This study was carried out in the Córrego do Vaçununga basin constituted of eolic sandstones of Botucatu Formation and residual unconsolidated materials (>90%), considered the most important unconfined aquifer in Brazil, in the city of Luiz Antonio, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Laboratory and in situ tests were performed to characterize the unconsolidated materials in terms of basic physical properties, potential infiltration rate, suction and hydraulic conductivity. The results for infiltration and overland flow depths were obtained according to Morel-Seytoux and Khanji (Water Resour Res 10(4):795–800, 1976) and Chu (Water Resour Res 14(3):461–466, 1978) adaptation of the Green and Ampt [J Agr Sci 4(Part 1):1–24, 1911] model for steady and transient rainfalls, respectively. Rainfall data were collected from January of 2000 to December of 2002, and 12 scenarios were defined considering the intensity and durations. Rather than high homogeneity in terms of the texture of unconsolidated materials, the infiltration and overland flow ratio depends on the type of land use and associated management practices. The results showed that rainfall with high intensity and short duration do not produce high overland flow ratio as we have observed for transient scenarios with long duration and low intensities. 相似文献

In this paper, we analyze the impact of physical and chemical heterogeneity on solute travel time to a pumping well. We consider
a solute undergoing reversible linear instantaneous equilibrium sorption. Both the distribution coefficient, K
d
, and the transmissivity field, T, are considered spatially variable, and are modeled as partially correlated spatial random functions. Groundwater flow and
solute transport are then solved within the context of a numerical Monte Carlo framework. The results are analyzed on the
basis of dimensional analysis techniques. Simple and compact expressions characterizing the dependence of the target travel
time moments on relevant dimensionless groups are proposed. The functional form of these expressions is inspired by, and is
consistent with, the previous works of Sanchez-Vila and Rubin (Water Resour. Res. 39(4):1086, 2003) and Riva et al. (J. Contam. Hydrol. 82:23–43, 2006) A key result is that the effects of the chemical and physical heterogeneities on the mean travel time can be decoupled consistently
with existing analytical results. The relative role of physical and geochemical heterogeneities in travel time variance is
more complex, and such a decoupling is not observed. Potential uses of this work include the assessment of aquifer reclamation
time by means of a single pumping well. 相似文献

The enhanced velocity mixed finite element method, due to Wheeler et al. (Comput Geosci 6(3–4):315–332, 2002), is analyzed and extended to the problem of modeling slightly compressible flow coupled to the transport of chemical species
through porous media, on non-matching multiblock grids. Applications include modeling bio-remediation of heavy oil spills
and many other subsurface hazardous wastes, angiogenesis in transition of tumors from dormant to malignant states, transport
of contaminants in ground water flow, and acid injection from well bores to increase permeability of surrounding rock. The
analysis and numerical examples presented here demonstrate convergence and computational efficiency of this method. 相似文献

