Fiumara: a kind of high hazard river     

Luisa Sabato  Marcello Tropeano 《Physics and Chemistry of the Earth》2004,29(10):707-715

Fiumara is a kind of gravel-bed river, very steep and short, which flow through the southern Italy mountain chains, in Sicilia and Calabria regions. These streams drain mountain areas only, and are subject to a Mediterranean climate. They have a great transport and erosion capacity because of their flow regime, dominated by episodic flash floods alternated with long periods of inactivity during which their beds become completely dry. During this last century, the natural equilibrium of these particular alluvial environments has undergone notable modifications caused also by human activities. The effects of such works are investigated in terms of river dynamics, and some local examples are reported and discussed; some suggestions are made for recovery measures too.  相似文献

Pre-alpine and alpine evolution of the South-alpine basement of the Orobic Alps     

Annibale Mottana  Massimo Nicoletti  Claudio Petrucciani  Giuseppe Liborio  Luisa De Capitani  Rosangela Bocchio 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1985,74(2):353-366

New K-Ar age determinations on the gneisses and schists of the south-Alpine basement of the Orobic Alps and their separated minerals have been carried out to supplement and support the previous study ofBocchio et al. (1981).The cooling ages of biotites and muscovites range from 218 to 331 my and from 170 to 330 my respectively, according to a bimodal distribution with modes at 222 and 298 my for biotite, 182 and 322 my for muscovite. The whole rock ages spread from 43 to 402 my with no significant cluster. Only a few samples give statistically significant internal isochrones, and these suggest two periods of equilibration, at 226–245 and 312–368 my.These age determinations support the conclusion drawn from regional petrologic studies (Bocchio et al., 1980;Crespi et al., 1980), that the south-Alpine basement underwent two main phases of metamorphism, now preferentially preserved in different areas: an old, Hercynian phase under a regime of intermediate pressure (staur-ky type), and a young, post-Hercynian phase under a regime of low pressure (staur-sill type) reactivated by the cover of the thick sedimentary pile on top of the basement. Furthermore, radiometric ages also point out the widespread but irregularly distributed occurence of an alpine overprint under the conditions of a very low metamorphic regime, that is documented by the growth of post-kinematic stilpnomelane in rocks of suitable bulk composition (Crespi et al., 1981, 1982), as well as by fine-grained phengite.

Zusammenfassung Neue Kali-Argon-Datierungen von Gneisen und Schiefern und ihrer abgetrennten Minerale des südalpinen Grundgebirges wurden in Ergänzung der Studie vonBocchio et al., 1981 durchgeführt. Die Abkühlungsalter der Biotite und Muskovite reichen von 218 bis 331 ma und von 170 bis 330 ma entsprechend einer bimodalen Entwicklung mit Modalwerten bei 222 und 298 ma für Biotit und 182 und 322 ma für Muskovit. Die Gesamtgesteinsalter reichen von 43–402 ma ohne signifikante Häufung. Nur wenige Proben geben eine statistisch signifikante Isochrone, woraus sich zwei Gleichgewichtsperioden zwischen 226–245 ma und 312–368 ma ablesen lassen.Diese Altersbestimmungen unterstützen die Schlußfolgerungen, die aus regional-petrologischen Studien (Bocchio et al., 1980;Crespi et al., 1980) gezogen wurden und die Aussagen, daß das südalpine Grundgebirge zwei Hauptphasen der Metamorphose mitgemacht hat, die heute in verschiedenen Gebieten erhalten sind: eine ältere herzynische Phase unter mittleren Druckbedingungen (Staur-Ky) und eine jüngere postherzynische Phase unter niedrigem Druck (Staur-Sil), die unter der Überdeckung einer mächtigen Sedimentserie über dem Grundgebirge reaktiviert wurde. Darüber hinaus deuten die radiometrischen Alter auf einen weit verteilten, aber unregelmäßig auftretenden alpinen Einfluß hin, der unter den Bedingungen einer sehr niedrigen Metamorphose aufgeprägt wurde. Dies wird dokumentiert durch das Wachstum postkinematischer Stilpnomelane in Gesteinen mit einer entsprechenden Zusammensetzung (Crespi et al., 1981, 1982) sowie von feinkörnigen Phenigiten.

Résumé De nouvelles déterminations d'âge par la méthode K-Ar ont été effectuées sur les gneiss et les schistes du socle sudalpin des Alpes Orobiques, ainsi que sur certains de leurs minéraux, en complément aux travaux antérieurs deBocchio et al. (1981).L'âge du refroidissement des biotites s'étend de 210 à 331 Ma et celui des muscovites de 170 à 330 Ma, selon une distribution bimodale: modes à 222 à 298 Ma pour la biotite et à 183 et 322 Ma pour la muscovite. Les âges mesurés sur roche totale vont de 43 à 402 Ma sans concentration significative autour d'une valeur. Un petit nombre d'échantillons seulement fournissent des isochrones statistiquement significatives; elles suggèrent deux périodes de mise en équilibre, à 226–245 Ma et à 312–368 Ma.Ces déterminations d'âge appuient les conclusions d'études pétrologiques régionales antérieures (Bocchio et al. 1980;Crespi et al. 1980), à savoir que le socle sud-alpin a subi deux phases principales de métamorphisme, conservées aujourd'hui dans de régions différentes: une phase ancienne, hercynienne, de pression intermédiaire (type staurotide-disthène) et une phase jeune, post-hercynienne, de basse pression (type staurotide-sillimanite) réactivée sous la couverture sédimentaire épaisse reposant sur le socle. De plus, les âges radiométriques mettent en évidence une reprise alpine, d'extension régionale mais irrégulièrement distribuée, dans les conditions d'un métamorphisme de très faible degré. Cette reprise s'exprime par la croissance de stilpnomélane post-cinématique dans les roches de composition appropriée (Crespi et al. 1981, 1982) ainsi que par le développement de phengite finement grenue.

