Oxygen utilization rates in the Nansen Basin, Arctic Ocean: implications for new production     

Yan Zheng  Peter Schlosser  James H. Swift  E.P. Jones 《Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers》1997,44(12):1923-1943

In situ consumption of oxygen is balanced by ventilation if the observed distribution of dissolved oxygen below the euphotic zone is in steady state. Apparent oxygen utilization rates (AOURs) can be estimated from the observed oxygen distribution if the waters of the upper layers can be dated. It has been shown previously that tritium/³ He ages can be used, together with observed oxygen concentrations, to estimate AOURs for waters with ages of several months to several decades. This method is applied to data obtained from the Nansen Basin, Arctic Ocean, during the 1987 cruise of F.S. Polarstern. New production is estimated by depth integration of AOURs calculated for several isopycnals to be 19±5 g C m⁻² year⁻¹ for the southern part and 3±2 g C m⁻² year⁻¹ for the northern part of the Nansen Basin section. The results are discussed and compared with previous estimates based on different methods.  相似文献

Looking beneath the Stawell and Bendigo zones in Victoria,Australia: a view through the granite window     

J. D. Clemens 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2020,67(2):175-200

Abstract

Information, mainly from the granitic and silicic volcanic rocks in the Stawell, Bendigo and Melbourne structural zones in the state of Victoria, shows that the sources of both the S- and I-type rocks of the Stawell and Bendigo zones (SBZ) contrast in ages and chemistry with the sources of similar granitic rocks in the Melbourne Zone, consistent with the absence of the mainly Proterozoic Selwyn Block beneath most of the SBZ. Below a mid-crustal décollement in the SBZ, the crust is evidently highly variable and possibly includes thinned Proterozoic crust. There is geochronological evidence for ca 400 and ca 370?Ma granulite-grade metamorphic events here, and, after this double bout of metamorphism, and depletion in the silicic melt component, the constituents of the entire deep crust of the SBZ would have densities similar to those of overlying, much lower-grade Cambrian metabasaltic to boninitic rocks. Thus, granitic magmas may have formed here by partial melting of a variety of rock types, probably with back-arc affinities, with ages that may extend back to the Proterozoic. Therefore, the basement of the SBZ is unlikely to consist solely of thick ocean-floor rocks, as in some current interpretations.

1. KEY POINTS

2. The sources of the Devonian granitic rocks of the Stawell and Bendigo zones (SBZ) contrast in ages and chemistry with those of the Melbourne Zone granites.

3. Two Devonian granulite-facies events left the melt-depleted deep SBZ crust with densities similar to those of overlying Cambrian metabasaltic rocks.

4. The SBZ Devonian granitic magmas probably formed by partial melting of heterogeneous Proterozoic to Cambrian arc-related crust, below the mid-crustal décollement.

Pb-concentrations and Pb-isotope ratios in soils collected along an east–west transect across the United States     

Clemens Reimann  David B. Smith  Laurel G. Woodruff  Belinda Flem 《Applied Geochemistry》2011,26(9-10):1623-1631

Analytical results for Pb-concentrations and isotopic ratios from ca. 150 samples of soil A horizon and ca. 145 samples of soil C horizon collected along a 4000-km east–west transect across the USA are presented. Lead concentrations along the transect show: (1) generally higher values in the soil A-horizon than the C-horizon (median 21 vs. 16.5 mg/kg), (2) an increase in the median value of the soil A-horizon for central to eastern USA (Missouri to Maryland) when compared to the western USA (California to Kansas) (median 26 vs. 20 mg/kg) and (3) a higher A/C ratio for the central to eastern USA (1.35 vs. 1.14). Lead isotopes show a distinct trend across the USA, with the highest ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb ratios occurring in the centre (Missouri, median A-horizon: 1.245; C-horizon: 1.251) and the lowest at both coasts (e.g., California, median A-horizon: 1.195; C-horizon: 1.216). The soil C-horizon samples show generally higher ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb ratios than the A-horizon (median C-horizon: 1.224; A-horizon: 1.219). The ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb-isotope ratios in the soil A horizon show a correlation with the total feldspar content for the same 2500-km portion of the transect from east-central Colorado to the Atlantic coast that shows steadily increasing precipitation. No such correlation exists in the soil C horizon. The data demonstrate the importance of climate and weathering on both Pb-concentration and ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb-isotope ratios in soil samples and natural shifts thereof in the soil profile during soil-forming processes.  相似文献   

Klimazeugen aus dem jüngsten Präkambrium und Unterkambrium in S-Marokko     

Dipl.-Geol. Clemens Marzela 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1981,70(2):473-479

Zusammenfassung In Gesteinen des jüngsten Präkambriums und Unterkambriums (mit einer Diskordanz nach dem pC III) sind im Antiatlas Marokkos wiederholt Anzeichen für eine Sedimentation bei warmem (semiarid bis arid) Klima zu finden. Klimaindikatoren sind Rotsedimente, CaSO₄- und NaCl-Pseudomorphosen sowie Sedimente vom Sabkha-Typ.Paläomagnetische Daten weisen zu dieser Zeit auf Südpolpositionen in diesem Gebiet hin.Vereisungsrelikte in Nachbargebieten entsprechen möglicherweise einer Sedimentationslücke nach dem pC III im Antiatlas.

