A three‐dimensional numerical model of sediment transport,erosion and deposition within a network of channel belts,floodplain and hill slope: extrinsic and intrinsic controls on floodplain dynamics and alluvial architecture     

DEREK KARSSENBERG  JOHN S. BRIDGE 《Sedimentology》2008,55(6):1717-1745

A three‐dimensional numerical model of sediment transport, erosion and deposition within a network of channel belts and associated floodplain is described. Sediment and water supply are defined at the upstream entry point, and base level is defined at the downstream edge of the model. Sediment and water are transported through a network of channels according to the diffusion equation, and each channel has a channel belt with a width that increases in time. The network of channels evolves as a result of channel bifurcation and abandonment (avulsion). The timing and location of channel bifurcation is controlled stochastically as a function of the cross‐valley slope of the floodplain adjacent to the channel belt relative to the down‐valley slope, and of annual flood discharge. A bifurcation develops into an avulsion when the discharge of one of the distributaries falls below a threshold value. The floodplain aggradation rate decreases with distance from the nearest active channel belt. Channel‐belt degradation results in floodplain incision. Extrinsic (extrabasinal, allogenic) and intrinsic (intrabasinal, autogenic) controls on floodplain dynamics and alluvial architecture were modelled, and sequence stratigraphy models were assessed. Input parameters were chosen based on data from the Rhine–Meuse delta. To examine how the model responds to extrinsic controls, the model was run under conditions of changing base level and increasing sediment supply. Rises and falls in base level and increases in sediment supply occurred over 10 000 years. Rising base level caused a wave of aggradation to move up‐valley, until aggradation occurred over the entire valley. Frequency of bifurcations and avulsions increased with rate of base‐level rise and aggradation rate. Channel‐belt width varied with water discharge and the lifespan of the channel belt. Wide, connected channel belts (and high channel‐deposit proportion) occurred around the upstream inflow point because of their high discharge and longevity. Less connected, smaller channel belts occurred further down‐valley. Such alluvial behaviour and architecture is also found in the Rhine–Meuse delta. During base‐level fall, valley erosion occurred, and the incised valley contained a single wide channel belt. During subsequent base‐level rise, a wave of aggradation moved up‐valley, filling the incised valley. Bifurcation and avulsion sites progressively moved upstream. Relatively thin, narrow channel belts bordered and cut into the valley fill. These results differ substantially from existing sequence stratigraphy models. The increase in sediment supply from upstream resulted in an alluvial fan. Most bifurcations and avulsions occurred at the fan apex (nodal avulsion), and channel belts were the widest and the thickest here (giving high channel‐deposit proportion) due to their high discharge and longevity. The width and thickness of channel belts decreased down‐valley due to decreased discharge, longevity and aggradation rate. This behaviour occurs in modern alluvial fans. Intrinsic controls also affect floodplain dynamics and alluvial architecture. Variation of aggradation rate, bifurcation frequency and number of coexisting channel belts occurred over periods of 500 to 2000 years, compared with 10 000 years for extrinsic controls. This variation is partly related to local aggradation and degradation of channel belts around bifurcation points. Channel belts were preferentially clustered near floodplain margins, because of low floodplain aggradation rate and topography there.  相似文献   

Anatomy of a submarine pyroclastic flow and associated turbidity current: July 2003 dome collapse, Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat, West Indies     

JESSICA TROFIMOVS  R. STEPHEN JOHN SPARKS  PETER J. TALLING 《Sedimentology》2008,55(3):617-634

The 12 to 13 July 2003 andesite lava dome collapse at the Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat, provides the first opportunity to document comprehensively both the sub‐aerial and submarine sequence of events for an eruption. Numerous pyroclastic flows entered the ocean during the collapse, depositing approximately 90% of the total material into the submarine environment. During peak collapse conditions, as the main flow penetrated the air–ocean interface, phreatic explosions were observed and a surge cloud decoupled from the main flow body to travel 2 to 3 km over the ocean surface before settling. The bulk of the flow was submerged and rapidly mixed with sea water forming a water‐saturated mass flow. Efficient sorting and physical differentiation occurred within the flow before initial deposition at 500 m water depth. The coarsest components (～60% of the total volume) were deposited proximally from a dense granular flow, while the finer components (～40%) were efficiently elutriated into the overlying part of the flow, which evolved into a far‐reaching turbidity current.  相似文献   

