| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to clarify climate change history based on sedimentary proxy and to clarify variation mechanism of that change. Lake Biwa was selected as a model field and drilled sediment core taken at the central part of the lake was analyzed biogenic silica contents and total carbon contents as indicators of primary production in the lake. Lake level change history was clarified based on the analysis of acoustic records obtained at the coastal area and sand content profile of drilled core at shallow bottom. A periodicity of ca. 6000 years was shown in the primary production profile. The periodicity of this kind is only found in seasonal insolation change near equatorial area which means climatic variation around Japanese islands is sometimes affected by tropical climate change.