There are significant advantages in using indirect pedo-transfer functions, (PTFs) for the estimation of unsaturated soil
properties. The pedo-transfer functions can be used for the estimation of the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) which
in turn is used for the estimation of other unsaturated soil properties. The accuracy of the indirect pedo-transfer function
method for the estimation of the SWCC depends on the PTF and the equation used to best-fit the particle-size distribution
(PSD) data. The objectives of this study are to: (1) evaluate the performance of the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 37:817–827,
2000) equation for best-fitting the particle-size distribution, (PSD) data, and, (2) compare the predictions made by two of the
commonly used PTFs; namely, Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) and Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002), for estimating the SWCC from the PSD. The authors used 258 measured PSDs and SWCC datasets from the Loess Plateau, China,
for this study. The dataset consisted of 187 silt–loam soils, 41 loam soils, 11 silt–clay–loam soils, 10 sand–loam soils,
6 silt–clay soils, and 3 loam–sand soils. The SWCC and PSD datasets were measured using a Pressure Plate apparatus and the
pipette method, respectively. The comparison between the estimated and measured particle-size distribution curves showed that
the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 37:817–827, 2000) equation closely prepresented the PSD for all soils in the Loess Plateau, with a lower root mean square error (RMSE) of
0.869%. The comparison between the estimated and measured water contents at the same suction showed that the Fredlund et al.
(Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002) PTF performed somewhat better than the Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) function. The Fredlund et al. method had RMSE value of 0.039 cm3 cm−3 as opposed to 0.046 cm3 cm−3 for the Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J 45:1023–1030, 1981) method. The Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002) PTF produced the closest predictions for sand–loam, loam–sand, and loam soils, with a lower RMSE for gravimetric water content
ranging from 0.006 to 0.036 cm3 cm−3. There were consistent over-estimations observed for silt–loam, silt–clay–loam, and slit–clay soils with RMSE values for
gravimetric water content ranging from 0.037 to 0.043 cm3 cm−3. The measured and estimated air-entry values were closest when using the Fredlund et al. (Can Geotech J 39:1103–1117, 2002) PTF. The measured and estimated maximum slopes on the SWCC were closest when using the Arya and Paris (Soil Sci Soc Am J
45:1023–1030, 1981) PTF. 相似文献

In this study 50 seismic events, preceding and accompanying the eruptions occurring in 1981 and 1983, have been considered.
Seismic moments, fault radii, stress drops and seismic energies have been calculated using Brune’s model (J Geophys Res 75:4997–5009,
1970; J Geophys Res 76:5002, 1971); site, anelastic attenuation along the propagation path, geometrical spreading and interaction with the free surface effects
are taken into account. For each event we have also estimated the equivalent Wood–Anderson magnitude (MWAeq) (Scherbaum and
Stoll in Bull Seism Soc Am 73:1321–1343, 1983); relations among all these source parameters have been determined. Furthermore, the hypothesis of self-similarity (Aki in
J Geophys Res 72:1217–1231, 1967) is not verified for events with seismic moments <1012 N-m: in fact the relationship between log-stress drop and log-moment is linear up to a moment of 1012 N-m (events of 1981 eruption), while for higher moments (events of 1983 eruption) the slope of the regression line is not
significantly different from zero. We suppose that such a behaviour is related to a heterogeneous medium with barriers on
the faults. Finally, the main conclusion is that eruptions of 1981 and 1983 differ from one another both in eruptive and seismic
aspects; analysis of seismic energies indicates an increase in Mt. Etna’s activity, confirmed by studies performed on the
following lateral eruption of 1991–1993 (Patanè et al. in Bull Volcanol 47:941–952, 1995), occurring on the same structural trend. 相似文献

In this paper, we present an original methodology for recovering boundary conditions and hydraulic parameters in an aquifer
domain. Boundary data are identified from the knowledge of over-specified boundary data on another part of the boundary. Then
parameters, here wells’ positions and fluxes, are recovered by the use of the reciprocity principle (Andrieux and Ben Abda,
Mech Res Commun 20:415–420, 1993; Andrieux and Ben Abda, Inverse Probl 12:553–564, 1996). The boundary recovering method is based on the minimization of an energy-like error functional (Andrieux et al., Inverse
Probl 22:115–133; Baranger and Andrieux, 2010). 相似文献

