Reconstructing marine paleoenvironments from the skeletal hardparts of nektic organisms is often hampered by their unknown migrational pathways involving different water masses and their corresponding physico-chemical parameters. Despite significant progress over the last years, the reconstruction of migration patterns of extinct ammonoids is difficult because both, vertical and horizontal ones lead to an intricate combination of reconstructed seawater temperatures. Paleonvironmental data retrieved from exceptionally well-preserved lower Albian (Douvilleiceras mammillatum ammonite zone, uppermost CC8a nannofossil zone, 110.5–111.0 Ma) cephalopod shells from Madagascar (Mahajanga Basin, 40–42° southern latitude) are reconstructed based on a novel multi-proxy approach. Here we combine and contrast: (i) nacre tablet-paleobathymetry, (ii) Westermann Morphospace, and (iii) shell isotope geochemistry analysis. Results obtained allow for a robust reconstruction of habitat depth, paleo-seawater temperatures, and paleoecology of extinct cephalopod taxa. The discocone nautiloid Cymatoceras is regarded as vertical migrant with a maximum habitat depth of 250 m and a mean habitat water temperature of 20–21 °C. All three ammonoid taxa (Cleoniceras, Desmoceras, and Eogaudryceras) share a platycone to planorbicone shell shape suggesting a demersal life habit at maximal water depths of 450–500 m and temperatures of 19–21 °C for Cleoniceras and Desmoceras, and the deepest (525 m) and coolest (14 °C) habitat for Eogaudryceras. Circumstantial evidence from benthic mollusk shells from the same stratigraphic interval as well as sedimentological and paleopathological data provide further support for habitat reconstructions. Reconstructed paleotemperatures shown here provide well-constrained evidence for the thermal structure of past oceanic water masses and have significance for Cretaceous paleoceanography in general. 相似文献

港珠澳跨海通道由东、西人工岛实现桥隧过渡,海中隧道采用沉管法,沉管段总长5 664 m,从西人工岛开始布置E1—E33管节,标准管节长180 m,宽37.95m,高11.4 m,重约8万t。岛隧结合区受到人工岛挑流和基槽开挖水深突变的影响,水流结构复杂,沉管沉放时也会引起水流变化。沉管安全沉放和精准对接安装需掌握受到的水流力大小。利用宽水槽几何比尺为100的正态模型,开展岛隧结合区水流分布和沉管沉放过程水流力试验研究。结果表明:岛头无掩护措施时,岛壁挑流影响到E1管节中部附近,表、底层流速大于中层;E1管节沉放过程中纵向水流力最大可达4 601 kN,E2管节纵向水流力平均5 149 kN;掩护E1管节后,E1管节处流速大幅减小,E2管节中部受掩护体挑流影响最大,流速最大增加40%,中层流速大于表、底层;E2管节纵向水流力平均5 240 kN。当沉管完全入水后,基槽内流速较小,沉放过程中受到的水流力逐渐减小。岛隧结合区水流垂线分布并不是指数分布,受到岛头壁挑流的影响沿管节长度方向流速分布也不均匀,管段浮运水流力公式并不适用计算沉管沉放过程受到水流力的大小。 相似文献

We describe a new method for the calculation of river flow that uses the oxygen isotope composition of bivalve mollusk shells that grew in the river-water/seawater mixing zone of the Colorado River estuary. Sclerochronological techniques are used to identify tidally-induced, fortnight-scale bundles of daily growth increments within shell cross-sections. These fortnightly markers are used to establish a chronology for samples taken for δ18O analysis. A composite seasonal δ18O profile derived from five shells that grew in the absence of river-water flow is used as a baseline against which profiles of river-influenced shells are compared. Because this comparison is between matched fortnights within a year, the temperature of shell growth is likely to be very similar. The difference in δ18O between the river-influenced shell and the “no-flow” composite shell therefore represents the change in the δ18O of the water due to the presence of river water in the mixing zone. The river water end-member is also determined within a fortnightly context so that the change in the δ18O of mixing-zone water can be used to calculate the relative proportions of seawater and fresh-water. The fresh-water end-member is calculated from the δ18O of bivalves alive prior to the emplacement of dams and water diversions on the Colorado River. The marine end-member is based on direct measurements of the δ18O of northern Gulf of California water during times of no Colorado River flow. The system has been calibrated to absolute flow amounts using recent releases of known volume and rate. 相似文献

