| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to reconstruct annual- to orbital-scale paleoclimatic changes in the mid-Cretaceous and early Eocene “greenhouse” periods, the present study examined two of lacustrine varve records of the Shinekhudag Formation in Mongolia and the Green River Formation in Utah, USA.
Based on annually-resolving analyses of lake algal productivity and decadally-resolving analysis of precipitation proxy from the Shinekhudag Formation, we found that solar influence of decadal- to millennial-scale climatic oscillations (ca. 11, 90-125, 210-240, 400-500, 1000-1450, 2000-2300 years cycle) were existed during the mid-Cretaceous “greenhouse” period.
Based on the sedimentary facies analysis and major and minor elemental composition analysis from the Green River Formation, we found that the lake productivity changes were controlled by orbital insolation changes during the early Eocene “greenhouse” period.