We consider groundwater steady flow in a heterogeneous porous formation of random and stationary log-conductivity Y = ln K, characterized by the mean 〈Y〉, and the two point correlation function C
Y
which in turn has finite, and different horizontal and vertical integral scales I and I
v
, respectively. The fluid velocity V, driven by a given head drop applied at the boundary, has constant mean value U ≡ (U, 0, 0). Approximate explicit analytical expressions for transverse velocity covariances are derived. The adopted methodology
follows the approach developed by Dagan and Cvetkovic (Spatial moments of kinetically sorbing plume in a heterogeneous aquifers,
Water Resour. Res. 29 (1993) 4053) to obtain a similar result for the longitudinal velocity covariance. Indeed, the approximate
covariances of transverse velocities are determined by requiring that they have the exact first order variances as well as
zero integral scale (G. Dagan, Flow and Transport in Porous Formations (Springer, 1989)) , and provide the exact asymptotic limits of the displacement covariance of the fluid particles obtained
by Russo (On the velocity covariance and transport modeling in heterogeneous anisotropic porous formations 1. Saturated flow,
Water Resour. Res., 31 (1995) 129). Comparisons with numerical results show that the proposed expressions compare quite well in the early time
regime, and for Ut/I >100. Since most of the applications, like assessing the effective mobility of contaminants or quantifying the potential
hazards of nuclear repositories, require predictions over higher times the proposed approximate expressions provide acceptable
results. The main advantage related to such expressions is that they allow obtaining closed analytical forms of spatial moments
pertaining to kinetically sorbing contaminant plumes avoiding the very heavy computational effort which is generally demanded.
For illustration purposes, we consider the movement of one contaminant species, and show how our approximate spatial moments
compare with the numerical simulations. 相似文献

The ocean off NW Africa is the second most important coastal upwelling system with a total annual primary production of 0.33 Gt
of carbon per year (Carr in Deep Sea Res II 49:59–80, 2002). Deep ocean organic carbon fluxes measured by sediment traps are also fairly high despite low biogenic opal fluxes. Due
to a low supply of dissolved silicate from subsurface waters, the ocean off NW Africa is characterized by predominantly carbonate-secreting
primary producers, i.e. coccolithophorids. These algae which are key primary producers since millions of years are found in
organic- and chlorophyll-rich zooplankton fecal pellets, which sink rapidly through the water column within a few days. Particle
flux studies in the Mauretanian upwelling area (Cape Blanc) confirm the hypothesis of Armstrong et al. (Deep Sea Res II 49:219–236,
2002) who proposed that ballast availability, e.g. of carbonate particles, is essential to predict deep ocean organic carbon fluxes.
The role of dust as ballast mineral for organic carbon, however, must be also taken into consideration in the coastal settings
off NW Africa. There, high settling rates of larger particles approach 400 m day−1, which may be due to a particular composition of mineral ballast. An assessment of particle settling rates from opal-production
systems in the Southern Ocean of the Atlantic Sector, in contrast, provides lower values, consistent with the assumptions
of Francois et al. (Global Biogeochem Cycles 16(4):1087, 2002). Satellite chlorophyll distributions, particle distributions and fluxes in the water column off NW Africa as well as modelling
studies suggest a significant lateral flux component and export of particles from coastal shelf waters into the open ocean.
These transport processes have implications for paleo-reconstructions from sediment cores retrieved at continental margin
settings. 相似文献

Numerical models of atmosphere–ocean circulation are widely used to understand past climate and to project future climate change. Although the same laws of physics, chemistry, and fluid dynamics govern any general circulation model, each model’s formulations and parameterizations are different, yielding different projections. Notwithstanding, models within an ensemble will have varying degrees of similarity for different outputs of interest. Multi-model ensembles have been used to increase forecast skill by using simple or weighted averages where weights have been obtained by considering factors such as estimated model bias and consensus with other models (Giorgi and Mearns, J. Clim. 15:1141–1158, 2002, Geophys. Res. Lett. 30:1629–1632, 2003; Tebaldi et al., Geophys. Res. Lett. 31:L24213, 2004, J. Clim. 18:1524–1540, 2005). This paper considers an alternative view of multi-model ensembles. For use with the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP), multivariate statistical models are employed to characterize modes of similarity within the members of an ensemble. Specifically, we propose a spatially-correlated latent variable model which facilitates the exploration of when, where, and how regional climate models are similar, and what factors best predict observed locations of model convergence. 相似文献

