Raman spectra were acquired on a series of natural and synthetic sulfide minerals, commonly found in enstatite meteorites: oldhamite (CaS), niningerite or keilite ((Mg,Fe)S), alabandite (MnS), troilite (FeS), and daubreelite (Cr₂FeS₄). Natural samples come from three enstatite chondrites, three aubrites, and one anomalous ungrouped enstatite meteorite. Synthetic samples range from pure endmembers (CaS, FeS, MgS) to complex solid solutions (Fe, Mg, Ca)S. The main Raman peaks are localized at 225, 285, 360, and 470 cm^?1 for the Mg‐rich sulfides; at 185, 205, and 285 cm^?1 for the Ca‐rich sulfides; at 250, 370, and 580 cm^?1 for the Mn‐rich sulfides; at 255, 290, and 365 cm^?1 for the Cr‐rich sulfides; and at 290 and 335 cm^?1 for troilite with, occasionally, an extra peak at 240 cm^?1. A peak at 160 cm^?1 is present in all Raman spectra and cannot be used to discriminate between the different sulfide compositions. According to group theory, none of the cubic monosulfides oldhamite, niningerite, or alabandite should present first‐order Raman spectra because of their ideal rocksalt structure. The occurrence of broad Raman peaks is tentatively explained by local breaking of symmetry rules. Measurements compare well with the infrared frequencies calculated from first‐principles calculations. Raman spectra arise from activation of certain vibrational modes due to clustering in the solid solutions or to coupling with electronic transitions in semiconductor sulfides.  相似文献   

The significance of cryoturbation phenomena in environmental reconstruction     

Brigitte Van Vliet-Lanoë 《第四纪科学杂志》1988,3(1):85-96

Cryoturbation results mainly from differential heave related to (1) drainage and thermal conditions and (2) frost susceptibility. Loadcasting and cryostatic pressures are restricted to wet soils such as pure silt or silty sand. The translocation of fine particles resulting from repeated freezing and thawing can promote frost susceptibility in a previously non-susceptible material, as well as a loss in stability of the surface horizons (liquefaction). Small and metric scale cryoturbations can be explained by this process. Large scale deformations and injections may be related to abnormal liquefaction not necessarily associated with frost. Regular patterns are associated with fissure nets. Upturned injections in a downslope direction attest to cryoturbation and frost creep. A lowering of the water table promotes the formation of drop-like cryoturbations, most of which can be related to seasonal frost in imperfectly to poorly drained soils. They are not indicative of permafrost except in well drained situations or in the case of flat bottomed involutions.  相似文献   

Complexes dunaires et tourbeux holocènes du littoral du Nord de la France     

Murielle Meurisse  Brigitte Van Vliet-Lanoë  Brigitte Talon  Philippe Recourt 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2005,337(7):675-684

This survey of the coastal dunes of northern France is based on stratigraphy, ¹⁴C dating, sedimentology and morphology applied for palaeoclimatic and palaeodynamic purpose. The dunes rest on a Flandrian prism sealed by Atlantic peats grown backward from a subboreal dune ridge. Two historical building phases are recorded: the late Roman dunes and the 13th century dunes. These events are separated by pedogenesis. Contribution of reworked fluvial sands also records the recent climatic degradation, with an increased storminess (Little Ice Age) associated with more efficient erosion (soil erosion and floods). The dunes of Picardy also record the Global Warming: their morphologies attest a shift from parabolic into longitudinal, by coupling storminess and sea-level rise. To cite this article: M.

