Spatial and temporal variations in sedimentation rate and the formation of cyclic and event types of stratification have been identified by the correlation of sedimentation units between sediment cores, which were sampled on the same day during different seasons and years, as well as before and after specific events. Some results are presented from a number of selected areas along the coast of Sweden. The cores were collected in rectangular, transparent coring tubes which were subsequently X-rayed (the uppermost part in stereo) before the cores were extruded from the tubes. The optical data obtained from the radiographic images were then quantified by the use of X-ray densitometric methods. The use of X-ray radiographic techniques, especially stereo-radiography and X-ray densitometry, simplifies the core-to-core correlation as well as the determination of sedimentary properties and the quantification of sedimentation rates.  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 grain-size and chemical composition of the bottom sediments and their diatom assemblages from the northern Baltic Sea is discussed. Characteristic layers are distinguished based on the lithostratgraphy and sediment core correlation, which reflect the transition from the lacustrine to marine sedimentation settings during the initial Holocene. Sediment cores demonstrate lateral variations in the sedimentation patterns during the marine (Yoldia Sea), the lacustrine (Ancylus Lake), and the subsequent marine (Littorina Sea) stages: first two stages were characterized by the clay deposition, while the latter one featured accumulation of silty-clayey and clayey muds in bottom depressions. Sea-level fluctuations and corresponding environmental changes are recorded in microlaminated sequences, in particular, sapropelic muds.  相似文献

昆明滇池沉积速率的测定   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
于1989年12月采用^210Pb法测定昆明滇池(草海和外海)两个柱样的沉积速率,其值分别为0.29cm/a和0.28cm/a,平均值约为0.29cm/a。在沉积柱12cm以上,由于人为影响,其沉积速率没有规律,估计约有30-40年的历史。在12cm以下,^210Pbex随深度的变化明显地表现出规律性,以0.29cm/a的速率计算,从12cm到40cm这一段大约有90年的沉积历史。  相似文献

Stable oxygen isotope records are widely used in paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic studies. These records are subject to measurement and sampling errors as well as distortions from benthic mixing and nonlinear sedimentation. The magnitudes of these various errors are examined in this paper using an equatorial Pacific piston core record through Termination II. Measurement precision can be improved by increasing the sample size or by averaging the results from replicate analyses. Benthic mixing parameters and sedimentation rate history are important when a stratigraphic record is used to reconstruct original oceanographic and climatic signals. Obtaining an upper limit on the thickness of the benthic mixed layer is the most important concern in keeping processing noise small. Mixed layer thickness can be estimated in a variety of ways, including radiocarbon dating and the use of ash and tektite layer profiles. Sedimentation rate history can be determined in box cores by radiocarbon dating, but is difficult to constrain in older records. Uncertainties in the benthic mixing parameters and sedimentation rate history combine with measurement error to yield a large envelope of interpretive uncertainty around any measured isotope signal.  相似文献

Sulphidic mine waste disposed in marine environments constitutes an environmental risk to aquatic life due to potential uptake and accumulation of heavy metals in biota. Fiord sediments near the former Black Angel Mine in West Greenland are contaminated by lead and zinc as a result of submarine tailings disposal in 1973-1990. In 1999 cores were taken up to 10 km away from the disposal area. Analyses include heavy metals, radiochemical dating (210Pb) and high-resolution foraminiferal stratigraphy. The mining operation resulted in significant changes in the assemblage composition. In addition, up to 20% of the Melonis barleeanus population found in sediment deposited during nearby tailings disposal was deformed compared to a natural background of less than 5%. Throughout cores representing the last 100 years of sedimentation, the total numbers and frequency of morphological abnormalities among M. barleeanus revealed some correlation with heavy metals concentrations (up to r2 = 79%). We conclude that abnormalities among foraminifera may represent a useful biomarker for evaluating trends in the biological impact resulting of submarine tailings disposal as well as long-term environmental impact and subsequent recovery.  相似文献

利用多道α能谱仪,对2005年8~9月在海南岛近海采集的7个沉积岩芯进行了210Pb的沉积速率测定,探讨了海南岛近海陆架上现代沉积速率的区域性分布特征,结果表明:位于港湾内的B1168站位由于沉积物供应充足,有最高的沉积速率,达2.9 cm/a;位于河口海湾附近且受沿岸流影响的B289站位,有很高的沉积速率,可达1.6 cm/a,沉积环境较稳定;位于西南海底沙脊区北缘且靠近昌化江河口的B97、B135、B10站位也有较高沉积速率,分别达到1.0、0.89和0.47 cm/a,在表层都出现了210Pb放射性活度倒置的现象,表明所处区域有较强混合作用;处于西南外陆架的C4站位受北部湾环流影响,沉积速率为0.6 cm/a;位于东部外陆架的B377站位处于上升流区,沉积速率较低,为0.21 cm/a.可见,海南岛近海陆架上的现代沉积速率存在着明显的区域分布:在物质来源丰富的沿岸流作用区和河口区附近,现代沉积速率很高;在陆架环流沉积作用区,现代沉积速率也较高;在水深较大的外陆架上,由于沉积物供应相对匮乏,沉积速率一般较低;在近岸潮流沙脊区,由于水动力很强,无法形成现代细粒沉积.同时,在陆架上,沉积速率有随着水深的增加而降低的趋势.由此可见,海南岛近海海域的沉积速率与该区的物质供应、水动力条件和海底地形等因素有密切关系.  相似文献

