北美洲降水中稳定同位素的时空分布以及与ENSO的关系   总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3  

章新平  杨大庆  刘晶淼 《冰川冻土》2006,28(1):29-36

分析了北美洲降水中δ¹⁸O的时空分布特征以及与温度、降水量、ENSO的关系.结果表明:无论是在陆地还是在海洋,北美降水中平均δ¹⁸O的纬向分布是非常显著的.随着纬度的升高,降水中δ¹⁸O迅速减小.整个北美大陆均存在温度效应,并随纬度的增加而加强.不同季节温度效应分布的差异仅表现在其范围和强度的变化上.降水量效应主要出现在低纬度海洋、中低纬度太平洋的东海岸和湾流的西北海岸.在内陆区,降水量效应不存在.不同季节降水量效应分布的差异也仅表现在其范围和强度的变化上.在大陆内部和高纬度地区,对应显著的温度效应,δ¹⁸O的季节差异Δδ¹⁸O具有较大的正值;在低纬度海洋,对应显著的降水量效应,Δδ¹⁸O较小或为负值;在相同的纬度,陆地上的Δδ¹⁸O明显大于海洋.代表大陆性特征的渥太华站和代表海洋性特征的中途岛站降水中δ¹⁸O与Ni o-4的SST具有显著的正相关关系,其中,尤以5月的δ¹⁸O与Ni o-4的SST的连续相关关系最显著,表明ENSO事件的强信号对该时期陆地和海洋降水中稳定同位素的变化具有重要影响.  相似文献

王炳成  徐金方  郑文深  张理刚  陈振胜  刘敬秀 《地质与资源》1995,4(1):24-35

通过矿床地质特征、流体包裹体及氧、氢稳定同位素的研究,认为马家窑金矿属再平衡岩浆热液矿床,金青顶和十里铺金矿属大气降水热液矿床。马家窑金矿石英的δD、δ¹⁸O值高,变化小,比较稳定;蚀变岩石的δ¹⁸O在磺向上由围岩向矿脉逐渐升高。金青顶和十里铺金矿石英的δD、δ¹⁸O值低、变化大;蚀变岩石的δ¹⁸O值由地表向深部逐渐降低。开展金矿的氮稳定同泣素研究,在国内尚数首次。马家窑金矿³⁶Ar在温度300℃以下相对含量不到10%,金青顶和十里铺金矿³⁶Ar则达90%以上,表明前者以岩浆成因⁴⁰Ar为代表,后者则以大气氩³⁶Ar为代表,进而表明马家窑金矿是再平衡岩浆热液成因,金青顶和十里辅金矿是大气降水热液成因。示踪结果与H、O同位素一致,表明氩同位素在示踪成矿热液、矿床成因研究方面是一种较为有效的手段。  相似文献   

济阳坳陷奥陶系碳酸盐岩及缝洞充填方解石C、O同位素特征及其意义   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1       下载免费PDF全文

对济阳坳陷奥陶系碳酸盐原岩及孔洞缝中充填方解石进行了C、O同位素测定,结果表明孔洞缝充填方解石的δ¹³C和δ¹⁸O值比原岩偏负。奥陶系三山子组和马家沟组孔缝中充填的方解石C、O同位素演化有很大区别,前者的δ¹³C和δ¹⁸O值均为负值,δ¹³C向较高负值偏移,δ¹⁸O值向较低负值偏移;马家沟组八陡段孔缝充填方解石的δ¹³C和δ¹⁸O值也多为负值,δ¹³C向较正值方向偏移,δ¹⁸O值向较高负值偏移。奥陶系碳酸盐岩孔缝充填方解石形成于大气淡水环境和埋藏成岩环境,次生孔洞可能主要形成于早期表生阶段,裂缝形成于中-新生代的构造运动,方解石主要充填于埋藏环境中。次生孔缝的主要形成时期早于油气大量运移期,对古潜山油藏的形成有利。  相似文献   

