Thérèse Mound: a case study of coral bank development in the Belgica Mound Province,Porcupine Seabight     

Ben De Mol  Max Kozachenko  Andy Wheeler  Hugo Alvares  Jean-Pierre Henriet  Karine Olu-Le Roy 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2007,96(1):103-120

High-resolution seismic profiles, swath bathymetry, side-scan sonar data and video imageries are analysed in this detailed study of five carbonate mounds from the Belgica mound province with special emphasis on the well-surveyed Thérèse Mound. The selected mounds are located in the deepest part of the Belgica mound province at water depths of 950 m. Seismic data illustrate that the underlying geology is characterised by drift sedimentation in a general northerly flowing current regime. Sigmoidal sediment bodies create local slope breaks on the most recent local erosional surface, which act as the mound base. No preferential mound substratum is observed, neither is there any indication for deep geological controls on coral bank development. Seismic evidence suggests that the start-up of the coral bank development was shortly after a major erosional event of Late Pliocene–Quaternary age. The coral bank geometry has been clearly affected by the local topography of this erosional base and the prevailing current regime. The summits of the coral banks are relatively flat and the flanks are steepest on their upper slopes. Deposition of the encased drift sequence has been influenced by the coral bank topography. Sediment waves are formed besides the coral banks and are the most pronounced bedforms. These seabed structures are probably induced by bottom current up to 1 m/s. Large sediment waves are colonised by living corals and might represent the initial phase of coral bank development. The biological facies distribution of the coral banks illustrate a living coral cap on the summit and upper slope and a decline of living coral populations toward the lower flanks. The data suggest that the development of the coral banks in this area is clearly an interaction between biological growth processes and drift deposition both influenced by the local topography and current regime.  相似文献   

The identification of an active fault by a multidisciplinary study at the archaeological site of Sagalassos (SW Turkey)     

Dominique Similox-Tohon  Manuel Sintubin  Philippe Muchez  Griet Verhaert  Kris Vanneste  Max Fernandez  Sara Vandycke  Hannelore Vanhaverbeke  Marc Waelkens   《Tectonophysics》2006,420(3-4):371-387

The archaeological site of Sagalassos (SW Turkey) is located in a region characterized by the absence of any significant recent seismic activity, contrary to adjacent regions. However, the assessment of earthquake-related damage at the site suggests that the earthquakes that have been demonstrated to have struck this Pisidian city in ca. AD 500 and in the middle or second half of the 7th century AD are characterized by an MSK intensity of at least VIII and occurred on a fault very close to the city. Different investigation techniques (archaeoseismology, remote sensing and geomorphology, surface geology and structural data, 2D resistivity imaging and palaeoseismological trenching) have been applied at the archaeological site and its direct surroundings in search for the causative fault of these earthquakes. This multidisciplinary approach shows that each of the different approaches independently provides only partial, non-conclusive information with respect to the fault identification. Integration is imperative to give a conclusive answer in the search for the causative fault. This study has, indeed, revealed the existence of a to date unknown active normal fault system passing underneath ancient Sagalassos, i.e. the Sagalassos fault. A historical coseismic surface rupture event on this fault could be identified. This event possibly corresponds to the devastating Sagalassos earthquakes of ca. AD 500 and the middle or second half of the 7th century AD. Finally, this study demonstrates that in the particular geodynamic setting of SW Turkey archaeological sites with extensive earthquake-related damage form an important tool in any attempt to asses the seismic hazard.  相似文献   

VHF radar observations of surface currents off the northern Opal coast in the eastern English Channel     

