摘要
The strontium (Sr) concentration and Sr-87/Sr-86 isotope ratio have been determined in 132 snow pit samples collected at Dome C, on the East Antarctic Plateau, corresponding to the period 1958-2019, and in 12 surface snow samples collected at the same site in 2016-2017. The average Sr concentration was 8.1 +/- 5.7 pg g(-1) (mean +/- SD) in snow pit samples and 10.1 +/- 8.0 pg g(-1) (mean +/- SD) in surface snow, without any significant temporal trend. The Sr-87/Sr-86 isotope ratio showed small variations (<0.15%), with an average Sr-87/Sr-86 value of 0.7094 +/- 0.0010 (mean +/- SD) in snow pit and 0.7103 +/- 0.0004 (mean +/- SD) in surface snow samples. These results seem to suggest that no change in the source(s) of mineral dust has occurred throughout the period investigated. Comparison of the Sr-87/Sr-86 isotope ratio of the snow samples with those of potential source areas suggests that the mineral dust reaching the East Antarctic plateau over the last decades is of a mixed origin, with a contribution from Patagonia and one or more other source(s) having a more radiogenic Sr isotopic signature, with a major fraction coming from South Australia.