中更新世转型时期南海北部上层水体结构演化特征——ODP1146站浮游有孔虫稳定同位素记录     

王海粟  党皓文  翦知湣 《第四纪研究》2019,39(2):316-327

文章以南海北部ODP1146站沉积物岩芯为研究材料,利用浮游有孔虫次表层水种Pulleniatina obliquiloculata壳体的氧、碳稳定同位素,结合该站位浮游及底栖有孔虫氧碳同位素数据,分析中更新世以来南海北部上层水体结构的演化。1.2 Ma以来ODP1146站P.obliquiloculata壳体δ^18O的变化可分3个阶段:1)1.2~0.9 Ma,冰期-间冰期变化幅度较小、主导周期为41 ka斜率周期;2)0.9~0.6 Ma,冰期旋回变化幅度逐渐增强、100 ka偏心率周期开始强化;3)0.6 Ma以来,冰期旋回呈现稳定且幅度较大的100 ka周期变化。0.9 Ma以来南海北部上层海水δ^18O的冰期旋回变幅增强,可能反映东亚冬季风在0.9 Ma之后显著强化。其中,表层水体δ^18O只在冰期变幅增强,P.obliquiloculata所反映的次表层水体δ^18O的变化幅度在冰期和间冰期都显著增强。约0.9 Ma浮游和底栖有孔虫δ^18O的100 ka周期几乎同时显现;但在0.9~0.6 Ma时期P.obliquiloculata的δ^18O偏心率周期更为显著、斜率周期的强度也更高。因此,冰期旋回周期转型及幅度变化两方面的证据共同反映温跃层结构演化在南海北部中更新世转型(MPT)气候转变过程中的特殊性。1.2 Ma以来ODP1146站P.obliquiloculata的δ^13C在0.02 Ma、0.49 Ma和0.99 Ma左右呈明显的碳重值,同时表层种-次表层种之间的δ^13C差值减小到近于0,可以解读为碳重值事件期间南海北部生产力相对减弱。  相似文献

树轮稳定氧同位素作为一种高精度的古气候代用指标,在亚洲地区的发展起步晚进步快。树轮稳定氧同位素比率（δ¹⁸O）对区域气候信息有较强的记录能力,且与水汽循环关系密切,对于理解复杂的亚洲气候起着重要作用。亚洲地区树轮δ¹⁸O对温度的响应主要出现在高纬度地区,中低纬度树轮δ¹⁸O主要记录与水分（降水、相对湿度、PDSI等）有关的信号。对亚洲地区已发表的树轮δ¹⁸O与气候要素（温度、降水、相对湿度）的相关分析显著性统计显示,生长季气候对树轮δ¹⁸O至关重要,树轮δ¹⁸O 与温度的显著相关关系呈正相关,与降水和相对湿度的呈负相关,温度和降水通过降水δ¹⁸O影响树轮δ¹⁸O,但各自的信号强度存在区域差异,而相对湿度信号则广泛记录在不同区域不同树种之中。亚洲树轮稳定氧同位素研究集中于中低纬度地区,因而对大气水文循环的响应主要侧重于对亚洲夏季风和ENSO的研究,对季风降水的记录反映了季风活动的变化特征以及与之有关的环流信息;季节分辨率的树轮稳定氧同位素研究限于低纬热带亚热带区域,但对于理解区域气候和季风活动的年内变化、挖掘年轮不清晰树种的树轮学研究潜力具有重要的意义。  相似文献

章新平  关华德  张新主  张婉君  姚天次 《冰川冻土》2017,39(3):455-468

利用稳定同位素大气水平衡模式（iAWBM）,在一个水平衡和水稳定同位素平衡的框架下以及在相同的气象驱动下,模拟在不同的下垫面蒸发和不同的云中凝结分馏条件下降水中稳定同位素效应的空间分布特征,并通过与GNIP实测数据的比较以及模拟试验结果之间的相互比较,揭示云中的稳定同位素分馏和从下垫面蒸发的水汽同位素δ_e对降水中稳定同位素变化的可能影响,增进对全球水循环中稳定同位素效应的理解和认识。结果显示：iAWBM的4个模拟试验均很好地再现了全球降水中平均δ¹⁸O和平均δ¹⁸O季节差的空间分布特征;很好地模拟了降水同位素的温度效应、降水量效应的分布特点以及全球的大气水线MWL;比较而言,平衡分馏假设下模拟的全球降水中平均δ¹⁸O的空间分布与根据GNIP数据得到的实际空间分布以及模拟的全球MWL与实际MWL最接近,且模拟效果亦最好;动力分馏假设下模拟的降水中δ¹⁸O平均季节差的空间分布与根据GNIP数据得到的实际分布之间的相关程度较好,且拟合水平明显提高;在动力分馏和δ_e季节性的假设下,iAWBM再现全球δ¹⁸O-T和δ¹⁸O-P相关关系空间分布的能力较强。  相似文献   