Geochemical and Isotopic Evolution of Loihi Volcano, Hawaii   总被引：2，自引：6，他引：2

A 680m thick section from the deeply dissected east flank ofLoihi Volcano was sampled using the Pisces V submersible toevaluate the volcano's geochemical evolution. Three types oflavas were recovered: tholeiitic, weakly alkalic and stronglyalkalic. The ratio of alkalic to tholeiitic lavas varies systematicallywith depth, from predominantly alkalic at the base of the sectionto tholeiitic at the top. Glasses from these rocks have similarratios of highly incompatible elements and Pb, Sr and Nd isotopes,but distinct ratios of highly to moderately incompatible elements.Partial melting modeling indicates that these tholeiitic andalkalic lavas could be derived by variable degrees of partialmelting of a slightly heterogeneous source. Many distinct parentalmagmas were generated for each rock type during the 100–150k.y. that the east flank section was formed. Crystal fractionationand olivine accumulation were the dominant processes controllingcompositional variation among lavas of the same rock type. Magmamixing features were observed in only a few of the lavas collected. Loihi typifies the preshield stage of Hawaiian volcanism whenthe volcano drifts closer to the focus of the hotspot. The compositionalvariation in Loihi's east flank section, which may represent40% of the volcano's extrusive history, is consistent with thepredicted increase in partial melting during this drift. Thetransition from dominantly alkalic to tholeiitic volcanism onLoihi was fitful but relatively rapid and is now nearly complete.This transition is the opposite of that which occurs duringthe post-shield stage of Hawaiian volcanism as the volcano migratesaway from the hotspot focus. Loihi's tholeiitic lavas overlap in ratios of incompatible traceelements and Pb, Sr and Nd isotopes with lavas from its moreactive neighbor, Kilauea. The small differences in major elementcontents between lavas from these adjacent volcanoes can beexplained by high-pressure orthopyroxene fractionation of Loihimagmas, which may be a consequence of a low magma-supply rate,or by slightly shallower depths of melt segregation for Kilaueamagmas.

Zoisite--Anorthite--Calcite Stability Relations in H2O--CO2 Fluids at 5000 Bars: An Experimental and SEM Study     

ALLEN  JOHN M.; FAWCETT  J. J. 《Journal of Petrology》1982,23(2):215-239

The reaction 2 zoisite + CO₂ = 3 anorthite + calcite + H₂O hasbeen reversed experimentally in cold-seal pressure vessels usingnatural phases and H2O–C02 fluids generated by water-silveroxalate mixtures. Equilibrium has been determined at 5000 50bars, 599 9 °C and 0–075 ± 0–010 X_{CO2.Extrapolation using the MRK equation of Kerrick & Jacobs(1981) gives an equilibrium curve of negative T–X slopeconsistent with bracketing runs at 500, 550 and 650 °C.The curve agrees only with a new bracket of Nitsch (in Hoschek,1980), and is at higher XCo2} than all other experimental determinationsand at lower XCO₂ than those calculated from the thermodynamicdata of Helgeson et al. (1978). Discrepancies are attributedto differences in starting materials and small errors in thethermodynamic properties of the phases. Reaction direction and equilibrium have been determined by observingsurface textures of run products by SEM. Growth and solutiontextures are non-equivalent, permitting unequivocal determinationof reaction direction even where the extent of reaction is small,an advantage over conventional and insensitive XRD methods whichmeasure bulk changes in the charge. Dissolution features ofanorthite and zoisite are defect-related indicating controlby surface reaction, whereas calcite dissolves by both surfacereaction and diffusion controlled processes. Margarite forms in most runs below 585 °C. Textural features,its restriction to the margarite stability field and comparisonwith feldspar solubility data demonstrate it is an equilibriumphase formed by incongruent solubility of anorthite and zoisitein H₂O-CO₂ fluids. Quench phases formed from the solute areconsequently silica-rich, with implications for metasomaticprocesses in feldspar–epidote–bearing rock and fluidsystems. Absence of margarite from runs with anorthite, zoisiteand calcite in the zoisite stability field is apparently dueto the fast growth rate of zoisite. The full equilibrium assemblageis zoisite–anorthite–calcite–margarite atthese temperatures, and the degeneracy of the model system isunobtainable in experiments, and presumably, in nature.  相似文献   

A small-scale flood plain     

DENIS A. HUGHES  JOHN LEWIN† 《Sedimentology》1982,29(6):891-895

A miniature, 9 m-wide floodplain, developed along a gravel-washing effluent stream, shows features such as levées, crevasse splays and floodbasins which compare with their larger-scale counterparts. For sediments deposited overbank, median size decreases exponentially with distance from the channel whilst sorting increases, with coarser sediment on the outside of a meander bend. Overbank flows are only a few grain diameters in depth near the channel. This study shows potentially useful systematic relationships in floodplain sediment textures, but it involves only one of a possible variety of floodplain types dominated by overbank sedimentation. This suggests that further exploration of overbank depositional processes is desirable as an aid to field interpretation.  相似文献   

Subsolidus and Partial Melting Reactions in the Quartz-excess CaO+MgO+Al2O3+SiO2+H2O System under Water-excess and Water-deficient Conditions to 10 kb: Some Implications for the Origin of Peraluminous Melts from Mafic Rocks     

