A flash flood that occurred in July 1996 in the Saguenay area (Québec, Canada), deposited a bed of cohesive sediments, average of 10–60 cm thick, over an area of 65 km2 of the deep fjord basin of the upper Saguenay Fjord. Because this turbidite covered contaminated sediments, the resuspension potential of surficial sediments is an important parameter in determining the efficiency of the 1996 layer as a natural capping layer. This is because contaminants that may have diffused through the 1996 layer may be resuspended. The resuspension potential of surficial sediments in Saguenay Fjord was investigated in situ over a 3-yr period at fifteen sites in the Baie des Ha! Ha! and the North Arm using a benthic flume, the Miniflume. In addition, geotechnical measurements, photographs of benthic sediments and recordings of benthic current velocities were also carried out. The measured critical velocities of sediment resuspension (uc) vary between 7 and 15 cm s− 1. The maximum bottom current speed recorded in the North Arm and in Baie des Ha! Ha! from May to August 2000 was 27 cm s− 1. Erosion depths were determined from Miniflume data combined with laboratory measurements carried out with an axial tomography scanner, which provided variation of sediment density at an interval of 0.13 mm. A general relationship between depth of erosion (ze, mm) and shear stress applied on the bed (τb, Pa) was determined. As Saguenay Fjord sediment characteristics vary greatly from one station to another, the potential for resuspension of surficial sediments shows the same trend. 相似文献

Recent studies have indicated the existence of a considerably higher planktonic biomass in the deep waters of the Saguenay Fjord as compared to corresponding depths in the adjacent St Lawrence Estuary on the other side of a shallow sill. The hypothesis that has been put forward to explain this phenomenon is related to the advection of near surface estuarine waters, at times very rich in particulate matter, over the entrance sill into the deeper waters of the fjord. Mixing processes associated with the development of a density flow, the presence of a hydraulic jump or other mechanisms are assumed to be responsible for the common occurrence of lower density subsurface water within the basin as compared to that penetrating over the sill.The exchange processes between the estuary and the fjord are described and an estimate made of the estuarine water volume that penetrates into the lower layer of the fjord over a semidiurnal tide cycle. From these calculations, the replacement time for the outer basin was estimated to range between one and four days. The biological characteristics of this water were used to establish a budget for particulate matter exchange which showed, in early August, a typical net input of ? 188 t of particulate organic carbon into the deep waters of the fjord over one tide cycle. 相似文献

Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis L.) taken from 27 stations along the estuary and gulf of St. Lawrence were analyzed for their content in 3,4-benzopyrene. Most of the concentrations are below the detection limit for the analytical method, i.e. 0·15 μg kg?1 (dry weight) and probably reflect the natural baseline level. However, mussels from two stations located at the mouth of Saguenay Fjord exhibit very high contents: 24 and 28·5μg kg?1 (dry weight). A mussel transplantation experiment has shown that the entire Fjord is contaminated by anthropogenic 3,4-benzopyrene. 相似文献

采用X射线物相分析，对大凌河和辽河13个表层沉积物样品和4个柱状样中168个现代沉积物样品的主要黏土矿物含量组成进行分析。研究结果表明:大凌河沉积物黏土矿物组合为蒙脱石-伊利石-高岭石-绿泥石，辽河沉积物黏土矿物组合为伊利石-蒙脱石-绿泥石-高岭石。大凌河沉积物中蒙脱石与伊利石百分含量比值多大于1，而辽河沉积物该比值都小于1，且通过ISKc端元图能较清晰地区分两类沉积物，黏土矿物可以作为两条河流沉积物的判别标志。大凌河流域和辽河流域均以物理风化为主，辽河流域物理风化略强。流域内地质背景和气候条件等因素的差异造成了两条河流沉积物黏土矿物组成的不同。 相似文献