Alexei Sentchev  Max Yaremchuk 《Continental Shelf Research》2007

Two very high-frequency radars (VHFR) operating on the Opal coast of eastern English Channel provided a nearly continuous 35-day long dataset of surface currents over a 500 km² area at 0.6–1.8 km resolution. Argo drifter tracking and CTD soundings complemented the VHFR observations, which extended approximately 25 km offshore. The radar data resolve three basic modes of the surface velocity variation in the area, that are driven by tides, winds and freshwater fluxes associated with seasonal river discharge. The first mode, accounting for 90% of variability, is characterized by an along-shore flow pattern, whereas the second and third modes exhibit cross-shore, and eddy-like structures in the current velocity field. All the three modes show the dominant semi-diurnal variability and low-frequency modulation by the neap-spring tidal cycle. Although tidal forcing provides the major contribution to variability of local currents, baroclinicity plays an important role in shaping the 3D velocity field averaged over the tidal cycle and may strongly affect tracer dynamics on larger time scales. An empirical orthogonal function (EOF) decomposition and a spectral rotary analysis of the VHFR data reveal a discontinuity in the velocity field occurring approximately 10 km offshore which was caused by the reversal in the sign of rotation of the current vector. This feature of local circulation is responsible for surface current convergence on ebb, divergence on flood and strong oscillatory vertical motion. Spectral analysis of the observed currents and the results of the Agro drifter tracking indicate that the line of convergence approximately follows the 30-m isobath. The most pronounced feature of the radar-derived residual circulation is the along-coast intensification of surface currents with velocity magnitude of 0.25 m/s typical for the Regions of Freshwater Influence (ROFI). The analysis has provided a useful, exploratory examination of surface currents, suggesting that the circulation off the Opal coast is governed by ROFI dynamics on the hypertidal background.  相似文献   

Evolution of a mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate deep‐marine system on an unstable margin: The Cretaceous of the Eastern Greater Caucasus,Azerbaijan     

Zoë A. Cumberpatch  Euan L. Soutter  Ian A. Kane  Max Casson  Stephen J. Vincent 《Basin Research》2021,33(1):612-647

Mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate deep‐marine systems (mixed systems) are less documented in the geological record than pure siliciclastic systems. The similarities and differences between these systems are, therefore, poorly understood. A well‐exposed Late Cretaceous mixed system on the northern side of the Eastern Greater Caucasus, Azerbaijan, provides an opportunity to study the interaction between contemporaneous siliciclastic and carbonate deep‐marine deposition. Facies analysis reveals a Cenomanian–early Turonian siliciclastic submarine channel complex that abruptly transitions into a Mid Turonian–Maastrichtian mixed lobe‐dominated succession. The channels are entrenched in lows on the palaeo‐seafloor but are absent 10 km towards the west where an Early Cretaceous submarine landslide complex acted as a topographic barrier to deposition. By the Campanian, this topography was largely healed allowing extensive deposition of the mixed lobe‐dominated succession. Evidence for irregular bathymetry is recorded by opposing palaeoflow indicators and frequent submarine landslides. The overall sequence is interpreted to represent the abrupt transition from Cenomanian–early Turonian siliciclastic progradation to c. Mid Turonian retrogradation, followed by a gradual return to progradation in the Santonian–Maastrichtian. The siliciclastic systems periodically punctuate a more widely extensive calcareous system from the Mid Turonian onwards, resulting in a mixed deep‐marine system. Mixed lobes differ from their siliciclastic counterparts in that they contain both siliciclastic and calcareous depositional elements making determining distal and proximal environments challenging using conventional terminology and complicate palaeogeographic interpretations. Modulation and remobilisation also occur between the two contemporaneous systems making stacking patterns difficult to decipher. The results provide insight into the behaviour of multiple contemporaneous deep‐marine fans, an aspect that is challenging to decipher in non‐mixed systems. The study area is comparable in terms of facies, architectures and the presence of widespread instability to offshore The Gambia, NW Africa, and could form a suitable analogue for mixed deep‐marine systems observed elsewhere.  相似文献

TEM study of the transformation of augite to sodic pyroxene in eclogitized ferrogabbro     

Max T. Otten  Peter R. Buseck 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1987,96(4):529-538

