The central Jianghan Plain is the semi-closed basin in the middle reaches of Yangtze River. A total of 78 water samples targeting groundwater were collected from 75 sites in this study site, the area between Yangtze River and Han River, including rivers and lakes for temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS) and ion composition measurements. Correlation matrix was used to assess the geochemical and anthropogenic processes. The most confined groundwater was grouped into HCO₃–Ca–Mg, while phreatic groundwater and surface water had a more diversified hydrochemistry. The spatial variation in overall water quality as well as comparison with WHO (World Health Organization) standards for drinking water is illustrated. Mn, As and NO₃ ^? concentrations were found to exceed the allowable limits for drinking water of WHO guidelines, and they also show remarkable spatial variations. Abnormally high nitrate concentration, up to 150–190 mg/l, was found only in phreatic groundwater, which suggested that the nitrate pollution might be caused by agricultural activities. The present study may be helpful in further studies concerning water quality issues in this area where groundwater is a vital source for drinking and other activities.  相似文献   

Evolution des mécanismes d’extension dans le bassin pannonien     

Françoise Bergerat 《Geodinamica Acta》2013,26(2):89-98

Résumé

Le bassin pannonien s’est ouvert en position d’arrière-arc durant et après les derniers stades de l’orogenèse des Carpathes. La distension y a créé, du Badénien au Pannonien (16.5-8 Ma), un dispositif complexe de môles et fossés suivant les directions NE-SW et NW-SE. Les mécanismes d’ouverture des bassins intra-carpathiques correspondent à une évolution structurale en deux temps : (1) développement de décrochements conjugués et initiation de bassins losangiques le long ou à l’intersection de ces décrochements (compression N-S), (2) épisode de rifting (extension E-W).  相似文献   

Tectonic and seismic conditions for changes in spring discharge along the Garni right lateral strike slip fault (Armenian Upland)

Abstract

This study presents the relationship between local seismicity and springs discharge, in which the microseismicity modifies the state of stress of the aquifer matrix and these modifications of the local stress control the aquifer behaviour from an example of a basaltic reservoir crossed by a seismic fault.

Along the right-lateral Garni seismic wrench fault, the distribution in space and time of more than 500 micro-earthquakes has been studied providing a pattern of stress distribution. Together with this tectonic survey, the hydrographs of springs issuing from an aquifer located in basaltic lava flows and crossed by the fault have been gauged for 4 years. According to its tectonic, geologic and hydrodynamic properties, the reservoir has been divided in to several parts. The hydrological behaviour of the reservoir and of each of its parts has been modelled, based on the rainfall and hydrodynamic properties of the basaltic reservoir and of nearby reservoirs.

The model allows us to define the ‘normal behaviour’ of the springs, when their discharge is not affected by an earthquake. Anomalies to the normal hydrometric curves are defined, and correlated to small (M < 3.5) earthquakes along the Garni fault. We propose that the circulation of underground water in the area around the fault depends largely on the fracture pattern of the basalts and the aquifer basement, as pointed out from field observations. Changes in spring discharges are explained by variations in the state of stress around the Garni fault, induced by the alternation of elastic strain and stick-slip movement on the fault, and by creep far from the fault. A model of stress distribution is proposed which explains changes in fracture charateristics before and after earthquakes. © Elsevier, Paris  相似文献   

Coupes équilibrées à travers le massif subalpin de la Chartreuse     

Jean-Louis Mugnier  Réjane Arpin  François Thouvenot 《Geodinamica Acta》2013,26(2):125-137

Résumé

Pour étudier la tectonique des chaînes subalpines du Nord, et proposer un modèle cinématique régional, nous avons utilisé les résultats d’une expérience géophysique réalisée en 1985, et les observations géologiques de surface publiées à ce jour. Ces données ont été analysées de manière à préciser le style tectonique, le positionnement des failles par rapport aux horizons stratigraphiques et le schéma de branchement des failles. La construction simultanée d’une coupe interprétative, d’une coupe restaurée et d’une carte de branchement des failles a permis d’estimer l’amplitude du raccourcissement par la méthode des coupes équilibrées. Au niveau du Nord de la Chartreuse, la valeur minimale du raccourcissement global est de 14 km, 4 km étant associés au système chevauchant du Jura et 10 km à celui du massif des Bornes et des Bauges. Compte tenu des imprécisions existant sur les données utilisées, trois modèles cinématiques, qui correspondent à une plage de raccourcissement comprise entre 14 et 25 km, sont proposés.  相似文献   

Hydrochemical behaviour of dissolved nitrogen and carbon in a headwater stream of the Canadian Shield: relevance of antecedent soil moisture conditions     

