F. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access Through an extensive sampling and dating of pairs of associated shells and charcoal fragments combined with reanalysis of all the available previous data, we reconstruct the evolution throughout the Holocene of the regional marine radiocarbon reservoir effect (Delta R) values along the northern Chile-southern Peru area (14 degrees-24 degrees S). After elimination of the cases in which the terrestrial component yielded older ages than the marine shells to which they were associated, the study is based upon data from 47 pairs of associated marine and terrestrial material. Our results suggest major changes in both the magnitude and variability range of Delta R during the whole Holocene Period: (1) between 10,400 and 6840 cal yr BP, high values (511 +/- 278 yr) probably result from a strengthened SE Pacific subtropical anticyclone and shoaling of equatorial subsurface waters during intensified upwelling events; (2) between 5180 and 1160 cal yr BP, lower values (226 +/- 98 yr) may reflect a major influence of subtropical water and diminished coastal upwelling processes; (3) during the last similar to thousand years, high values (between 355 +/- 105 and 253 +/- 207 yr) indicate an increased influence of C-14-depleted water masses and of ENSO. For the early twentieth century a Delta R value of 253 +/- 207 yr was calculated. specialized Radiocarbon reservoir effect Holocene Paleoceanographic circulation Upwelling Southeastern Pacific Peru Chile 064 75 1 91-103 2011 0033-5894 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010053107 10.1016/j.yqres.2010.07.018 0033-5894 [F B010053107] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010053107 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2011/03/010053107.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2011-04-07 2017-08-23 fdi:010053107 fre
