Results are given of a programme of K-Ar age determinations from an equatorial weathering profile beneath the Mid-Jurassic unconformitiy of Anøya, northern Norway. A model is presented where the original age of weathering is considered as Lower Carboniferous with partial resetting of ages during subsequent diagenesis. It is concluded that the Kaolinite of the weathering profile became a closed system of⁴⁰Ar diffusion in late Triassic times, and that a sufficient thickness of Mesozoic-Tertiary strata was never developed to occasion the resetting of the ages. The implication of the results is that a former thick cover of Upper Palaezoic age formerly existed in the region which was effectively removed by erosion in late Triassic — early Jurassic times. The results of the study are reviewed in a context of North Atlantic palaeogeographical evolution.

Zusammenfassung Aus einem fossilen Bodenprofil unterhalb der mitteljurassischen Diskordanz in Nordnorwegen wurden K-Ar-Alter bestimmt, die auf eine Verwitterung während des Unterkarbons hinweisen. Während der folgenden Diagenese sind die Alter teilweise neu eingestellt worden. Dabei zeigt sich, daß der Kaolinite des ursprünglichen Bodenprofils erst ab Obertrias einem für Ar⁴⁰-Diffusion geschlossenen System angehört. Es folgt weiter, daß während des Mesozoikums und Tertiärs keine größere Sedimentbedeckung mehr über diesen Profilen möglich war, wohingegen eine erhebliche Mächtigkeit von jungpaläozoischen Sedimenten ehedem vorlag, die während der Obertrias abgetragen wurde. Diese Beobachtungen können mit der paläogeographischen Entwicklung des Nord-Atlantik in Zusammenhang gebracht werden.

Résumé On a déterminé les âges K-Ar, donnés par un sol d'alteration formé pendant le Carbonifère inférieur et sous-jacent à la discordance du jurassique moyen, au nord de la Norvège. Les âges ont été en partie de nouveau déterminés, lors des diagénèses suivantes. Il en ressort que la Kaolinite du profil du sol originel n'appartient à un système fermé de diffusion Ar⁴⁰ qu'à partir du Trias supérieur. Il s'ensuit qu'un recouvrement sédimentaire épais n'a pu se déposer sur ce profil au cours du Secondaire et du Tertiaire, tandis qu'une épaisseur considérable de sédiments du Paléozoique supérieur existait, enlevès ensuite par érosion au Trias supérieur. Ces observations peuvent être mises en rapport avec le développement paléogéographique de l'Atlantique-Nord.

Variation in si4+-content of phengites through a three stage deformation sequence     

Clive A. Boulter  Arne Råheim 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1974,48(1):57-71

Three important phases of deformation (D₁-D₃) affect the Precambrian metamorphic rocks of the Strathgordon region, S.W. Tasmania. Textural analysis has related phengite development to the deformation events in quartz + phengite phyllites. Phengite chemistry suggests a prograde metamorphic history at about 4 kb from 400°C at D₁ to 450°C at D₂. The significant feature of this work is that a sharp break in conditions, shown by a marked change in the composition of the phengites, occurs from D₂ to D₃, the latter taking place at about 250°C and at a pressure <4 kb. A pronounced hiatus in the deformation history is indicated for the D₂/D₃ interval. During D₃ water was introduced.  相似文献   

Avalanche Run-Out on Counter-Slopes     

Arne Moe  Sigrid Wieshofer  Steinar Bakkehøi  Ulrik Domaas 《Surveys in Geophysics》2003,24(5-6):617-631

Counter-slopes in avalanche paths influence avalanche flow in similarways as defence structures. Measurements and calculations of run-outon such slopes will improve our understanding of retaining damdesign. We have studied three different, well described avalancheevents; for each case we have calculated the run-out distance usingthe Noren, Irgens and Schieldrops continuum model (NIS), adjustingthe parameters to fit the simulated avalancheto the observed one. Using the same parameters, the run-out onidentical terrain, but without counter-slope, is computed. Comparisonbetween the energy dissipation in these different cases tells us whichtopography most efficiently retards an avalanche. With a smoothly curved valley bottom, the energy dissipation at agiven point on the opposite slope is less than on a flatrun-out. The explanation to this is that, when gravity retards anavalanche, a smaller portion of the energy loss is due to dissipationfrom viscous (velocity dependent) friction. When the avalanche travelsover a retaining dam, with much smaller curvature radii, a significantportion of the energy is dissipated. The consequence of this is that defence structures are not sodependent on the counter-slope inclination as on the curvature radiusin the transition to up-gradient. Further, introduction of acounter-slope in an avalanche path may conserve energy rather thancausing dissipation – if the inclination is not altered abruptlyenough. If the counter-slope is smooth, and not large enough tocompletely stop the avalanche, it will not reduce destructive energyon the downstream side. In fact, the destructive energy may bepartially conserved until the run-out.  相似文献   

