During the past decade, knowledge about the ecology and the environment of giant carbonate mounds has been growing continuously. However, still little is known about their growth dynamics. Three gravity cores from Galway Mound, Belgica Mound Province in the Porcupine Seabight off Ireland, were investigated for their sedimentological, geophysical and geochemical properties to get insight into the long-term development of this cold-water coral covered carbonate mound. These data were supplemented by radiometric age determinations on planktonic foraminifera and coral skeletons. The records from three different settings on Galway Mound reveal a coherent growth history that in general is similar to what is known from other carbonate mounds at the Irish margin. However, whereas other cores are often disturbed by numerous and not correlateable hiatuses, Galway Mound, in contrast, appears to be characterised by only one major hiatus representing a time gap of ~ 250 kyr. Several mechanisms are discussed in this study as possible causes for the observed stratigraphic record at Galway Mound. The most likely explanation is that the hiatus has its origin in a major mass wasting event on an instable, possibly glacial, unit that could have acted as a slip plane. The overall Late Quaternary growth history of Galway Mound fits well into existing cyclical mound development models, pointing to Galway Mound being an ‘actively growing’ mound (“coral bank stage”) at present. 相似文献

Cold‐water coral ecosystems present common carbonate factories along the Atlantic continental margins, where they can form large reef structures. There is increasing knowledge on their ecology, molecular genetics, environmental controls and threats available. However, information on their carbo‐nate production and accumulation is still very limited, even though this information is essential for their evaluation as carbonate sinks. The aim of this study is to provide high‐resolution reef aggradation and carbonate accumulation rates for Norwegian cold‐water coral reefs from various settings (sunds, inner shelf and shelf margin). Furthermore, it introduces a new approach for the evaluation of the cold‐water coral preservation within cold‐water coral deposits by computed tomography analysis. This approach allows the differentiation of various kinds of cold‐water coral deposits by their macrofossil clast size and orientation signature. The obtained results suggest that preservation of cold‐water coral frameworks in living position is favoured by high reef aggradation rates, while preservation of coral rubble prevails by moderate aggradation rates. A high degree of macrofossil fragmentation indicates condensed intervals or unconformities. The observed aggradation rates with up to 1500 cm kyr?1 exhibit the highest rates from cold‐water coral reefs so far. Reef aggradation within the studied cores was restricted to the Early and Late Holocene. Available datings of Norwegian cold‐water corals support this age pattern for other fjords while, on the shelf, cold‐water coral ages are reported additionally from the early Middle Holocene. The obtained mean carbonate accumulation rates of up to 103 g cm?2 kyr?1 exceed previous estimates of cold‐water coral reefs by a factor of two to three and by almost one order of magnitude to adjacent sedimentary environments (shelf, slope and deep sea). Only fjord basins locally exhibit carbonate accumulation rates in the range of the cold‐water coral reefs. Furthermore, cold‐water coral reef carbonate accumulation rates are in the range of tropical reef carbonate accumulation rates. These results clearly suggest the importance of cold‐water coral reefs as local, maybe regional to global, carbonate sinks. 相似文献

Under glacial climates, continental ice sheets such as, e.g., the Greenland Ice Sheet, extended onto the continental shelves and often carved out deep cross-shelf troughs. The sedimentary infill of such troughs commonly is a product of the complex interactions between the ice sheets, largely driving sediment input into the ocean, and the surrounding water masses. Off West Greenland, research has focused on the Disko and Uummannaq troughs, leaving the northerly adjacent Upernavik trough relatively understudied. Hence, neither the chronology of deglaciation nor the details of its postglacial infill are sufficiently well understood. Here, we combine computed tomography image-derived information with geochemical and granulometric data from four sediment cores recovered from the Upernavik trough that point to (i) deglaciation of the mid-shelf probably around 13.4 cal. ka BP that was most likely driven by a northward advection of warmer Atlantic waters during the Bølling–Allerød, (ii) the presence of widespread mass wasting around 8 cal. ka BP on the inner shelf and (iii) the complex interplay between various modes of sediment input, transport and deposition under hemipelagic sedimentation afterwards. While this interplay complicates provenance studies, we identify two major sediment delivery mechanisms that control transport and deposition from four sediment source areas. Through the Early Holocene the relative contributions of sediments from the various sources changed from a predominantly local origin to more southerly sources, mainly driven by decreasing input from the local sources. The integration of relative sediment source contributions with varying sedimentation rates challenges previous studies postulating intensified sediment delivery from the south through a greater influence of the West Greenland Current and highlights the need for the integration of sediment input and transport mechanisms into provenance studies in the area. 相似文献

