中、西太平洋海山区是富钴结壳的重要富集区,钙质远洋沉积、碳酸盐岩沉积及重力作用引起的滑塌沉积是海山山顶和斜坡的主要沉积类型,它们的空间分布规律对于富钴结壳的分布至关重要.在国内首次利用EM122多波束回波强度资料对中太平洋潜鱼海山进行了底质类型研究,对回波强度资料进行处理和统计分类,并与浅地层剖面和地质取样结果对比,分析得出了4种底质类型,即富钴结壳、钙质远洋沉积、碳酸盐岩基底及碎屑流沉积.这几种底质类型具有不同的回波强度特征,其中富钴结壳区表现为均一的回波强度高值特征;钙质远洋沉积区表现为均一的回波强度低值特征,二者回波强度值相差约20 dB.结果显示潜鱼海山山顶仅局部发育钙质远洋沉积,大部分为碳酸盐岩基底出露区,山顶边缘及侧翼山脊处为主要的富钴结壳分布区.此外,该海山存在3处较大规模的重力滑塌沉积区,主要为碎屑流沉积. 相似文献

Temporal and spatial variations of environmental and water quality parameters and their relations with macrobenthic flora were investigated in an eastern Mediterranean lagoon. Kaiafas is a mesohaline lagoon, which is influenced by point and diffused sources from the adjacent agricultural land and the nearby city. Water samples were analyzed for physicochemical parameters, microbial load and primary production, on a seasonal and spatial scale, while heavy metal concentrations were measured into two different sediment cores. An overall analysis of seasonal dynamics of water parameters and Chl-a based on trophic index TSI pointed out the lagoon as eutrophic. According to water quality parameters the lagoon was separated into two parts. The southern sector of the lagoon which was more affected by human activities showed higher nutrients, Chl-a, heavy metals and total Coliforms concentrations. Sediment texture and distribution of macrophytes were detected through the acoustic side scan sonar method, which proved to be a promising tool for defining and monitoring vegetation coverage of shallow lagoons. A number of distinct echo types and three different sediment types were revealed on the basis of the backscatter level and the variability of low and high backscatter areas. Furthermore, the extension and the coverage of Potamogeton pectinatus and Chara hispida f. corfuensis were successively depicted by combining the data of SSS and ground truthing samples. Meadows of P. pectinatus were established to the lagoon limits where high turbidity and silty substrate occurred, while C. hispida f. corfuensis was limited in deep and high transparent waters with sandy substrate. 相似文献

为探讨声学多普勒剖面仪(PCADP)测量悬浮沉积物浓度(SSC)的可行性,将PCADP测量输出的声学后散射强度经衰减修正后,通过光学浊度计(OBS)标定转变为SSC.结果表明,SSC与后散射强度之间具有较好的相关性(R=0.74),用后散射强度测得的SSC平均相对误差为22.4%.为排除粒径变化对声学测量误差的影响,又对粒径变化不是很大的时段进行了分析,结果相关性有了较大提高(R=0.81),平均相对误差减小为18.9%.由此可见,PCADP能够达到专业SSC测量仪器的精度(20%~50%),满足沉积动力学研究的需要. 相似文献

Accurate benthic habitat maps are critical for resource management in coastal waters with competing uses. We used a 500 kHz
phase-measuring bathymetric sonar (PMBS) and 900 kHz side-scan sonar to acquire seafloor data in estuarine and shelf environments.
Grab samples and remotely operated vehicle video created geological and biological classifications for segmented maps produced
by a backscatter clustering program. PMBS improves regional map resolution (<1 m), reduces the need for direct sampling, extends
information on sediment–biological relationships to larger areas, and allows measurements of bedforms. Auto-segmentation was
successful in environments with highly contrasting acoustic signatures and meters-scale homogeneity. Patchier communities
are identifiable in PMBS data. Species preferences for sediment (i.e., tubeworm preference for sediment without shell hash)
allowed us to determine potential habitat without identifying individual organisms in acoustic data. PMBS with sufficient
ground-truthing offers an efficient way to map seafloor characteristics, which is critical in marine spatial planning efforts. 相似文献

