Degree of Oxidation of Adirondack Iron Oxide and Iron-Titanium Oxide Minerals in Relation to Petrogeny     

BUDDINGTON  A. F.; FAHEY  JOSEPH; VLISIDIS  ANGELINA 《Journal of Petrology》1963,4(1):138-169

Partial chemical analyses of the accessory iron oxide and iron-titaniumoxide minerals from more than one hundred samples of Adirondackigneous, metamorphic, and metasomatic rocks portray the degreeof oxidation of the minerals and afford a basis for a discussionof their relation to the accompanying silicate assemblage andpetrogeny. Among the granitic igneous rocks, the green pyroxenicfacies have the least oxidized iron-titanium oxide mineralsand a pink potassium-rich microperthitic microcline facies themost oxidized. Granites and syenites may crystallize with eitheran iron-rich variety of hornblende (or pyroxene) plus ilmenite,or with an iron-magnesium variety of hornblende (or of pyroxene)plus magnetite plus ilmenite, depending on the degree of oxidation.The granite facies of the orthogneisses of the Diana Complex(Precambrian) have a more oxidized mineral assemblage than thesyenitic and quartz syenitic facies. The anorthosites and gabbroanorthosites have relatively oxygen-rich oxide minerals. Orthogneissesin the granulite facies have a lower ratio of Fe₂O₃/FeO thansimilar gneisses in the amphibolite facies. At least part ofthis lower ratio is due to metamorphism at higher temperaturesand pressures. A regional belt of granitic orthogneiss metamorphosedin the amphibolite facies has a magnetite-sphene instead ofa magnetite-ilmenite assemblage. Metasomatism of biotite-quartz-plagioclasegneiss to sillimanitic quartz-microcline gneisses is accompaniedby decrease in mafic silicates and a series of changes of mineralsin intermediate stages such that, in general, biotite yieldswith increasing degrees of oxidation successively such assemblagesas (1) biotite, garnet, magnetite, hemo-ilmenite, and ilmeno-hematite;(2) pale brown mica, sillimanite, magnetite, and ilmeno-hematite;and (3) rutilo-hematite, rutile, and meagre silicates includingsillimanite, muscovite, and chlorite. Diabase altered to monzodioriteby potassium-bearing solutions has ilmeno-magnetite partly alteredto ilmeno-maghemite.  相似文献   

Rapid Temporal Changes in Ocean Island Basalt Composition: Evidence from an 800 m Deep Drill Hole in Eiao Shield (Marquesas)   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1

The Dominique drill hole has penetrated the volcanic shieldof Eiao island (Marquesas) down to a depth of 800 m below thesurface and 691•5 m below sea-level with a percentage ofrecovery close to 100%. All the lavas encountered were emplacedunder subaerial conditions. From the bottom to the top are distinguished:quartz and olivine tholeiites (800–686 m), hawaiites,mugearites and trachyte (686–415 m), picritic basalts,olivine tholeiites and alkali basalts (415–0 m). The coredvolcanic pile was emplaced between 5•560•07 Ma and5•220•06 Ma. Important chemical changes occurred during this rather shorttime span (0•34 0•13 Ma). In particular, the lowerbasalts differ from the upper ones in their lower concentrationsof incompatible trace elements and their Sr, Nd and Pb isotopicsignature being closer to the HIMU end-member, whereas the upperbasalts are EM II enriched. The chemical differences betweenthe two basalt groups are consistent with a time-related decreasein the degree of partial melting of isotopically heterogeneoussources. It seems unlikely that these isotopic differences reflectchanges in plume dynamics occurring in such a short time span,and we tentatively suggest that they result from a decreasingdegree of partial melting of a heterogeneous EM II–HIMUmantle plume. Some of the intermediate magmas (the uppermost hawaiites andmugearites) are likely to be derived from parent magmas similarto the associated upper basalts through simple fractionationprocesses. Hawaiites, mugearites and a trachyte from the middlepart of the volcanic sequence have Sr–Nd isotopic signaturessimilar to those of the lower basalts but they differ from themin their lower ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios, resulting in an increasedDMM signature. Some of the hawaiites-mugearites also displayspecific enrichments in P₂O₅, Sr and REE which are unlikelyto result from simple fractionation processes. The isotopicand incompatible element compositions of the intermediate rocksare consistent with the assimilation of MORB-derived wall rocksduring fractional crystallization. The likely contaminant correspondsto Pacific oceanic crust, locally containing apatite-rich veinsand hydrothermal sulphides. We conclude that a possible explanationfor the DMM signature in ocean island basalts is a chemicalcontribution from the underlying oceanic crust and that studiesof intermediate rocks may be important to document the originof the isotopic features of plume-derived magmas.

Coping with Rural Change: Finding a Place for the Elderly in Sustainable Communities     

ALUN E. JOSEPH  A.I. CHALMERS 《New Zealand geographer》1998,54(2):28-36

This paper reports on some individual constructions of ageing and how these relate to the mutual sustainability of lives and communities in the changing rurality of New Zealand in the 1990s. The Arena Society model is used to organise a discussion of the impact of technology on settlement systems, with reference to changes in the provision of banking services and their impact on the elderly. The views of older people living in the village of Tirau in the Waikato are used to ground the analysis in human experience. The concluding discussion focuses on the potential contribution of older rural residents to the ‘multiple agency’ that communities will need for survival in the ‘open society’.  相似文献   