黑河流域中上游地区降水δ18O变化特征   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

张应华  仵彦卿 《冰川冻土》2007,29(3):440-445

水资源短缺和合理利用是黑河流域面临的一个严峻问题,解决问题的关键就是要深入了解水循环过程.降水作为水循环中一个重要环节,分析其环境同位素变化特征是应用同位素示踪技术研究水循环过程所必须的前提.根据黑河流域中上游地区取得的降水水样和降水气象资料,分析了该区域降水中δ¹⁸O的变化特征.结果表明:降水δ¹⁸O受降水量、季节、高度和温度等众多因素综合影响,其中温度占主导地位;由于位于干旱内陆地区,降水中δ¹⁸O的季节变化幅度较大,可达20‰以上;降水δ¹⁸O与降水前后平均气温的相关性显著,分别高于δ¹⁸O与降水前气温或降水后气温的相关性.从空间上来看,山区或上游地区降水δ¹⁸O与气温之间的相关性显著,分别高于δ¹⁸O与山前或山前盆地的相关性.  相似文献

由于土壤中有机质降解产生的CO₂ 和淡水成岩作用的影响,在蓟县早寒武世和晚元古代景儿峪组不整合界面处古风化壳中碳酸盐的δ¹³C值和δ¹⁸O 值明显偏负,从风化壳向下往原岩的方向,δ¹³C和δ¹⁸O 数值逐渐增加;此外,与风化壳上、下碳酸盐岩地层的δ¹³C和δ¹⁸O 数值具有明显的差别。上述同位素组成特征可以用于其它古风化壳剖面及地层不整合界面的判识。  相似文献   

塔里木盆地柯坪地区上寒武统表生溶蚀型藻格架白云岩的地球化学特征及意义^*          下载免费PDF全文

何凯  朱井泉  由雪莲  刘玲 《古地理学报》2013,15(1):77-94

采用野外观察、室内薄片鉴定及多项地球化学分析技术方法,对塔里木盆地柯坪地区上寒武统表生溶蚀型藻格架白云岩的特征及成因进行了研究。宏观上,藻格架白云岩呈丘状、透镜状夹于潮坪相白云岩层间,由于差异性溶蚀,发育了大量表生溶蚀孔。微观上,藻格架由富藻的泥粉晶白云石组成,而架间孔由浅色的亮晶白云石充填。藻格架泥粉晶白云石呈他形—半自形,镶嵌结构,具有暗红色—橙红色的阴极发光,较高的Na、K含量,较低的Fe含量;δ¹³C为-0.572‰～0.124‰、平均值-0.116‰,δ¹⁸O为-5.391‰～-4.983‰、平均值-5.240‰,表明其形成于准同生阶段盐度较高的相对氧化环境中。架间充填的亮晶白云石胶结物,呈半自形—自形中细晶,具有昏暗的阴极发光或者不发光,较低的Na、K含量,较高的Fe含量,δ¹³C值为-0.662‰～-0.251‰、平均值为-0.460‰;δ¹⁸O值为-6.639‰～-5.939‰、平均值-6.267‰,表明其形成于相对还原的埋藏环境。稀土元素分析结果表明,二者均具有LREE轻微富集、HREE亏损、Eu负异常特征,与海相泥晶灰岩稀土元素配分模式相似,揭示了其白云化流体均来自于原始的海水。在溶蚀作用方面,亮晶白云石胶结物相对泥粉晶白云石藻格架更易于溶蚀。前者在大气水表生溶蚀过程中,主量元素Ca、Mg丢失显著,Mg/Ca值由0.955降至0.007,微量元素Na、K丢失相对明显,Na/Ca值由原来的3.8×10^-4降为1.9×10^-4,K/Ca值由1.1×10^-3降至检测限以下,而不改变稀土元素的配分模式。这些特征表明,表生溶蚀过程在元素特征上是一个去白云化的盐度降低过程,而这一过程中基本无稀土元素的带入带出。  相似文献