Soil radon concentration levels in Deir Abu-Said District, Irbid, Jordan were measured for several depths using CR-39 detectors,
in the summer 2004 for six geological formations, namely, Wadi umm ghudran (WG), Wadi esSir “massive” limestone, Amman silicified
limestone (ASL), Al-Hisa phosphatic limestone (AHP), Muwaqqar chalky-marl (MCM), and Basalt. Using a model (Yakovleva in Ann
Geophys 48(1):195–198, 2005) based on the solution of the diffusion equation in the quasi-homogenous approximation, the characteristics of radon transport
were calculated. Radon flux density from the Earth’s surface, the depth Z
eq, at which the equilibrium value of soil radon concentration is reached and the convective radon flux velocity (v) for the different soils are calculated and found to be consistent with similar values presented elsewhere. Calculations
indicate that the soil covering WG has a low radon risk while, on the contrary, AHP has a higher radon risk as expected, since
AHP has higher content of uranium. The other formations have intermediate values. The results of the present study confirm
the statement by Yakovleva (Ann Geophys 48(1):195–198, 2005) that two measurements suffice in order to estimate the characteristics of soil radon transport. 相似文献

Knowledge of heat transport properties as a function of mineral- and rock-composition and temperature is of major relevance
to understand and model heat transfer in the Earth’s interior. A systematic study on 13 natural and 4 synthetic garnets was
carried out in an attempt to obtain a better systematic understanding of the processes that affect the heat transport in minerals,
especially the effect of chemical substitution in solid solution series. It is found that substitution significantly lowers
the thermal diffusivity from end-member values for both synthetic and natural garnets with a minimum of thermal diffusivity
at an intermediate composition. The thermal diffusivity as a function of the degree of substitution can be described by the
approach of Padture and Klemens (J Am Ceram Soc 80 (4):1018–1020, 1997). With increasing temperature the thermal diffusivity decreases due to phonon-phonon-scattering effects. A quantitative analysis
of the high-temperature behaviour was carried out by using the model of Roufosse and Klemens (J Geophys Res 79 (5):703–705,
1974), which takes a lower limit of thermal diffusivity at elevated temperatures into account. The model allows for an extrapolation
of the deduced room temperature thermal diffusivities to higher temperatures. Furthermore, the model was modified to determine
the high temperature limit of the thermal diffusivity for all investigated natural garnets D
min to be 0.64 ± 0.03 mm2/s. 相似文献

To better understand the movement and transport of water and pollution through the coarse gravel unsaturated zone, the presented
research was conducted to estimate water flow and transport processes with a tracing experiment in a lysimeter in the Selniška
Dobrava. A combined tracing experiment was performed with deuterated water and the fluorescent dye—uranine. The fastest and
dominant flow velocities were calculated based on injection time, the first tracer appearance time and the time of highest
concentration. Mean flow velocity and vertical dispersion were estimated by an analytical best-fit method using one-dimensional
convection–dispersion model. Deuterium was confirmed as an ideal conservative tracer and a more suitable tracer than dye (uranine)
for the study of water flow in the unsaturated zone of a coarse gravel aquifer. The retardation factor of the dye as compared
with deuterium was 1.13–1.75, which is in agreement with previously published results. Artificial tracers, especially deuterated
water, were also identified as a very useful tool to assess other properties and differences in water flow in the unsaturated
zone of a coarse gravel aquifer such as velocity and dispersion. 相似文献