The ferromanganese precipitates existing in deep-sea waters of the Pacific consist of two types of deposits: (1) nodules mainly are distributed in pelagic basins beneath the CCD (Calcite Compensation Depth) where the rate of sedimentation is low; (2) polymetallic encrustations are formed on exposed seamount rocks where currents prevent normal sediment accumulation. Nodules, being formed in areas bordering the equatorial zone of high biological productivity, grow by two different processes: (A) early diagenetic growth by supply of metals and metal compounds from pore water and (B) hydrogenetic growth by supply of colloidal particles from near-bottom seawater. These processes lead to different kinds of oxide and different metal contents. The diagenetic growth process takes place under oxidizing to suboxidizing conditions and is supplied by an ionic solution of Mn2+ and other divalent metal ions. The mobilization of Mn is caused by the decomposition of organic matter. The growth features of the early diagenetic nodules show alternating laminae of crystalline and amorphous material. These rhythmic sequences of different microlayers are explained by physico-chemical changes (variation of pH) in the microenvironment of the accreting nodule surface. The hydrogenetic crust growth on seamounts leads to ferromanganese precipitates which are in particular rich in Co. The Co concentration is inversely related to the water depth. Co is positively correlated to Mn which can be derived from the oxygen minimum zone. Contrary to the diagenetic nodule growth, the crust accretion is also a colloidal precipitation process. In the water column below the oxygen minimum zone, a mixture of particles of Mn-Fe-oxyhydroxide and silicate accrete together on the surface of substratum rocks. Surface chemical mechanisms control the enrichment of Ni, Co, Pb, and other metals from the seawater; for Pt, a coprecipitation with MnO2 caused by a redox reaction is proposed. Distinct oceanographical and geological conditions enable or promote, respectively, the ferromanganese crust formation on seamounts. 相似文献

Marine hydrogenous ferromanganese crust, an important metal resource in the future, has significant potential in various applications as a type of natural nano-structured material. By employing scanning electronic microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm measurement, Xray fluorescence spectrometer and X-ray diffraction methods, the micro-structure, surface properties and chemical composition of several plate-like ferromanganese crusts sampled from the northwestern Pacific were investigated comprehensively. Although obvious differences were observed from different layers, the crust is a typical porous material with high specific surface area, unique pore structure and abundant transition elements. Furthermore, the performance of natural crust in desulfurization process was preliminarily tested in laboratory experiments. The suffur capacities of the crust are 13.1% and 18.1% at room temperature and 350 ℃, respectively. The crust can be used not only as a metal resource, but also as an environmental material. 相似文献

Fossil surfaces of erosion and non-deposition are common in limestone sequences from the Mesozoic in western Europe and in the Tethys and have been described under the name ‘hardgrounds’. They are of shallow water as well as of oceanic origin. A modern example in the Pacific is described in this paper. The Carnegie Ridge, an east-west trending shallow ridge between South America and the Galapagos Islands, has a central, deeper saddle where erosion has removed most of the sediment cover down to a hard chalk and chert bed (acoustic basement), and has cut intricate channel patterns on the south flank and two deep canyons on the north. The erosion has produced a karst-like relief of steep-walled channels, cliffs, and corroded chalk remnants. The floors of the channels are covered with ferromanganese oxide crusts or crust fragments over which loose sediment is being transported. In the two canyons on the north flank, this sediment consists of foraminiferal sand travelling downslope in the form of barchan dunes. All sediment down to acoustic basement has been stripped from the Carnegie Ridge crest except where it is protected behind basement ridges and pinnacles. Surface features of the eroded chalk are strongly reminiscent of features observed in Mesozoic hardgrounds. Current measurements over several days indicate a net northward movement, slow but possibly adequate to keep the sea floor free of fresh deposits. The rates, however, seem inadequate to explain the formation of the deep channels, and there is no evidence for the southward flow which is implied by the southern channel system. A process of combined carbonate dissolution and removal by the current of fresh sediment and dissolution residues can account for the required erosion in about two million years. Regional unconformities identifiable in seismic reflection profiles and dated in cores are of middle to late Pliocene age, suggesting that the formation of the erosion surface began 2-3 million years ago. Buried Miocene unconformities of local extent show that the present erosion period had minor precursors possibly related to short-lived increases in current action and carbonate dissolution. 相似文献

