A model of the diagenetic evolution of coaly sedimentary organic matter     

Jean-Paul Boudou  Régis Pelet  René Letolle 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1984,48(6):1357-1362

Elemental composition was used to calculate the amounts of compounds produced during the diagenetic evolution of a coal series from the Mahakam delta (Kalimantan, Indonesia). These calculations were based on the following hypotheses: organic nitrogen does not take part in reactions and remains unchanged in the residual organic matter, the only compounds produced are water, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons.This approach shows that carbon loss during diagenesis is mainly as CO₂, and hydrogen loss is mainly as H₂O. Hydrocarbon production is negligible, in accordance with absence of bacterial methane accumulations in the Mahakam delta.The δ¹³C of coals in the sequence becomes about 2 per mil more positive over the diagenetic depth range of coal evolution. Accounting for the coal δ¹³C change in terms of CO₂ loss requires that the CO₂ given off have δ¹³C of about ?40%.. Such negative CO₂ has not been observed in natural systems, except when CH₄ is undergoing oxidation. Several plausible causes for this effect are discussed.  相似文献   

Diagenetic trends of a tertiary low-rank coal series     

Jean-Paul Boudou  Bernard Durand  Jean-Louis Oudin 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1984,48(10):2005-2010

The Mahakam delta (Kalimantan, Indonesia) coals represent all the evolution stages between freshly-deposited plant/peat material, lignites and bituminous coals. The geochemical techniques used to study this coal series included elemental analysis, extraction of humic compounds, infrared spectroscopy and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance of the total coal.The main mechanisms of early maturation in this series are loss of oxygenated compounds, aromatisation and condensation of the organic matter. These changes, which have already been suggested for other coal series and partially reported for sedimentary organic matter, were confirmed and described in more detail for the Mahakam coal series.  相似文献   

Modelling the Mixing Function to Constrain Coseismic Hydrochemical Effects: An Example from the French Pyrénées

Groundwater coseismic transient anomalies are evidenced and characterized by modelling the mixing function F characteristic of the groundwater dynamics in the Ogeu (western French Pyrénées) seismic context. Investigations of water-rock interactions at Ogeu indicate that these mineral waters from sedimentary environments result from the mixing of deep waters with evaporitic signature with surficial karstic waters. A 3-year hydrochemical monitoring of Ogeu springwater evidences that using arbitrary thresholds constituted by the mean ± 1 or 2σ, as often performed in such studies, is not a suitable approach to characterize transient anomalies. Instead, we have used a mixing function F calculated with chemical elements, which display a conservative behavior not controlled by the precipitation of a mineral phase. F is processed with seismic energy release (E_s) and effective rainfalls (R). Linear impulse responses of F to E_s and R have been calculated. Rapid responses (10 days) to rainwater inputs are evidenced, consisting in the recharge of the shallow karstic reservoir by fresh water. Complex impulse response of F to microseismic activity is also evidenced. It consists in a 2-phase hydrologic signal, with an inflow of saline water in the shallow reservoir with a response delay of 10 days, followed by an inflow of karstic water with a response delay of 70 days, the amount being higher than the saline inflow. Such a process probably results from changes in volumetric strain with subsequent microfracturation transient episodes allowing short inflow of deep salted water in the aquifer. This study demonstrates that groundwater systems in such environments are unstable systems that are highly sensitive to both rainfall inputs and microseismic activity. Impulse responses calculation of F to E_s is shown to be a powerful tool to identify transient anomalies. Similar processing is suggested to be potentially efficient to detect precursors of earthquakes when long time-series (5 years at least) are available in areas with high seismicity.  相似文献

Variability of the Gravity-to-Height Ratio Due to Surface Loads     

Caroline de Linage  Jacques Hinderer  Jean-Paul Boy 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2009,166(8-9):1217-1245

We study the ratio between the gravity variation and vertical displacement on the surface of a self-gravitating earth model when a surface load is applied. We adopt a theoretical and numerical point of view, excluding any observations. First, we investigate the spectral behavior of the ratio of the harmonic components of the gravity variation and vertical displacement. Then, we model the gravity-to-height ratio for different surface loads (continental hydrology, atmospheric pressure, ocean tides) using outputs of global numerical models in order to relate the predicted spatial values to theoretical mean values deduced from the spectral domain. For locations inside loaded areas, the ratio is highly variable because of the Newtonian attraction of the local masses and depends on the size of the load. For the hydrological loading (soil moisture and snow), the mean ratio over the continents is  ?0.87 μGal mm^?1, but increases with decreasing size of the river basins. For the atmospheric loading, assuming an inverted-barometer response of the ocean, the ratio is positive, with larger values for high latitudes (0.49 μGal mm^?1)—particularly on the coasts—than for lower latitudes (0.30 μGal mm^?1). The ratio, however, is much less variable outside the loaded areas: in desert areas such as the Sahara and Arabia, its mean value is  ?0.28 μGal mm^?1. For the ocean tidal loading, we find a mean ratio of  ?0.26 μGal mm^?1 over the continents for the diurnal tidal waves. Both results are close to the theoretical mean value of  ?0.26 μGal mm^?1 combining elastic and remote attraction contributions.  相似文献

Geology and biostratigraphy of the Jurassic and lower cretaceous series to the north of the Lhasa Block (Tibet,China)

Abstract

— The Lhasa Block (s.l.) is bounded to the South by the Tertiary Yarlung Zangbo suture zone and to the North by the terminal Jurassic/earliest Cretaceous Bangong Nu Jiang suture zone. Several tectonostratigraphic units have been recognized in the central-northern part of the Lhasa Block. These are from bottom to top : 1) a thick turbiditic series with a few lenses of allodapic limestones which have yielded an Aalenian — Bajocian foraminiferal assemblage. This series is tectonieally overlain by the Donqiao ophiolite; 2) the continental to shallow marine late Malm to lowermost Cretaceous Zigetang Formation which disconformably overlies the Donqiao ophiolite and 3) continental red detrital rocks or marine Early/Late Aptian boundary to Early Albian foraminifera-rich bedded limestones in which some volcanic rocks are locally interbedded.

We discuss the palaeogeographical distribution and biostratigraphical meaning of some foraminifera (Gutnicella cayeuxi (LUCAS), Palorbitolina fen<ícu/o?(Bl .LMKNBACIl), Praeorbitolina cormyi SCHROEDER and Palor-bilolmoides hedini CHREREHI and ScilKOKDK.lt) and their bearing on the radiometric age of the Aptian-Albian boundary.  相似文献   

Multimodal accessibility modeling from coarse transportation networks in Africa     

Jean-Paul Kibambe Lubamba  Julien Radoux  Pierre Defourny 《International journal of geographical information science》2013,27(5):1005-1022

Accessibility is a key driving factor for economic development, social welfare, resources management, and land use planning. In many studies, modeling accessibility relies on proxy variables such as estimated travel time to selected destinations. In developing countries, estimating the travel time is hindered by scarce information about the transportation network, making it necessary to take into account off-network travel coupled with considerations of multimodal options available within the existing network. This research proposes such a hybrid approach that computes the travel time to selected destinations by optimizing together a fully modeled multimodal network and off-network travel. The model was applied in a region around Kisangani located in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Travel times to Kisangani from the hybrid approach were found to be in close agreement with field-based information (R ² = 0.98). The developed approach also proved to better support real-world transportation constraints (such as transfer points between travel modes or barriers) than cost-distance-based travel-time modeling. Demonstration results from the hybrid approach highlight the potential for impact assessment of road construction or rehabilitation, development of secondary towns or markets, and for land use planning in general.  相似文献
