The rocks of Mars,from far and near     

Harry Y. McSween 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2002,37(1):7-25

Abstract— The age, structure, composition, and petrogenesis of the martian lithosphere have been constrained by spacecraft imagery and remote sensing. How well do martian meteorites conform to expectations derived from this geologic context? Both data sets indicate a thick, extensive igneous crust formed very early in the planet's history. The composition of the ancient crust is predominantly basaltic, possibly andesitic in part, with sediments derived from volcanic rocks. Later plume eruptions produced igneous centers like Tharsis, the composition of which cannot be determined because of spectral obscuration by dust. Martian meteorites (except Allan Hills 84001) are inferred to have come from volcanic flows in Tharsis or Elysium, and thus are not petrologically representative of most of the martian surface. Remote‐sensing measurements cannot verify the fractional crystallization and assimilation that have been documented in meteorites, but subsurface magmatic processes are consistent with orbital imagery indicating thick crust and large, complex magma chambers beneath Tharsis volcanoes. Meteorite ejection ages are difficult to reconcile with plausible impact histories for Mars, and oversampling of young terrains suggests either that only coherent igneous rocks can survive the ejection process or that older surfaces cannot transmit the required shock waves. The mean density and moment of inertia calculated from spacecraft data are roughly consistent with the proportions and compositions of mantle and core estimated from martian meteorites. Thermal models predicting the absence of crustal recycling, and the chronology of the planetary magnetic field agree with conclusions from radiogenic isotopes and paleomagnetism in martian meteorites. However, lack of vigorous mantle convection, as inferred from meteorite geochemistry, seems inconsistent with their derivation from the Tharsis or Elysium plumes. Geological and meteoritic data provide conflicting information on the planet's volatile inventory and degassing history, but are apparently being reconciled in favor of a periodically wet Mars. Spacecraft measurements suggesting that rocks have been chemically weathered and have interacted with recycled saline groundwater are confirmed by weathering products and stable isotope fractionations in martian meteorites.  相似文献

A DISAGGREGATE STORE-CHOICE MODEL OF SPATIAL DECISION-MAKING     

Harry J. Schuler 《The Professional geographer》1979,31(2):146-156

Empirical testing of a decision model yields insights concerning the ways in which shoppers process information about grocery stores. Confirming hypotheses from the literature on consumer preferences, the results show that respondents are primarily concerned with quality and price of merchandise and that behavior is directly linked to derived utility measures. Clustering of the subjects discloses subtle differences among consumer groups in their approaches to evaluating the attributes of grocery stores.  相似文献

Climatic change and Chinese population growth dynamics over the last millennium   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The climate–population relationship has long been conceived. Although the topic has been repeatedly investigated, most of the related works are Eurocentric or qualitative. Consequently, the relationship between climate and population remains ambiguous. In this study, fine-grained temperature reconstructions and historical population data sets have been employed to statistically test a hypothesized relationship between temperature change and population growth (i.e., cooling associated with below average population growth) in China over the past millennium. The important results were: (1) Long-term temperature change significantly determined the population growth dynamics of China. However, spatial variation existed, whilst population growth in Central China was shown to be responsive to both long- and short-term temperature changes; in marginal areas, population growth was only sensitive to short-term temperature fluctuations. (2) Temporally, the temperature–population relationship was obscured in some periods, which was attributable to the factors of drought and social buffers. In summary, a temperature–population relationship was mediated by geographic factors, the aridity threshold, and social factors. Given the upcoming threat posed by climate change to human societies, this study seeks to improve our knowledge and understanding of the climate–society relationship.  相似文献   

Petrologic and textural diversity among the PCA 02 howardite group,one of the largest pieces of the Vestan surface

Abstract— Nine howardites and two diogenites were recovered from the Pecora Escarpment Icefield (PCA) in 2002. Cosmogenic radionuclide abundances indicate that the samples are paired and that they constituted an approximately 1 m (diameter) meteoroid prior to atmospheric entry. At about 1 m in diameter, the PCA 02 HED group represents one of the largest single pre‐atmospheric pieces of the Vestan surface yet described. Mineral and textural variations were measured in six of the PCA 02 howardites to investigate meter‐scale diversity of the Vestan surface. Mineral compositions span the range of known eucrite and diogenite compositions. Additional non‐diogenitic groups of Mg‐ and Fe‐rich olivine are observed, and are interpreted to have been formed by exogenic contamination and impact melting, respectively. These howardites contain olivine‐rich impact melts that likely formed from dunite‐ and harzburgite‐rich target rocks. Containing the first recognized olivine‐rich HED impact melts, these samples provide meteoritic evidence that olivine‐rich lithologies have been exposed on the surface of Vesta. Finally, we present a new method for mapping distributions of lithologies in howardites using 8 elemental X‐ray maps. Proportions of diogenite and eucrite vary considerably among the PCA 02 howardites, suggesting they originated from a heterogeneous portion of the Vestan surface. While whole sample modes are dominated by diogenite, the finer grain size fractions are consistently more eucritic. This discrepancy has implications for near‐infrared spectral observations of portions of Vesta’s surface that are similar to the PCA 02 howardites, as the finer grained eucritic material will disproportionately dominate the spectra.  相似文献   

