英文摘要 | In our research work, the central focus is upon the multi-proxy analysis of sediment core recovered in sebkha Mhabeul (southeastern Tunisia), provides the first high-resolution, continuous sedimentary record in the region, extending back to mid Holocene. The integration of sedimentary facies, elemental geochemistry and magnetic susceptibility, together with an age model based on tephrochronology, enable reconstruction of the main hydrological and climate changes in the region. Arid conditions, represented by thick gypsum interval at the bottom of Mh2 core occurred during Bronze Age. However, the period extending from Iron Age to the Present time is characterized by alternating episodes of higher effective moisture and severely arid climatic conditions. Magnetic and geochemical compositions provide information concerning changes of elemental and mineralogical compositions from flood events materials interrupted by thin deposits of aeolian origin. Indeed, six binary data consist of dominant silty fractions rich in heavy minerals and increasing with wadi-derived elements like Na2O/K2O and Na2O/Fe2O3. These wadi sediments are covered with sandy/silty Saharan aeolian input occurring commonly after rapid and short climate change towards drier conditions. These sandstorm events are known for increasing redox-sensitive elements Na2O/K2O. |