TROUBLING FIELDS: THE OPIUM POPPY IN EGYPT     

JOSEPH J. HOBBS 《Geographical review》1998,88(1):64-85

ABSTRACT. Probably domesticated in Asia Minor, the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) may have reached Egypt by 1500 b.c.e. Egyptian opium was important historically for medicinal uses, but increasing recreational use led to eradication efforts by the early twentieth century. With the closure of Lebanon's Bekáa Valley as a source of raw opium, poppy cultivation began in the Sinai Peninsula after 1990. Unemployment attracts bedouin men to this dangerous occupation. A heroin epidemic in Egypt is attributed to them, but their very modest opium production suggests wrongly so. A package of development activities with emphasis on backcountry tourism is proposed as an alternative to poppy farming.  相似文献   

High Field Strength Element Enrichment of Pliocene--Pleistocene Island Arc Basalts, Zamboanga Peninsula, Western Mindanao (Philippines)   总被引：37，自引：0，他引：37

The Pliocene—Pleistocene magmatic activity of the Zamboangaare is linked to the southward subduction of the Oligocene—Mio-ceneSulu Sea back-are basin along the Sulu Trench. The magmaticproducts include small amounts of adakites dated from 3.8 to0.7 Ma, abundant Nb-enriched basalts and basaltic andesites(NEB) dated from 2 to 1 Ma and a lone calc-alkaline potassicbasaltic andesite dated at 0.4 Ma. Three kinds of NEB are distinguished:nearly primitive Mg-rich (MG) basalts displaying positive orno Nb anomalies with respect to adjacent incompatible elementsand more evolved low-K (LK) and calc-alkaline (CA) lavas which,despite their Nb enrichment, display negative Nb anomalies.Although the role of OIB-type mantle components has been advocatedto explain the HFSE enrichment of NEB, the spatial and temporalassociation of these rocks with adakites suggests a petrogeneticlink between them. Trace element characteristics of the NEBimply that amphibole and ilmenite might be present in theirsource. We suggest that these minerals could be added metasomaticallyto the mantle through hybridization by percolating slab melts,during which Nb and Ti are preferentially extracted from theadakitic melts. In an early stage (4–3 Ma) of the subductionof the young and hot Sulu Sea basin crust beneath the Zamboangapeninsula, adakitic liquids formed at depths of 75–85km. A few of them were emplaced at the surface but most wereconsumed through slab melt-mantle metasomatic reactions. Adakiteproduction and emplacement continued later (<2 Ma), whilethe Nb-enriched mantle was brought by convection to depths thatallowed its melting and the subsequent emplacement of NEB behindthe adakitic front of the Zamboanga are.

Biophysical aggregations of a forested landscape using an ecological diagnostic system     

JOSEPH C COUGHLAN  STEVEN W RUNNING 《Transactions in GIS》1996,1(1):25-39

We demonstrate a methodology for executing ecosystem models on large regional data sets by organizing and reducing their size prior to executing the model. A knowledge-based (KB) classification method was constructed to aggregate large raster data layers into fewer biophysical landtypes as defined by a climate-soil-vegetation equilibrium. Statistical tests compared simulated seasonal water stress from raster data simulations to their KB landtype and verified that the KB classifications are ordered along a seasonal water stress gradient (p=0.95). The KB method produced a more distinct water stress classification than an alternative GIS overlay classification. Internal concepts modelled by the KB, such as snowpack persistence, were compared to simulated snowpack depletion dates for a range of sites. The KB exhibited the same sensitivity, in direction and magnitude of variation, as simulated snowpack depletion dates from the process model FOREST-BGC. The KB method was 1000 times faster than the optimized versions of the physically based models, justifying the use of a KB as an efficient preprocessor to reduce a large database prior to ecosystem simulations.  相似文献   

Magmatic Conditions and Magma Ascent as Indicated by Hornblende Phase Equilibria and Reactions in the 1995-2002 Soufriere Hills Magma   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

RUTHERFORD  MALCOLM J.; DEVINE  JOSEPH D. 《Journal of Petrology》2003,44(8):1433-1453

A study of amphiboles and associated minerals in samples ofSoufrière Hills andesite erupted from 1995 to 2002 showssignificant compositional variations within hornblende phenocrysts,a separate set of small pargasitic crystals in the groundmass,and two types of reaction rims on the phenocrysts. The compositionof the amphiboles and coexisting phases defines the thermalhistory of the erupting magma. As many as seven zones (<200µm wide) in the hornblende phenocrysts begin with a sharpincrease in Mg and Si, and then change gradually to a more Fe-and Al-rich hornblende, a transition that is consistent witha temperature rise. Analyses of the hornblende phenocrysts andassociated Fe–Ti oxides verify previous conclusions thatthe pre-eruption magma was at 130 MPa and 830 ± 10°C,but was variably heated before eruption. The heating occurredwithin  相似文献

CORRECTION FACTORS IN THE DETERMINATION OF MEAN VELOCITY OF OVERLAND FLOW     

GANG LI  ATHOL D. ABRAHAMS  JOSEPH F. ATKINSON 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1996,21(6):509-515

The velocity of overland flow has been conventionally measured using tracers, but it is difficult to measure the mean flow velocity directly because the centroid of the tracer plume is not easily identified. Consequently, previous investigators have measured the velocity of the leading edge of the plume and multiplied it by a correction factor α to obtain an estimate of mean velocity. An alternative method is to measure the velocity of the peak concentration in the tracer plume and multiply this velocity by another correction factor β to estimate mean velocity. To investigate the controls of α and β and develop predictive models for these correction factors, 40 experiments were performed in a flume with a mobile sand bed. Multiple regression analyses reveal that both α and β vary inversely with slope and directly with Reynolds number. The derived regression equations may be used to calculate the mean velocity of other shallow overland flows, at least within the range of slope and Reynolds number for which the equations were developed. In the experiments, slope ranged from 2.7;° to 10° and Reynolds number from 1900 to 12 600.  相似文献
