Bulk sediment mineral composition of sediment core GeoB12605-3

Equatorial East Africa experienced significant variations in paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic conditions during the Holocene. These environmental changes influenced sedimentation patterns on the continental shelf. To date, however, little is known about the sediment source, its transport to, and deposition on, the Tanzanian shelf. This paper presents a new high-resolution Holocene sedimentary record off northeast Tanzania (equatorial East Africa) and provides insights into how sedimentation patterns responded to climatic and oceanographic changes during the Holocene.

赤道东非在全新世期间经历了显著的古气候和古海洋学条件变化。这些环境变迁影响了大陆架上的沉积模式。然而，截至目前，关于沉积物的来源、其在坦桑尼亚大陆架上的迁移和沉积情况知之甚少。本文提出了一份新的高分辨率全新世沉积记录，该记录位于坦桑尼亚东北部（赤道东非）海域，并揭示了沉积模式如何对全新世期间的气候和海洋学变化作出响应。