The paper presents the first results of a comparative study of the composition and distribution of organic matter (OM) (Corg, n-alkanes, Pr, Phy) in samples of the ferromanganese nodule–sediment–pore water system taken at a single site in the Clarion–Clipperton Fracture Zone, Pacific Ocean. Samples were taken during Cruise 120 of R/V James Cook in 2015. The results of the comparison of organogeochemical parameters in the lipid fraction of OM in ferromanganese nodules of different size and morphology with the underlying sediment (0–1 cm) and pore water revealed both principle genetic affinity of OM therein and significant discrepancies between the processes of diagenesis during the formation and growth of each individual ore sample. 相似文献

现代海洋中的水成 Fe－Mn 结壳的 Nd 来自当时周围海水，因此利用 Fe－Mn 结壳可以恢复新生海洋 Nd 同位素演化历史，进面了解古海洋环境和古气候变迁信息。海洋中 Nd 的来源包括河流或陆源 Nd、大陆边缘沉积物和风成粉尘中的可溶 Nd，以及洋中脊热液蚀变来源的 Nd。对海水、水成成因铁锰结壳和结核、洋脊热液喷发和河流输入的 Nd 同位素研究发明，陆源物质控制着大洋中溶解的 Nd。对于风尘输入对大洋中的REE的影响还存在争议。有研究表明来自大陆和火山的风尘是某些局部大洋中的 REE 的重要来源，风尘与海水间的 REE 交换引起了某些洋区中 Nd 同位素组成的变化。相反，另有学者认为风尘对北太平洋中的溶解 Nd 总量没有影响。笔者分板子一块来自中北太平洋的铁锰结壳样品（MDD53）的 Nd，Pb 同位素，得到了该区新生代以来的 Nd，Pb 同位素演化历史。通过对比该结壳和岩心 LL44－GPC3 中粉尘的同位素演变曲线，发现二者的 Pb 同位素变化规律十分相似，证明结壳中的 Pb 主要来自粉尘。与 Pb 同位素相反，二者的 Nd 同位素演化完全不同。中国黄土的ENd值远低于中太平洋深水中的ENd值。因此，笔者认为风成粉尘对太平洋深水中溶解的 Nd 总量的影响可以忽略不计。结壳的 ENd值介于大陆和岛弧火山的值之间，说明新生代太平洋海水中的 Nd 主要来自河流、大洋边缘大陆风化及大洋环流携带大源自其他大洋的 Nd，新生代 Nd 同位素比值的增长主要是国为太平洋边缘岛弧的风化剥蚀作用和火山活动的增强。 相似文献

Structure of the Transkei Basin and Natal Valley, Southwest Indian Ocean, from seismic reflection and potential field data 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Marine geophysical data from the southern Natal Valley and northern Transkei Basin, offshore southeast Africa, were used to study the structure of the crust and sedimentary cover in the area. The data includes seismic reflection, gravity and magnetics and provides information on the acoustic basement geometry (where available), features of the sedimentary cover and the basin's development. Previously mapped Mesozoic magnetic anomalies over a part of the basin are now recognized over wider areas of the basin. The ability to extend the correlation to the southeast within the Natal Valley further confirms an oceanic origin for this region and provides an opportunity to amplify the existing plate boundary reconstructions.The stratigraphic structure of the southern Natal Valley and the northern Transkei Basin reflects processes of the ocean crust formation and subsequent evolution. The highly variable relief of the acoustic basement may relate to the crust formation in the immediate vicinity of the continental transform margin. Renewed submarine seismicity and neotectonic activity in the area is probably related to the diffuse boundary between the Nubia and Somalia plates.2.5-D crustal models show that a 1.7–3.2-km-thick sediment sequence overlies a 6.3±1.2-km-thick normal oceanic crust in the deep southern Natal Valley and Transkei Basin. The oceanic crust in the study area is heterogeneous, made up of blocks of laterally varying remanent magnetization (0.5–3.5 A/m) and density (2850–2900 kg/m3). Strong modifications of accretionary processes near ridge/fracture zone intersections may be a reason of such heterogeneity. 相似文献