Fractionated sulfur isotopes in sulfides of the Kaidun meteorite     

Harry Y. McSWEEN  Lee R. RICIPUTI  Bruce A. PATERSON 《Meteoritics & planetary science》1997,32(1):51-54

Abstract— The Kaidun meteorite contains carbonaceous chondrite (CM1) clasts that have been highly altered by reactions with hydrothermal fluids. Pyrrhotite in these clasts occurs as unusual needles wrapped by sheaths of phyllosilicate, and pentlandite forms veins that crosscut aggregates of phyllosilicate and garnet but not pyrrhotite. The isotopic compositions of S (δ³⁴S_CDT) in individual sulfide grains, measured by ion micro-probe, are fractionated compared to troilite in ordinary chondrites. The S in Kaidun sulfides is isotopically light (as much as ?4.2% for pyrrhotite and ?5.7%0 for pentlandite), unlike sulfides in other carbonaceous chondrites, which are enriched in ³⁴S. The unusual S-isotopic composition of these texturally unique sulfides supports the hypothesis that Kaidun CM1 clasts were pervasively altered under extreme thermal conditions, possibly by fluids that had lost isotopically heavy SO₂.  相似文献   

IN-SITU observations of irregular ionospheric structure associated with the plasmapause     

Harry A. Taylor  Guy R. Cordier 《Planetary and Space Science》1974,22(9):1289-1296

Additional studies of the ion composition results obtained from the OGO-6 satellite support earlier observations of irregularities in the distribution of H⁺ and He⁺ within the light ion trough near L = 4, which has been associated with the plasmapause. These irregularities are in the form of sub-troughs superimposed upon the major mid latitude decrease of the light ions. In the sub-troughs, ionization depletions and recoveries of as much as an order of magnitude are observed within a few degrees of latitude, usually exhibited in a pattern which changes significantly with longitude as the Earth rotates beneath the relatively fixed satellite orbit. The location and properties exhibited by these sub-troughs appear to be consistent with the concept of a plasmasphere distortion in the form of “plasmatails” resulting from the combined effects of magnetospheric convection plus corotation. Like the light ion trough, the “plasmatail” irregularity in H⁺ may be obscured on the day side by the dominant topside distribution of O⁺. Consequently, these light ion irregularities are seen as an important factor for studies of plasmapause-trough relationships.  相似文献   

Ein Verfahren zur Berechnung von Gezeitenstrom- und Gefällsellipsen     

Harry Sendner 《Ocean Dynamics》1952,5(4):199-204

Zusammenfassung Bei der im Folgenden beschriebenen Methode zur Berechnung der Stromellipsenelemente werden die Summen und Differenzen der Hauptachsen bzw. ihrer Richtungen und Phasen als Beträge bzw. Richtungen zweier Vektoren bestimmt. Die Komponenten dieser Vektoren sind wieder Summen und Differenzen von vier Konstanten, die man bei der harmonischen Analyse der Stromkomponenten bezüglich der betreffenden Tide gewinnt. Eine andere Berechnungsmethode geht von den harmonischen Konstanten der Stromkomponenten aus und benutzt trigonometrische Funktionen komplexen Arguments. Zum Schluß werden Beziehungen zwischen den Elementen der Stromellipse und denen der Gefällsellipse aufgestellt unter der Voraussetzung, daß der Zusammenhang zwischen horizontalen und vertikalen Gezeiten sich durch die linearisierten hydrodynamischen Grundgleichungen darstellen läßt.

A method of calculating tidal stream and gradient ellipses

Summary In the following paper a method of calculating the elements of tidal stream ellipses is described by which the sums and differences of the major axes or their directions and phases are determined as the scalar quantities or directions of two vectors. The components of these vectors, on their turn, are sums and differences of four constants obtained by the harmonic analysis of the stream components with regard to the respective tide. Another calculating method proceeds from the harmonic constants of the stream components and employs trigonometric functions of complex arguments. Finally, on the supposition that the relation between horizontal and vertical tides may be represented by the linearized fundamental hydrodynamic equations, relations are established between the elements of the tidal stream ellipse and those of the gradient ellipse.

Mode de calcul des ellipses du courant de marée et du gradient

Résumé Le mode de calcul des éléments des ellipses du courant expliqué ci-dessous demande que les sommes et les différences des grandaxes ou leurs directions et leurs phases soient déterminées comme grandeurs scalaires ou comme directions de deux vecteurs. Les composantes de ces vecteurs sont, de leur part, les sommes ou les différences de quatre constantes qui résultent de l'analyse harmonique des composantes de courant de la marée en question. Une autre méthode de calcul part des constantes harmoniques des composantes de courant et emploie des fonctions trigonométriques à l'argument complexe. Enfin, pourvu que la relation entre les composantes horizontales et verticales puisse être représentée à l'aide des équations hydrodynamiques fondamentales linéarisées, des relations entre les éléments de l'ellipse du courant et ceux de l'ellipse du gradient sont établies.
