Deuterium-Gehalt in Alpenwässern     

Dr. Roland Eichler 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1967,56(1):876-881

Zusammenfassung Gewässer der Alpen und des Alpenvorlandes wurden auf ihre Wasserstoff-Isotopenzusammensetzung untersucht. Der Deuterium-Gehalt dieser Wässer weist ihrer Herkunft nach eine deutliche Abhängigkeit von der Höhenlage auf. Dadurch ist es möglich, einzelne Wässer bezüglich der mittleren Seehöhe ihrer Einzugsgebiete zu charakterisieren und u. U. den Anteil eines bestimmten Wassers am Gesamtvolumen eines Gewässers zu ermitteln.

Waters from the Alps and the foreland were investigated for their hydrogen isotopic composition. The deuterium-content of these waters shows a distinct dependence upon the altitude. It is therefore possible to characterize individual waters with respect to the altitude of their drainage area and under certain circumstances to determine the fraction of a particular water in the total volume e. g. of a river.

C-NMR, i.r. and fluorescence spectroscopic studies of the polymeric acids found in Black Trona Water from the Green River Basin     

J.F. Branthaver  Roland E. Barden 《Organic Geochemistry》1983,4(3-4)

A polymeric acid fraction has been isolated from Black Trona Water, a fossil water from the Green River Formation of Wyoming, by means of exhaustive dialysis. The polymeric acid is apparently of large molecular weight (>20,000) and constitutes 40–45% of the organic material in Black Trona Water from the DOE/LETC Black Water 1-A well. The fraction was investigated by means of ¹³C-NMR, FTIR, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Most of the carbon content is aliphatic (63%), with some aliphatic chains greater than 4 carbons in length. A substantial aromatic fraction exists consisting of condensed structures having 4–6 rings. The chemical nature of the polymeric acid fraction is compared to that of kerogen from the same formation.  相似文献   

Late Holocene sea-level changes and isostatic crustal movements in Atlantic Canada     

W. Roland Gehrels  Glenn A. Milne  Jason R. Kirby  R. Timothy Patterson  D.F.Daniel F. Belknap 《Quaternary International》2004,120(1):79

It has long been recognised that sea levels along the shores of Atlantic Canada have been rising rapidly during the Holocene in response to isostatic crustal movements. New sea-level data for the Bay of Fundy coast of southern New Brunswick (Little Dipper Harbour) and the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia (Chezzetcook Inlet) show that late Holocene average rates of sea-level rise in these areas have been 1.0 and 2.5 m per 1000 yr, respectively. Numerical model calculations suggest that the high rates of sea-level rise are due to crustal subsidence produced by the combined effects of Laurentide ice loading (forebulge collapse) and ocean loading of the Scotian shelf. Although ice loading is the dominant contributor to the regional sea-level pattern, ocean loading is also important, contributing up to 40% of the total crustal subsidence in some areas. Tide gauges record rates of sea-level rise during the 20^th century that are 0.7–1.9 mm/yr higher than late Holocene trends, with the highest residuals occurring in the Bay of Fundy.  相似文献   

Tracking Holocene environmental changes in an alpine lake sediment core: application of regional diatom calibration, geochemistry, and pollen     

Roland Schmidt  Christian Kamenik  Christina Kaiblinger  Markus Hetzel 《Journal of Paleolimnology》2004,32(2):177-196