A basanite–nephelinite glass suite from early submarine Kilauea defines a continuous compositional array marked by increasing
concentrations of incompatible components with decreasing SiO2, MgO, and Al2O3. Like peripheral and post-shield strongly alkalic Hawaiian localities (Clague et al. in J Volcanol Geotherm Res 151:279–307,
2006; Dixon et al. in J Pet 38:911–939, 1997), the early Kilauea basanite–nephelinite glasses are interpreted as olivine fractionation products from primary magnesian
alkalic liquids. For early Kilauea, these were saturated with a garnet–phlogopite–sulfide peridotite assemblage, with elevated
dissolved CO2 contents responsible for the liquids’ distinctly low-SiO2 concentrations. Reconstructed primitive liquids for early Kilauea and other Hawaiian strongly alkalic localities are similar
to experimental 3 GPa low-degree melts of moderately carbonated garnet lherzolite, and estimated parent magma temperatures
of 1,350–1,400°C (olivine–liquid geothermometry) match the ambient upper mantle geotherm shortly beneath the base of the lithosphere.
The ~3 GPa source regions were too hot for stable crystalline carbonate and may have consisted of ambient upper mantle peridotite
containing interstitial carbonate–silicate or carbonatitic liquid, possibly (Dixon et al. in Geochem Geophys Geosyst 9(9):Q09005,
2008), although not necessarily, from the Hawaiian mantle plume. Carbonate-enriched domains were particularly susceptible to further
melting upon modest decompression during upward lithospheric flexure beneath the advancing Hawaiian Arch, or by conductive
heating or upward drag by the Hawaiian mantle plume. The early Kilauea basanite–nephelinite suite has a HIMU-influenced isotopic
character unlike other Hawaiian magmas (Shimizu et al. in EOS Tran Amer Geophys Union 82(47): abstr V12B-0962, 2001; Shimizu et al. in Geochim Cosmochim Acta 66(15A):710, 2002) but consistent with oceanic carbonatite involvement (Hoernle et al. in Contrib Mineral Petrol 142:520–542, 2002). It may represent the melting products of a fertile domain in the ambient upper mantle impinged upon and perturbed by the
sustained plume source that feeds later shield-stage magmatism. 相似文献

The results derived from geological data show that the half-spreading rate between the African and South American plates has
remained relatively constant at 2 cm/year over the past 80 million years (Silver et al. in Science 279:60–63, 1998). In this paper, we have reestimated a new relative angular velocity of Africa–South America plates using the selected space
geodetic station data through a new method. Our angular velocity estimates the spreading rates of Africa–South America plate
over several years that are similar in azimuth but significantly slower in rate than the NUVEL-1A predictions averaged over
the past 3 million years. The implied rates of deceleration coincide with longer-term trends over the past 35 million years
and may reflect the effects of plate interaction and coupling of Africa–South America plates.

This work is a contribution to the understanding of the mechanical properties of non-cohesive granular materials in the presence
of friction and a continuation of our previous work (Roul et al. 2010) on numerical investigation of the macroscopic mechanical properties of sand piles. Besides previous numerical results obtained
for sand piles that were poured from a localized source (“point source”), we here consider sand piles that were built by adopting
a “line source” or “raining procedure”. Simulations were carried out in two-dimensional systems with soft convex polygonal
particles, using the discrete element method (DEM). First, we focus on computing the macroscopic continuum quantities of the
resulting symmetric sand piles. We then show how the construction history of the sand piles affects their mechanical properties
including strain, fabric, volume fraction, and stress distributions; we also show how the latter are affected by the shape
of the particles. Finally, stress tensors are studied for asymmetric sand piles, where the particles are dropped from either
a point source or a line source. We find that the behaviour of stress distribution at the bottom of an asymmetric sand pile
is qualitatively the same as that obtained from an analytical solution by Didwania and co-workers (Proc R Soc Lond A 456:2569–2588,
2000). 相似文献