In the Antiatlas region of Morocco rocks of Late-Precambrian and Lower-Cambrian age (with a discordance after the pC III) show evidence for sedimentation under warm (semiarid to arid) climate. Climate indicators are redbeds, sabkha-sediments and pseudomorphoses after CaSO₄ and NaCl.Paleomagnetic data showed that at this time southpole positions were distributed in this area.In nearby regions documents of glaciation are possibly correspondend with a time of non-sedimentation after the pC III in the Antiatlas.

Résumé Les roches du Précambrien supérieur et du Cambrien inférieur de l'Antiatlas du Maroc (avec une discordance après le pC III) présentent de nombreuses évidences d'une sédimentation sous des conditions climatiques chaudes (semiarides à arides). Les indicateurs climatiques sont des couches rouges, des sédiments de sabkha et des pseudomorphoses de CaSO₄ et NaCl.Les études paléomagnétiques démontrent que l'emplacement du pôle sud se trouvait à cette époque dans cette même région.Les restes de glaciation dans les régions voisines paraissent corréspondre à une periode de nonsédimentation après le pC III dans l'Antiatlas.

Transport in the Hudson estuary: A modeling study of estuarine circulation and tidal trapping     

Ferdi?L.?HellwegerEmail author  Alan?F.?Blumberg  Peter?Schlosser  David?T.?Ho  Theodore?Caplow  Upmanu?Lall  Honghai?Li 《Estuaries and Coasts》2004,27(3):527-538

The effects of estuarine circulation and tidal trapping on transport in the Hudson estuary were investigated by a large-scale, high-resolution numerical model simulation of a tracer release. The modeled and measured longitudinal profiles of surface tracer concentrations (plumes) differ from the ideal Gaussian shape in two ways: on a large scale the plume is asymmetric with the downstream end stretching out farther, and small-scale (1–2 km) peaks are present at the upstream and downstream ends of the plume. A number of diagnostic model simulations (e.g., remove freshwater flow) were performed to understand the processes responsible for these features. These simulations show that the large-scale asymmetry is related to salinity. The salt causes an estuarine circulation that decreases vertical mixing (vertical density gradient), increases longitudinal dispersion (increased vertical and lateral gradients in longitudinal velocities), and increases net downstream velocities in the surface layer. Since salinity intrusion is confined to the downstream end of the tracer plume, only that part of the plume is effected by those processes, which leads to the largescale asymmetry. The small-scale peaks are due to tidal trapping. Small embayments along the estuary trap water and tracer as the plume passes by in the main channel. When the plume in the main channel has passed, the tracer is released back to the main channel, causing a secondary peak in the longitudinal profile.  相似文献

Flow of river water into a karstic limestone aquifer—2. Dating the young fraction in groundwater mixtures in the Upper Floridan aquifer near Valdosta, Georgia     

L. N. Plummer  E. Busenberg  S. Drenkard  P. Schlosser  B. Ekwurzel  R. Weppernig  J. B. McConnell  R. L. Michel 《Applied Geochemistry》1998,13(8):1017-1043

Tritium/helium-3 (³H/³He) and chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs, CFC–11, CFC–12, CFC–113) data are used to date the young fraction in groundwater mixtures from a karstic limestone aquifer near Valdosta, Georgia, where regional paleowater in the Upper Floridan aquifer receives recharge from two young sources—the flow of Withlacoochee River water through sinkholes in the river bed, and leakage of infiltration water through post-Eocene semi-confining beds above the Upper Floridan aquifer. In dating the young fraction of mixtures using CFCs, it is necessary to reconstruct the CFC concentration that was in the young fraction prior to mixing. The ³H/³He age is independent of the extent of dilution with older (³H-free and ³He_trit-free) water. The groundwater mixtures are designated as Type-1 for mixtures of regional paleowater and regional infiltration water and Type-2 for mixtures containing more than approximately 4% of river water. The fractions of regional paleowater, regional infiltration water, and Withlacoochee River water in the groundwater mixtures were determined from Cl⁻ and δ¹⁸O data for water from the Upper Floridan aquifer at Valdosta, Georgia.The chlorofluorocarbons CFC–11 and CFC–113 are removed by microbial degradation and/or sorption processes in most anaerobic (Type-2) groundwater at Valdosta, but are present in some aerobic Type-1 water. CFC–12 persists in both SO₄-reducing and methanogenic water. The very low detection limits for CFCs (approximately 0.3 pg kg⁻¹) permitted CFC–11 and CFC–12 dating of the fraction of regional infiltration water in Type-1 mixtures, and CFC-12 dating of the river-water fraction in Type-2 mixtures. Overall, approximately 50% of the 85 water samples obtained from the Upper Floridan aquifer have CFC–12-based ages of the young fraction that are consistent with the ³H concentration of the groundwater. Because of uncertainties associated with very low ³H and ³He content in dilute mixtures, ³H/³He dating is limited to the river-water fraction in Type-2 mixtures containing more than about 10% river water. Of the 41 water samples measured for ³H/³He dating, dilution of ³H and low ³He concentration limited ³H/³He dating to 16 mixtures in which ³H/³He ages are defined with errors ranging from ±2 to ±7.5 a (1 σ). After correction for dilution with (assumed) CFC-free regional infiltration water and regional paleowater in the Upper Floridan aquifer, adjusted CFC–12 ages agree with ³H/³He ages within 5 a or less in 7 of the 9 co-dated Type-2 mixtures.Tritium data and dating based on both CFC–11 and CFC–12 in Type-1 mixtures indicate that travel times of infiltration water through the overlying Post-Eocene semi-confining beds exceed 35 a. The CFC and ³H/³He dating indicate that the river fraction in most groundwater entered the groundwater reservoir in the past 20 to 30 a. Few domestic and municipal supply wells sampled intercept water younger than 5 a. Calculated velocities of river water in the Upper Floridan aquifer downgradient of the sinkhole area range from 0.4 to 8.2 m/d. Radiocarbon data indicate that ages of the regional paleowater are on the 10 000-a time scale. An average lag time of approximately 10 to 25 a is determined for discharge of groundwater from the surficial and intermediate aquifers above the Upper Floridan aquifer to the Withlacoochee River.  相似文献   