阿坝州位于四川西北部,与青海、甘肃交界,处于高海拔地区;该地区地表水资源丰富,长江与黄河上游水系均流经该区域。通过系统性采集区内河水(76件)、井水(7件)、溪水(8件)等样品,测试水体中D与¹⁸O的丰度与微量元素含量。结果表明:①受大气降水与流经地层的影响,阿坝地区河水中D与¹⁸O的丰度均显著高于溪水、井水与自来水等介质,线性相关性表明,河水中¹⁸O的富集与硫酸盐矿物的溶解密切相关;②阿坝地区井水、自来水、溪水之间存在明显的水力联系;③对于阿坝地区而言,黄河上游河流中δD与δ¹⁸O值均高于长江上游水系河流,但两者之间差别较小,这由于同一地区水系具有相同的大气降水来源;④河水、井水、溪水等表水中微量元素呈高Ba、Zn、Cr,低As、Pb、Cd的特点,与该地区岩石样品中微量元素特征基本一致,表明该地区表水中微量元素含量主要受地质背景因素控制。  相似文献   

Geochemical characteristics from tests of four modern planktonic foraminiferal species in the Indonesian Throughflow region and their implications     

Peng Zhang  Rina Zuraida  Yair Rosenthal  Ann Holbourn  Wolfgang Kuhnt  Jian Xu 《地学前缘(英文版)》2019,10(2):505-516

Test geochemistry of planktonic foraminifera is an indispensable tool in reconstructing past ocean hydrological changes. It is essential to investigate region-specific implications of test geochemistry,although those established from other regions can be broadly applied. In this study, characteristics of6180 and Mg/Ca from tests of four planktonic foraminiferal species, Globigerinoides ruber sensu stricto(s.s.), Globigerinoides sacculifer, Pulleniatina obliquiloculata and Neogloboquadrina dutertrei, from 60 coretop sediment samples retrieved from the Indonesian Throughflow(ITF) region were studied. These geochemical data were compared with modern hydrographic profiles in order to assess their relations and to investigate potential implications of test geochemical parameters in reconstructing past oceanographic change in the ITF region. Calcification depths of these four species were first estimated based on comparison between measured test δ180 and predicted calcite δ¹⁸O that was calculated from modern temperature and salinity. The results indicate that G. ruber s.s. and G. sacculifer calcify within the mixedlayer at 0-50 m and 20-75 m, respectively, whereas P. obliquiloculata and N. dutertrei calcify within the thermocline at around 75 to 125 m. A combined study of excess Mg/Ca(difference between measured and predicted Mg/Ca) and salinity suggests that salinity exerts a negligible impact on test Mg/Ca of these foraminiferal species in the ITF region. Comparison of test Mg/Ca-derived temperatures with temperature profiles of the upper 200 m of the water column from the seas of the ITF region also indicate calcification depths of these species, which match well with the above estimations using test δ¹⁸O. It further indicates that G. sacculifer may be more sensitive in reflecting changes in the depth of the mixedlayer, highlighting a potential use of Mg/Ca temperature difference between G. ruber s.s. and G. sacculifer in reconstructing the depth of the mixed-layer in the ITF region.  相似文献   

Southern Ocean control on the extent of denitrification in the southeast Pacific over the last 70 ka     

《Quaternary Science Reviews》2007,26(1-2):201-212

Temporal changes in oceanic denitrification, the bacterial reduction of nitrate under suboxic conditions, highlight the potential importance of N inventory changes and the production of N₂O on the climate system. At the same time, the cause of the globally observed variation in denitrification remains unclear. High-resolution benthic foraminiferal oxygen isotope and bulk sediment nitrogen isotope records from ODP Site 1234 on the Chile Margin record integrated denitrification changes within the Peru–Chile Upwelling system over the last ∼70 ka. Denitrification changes in the southeast Pacific are coherent with Antarctic climate changes recorded by the Byrd ice core δ¹⁸O record, and lead northern hemisphere climate events. The southern-hemisphere character of the Chile margin δ¹⁵N record suggests that episodes of reduced denitrification in the SE Pacific represent times when more oxygen was supplied as the result of changes in the ventilation and preformed nutrient content of Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW), which forms in the Subantarctic zone of the Southern Ocean and feeds into the low-latitude thermocline.  相似文献

