简介:全球气候变化是当今学术界共同关注的热点问题,全球变暖将导致冰川消融及海平面上升,引起的海侵过程会给沿海低海拔地区带来严重的灾害。研究地质历史发生的海侵过程,可以为将来可能发生的海侵提供预警和对策。福建沿海地区保留有较完整的晚第四纪海相、陆相及海陆交互相沉积,为海侵研究提供了很好的材料。本研究综述了近几十年来该地区海侵研究的进展,同时也发现前人研究中可能存在的几个明显问题:1)MIS3阶段晚期海侵层是否真实存在?2)由于研究载体及研究方法的局限性,前人重建的海平面升降曲线存在很大的差异;3)缺乏高分辨率多指标多钻孔的古气候重建工作。因此,研究区日后的海侵研究工作将主要集中于:1)交叉利用多种定年手段,并结合模拟结果检验MIS3海侵的真实性;2)重建具有高分辨率可靠年代框架的海平面升降曲线及海侵过程;3)加强古气候研究工作,将海平面变化与古气候研究联系起来。