Diatom abundances in the surface sediment samples of 41 mountain lakes in the central Austrian Alps (Niedere Tauern) were related to environmental variables using multi-variate techniques. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) revealed that the pH, date of autumn mixing (A _mix), mean August water temperature (T _Aug), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and relative water depth (Z _rel) made significant contributions to explain the diatom assemblage variation in the lakes of the training set. A weighted averaging partial least square regression and calibration model was used to establish Di-pH (R ² _boot= 0.72, RMSEP_boot= 0.131), and a thermistor measurements-based PLS model for A _mix (R ² _boot= 0.71, RMSEP_boot= 0.006 log₁₀ Julian days). The latter showed a better prediction than T _Aug, and was used in terms of climate change. These transfer functions, together with analyses of loss on ignition (LOI), the total carbon/nitrogen (C/N)-ratios, and selected pollen, were applied to an early to mid-Holocene (11.5–4 cal. ky BP) sediment core section from an Austrian Alpine treeline lake on crystalline bedrock. Additionally, passive sample scores in the CCA of the diatom training set were used to show trends in the variables DOC and Z _rel. During the early Holocene, diatoms indicative of increased pH, extended warm summers, and low water levels dominated. Between 10.2 and 7.6 cal. ky BP it was followed by diatom assemblages that indicated an increase in lake water depth and an earlier A _mix. The multi-proxy data suggest that the A _mix decline is the result of a series of snow-rich summer cool and wet climate fluctuations, which were divided by climate warming at ∼9 cal. ky BP. Increased A _mix, LOI and DOC, and the correspondent decline in the C/N-ratios, show subsequent climate warming between 7.3 and 6 cal. ky BP. The long-term trend in Di-pH indicates the impact of catchment-related processes during the early-Holocene, that were superimposed by climate.  相似文献   

Late Quaternary glacial and climate history of the Pamir Mountains derived from cosmogenic Be exposure ages     

Roland Zech  Uwe Abramowski  Pjotr Sosin  Wolfgang Zech 《Quaternary Research》2005,64(2):212-220

Moraines southwest of Lake Yashilkul, Pamir, Tajikistan, were dated using ¹⁰Be exposure ages of boulder surfaces. We found evidence for (1) an extensive glaciation ∼60,000 yr ago; (2) a less extensive glacial advance, which deposited a characteristic hummocky moraine lobe with exposure ages ranging from ∼11,000 to 47,000 yr, probably deposited at or before 47,000 yr ago; and (3) lateral moraines with exposure ages of ∼40,000 yr, 27,000 yr and 19,000 yr, respectively. Increasing aridity in the Pamir is most likely responsible for the progressively limited extent of the glaciers during the Late Pleistocene.  相似文献

An integrated study combining facies analysis, multiple group biostratigraphy, identification of depositional sequences and mapping has been conducted on the Miocene Molasse Basin of the external Alps (southeastern France). The filling of the basin is described as resulting from a succession of fluvial incisions subsequently filled during marine transgressions. The major incision is dated as Latest Burdigalian and the major transgression as Langhian. This revised interpretation of the Miocene physiographic evolution of the Molasse Basin implies a re-examination of previous stratigraphic correlations within the basin. To cite this article: D.

Lithospheric structure of the Tornquist Zone resolved by nonlinear P and S teleseismic tomography along the TOR array   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1  

Z. Hossein Shomali  Roland G. Roberts  Laust B. Pedersen  the TOR Working Group 《Tectonophysics》2006,416(1-4):133

The main aim of the TOR project is to study the lithospheric–asthenospheric boundary structure under the Sorgenfrei–Tornquist Zone, across northern Germany, Denmark and southern Sweden. Relative arrival-time residuals of teleseismic P and S phases from 51 earthquakes, recorded by 150 seismic stations along the TOR array, were used to delineate the transition zone in the studied area. The effects of crustal structures were investigated by correcting the teleseismic residuals for travel-time variations in the crust based on a 3D crustal model derived from other data. The inversion was carried out for S phases. The results were then compared with the corresponding P-wave models. As expected, the derived models show that the relatively old and cold Baltic Shield has higher velocity at depth than the younger lithosphere farther South. The models show two sharp and distinct increases in depth to velocities which are low compared to our reference model, as we move from South to North. The location and sharpness of these boundaries suggests that the features resolved are, at least partially, compositional in origin, presumably related to mantle depletion. A sharp and steep subcrustal boundary is found roughly coincident with the southern edge of Sweden. This is below where the edge of the Baltic Shield is usually placed, based on surface geological evidence (the Sorgenfrei–Tornquist Zone). Another less significant transition is recognised more or less beneath the Elbe-lineament. Relatively high d(V_p / V_s) ratios under the central part of the profile (Denmark) indicate relatively low S-velocity in an area where a gravity high supports the hypothesis of extensive mafic intrusions.  相似文献   