Hafnium isotopes in Arctic Ocean water 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The first isotopic compositions of dissolved hafnium in seawater from across the Arctic Ocean are reported. Most samples from the four sub-basins of the Arctic Ocean have values within error of an average of εHf = +0.8. Combined Hf-Nd isotope compositions do not fall on the well-established positive correlation for mantle and crustal rocks. Instead, Arctic waters have Hf that is more radiogenic than that typically found in rocks with similar Nd isotope compositions, a feature previously found in ferromanganese crusts and waters from the Pacific Ocean. Arctic seawater samples generally fall on the lower part of the ferromanganese crust array, reflecting influences of inputs from Arctic rivers and interactions of shelf waters with underlying sediments. Arctic rivers have much higher Hf concentrations (7-30 pM) than Arctic seawater (0.36-4.2 pM). Water from the Mackenzie River has the least radiogenic Hf, with εHf = −7.1 ± 1.7, and plots furthest away from the ferromanganese crust array, while waters from the Ob, Yenisey, and Lena Rivers have values that are indistinguishable from most Arctic waters. In the Amundsen, Makarov, and Canada basins, Hf concentrations are highest at the surface and lowest in the deeper waters, reflecting the influences of riverine inputs and of waters that have flowed over the extensive Siberian continental shelves and have Nd and Hf characteristics that reflect water-sediment interactions. This is in contrast to the relatively low near surface Hf concentrations reported for locations elsewhere. The Pacific water layer in the Canada Basin exhibits the highest value of εHf = +6.8 ± 1.8, reflecting the Hf isotopic composition of waters entering the Arctic from the Pacific Ocean. Mixing relationships indicate that a substantial fraction of the Hf in the Mackenzie River is lost during estuarine mixing; the behaviour of Hf from other rivers is less constrained. 相似文献

Two-to threefold inward increase of 10Be, 9Be, Cu and Ni have been found in surface layers of marine ferromanganese deposits. We interpret this phenomenon as reflecting the manner in which the Be isotopes and probably other trace metals (e.g. Cu and Ni) are incorporated. On reaching the sea floor exchangeable Be is released from its carrier phase to the pore water of the ferromanganese deposits, diffuses inward and gets fixed into the deposits. The fixation process may be related to the mineralogical reorganizations suggested by previous studies. We have modeled this concept and applied it to a Mn crust on which detailed analyses of Cu, Ni and natural decay-series nuclides, as well as Be isotopes are made. Post-depositional fixation of Th isotopes may also occur. The redistributions of Be and Th isotopes are confined to regions very close to the surface of the deposits. For all practical purposes, they will not affect growth rate determinations conventionally done using these isotopes. The “linearly” extrapolated ratio to the surface from deep layers of a Mn deposit does not necessarily represent that ratio in sea water. 相似文献

In order to elucidate possible processes leading to platinum accumulation in ferromanganese deposits, we analyzed published
data on the interaction of dissolved platinum species in different valence states with iron and manganese oxyhydroxides under
oceanic conditions and experimentally studied the kinetics of sorption of inorganic and organic complexes of platinum (II)
and platinum (IV) on synthetic iron and manganese oxyhydroxides and natural materials (marine colloids, and ferromanganese
crust samples). The role of dissolved and suspended particulate aquatic organic matter in the sorption accumulation of platinum
was evaluated. Possible reasons for the preferential (compared with other noble metals) accumulation of platinum in oceanic
ferromanganese deposits were discussed. 相似文献