Detailed study of marine shales (the Ostracod zone) within a Cretaceous, third-order transgressive-regressive sequence in the Alberta Foreland Basin reveals a systematic association between shell beds and parasequence-scale flooding surfaces, including surfaces of maximum flooding. The Ostracod zone (a subsurface lithostratigraphic unit known as the Calcareous Member in outcrop) consists of 10-20 m of black shale and bioturbated sandstones with many thin, fossiliferous limestones. Parasequences (shallowing-up cycles 2–3 m thick) were delineated within this transgressive unit based on lithology, sedimentary structures, degree of bioturbation, dinoflagellate diversity, total organic carbon and carbon/sulphur ratios; many flooding surfaces are firmgrounds or hardgrounds. Shell-rich limestones occur in three different positions relative to these flooding surfaces, and each has a distinctive bioclastic fabric and origin. (i) Base-of-parasequence shell beds (BOPs) lie on or just above flooding surfaces in the deepest water part of a parasequence; they are thin (up to a few centimetres), graded or amalgamated skeletal packstones/wackestones composed of well-sorted granular shell, and are interpreted as hydraulic event concentrations of exotic shell debris. (ii) Top-of-parasequence shell beds (TOPs) are capped by flooding surfaces at the top, shallowest water part of a parasequence; they typically are several decimetres thick, are physically amalgamated packstones/grainstones or bioturbated wackestones, and contain abundant whole as well as comminuted shells; these are composite, multiple-event concentrations of local shells. (iii) Mid-sequence shell beds rest on as well as are capped by firmgrounds or hardgrounds, and are intercalated between parasequences in the deepest water part of the larger sequence; they are laterally extensive lime mudstones a few decimetres thick, with sparse shells in various states of dissolution, recrystallization and replacement; these beds are terrigenous-starved hiatal concentrations and record maximum flooding within the Ostracod zone. Offshore sections of the Ostracod zone typically contain several starved mid-sequence shell beds, underscoring the difficulty of identifying a single‘maximum flooding surface’ within a third-order sequence. 相似文献

The composition and structure of mineral substance in shells of three Jurassic ammonites (Cadoceras elatmae) from the Makar’ev South outcrop in Kostroma oblast, Russia, have been studied. The studied shells differ in degree of preservation.
The shell of one ammonite with partly retained internal structure has been replaced with quartz, carbonate-bearing apatite-(CaF),
and newly formed aragonite. Other shells without retained internal structure underwent phosphatization rather than replacement
with quartz. This difference serves as the basis for a discussion on fossilization conditions. Silicification of the shell
supports preservation of its wall and elements of the internal structure. It is suggested that quartz might be biogenic in
origin and was formed in cavities of phosphate substance, which had replaced the soft tissue of ammonites. 相似文献

Clumped isotopes analyses in modern land snail shells are reported and used to interpret shell oxygen isotopes within the context of terrestrial paleo-climatology. Carbonate clumped isotopes thermometry is a new technique for estimating the temperature of formation of carbonate minerals. It is most powerful as an indicator of environmental parameters in combination with δ18O, allowing the partitioning of the δ18O signal into its temperature and water components. Results indicate that snail shell calcification temperatures are typically higher than either the mean annual or the snail activity season ambient temperatures. Small inter- and intra-snail variability suggests that shell aragonite forms at isotopic equilibrium so that the derived temperatures are an eco-physiological parameter reflecting snail body temperature at the time of calcification. We attribute these higher body temperatures to snail eco-physiological adaptations through shell color, morphology, and behavior. In combination with shell oxygen isotope composition, these temperatures allow us to calculate snail body water composition, which is in turn interpreted as a paleo-hydrological indicator, reflecting isotopic composition of local precipitation modified by local evaporation. 相似文献

This study addresses the impact of nonlinear wave evolution on the resulting wave force values on a vertical wall. To this end, the problem of interaction between non-breaking water waves and a vertical wall over constant depth is investigated. The investigation is performed using a two-dimensional wave flume model which is based on the high-order spectral method. Wave generation is simulated at the flume entrance by means of the additional potential concept. This model enables to preserve full dispersivity. Therefore, the model enables to examine the role of nonlinear evolution in the formation of extreme wave force values on a vertical wall for a wide range of water depths. The results for the force exerted on a vertical wall are presented for shallow and deep water conditions. In shallow water, extreme wave force values occur due to the formation of an undular bore. In deep water, extreme wave forces have been obtained as a result of disintegration process of incident wave groups into envelope solitons. Multiple maximum force values have been detected for each of the highest run-up peaks. This phenomenon has been introduced in shallow water conditions and is extended here for deep water conditions. 相似文献