选取大洋钻探ODP184航次在南海北部采集的1144站为研究材料,通过分析中更新世0.4～1.4Ma期间506个样品中浮游有孔虫氧、碳稳定同位素的变化特征,并与南海南部ODP 1143站和西太平洋暖池ODP 807站的同位素资料进行比较,发现南海北部的氧、碳稳定同位素及其差值的变化响应中更新世气候转型事件,在中更新世距今约0.9Ma之后100ka的偏心率周期明显增强。在中更新世气候转型之前,南海北部、南海南部和赤道西太平洋都呈现出典型的热带气候特征,具有岁差和半岁差的气候周期;转型之后,随着北半球冰盖的进一步扩张,南海北部受东亚冬季风增强的影响而导致温度下降、温跃层变深,但南海南部与赤道西太平洋的温度变化较小且温跃层变浅,说明同属季风区的南海北部和南部对气候变化的响应有所不同。  相似文献   

南海ODP1143站上新世至更新世天文年代标尺的建立   总被引：8，自引：3，他引：5  

田军  汪品先  成鑫荣  李前裕 《地球科学》2005,30(1):31-39

基于底栖有孔虫δ18O的精确的年代标尺是古海洋学研究的基础, 特别是长度超过5 Ma, 分辨率小于5 ka的连续δ18O记录在全球大洋深海记录中更是凤毛麟角.在大西洋和东太平洋已经建立起了类似的代表性剖面, 如大西洋ODP659站和东太平洋ODP846站, 但在对全球气候有着重要影响的“西太平洋暖池区”还没有建立起这样的剖面.以南海大洋钻探184航次1143站底栖有孔虫的δ18O为材料, 建立了西太平洋地区跨越5 Ma、分辨率达2~ 3 ka的天文年代标尺.天文调谐的基本原理参照Imbrie et al.(1984), 并将斜率周期上8 ka的相位差和岁差周期上5 ka的相位差从晚更新世扩展到5 Ma; 调谐目标选用Laskar(1990)的斜率和岁差; 调谐方法采用了有别于ODP659站和ODP846站的自动轨道调谐方法(Yu and Ding, 1998).调谐结果显示, 1143站190.77 m、191个冰期、间冰期的深海沉积记录了5.02 Ma的南海古海洋学历史; 1143站布容/松山磁性反转事件的年龄为0.78 Ma, 与前人研究结果一致; 15个识别出的浮游有孔虫生物事件年龄部分与已经发表过的年龄相吻合, 部分为该生物事件在南沙海区的新年龄.由年代标尺推导出的南海沉积特征显示, 2.9 Ma是沉积速率的一个转折点, 在此之前, 平均线性沉积速率只有39.5 m/Ma, 冰期、间冰期平均波动幅度为50 m/Ma; 2.9 Ma以后, 平均线性沉积速率猛然上升到65.4 m/Ma, 冰期、间冰期平均波动幅度为200 m/Ma.此外, 南海的沉积速率还显示出冰期或间冰期中的亚冰阶沉积速率高, 而相邻的间冰期或亚间冰阶的沉积速率低, 这种特点在更新世尤为典型.这可能与全球冰量变化带来的冰期、间冰期差异性风化剥蚀和搬运有关.   相似文献   

Linkage between Seasonal Insolation Gradient in the Tropical Northern Hemisphere and the Sea Surface Salinity of the Equatorial Indian Ocean during the Last Glacial Period     

Saraswat RAJEEV  Nigam RAJIV  Mackensen ANDREAS  Weldeab SYEE 《《地质学报》英文版》2012,86(5):1265-1275

Paired stable oxygen isotope and Mg/Ca analyses in calcite tests of the mixed-layer-dwelling planktic foraminifer Globigerinoides ruber has been used to reconstruct equatorial Indian Ocean δ18O of seawater (δ18Osw) over the last ~137 thousand years. On the basis of ice-volume-corrected δ18Osw (δ18Osw–ivc), relative changes in sea surface salinity (SSS) have been estimated. The SSS estimates suggest three episodes of higher SSS (131–113 thousand years before present (kyr BP), 62–58 kyr BP, and 30–24 kyr BP) within the last glacial period as compared with the present. SSS comparison between interglacial episodes reveals that the surface seawater over the core site was significantly saltier during the penultimate interglacial than the Holocene. We suggest that the evolution of a seasonal insolation gradient between the Indian monsoon areas and the equator over the investigated time interval was instrumental in shaping the strength of the Indian winter and summer monsoons that left their imprints on the equatorial Indian Ocean SSS via freshwater input and wind-induced mixing. The study shows that the insolation difference between northern latitudes and the equator during winter affects monsoon strength in the Indian region, especially during cold intervals.  相似文献   

