Paleoekološki arhiv in klimatske spremembe

Dušak, Eva (author), Budja, Mihael (mentor), Andrič, Maja (co-mentor)

V diplomskem delu so predstavljene kratkotrajne klimatske spremembe v holocenu, na podlagi paleoklimatskih arhivov. Obdobje je razčlenjeno na krajša podobdobja, s posebnim poudarkom na relativno dobro dokumentiranih hitrih klimatskih dogodkih. Na izbranih primerih študij so predstavljene posledice klimatskih fluktuacij na ekosistem. To sta v tem primeru človek in okolje, ki ga obdaja, vključno s favno in floro. Razloženi so mehanizmi klimatskih nihanj, torej kaj jih povzroča in kako se širijo po Zemljinem površju. Večji poudarek je na paleoklimatoloških arhivih, s pomočjo katerih se nekdanja klima interpretira. Predstavljene se različne vrste arhivov in metodologija njihove interpretacije. Diplomsko delo je sinteza izbranih klimatskih fluktuacij, pri čemer nikakor niso zajeti vsi podatki o tej problematiki, vendar ponuja vpogled v kompleksnost vprašanja – kakšna je bila nekdanja klima na dani lokaciji v danem obdobju, kakšne posledice je imela na skupnosti in kako jo interpretirati? Je poskus prikaza nujnosti paleoekoloških raziskav pri arheološkem delu.

Abstract

The bachelor's thesis presents short-term climate changes in the Holocene, based on paleoclimatic archives. The period is broken down into shorter subperiods, whit a particular emphasis on relatively well documented rapid climate events. Selected case studies show the effect of climate fluctuations on the ecosystem. That is in this case the man and the environment that surrounds him, including the fauna and flora. The mechanims of climate fluctuations are explained, their causes and how they spread across the Earth's surface. Greater emphasis is placed on paleoclimatological archives through which the past climate is interpreted. Different types of archives and the methodology for their interpretation are presented. The bachelor's thesis is a synthesis of selected climate fluctuations, which does not cover all the data on this issue, but offers insight into the complexity of the question – what was the past climate at a given location during a given period of time, what were its effects on the community and how to interpret it? It is an attempt to demonstrate the necessity of paleoecological research in archaeological work.
