Paleoclimate and Palaeoenvironment of the Central Zagros

The study of lake sediments has been widely used in recent decades to identify paleo climate andenvironmental changes. Lake basins have significant spatial and temporal patterns and provided valuableevidence of physical and chemical changes. Using the multi proxy method, in this study paleoclimatic andenvironmental changes of the Central Zagros from the Late Pleistocene to the Early Holocene have beenreconstructed. In this regard, geochemical analyses, magnetic susceptibility, chronology and palynology ofsedimentary cores taken from the Hashilan marsh in Kermanshah were studied and analyzed. Analysesperformed on sedimentary samples showed that the climate of the Central Zagros region was cold and dryduring the Late Pleistocene spanning ca. ۳۰۰۰۰-۱۹۰۰۰ years ago.Also we identified more than ۱۰ RCCs inthe region grom ۳۲۰۰۰-۱۰۰۰ years ago.