A multiple cave deposit assessment of suitability of speleothem isotopes for reconstructing palaeo‐vegetation and palaeo‐temperature     

Zheng‐Hua Li  Steven G. Driese  Hai Cheng 《Sedimentology》2014,61(3):749-766

The suitability of speleothems for interpreting palaeoclimate is typically determined by using either the Hendy Test, overlapping analysis or long‐term cave environment monitoring. However, in many cases, these methods are not applicable, because a speleothem lacks clearly traceable layers for the Hendy Test, it is difficult to obtain an overlapping speleothem nearby, or long‐term cave monitoring is impractical. The authors propose a multiple cave deposit approach to assess the suitability of speleothems for palaeoclimate study. Speleothems collected from two sites within Raccoon Mountain Cave, Tennessee (USA) exhibit remarkable spatial variation (δ¹³C: ?10·3‰ to ?2·2‰) over a relatively short distance (ca 260 m). Drip water δ¹⁸O values exhibit a seasonal precipitation signal at Site 1 and an annual signal at Site 2. Combining field observations, water isotope analysis and trace‐element data, the authors propose that the speleothem formation at Site 1 and Site 2 tapped distinct sources of CO₂: (i) CO₂ derived from overlying soils for Site 1; and (ii) limestone dissolved inorganic carbon induced by ground water dissolution for Site 2. Using fresh cave deposits (modern speleothem) δ¹³C (100% C3 vegetation) as an analogue, a simple model was developed to estimate land surface vegetation for speleothems. The speleothem formation temperature estimated using fresh cave deposit δ¹⁸O values generally reflects the mean annual temperature in this region. This study indicates that spatial variations in carbon isotopes could be caused by different carbon sources dominating in different parts of the cave, which should be taken into consideration by researchers when using speleothem δ¹³C values to reconstruct temporal palaeo‐vegetation changes. This study demonstrates a practical sampling strategy for verifying suitability of speleothems for palaeo‐vegetation and palaeo‐temperature reconstructions by analysing multiple cave deposits, especially for cases in which the Hendy Test, parallel sampling and long‐term monitoring of cave environment are not feasible.  相似文献   

The progressive intensification of northern hemisphere glaciation as seen from the North Pacific   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

M. A. Maslin  G. H. Haug  M. Sarnthein  R. Tiedemann 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1996,85(3):452-465

Ocean Drilling Project (ODP) site 882 (50°22′N, 167°36′E) provides the first high-resolution GRAPE density, magnetic susceptibility, carbonate, opal and foraminifera (planktonic and benthic) stable isotopes records between 3.2 and 2.4 Ma in the Northwest Pacific. We observed a dramatic increase in ice rafting debris at site 882 at 2.75 Ma, which is coeval with that found in the Norwegian Sea, suggesting that the Eurasian Arctic and Northeast Asia were significantly glaciated from 2.75 Ma onwards. Prior to 2.75 Ma planktonic foraminifera δ¹⁸O records indicate a warming or freshening trend of 4°C or 2‰ over 80 ka. If this is interpreted as a warm pre-glacial Pliocene North Pacific, it may have provided the additional moisture required to initially build up the northern hemisphere continental ice sheet. The dramatic drop in sea surface temperatures (SST>7.5°C) at 2.75 Ma ended this suggested period of enhanced SST and thus the proposed moisture pump. Moreover, at 2.79 and 2.73 Ma opal mass accumulation rates (MAR) decrease in two steps by five fold and is accompanied by a more gradual long-term decrease in CaCO₃ MARs. Evidence from the Southern Ocean (ODP site 704) indicates that just prior to 2.6 Ma there is a massive increase in opal MARs, the opposite to what is found in the North Pacific. This indicates that the intensification of northern hemisphere glaciation was accompanied by a major reorganisation of global oceanic chemical budget, possibly caused by changes in deep ocean circulation. The initiation of northern hemisphere glaciation occurred in the late Miocene with a significant build up of ice on southern Greenland. However, the progressive intensification did not occur until 3.5–3 Ma when the Greenland ice sheet expanded to include northern Greenland. Following this stage we suggest that the Eurasian Arctic and Northeast Asia glaciated at 2.75 Ma, approximately 100 ka before the glaciation of Alaska (2.65 Ma) and 200 ka before the glaciation of the North East American continent (2.54 Ma).  相似文献   