东海内陆架泥质区是东海现代沉积的"汇",其中黏土组分是泥质区沉积物的重要组成部分。沉积物中黏土矿物组合是反映沉积区物质来源和搬运动力状况的良好指标。本文利用XRD方法分析了东海内陆架泥质区两根沉积物岩心中黏土矿物组成和含量变化,结合放射性年代标定,揭示了近百年来黏土矿物组成的演变特征,探讨了黏土矿物的来源及其含量变化的制约因素。结果表明:东海内陆架泥质区沉积物以长江来源物质为主,受黄河及瓯江等河流物质的影响;近百年来内陆架泥质区黏土矿物组合发生显著阶段性变化,它们是东亚季风强弱波动和长江入海悬沙减少的共同作用的结果。 相似文献

中小河流对长江水下三角洲远端泥沉积的贡献:以椒江和瓯江为例 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2
海洋沉积物的来源、输运过程及其归宿一直是海洋沉积学的重要研究课题。浙闽沿岸泥区的沉积物主要来自长江及浙闽沿岸的中小河流，对后者的贡献量进行定量化分析是相关研究比较薄弱的环节，这个问题的难点可能是缺乏同时指示"物源"和"供应量"两个指标的示踪物。本文以椒江和瓯江这两条河流对浙闽沿岸泥区的贡献为切入点，运用了粒度端元和黏土矿物两种示踪指标进行研究，目的有两个:一是综合评价两种示踪指标的效率，二是定量化地了解中小河流对浙闽沿岸泥区的贡献。借助端元粒度分析模型对浙闽沿岸泥区的表层样粒度数据进行分解，划分出4个不同的端元，结果显示，EM1端元表现出长江来源的属性，EM2端元表现出椒江和瓯江等沿岸中小河流来源的属性，EM3端元可能来源于研究区南部并有向北输送的趋势，EM4端元可能来源于陆架中部的残留砂沉积区。基于特征粒级的进一步分析表明，研究区6个站位的柱样沉积物中都出现了第一特征粒级，在3.91~9.29 μm之间，推测与长江口外悬浮颗粒物有关，并认为柱样所在的区域都会受到长江入海泥沙的影响。黏土矿物由于具有粒度依赖性，在定量探讨椒江与瓯江的泥沙贡献量时，只能指示小于2 μm的细颗粒物的贡献量，而粒度端元作为一种"全粒度"的指标，在相对封闭的系统内，可以同时解答"从哪里来"和"有多少"这两个示踪问题，是受限比较小的示踪物指标，未来在定量研究物源方面可能会有较大的作用。 相似文献

珠江口河流输沙、河口沉积与粒度信息之间的联系 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
河口三角洲地区泥沙供应充分，是现代沉积速率较高的区域。快速沉积的泥沙包含高分辨率的环境信息。采用放射性同位素测年方法研究了珠江口伶仃洋大铲湾海域6个柱样的现代沉积速率，以2mm的间隔分析了其中2个柱样上部的粒度，并对其平均粒径和珠江流域的年输沙量进行了快速傅里叶变换，以期获取河流泥沙供应、河口沉积速率和沉积物垂向粒度变化的对应关系。结果表明，大铲湾海域的沉积速率为1～3cm／a，受动力条件和泥沙供应条件的影响显著。2个柱样的平均粒径的最显著重现周期与珠江年输沙量的周期性有较好的对应关系，并可能反映了季节的、年的和多年的沉积速率信息。对于每年沉积厚度在厘米级的环境，以毫米级的高分辨率进行粒度分析，有可能揭示出沉积物供应的季节变化和年际变化。本研究亦可为其他河口的相关工作提供借鉴。 相似文献

The physical processes of instability and soil mass transport in a soft clay bed by waves were quantitatively reproduced and
measured in a laboratory soil-wave tank. Soft clays behave like plasto-elastic materials and dissipate wave energy quickly.
Waves destroy clay fabrics gradually and soften clay. Waves induce mass transport of clay in the clay bed. The clay mass transport
increases with wave energy. The Froude-Mach similitude is applied to the experimental data to hindcast the soil mass transport
caused by Hurricane Camille in 1969. 相似文献