ELLIS  DAVID JOHN; THOMPSON  ALAN BRUCE 《Journal of Petrology》1986,27(1):91-121

Experimental results up to 10 kb pressure are presented on thestability of amphibole in the quartz-excess CaO+MgO+Al₂O₃ (CMASH)system under H₂O)-excess and H₂O deficient conditions. Amphiboleis stable above the solidus under H₂O-excess conditions whereasunder H₂O-deficient conditions dehydration melting of amphibole-bearingassemblages defines the solidus. The successive appearance ofamphibole, talc, and zoisite with increasing pressure considerablymodifies the plagioclase-pyroxene-garnet-kyanite reactions documentedexperimentally in the CaO+MgO+Al₂O₃+SiO₂ system for gabbro-granulite-eclogitetransitions. Although both clino pyroxene and cordierite (withanorthite+orthopyroxene+quartz) may melt eutectically at oneatmosphere to form diopside-normative and corundum-normativemelts respectively, at higher pressures under H₂O-excess conditionsthe peritectic melting of mafic rock compositions produces corundum-normativeliquids together with either clinopyroxene or amphibole. Dehydrationmelting produces melts which are not corundum-normative. Thesedata are used to discuss the origins and evolution of contrastingbasalt-andesite-dacite-rhyolite volcanic suites and graniticplutons, many of whose silicic variants are corundum-normativein character, such as the Toba luff ignimbrites, Indonesia (Beddoc-Stephenset al., 1983) and I-type granite minimum melts (White &Chappell, 1977). In contrast, it is proposed that for the Cascadesbasalt-andesite-dacite-rhyolite suite the ortho pyroxene-plagioclase-quartzthermal divide was maintained up to rhyolite compositions, therebyprohibiting the derivation of corundum-normative rocks fromdiopside-normative parent magmas. The deduced reaction relations between pyroxenes, amphibole,plagioclase, quartz, and liquid are used to explain the absenceor extreme scarcity of hydrous phases in some hydrous magmas.These phase relations can also explain the development of laterplagioclase overgrowths on resorbed plagioclase cores in graniticintrusives, and the general absence of resorption and overgrowthsin chemically equivalent extrusive rocks. A theoretical analysis of the partial melting of forsterite-bearingassemblages in the CaO+MgO+Al₂O₃+SiO₂+H₂O system shows thatunder H₂O-excess conditions partial melting may generate corundum-normative(but low SiO₂) melts from a peridotite source at shallow depths.  相似文献   

Mineralogy, Petrology, and Magmatic Conditions from the Fish Canyon Tuff, Central San Juan Volcanic Field, Colorado   总被引：2，自引：4，他引：2

The Fish Canyon Tuff is one of the largest currently recognizedash-flow tuffs (> 3000 km³). It is a crystal-rich quartzlatite containing about 40 per cent phenocrysts of plagioclase,sanidine, biotite, hornblende, quartz, magnetite, sphene, andilmenite. Pyrrhotite occurs as inclusions in magnetite, sphene,and hornblende. The consistency of mineralogy and whole rockchemistry confirms that the Fish Canyon tuff is remarkably homogeneous.Most chemical variations can be accounted for by phenocryst-matrixfractionation, probably due to glass winnowing during eruptionand emplacement. The composition of the parent magma, correctedfor such winnowing, is very similar to that of calc-alkalinebatholiths such as the Boulder and the Sierra Nevada batholiths. Fe-Ti oxide geothermometers indicate temperatures of 800 ? 30?C for most of the outflow tuff. No evidence for a regular thermalgradient in the magma chamber could be detected. Two feldsparand Fe-Ti oxide equilibria indicate that the magma developedat depths of 25 to 30 km (about 9 kb pressure), and was eruptedwithout time for phenocryst re-equilibration. The reconstructedcomposition of the liquid in equilibrium with the phenocrystsalso suggests a deep source for this ash flow. A late, upperpackage of flow units have mineralogical characteristics whichmay reflect partial re-equilibration in a shallower environment. Oxygen fugacities are moderately high (log fO₂ = — 11.5?0.3) but are similar to those obtained from other continentalcalc-alkaline ash-flow tuffs. The water fugacity is limitedby calculations using biotite equilibria and experimental workrelating to the stability of the phenocryst assemblage. Bestestimates are that water fugacity was 2000 ? 1000 bars. Theactivities of sulphurous gases are estimated at fSO₂ = 2 to4 bars, fso₂ = 150 to 200 bars, fH₂S = 70 to 80 bars. The Fish Canyon Tuff therefore came from a deep, homogeneous,granitic magma body of batholithic proportions. Calculationsof its probable viscosity, density, and size indicate that thesystem should convect with any reasonable thermal gradient.Convective mixing may account for the homogeneity of the parentmagma body.  相似文献
