After the Pingtung Earthquake and Morakot Typhoon which occurred in 2006 and 2009, the turbidity currents caused a series of submarine cable breaks along the Gaoping and Fangliao Submarine Canyons off SW Taiwan. Large amounts of terrestrial sediments were fast transported bypass the narrow continental shelf and rapidly moved southward through submarine canyon to the deep sea. This study aims to evaluate the impact of extreme events on the transportation and burial of organic carbon. Two piston cores which were taken from the Maiden Ridge and its adjacent area (MT7 and MT6) might shed light on understanding the export of terrestrial organic carbon to the abyss by natural geohazards. The 210Pb profile of MT7 in conjunction with the grain size data indicates the existence of the Pingtung Earthquake and Morakot Typhoon related deposits. The sedimentation rate of these two cores which derived from 210Pb is approximately 0.05 cm/yr. The cores collected from the Gaoping Submarine Canyon, Gaoping Slope and Fangliao Submarine Canyon are used for analyzing TOC, organic C/N and δ13C ratios. The concentrations of total organic carbon are ~0.5%, and C/N rations almost remain between 4 and 8. The high TOC (~1%) and C/N ratio (>10) are observed in the samples with plant debris. The fluctuation of TOC and C/N ratios in near-shore samples is higher than deep sea. In terms of δ13C-values, it progressively decreases with distances from coastal zone to the deep sea. Due to the larger proportions of land-derived organic carbon, the δ13C-values in the surface sediment of upper Gaoping Submarine Canyon, Gaoping Slope, and the turbidite layers at the head of Fangliao Submarine Canyon are lighter. Furthermore, this study uses the TOC concentrations and δ13C-values to estimate the fractional contributions of terrestrial organic carbon by a simple two component mixing model, and integrate with the 210Pb-derived sediment accumulation rates to evaluate the organic carbon burial between event layers and normal accumulation period. Our results show the extreme natural geohazard events not only fast transported sediments into the deep sea but also delivered large amounts of organic carbon into abyss, and it may play an important role on the global carbon cycling system.口試委員會審定書 i 誌謝 ii 中文摘要 iii Abstract iv 目錄 vi 圖目錄 ix 表目錄 xii 第一章 緒論 1 1.1 前言 1 1.2 有機碳來源之指標 5 1.3 研究區域概況 7 1.3.1 峽谷形貌 7 1.3.2 海底地質災害 8 1.4 研究動機與目的 9 第二章 研究方法 10 2.1 岩芯採樣 10 2.1.1 採樣區域 10 2.1.2 採樣方式 10 2.2 岩芯前處理 16 2.3 岩芯實驗分析方法 16 2.3.1 X光攝影 16 2.3.2 沉積物含水率 17 2.3.3 粒徑分析 17 2.3.4 鉛-210定年 20 2.3.5 總有機碳 (TOC)、總氮 (TN)含量分析及碳氮比 (C/N) 24 2.3.6 穩定碳同位素 (δ13C) 分析 26 第三章 實驗結果 28 3.1 高屏海底峽谷鄰近區域 28 3.1.1 MT6與MT7岩芯 28 3.1.2 2與2A岩芯 31 3.1.3 K8與K15X岩芯 33 3.2 高屏陸坡與盆地 35 3.2.1 L9與L26岩芯 35 3.2.2 S1岩芯 37 3.3 枋寮海底峽谷 39 3.3.1 B8岩芯 39 3.3.2 C岩芯 41 第四章 結果討論 43 4.1 深海事件層 43 4.2 有機碳來源分布 45 4.2.1 碳氮比值與穩定碳同位素散布圖 45 4.2.2 陸、海源混合比例 47 4.3 有機碳埋藏量 52 4.3.1 總有機碳及陸源有機碳埋藏量 52 4.3.2 討論 60 第五章 結論 63 參考文獻 655169120 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間:2014/08/16論文使用權限:同意有償授權(權利金給回饋學校)鉛-210總有機碳穩定碳同位素海底地質災害碳埋藏[SDGs]SDG14台灣西南海域極端事件引發海底地質災害對有機碳埋藏的影響Impact of Extreme Events on Organic Carbon Burial off Southwestern Taiwanthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/262575/1/ntu-103-R01241307-1.pdf