Seven cores of bottom sediments were collected during the cruise of R/V Akademik Fedorov in 2000 along the latitudinal profile crossing the Mendeleev Rise near 82° N, and then studied. The length of cores varies from 240 to 334 cm. In all cores, the boundary of the changing remanent magnetization vector corresponding to the Brunhes-Matuyama boundary was established reliably. In five cores, this boundary is at a depth of 86–102 cm; in two cores, collected to the west of the Mendeleev Rise, at depth levels of 188 and 208 cm. The correlation of paleomagnetic and lithological data demonstrates that the upper boundary of a bench of speckled pelites, overlapped by a bench of variegated pelites, is confined to the Olduvai episode or horizons lying slightly below. The average sedimentation rate of sediments from the Mendeleev Rise during the last 2–2.5 Ma have not exceeded 1–1.3 mm/ka, increasing towards the shelf seas of northeast Russia.  相似文献

近百年来长江中游网湖沉积物粒度特征及其环境意义   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
通过放射性核素137Cs和210Pb精确计年,建立了长江中游原通江湖泊网湖近代沉积物年代序列。运用沉积物粒度指标分析了近100年来网湖沉积记录的环境特征,结果表明,近100多年来网湖沉积速率较大,平均约为0.56cm/a;沉积物粒度指标变化与流域降雨量、人类活动以及长江洪水密切相关,降水大的年份和大洪水时期沉积物粒径增大,分选性变差,峰态变宽。根据沉积物粒度指标特征,近100年来网湖沉积环境大致可分为两个阶段:(1)20世纪50年代以前,湖泊沉积主要受降水和洪水等自然因素控制,沉积物粒度组合变化相对较小,在湖泊水动力条件变化时沉积物粒度指标出现明显的波动,反映了流域降水及长江洪水对湖泊沉积环境的影响。(2)20世纪50年代以后,湖泊沉积物平均粒径较大且分选性差,与流域强烈的人类活动所引起的大量陆源碎屑进入湖泊有关,湖泊沉积粒度指标主要反映了流域工农业生产的快速发展、人口的持续增长以及水利工程建设等人类活动对湖泊沉积环境的影响。  相似文献

The Taunton River is a partially mixed tidal estuary in southeastern Massachusetts (USA) which has received significant contaminant inputs, yet little information exists on the history of discharge and the subsequent fate of these contaminants. Three sediment cores taken along a transect were analyzed, reconstructing the spatial and temporal trends of pollution in the estuary. A combination of radiometric dating, contaminant markers, and storm layers from major hurricanes were used to establish age models and sedimentation rates. Age estimates obtained from the different dating methods compared well, establishing an accurate history of contaminant release to the estuary. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were present in one core at depths corresponding to the early 1860s, earlier than previously established dates of introduction. Temporal and spatial trends of Cr, Cu, Hg and Pb indicated multiple sources of varying input to the river. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were present in each of the cores from the 1930s onward, with elevated levels still present in surficial sediments at several sites. A unique organic compound, Topanol, which was produced locally was used as a tracer to track contaminant transport in the river. Tracer data indicates that contaminants are still being transported and deposited to surficial sediments at high concentrations well after their discharge. This reconstruction demonstrates the utility of using multiple dating proxies where often the sole use of radiometric dating techniques is not an option and provides insights into the fate of contaminants discharged decades ago but continue to represent environmental risks.  相似文献

辽东湾是渤海的三大湾之一,进入该区的主要河流有辽河、大凌河、滦河和六股河等,水深一般在10.2-35m之间,沉积环境很复杂。测定、研究该区现代沉积速率和沉积通量对沉积动力学的研究和海洋油气开发工程都有意义。 近年来,国内外学者在利用210Pb法测定江河、湖泊和海洋陆架的沉积速率等方面取得了有价值的成果。到目前为止,除在渤海锦州湾测得两个岩芯的沉积速率外(夏明等,1983),关于辽东湾大面积海域的现代沉积速率和沉积通量还未见报道。本文介绍了该区现代沉积速率和沉积通量,利用210Pb的垂直剖面,探讨该区近百年来的沉积作用和沉积环境,划分了沉积强度区。  相似文献

