleo-flood. This study results are of great scientific significance in understanding the local hydrology change response to global change.
