Mineralogical,geochemical and microfabric evidences of gypsum crusts: a case study from Budapest     

Siegfried Siegesmund  Akos Török  Andre Hüpers  Christian Müller  Werner Klemm 《Environmental Geology》2007,52(2):385-397

High levels of SO₂ and particulate pollution enable the rapid development of gypsum-rich weathering crusts in Budapest. Two types of white crusts, thin and thick ones, and two forms of black crusts, laminar and framboidal ones, were studied in limestone buildings of the parliament and Citadella. The percentage of crust cover and damage categories were documented on selected walls. Petrographic, XRD, XRF and sulphur isotope analyses were performed under laboratory conditions to understand the mechanism of crust formation. White crusts found both on exposed and sheltered walls display a calcite-rich layer with gypsum, while black crusts are enriched with gypsum. The sulphur isotopic composition of white and black crusts overlaps, but the crusts are slightly enriched in heavy isotopes compared to rainwater. S content, Si/Al ratios and particulates in black crusts suggest that air pollution (SO₂, dust) contributes to black crust formation. The accumulation of sulphur and Zn enrichment of white crusts were also documented indicating that under high pollution levels, even these compound can accumulate on exposed facades.  相似文献   

<Superscript>57</Superscript>Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy,X-ray single-crystal diffractometry,and electronic structure calculations on natural alexandrite

Natural alexandrite Al₂BeO₄:Cr from Malyshevo near Terem Tschanka, Sverdlovsk, Ural, Russia, has been characterized by ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, electron microprobe, X-ray single-crystal diffractometry and by electronic structure calculations in order to determine oxidation state and location of iron. The sample contains 0.3 wt% of total iron oxide. The ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectrum can be resolved into three doublets. Two of them with hyperfine parameters typical for octahedrally coordinated high-spin Fe³⁺ and Fe²⁺, respectively, are assigned to iron substituting for Al in the octahedral M2-site. The third doublet is attributed to Fe³⁺ in hematite. Electronic structure calculations in the local spin density approximation are in reasonable agreement with experimental data provided that expansion and/or distortion of the coordination octahedra are presumed upon iron substitution. The calculated hyperfine parameters of Fe³⁺ are almost identical for the M1 and M2 positions, but the calculated ligand-field splitting is by far too large for high-spin Fe³⁺ on M1.  相似文献   

Application of wavelet transformation to determine wavelengths and phase velocities of gravity waves observed by lidar measurements     

R. Werner  K. Stebel  G.H. Hansen  U. Blum  U.-P. Hoppe  M. Gausa  K.-H. Fricke 《Journal of Atmospheric and Solar》2007,69(17-18):2249

During the last two decades, important advances have been made in the investigation of gravity waves. However, more efforts are needed to study certain aspects of gravity waves. In the real atmosphere, gravity waves occur with different properties at different altitudes and, most often, simultaneously. In this case, when there is more than one dominant wave, the determination of gravity wave characteristics, such as the vertical wavelength and the phase velocity, is difficult. The interpretation of temperature perturbation plots versus the altitude and time as well as the application of the Fourier spectral analysis can produce errors.Exact knowledge of the wave characteristics is important both for determination of other characteristics, for example, the horizontal wave components, and for study of wave climatology. The wavelet analysis of vertical temperature profiles allows one to examine the wave's location in space. Up to now, gravity waves have been studied mainly by continuous wavelet transformation to determine dominant waves. We apply wavelet analysis to a time series of temperature profiles, observed by the ALOMAR ozone lidar at Andoya, Norway, and by the U. Bonn lidar system at ESRANGE, Sweden, both for determination of the dominant waves and for specifying the vertical wavelengths and the vertical component of the phase velocities. For this purpose, the wavelet amplitude spectra and the wavelet phase spectra are filtered and Hovmöller diagrams for dominant wavelengths are constructed. The advantage of this type of diagrams is that they give clear evidence for the localization of the dominant waves in space and time and for the development of their phase fronts.  相似文献   

Isotope hydrological study of mean transit times in an alpine basin (Wimbachtal, Germany)     