Tectonic environments of sapphire and ruby revealed by a global oxygen isotope compilation     

Jacqueline Wong  Charles Verdel 《International Geology Review》2018,60(2):188-195

Many sapphire and ruby occurrences are spatially linked with orogenic belts such as the Pan-African Orogen, the Himalayas, and regions of active or former subduction along the western margin of the Pacific Ocean. These gemstones have oxygen isotope compositions (δ¹⁸O) that span >45‰, reflecting the wide range of environments and conditions involved in corundum (Al₂O₃) formation. We compiled a global data base of sapphire and ruby δ¹⁸O, from which the following major groups of gemstones emerge: a dominant population of sapphires with δ¹⁸O centred around 5.5‰ (the mantle value) that is spatially related to regions of former subduction; a lesser population of sapphires and rubies with slightly higher δ¹⁸O that are associated with skarn and pegmatite; rubies with relatively low δ¹⁸O of 0‰–7‰ that occur in hydrothermally altered ultramafic metamorphic rocks in collision zones; and rubies with high δ¹⁸O of 14‰–25‰ that are found, almost exclusively, in Himalayan marble. The spatial distribution of the δ¹⁸O groups relative to plate boundaries provides insight into the two major periods of continental collision involved in sapphire and ruby formation: the Ediacaran collision of East and West Gondwana (the East African Orogeny) and the Cenozoic collision of India and Asia.  相似文献   

Oceanographic and climatic implications of the Palaeocene carbon isotope maximum     

Richard M. Corfield  Julie E. Cartlidge 《地学学报》1992,4(4):443-455

We have compared detailed planktonic and benthonic foraminiferal carbon and oxygen isotope records from the Palaeocene and early Eocene successions at DSDP Site 577 (Shatsky Rise, North Pacific), a composite section derived from DSDP Leg 74 sites (Walvis Ridge, South Atlantic) and a composite section from ODP Leg 113 sites (Maud Rise, Weddell Sea). The δ¹³C records of Palaeocene and early Eocene Foraminifera at Site 577 and the Leg 74 sites show that an increase in δ¹³C values in surface waters at 64 Ma (end of Zone P1) resulted in increased vertical carbon isotope gradients (δ¹³C) between surface and deeper dwelling planktonic foraminifera, and between surface-dwelling planktonics and benthonic foraminifera which became progressively steeper until the iniddle Late Palaeocene (Zone P4). This steepening also occurs in the latest Palaeocene of the composite Leg 113 section and can be explained by an increase in surface ocean productivity. This increase in productivity probably resulted in an expansion of the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). Benthonic δ¹³C values increased during the late Palaeocene in Site 577 and the composite Leg 74 section, suggesting that the Palaeocene carbon isotope maximum was composed of both within-ocean reservoir (increased surface water productivity) and between-reservoir (organic carbon burial) ftactionation effects. The benthonic δ¹³C increase lags the surface ocean δ¹³C increase in the early Palaeocene (63–64 Ma) suggesting that surface water productivity increase probably led an increase in the burial rate of organic carbon relative to carbonate sedimentation. Moreover, inter-site δ¹³C comparisons suggest that the locus of deep to intermediate water formation for the majority of the Palaeocene and the earliest Eocene was more likely to have been in the high southern latitudes than in the lower latitudes. Oxygen isotope data show a decline in deeper water temperatures in the early and early late Palaeocene, followed by a temperature increase in the late Palaeocene and across the PalaeoceneEocene boundary. We speculate that these changes in deeper water temperatures were related to the flux of CO₂ between the oceans and the atmosphere through a mechanism operating at the high southern latitudes.  相似文献