The vertical distribution patterns of grain-size parameters, carbonate and organic carbon contents, and clay mineral abundances were examined in ten sediment cores from basins of the northern Aegean Sea. Sedimentation rates for Holocene deposition were determined on the basis of 11 14C datings and indirectly from the age of the lower sapropel S1; they were estimated at 14.9, 18.9–21.8 and 34.7 cm 103 year–1 for the North Skyros, Athos, and North Limnos basins respectively. The sedimentation rates decrease gradually towards the southern basins, as a consequence of the greater distance from sediment supply sources. Also, sedimentation rates appear to decrease from the last glacial to Holocene units. The clay minerals illite, smectite, kaolinite and chlorite were identified in the cores. Generally, illite is the predominant mineral, showing a north–south-decreasing trend, followed by smectite; both minerals have a terrigenous origin, and smectite occurrence is higher in basins located near Limnos Island where volcanic formations prevail. Terrigenous illite is abundant in the sapropel S1, exhibiting the highest content of all sedimentological units. High illite content is unusual in eastern Mediterranean sapropels. This pattern is attributed to the proximity of the N. Aegean Sea basins to Balkan and Turkish land sources. In general, sediment mass gravity flow processes coupled with seasonal deposition from nepheloid layers are the predominant sedimentation mechanisms in the N. Aegean basins. The relative sea-level stand, the proximity to terrigenous sources (rivers), the morphology of the N. Aegean basins (small dimensions, isolated, steep slopes), as well as seismic activity and strong bottom currents are probably the major factors controlling sedimentation in the region.  相似文献

对珠江口外和粤西沿海的两个具百余年沉积历史的柱状样进行了基于支链与类戊二烯甘油四醚(glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether,GDGT)化合物比值的BIT(branched and isoprenoid tetraether)指标分析,该指标指示的是沉积有机质中陆源土壤来源有机质的相对输入贡献。结果发现,BIT值在两个柱状样中都小于0.26,显示水生有机质是沉积有机质的主要来源。BIT时间序列在两个柱状样中表现出一致的变化趋势:大约在1940年代以前,BIT保持在相对稳定的高值,此后表现出逐渐下降趋势,1990年以来下降趋势显著。这一下降趋势表明,半个多世纪以来沉积有机质中陆源有机质的相对贡献是持续减少的,或者水生有机质的相对贡献是持续增加的。在分析了陆源和水生有机碳沉积通量变化序列的基础上,认为水生生产力对沉积有机质的相对贡献持续增大是BIT指数持续降低的主要原因。水生有机碳输出通量半个多世纪来的上升趋势及其与广东省GDP变化趋势的相似性表明,陆地人类活动的不断增强导致了沿海水域营养化水平的不断升高。  相似文献

冲绳海槽晚更新世以来沉积速率的时空差异及其控制因素   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
收集和分析了冲绳海槽内不同区域的33个站位柱状样的测年资料,计算了不同时段的沉积速率。结果表明,冲绳海槽内晚更新世以来的沉积速率有较大的时空差异,在空间上,由北向南有沉积速率增加的趋势,而靠近海槽西坡的站位沉积速率要大于东坡;在时间上,晚更新世期间的沉积速率要明显大于全新世。冲绳海槽内不同区域和不同时段沉积速率的差异反映了海槽内沉积环境和物质来源的复杂性,这种差异性主要是由不同区域沉积作用和物源供应变化的结果引起,末次冰消期以来的古海洋环境的变化、黑潮的摆动等因素也起到一定的作用,而事件沉积(如火山—热液作用和浊流沉积)的影响也不容忽视。  相似文献

《Oceanologica Acta》1998,21(2):263-269
A study of the recent sedimentation of the ria de Gernika (Bay of Biscay) is undertaken to characterise different steps of its Holocene filling. Sedimentological and micropalaeontological analysis of six cores sampled in the ria, completed with absolute dating (14C, and based upon 210Pb exc.), allow us to identify three phases in the filling of the ria that are limited by two transgressive shifts (3500 and 2500 yr. B.P.) already described in other areas of the Bay of Biscay. In the first phase, lithologies as well as benthic foraminifera and ostracode assemblages are typical of coastal marine palaeo-environment. During the second phase the euryhaline waters progessively occupy the central area of the estuary. Here the presence of allochthonous microfauna, particularly of planktonic foraminifera, indicates an increase of exchanges with marine waters that can reach the inner areas of the estuarine system. The last phase (2500 yr. B.P. to the present), which corresponds to the recent and active sedimentation, is marked by an impoverishment of the microfaunas, the filling of some channels and the increase of salt marshes. The estimated sedimentation rate for the upper decimetres of the cores (0.73-1.29 cm·yr−1) shows faster sedimentary filling of the ria with anthropic action evidenced by the presence of metallic contaminants and hypohaline microfauna.  相似文献

应用六氯化苯测年法对厦门港现代沉积速率的测定   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
岩芯柱样用静力岩芯采样器于1986年采自福建省厦门港一九龙江口海域。通过对这些岩芯柱样中六氯化苯(BHC)的垂直分布状况和生物扰动类型的分析,应用 S_R=D_(BHC-D_(mix)/Y的计算模式,获得了这些岩芯的现代沉积速率数据。将这些数据、方法与原理完全不同的~(210)Pb放射性同位素测年法同岩芯测年数据比较,其结果在数据和数量级上有一定可比性。初步认为,再经进一步探索和改进,BHC测年法有可能应用于近岸河口港湾几十年来现代沉积速率的测定而与其它测年法互为补充。  相似文献
