Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The new data allowed us to shed light on the reliability of the Nd isotope system as a water mass tracer, providing crucial information for the ongoing discussion. The produced dataset is the first comprehensive analysis of the end member water mass sources that directly contribute to the Labrador Sea Water and as follows the North Atlantic Deep Water. New data for the first time showed no major change in the end-member water mass signatures over the course of the Holocene. This suggest that unradiogenic excursion recorded off the coast of Nova Scotia either driven by strengthening of the Labrador Current influence or (and) changes in the sediment source inputs and weathering regime. Analysis of the changes in the water mass circulation over the Holocene period, caused by melt water perturbations will shed light on the long-term effects of the climate change on the ocean water mass transport and causal relationship between the ocean and the atmosphere. Major findings achieved in this project were: New rare earth element data from Hudson strait sediments supports the important role of the detrital carbonate dissolution on the signatures recorded by authigenic phases and benthic and planktonic foraminifera. - New Nd, Hf and Pb isotope data show no major changes in the end-member water mass signatures. - Unradiogenic excursion in the Nd isotope data off the Nova Scotian shelf during the middle and late Holocene indicate strengthening of the Labrador Current.