本文介绍了用２１０Ｐｂ 和２３９Ｐｕ 测定Ｓａｇｕｅｎａｙ 湾的沉积速率。在沉积物中过剩２１０Ｐｂ 的比活度随着深度的增加呈指数衰减。但在柱状样８２－０７２ 的４５ｃｍ 处和８２－１４７ 的６ｃｍ 处,过剩２１０Ｐｂ 的比活度发生突变。这可能与１９７１ 年发生的陆倾有关。用２１０Ｐｂ 方法测得柱状样８２－０７２ 和８２－１４７ 的沉积速率分别为３．５０ｃｍ ／ａ 和０．４９ｃｍ ／ａ,与用２３９Ｐｕ 方法测得的沉积速率３．６０ｃｍ ／ａ和０．５０ｃｍ ／ａ 基本是一致的。 相似文献

Seven piston cores retrieved from the Algerian margin from Oran to 80 km east of Algiers were studied to identify sediment gravity-flow deposits and their sources. At the foot of the slope, five sediment cores indicate a decreasing frequency of turbidite sequences from the transgressive systems tract to the highstand systems tract resulting in lower off-shelf sediment fluxes during the last highstand episode. There is an approximately log-normal frequency distribution of bed thickness that increases for larger grain-size class, but this relationship is frequently altered by truncation of the top of the turbidite sequence. In the deep basin off Algeria, two sediment cores indicate that turbidite sequences are both thicker and more preserved than at the foot of the slope and are observed through the entire sediment core implying various origin of the gravity flow (eustatic change, seismicity). 相似文献

Two cores from an anoxic basin of the southeastern Mediterranean Ridge were investigated to compare the clay mineralogy of pelagic sediments and of the interbedded sapropels. The sediments of Core BAN 84-02, raised from the basin floor, and those of Core BAN 84-08, from the eastern plateau of the Bannock Basin, provide evidence for different sedimentary environments. The anoxic conditions, which are still present near the bottom, produce an important decrease in smectite crystallinity (Core 02), whereas well-organized smectite persists in the normally oxygenated sediments (Core 08). Detrital clay minerals from various sources were deposited in the basin and no appreciable diagenesis was recognized downcore.
The clay mineralogy of the sapropels shows remarkable differences compared to the pelagic sediments. The changes observed are dependent on aggressive chemical reaction and on the sudden input of detrital crystalline sediments into the stagnant environment. A climatic curve registers the variable degree of clay mineral hydrolysis in continental areas and exhibits good correspondence with an already published oxygen isotope curve for the area. 相似文献

对南海西部表层沉积物进行系统取样分析表明,该区黏土矿物总体以伊利石为主,平均含量超过50%,其次为蒙脱石、绿泥石和高岭石含量较低,伊利石和蒙脱石含量变化较大,两者呈负相关关系,而绿泥石和高岭石含量变化较小,两者呈正相关关系。根据黏土矿物组合及其分布特征,南海西部海域大致可以分为A、B、C、D四区,其中A区以高伊利石和低蒙脱石含量为特征,B区伊利石含量明显下降,蒙脱石含量增多,C区以较高蒙脱石含量和低绿泥石、高岭石含量为特征,D区为相对低伊利石,高蒙脱石、绿泥石和高岭石,且往东南方向蒙脱石含量增大,而伊利石含量下降。与邻区黏土矿物组合对比研究表明,高伊利石含量的A区物源,除来自华南大陆的珠江、韩江等大小河流外,可能有相当部分来自东北方向,包括台湾岛及台湾海峡等。越南岸外的陆坡区细粒沉积物与陆架区有明显的继承性,表明其物源主要来自中南半岛,而红河物源对陆坡及深海盆的影响相对较小。南部陆架-陆坡区的物源主要有湄公河和加里曼丹岛,但两者的混合明显。因此,从区域分布来看,来自台湾海峡的细粒沉积物对南海深海盆影响最大,这可能主要是有由于表层环流所致。 相似文献

