Early Palaeozoic deep subduction of continental crust in the Kyrgyz North Tianshan: evidence from Lu–Hf garnet geochronology and petrology of mafic dikes

High-pressure and ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) eclogite-bearing metamorphic assemblages in the North Tianshan of Kyrgyzstan are known from the Aktyuz and Makbal areas, where eclogites and garnet amphibolites are associated with continental rocks such as granitoid gneisses in Aktyuz and shallow-water clastic (passive margin?) metasediments in Makbal. We present the first Lu–Hf isotope data for an eclogite and two garnet amphibolite samples from the two metamorphic terranes which, combined with petrological analysis, tightly constrain the age of high-pressure metamorphism in the Kyrgyz North Tianshan. A five-point isochron for an Aktyuz eclogite sample provides a Lu–Hf age of 474.3 ± 2.2 Ma, and a four-point isochron on a Makbal sample corresponds to 470.1 ± 2.5 Ma. A prograde, subduction-related path is inferred for both samples with peak P–T conditions ranging from 1.4 to 1.6 GPa and 610–620 °C. A further Makbal sample provided a significantly older Lu–Hf age of 486 ± 5.4 Ma, most likely due to late alteration in the sample (late addition of unradiogenic Hf). We conclude that garnet growth in all three samples occurred around ca. 474 Ma and that these rocks likely experienced UHP metamorphism contemporaneously. Our results support previous geochronological evidence for an Early Ordovician collision belt in the North Tianshan and allow refinement of a tectonic model involving subduction of thinned continental crust to considerable depth along the margin of a small microcontinent.  相似文献   

Platinum-group element distribution in base-metal sulfides of the Merensky Reef from the eastern and western Bushveld Complex, South Africa     

Inga Osbahr  Reiner Klemd  Thomas Oberthür  Helene Brätz  Robert Schouwstra 《Mineralium Deposita》2013,48(2):211-232

Base-metal sulfides in magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE deposits are important carriers of platinum-group elements (PGE). The distribution and concentrations of PGE in pentlandite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite were determined in samples from the mineralized portion of four Merensky Reef intersections from the eastern and western Bushveld Complex. Electron microprobe analysis was used for major elements, and in situ laser ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) for trace elements (PGE, Ag, and Au). Whole rock trace element analyses were performed on representative samples to obtain mineralogical balances. In Merensky Reef samples from the western Bushveld, both Pt and Pd are mainly concentrated in the upper chromitite stringer and its immediate vicinity. Samples from the eastern Bushveld reveal more complex distribution patterns. In situ LA-ICP-MS analyses of PGE in sulfides reveal that pentlandite carries distinctly elevated PGE contents, whereas pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite only contain very low PGE concentrations. Pentlandite is the principal host of Pd and Rh in the ores. Palladium and Rh concentrations in pentlandite reach up to 700 and 130 ppm, respectively, in the samples from the eastern Bushveld, and up to 1,750 ppm Pd and up to 1,000 ppm Rh in samples from the western Bushveld. Only traces of Pt are present in the base-metal sulfides (BMS). Pyrrhotite contains significant though generally low amounts of Ru, Os, and Ir, but hardly any Pd or Rh. Chalcopyrite contains most of the Ag but carries only extremely low PGE concentrations. Mass balance calculations performed on the Merensky Reef samples reveal that in general, pentlandite in the feldspathic pyroxenite and the pegmatoidal feldspathic pyroxenite hosts up to 100 % of the Pd and Rh and smaller amounts (10–40 %) of the Os, Ir, and Ru. Chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite usually contain less than 10 % of the whole rock PGE. The remaining PGE concentrations, and especially most of the Pt (up to 100 %), are present in the form of discrete platinum-group minerals such as cooperite/braggite, sperrylite, moncheite, and isoferroplatinum. Distribution patterns of whole rock Cu, Ni, and S versus whole rock Pd and Pt show commonly distinct offsets. The general sequence of “offset patterns” of PGE and BMS maxima, in the order from bottom to top, is Pd in pentlandite?→?Pd in whole rock?→?(Cu, Ni, and S). The relationship is not that straightforward in general; some of the reef sequences studied only partially show similar trends or are more complex. In general, however, the highest Pd concentrations in pentlandite appear to be related to the earliest, volumetrically rather small sulfide liquids at the base of the Merensky Reef sequence. A possible explanation for the offset patterns may be Rayleigh fractionation.  相似文献   