Chemical Characterisation of the USGS Reference Glasses GSA-1G, GSC-1G, GSD-1G, GSE-1G, BCR-2G, BHVO-2G and BIR-1G Using EPMA, ID-TIMS, ID-ICP-MS and LA-ICP-MS   总被引：6，自引：2，他引：6

The USGS reference glasses GSA-1G, GSC-1G, GSD-1G, GSE-1G, BCR-2G, BHVO-2G and BIR-1G were investigated by different analytical techniques. All these materials have a geological (basaltic) matrix and are therefore useful in igneous geochemistry as matrix-matched reference materials for microanalytical techniques. The new GS glasses have trace elements in groups at concentration levels of about < 0.01, 5, 50 and 500 μg g^-1. Their major element compositions have been determined by EPMA, and trace elements have been analysed by LA-ICP-MS and two isotope dilution techniques using TIMS and ICP-MS. EPMA and LA-ICP-MS analyses indicated that the USGS reference glasses are homogeneous at the μm to mm scale with respect to major (variations < 1-2%) and most trace elements (variations 1-4%). Trace element data obtained from the different analytical techniques agreed within an uncertainty of 1-5%, indicating that between method results are comparable. Therefore, the preliminary working values for the four USGS GS glasses calculated from these data have a low level of uncertainty.  相似文献   

GeoReM: A New Geochemical Database for Reference Materials and Isotopic Standards   总被引：13，自引：2，他引：13  

Klaus Peter Jochum  Uwe Nohl  Kirstin Herwig  Esin Lammel  Brigitte Stoll  Albrecht W. Hofmann 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2005,29(3):333-338

We have developed a new database named GeoReM ( http://georem.mpch-mainz.gwdg.de ) for reference materials and isotopic standards of geochemical and mineralogical interest. Reference samples include rock powders originating from the USGS, GSJ, GIT-IWG, synthetic and natural reference glasses originating from NIST, USGS, MPI-DING, as well as mineral (e.g., 91500 zircon), isotopic (e.g., La Jolla, E&A, NIST SRM 981), river water and seawater reference materials. GeoReM is a relational database, which strongly follows the concept of the three EARTHCHEM databases. It contains published analytical and compilation values (major and trace element concentrations, radiogenic and stable isotope ratios), important metadata about the analytical values, such as uncertainty, uncertainty type, method and laboratory. Sample information and references are also included. Three different ways of interrogating the database are possible: (1) sample names or material types, (2) chemical criteria and (3) bibliography. Some typical applications are described. GeoReM currently (October 2005) contains more than 750 geological reference materials, 6000 individual sets of results and references to 650 publications.  相似文献

Effects of Oxygen Loss on Carbon Processing and Heterotrophic Prokaryotes from an Estuarine Ecosystem: Results from Stable Isotope Probing and Cytometry Analyses     

Rémy D. Tadonléké  Thomas Pollet  Pieter Van Rijswijk  Brigitte Leberre  Jack J. Middelburg 《Estuaries and Coasts》2016,39(4):992-1005

Many aquatic ecosystems are experiencing a decline in their oxygen (O₂) content and this is predicted to continue. Implications of this change on several properties of bacterioplankton (heterotrophic prokaryotes) remain however are poorly known. In this study, oxic samples (～170 μM O₂?=?controls) from an oligohaline region of the Scheldt Estuary were purged with N₂ to yield low-O₂ samples (～69 μM O₂?=?treatments); all were amended with ¹³C-glucose and incubated in dark to examine carbon incorporation and cell size of heterotrophic prokaryotes, and relationships between organic matter (OM) degradation and phosphate (P) availability in waters following O₂ loss. Stable isotope (¹³C) probing of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) and flow cytometry were used. In samples that have experienced O₂ loss, PLFA biomass became higher, prokaryotic cells had significantly larger size and higher nucleic acid content, but P concentrations was lower, compared to controls. P concentration and OM degradation were positively related in controls, but uncoupled in low-O₂ samples. Moreover, the dominant PLFA 16:1ω7c (likely mainly from Gram-negative bacteria) and the nucleic acid content of heterotrophic prokaryotic cells in low-O₂ samples explained (62–72 %) differences between controls and low-O₂ samples in P amounts. Shortly after incubations began, low-O₂ samples had consistently lower bacterial PLFA ¹³C-enrichments, suggesting involvement of facultatively anaerobic metabolism in carbon incorporation, and supporting the view that this metabolic pathway is widespread among pelagic bacteria in coastal nutrient-rich ecosystems. Estimates based on ¹³C-enrichment of PLFAs indicated that grazing by protozoa on some bacteria was stronger in low-O₂ samples than in controls, suggesting that the grazing pressure on some heterotrophic prokaryotes may increase at the onset of O₂ deficiency in nutrient-rich aquatic systems. These findings also suggest that physiological responses of heterotrophic prokaryotes to O₂ loss in such ecosystems include increases in cell activity, high carbon incorporation, and possibly phosphorus retention by cells that may contribute to reduce phosphate availability in waters.  相似文献   