Intrusion of igneous rocks — Physical aspects     

Prof. Dr. Horst J. Neugebauer  Dipl.-Geophys. Clemens Reuther 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1987,76(1):89-99

Igneous rocks occur in two predominant modes. The plutonic mode is characterized by intrusive emplacement under compressional tectonic stress regimes. The volcanic mode is dominated by the eruption of large volumes of magma through fault controlled dyke structures in extensional tectonic stress regimes.Those typical intrusive phenomena are discussed in the light of the physical parameters like the dynamic-thermal regime of the lithosphere, the nature and source of buoyant forces as well as mechanical aspects of subsolidus flow of rocks.Twodimensional numerical models on the basis of typical parameter specifications and by means of a coupled dynamic-thermal physical approximation are presented. The simulation of buoyantly-driven diapiric intrusions has been adopted to derive parameters which are critically controlling the transport and emplacement of intrusion under surroundings of variable viscosity. Both sill-type and batholith-type structures are presented and discussed with respect to their predominant dependence on mechanical and physical conditions.

Zusammenfassung Magmatische Gesteine treten in zwei vorherrschenden Erscheinungsformen auf. Die Plutonite sind charakterisiert durch eine intrusive Platznahme unter kompressiven tektonischen Spannungsbedingungen. Die Vulkanite werden beherrscht von gro\en Volumina eruptierten Magmas, das vorzugsweise durch weiträumige Bruchsysteme unter Zugspannungsbedingungen aufsteigt.Derartige magmatische Phänomene werden aus der Sicht physikalischer Parameter wie dynamisch-thermische Bedingungen der Lithosphäre, der Natur und des Ursprungs von Auftriebskräften sowie der Mechanik von Gesteinsformationen diskutiert.Es werden zweidimensionale numerische Modellrechnungen auf der Grundlage typischer Parameterbereiche vorgestellt. Die Rechnungen basieren auf einer dynamisch-thermischen Approximation von Flie\vorgängen. Sie werden eingesetzt zur Untersuchung von diapirartigen Intrusionsvorgängen, die durch Dichteinversionen angetrieben sind. Hierbei sollen die Parameter bestimmt werden, die Aufstieg und Platznahme der Intrusionen bestimmen. Die Umgebung ist charakterisiert durch eine vorgebbare variable Viskosität. Sowohl linsenförmige Sill-Strukturen als auch typische Batholith-Strukturen werden mathematisch simuliert. Ihr Zusammenhang mit den strukturbestimmenden Parametern wird aufgezeigt.

Résumé Les roches magmatiques se répartissent en deux catégories principales: la catégorie plutonique est caractérisée par une mise en place dans des régimes de contraintes tectoniques compressives; la catégorie volcanique est dominée par l'éruption de volumes importants de magma à travers des systèmes de cassures dans des régimes de contraintes tectoniques d'extension.Ces phénomènes intrusifs sont discutés à la lumière de paramètres physiques tels que: le régime thermique et dynamique de la lithosphère, la nature et l'origine des forces ascensionnelles, ainsi que les aspects mécaniques du fluage sub-solidus des roches.Les auteurs présentent des modèles numériques bidimensionnels basés sur des domaines paramétriques typiques, au moyen d'une approximation dynamo-thermique de phénomène d'écoulement. La simulation d'intrusions diapiriques permet de déduire les paramètres qui déterminent le transport et la mise en place d'une intrusion dans diverses conditions de viscosité de l'encaissant. Les structures de type sill et de type batholite sont discutées en relation avec les conditions mécaniques et physiques dont elles dépendent.
