The Moselle river flows in the north-east of France, from Vosges Mountains to neighboring countries Luxembourg and Germany. One of its tributaries, the Fensch river, drains a highly industrialized watershed, strongly impacted by mining, smelting and surfacing activities. The objective of this work, part of a general research program on Moselle watershed (Zone Atelier Moselle) was to assess the impact of the polluted Fensch river on the global quality of the Moselle river. For that purpose, water, sediments and suspended particulate matter were sampled in both rivers, upstream and downstream the junction. Four main sampling campaigns were carried out, in winter during a flood event and in spring at low water level. On a first step, mineralogical analyses (XRD and FTIR) and chemical analyses (ICP-MS, ICP-AES), were performed on sediments, suspended particulate matters and filtered waters. Major and trace elements concentrations were obtained on two different granulometric fractions (0–2 mm and 0–50 μm) revealing the enrichment in heavy metals of fine particles. From one collecting campaign to another, seasonal variations could be evidenced on suspended matter composition even though major minerals (calcite, quartz and kaolinite) were always present. Furthermore, spatial variations were evidenced for Fensch and Moselle downstream sediments. Thus, very fine-grained sediments, poorly crystallized, displaying at the same time higher metal concentrations and higher organic matter content than in Fensch river material, were collected downstream, in a low hydrodynamic conditions zone, assumed as a preferential sedimentary zone or even as a placer. Strong correlations could be revealed between iron content and contaminant concentrations, confirming the origin of polluted material.  相似文献   

Garnet reequilibration and growth in the eclogite facies and geodynamical evolution near peak metamorphic conditions     

Hugues Raimbourg  Bruno Goffé  Laurent Jolivet 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2007,153(1):1-28

Caledonian eclogite-facies metamorphism partially reworking Grenvillian granulite-facies anorthosite allows us to study the processes of garnet reequilibration at high pressure and to reconstruct the evolution of the unit near metamorphic peak conditions. Our results indicate that eclogite-facies metamorphism happened in two successive phases: first, inherited granulitic garnet was fractured and reequilibrated from their boundaries (crystal or fracture rims); then eclogite-facies minerals were crystallised in the fractures as overgrowths on inherited garnets. The reequilibration of inherited garnets is achieved through Fe²⁺Mg⁻¹ exchange, whereas eclogite-facies garnets crystallised during the subsequent phase are notably richer in Ca than un- and re-equilibrated granulitic garnet. Pseudosection construction shows that this lack in Ca reequilibration cannot be related to variations in thermodynamic conditions (a _H2O, reacting system composition) between the two phases. From the compilation of the available data, the reequilibration of granulitic garnet seems to be controlled by the inefficient intra- and inter-granular transport properties of Ca compared to Fe²⁺ and Mg. While these kinetic factors confine garnet reequilibration to Fe²⁺Mg⁻¹ exchange, the extent of reequilibration along this exchange vector is controlled by partitioning with adjacent omphacite. On the contrary to the diffusional reequilibration of granulitic garnet that lasted for several My according to our modelling of the diffusional relaxation, the strong compositional gradients between eclogite-facies and reequilibrated garnets, which are almost unaffected by diffusional reequilibration, provide evidence that rapid exhumation followed the crystallisation of eclogite-facies minerals. We propose that the movement reversal itself, from burial to exhumation, and associated deformation and fluid flow, triggered this crystallisation event. The resulting evolution near metamorphic peak conditions is therefore strongly asymmetrical: on the one hand, the prograde diffusional relaxation profiles indicate slow movement during the last stages of burial, whereas the unaffected retrograde overgrowth indicates fast exhumation rates.  相似文献   

EFFECTS OF RIVER NETWORK WORKS AND SOIL CONSERVATION MEASURES ON RESERVOIR SILTATION     

Bruno MOLINO Rosa VIPARELLI Annamaria DE VINCENZO 《国际泥沙研究》2007,22(4):273-281

Knowledge of the morphological dynamics of a water course is essential for management of reservoir siltation. With an example of sedimentation in a reservoir in Basilicata, Italy, this paper demonstrates the effect on reservoir siltation of the hydraulic works, which are aimed to reduce sediment transport along the fluvial network and to prevent part of the sediment discharge from reaching the lake. The effect depends on the river type and on the the geological features of river basin slopes. The paper also shows how mass erosion can significantly contribute to development of reservoir siltation. Finally, preliminary results are provided about the time needed for river training works to be effective.  相似文献   

Cancellation exponents and multifractal scaling laws in the solar wind magnetohydrodynamic turbulence   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

V. Carbone  R. Bruno 《Annales Geophysicae》1996,14(8):777-785

Some signed measures in turbulence are found to be sign-singular, that is their sign reverses continuously on arbitrary finer scales with a reduction of the cancellation between positive and negative contributions. The strength of the singularity is characterized by a scaling exponent , the cancellation exponent. In the present study by using some turbulent samples of the velocity field obtained from spacecraft measurements in the interplanetary medium, we show that sign-singularity is present everywhere in low-frequency turbulent samples. The cancellation exponent can be related to the characteristic scaling laws of turbulence. Differences in the values of , calculated in both high- and low-speed streams, allow us to outline some physical differences in the samples with different velocities.  相似文献   