Holocene mass flow processes produce distinctive sedimentary structures in this silled, anoxic basin characterized by high
sedimentation rates of fine-grained fill. Mud flow deposits possess a 0899 1444 V
3 diagnostic vertical sequence of structures on the lower slope. Basin floor turbidites possess a variety of bed set combinations
of: 1) finely laminated layers, 2) graded silt and clay layers, and 3) ungraded, massive silts and clays with floating sand
grains. Massive, ungraded flood-derived suspensate deposits can be distinguished from turbidites. Turbidites and suspensate
deposits constitute 30% of the sampled sediment column. Varve counting of the remaining 70% provides frequencies of turbidite
and flood suspensate layer deposition. 相似文献

Escanaba Trough, the median valley of Gorda Ridge, is partly filled with terrigenous sediment which was eroded mostly from rocks in the Klamath and Columbia River drainage basins and transported across the sea floor to the trough by turbidity currents. Basal or lower cores contain sand derived from the south-central metamorphic belt of the Klamath Mountains, whereas the upper cores have sand derived from the Columbia River drainage basin. Columbia River sediment reached Escanaba Trough either after a barrier at Blanco Valley had been destroyed by tectonic movement or after a gradient, sufficient to maintain turbidity current momentum, had developed between the Astoria Fan apex and the trough. Sediment in Escanaba Trough is young and most probably was deposited when sea level was lower than at present, perhaps during the Wisconsin Glacial Age. 相似文献

A distinct porcellanite layer from the Southwest Indian Ridge intercalated in Pleistocene diatom ooze was studied using nondestructive physical property measurements and sedimentological data. This bed was sampled by two piston cores at a water depth of 2615 m. The 3–5 cm thick porcellanite layer appears in the cores at a depth of 6.03 m (Core PS2089-2) and 7.73 m (Core PS2089-1) below the seafloor. Due to its characteristic physical properties the porcellanite bed can be detected with core measurements, and its distribution and lateral extent mapped with echosounding. The physical index properties, wet bulk density and electrical resistivity, increase significantly across this bed. Magnetic susceptibility is used to compare the lithological units of both cores and to distinguish whether resistivity anomalies are caused by a higher amount of terrigenous components or by the presence of porcellanite. The porcellanite has the special characteristic to affect a positive anomaly in resistivity but not in susceptibility. Most marine sediments, in contrast, show a positive correlation of magnetic susceptibility versus electrical resistivity; therefore a combination of electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility logs yields a definite detection of the porcellanite bed. Images from the X-ray CT survey indicate that the porcellanite is lithified and brittle and fragmented when the piston corer penetrated the bed. 相似文献

南海南部沉积物中黏土矿物组成变化及其古沉积信息记录初探 总被引：7，自引：1，他引：6
通过对南海南部2个代表13万a以来柱状沉积样品高分辨率的黏土矿物组成分析,认为所研究的黏土矿物主要为陆源碎屑成因,埋藏过程中的成岩变化或黏土矿物自生特征不明显,而以采样点南面加里曼丹岛、菲律宾东、西两侧的火山群岛和湄公河流域为主要陆源的地质条件、风化环境及物质迁移途径的差异控制了南海南部沉积物中黏土矿物组成的空间和时间变化.研究发现,沉积物样品中较高的蒙皂石含量对应于地质历史上的暖期,而较低的蒙皂石含量对应于冷期.伊利石的行为及其古海洋指示意义则与蒙皂石相反.将柱状沉积物样品上高分辨率的黏土矿物组成分析作为一种研究方法,有助于研究晚第四纪以来南海陆源碎屑物的源区特征、迁移途径及海区古环境演变. 相似文献