The surface texture of the Saharan Debris Flow deposit and some speculations on submarine debris flow processes 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Deep towed 30 kHz sidescan sonar data from the Saharan Debris Flow deposit, west of the Canary Islands, show spectacular backscatter patterns which are interpreted in terms of flow banding, longitudinal shears, lateral ridges (levees) and transported blocks. Identification of these features is based on high resolution seismic profiles and on a comparison with similar structures seen in better known environments including other marine debris flows and slides, subaerial sediment failures (particularly rock fall avalanches), glaciers and lava flows. Flow banding in the debris flow, picked out by bands of differing backscatter intensity, is on a scale of tens to hundreds of metres. It is considered to result from flow streaming of clasts, with variation in clast size between bands. This primary fabric is cut by a series of distinct flow-parallel longitudinal shears. Broad, high backscatter longitudinal bands along the edge of and within the debris flow are interpreted as lateral ridges associated with multiple flow pulses; the high backscatter possibly reflects either a concentration of coarse grained material or chaotic sediments deposited from a turbulent flow. Coherent, low backscatter patches are interpreted as rafted blocks, although streamlined haloes of high backscatter material around some blocks indicates differential movement between block and flow, possibly during the waning stages of the flow. A non-turbulent debris flow model is preferred, in which a raft of more or less coherent material is carried along by a base undergoing laminar flow. Speculatively, the lack of turbulent mixing preserves original sedimentological heterogeneity from the debris flow source area, possibly in the form of clast size distributions. These heterogeneous sediments are drawn out into a flow-parallel banding which is imaged as the flow-parallel backscatter intensity banding. The upper raft of material responds to cross-flow velocity differences, and perhaps to variations in the timing of flow movement, primarily by longitudinal shearing. More complex deformation of the flow banding occurs at the flow margins and around obstacles in the flow, where lateral velocity shear would be expected to be highest. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that ferromanganese crusts in the Pacific Ocean commonly record paleomagnetic reversals and that the reversal patterns can be used to estimate growth rates. In order to investigate the applicability of the magnetostratigraphic method, we conducted paleomagnetic measurements of crust samples recovered from five locations in the northwest Pacific. A series of thin slices, with thicknesses of 0.5–1.0 mm, was prepared for each sample, and a paleomagnetic polarity was determined for each slice. In all five samples, we found a consistent reversal pattern of N1–R1–N2–R2–N3 from the surface to the inner part of the crust. In three samples, another polarity interval (R3) was recognized below the N3 section of the crust. These data suggest that ferromanganese crusts in the northwest Pacific recorded paleomagnetic reversals and that reversal patterns can be used for ocean-scale correlations. The magnetostratigraphic method suggests constant growth rates of 1.49, 2.54, 3.56 and 3.67 mm/Ma for four samples, three of which are consistent with those estimated using 10Be/9Be dating at the 2σ (standard deviation) level. 相似文献

The hafnium isotope composition of Pacific Ocean water 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The first Hf isotope data for seawater are reported for a series of stations in the Northwestern Pacific and define a range from εHf = 3.5 ± 1.4 to 8.6 ± 1.6. Most samples have values within error of the average of εHf = 5.9, but significant variations are found in intermediate waters at a depth of 600 m, as well as in deep waters. The Nd and Hf isotope compositions of the deep waters fall within the range of values found for surfaces of hydrogenetic ferromanganese crusts in the region, confirming that Hf in the Fe-Mn crusts has been derived from the overlying water column, which thus provide an archive of past seawater compositions. Although the seawater samples are generally close to the global εNd-εHf correlation obtained from ferromanganese crusts, there are significant deviations from this correlation indicating that there is some additional decoupling between Nd and Hf isotope signals, most likely caused by local water mass mixing and differences in residence times. This is not resolved in the crust samples, which integrate seawater signals over 104 years. The combined use of these two isotope systems in seawater therefore provides an additional dimension for tracing water masses in the oceans. Studies of the distribution of oceanic Hf isotope compositions that have been confined to deep water and boundary waters, as recorded in seafloor ferromanganese crusts, can now be extended and aimed at characterising the entire present-day water column. Average Hf concentrations measured in this study are somewhat lower than previously reported, suggesting a shorter residence time for Hf in the global oceans, although the uncertainty in the extent of Hf removal from the water column during estuarine mixing as well as a lack of data on hydrothermal and dust inputs remains a limit on how well the residence time can be defined. 相似文献

当前对于大洋厚结壳的研究较少,而厚结壳是未来开发利用的重点,同时它记录的地质历史长,控制和影响结壳生长发育的各种因素必然能在厚结壳上充分体现出来。因此,开展厚结壳的形成条件及控制因素的研究,具有重要的理论与现实意义。文章利用GIS空间分析技术与地质统计方法,对厚结壳的定义、结壳厚度与水深、结壳厚度与基岩、结壳生长与构造活动、结壳厚度与沉积速率、结壳厚度与经纬度、结壳厚度与主成矿元素之间的关系进行了分析,结果表明,结壳的厚度变化受控于水深、基岩、构造活动、沉积速率、经纬度等因素,同时结壳厚度与主成矿元素之间存在明显的相关性。 相似文献