Low-temperature opal-CT precipitation in Antarctic deep-sea sediments: evidence from oxygen isotopes     

Reiner Botz  Gerhard Bohrmann   《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1991,107(3-4)

Porcellanite has been found in Antarctic deep-sea sediments of shallow burial depth at four different sites in host sediments younger than 4 Ma. Oxygen isotope analysis shows that the opal-CT samples are extremely rich in¹⁸O (δ¹⁸O= 41.2to44.7‰ rel. SMOW). According to the quartz/water fractionation the calculated isotopic opal-CT formation temperature is in the range of 0 to 4°C. This agrees well with sediment temperature measurements. The low opal-CT precipitation temperature contrasts with current ideas about later diagenetic formation of opal-CT at higher temperatures of 18 to 56°C.  相似文献   

Food webs and carbon flux in the Barents Sea   总被引：6，自引：3，他引：6  

Paul Wassmann  Marit Reigstad  Tore Haug  Bert Rudels  Michael L. Carroll  Haakon Hop  Geir Wing Gabrielsen  Stig Falk-Petersen  Stanislav G. Denisenko  Elena Arashkevich  Dag Slagstad  Olga Pavlova 《Progress in Oceanography》2006,71(2-4):232

Within the framework of the physical forcing, we describe and quantify the key ecosystem components and basic food web structure of the Barents Sea. Emphasis is given to the energy flow through the ecosystem from an end-to-end perspective, i.e. from bacteria, through phytoplankton and zooplankton to fish, mammals and birds. Primary production in the Barents is on average 93 g C m⁻² y⁻¹, but interannually highly variable (±19%), responding to climate variability and change (e.g. variations in Atlantic Water inflow, the position of the ice edge and low-pressure pathways). The traditional focus upon large phytoplankton cells in polar regions seems less adequate in the Barents, as the cell carbon in the pelagic is most often dominated by small cells that are entangled in an efficient microbial loop that appears to be well coupled to the grazing food web. Primary production in the ice-covered waters of the Barents is clearly dominated by planktonic algae and the supply of ice biota by local production or advection is small. The pelagic–benthic coupling is strong, in particular in the marginal ice zone. In total 80% of the harvestable production is channelled through the deep-water communities and benthos. 19% of the harvestable production is grazed by the dominating copepods Calanus finmarchicus and C. glacialis in Atlantic or Arctic Water, respectively. These two species, in addition to capelin (Mallotus villosus) and herring (Clupea harengus), are the keystone organisms in the Barents that create the basis for the rich assemblage of higher trophic level organisms, facilitating one of the worlds largest fisheries (capelin, cod, shrimps, seals and whales). Less than 1% of the harvestable production is channelled through the most dominating higher trophic levels such as cod, harp seals, minke whales and sea birds. Atlantic cod, seals, whales, birds and man compete for harvestable energy with similar shares. Climate variability and change, differences in recruitment, variable resource availability, harvesting restrictions and management schemes will influence the resource exploitation between these competitors, that basically depend upon the efficient energy transfer from primary production to highly successful, lipid-rich zooplankton and pelagic fishes.  相似文献   

Total waterborne carbon export and DOC composition from ten nested subarctic peatland catchments—importance of peatland cover,groundwater influence,and inter‐annual variability of precipitation patterns     

David Olefeldt  Nigel Roulet  Reiner Giesler  Andreas Persson 《水文研究》2013,27(16):2280-2294

