“…Lacustrine sediments have a great potential to provide high resolution and continuous terrestrial records of environmental change (Antipin et al, 2001;Hövsgöl Drilling Project Group, 2007;Brauer et al, 2008;Nakagawa et al, 2012). This is especially true for lakes that did not dry out during glacial periods or which have never been glaciated and existed for a long time as isolated systems (Bezrukova et al, 2008;Jones and Roberts, 2008;Swann et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2010).…”

“…Furthermore, most of the fine detrital materials are considered to have been supplied from the Hasu River. Because coarse detrital grains from the Hasu River are trapped in Lake Mikata, only fine suspended detrital particles can reach Lake Suigetsu [Nakagawa et al 2012;Schlolaut et al 2014]. This is a great advantage of using Lake Suigetsu sediments in the present study because detrital materials from the Hasu River can be identified from the grain size distribution (Nagashima K et al: Asian dust transport during the last one century recorded in Lake Suigetsu sediments, submitted).…”

“…Thus, this method can be applied to lake sediments in Asia, which have high sedimentation rate and precise age models, and are subjected to heavy precipitation events. Lake Suigetsu (35°35′ N, 135°53′ E) in central Japan is known to have annually laminated (varved) sediment from 70 to 11.6 ka, and also from~350 years ago to the present [Fukusawa et al 1994;Marshall et al 2012;Nakagawa et al 2012;Schlolaut et al 2012]. Also, high-resolution 14 C dating has been conducted during the past 52.8 kyrs (average resolution of~100 years) [Staff et al 2011;Bronk Ramsey et al 2012], allowing the high-resolution estimation of detrital flux throughout the past 70 kyrs.…”

In the densely populated region of East Asia, it is important to know the mechanism, scale, and frequency of heavy precipitation brought about during the monsoons and typhoons. However, observational data, which cover only several decades, are insufficient to examine the long-term trend of extreme precipitation and its background mechanism. In humid areas, the transport flux of a suspended detrital material through a river system is known to have an empirical power relationship with precipitation. Thus, the sedimentation flux of a fine detrital material could potentially be used as a proxy for reconstructing past heavy precipitation events. To test the idea that the sedimentation flux of detrital materials records past heavy precipitation events (e.g., typhoons), we focused on the detrital flux estimated from the annually laminated sediment of Lake Suigetsu, central Japan, which is capable of accurately correlating the age of detrital flux with the precipitation record. We first established a precise age model (error within ±1 year in average) beginning in 1920 A.D. on the basis of varve counting fine-tuned by correlation between event layers with historical floods. The flux of the detrital material (g/cm 2 /year) was estimated on the basis of Al 2 O 3 content (wt%), dry bulk density (g/cm 3

“…Countable varves are only present in SG06 from 1250.0 to 4601.4 cm composite depth (about 10,000 to 60,000 cal BP; Nakagawa et al 2011), so varve count data are not included in the model. Instead, "event-free depth" (cf.…”

“…"Event layers" (i.e. layers attributed to flood or turbidite events; Nakagawa et al 2011) were avoided for sampling, despite the fact that they might have contained quite tempting macrofossil samples. Macrofossils washed into the lake at times of flooding bear an increased risk of having been held in situ elsewhere in the lake catchment prior to in-wash, and would therefore contain an inbuilt age as compared to the date of the event layer formation itself.…”

ABSTRACT. Calibration is a fundamental stage of the radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating process if one is to derive meaningful calendar ages from samples' 14 C measurements. For the first time, the IntCal09 calibration curve (Reimer et al. 2009) provided an internationally ratified calibration data set across almost the complete range (0 to 50,000 cal BP) of the 14 C timescale. However, only the last 12,550 cal yr of this record are composed of terrestrial data, leaving approximately three quarters of the 14 C timescale necessarily calibrated via less secure, marine records (incorporating assumptions pertaining to the temporally variable "marine reservoir effect"). The predominantly annually laminated (varved) sediment profile of Lake Suigetsu, central Japan, offers an ideal opportunity to derive an extended terrestrial record of atmospheric 14 C across the entire range of the method, through pairing of 14 C measurements of terrestrial plant macrofossil samples (extracted from the sediment) with the independent chronology provided through counting of its annual laminations. This paper presents new data (182 14 C determinations) from the upper (largely non-varved) 15 m of the Lake Suigetsu (SG06) sediment strata. These measurements provide evidence of excellent coherence between the Suigetsu 14 C data and the IntCal09 calibration curve across the last ~12,000 cal yr (i.e. the portion of IntCal based entirely on terrestrial data). Such agreement demonstrates that terrestrial plant material picked from the Lake Suigetsu sediment provides a reliable archive of atmospheric 14 C, and therefore supports the site as being capable of providing a high-resolution extension to the "wholly terrestrial" (i.e. non-reservoir-corrected) calibration curve beyond its present 12,550 cal BP limit.