Piotr Maloszewski  Werner Rauert  Peter Trimborn  Andreas Herrmann  Rolf Rau 《Journal of Hydrology》1992,140(1-4):343-360

Measurements of tritium and ¹⁸O concentrations in precipitation and runoff were used to provide further insight into the groundwater storage properties of the Wimbachtal Valley, a catchment area of 33.4 km², extending between 636 and 2713 m a.s.l. in the Berchtesgaden Alps. The catchment includes three aquifer types: a dominant porous aquifer; a fractured dolomite; a karstic limestone aquifer. Employing a simple hydrological model, information about mean transit times of environmental tracers is derived for the groundwater runoff component and several karst springs from the application of the exponential and dispersion flow models to the isotopic input and output data. The mean transit times calculated from a dispersion model with transit times of 4.1 years for ¹⁸O and 4.2 years for tritium, which agree well, allow calculation of total (mobile + stagnant) groundwater storage volume, which is equivalent to 6.6 m of water depth. Direct runoff appears negligible as in many other cases.  相似文献   

Über kristallstrukturelle Beziehungen zwischen Amblygonit,Kieserit und Titanit     

Dr. Werner H. Baur 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1959,6(6):399-404

Zusammenfassung Der Vergleich der Gitterkonstanten und der Atomparameter von Amblygonit LiAI[PO₄](OH,F), Kieserit Mg[SO₄](H₂O) und Titanit CaTi[SiO₄](O) zeigt, daß diese Strukturen analog gebaut sind. Das Geriist von tetraedrischen und oktaedrischen Koordinationspolyedern ist in allen 3 Fallen gleich. Die Grundstruktur ist die des Kieserits. Die Amblygonitstruktur entsteht aus ihr durch Verzerrung und Auffüllung mit einem weiteren Bauelement, dem Li, die Titanitstruktur nur durch Auffullung ohne Symmetrieverminderung.  相似文献

Ein Pollendiagramm aus dem Untergrund des Zürichsees     

Lüdi Von Werner  ZH Zollikon 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1957,19(2):523-564

Zusammenfassung Im Sommer 1952 wurden von Prof.Otto Jaag im Zürichsee cine Reihe von Tiefenbohrungen ausgeführt. Ein Bohrkern von 830 cm L?nge, der in 140 m Seetiefe entnommen worden war, wurde pollenanalytisch durchge-gearbeitet. Der See erreicht an dieser Stelle seine gr?sste Tiefe, und sein Boden ist auf einer Fl?che von 1000 m Breite und 7000 m L?nge ganz flach, was dafür Gew?hr bietet, dass die Sedimentation ungest?rt vor sich gehen konnte. Der Bohrkern bestand aus tonreichem Mergel oder unreiner Soekreide, mit einzelnen Einlagerungen von Sand (Abb. 2). Er reichte bis in die waldfreie Zeit des Sp?tglazials hinab. Die Ergebnisse der Pollenanalyse sind in den Abbildungen 2 und 3 zusammengestellt. In Abbildung 2, rechts aussen, wird versucht, die Ablagerung nach den Zeitstufen vonBlytt-Sernander undFranz Firbas zu gliedern. Dabei ergaben sich Schwierigkeiten, und es ist fraglich, ob die natürlichen Grenzen in unserm Diagramm mit der zeitlich festgelegten Periodeneinteilung der oben genannten Forscher immer in übereinstimmung gebracht werden k?nnen. Auch wenn die gleiche Waldfolge gefunden wird, so dürften die Waldzeiten im Alpenvorland teilweise wesentlich früher in Erscheinung getreten sein als weiter gegen Norden hin.