Gurenko et al. (Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011) report laser-assisted fluorination (LF) and secondary ionization mass spectrometry (SIMS) 18O/16O datasets for olivine grains from the Canary Islands of Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. As with prior studies of oxygen isotopes in Canary Island lavas (e.g. Thirlwall et al. Chem Geol 135:233–262, 1997; Day et al. Geology 37:555–558, 2009, Geochim Cosmochim Acta 74:6565–6589, 2010), these authors find variations in δ18Ool (~4.6–6.0 ‰) beyond that measured for mantle peridotite olivine (Mattey et al. Earth Planet Sci Lett 128:231–241, 1994) and interpret this variation to reflect contributions from pyroxenite-peridotite mantle sources. Furthermore, Gurenko et al. (Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011) speculate that δ18Ool values for La Palma olivine grains measured by LF (Day et al. Geology 37:555–558, 2009, Geochim Cosmochim Acta 74:6565–6589, 2010) may be biased to low values due to the presence of altered silicate, possibly serpentine. The range in δ18Ool values for Canary Island lavas are of importance for constraining their origin. Gurenko et al. (Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011) took a subset (39 SIMS analyses from 13 grains from a single El Hierro lava; EH4) of a more extensive dataset (321 SIMS analyses from 110 grains from 16 Canary Island lavas) to suggest that δ18Ool is weakly correlated (R 2 = 0.291) with the parameter used by Gurenko et al. (Earth Planet Sci Lett 277:514–524, 2009) to describe the estimated weight fraction of pyroxenite-derived melt (Xpx). With this relationship, end-member δ18O values for HIMU-peridotite (δ18O = 5.3 ± 0.3 ‰) and depleted pyroxenite (δ18O = 5.9 ± 0.3 ‰) were defined. Although the model proposed by Gurenko et al. (Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011) implicates similar pyroxenite-peridotite mantle sources to those proposed by Day et al. (Geology 37:555–558, 2009, Geochim Cosmochim Acta 74:6565–6589, 2010) and Day and Hilton (Earth Planet Sci Lett 305:226–234, 2011), there are significant differences in the predicted δ18O values of end member components in the two models. In particular, Day et al. (Geochim Cosmochim Acta 74:6565–6589, 2010) proposed a mantle source for La Palma lavas with low-δ18O (<5 ‰), rather than higher-δ18O (c.f. the HIMU-peridotite composition of Gurenko et al. in Contrib Mineral Petrol 162:349–363, 2011). Here we question the approach of using weakly correlated variations in δ18Ool and the Xpx parameter to define mantle source oxygen isotope compositions, and provide examples of why this approach appears flawed. We also provide reasons why the LF datasets previously published for Canary Island lavas remain robust and discuss why LF and SIMS data may provide complementary information on oxygen isotope variations in ocean island basalts (OIB), despite unresolved small-scale uncertainties associated with both techniques. 相似文献

In this study, we address the effective method to apply a novel reliability method integrated with finite element models to
the safety assessment of pilot site Scheldt in the Netherlands. This site was considered as one of the three main pilot sites
in Europe to assess the application of newly suggested techniques in order to reduce and manage the flood risk in the Floodsite
project. , 2004–2009). The novel method of dynamic bounds (DB) is applied to this site after a successful experience in (Rajabalinejad in Reliability
methods for finite element models, 1 edn. IOS Press, Amsterdam, 2009). In this study, the bi-functional response of the finite element model is considered, and the dimensional uncertainty is
defined presenting the expected uncertainty for a certain dimension in the DB method. The uncertainty is used as a judgment
tool to choose the dimension for the DB method for the desired accuracy. The results obtained by applying this technique are
presented in this paper. 相似文献

The paper presents a closed-form solution for the convergence curve of a circular tunnel in an elasto-brittle-plastic rock
mass with both the Hoek–Brown and generalized Hoek–Brown failure criteria, and a linear flow rule, i.e., the ratio between
the minor and major plastic strain increments is constant. The improvement over the original solution of Brown et al. (J Geotech
Eng ASCE 109(1):15–39, 1983) consists of taking into account the elastic strain variation in the plastic annulus, which was assumed to be fixed in the
original solution by Brown et al. The improvement over Carranza-Torres’ solution (Int J Rock Mech Min Sci 41(Suppl 1):629–639,
2004) consists of providing a closed-form solution, rather than resorting to numerical integration of an ordinary differential
equation. The presented solution, by rigorously following the theory of plasticity, takes into account that the elastic strain
components change with radial and circumferential stress changes within the plastic annulus. For the original Hoek–Brown failure
criterion, disregarding the elastic strain change leads to underestimate the convergence by up to 55%. For a rock mass failing
according to the generalized Hoek–Brown failure criterion, using the original failure criterion leads to a high probability
(97%) of underestimating the convergence by up to 100%. As a consequence, the onset or degree of squeezing may be underestimated,
and the loading on the support/reinforcement calculated with the convergence/confinement method may be largely underestimated. 相似文献

