Extent and magnitude of copper contamination in marinas of the San Diego region, California, USA     

Schiff K  Brown J  Diehl D  Greenstein D 《Marine pollution bulletin》2007,54(3):322-328

Marinas are areas of special water quality concern because of the potential for pollutant accumulation within their protected waters. Perhaps the largest contaminant source to marinas is antifouling paints that leach copper to prevent the growth of encrusting organisms on vessel bottoms. Very little monitoring of marinas is typically conducted despite the potential environmental risk, particularly in the San Diego region of California, USA where as many as 17,000 recreational vessels are berthed. The objective of this study was twofold: (1) determine the extent and magnitude of dissolved copper concentrations in marinas throughout the San Diego region, and (2) determine if elevated copper concentrations in marinas of the San Diego region are resulting in adverse biological impacts. A probabilistic study design was used to sample water column copper concentrations and toxicity (using Mytilus galloprovincialis) at 30 stations. Results indicated that exceedence of state water quality objectives was widespread (86% of marina area), but that toxicity was much less prevalent (21% of marina area). Toxicity identification evaluations (TIEs) conducted at the most toxic sites indicated that toxicity was largely due to trace metals, most likely copper. Toxicity was reduced using TIE treatments that chelated trace metals such as cation exchange column, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and sodium thiosulfate (STS). Moreover, increasing dissolved copper concentrations correlated with increasing toxicity and these copper concentrations were high enough to account for virtually all of the observed toxicity.  相似文献   

Helium isotopic ratio in Vulcano island fumaroles: temporal variations in shallow level mixing and deep magmatic supply     

Dario Tedesco  Gerarda Miele  Yuji Sano  Jean Paul Toutain 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1995,64(1-2)

Intensive gas emanations occur throughout the island of Vulcano, Italy. Sharp fluctuations recorded in the crater gas composition suggest the presence of two separate volcanic reservoirs and continuous mixing with another source, “crustal” waters. This mixing differs between the beach and crater fumaroles. Gas samples from three crater fumaroles with temperatures ranging from 200 to 550 ° C were sampled repeatedly over a one year period. During the same interval of time, six samples from submarine and subaerial beach fumaroles and water well gases were also sampled. Gases from one crater fumarole (F5) showed variations of (³He/⁴He)_fumarole to (³He/⁴He)_air between 5 and 6 correlated with variations of several chemical species. High ³He/⁴He ratios for the beach fluids, similar to those of crater fluids, suggest the existence of a unique large magmatic reservoir at depth feeding both the crater and beach intermediate reservoirs. However, temporal changes clearly indicate variable degrees of fluids mixing, and the geographic distribution of the ³He/⁴He ratios as well as the chemical composition of the fluids suggest the existence between the magma reservoir and the surface of two intermediate different reservoirs, independently related to crater and to beach fumaroles.  相似文献   

Estimates of site seismicity rates using ill-defined macroseismic data   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Luca Magri  Marco Mucciarelli  Dario Albarello 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1994,143(4):617-632

A new approach to the problem of site seismic hazard analysis is proposed, based on intensity data affected by uncertainties. This approach takes into account the ordinal and discrete character of intensities, trying to avoid misleading results due to the assumption that intensity can be treated as a real number (continuous distribution estimators, attenuation relationships, etc.). The proposed formulation is based on the use of a distribution function describing, for each earthquake, the probability that site seismic effects can be described by each possible intensity value. In order to obtain site hazard estimates where local data are lacking, the dependence of this distribution function with the distance from the macroseismic epicenter and with epicentral intensity is examined. A methodology has been developed for the purpose of combining such probabilities and estimating site seismicity rates which takes into account the effect of uncertainties involved in this kind of analysis. An application of this approach is described and discussed.  相似文献   

Seismic hazard of Bulgaria     

Ivanka Orozova-Stanishkova  Dario Slejko 《Natural Hazards》1994,9(1-2):247-271

A simplified seismotectonic model is proposed for Bulgaria by introducing generalized seismogenic areas containing systems of complex geometry faults. A tectonic scheme, which considers the main faults only, is then derived from this. The assessment of the regional seismic hazard is done using different approaches: the Gumbel, the Cornell, and the fault rupture model methods. A series of relations among seismological parameters are derived from the available data. The results obtained by the different approaches are similar: the most dangerous area is the Struma zone, located in southwestern Bulgaria.  相似文献   

An observational study of heat fluxes and their relationships with net radiation     

Dario Camuffo  Adriana Bernardi 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1982,23(3):359-368

Experimental evidence indicates that the diurnal behaviour of the fluxes of heat into the ground and into the atmosphere versus the net flux of radiation can be modelled by closed curves, the hourly values folowing one another in either a clockwise or counter clockfashion. A general formulation to express the different heat fluxes as a function of net radiation is proposed. This relationship between the different heat fluxes and can be expressed as a sum of three terms: the first indicates a direct proportionality to , the second gives the deviation from linearity and depends on /t, and the third gives the value of the flux when = 0. The formulae are then expressed as a function of time and the ratios between the heat fluxes and are evaluated. A comparison with the approximations generally used shows that the latter may be considered as particular cases of the more general equations proposed here.  相似文献

Cumulate-like textures and chemical relationships in the Bressanone (Brixen) Granodiorite (Eastern Alps, Italy)— A new genetic approach     

Dario Visona'' 《Chemical Geology》1983,40(3-4):279-292

The shallow level pluton of Bressanone is a Late Hercynian multiple intrusion into the South Alpine basement of the Eastern Alps. Most of this complex is composed of anatectic granodiorites and granites intruded in separate stocks 282 ± 14 Ma ago; gabbros and leucogranites occur in smaller quantities. The chronological intrusion sequence is: layered gabbro, granodiorites and granites, two-mica cordierite leucogranite and fayalite leucogranites.

The granodiorites and granites may contain hornblende or garnet. The hornblende and garnet rocks differ both in chemistry and (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i ratio, and may be identified as “I-type” and “S-type”, respectively, according to the Chappell-White classification.

Textural and chemical patterns show that the granites may be linked to the granodiorites by cumulate-like processes. The granodiorite → granite transition, attributed to filter pressing, expresses an increase in the liquid/xenolith ratio in a magma where the liquid fraction was a minimum melt and the solid fraction was restitic material.  相似文献
