Holocene and Pleistocene marine sediment records in the North Pacific record multiple dysoxic events proximal to continental margins and oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). High‐resolution paleoenvironmental studies in the Gulf of Alaska (GoA) were previously restricted to the last ∼17,000 years, limiting our knowledge of oxygenation in the high latitude North Pacific. Here we develop a ∼54,000‐year‐long record of co‐registered benthic foraminiferal assemblages and redox sensitive metal concentrations (Mo/Al and U/Al) at Site U1419 in the upper OMZ of GoA to reconstruct the history of OMZ extent and intensity at multi‐centennial resolution. Using multivariate analyses of total benthic foraminiferal assemblages, we develop quantitative dissolved oxygen estimates that are robust to differences in the benthic foraminiferal size fraction analyzed, replicate modern oxygenation patterns in the GoA, and are cross‐validated by redox sensitive metal concentrations. We identify dysoxic events in the early Holocene and in the Bølling‐Allerød (B/A), consistent with previous studies, as well as two dysoxic events during MIS 3 that are comparable in severity to the B/A event and lower in oxygen than the modern GoA OMZ. We further record short‐duration (<300 years) dysoxic events during glacial times similar to those recorded at more southern latitudes. Rates of oxygenation change can be abrupt with transitions exceeding 1 ml/L O2 in 100 years. Quantitative estimates of paleo‐oxygenation, such as those possible with benthic foraminiferal assemblages, are important for forecasting future oxygenation changes in OMZs and their potential impacts on the marine ecosystems.

使用交叉验证的底栖有孔虫和地球化学记录重建阿拉斯加湾近54,000年的古加氧作用

北太平洋的全新世和更新世海洋沉积物记录记录了接近大陆边缘和最小氧区(OMZ)的多次低氧事件。以前,阿拉斯加湾(GoA)的高分辨率古环境研究仅限于过去的1.7万年,这限制了我们对高纬度北太平洋含氧量的了解。在这里,我们在GoA上部OMZ的U1419处记录了约54,000年的共记录底栖有孔虫组合和氧化还原敏感金属浓度(Mo / Al和U / Al)记录,以重建OMZ程度和强度的历史以百年的决议。通过对底栖有孔虫总种群进行多变量分析,我们得出了定量溶解氧估计值,该估计值对所分析的底栖有孔虫大小分数的差异具有鲁棒性,复制GoA中的现代氧化模式,并通过氧化还原敏感金属浓度进行交叉验证。我们确定了全新世早期和Bølling-Allerød(B / A)中的低氧事件,与先前的研究一致,以及MIS 3中的两次低氧事件,其严重程度与B / A事件相当,且氧含量低于现代的GoA OMZ。我们还记录了冰川时期的短时(<300年)缺氧事件,与南部纬度地区记录的相似。过渡时间超过1 ml / LO时,氧合变化速率可能会突然变化 以及MIS 3期间发生的两次低氧事件,其严重程度与B / A事件相当,并且氧含量低于现代GoA OMZ。我们还记录了冰川时期的短时(<300年)缺氧事件,与南部纬度地区记录的相似。过渡时间超过1 ml / LO时,氧合变化速率可能会突然变化 以及MIS 3期间发生的两次低氧事件,其严重程度与B / A事件相当,并且氧含量低于现代GoA OMZ。我们还记录了冰川时期的短时(<300年)缺氧事件,与南部纬度地区记录的相似。过渡时间超过1 ml / LO时,氧合变化速率可能会突然变化100年中有2年。对古氧合的定量估计(例如底栖有孔虫组合可能的定量估计)对于预测OMZ的未来氧合变化及其对海洋生态系统的潜在影响非常重要。
