Abstract

AbstractConstruction of regional geomagnetic secular variation curves for the last several tens of thousands of years is important for understanding the behavior of non-dipole fields and applications to geochronology. Around Japan, secular variation records of older than 10 ka was scarce, in particular for relative paleointensity (RPI). Here, we conducted a paleomagnetic study of a sediment core covering the last ~ 40 kyr taken from a small basin in the Nankai Trough. The core consists of homogenous hemipelagic sediments except for turbidites and volcanic ashes. The age model was constructed based on seven 14C datings and two volcanic ashes. Turbidites and volcanic ashes were excluded from the construction of secular variation curves because of geologically instantaneous deposition. It was revealed that the magnetization of this core is carried largely by detrital magnetic minerals, although magnetofossils are also contained. Bulk magnetic properties show some temporal changes in magnetic concentration and grain size, but still homogeneous enough for reliable RPI estimations except for turbidites and volcanic ashes. The resultant RPI shows no correlation with the normalizer, anhysteretic remanent magnetization, of the RPI estimations or with a proxy for a magnetic grain size and/or the proportion of magnetofossils to detrital magnetic minerals. The obtained RPI record shows a long-term increasing trend since ~ 40 ka, which coincides with global stack curves. On the other hand, there are some differences in shorter timescale variations, which may reflect non-dipole fields. This study demonstrated that hemipelagic sediments in the Nankai Trough have potential for recovering high-quality RPI records when turbidites and volcanic ashes were excluded and are useful for accumulating records to construct a regional master curve.