Truly multidimensional methods for hyperbolic equations use flow-based information to determine the computational stencil,
as opposed to applying one-dimensional methods dimension by dimension. By doing this, the numerical errors are less correlated
with the underlying computational grid. This can be important for reducing bias in flow problems that are inherently unstable
at simulation scale, such as in certain porous media problems. In this work, a monotone, multi-D framework for multiphase
flow and transport in porous media is developed. A local coupling of the fluxes is introduced through the use of interaction
regions, resulting in a compact stencil. A relaxed volume formulation of the coupled hyperbolic–elliptic system is used that
allows for nonzero residuals in the pressure equation to be handled robustly. This formulation ensures nonnegative masses
and saturations (volume fractions) that sum to one (Acs et al., SPE J 25(4):543–553, 1985). Though the focus of the paper is on immiscible flow, an extension of the methods to a class of more general scalar hyperbolic
equations is also presented. Several test problems demonstrate that the truly multi-D schemes reduce biasing due to the computational
grid. 相似文献

Coupling of oceanic and continental crust during Eocene eclogite-facies metamorphism: evidence from the Monte Rosa nappe,western Alps 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

High precision U–Pb geochronology of rutile from quartz–carbonate–white mica–rutile veins that are hosted within eclogite
and schist of the Monte Rosa nappe, western Alps, Italy, indicate that the Monte Rosa nappe was at eclogite-facies metamorphic
conditions at 42.6 ± 0.6 Ma. The sample area [Indren glacier, Furgg zone; Dal Piaz (2001) Geology of the Monte Rosa massif: historical review and personal comments. SMPM] consists of eclogite boudins that are exposed
inside a south-plunging overturned synform within micaceous schist. Associated with the eclogite and schist are quartz–carbonate–white
mica–rutile veins that formed in tension cracks in the eclogite and along the contact between eclogite and surrounding schist.
Intrusion of the veins at about 42.6 Ma occurred at eclogite-facies metamorphic conditions (480–570°C, >1.3–1.4 GPa) based
on textural relations, oxygen isotope thermometry, and geothermobarometry. The timing of eclogite-facies metamorphism in the
Monte Rosa nappe determined in this study is identical to that of the Gran Paradiso nappe [Meffan-Main et al. (2004) J Metamorphic Geol 22:261–281], confirming that these two units have shared the same Alpine metamorphic history. Furthermore,
the Gran Paradiso and Monte Rosa nappes underwent eclogite-facies metamorphism within the same time interval as the structurally
overlying Zermatt-Saas ophiolite [∼50–40 Ma; e.g., Amato et al. (1999) Earth Planet Sci Lett 171:425–438; Mayer et al. (1999) Eur Union Geosci 10:809 (abstract); Lapen et al. (2003) Earth Planet Sci Lett 215:57–72]. The nearly identical P–T–t histories of the Gran Paradiso, Monte Rosa, and Zermatt-Saas units suggest that these units shared a common Alpine tectonic
and metamorphic history. The close spatial and temporal associations between high pressure (HP) ophiolite and continental
crust during Alpine orogeny indicates that the HP internal basement nappes in the western Alps may have played a key role
in exhumation and preservation of the ophiolitic rocks through buoyancy-driven uplift. Coupling of oceanic and continental
crust may therefore be critical in preventing permanent loss of oceanic crust to the mantle. 相似文献
