英文摘要 | Hydroclimatic variability in the tropical Pacific reflects large-scale ocean-atmosphere processes that imprint on global climate, but tropical Pacific hydroclimate variability over the last millennium remains uncertain. Here we present a multi-proxy reconstruction from a lacustrine sediment record on Kiritimati Atoll that spans the last millennium. A lake salinity reconstruction from the delta H-2 values of total lipid extracts, combined with changes in sediment mineralogy and the stable isotopic composition of inorganic carbonates, indicate the presence of several distinct hydrologic regimes on Kiritimati, including a period of persistent aridity from 960-1030 CE, shorter episodes of aridity from 1030-1370 CE, and extreme aridity throughout the latter half of the last millennium, from 1370-1970 CE, that drove complete evaporation of the lake. A period of wetter, variable conditions defines recent decades. Compound-specific lipid biomarker delta H-2 values indicate that shifts in microbial community structure occurred in the past, from a community dominated by photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic organisms in more arid periods to a more metabolically diverse community in the recent period. Comparison of this record with nearby sediment records from Washington Island reveals a similar pattern of aridity through the last millennium, followed by wetter conditions in the modern period. These coherent changes in hydroclimate in the central Pacific are inconsistent with a migration of the Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone within these latitudes. Rather, past aridity was caused by reduced El Nino-Southern Oscillation variability, observed through the low-pass filter of lacustrine records, or by multidecadal to multi-century strengthening of the Pacific Walker Circulation. |
