英文摘要 | To explore the relationship between the global cooling, westerlies, and central Asian aridity, we report similar to 1.1 Ma local sedimentary environment changes according to physical-chemical parameters from an 800-m core (KT11) from the Kashgar region in the western Tarim Basin, China. Grain size end-member (EM) modelling is employed to quantify the processes of sediment transport and deposition. Four end members with modal values of 272 mu m, 144 mu m, 45.6 mu m and 12.7 mu m were extracted and explained 97.9% of the variance in the grain size data, corresponding aeolian dynamics, river energies, delta development and pedogenesis/long-term suspension components transported by wind or water, respectively. Four dominant sedimentation types, including lacustrine facies, delta facies, fluvial facies, and aeolian dunes, were identified through lithology and grain size frequency curves. The 1.1 Ma sedimentary successions experienced delta deposits interbedded with fluvial and aeolian deposits and lacustrines (1.1-0.6 Ma), alternating fluvial and aeolian facies with the occurrence of deltas and lacustrines (0.6-0.15 Ma), and aeolian facies interbedded with deltas and fluvial facies (0.15 Ma-present). Stepwise drying sedimentary conditions and enhanced desertification indicated by increasing rubidium/strontium ratios and proportion of aeolian sands, and decreasing total organic carbon since the past 1.1 Ma, implied intensified westerlies, likely resulted from ice volume expansion and ongoing global cooling according to geological record comparison and simulations during the Last Glacial Maximum compared to preindustrial conditions, which may have controlled the expansion of the permanent deserts in inland Asia. These persistent drying trends and intensified westerly circulation in arid regions during glacial periods after the mid-Pleistocene Transition indicated by larger amplitudes of aeolian sand proportion than prior to 0.6 Ma are similar to those in the interior monsoonal Asia, where the larger-amplitude of median grain size indicated enhanced Asian winter monsoon intensity and drier glacials. |