Knowledge of seismic active earth pressure behind rigid retaining wall is very important. In this paper, the pseudo-dynamic
approach, which considers the effect of both compression and shear wave propagation, is adopted to calculate the seismic active
force supporting c-Φ backfill. Considering a planar rupture surface, the effect of wide range of parameters like inclination of retaining wall,
wall friction and soil friction angle, shear wave and compression wave velocity, horizontal and vertical seismic coefficients
are taken into account to evaluate the seismic active force. Results are presented in terms of seismic coefficients in tabular
form and variation of pressure with depth. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine how Unio bivalve shells fragment within the channel of the Sakmara River (southern Urals, Russia). The Sakmara River has an abundant bivalve population and a highly variable flow regime which, at low flow, allowed much of the channel bed to be examined. A large data set of 1013 shells (Unio sp.) was examined and these were shown to have consistent patterns of orientation, aspect, shell abrasion, perforation and fracture. The close spatial relationship between areas of shell abrasion, shell perforation and shell fracture showed that they form part of a continuum whereby areas of abrasion evolve into perforations and perforations coalesce and enlarge into fractures. The mechanism of shell damage proposed is one of abrasion in place, whereby the shell remains stationary on the surface of the point bar and is impacted by bedload. Underpinning this process are the hydrodynamic properties of the bivalve shell, with consistency in the orientation and aspect of the valve in a flowing current producing consistency in the distribution of damage on the shell surface. Valves preferentially lie in a convex‐up position and orientate in the flow such that the umbo faces upstream. The elevated, upstream‐facing umbo region is exposed to particle impact and is the first to be abraded and perforated. The vulnerability of the umbo to perforation is greatly increased by the thinness of the shell at the umbo cavity. The in situ abrasion process is enhanced by the development of an armoured gravel bed which restricts valve mobility and maintains shells within the abrasion zone at the sediment–water interface. The in situ abrasion process shows that broken shells are not a reliable indicator of long distance transport. The study also raises the issue that tumbling barrel experiments, which are generally used to simulate shell abrasion, will not replicate the type of directionally focused sand‐blasting which appears to be the principal cause of shell fragmentation in the Sakmara River. 相似文献

Dreissena polymorpha is an exotic freshwater bivalve species which was introduced into the Great Lakes system in the fall of 1985 through the release
of ballast water from European freighters. Utilizing individual growth rings of the shells, the stable isotope distribution
(δ18O and δ13C) was determined for the life history of selected samples which were collected from the western basin of Lake Erie. These
bivalves deposit their shell in near equilibrium with the ambient water and thus reflect any annual variation of the system
in the isotopic records held within their shells. Observed values for δ18O range from -6.64 to –9.46‰ with an average value of –7.69‰ PDB, while carbon values ranged from –0.80 to –4.67‰ with an
average value of –1.76‰ PDB. Dreissena polymorpha shells incorporate metals into their shells during growth. Individual shell growth increments were analyzed for Pb, Fe, Mg,
Mn, Cd, Cu, and V concentrations. The shells show increased uptake of certain metals during periods of isotopic enrichment
which correspond with warmer water temperatures. Since metals are incorporated into the shells, the organism may be useful
as a biomonitor of metal pollution within aquatic environments.

Statistical and geostatistical features of streambed hydraulic conductivities in the Platte River, Nebraska 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Xunhong Chen 《Environmental Geology》2005,48(6):693-701
This paper presents streambed hydraulic conductivities of the Platte River from south-central to eastern Nebraska. The hydraulic
conductivities were determined from river channels using permeameter tests. The vertical hydraulic conductivities (K
v
) from seven test sites along this river in south-central Nebraska belong to one statistical population. Its mean value is
40.2 m/d. However, the vertical hydraulic conductivities along four transects of the Ashland test site in eastern Nebraska
have lower mean values, are statistically different from the K
v
values in south-central Nebraska, and belong to two different populations with mean values of 20.7 and 9.1 m/d, respectively.
Finer sediments carried from the Loup River and Elkhorn River watersheds to the eastern reach of the Platte River lowers the
vertical hydraulic conductivity of the streambed. Correlation coefficients between water depth and K
v
values along a test transect indicates a positive correlation – a larger K
v
usually occurs in the part of channel with deeper water. Experimental variograms derived from the vertical hydraulic conductivities
for several transects across the channels of the Platte River show periodicity of spatial correlation, which likely result
from periodic variation of water depth across the channels. The sandy to gravelly streambed contains very local silt and clay
layers; spatially continuous low-permeability streambed was not observed in the river channels. The horizontal hydraulic conductivities
were larger than the vertical hydraulic conductivities for the same test locations. 相似文献