Waterborne carbon (C) export from terrestrial ecosystems is a potentially important flux for the net catchment C balance and links the biogeochemical C cycling of terrestrial ecosystems to their downstream aquatic ecosystems. We have monitored hydrology and stream chemistry over 3 years in ten nested catchments (0.6–15.1 km²) with variable peatland cover (0%–22%) and groundwater influence in subarctic Sweden. Total waterborne C export, including dissolved and particulate organic carbon (DOC and POC) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), ranged between 2.8 and 7.3 g m^–2 year^–1, representing ~10%–30% of catchment net ecosystem exchange of CO₂. Several characteristics of catchment waterborne C export were affected by interacting effects of peatland cover and groundwater influence, including magnitude and timing, partitioning into DOC, POC, and DIC and chemical composition of the exported DOC. Waterborne C export was greater during the wetter years, equivalent to an average change in export of ~2 g m^–2 year^–1 per 100 mm of precipitation. Wetter years led to a greater relative increase in DIC export than DOC export due to an inferred relative shift in dominance from shallow organic flow pathways to groundwater sources. Indices of DOC composition (SUVA₂₅₄ and a₂₅₀/a₃₆₅) indicated that DOC aromaticity and average molecular weight increased with catchment peatland cover and decreased with increased groundwater influence. Our results provide examples on how waterborne C export and DOC composition might be affected by climate change. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Circular Polarization Observed in Interplanetary Type III Radio Storms     

M. J. Reiner  J. Fainberg  M. L. Kaiser  J.-L. Bougeret 《Solar physics》2007,241(2):351-370

We report the detection and analysis of circular polarization in solar type III radio storms at hectometric-to-kilometric wavelengths. We find that a small (usually less than 5%), but statistically significant, degree of circular polarization is present in all interplanetary type III radio storms below 1 MHz. The sense of the polarization, which is right-hand circular for some storms and left-hand circular for others, is maintained for the entire duration of the type III storm (usually many days). For a given storm, the degree of circular polarization peaks near central meridian crossing of the associated active region. At a given time, the degree of circular polarization is found to generally vary as the logarithm of the observing frequency. The radiation characteristics, including the polarization, for one interplanetary type III storm exhibits an unusual 1.6 hour oscillation. Based on the standard plasma emission theory of type III radiation, we discuss the implications of these observations for the magnitude and radial dependence of the solar magnetic field above active regions on the Sun.  相似文献

The drivers of Chinese CO₂ emissions from 1980 to 2030   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Dabo Guan  Klaus Hubacek  Christopher L. Weber  Glen P. Peters  David M. Reiner   《Global Environmental Change》2008,18(4):626

China's energy consumption doubled within the first 25 years of economic reforms initiated at the end of the 1970s, and doubled again in the past 5 years. It has resulted of a threefold CO₂ emissions increase since early of 1980s. China's heavy reliance on coal will make it the largest emitter of CO₂ in the world. By combining structural decomposition and input–output analysis we seek to assess the driving forces of China's CO₂ emissions from 1980 to 2030. In our reference scenario, production-related CO₂ emissions will increase another three times by 2030. Household consumption, capital investment and growth in exports will largely drive the increase in CO₂ emissions. Efficiency gains will be partially offset the projected increases in consumption, but our scenarios show that this will not be sufficient if China's consumption patterns converge to current US levels. Relying on efficiency improvements alone will not stabilize China's future emissions. Our scenarios show that even extremely optimistic assumptions of widespread installation of carbon dioxide capture and storage will only slow the increase in CO₂ emissions.  相似文献

Untersuchungen der Tektonik der Hunsrückrandstörungszone zwischen Münster-Sarmsheim und Kirn an der Nahe     

Dr. Reiner Werner Heil Dipl.-Geologe 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1979,68(2):721-747

