Abstract

Abstract

The organic geochemical characteristics and molecular biomarker are tests analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry which are soluble extracted from the bottom surface sediments in the northeast waters to Antarctic Peninsula. Results show that the average contents of TOC (total organic carbon) of the surface sediment in the study is higher than the average contents of organic matter in modern deep-sea sediments. δ¹³ Corg (Organic carbon isotope) values change means that the source of sediment organic carbon has feature of marine aquatic organisms mixed with terrigenous material input. The combination parameters of n-alkanes peak type distribution, n-alkanes main carbon peak, the saturated hydrocarbon radio of ∑C₂₁^-/∑C₂₂⁺ and (C₂₁+C₂₂)/(C₂₈+C₂₉), sterane combination and hopance combination parameters confirm that the source of surface sediment organic matter of west part in the study area is given priority to with terrigenous higher plants, which maybe come from the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands; conversely, the organic matter source of the east part are given priority to marine origin, the lower plankton, algae and bacteria, and the like. CPI (Carbon preference index), OEP (Odd-even Predominance) and sterane C₂₉ααα20S/(20S+20R) ratio show that the sediment organic matter of position D1-7 and D5-9 has higher evolution degree, and the sediment organic matter of position D5-2 and D2-4 has lower evolution degree-immature, other positions between the intermediate state-low mature. The saturated hydrocarbon compositions of pristance, phytance and their ratio (Pr/Ph) show that the sedimentary environment in west part of study area is oxidation and weak reduction-environment, mainly affected by high temperature and low salt current: Bellingshausen Sea Water and nearby volcanic eruption. Oppositely, the east part sedimentary environment is reducing environment-strong reducing environment, which may being caused by WSBW (Weddell Sea Bottom Water) and WSDW (Weddell Sea Deep Water) with low temperature and high salt.
