Morphology and sedimentology of a high-arctic esker system: Vegbreen, Svalbard     

DAVID HUDDART  MATTHEW R. BENNETT  NEIL F. GLASSER 《Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research》1999,28(2):253-273

Although eskers are frequently described glaciofluvial landforms, they are poorly understood. To assist with the interpretation of Pleistocene examples, modern analogue data are required. This paper documents the morphology, sedimentology and formation of a 650 m long esker system in front of the high-arctic glacier Vegbreen in Svalbard. The esker is located between the Neoglacial maximum and the present ice front and appears to have formed both as a supraglacial trough-fill and as a channel/conduit-fill along the suture formed by two confluent glacier lobes. A range of sedimentary facies is preserved within this ridge system providing evidence for braided rivers, ephemeral lakes, episodic flow regimes and sediment gravity flows. This case study provides an important analogue for glaciofluvial sedimentation between retreating ice lobes.  相似文献

The role of the microbial loop in Antarctic pelagic ecosystems     

FAROOQ AZAM  DAVID C. SMITH  JAMES T. HOLLIBAUGH 《Polar research》1991,10(1):239-244

The Paradigm pelagic food web organization in Antarctic waters is undergoing fundamental revision evidence that large fractions of material and energy flow through the microbial food web. because of the unique Antarctic ecosystem conditions, the microbial food web performs some roles that are fundamentally different from those in oligotrophic temperate and tropical waters: 1) during winter, bacterial production, at the expense of slow-turnover DOM (dissolved organic matter) from the previous summer, could be a significant factor in the survival of over wintering animal populations; 2) microbial regeneration of ammonium in nitrate-replete Antarctic waters may spare the reductants necessary for nitrate assimilation and thus enhance primary productivity of deep-mixed light-limited phytoplankton; and 3) the small diatoms and phytoflagellates which dominate the Antarctic pelagic primary production are apparently directly digestible by the metazoan herbivores, whereas cyanobacteria which dominate the primary productivity in lower latitude oligotrophic waters are not digestible by the metazoan herbivores. These roles performed by the microbial loop may, in part, explain why Antarctic waters, in contrast to the lower latitude oligotrophic waters, have high levels of tertiary productivity despite low primary productivity.  相似文献

The pre-Landnám fauna of Iceland: a palaeontological contribution     

PAUL C. BUCKLAND  DAVID W. PERRY  GÍSLI M. GISLASON  REW J. DUGMORE 《Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research》1986,15(2):173-184

The origins of the Icelandic biota are discussed with particular reference to recent work on Coleopteran (beetle) and Trichopteran (caddis fly) fossils from deposits which are earlier than the arrival of man (Landnám) in the country. The hypothesis of survival through Pleistocene glaciations in refugia is discounted in favour of immigration on ice floes during Late Glacial/Early Holocene deglaciation. Consideration of the nature of the insect fauna and the extent of Late Glacial ice sheets, with the evidence from ocean circulation patterns, suggests a source area in the fjords of south-west Norway. The model is applicable to the origins of the biota on all the North Atlantic islands, east of the Davis Strait.  相似文献   

THE FREE-WILSON PARADIGM REDUX:SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FREE-WILSON COEFFICIENTS,INSIGNIFICANCE OF COEFFICIENT ‘UNCERTAINTIES’ AND STATISTICAL SINS     

DAVID LEE DUEWER 《地理学报(英文版)》1990,(4)

The Free-Wilson paradigm is an established and powerful tool for quantitatively relating activity withchemical structure.Current implementations of the paradigm,however,are flawed both conceptually andin execution.As part of an attempt to more fully realize the promise of the paradigm,it was necessaryto examine these limitations in detail.This report introduces a robust,theory-founded Free-Wilson implementation:stepwise principalcomponents regression analysis(SPCRA).SPCRA is computationally superior to previousimplementations but does not in itself correct their conceptual flaws.The development of SPCRA did,however,facilitate derivation of a simple and chemically significantinterpretation of the Free-Wilson structure-activity model.A number of statistical aspects of this modelcommonly misused in previous applications are discussed at length.These discussions provide criticalbackground for the development of an alternative implementation of the Free-Wilson paradigm.  相似文献

Vertical profiles of biospheric and fossil fuel-derived CO₂ and fossil fuel CO₂ : CO ratios from airborne measurements of Δ¹⁴C, CO₂ and CO above Colorado, USA     

By HEATHER D. GRAVEN †  BRITTON B. STEPHENS  THOMAS P. GUILDERSON  TERESA L. CAMPOS  DAVID S. SCHIMEL  J. ELLIOTT CAMPBELL  RALPH F. KEELING 《Tellus. Series B, Chemical and physical meteorology》2009,61(3):536-546

Measurements of  Δ¹⁴C  in atmospheric CO₂ are an effective method of separating CO₂ additions from fossil fuel and biospheric sources or sinks of CO₂. We illustrate this technique with vertical profiles of CO₂ and  Δ¹⁴C  analysed in whole air flask samples collected above Colorado, USA in May and July 2004. Comparison of lower tropospheric composition to cleaner air at higher altitudes (>5 km) revealed considerable additions from respiration in the morning in both urban and rural locations. Afternoon concentrations were mainly governed by fossil fuel emissions and boundary layer depth, also showing net biospheric CO₂ uptake in some cases. We estimate local industrial CO₂:CO emission ratios using in situ measurements of CO concentration. Ratios are found to vary by 100% and average 57 mole CO₂:1 mole CO, higher than expected from emissions inventories. Uncertainty in CO₂ from different sources was ±1.1 to ±4.1 ppm for addition or uptake of −4.6 to 55.8 ppm, limited by  Δ¹⁴C  measurement precision and uncertainty in background  Δ¹⁴C  and CO₂ levels.  相似文献