Zusammenfassung Der NW-Flügel der Nahe-Mulde wird durch die Hunsrücksüdrandstörungszone geprägt. Dieses Lineament erstreckt sich vom SE-Rand des Taunus über die Nahe- und Prims-Mulde und das Saargebiet bis nach Frankreich, wo es in die Metzer Störung übergeht. Im Arbeitsgebiet reicht die Verwerfung in große Tiefen hinab und verwirft noch die Moho.Zwischen Münster-Sarmsheim und Argenschwang ist das Devon auf das Rotliegende aufgeschoben. Von Allenfeld an nach SW ändert sich der Charakter der Störungszone. Sie spaltet in zwei bzw. drei streichende Verwerfungen auf, wodurch die beschriebene Schollengliederung des Arbeitsgebietes entsteht.Die NW-Scholle lagert diskordant auf dem varistischen Gebirge mit einem Einfallen von max. 20° SE. Sie wird vom NW-Ast der Hunsrücksüdrandstörungszone nach SE begrenzt. Im Abschnitt Argenschwang/Hochstetten schlieBt sich eine Grabenscholle an. In ihr lagern sowohl Gesteine des Unter- wie des Oberrotliegenden. Im Abschnitt Hochstetten/Kirn trennt der NW-Ast der Hunsrücksüdrandstörungszone die NW-Scholle von der Zentralscholle, die relativ gehoben erscheint. SE der SE-Grabenrandverwerfung bzw. der Störung SE der Zentralscholle des Abschnittes Hochstetten/Kirn, folgt eine gefaltete Zone.Durch eine Störung getrennt, schlieBt sich nach SE eine Scholle an, auf der die Schichten zunächst mit 60° SE einfallen. In Richtung auf die Muldenachse der Nahe-Mulde biegen sie zu flacher Lagerung um. Der Bereich um Kirn ist durch die zahlreichen Magmatite geprägt, die in enger Verbindung zur Tektonik stehen.Eine tektonische Aktivität ist nach Ablagerung der Lebacher- bzw. der Tholeyer Gruppe möglich. Die Hauptbewegungsphase fällt in das Oberrotliegende. Es entfällt die Saalische Phase mit ihrer Diskordanz zwischen Unter- und Oberrotliegendem. Lokale Diskordanzen sind auf die Intrusionstektonik zurückzuführen. Die endgültige Ausgestaltung der Nahe-Mulde dürfte wahrend der Pfälzischen Phase der varistischen Gebirgsbildung erfolgt sein.Die Querstörungen sind jünger als alle streichenden Elemente. Teilweise haben sie tertiäres Alter. Zu dieser Zeit ist vermutlich die Aufschiebung des Devons auf das Rotliegende im Abschnitt Argenschwang/Hochstetten erfolgt. Rezente Bewegungen lassen sich bis in die heutige Zeit an Hand von Erdbeben nachweisen. Die Antwort nach der Ursache der tektonischen Bewegungen bleibt spekulativ. Bei der Größe dieses Lineaments muß man jedoch an eine Plattengrenze denken.

The NW-side of the Nahe-Mulde (tray) is characterized by a fault zone at the southern rim of the Hunsrück-mountains (= Hunsrücksüdrandstörungszone = HRS). This lineament extends from the SE-periphery of the Taunus-mountains over the Nahe-Mulde and the Prims-Mulde and the Saar-district up to France, where it passes into the Metz-disturbance. In this range the faulting reaches great depths and also faults the Moho.The treated part of the HRS between Münster-Sarmsheim and Kirn an der Nahe shows a division into three parts from NE to SW. Between Münster-Sarmsheim and Argenschwang the Devonian is faulted up onto the Rotliegendes (Lower Permian). Between Argenschwang and Allenfeld the character of the faulting zone changes. It is divided into two resp. three fault strikes by what the described block division of this range results.In the area Argenschwang/Hochstetten and Hochstetten/Kirn the NW-block is deposited discordantly on the variscan formation with a maximum dip of 20° SE. It is limited to the SE by the NW-branch of the HRS. Adjacent to this lies a grabenblock in the area Argenschwang/Hochstetten. There we find rocks of the Lower as of the Upper-Rotliegenden. In the area Hochstetten-Kirn, the NW-branch of the HRS divides the NW-block from the central block, which seems to be relatively emerged. A folded zone follows in the SE of the SE-marginal graben rim fault resp. of the disturbance in the SE of the central block of the area Hochstetten/Kirn. This zone is closely locked to the SE-branch of the HRS and does not reach beyond it in the NW. Another block is adjecant to this in the SE and divided from it by a disturbance. Next to it the layers dip 60° SE and bend to a flat bedding near the axis of the Nahe-Mulde. The area around Kirn is characterized by numerous magmatic rocks, closely connected to the tectonic structures.Already structured in the Carboniferous, the HRS first represents the dividing element between the sedimentation area of the Saar-Nahe-depression and the variscan mountains. In the Lower-Rotliegendes the sedimentation then reaches beyond the fault and the Permian material is deposited discordantly on the folded Devonian.A tectonic activity is possible after the deposition of the Lebacher-resp. the Tholeyergroup. The main movements however happened within the Oberrotliegendes. Here the today identifiable longitudinal disturbances with all their phenomenas as grahen genesis, folding and intrusions are formed. The Saalische Phase with its discordance between Unter- and Oberrotliegendem is inapplicable, because the last one is concordantly following. Local discordances are explained by intrusion tectonics.The final shopping of the Nahe-Mulde might be a result of the Pfälzische Phase of the variscian orogenesis.The crossfaults were later than all the longitudinal elements.In some cases they have tertiary age. At this time also the upfaulting of the Devonian on the Rotliegendes in the part Argenschwang/Hochstetten took place. Up to our time recent movements are provable on the basis of earthquakes. Considering the dimension of this lineament one however has to be thougth of a plate boundary. However, it remains to further investigations to show this with security.