Influence of Hydrological Regime in Determining the Response of Macroalgal Blooms to Nutrient Loading in Two Irish Estuaries     

Sorcha?Ní LongphuirtEmail author  Shane?O’Boyle  Robert?Wilkes  Tomasz?Dabrowski  Dagmar?Brigitte?Stengel 《Estuaries and Coasts》2016,39(2):478-494

Eutrophication and the development of persistent opportunistic macroalgal blooms are recognised as one of the main detrimental effects of increased anthropogenic pressures on estuarine and coastal systems. This study aimed to highlight the interplay between pressures and controlling physical factors on ecosystem functioning. The hypothesis that hydrological regime can control the growth of opportunistic macroalgae was tested with the study of two Irish estuaries, the Argideen and the Blackwater, with similar nutrient loading sources but divergent hydrological regimes. Seasonal monitoring data was initially examination, while the application of a pre-existing box model allowed a further analysis of the influence of residence time and nutrient load modifications on macroalgal growth. Seasonal oscillations in monitored river flow rates altered nutrient transfer from the catchments to the estuaries in both cases, as is shown through differences between winter and summer nutrient concentrations. In the Argideen, however, the relative contribution of phosphorus (P) from adjacent marine waters was high due to the shorter residence times and greater influx of marine water into the estuary. Modelling studies showed that in the Argideen Estuary, P load reduction would have potentially minimal impact on macroalgal growth due to the shorter residence time which increased the influx of P from marine sources. Nitrogen (N) load reduction of 60 % had a significant, albeit limited, impact on macroalgae and was insufficient in achieving the environmental objectives for this waterbody. For the more river-dominated Blackwater Estuary, modelled reductions in P resulted in a considerable decrease in biomass. Any further P decreases would accentuate the existing disparity in estuarine N:P ratios with possible repercussions for N transport to the coastal system. Hence, the hydrological complexity of estuarine systems demonstrated dictates that a portfolio of separate, but complimentary, management approaches may be required to address eutrophication in these estuaries.  相似文献   

Suitability of Mn‐ and Fe‐Rich Reference Materials for Microanalytical Research          下载免费PDF全文

Manganese‐ and iron‐rich materials are of major geoscientific and economic interest, many of which contain microscopic features that provide valuable information. To obtain accurate results, a homogeneous microanalytical reference material for calibration is needed. Several researchers have used the Mn‐ and Fe‐rich RMs, JMn‐1, NOD‐A‐1, NOD‐P‐1 and FeMn‐1, for this purpose; therefore, they were tested in this study to determine their suitability for microanalysis. Their homogeneity was investigated by laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) with two different types of lasers (nano‐ and femtosecond), with spot and line scan analyses and with different operating parameters, such as spot size, pulse repetition rate and fluence. As the established manganese nodule RMs revealed inhomogeneities for picogram to microgram test portions, we also investigated the new synthetic Fe‐ and Mn‐rich RM, FeMnOx‐1. FeMnOx‐1 was found to be homogeneous for large (ø 40 μm: 2% RSD repeatability) and small (ø 8–10 μm: 10% RSD repeatability) spot sizes. This homogeneity is in the range of the homogeneous NIST SRM 610 and GSE‐1G reference glasses. Furthermore, FeMnOx‐1 revealed a large‐scale homogeneity within uncertainties of a few per cent, using test portions in the ng range, when measuring four individual mounts of this material.  相似文献
