Abstract

Tschuchye Lake is located in the central part of the Oimyakon Upland in eastern Yakutia (63.351465°N, 140.990055°E). A multi-proxy investigation of a sediment core from the lake provides evidence of abrupt changes in paleolimnological conditions during the Holocene. The chronology of the 347 cm lacustrine sediment sequences is delimited by four AMS 14C ages from plant macrofossils. Three distinct lithological units are identified marking changes in sedimentation. Four pollen zones represent shifts in biocoenosis during the Holocene. Clear geochemical zonation occurs in the core. Coarse detrital material represented by silty sand and sandy silt are characterized by (1) low content of TiO2, Al2O3, MgO, K2O, Rb, Fe2O3, and LOI; (2) high content of SiO2, Zr and Sr; and (3) low values of magnetic susceptibility, saturation magnetization, and saturation remanence. Laminated silt shows the highest content of Fe2O3, P2O5, MnO, MS, Jrs and Js, which implies autigenic or diagenetic processes. Magnetic particles are predominantly single domain, superparamagnetic and rarely multi domain and possibly are of bacterial origin.