Physics of the Omori law: Inferences from interevent time distributions and pore pressure diffusion modeling     

Mattias Lindman  Bjrn Lund  Roland Roberts  Kristin Jonsdottir 《Tectonophysics》2006,424(3-4):209

Empirical laws and statistics of earthquakes are valuable as a basis for a better understanding of the earthquake cycle. In this paper we focus on the postseismic phase and the physics of aftershock sequences. Using interevent time distributions for a catalogue of Icelandic seismicity, we infer that the parameter C₂ in the Omori law, often considered to represent incomplete detection of aftershocks, is at least in part related to the physics of the earthquake process. We investigate the role of postseismic pore pressure diffusion after two Icelandic earthquakes on the rate of aftershocks and what we can infer about the physical meaning of C₂ from the diffusion process. Using the Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion we obtain a rate of triggered points in our diffusion model that agrees with the modified Omori law, with a value of C₂ that is consistent with data. Our pore pressure diffusion model suggests that C₂ is related to the process of reducing high pore pressure gradients existing across a fault zone at short times after a main shock.  相似文献   

Environmental changes in an alpine lake (Gossenköllesee, austria) over the last two centuries – the influence of air temperature on biological parameters     

Karin A. Koinig  Christian Kamenik  Roland Schmidt  Anna Agustí-Panareda  Peter Appleby  Andrea Lami  Miroslava Prazakova  Neil Rose  Øyvind A. Schnell  Richard Tessadri  Roy Thompson  Roland Psenner 《Journal of Paleolimnology》2002,28(1):147-160

Changes in microfossils (diatoms, chrysophytes, chironomids and cladocera remains), geochemistry and deposition of atmospheric pollutants have been investigated in the sediment records of the alpine lake Gossenköllesee (Tyrol, Austria) spanning the last two centuries. The sediment records were compared with seasonal and annual air temperature trends calculated for the elevation (2417 m a.s.l.) and the geographical position (47° 1346N, 11° 0051E) of the lake, and with precipitation records available since 1866 from Innsbruck. Temperature trends followed a 20–30 year oscillation between cold and warm periods. Regarding long-term changes, temperature trends showed a U-shaped trend between 1780 and 1950, followed by a steep increase since 1975.Physical, geochemical, and organic parameters were not controlled by air temperature. Among the biological records only diatoms and chrysophytes reacted to air temperature changes: the relative abundance of planktonic diatoms increased during warm periods and changes in mean annual alpine air temperature explained 36.5% of their variation. The relation between abundance of seasonal stomatocyst types and air temperature varied on two different time scales: while summer stomatocysts were influenced by short term temperature fluctuations, the autumn stomatocysts were affected only by the long term changes. Other biological parameters exhibited a constant species composition (chironomids, pigments) or changes were small and independent of temperature (cladocera). Spheroidal carbonaceous fly-ash particles, and trends in Pb and Cr indicated increasing deposition of atmospheric pollutants but had no detectable effects on the biological parameters either. In respect to temperature variations over the last 200 years, this alpine lake is much less sensitive than expected and has thus to be regarded as a well buffered site. However, temperature alone is not sufficient to understand changes in species composition and other biogeochemical processes with unknown historical patterns might have affected species composition more strongly.  相似文献

Since 1984, about 15000 high quality infrared solar spectra have beenrecorded with state-of-the-art grating and Fourier transform spectrometersat the International Scientific Station of the Jungfraujoch, Switzerland.Nonlinear least squares spectral curve fitting of selected microwindowscontaining isolated and well characterized lines of 20 telluric gases haveallowed to retrieve their total vertical column abundances above thestation, leading to observational data bases essential to derive long- andshort-term changes experienced by these species during the last 12 years. Inthis paper, we focus on atmospheric gases of particular interest within thecontext of the EUROTRAC/TOR (Tropospheric Ozone Research) project; secularevolution as well as seasonal cycles of the minor constituentsCH₄, CO and of the trace gasesC₂H₆, OCS, C₂H₂, HCNand H₂CO are reported and discussed. The long-livedN₂O is included as a tracer of the dynamic activity of theatmosphere.  相似文献