Transmission and analytical electron microscopy has been used to study relicts of augite that occur in various stages of transformation to sodic pyroxene. The augite relicts are characterized by a hatching produced by two sets of former 001 exsolution lamellae that possess high dislocation densities and were altered completely to sodic pyroxene, even where the augite matrix is still fresh. With further alteration, the sodic pyroxene in these 001 lamellae recrystallized and grew into the augite matrix, resulting in irregular lamellae that consist of subgrains having low dislocation densities. Needles and thin (100) lamellae of sodic pyroxene developed on the 001 lamellae. Alteration of the augite matrix proceeded by growth of areas with defects (dislocations, stacking faults). All sodic pyroxenes in these microstructures have the same orientation as the precursor augite, indicating a topotactic reaction mechanism. The reactions occurred at roughly constant Si and mainly involved replacement of Ca and Mg by Na and Al. Dislocations may have played a prominent role in the transformation by acting as diffusion pathways and by migrating into untransformed augite, leaving sodic pyroxene in their wake. At the grain boundaries of the augite, discrete grains of sodic pyroxene formed without any fixed orientation relation with the augite, consistent with a non-topotactic reaction. The predominance of the topotactic reaction inside the augite over the non-topotactic grain-boundary reaction is attributed to the scarcity of fluids during eclogite metamorphism.  相似文献   

Das Meer in der Geschichte der Geologie     

Prof. Dr. Max Pfannenstiel 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1970,60(1):3-72

Zusammenfassung Die Vorstellung, die geologische Erforschung der Erde sei zuerst von den Kontinenten ausgegangen und sei zeitlich sehr viel später auf den Meeresboden ausgedehnt worden, ist in ihrer Allgemeinheit nicht zutreffend. Denn nur einige wenige Jahre trennen den Beginn der festländischen Geologie durch den DänenNikolaus Steno (1669) von der ersten Publikation (1681) über die Hydrographie eines Meereskanales, nämlich des Bosporus, durch den italienischen NaturforscherLuigi Ferdinando Marsili aus Bologna. Schon 1711 erschien seine erste Notiz über submarine Geologie, und das Jahr 1725 bringt in seinem Werke Histoire Physique de la Mer die Grundlagen der physischen Ozeanographie und besonders der submarinen Geologie. Vor mehr als 250 Jahren wurden durch ihn der Schelf, die Schelfkante, der Kontinentalabfall, die submarinen Canyons entdeckt; ja, selbst die verschiedenen Sedimente in ihrer Lage nebeneinander, also das, was wir die Fazies nennen, wurde schon vonMarsili erkannt. A.Gressly hat (1836) die gut begründeten Faziesgesetze niedergelegt, und es sei auch A.Lavoisier (1789) nicht vergessen, dem wir die Begriffe wie littorale und pelagische Sedimente verdanken.Das Meer als Forschungsobjekt wurde durch die Entdeckung der rezenten Korallenriffe in der Südsee für Geologen und Zoologen interessant, wie ganz allgemein die großen Weltumsegelungen geologische Materialien in die Studierstuben brachten.Die Fortschritte der Technik sind die Schrittmacher der Ozeanographie in allen ihren Zweigen, auch der submarinen Geologie, gewesen. Darum gehört in eine historische Studie auch ein Abschnitt über die frühesten Lotapparate und die ersten Dredgegeräte, die Kernapparate und Bodengreifer.Mit den Lotleinen und Lotgewichten kamen auch die ersten Sedimente mit Tieren vom tiefen Meeresboden an Bord der Schiffe; sie muteten den damaligen Paläozoologen wie noch lebende Relikte der Kreide- und Tertiärzeit an.Jede einigermaßen gesicherte Lotung half mit, das Relief der Ozeanböden aufzuhellen. Marine Biologie und Geologie erkannten sich bald als Schwestern der Wissenschaft am Meere. Der Berliner GelehrteChr. Gottfried Ehrenberg und der EngländerEd. Forbes, der Amerikaner J. W.Bailey (alle um 1850) haben der submarinen Biologie und Sedimentologie unvergängliche Dienste geleistet, obwohl deren Namen heute kaum noch genannt werden.Es war ein weiter Weg, von den Meeresströmungen ausgehend (besonders nach der Entdeckung von Ober- und Unterstrom), bis hin zur Erkenntnis der Bildung einer fossilen Salzlagerstätte. Ja, selbst uns so geläufige Vorgänge wie die zerstörende Wirkung der Meereswellen an Steilküsten und Uferbauten wurden erst allmählich erkannt.Dienten die ersten Weltumsegelungen in erster Linie geographischen, nautischen, militärpolitischen und ethnographischen Zwecken, so drängten sich schließlich alle Zweige der Naturwissenschaften am Meere in den Vordergrund. Große Expeditionen, wie die Challenger-Fahrt (um nur eine von vielen zu nennen), mußten von Naturforschern gründlich vorbereitet und organisiert werden. Solche Pionierarbeit, besonders für die Geologie, leistete die Wiener Akademie in den Jahren 1850–1856 in der Vorbereitung der Erdumsegelung der Korvette Novara in den Jahren 1850–1856.Die vorliegende Studie beginnt mit Erinnerungen an die Kenntnisse der Alten, d. h. der Männer des klassischen Altertums, die fragten, was denn im Meere lebt, wie tief es sei und warum und wieso es salzig ist. Die Fragen und deren klare Antworten verdichteten sich in den Jahren zwischen 1650 und 1725. Etwa ab 1800 setzen systematische Forschungen ein. Diese Studie behandelt das historische Werden der submarinen Geologie bis um die Jahrhundertwende. Dann beginnt die moderne Zeit. Was von 1900 bis heute geschah, schildert J. R.Dean in seinem trefflichen Buche: Down to the Sea. A century of oceanography (Glasgow 1966).