Summary During the summer of 1952 several deep boring into the underground of the Zürich-see were carried out by Prof. Dr.O. Jaag. One boring core with a length of 830 cm obtained under 140 m lake water was carefully investigated by pollenanalysis. In the spot from where this core originated, the lake reaches its greatest depth and its bottom is entirely flat within an area of 1000 m to 7000 m, which guarantees that the sedimentary process could continue without disturbance. The boring core consisted of loamy marl or lake-lime (Seekreide) with very few sandy layers (Fig. 2). The eldest samples date from woodless late-glacial time. Results of pollenanalysis are summarized in Figures 2 and 3. In Figure 2 (right outside) it was tried to divide the deposit into time-periods according toBlytt-Sernander andF. Firbas. However there arose certain difficulties and it remains doubtful, whether the natural limits in our diagram agree in each case with the fixed periods of the above named authors. Even where the same sequence of forest-development is found it is likely that some of the same forestperiods were realized considerably earlier in the foreland of the Alps than in northernmore parts of Europe.

Geologie zwischen Cañete-San Juan 13‡ 00′-15‡ 24′ Südperu     

Werner Rüegg 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1957,45(3):775-858

The Peruvian coastal belt between Cañete and San Juan includes three geological units: The Coastal Cordillera on the west, the foothills of the High Sierra on the east, and the Para-Andean trough in between. Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks form a sequence ranging in age from Paleozoic (or Pre-Cambrian?) to Cenozoic, with various gaps. The area lies in a mobile belt, which was folded in late Paleozoic, Jurassic (Nevadian), and upper Cretaceous times. Further tectonic activity, involving warping and block faulting, occurred in the late Tertiary, and suggests an approach to cratonic conditions. Tectonic events were accompanied by emplacement of magmatic suites. There is no evidence for a Pacific landmass.  相似文献   

Das Hoch-Tief-Umwandlungsverhalten mikrokristalliner Quarze     

Werner Smykatz-Kloss 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1972,36(1):1-18

The optical and x-ray investigation of 51 microcrystalline quartz samples show that they are built up of fibrous chalcedony (agates) or finest crystalline, isometric grained quartz (flints, cherts, jasper or Chrysoprase). These samples were examined by standardized d.t.a. — methods in order to get their inversion characteristics.

1. A third of the samples conteins low-temperature cristobalite in addition to quartz (in two samples even as main component); the high-low inversion of this mineral lies between 80 and 245° C according to its defect character. In five samples of jasper low- tridymite is occurring as minor component.
2. In contrary to macrocrystalline quartz crystals microcrystalline quartzes generally show no sharp inversion point. The inversion takes place over an interval of nearly 50° C, to be seen in the d.t.a. curve as a broad, only slightly endothermic effect with hardly visible peak or several small minima. In the curves of 15 samples no inversion could be detected. This broad inversion peak is caused by different defect characters of the crystals or even of parts of the crystals which invert at different temperatures (Flörke, 1955).
3. There is no dependance of t _i on the size of crystallites at least for crystals with diameter greater than 0.05 μ. The temperature of the most prominent inversion minimum allows a division of the microcrystalline quartz crystals analogous the macrocrystalline classification into samples with t _i below and above 570° C. The lowest (518±2° C) and the highest t _i (578,7+0,3° C) were measured at different parts of the same sample of a Chrysoprase.
4. The intensity of the brown and red coloured parts of agate and jasper grows with increasing Fe₂O₃-content, but there is no connection between t _i and chemical composition.
5. As in macrocrystalline quartzes of caverns and veins there are also some t _i -differences between the marginal and the central parts of agates or jaspers. The explanation lies in the mechanism of formation: higher t _i in the margin (e.g. in one globular jasper) points to a formation by silification, whereas higher t _i in the center indicates a formation by the filling up of cavities and veins.
6. The variation in t _i of microcrystalline quartzes and the comparison of these t _i ? with those of associated low-temperature cristobalite shows a connection between temperatures of formation and inversion: samples with low t _i (i.e. with a great number of defects) should be formed at low temperatures, that is by sedimentary or diagenetic processes, and samples with t _i above 570° C (i.e. nearly without defects in the structure) should have crystallized out of hydrothermal solutions. The weak inversion peaks below 570° which in d.t.a. curves often appear besides a main peak at 570° C represent the small amount of diagenetically formed microcrystalline quartz with a large degree of defect character.
