Background Sediment core retrieved from L. Pallcacocha displayed abundant light-colored clastic laminae. Rodbell et al. (1999) hypothesized that the clastic laminae were deposited during El Nino- induced alluviation events in the drainage basin. However, discontinuity and lack of a sediment- water interface precluded investigation of millennial-scale variability.

Objective: Utilize a new continuous sediment core and identify the frequency components with wavelet analysis

Geotek Linescan Camera

CORTEX XRF Scanner – Univ. of Bremen Jansen et al. (1998)

Age Models Constant Carbon Accumulation Model: -Distributes age based on carbon content of sediment Event Model: -All laminae assigned a value of 6 months based on Rio Chira discharge data Both models assign higher sedimentation rates to the light-colored laminae

Conclusions: Gradual increase in ENSO event frequency through the Holocene Driven by orbitally-induced changes in insolation Millennial-scale variability centered on 2,000 yrs Centennial to ENSO band variance exhibited in the most recent 6,000 yrs of the record