The idea that the geological exploration of the earth was started on the continents and was only much later extended to the bottom of the oceans, is too simplifying to be true. Only a few years lie between the beginning of continental geology by the Danish scientistNikolaus Steno (1669) and the first publication on the hydrography of the Bosporus Strait by the Italian naturalistLuigi Ferdinando Marsili of Bologna (1681). Already in 1711, he published his first small paper on submarine geology and in 1725 his book: Histoire Physique de la Mer appeared, in which he laid down the foundations of oceanography and submarine geology. Thus, more than 250 years ago he discovered the existence of the shelf and the shelf-margin, the continental slope and the submarine canyons.Marsili even found the different kinds of sediments in their juxtaposition on the bottom of the sea, the phenomenon we now call facies. In 1836, A.Gressly set up the well established laws of the facies. Furthermore the name of A.Lavoisier (1789) should be mentioned to whom we owe the concepts of littoral and pelagic sedimentation.Through the discovery of recent coral reefs in the tropical seas, the ocean became a wide research topic for geologists and zoologists, just as the great voyages of discovery supplied a large amount of geological material to scientists.The technological advances promoted all sections of oceanography, including submarine geology. Therefore, a historical study of this kind should include a section on the earliest sounding apparatus, the first dredges, corers and bottom catchers.Attached to the sounding ropes and sinkers, the first sediments were pulled onto the deck of the ships; they appeared to the old paleozoologists as living relics of the Cretaceous and Tertiary.Every reliable sounding increased our knowledge of the relief of the ocean bottom. Soon, marine biology and submarine geology realized that they were adjoining sciences of the seas. Scientists likeChr. Gottfried Ehrenberg of Berlin,Ed. Forbes of Edinburgh and the American J. W.Bailey (all at about 1850) have rendered everlasting services to marine biology and sedimentology, although their names are seldom mentioned in our days.It was a long way from the observation of currents in the oceans (especially after the discovery of superficial and undercurrents) to the perception of the formation of fossil salt deposits. Even such simple phenomena as the destructive action of the sea waves on cliffs and artificial embankments were understood only gradually.The earliest voyages round the world served mainly geographic, nautical, ethnographical and military-naval purposes. But finally all fields of the sciences of the ocean gained importance. Large projects like the Challenger Expedition (to mention only the most famous one among many others) had to be thoroughly prepared and organized by natural scientists. Such pioneer work, especially for geology, was done by the Austrian Academy in Vienna in the course of preparing the sailing round the globe by the Corvette Novara during the years 1850–1856.The present study starts with a glance at the ideas of those men in classical Greek and Roman times, who first asked about life in the ocean, its depth and the origin of its salinity. These questions and their answers began to be more seriously discussed in the years between 1650 and 1725, but only around 1800 systematic research was started.This study deals with the historical development of submarine geology until the turn of this century. The new era of modern time oceanography in this century is very well described in the excellent book by J. R.Dean: Down to the Sea. A century of oceanography (Glasgow 1966).

