Description: Das Projekt "The Swiss contribution to the Lake Van Drilling Project: 500000 years of environmental and climate change in Eastern Anatolia (Drilling Costs)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Eawag - Das Wasserforschungsinstitut des ETH-Bereichs durchgeführt. Two related SNF-projects are the Swiss contribution to the Lake Van Drilling Project being carried out by the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP). This Lake Van Drilling project (PALEOVAN) the key to trigger the newly established SNF-supported Swiss membership in ICDP. One proposal covers the Swiss share of the drilling operations to recover several hundred meters of sediments. The other proposal addresses the scientific activities of the involved Swiss research groups. Lake Van (eastern Anatolia, Turkey), the fourth largest terminal lake on Earth, is surrounded by lively volcanoes within a tectonically active area. Lake Van's annually-laminated sediments are expected to be excellent paleoclimate and paleoenvironment archive because they contain a long and continuous continental sequence that covers several glacial-interglacial cycles (ca.500 kyr). Therefore, ICDP identified Lake Van is a key site to investigate climatic, environmental, volcanic and tectonic evolution during the last few hundred thousands years of the Near East in the cradle of human civilization. This Swiss initiative embedded in the overarching ICDP Drilling project on Lake Van consist of five complementary research modules: Module A: Sedimentology and stratigraphic framework and implications for lake level changes and paleoseismology. Module B: Geochemical analyses of solid phase (climate proxies) and fluid phase. Module C: Organic geochemistry, biomarkers, 14C dating of single compounds. Module D: 10Be as a tracer of solar and geomagnetic variability and erosion rate. 10Be as well as 14C and 36Cl provide a unique tool to reconstruct the history of solar variability and changes in the geomagnetic field intensity. The large laminated sediment body of Lake Van allows to study the evolution of long-lived radio nuclides at high temporal resolution on much longer time scales than those being assessable by ice-cores. Module E: Noble gases as proxy for vertical fluid transport in the sediment column and lake level fluctuation.
