Description: Das Projekt "A long-term climate record from lacustrine sediments of the Zada-Basin, SW Tibet" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Technische Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig, Institut für Geosysteme und Bioindikation durchgeführt. The long-term history of the Asian monsoon climate is important for a better understanding of regional- to global-scale climate change during the late Neogene, but poorly documented. We propose a multidisciplinary study of -1 km thick late Miocene to Pleistocene (ca. 7-1 Ma?) lacustrine deposits exposed in the Zada basin, SW Tibet, to establish a medium- to highresolution long-term climate record for that region. The present proposal will build and expand upon the results of an ongoing pilot study, during which we established a detailed stratigraphic and sedimentologic framework, and carried out initial sampling for sediment-petrographic work, geochronologic work, and the evaluation of a variety of different potential proxy materials for the reconstruction of climatic and ecologic conditions in the Zada Basin during Late Miocene to Pleistocene time.
