    In:  Supplement to: Kostrova, Svetlana S; Meyer, Hanno; Fernandoy, Francisco; Werner, Martin; Tarasov, Pavel E (2020): Moisture origin and stable isotope characteristics of precipitation in southeast Siberia. Hydrological Processes, 34(1), 51-67, https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.13571

    Description: The paper presents oxygen and hydrogen isotopes of 284 precipitation event samples systematically collected in Irkutsk, in the Baikal region (southeast Siberia), between June 2011 and April 2017. This is the first high-resolution dataset of stable isotopes of precipitation from this poorly studied region of continental Asia, which has a high potential for isotope-based palaeoclimate research. The dataset revealed distinct seasonal variations: relatively high δ¹⁸O (up to -4‰) and δD (up to -40‰) values characterize summer air masses, and lighter isotope composition (-41‰ for δ¹⁸O and -322‰ for δD) is characteristic of winter precipitation. Our results show that air temperature mainly affects the isotope composition of precipitation, and no significant correlations were obtained for precipitation amount and relative humidity. A new temperature dependence was established for weighted mean monthly precipitation: +0.50‰/°C (r² = 0.83; p 〈 0.01; n = 55) for δ¹⁸O and +3.8‰/°C (r² = 0.83, p 〈 0.01; n = 55) for δD. Secondary fractionation processes (e.g., contribution of recycled moisture) were identified mainly in summer from low d excess. Backward trajectories assessed with the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model indicate that precipitation with the lowest mean δ¹⁸O and δD values reaches Irkutsk in winter related to moisture transport from the Arctic. Precipitation originating from the west/southwest with the heaviest mean isotope composition reaches Irkutsk in summer, thus representing moisture transport across Eurasia. Generally, moisture transport from the west, that is, the Atlantic Ocean predominates throughout the year. A comparison of our new isotope dataset with simulation results using the European Centre/Hamburg version 5 (ECHAM5)-wiso climate model reveals a good agreement of variations in δ¹⁸O (r² = 0.87; p 〈 0.01; n = 55) and air temperature (r² = 0.99; p 〈 0.01; n = 71). However, the ECHAM5-wiso model fails to capture observed variations in d excess (r² = 0.14; p 〈 0.01; n = 55). This disagreement can be partly explained by a model deficit of capturing regional hydrological processes associated with secondary moisture supply in summer.

    Description: This is a diatom oxygen isotope record from Lake Kotokel (southern Siberia, Russia), with implications for responses of the lake system and its environment to global change over the past 46 cal. ka BP. The δ¹⁸O diatom values vary between +23.7 and +31.2‰ over the record. The results present mainly diatom assemblages of summer blooming periods, except for the time span between 36 and 32 cal. ka BP, when the isotopic signal records mainly a shift from summer to spring blooming conditions. Possible water temperature changes only partly explain the changes in the isotopic record. The observed isotopic patterns are mainly produced by isotope changes in lake water in response to variations in air temperature, hydrology, and atmospheric circulation in the region. During Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2 (Last Glacial maximum), high δ¹⁸O diatom resulted from rapid evaporation and low fluvial inputs. The relatively high δ¹⁸O diatom values during the first half of MIS 1 (Holocene interglacial) suggest an increased portion of summer precipitation associated with southern/southeastern moisture transport. The decrease in δ¹⁸O diatom values during the second half of MIS 1 is due to the overall hemispheric cooling and increased moisture supply to the area by the Atlantic air masses. The Lake Kotokel record provides an example of complex interplay among several climatic/environmental controls of δ¹⁸O diatom during the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene.