The bedforms and the local scour at the base of a cylindrical pile were studied in a tidal inlet in the Wadden Sea, southern North Sea, using high-resolution multibeam bathymetry data from four surveys. The observed changes in scour and bedform dimensions were interpreted in terms of hydraulic forcings varying periodically at different time scales. It appears that bedform orientation reacts to changing flow conditions on a semidiurnal basis, whereas bedform height and steepness reflect the spring-neap cycle as well as seasonal signals. The scour depth carries a strong overprint of the semidiurnal tidal cycle, which is at a maximum during the strongest tidal flow. Subtler variations in scour depth can possibly be attributed to the spring-neap tidal cycle. Based on these data on bedform and scour dimensions, correlation functions were established between scour depth and dune height as well as dune length. In measuring the scour depth under mobile bed conditions, establishing the seabed level based on the trough level of the bedforms nearest to the scour proved useful. These findings suggest that the dimensions of bedforms in dynamic equilibrium with prevailing hydraulic flow conditions can be used to estimate scouring in tidal environments. 相似文献

A high-resolution sediment core (sedimentation rate ~2 mm/year) from the German Bight was analysed for its foraminiferal stable oxygen isotope (18O) composition. These data were correlated with instrumental summer sea-surface temperature and salinity data from the nearby island of Helgoland, reaching back 100 years. Comparing the isotope data with the instrumental records reveals a distinct 18O–salinity relationship (18O=0.34×S–9.36; r=0.86) for the German Bight, where salinity is mainly driven by freshwater input from the Elbe River. Thus, these findings provide the possibility for future regional paleosalinity and paleodischarge reconstructions for times far beyond the instrumental timescale. 相似文献