Irrigation by benthic macrofauna has a major influence on the biogeochemistry and microbial community structure of sediments. Existing quantitative models of bioirrigation rely primarily on chemical, rather than ecological, information and the depth-dependence of bioirrigation intensity is either imposed or constrained through a data fitting procedure. In this study, stochastic simulations of 3D burrow networks are used to calculate mean densities, volumes and wall surface areas of burrows, as well as their variabilities, as a function of sediment depth. Burrow networks of the following model organisms are considered: the polychaete worms Nereis diversicolor and Schizocardium sp., the shrimp Callianassa subterranea, the echiuran worm Maxmuelleria lankesteri, the fiddler crabs Uca minax, U. pugnax and U. pugilator, and the mud crabs Sesarma reticulatum and Eurytium limosum. Consortia of these model organisms are then used to predict burrow networks in a shallow water carbonate sediment at Dry Tortugas, FL, and in two intertidal saltmarsh sites at Sapelo Island, GA. Solute-specific nonlocal bioirrigation coefficients are calculated from the depth-dependent burrow surface areas and the radial diffusive length scale around the burrows. Bioirrigation coefficients for sulfate obtained from network simulations, with the diffusive length scales constrained by sulfate reduction rate profiles, agree with independent estimates of bioirrigation coefficients based on pore water chemistry. Bioirrigation coefficients for O2 derived from the stochastic model, with the diffusion length scales constrained by O2 microprofiles measured at the sediment/water interface, are larger than irrigation coefficients based on vertical pore water chemical profiles. This reflects, in part, the rapid attenuation with depth of the O2 concentration within the burrows, which reduces the driving force for chemical transfer across the burrow walls. Correction for the depletion of O2 in the burrows results in closer agreement between stochastically-derived and chemically-derived irrigation coefficient profiles. 相似文献

The calcium cycle, in particular carbonate dissolution, was analyzed in two deep eutrophic lakes, Lago di Lugano (288 m maximum depth) and Sempachersee (87 m) located in Switzerland. A box model approach was used to calculate calcite dissolution in the water column and at the sediment-water interface based on various lake monitoring data such as sediment traps, sediment cores, water and pore-water analysis. A model for stationary conditions allowing the calculation of calcite dissolution in the water column for a given particle size distribution was developed. The relative values of the simulated flux were consistent with sediment trap observations. The best fit of the dissolution rate constant of sinking calcite in Lago di Lugano was on the same order of magnitude (3 · 10−10 kg1/3 s−1) as published laboratory values for this surface controlled process.Both lakes show a similar specific calcite precipitation rate of 170 g Ca m−2 a−1. The diffusive flux across the sediment-water interface amounts to about 15 and 10% of total calcite precipitation in Sempachersee and Lago di Lugano, respectively. However, 61% of the precipitated calcite is dissolved in the water column of Lago di Lugano compared to only 13% in Sempachersee. These results point towards the importance of grain size distributions and settling times in stratified deep waters as the two most important factors determining calcite retention in sediments of hard water lakes. 相似文献