    Publication Date: 2023-10-21
    Description: This article presents a new comprehensive assessment of the Holocene hydrological variability of Lake Ladoga, northwest Russia. The reconstruction is based on oxygen isotopes of lacustrine diatom silica (δ18O diatom) preserved in sediment core Co 1309, and is complemented by a diatom assemblage analysis and a survey of modern isotope hydrology. The data indicate that Lake Ladoga has existed as a freshwater reservoir since at least 10.8 cal. ka BP. The δ18O diatom values range from +29.8 to +35.0‰, and relatively higher δ18O diatom values around +34.7‰ between c. 7.1 and 5.7 cal. ka BP are considered to reflect the Holocene Thermal Maximum. A continuous depletion in δ18O diatom since c. 6.1 cal. ka BP accelerates after c. 4 cal. ka BP, indicating Middle to Late Holocene cooling that culminates during the interval 0.8-0.2 cal. ka BP, corresponding to the Little Ice Age. Lake-level rises result in lower δ18O diatom values, whereas lower lake levels cause higher δ18O diatom values. The diatom isotope record gives an indication for a rather early opening of the Neva River outflow at c. 4.4-4.0 cal. ka BP. Generally, overall high δ18O diatom values around +33.5‰ characterize a persistent evaporative lake system throughout the Holocene. As the Lake Ladoga δ18O diatom record is roughly in line with the 60°N summer insolation, a linkage to broader-scale climate change is likely.

    Description: The sedimentary sequence of core Co1412 from Lake Emanda (65°17′N; 135°45′E; 671 m a.s.l) has been retrieved in August 2017 using gravity and percussion piston corers (UWITEC Ltd., Austria) and investigated within the German-Russian 'Paleolimnological Transect' (PLOT) project. Well preserved diatoms occur only in the upper 125-cm interval of a 6.1-m sediment core covering the last 13.2 cal. ka BP. Diatoms were purified to 〉98% SiO₂ and 〈0.8% Al₂O₃ suitable for oxygen isotope analysis. The δ¹⁸O diatom values were corrected for contamination and range between +22.5‰ and +27.8‰. A new dataset on diatom oxygen isotope composition provides insights into the climate and environmental dynamics in an extreme continental setting in northeastern Siberia. The δ¹⁸O diatom record reveals an obvious shift of 2‰ in the δ¹⁸O diatom record at 11.7−11.5 cal. ka BP reflecting the onset of the Holocene. Relatively high δ¹⁸O diatom during the Early Holocene suggests relatively warm and/or dry climate with associated evaporation effects. The absolute maximum in δ¹⁸O diatom of +27.7‰ consistent with high values of diatom indices at 7.9−7.0 cal. ka BP suggests a Mid Holocene Thermal Maximum. A continuous depletion in δ¹⁸O diatom since ~5.0 cal. ka BP is interpreted as Middle to Late Holocene cooling reaching the absolute minimum at 0.4 cal. ka BP (i.e. the Little Ice Age).

    Description: Oxygen isotopes in biogenic silica (δ18O BSi) from lake sediments allow for quantitative reconstruction of past hydroclimate and proxy–model comparison in terrestrial environments. The signals of individual records have been attributed to different factors, such as air temperature (T air ), atmospheric circulation patterns, hydrological changes and lake evaporation. Here, we provide 55 composite down–core records published to date and complemented with additional lake basin parameters (e.g. lake water residence time and catchment size) to best characterize the signal properties. Records feature widely different temporal coverage and resolution ranging from decadal–scale records covering the last 150 years to records with multi–millennial scale resolution spanning glacial–interglacial cycles. Best coverage in number of records (N=37) and datapoints (N=2112) is available for northern hemispheric (NH) extra–tropic regions throughout the Holocene (corresponding to Marine Isotope Stage 1; MIS 1).