Julie M. L. Turgeon  François Courchesne 《水文研究》2008,22(3):327-339

This paper examines the impact of contrasting antecedent soil moisture conditions on the hydrochemical response, here the changes in dissolved nitrogen (NO₃^?, NH₄⁺ and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON)) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, of a first‐order stream during hydrological events. The study was performed in the Hermine, a 5 ha forested watershed of the Canadian Shield. It focused on a series of eight precipitation events (spring, summer and fall) sampled every 2 or 3 h and showing contrasted antecedent moisture conditions. The partition of the eight events between two groups (dry or wet) of antecedent moisture conditions was conducted using a principal component analysis (PCA). The partition was controlled (first axis explained 86% of the variability) by the antecedent streamflow, the streamflow to precipitation ratio Q/P and by the antecedent groundwater depth. The mean H⁺, NO₃^?, NH₄⁺, total dissolved nitrogen and DOC concentrations and electrical conductivity values in the stream were significantly higher following dry antecedent conditions than after wetter conditions had prevailed in the Hermine, although the temporal variability was high (17 to 138%). At the event scale, a significantly higher proportion of the changes in DON, NO₃^?, and DOC concentrations in the stream was explained by temporal variations in discharge compared with the seasonal and annual scales. Two of the key hydrochemical features of the dry events were the synchronous changes in DOC and flow and the frequent negative relationships between discharge and NO₃^?. The DON concentrations were much less responsive than DOC to changes in discharge, whereas NH was not in phase with streamflow. During wet events, the synchronicity between streamflow and DON or NO₃^? was higher than during dry events and discharge and NO₃^? were generally positively linked. Based on these observations, the hydrological behaviour of the Hermine is conceptually compatible with a two‐component model of shallow (DON and DOC rich; variable NO₃^?) and deep (DON and DOC poor; variable NO₃^?) subsurface flow. The high NO₃^? and DOC levels measured at the early stages of dry events reflected the contribution from NO₃^?‐rich groundwaters. The contribution of rapid surface flow on water‐repellent soil materials located close to the stream channel is hypothesized to explain the DOC levels. An understanding of the complex interactions between antecedent soil moisture conditions, the presence of soil nutrients available for leaching and the dynamics of soil water flow paths during storms is essential to explain the fluxes of dissolved nitrogen and carbon in streams of forested watersheds.

Stress sensitivity of stylolite morphology   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Marcus Ebner  Daniel Koehn  Renaud Toussaint  François Renard  Jean Schmittbuhl 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》2009,277(3-4):394-398

Stylolites are rough surfaces that form by localized stress-induced dissolution. Using a set of limestone rock samples collected at different depths from a vertical section in Cirque de Navacelles (France), we study the influence of the lithostatic stress on the stylolites morphology on the basis of a recent morphogenesis model. We measured the roughness of a series of bedding-parallel stylolites and show that their morphology exhibits a scaling invariance with two self-affine scaling regimes separated by a crossover-length (L) at the millimeter scale consistent with previous studies. The importance of the present contribution is to estimate the stylolite formation stress σ from the sample position in the stratigraphic series and compare it to the crossover-length L using the expected relationship: L ～ σ ^?2. We obtained a successful prediction of the crossover behavior and reasonable absolute stress magnitude estimates using relevant parameters: depth of stylolite formation between 300 to 600 m with corresponding normal stress in the range of 10–18 MPa. Accordingly, the stylolite morphology contains a signature of the stress field during formation and we thus suggest that stylolites could be used as paleo-stress gauges of deformation processes in the upper crust.  相似文献   

Preserving the Ocean Circulation: Implications for Climate Policy   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1  

Klaus Keller  Kelvin Tan  François M. M. Morel  David F. Bradford 《Climatic change》2000,47(1-2):17-43

Climate modelers have recognized the possibility of abrupt climate changes caused by a reorganization of the North Atlantic's current pattern (technically known as a thermohaline circulation collapse). This circulation system now warms north-western Europe and transports carbon dioxide to the deep oceans. The posited collapse of this system could produce severe cooling in northwestern Europe, even when general global warming is in progress. In this paper we use a simple integrated assessment model to investigate the optimal policy response to this risk. Adding the constraint of avoiding a thermohaline circulation collapse would significantly reduce the allowable greenhouse gas emissions in the long run along an optimal path. Our analysis implies that relatively small damages associated with a collapse (less than 1% of gross world product) would justify a considerable reduction of future carbon dioxide emissions.  相似文献

Explicit solutions of the three-dimensional inverse problem of dynamics,using the frenet reference frame     

François Puel 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》1992,53(3):207-218

Given a two-parameter of three-dimensional orbits, we construct the unit tangent vector, the normal and the binormal which define the Frenet reference frame. In this frame, by writing that the force is conservative, we explicitly obtain the potential as a function of the energy along the trajectories and of its derivatives.Observatoire de Besançon  相似文献