Installation of a vertical slurry wall around an Italian quarry lake: complications arising and simulation of the effects on groundwater flow 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Slurry walls are non-structural barriers that are constructed underground to impede groundwater flow or manage groundwater
control problems. The study area is in the Piemonte plain (Italy), close to the River Po. Quarrying works carried out below
the piezometric surface created two big quarry lakes. The local groundwater system is characterized by a lower semi-confined
aquifer, which is overlain by a semi-permeable bed of clayey peat (aquitard) and an upper unconfined aquifer. Locally, the
peat fades away and the granulometry of this horizon becomes silty sandy. A planned enlargement of the quarry will increase
the size and depth of the quarry lakes. So the aquitard bed between the two aquifers will be damaged, creating a mixing rate
of groundwater. Such a procedure would not be compatible with the presence of two municipal wells upstream from the quarries.
Consequently, the installation of a vertical diaphragm (slurry wall) is recommended to separate the aquifers and to act as
a filter for the groundwater flowing from the unconfined to the semi-confined aquifer. To predict the consequences caused
by the installation of the vertical diaphragm separating the unconfined aquifer and the semi-confined one, a specifically
adjusted finite-difference model was used. The model showed a maximum rising of the water table equal to 12 cm, just upstream
of the diaphragm and for a distance of about 100 m, and a maximum lowering of 2 cm just downstream of the diaphragm. However,
the slurry wall would not cause any change in the piezometric head in the area where there are municipal wells and, hence,
will not have any negative effect on the functionality of the municipal wells. Moreover, the migration of water from the unconfined
aquifer through the vertical diaphragm will stimulate a series of attenuation and auto-depuration processes of eventual contaminants.
These processes are due to the higher crossing time that the groundwater flow takes to go through the vertical barrier (t
a = 96.5 days, whereas for the horizontal semi-permeable layer t
a = 9.6 days). So, the vertical diaphragm can be a resolutive element, representing a mediation and separation factor between
the unconfined and the semi-confined aquifers along the border of the quarrying areas, and a protective barrier for the water
quality of the quarry lake and the semi-confined aquifer. 相似文献

Metabolic effects on stable carbon isotopic composition of freshwater bivalve shell Corbicula fluminea 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The stable isotopic composition of the bivalve shell has been widely used to reconstruct the pa-laeo-climate and palaeo-environment. The climatic and environmental significance of carbon isotopic composition of the bivalve shell is still in dispute, and incorporation of metabolic carbon can obscure carbon isotope records of dis-solved inorganic carbon. This study deals with freshwater bivalve, Corbicula fluminea aragonite shell. The results indicated that the δ13C values of bivalve shells deposited out of equilibrium with the host water and showed an onto-genic decrease, indicating that there are metabolic effects and more metabolic carbon is incorporated into larger shells. The proportion of metabolic carbon of shells varies between 19.8% and 26.8%. However, δ13CS can still be used as qualitative indicators of δ13CDIC and environmental processes that occurred during shell growth. 相似文献

如何正确计算沉井的下沉阻力一直是沉井结构设计的难点,为了更加深入地研究沉井下沉阻力及其分布规律,通过离心机模型试验分别对4组不同埋深工况下的沉井进行了下沉模拟,对沉井侧壁土压力、刃脚斜面土压力、刃脚踏面土压力、沉井内外土面沉降进行了分析。研究结果表明：侧壁土压力随入土深度的增加呈先增大后减小的趋势,可采用分段函数形式对其大小及分布形式进行简化计算;刃脚斜面土压力呈三次多项式分布形式;随着刃脚入土深度的增加,刃脚斜面与踏面土阻力均显著增大,而单位投影宽度刃脚斜面与踏面土阻力比基本保持不变;沉井下沉会导致井外土面沉降,井内紧靠沉井内壁的土面沉降,离沉井内壁有一定距离的土面隆起。上述试验与分析成果可为理论研究与工程设计提供参考。 相似文献

为了研究三维壁面紊动射流前方布置的垂直挡板对时均流动特性的影响,采用粒子图像测速技术对不同雷诺数和淹没水深条件下的流速场进行了测量,统计分析了U速度剖面分布、速度半宽值变化和最大速度衰减规律。结果表明:沿射流方向具有3个明显不同的衰减区,依次划分为自由边界下的三维壁面射流区（Ⅰ区）、垂直挡板影响区（Ⅱ区）和近壁区（Ⅲ区）。在重点分析的Ⅱ区内,3个特征物理量的分布规律均与雷诺数无关;在垂直挡板影响下,速度半宽值扩展率明显加快,发展更为充分;在水深H~1.75H范围内,射孔中垂面内速度半宽值扩展率为0.043,同时0.5H的递增对射孔中心水平面内速度半宽值的分布较为敏感,其扩展率由0.205增至0.270;最大速度衰减对水深的改变并不敏感,且在Ⅱ区加速衰减,衰减指数为1.095。通过与半无限空间中三维壁面射流径向型衰减区的流动特征比较,Ⅱ区与之相似,将Ⅱ区视为提前进入径向型衰减区。 相似文献