    Description: The dataset comprises the main geochemical characteristics of purified lake sediment samples from Lake Bolshoye Shchuchye, in the Polar Ural based on EDS and stable isotope data. Moreover, core segment (column A), composite depth (in cm; column B); calibrated age (in cal ka BP; column C) are given. Details on coring and age model are given in Lenz et al. (2021) Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) was carried out with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) at the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ Potsdam, Germany) to assess contamination of all diatom samples (following Chapligin et al., 2012). Three replicate analyses were carried out with an excited-area size with a radius of ~200 μm at an acceleration voltage of 20.0 kV. All detectable elements were normalized to 100% weight. The results were expressed as weight percentages (in %) and displayed as oxides: SiO2 content (%); Al2O3 content (%); Na2O content (%); MgO content (%); K2O content (%); CaO content (%); MnO content (%); FeO content (%): Total sum (%) of the purified sediment sample (columns D to L). Details are given in Meyer et al. (2022) The diatom oxygen isotope composition (δ18Odiatom) from lacustrine sediments helps tracing the hydrological and climate dynamics in individual lake catchments. The oxygen isotope data has been generated in the ISOLAB Facility Potsdam including all d18Odiatom values (all in ‰ vs. VSMOW). The measured δ18O values (δ18Omeas), the standard deviation (SD) and number of replicates (N) are given (columns M to O), as well as the calculated contamination (ccont; in %) and δ18O values corrected for contamination (δ18Ocorr) (columns P to Q). The details of the contamination correction and isotope analytics are given in Meyer et al. (2022)

    Description: This article presents a new comprehensive assessment of the Holocene hydrological variability of Lake Ladoga, northwest Russia. The reconstruction is based on oxygen isotopes of lacustrine diatom silica (δ18Odiatom) preserved in sediment core Co 1309, and is complemented by a diatom assemblage analysis and a survey of modern isotope hydrology. The data indicate that Lake Ladoga has existed as a freshwater reservoir since at least 10.8 cal. ka BP. The δ18Odiatom values range from +29.8 to +35.0‰, and relatively higher δ18Odiatom values around +34.7‰ between c. 7.1 and 5.7 cal. ka BP are considered to reflect the Holocene Thermal Maximum. A continuous depletion in δ18Odiatom since c. 6.1 cal. ka BP accelerates after c. 4 cal. ka BP, indicating Middle to Late Holocene cooling that culminates during the interval 0.8–0.2 cal. ka BP, corresponding to the Little Ice Age. Lake‐level rises result in lower δ18Odiatom values, whereas lower lake levels cause higher δ18Odiatom values. The diatom isotope record gives an indication for a rather early opening of the Neva River outflow at c. 4.4–4.0 cal. ka BP. Generally, overall high δ18Odiatom values around +33.5‰ characterize a persistent evaporative lake system throughout the Holocene. As the Lake Ladoga δ18Odiatom record is roughly in line with the 60°N summer insolation, a linkage to broader‐scale climate change is likely.

    Description: This is a summary of new oxygen isotope data for diatoms from Lake Kotokel sediments, with implications for responses of the lake system and its environment to global change over the past 46 kyr. Fossil diatoms in all samples are free from visible contamination signatures and contain no more than 2.5% Al2O3, which ensures reliable reconstructions. The δ18O values in diatoms vary between +23.7 and +31.2‰ over the record. The results mainly represent diatom assemblages of summer blooming periods, except for the time span between 36 and 32 kyr, when the isotopic signal rather records a shift from summer to spring blooming conditions. Possible water temperature changes only partly explain the changes in the isotopic record. The observed isotopic patterns are produced mainly by isotope changes in lake water in response to variations in air temperature, hydrology, and atmospheric circulation in the region. During Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2 (Last Glacial maximum), high δ18Odiatom resulted from rapid evaporation and low fluvial inputs. The high δ18O values of about +29 to +30‰ during the first half of MIS 1 (Holocene interglacial) suggest an increased share of summer rainfalls associated with southern/southeastern air transport. The δ18O decrease to +24‰ during the second half of MIS 1 is due to the overall hemispheric cooling and increased moisture supply to the area by the Atlantic transport. The record of Lake Kotokel sediments provides an example of complex interplay among several climatic controls of δ18Odiatom in the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene.
