Efectos de la dinámica sedimentaria y ambiental sobre las asociaciones de nanofósiles calcáreos en el Golfo de Cádiz durante el Plioceno temprano

Abstract

El Golfo de Cádiz es un área de gran interés oceanográfico y gracias al estudio de sus sedimentos es posible conocer cómo ha funcionado el intercambio de agua entre el Mediterráneo y el Atlántico y estimar cómo ha ido variando el funcionamiento de la Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) desde que comenzó a instaurarse tras la Crisis de Salinidad del Mesiniense (MSC) hasta la actualidad. A partir del material sedimentario Plioceno recuperado en el sondeo IODP 1387C, situado en el Golfo de Cádiz, se han empleado los nanofósiles calcáreos como herramienta de doble interpretación para estudiar el funcionamiento de la MOW y para realizar una reconstrucción ambiental de la temperatura y la productividad del agua superficial. El estudio cuantitativo de las asociaciones de nanofósiles calcáreos se ha combinado con información proporcionada geoquímica elemental obtenida mediante escáner de fluorescencia de rayos X. En la secuencia sedimentaria estudiada se han encontrado niveles con indicios de un efecto washingwinnowing en los sedimentos de fondo, en los cuales se observan descensos importantes en la cantidad de nanofósiles calcáreos, máximos en los porcentajes de especies frías y máximos de Zr. Se propone el efecto washing-winnowing como un posible indicador de las variaciones en la actividad de la MOW. De acuerdo a modelos actuales y a la señal orbital que muestran los datos, los eventos de intensificación de la MOW podrían estar relacionados con la dinámica del monzón africano, a su vez relacionado con la dinámica orbital.

[EN] The Gulf of Cadiz is a place with great oceanographic interest. Through the study of its sediments it is possible to know how the Mediterranean-Atlantic water exchange has worked and how the Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) has changed since it was established after the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) to the present day. Using Pliocene sedimentary material cored in IODP 1387C, located in the Gulf of Cadiz, calcareous nannofossils were used as a dual interpretation tool to study the behavior of the MOW and to perform an environmental reconstruction of surface water temperature and productivity. Calcareous nannofossils can be considered palaeoecological indicators. Additionally, elemental geochemical data obtained by X-ray fluorescence-scanner have also been used combined with calcareous nannofossil quantitative analyses. In the sedimentary sequence studied, some signs of a washing-winnowing effect have been found in the ocean bottom sediments, in which we observed significant decreases in the amount of calcareous nannofossils and peaks in the percentages of cold species and Zr content. The washing-winnowing effect is proposed as a possible past variations of the MOW activity. According to current models, and to the orbital signal that the data seem to show, MOW intensification events could be related to the dynamics of the African monsoon, to orbital dynamics at the same time.
