2016 Fiscal Year Annual Research Report

An improved radiocarbon calibration dataset from Lake Suigetsu (Japan) by application of an advanced varve interpolation algorithm to an extended Lake Suigetsu varve chronology

Research Project

Project/Area Number	15H06905
Research Institution	Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology
Principal Investigator	Schlolaut Gordon 国立研究開発法人海洋研究開発機構, 海洋掘削科学研究開発センター, ポストドクトラル研究員 (50760641)
Project Period (FY)	2015-08-28 – 2017-03-31
Keywords	Chronology / Suigetsu / Varves / Palaeolimnology / Palaeoclimatology
Outline of Annual Research Achievements	Varve counting down to the varve limit of the SG06 sediment profile is finished. Alongside a new high resolution flood chronology was created (presented at EGU2017). A working version of the new Varve Interpolation Programme has been created, which is superior to the old version in virtually every aspect. The Mondsee chronology for testing has been replaced by Rehwiese and Meerfelder Maar data (both from Germany). Additionally a comparison of event layer distances in the SG06 and SG12 sediment profiles was created to gain an understanding of differential sedimentation in the lake. Results from microfacies analysis of the Late Glacial sediments were published in Nature Scientific Reports and presented at EGU2016 (preliminary results) and AGU2016 (final results).