Résumé Le côte NW de la dépression de la Nahe est marquée par la »Hunsrücksüdrandstörungszone«. Ce linéament s'étend du bord SE du Taunus, par la dépression de la Nahe et du Prims et le Saargebiet jusqu'en France, où il passe à la faille de Metz. Dans la région de ce travail, le rejet s'étend jusqu'aux grandes profondeurs et déplace encore la Moho.Pour le segment traité de la »Hunsrücksüdrandstörungszone« entre Münster-Sarmsheim et Kirn an der Nahe il en résulte une structure en trois sections du NE au SW. Entre Münster-Sarmsheim et Argenschwang le Dévonien est refoulé sur le Permien. A partir de Allenfeld et dans la direction SW, le caractère de la zone dérangée change. Elle se scinde en deux ou bien trois failles longitudinales, par lesquelles se forme la structure décrite du bloc de la région.Dans les segments Argenschwang/Hochstetten et Hochstetten/Kirn, le bloc NW étudiée repose d'une façon discordante sur le terrain varistique avec un pendage de 20° SE maximum. Il est limité dans la direction du SE par la branche NW de la »Hunsrücksüdrandstörungszone«. Dans le segment Argenschwang/Hochstetten se joint le massif affaissé. A l'intérieur de celui-ci, il y a, aussi bien des roches du »Unter«-que du »Oberrotliegendem«. Dans le segment Hochstetten/Kirn, la branche NW de la »Hunsrücksüdrandstörungszone« sépare le bloc-NW du bloc central qui se montre relativement élevé. Au SE la faille marginale SE du graben ou bien de la faille SE du bloc central du segment Hochstetten/Kirn, suit une zone plissée. Cette zone est liée très étroitement à la branche-SE de la »Hunsrücksüdrandstörungszone« et ne la sillit pas dans le NW. A la zone plissée et séparée par une faille, se joint un blov vers le SE, sur lequel les strates inclinent d'abord de 60°. Dans la direction de l'axe synclinal du Nahe-mulde, elles s'incurvent et prennent une faibel inclinaison. Le segment de Kirn est marqué de nombreuses magmatites qui sont en relation étroite avec la tectonique.Déjà structurée au carbonifêre, la »Hunsrücksüdrandstörungszone« représente 1'élément séparant l'aire sedimentaire de la Saar-Nahe-Senke et le terrain varistique. Dans le »Unterrotliegendem« la sédimentation s'entend au delá de la faille et la Permien repose en discordance.Une véritable activité tectonique est possible après la sédimentation du groupe Lebacher ou du groupe Tholeyer. La phase principale est cependant dans le »Oberrotliegende«. Ici se forment les failles longitudinales, aujoud'hui reconniassables, avec tous leurs phénomènes, comme formation de fosses tectoniques, plis et instrusions. La »Saalische« phase avec sa discordance entre »Unter«- et »Oberrotliegendem« échappe, parce que ce dernier est déposé de façon concordante sur les roches de base. On peut ramener les discordances locales à la tectonique de l'intrusion. La formation définitive pourrait avoir lieu pendant la »Pfälzische Phase« de l'orogénèse varistique.Les failles transversales sont plus jeunes que tous les éléments longitudinaux. Elles sont en partie d'âge sou-tertiare. Le lévement du Dévonien sur le Permien dans le segment Argenschwang/Hochstetten s'est vraissemblablement produit à cette époque. Des mouvements récents se laissent démontrer jusqu'à nos jours au moyen des tremblements de terre. La réponse a la cause des mouvements reste spéculative. Cependant, en voyant la grandeur de ce linéament, on doit penser à une limite de plaque. Cette réalité nécessiterait toute fois d'autres recherches.