Computer-assisted image analysis on clast shape fabric from the Orvieto-Bagnoregio ignimbrite (Vulsini District, central Italy): implications on the emplacement mechanisms     

Bruno Capaccioni  Damiano Sarocchi 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1996,70(1-2)

Computer-assisted Image Analysis can be succesfully used to derive quantitative information about grain-size distribution, particle shape and fabric on both consolidated and unconsolidated solid aggregates. We have developed a new analytical method that provides a series of quantitative textural parameters from whatever particulate deposits by combining commercial image acquisition system with devoted C-software. After exhaustive tests of the method, we applied it to a widespread Quaternary ignimbrite formation in central Italy (the Orvieto-Bagnoregio formation). The results suggest some new aspects of emplacement mechanisms of ignimbrites: (1) elongated particles shows variable degrees of flow-related preferred orientation both on horizontal and vertical planes; (2) vertical variations of flow-related preferred particle orientations follow a “zig-zag” pattern that we interpret to result from deposition by progressive aggradation during the passage of a particulate flow. The filling up of paleovalleys by means of progressive aggradation proceeds flank to flank due to alternating flow directions, induced by the already deposited material; (3) the occurrence of vertically spaced peaks on the strength of clast orientation suggests the existence of discrete depositional units deposited by aggradation from an unsteady but persisting flow. Strong fabrics are inferred to result from the high amount of shear stress imparted to particles at the depositional boundary layer, which at the same time can be responsible for the development of the basal inversely graded layer. Image analysis can also provide useful indications of paleoflow directions, paleotopographic details and ignimbrite source areas.  相似文献   

Qualitative and quantitative aspects of the evolution of the planktonic populations in Lake Lugano   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Bruno Polli  Marco Simona 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1992,54(3-4):303-320

This study is a summary of all available information on the long-term and on the more recent development of the planktonic populations in Lago di Lugano with regard to its trophic evolution. The first effects of the lake eutrophication became manifest beginning in the 1950's and brought to important changes in the planktonic community as the appearance and the rapid increase of the filamentous algaeOscillatoria rubescens andStephanodiscus hantzschii, and the disappearance of the zooplanktonic Diaptomidae. Since 1980 the phosphorus concentration began to decrease in lake's epilimnion and the planktonic community showed a new composition, evidencing the presence of others predominant species:Oscillatoria redekei, Lyngbya limnetica, Stephanodiscus sp. (little form). Since 1989 algal standing crop reduced its value below 2 g m^–2 (dry weight); furthermore a strong decrease of the Cyanophceae and the appearance of new predominant species (Tabellaria fenestrata, div. Ulotrichales) occurred. At the same time an increase of the herbivorous zooplankton (Daphnia hyalina) and the come-back of the Diaptomidae was observed. Only in the northern basin a decrease tendency of the primary production was observed, changing from 480 to about 300 g C m^–2 yr^–1 during the last 10 years.  相似文献

Pierre-Yves GILLOT  Yves CORNETTE  Nathalie MAX  Bruno FLORIS 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》1992,16(1):55-60

With the recent extension of K-Ar dating methods within the Upper Pleistocene time, the use of new standards is recommended to allow calibration and inter-laboratory comparisons. For this purpose, two pure microlitic groundmass reference materials were prepared from trachy-basaltic lavas: Trachyte (MDO-G) from Mont Dore, Puy de Sancy, Massif Central is around 250 000 years old; the second Trachyte (ISH-G) from the Isle of Ischia, Gulf of Naples (Italy), is historical: Arso flow erupted on Christmas 1301 - January 1302 AD.  相似文献   

Über Neue Ergebnisse Kleintektonischer Untersuchungen im Rheinischen Schiefergebirge     

Bruno Engels 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1959,48(1):271-280

Zusammenfassung Zunächst wird die offenbar überragende Bedeutung der Diagonal-Störungen in den untersuchten Dachschiefer-Gruben dargelegt. Es ergeben sich ferner sehr spitzwinklig zum tektonischen Streichen verlaufende Drehverschiebungen, die zur gleichartigen Verformung führen, wie auch die örtlich festgestellten Auf- und Überschiebungen sowie Schieferung und Faltung (gleiche Deformationsellipse). — Die Schieferung führt in extremen Fällen zu einer fast völligen Umschichtung (tektonische Mischung).In einem Querprofil des Faltenspiegels zwischen Hunsrück und SE-Eifel kommt besonders die Moselmulde (Form und Schichtmächtigkeiten) zur Darstellung.  相似文献   

Dendrochronologie     

Bruno Huber 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1960,49(1):120-131

Zusammenfassung Die Dendrochronologie arbeitet mit der Jahresschichtung des Holzes. Der Zuwachs gleichzeitig wachsender Hölzer ist ähnlich. Diese Forschungsrichtung braucht viel Material zur Herstellung typischer Mittelkurven. Mit Hilfe der Überbrückungsmethode kommt man örtlich sehr weit zurück. Schwierigkeiten liegen in der gesetzmäßigen Abnahme der Ähnlichkeit von Jahresringkurven mit der Entfernung voneinander. Neben einer absoluten Chronologie sind in Deutschland relative Chronologien aus Jungsteinzeit und Bronzezeit erarbeitet worden. Die Dendrochronologie kann gewisse Aussagen über Klimaschwankungen machen.  相似文献