Shear-wave splitting beneath the Snake River Plain suggests a mantle upwelling beneath eastern Nevada, USA   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The Snake River Plain (SRP), a 90-km-wide topographic depression in southern Idaho, is a topographically anomalous feature in the western U.S. Previous seismic studies focused on the northeastern SRP to study its relationship with the Yellowstone hotspot. We present new teleseismic shear-wave splitting data from six broadband seismic stations deployed along the axis of the SRP from June 2000 to September 2001. We also analyze splitting at HLID, a permanent station of the National Seismic Network located ∼100 km north of the plain. Splitting of individual teleseismic phases is consistent at all stations within 2σ errors, and we favor the interpretation of anisotropy with a single horizontal fast axis, although a dipping-axis interpretation is statistically permitted at two of the stations. Our station fast directions, as well as shear-wave splitting data from numerous other stations throughout the Basin and Range, are best explained by a lattice preferred orientation of olivine due to horizontal shear along the base of the plate associated with the gravitational spreading of buoyant plume-like upwelling material beneath eastern Nevada into a southwestward flowing asthenosphere (with respect to a fixed hotspot reference frame). This parabolic asthenospheric flow (PAF) model for the Great Basin is attractive because it explains the observed high elevations, high mantle buoyancy, low-velocity anomaly beneath eastern Nevada, high heat flow, and depleted geochemistry of some erupted basalts. The lack of Pliocene-Recent major volcanism in eastern Nevada suggests that a significant amount of the buoyancy flux is due to compositional buoyancy. Our splitting station delay times vary in a way not predicted by the PAF model, and can be explained by: a zone of aligned magma-filled lenses and/or partially molten dikes beneath the SRP lithosphere, a depleted olivine-rich residuum underneath the sides of the eastern SRP, and/or the effect of lateral lower crustal flow from beneath the eSRP toward its adjacent flanks.  相似文献

On a relativistic geodesy   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：3  

Arne Bjerhammar 《Journal of Geodesy》1985,59(3):207-220

Theoretical formulas for relativistic estimation of geopotential differences are given. The relativistic geoid is defined. A technique for measuring potential differences with high precision clocks (masers or equivalent) is described. The method can operate over arbitrary terrestrial distances. Two clocks are used. The drift between the clocks is estimated by using closed loops. The clocks are used in an operational mode during the whole measuring interval. No satellite links are necessary but VLBI, GPS and ANIK-links can be used in combination with the method.  相似文献   

Wave-trains in the solar wind     

Dirk J. Olbers  Arne K. Richter 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1973,20(2):373-389

The main results of Whitham's averaged Lagrangian method for the treatment of linear wave-trains in a weakly inhomogeneous, moving medium are presented briefly. This method is then applied to an ideal, isotropic, one-fluid plasma which can be taken for the lowest order approximation for the interplanetary solar wind expansion.  相似文献   

The effect of land surface changes on Eemian climate     

Guy Schurgers  Uwe Mikolajewicz  Matthias Gröger  Ernst Maier-Reimer  Miren Vizcaíno  Arne Winguth 《Climate Dynamics》2007,29(4):357-373

Transient experiments for the Eemian (128–113 ky BP) were performed with a complex, coupled earth system model, including atmosphere, ocean, terrestrial biosphere and marine biogeochemistry. In order to investigate the effect of land surface parameters (background albedo, vegetation and tree fraction and roughness length) on the simulated changes during the Eemian, simulations with interactive coupling between climate and vegetation were compared with additional experiments in which these feedbacks were suppressed. The experiments show that the influence of land surface on climate is mainly caused by changes in the albedo. For the northern hemisphere high latitudes, land surface albedo is changed partially due to the direct albedo effect of the conversion of grasses into forest, but the indirect effect of forests on snow albedo appears to be the major factor influencing the total absorption of solar radiation. The Western Sahara region experiences large changes in land surface albedo due to the appearance of vegetation between 128 and 120 ky BP. These local land surface albedo changes can be as much as 20%, thereby affecting the local as well as the global energy balance. On a global scale, latent heat loss over land increases more than 10% for 126 ky BP compared to present-day.  相似文献

New insights into lake responses to rapid climate change: the Younger Dryas in Lake Gościąż, central Poland     

Daniela Müller  Rik Tjallingii  Mateusz Płóciennik  Tomi P. Luoto  Bartosz Kotrys  Birgit Plessen  Arne Ramisch  Markus J. Schwab  Mirosław Błaszkiewicz  Michał Słowiński  Achim Brauer 《Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research》2021,50(2):535-555

The sediment profile from Lake Gościąż in central Poland comprises a continuous, seasonally resolved and exceptionally well-preserved archive of the Younger Dryas (YD) climate variation. This provides a unique opportunity for detailed investigation of lake system responses during periods of rapid climate cooling (YD onset) and warming (YD termination). The new varve record of Lake Gościąż presented here spans 1662 years from the late Allerød (AL) to the early Preboreal (PB). Microscopic varve counting provides an independent chronology with a YD duration of 1149+14/–22 years, which confirms previous results of 1140±40 years. We link stable oxygen isotopes and chironomid-based air temperature reconstructions with the response of various geochemical and varve microfacies proxies especially focusing on the onset and termination of the YD. Cooling at the YD onset lasted ~180 years, which is about a century longer than the terminal warming that was completed in ~70 years. During the AL/YD transition, environmental proxy data lagged the onset of cooling by ~90 years and revealed an increase of lake productivity and internal lake re-suspension as well as slightly higher detrital sediment input. In contrast, rapid warming and environmental changes during the YD/PB transition occurred simultaneously. However, initial changes such as declining diatom deposition and detrital input occurred already a few centuries before the rapid warming at the YD/PB transition. These environmental changes likely reflect a gradual increase in summer air temperatures already during the YD. Our data indicate complex and differing environmental responses to the major climate changes related to the YD, which involve different proxy sensitivities and threshold processes.  相似文献