Résumé La conception que l'exploration géologique de la terre serait d'abord partie des continents et n'aurait été étendue que beaucoup plus tard au fond des océans n'est pas valable dans sa généralisation. Car très peu d'années seulement se sont écoulées entre le début de la géologie continentale par le danoisNikolaus Steno (1669) et la première publication (1681) sur l'hydrographie d'un détroit marin, à savoir le Bosphore, par le naturaliste italienLuigi Ferdinando Marsili de Bologne. Déjà en 1711 paraît sa première note concernant la géologie sous-marine et l'année 1725 apporte dans son oeuvre « Histoire physique de la mer» les fondements de l'océanographie physique et surtout de la géologie sousmarine. Il y a plus de 250 ans qu'il decouvrit la plate-forme continentale, son rebord, le talus continental et les canyons sous-marins; même la juxtaposition des divers sédiments, ce que nous appelons les faciès, fut déjà reconnue parMarsili. A.Gressly (1836) a établi et motivé les lois des faciès; il ne faut pas non plus oublierLavoisier (1789) à qui nous devons des notions telles que sédiments littoraux et pélagiques.A la suite de la découverte de récifs coralliens récents dans les régions australes, la mer devint un object de recherches intéressant les géologues et les zoologistes, tout comme d'une façon générale, les grands voyages autour du globe apportèrent des matériaux géologiques dans les cabinets d'étude.Les progrès de la technique ont fait avancer aussi bien la géologie sous-marine que toutes les branches de l'océanographie. C'est pourquoi une étude historique doit comprendre un chapitre concernant les appareils de sondage les plus primitifs et les premiers instruments de forage, les appareils à carotte et les bennes-autos.Avec les cordes et les lests des sondes remontèrent à bord des bateaux non seulement les sédiments, mais aussi les premiers animaux des fonds marins profonds; ils apparurent aux paléontologues d'alors comme des reliques vivantes des temps crétacés et tertiaires.Tout sondage tant soit peu soigneusement exécuté aida à préciser le relief des fonds océaniques. La géologie et la biologie marine se considérèrent bientôt comme étant les sciences soeurs de la mer. Bien que leurs noms soient encore à peine évoqués de nos jours,Chr. Gottfried Ehrenberg, savant berlinois,Ed. Forbes, anglais et J. W.Bailey, américain, ayant tous vécu vers 1850 ont rendu des services impérissables à la biologie sous-marine et a la sédimentologie.Partant des courants marins, surtout après la découverte des courants superficiels et profonds, le chemin à parcourir fut long pour arriver à la reconnaissance de la formation d'un gisement salifère. Même des notions actuellement très courantes, comme l'action destructrice des vagues le long de falaises et des constructions côtières, n'ont été reconnues que très progressivement.Bien que le premiers tours du monde aient eu en première ligne des buts géographiques, nautiques, politico-militaires et ethnographiques, toutes les branches des sciences de la nature se poussèrent finalement au premier plan. De grandes expéditions, telle celle de «Challenger», pour en citer une parmi de nombreuses autres, durent être préparées et organisées soigneusement par des naturalistes. Une telle oeuvre de pionnier, surtout en ce qui concerne la géologie, fut exécutée par l'Académie de Vienne durant les années 1850–1856 pour préparer le tour du monde de la corvette « Novara ».La présente étude débute avec des rappels des connaissances des anciens, c'est-à-dire des hommes de l'antiquité classique, qui se demandaient ce qui vit dans la mer, quelle est sa profondeur et pourquoi elle est aussi salée. Les questions et leurs réponses se concentrent entre les années 1650 et 1725, c'est après 1800 qu'apparaissent les recherches systématiques. Cette étude traite l'évolution historique de la géologie sous-marine jusque vers le début de ce siècle. C'est alors que débutent les temps modernes. Ce qui a été fait depuis 1900 est traité magistralement par J. R.Dean dans son livre: «Down to the Sea. A century of oceanography» (Glasgow, 1966).