On- and off-mound sediment cores from Propeller Mound (Hovland Mound province, Porcupine Seabight) were analysed to understand
better the evolution of a carbonate mound. The evaluation of benthic foraminiferal assemblages from the off-mound position
helps to determine the changes of the environmental controls on Propeller Mound in glacial and interglacial times. Two different
assemblages describe the Holocene and Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2 and late MIS 3 (∼31 kyr BP). The different assemblages
are related to changes in oceanographic conditions, surface productivity and the waxing and waning of the British Irish Ice
Sheet (BIIS) during the last glacial stages. The interglacial assemblage is related to a higher supply of organic material
and stronger current intensities in water depth of recent coral growth. During the last glaciation the benthic faunas showed
high abundances of cassidulinid species, implying cold bottom waters and a reduced availability of organic matter. High sedimentation
rates and the domination of Elphidium excavatum point to shelf erosion related to sea-level lowering (∼50 m) and the progradation of the BIIS onto the shelf. A different
assemblage described for the on-mound core is dominated by Discanomalina coronata, Gavelinopsis translucens, Planulina ariminensis, Cibicides lobatulus and to a lower degree by Hyrrokkin sarcophaga. These species are only found or show significantly higher relative abundances in on-mound samples and their maximum contribution
in the lower part of the record indicates a higher coral growth density on Propeller Mound in an earlier period. They are
less abundant during the Holocene, however. This dataset portrays the boundary conditions of the habitable range for the cold-water
coral Lophelia pertusa, which dominates the deep-water reefal ecosystem on the upper flanks of Propeller Mound. The growth of this ecosystem occurs
during interglacial and interstadial periods, whereas a retreat of corals is documented in the absence of glacial sediments
on-mound. Glacial conditions with cold intermediate waters, a weak current regime and high sedimentation rates provide an
unfavourable environmental setting for Lophelia corals to grow. A Late Pleistocene decrease is observed in the mound growth for Propeller Mound, which might face its complete
burial in the future, as it already happened to the buried mounds of the Magellan Mound province further north. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Für den Nicoya- bzw. Basalkomplex, zu dem im südlichen Mittelamerika die ältesten bekannten Gesteine gehören, wird eine Einstufung in die höhere Oberkreide (Campan/Maastricht) wahrscheinlich gemacht. Damit unterscheidet sich der Nicoya-Komplex altersmäßig nicht wesentlich von den bisher bekannten oberkretazischen Serien in S-Nicaragua, Costa Rica und W-Panama. Innerhalb der Basalte des Nicoya-Komplexes kommen stellenweise sehr basische und saure magmatische Gesteine vor, bei denen es sich möglicherweise um tertiäre Intrusiva handelt. Kennzeichnend für den Nicoya-Komplex sind Strukturen, die deutlich von der jüngeren NW/SE-Richtung der tertiären Faltenachsen abweichen. Nach bisheriger Kenntnis kann der Nicoya-Komplex als ehemals ozeanische Kruste angesehen werden. Diese Auffassung wirft eine Reihe von ungelösten Problemen auf.
The Nicoya or basement complex, representing the oldest rocks in Southern Central America, seems to be restricted stratigraphically to the late Upper Cretaceous (Campanian/Maestrichtian). Its age is similar to that of the Upper Cretaceous sedimentary series in Southern Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Western Panama. Locally rather basic and acid intrusive rocks occur among the basalts of the Nicoya complex. Possibly they are of Tertiary age. Structures with trends other than those of the Tertiary folds (NW/SE direction) are significant for the Nicoya complex. All known facts lead to the conception that the Nicoya complex may be considered as former oceanic crust. This interpretation, however, implies several unsolved problems.
Résumé Le complexe de Nicoya ou complexe basal, qui représente les roches les plus anciennes de la région Sud de l'Amérique Central, est probablement limité à la fin du Crétacé supérieur (Campanien/Maastrichtien). Son âge correspond à peu près à celui des séries sédimentaires du Crétacé supérieur, qu'on connaît dans le Sud du Nicaragua, à Costa Rica et au Panama Occidental. Parmi les basaltes du complexe de Nicoya se trouvent quelques corps de roches intrusives très acides et basiques, qui sont possiblement part du cycle volcanique du Tertiaire. Le complexe de Nicoya est caractérisé par des structures qui se distinguent des structures tertiaires (avec direction de NW à SE). Les investigations actuelles permettent a interpréter le complexe de Nicoya comme écorce océanique ancienne. Sans doute cette conception soulève plusieurs problèmes à résoudre.

A high-resolution sea surface temperature and paleoproductivity reconstruction on a sedimentary record collected at 36°S off central-south Chile (GeoB 7165-1, 36°33′S, 73°40′W, 797 m water depth, core length 750 cm) indicates that paleoceanographic conditions changed abruptly between 18 and 17 ka. Comparative analysis of several cores along the Chilean continental margin (30°–41°S) suggests that the onset and the pattern of deglacial warming was not uniform off central-south Chile due to the progressive southward migration of the Southern Westerlies and local variations in upwelling. Marine productivity augmented rather abruptly at 13–14 ka, well after the oceanographic changes. We suggest that the late deglacial increase in paleoproductivity off central-south Chile reflects the onset of an active upwelling system bringing nutrient-rich, oxygen-poor Equatorial Subsurface Water to the euphotic zone, and a relatively higher nutrient load of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. During the Last Glacial Maximum, when the Southern Westerlies were located further north, productivity off central-south Chile, in contrast to off northern Chile, was reduced due to direct onshore-blowing winds that prevented coastal upwelling and export production. 相似文献