Ophiolitic magmatism in the Ligurian Tethys: an ion microprobe study of basaltic clinopyroxenes     

R. Vannucci  E. Rampone  G. B. Piccardo  L. Ottolini  P. Bottazzi 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1993,115(2):123-137

Ion microprobe data (REE, Na, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Sr, Zr) of unaltered clinopyroxenes in the ophiolitic basalts from the Northern Apennines have been used in a epx-based geochemical modelling of MORB magmatism from both External (EL) and Internal (IL) sectors of the Ligurian Tethys (i.e. Jurassic Ligure-Piemontese basin), alternative to the more common whole-rock approach. Clinopyroxenes from EL basalts display slightly fractionated LREE (Ce_N/Sm_N0.5) and HREE (Gd_N/ Yb_N1.5) patterns and large variations in the REE composition (up to 6 times from microphenocryst cores to interstitial clinopyroxenes). Interstitial clinopyroxenes in IL basalts are similar to the microphenocrysts from the most primitive EL basalts. By contrast, IL microphenocrysts are characterized by greater LREE (Ce_N/Sm_N 0.3) and lesser HREE (Gd_N/Yb_N<1.2) fractionation. The comparison of trace element variations in wholerocks and clinopyroxenes clearly shows that the olivine and plagioclase portion of the fractionation sequence is poorly represented by the EL and IL basalts. In fact, ophiolitic basalts mainly consist of a minor interstitial glass (now deeply altered) associated with a prevailing plagioclase-clinopyroxene assemblage crystallized from liquids significantly evolved along the olivine-plagioclase-clinopyroxene saturation boundary. Thus, bulk rock chemistry is largely governed by clinopyroxene composition. This, in addition to alteration, indicates that the bulk rock chemistry does not provide reliable chemical information to constrain the composition and the generation of the parental magmas. Unfortunately, most clinopyroxenes are characterized by complex zoning, probably caused by disequilibrium partitioning during crystal growth as a result of kinetic factors. On this ground, estimation of melt chemistry and inferences about the origins of these basalts are only allowed by the core compositions of microphenocrystic clinopyroxenes. Modelling of (Nd/Yb)_N and Ti/Zr in the parental magmas, as deduced from the clinopyroxene compositions, indicates thata EL and IL basalts do not represent products of different mantle source composition. Rather, they were generated by varying degrees of fractional melting in the spinel stability field, lower for the EL (a few percent) relative to IL, totalling no more than 10% of an asthenospheric MORB source, and leaving in the residua clinopyroxene with REE patterns similar to those shown by IL suboceanic type peridotites. Accordingly, these latter are interpreted as refractory residua after MORB-generating fractional melting occurred during rifting and opening of the Ligure-Piemontese basin. By contrast, residual clinopyroxenes from the EL subcontinental type peridotites are not consistent with low degrees of fractional melting in agreement with the current interpretation that EL peridotites are unrelated to the MORB magmatism in the Ligure-Piemontese basin and represent lithospheric mantle material already emplaced towards the surface by a tectonic denudation mechanism during the early stages of oceanic rifting.  相似文献

Cenozoic tectonic evolution in the Central Andes in northern Chile and west central Bolivia: implications for paleogeographic, magmatic and mountain building evolution     

Reynaldo Charrier  Gérard Hérail  Luisa Pinto  Marcelo García  Rodrigo Riquelme  Marcelo Farías  Nelson Muñoz 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,102(1):235-264

A review of available stratigraphic, structural, and magmatic evolution in northernmost Chile, and adjacent Peru and Bolivia shows that in this region: (1) compression on the Paleogene intra-arc during the middle Eocene Incaic phase formed the NNE-SSW-oriented Incaic range along the present-day Precordillera and Western Cordillera, and (2) post-Incaic tectonic conditions remained compressive until present, contrasting with other regions of the Andes, where extensional episodes occurred during part of this time lapse. A late Oligocene–early Miocene peak of deformation caused further uplift. The Incaic range formed a pop-up structure bounded by two thrusts systems of diverging vergencies; it represented a major paleogeographic feature that separated two domains with different tectonic and paleogeographic evolutions, and probably formed the Andean water divide. This range has been affected by intense erosion and was symmetrically flanked by two major basins, the Pampa del Tamarugal and the Altiplano. Magmatic activity remained located along the previous Late Cretaceous–early Eocene arc with slight eastward shift. Further compression caused westvergent thrusting and uplift along the western Eastern Cordillera bounding the Altiplano basin to the east by another pop-up shaped ridge. Eastward progression of deformation caused eastvergent thrusting of the Eastern Cordillera and Subandean zone.  相似文献   

Recommendation system to determine suitable and viable hiking routes: a prototype application in Sierra de las Nieves Nature Reserve (southern Spain)     

Jesús Vías  José Rolland  María Luisa Gómez  Carmen Ocaña  Ana Luque 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2018,20(3):275-294

This paper describes a system for recommending hiking routes to help manage hiking activities in a protected area. The system proposes various routes, based on five criteria that maximize some aspects of hikers’ requirements (by analyzing the viability and difficulty of the trails) and also those of protected areas managers (by proposals to relieve congestion in areas already used for hiking and to promote awareness of new ones, as a contribution to environmental education). The recommendation system uses network analysis, multi-criteria decision analysis and geographic information system by free software tools: PgRouting, PostgreSQL and PostGIS. This system has been tested in Sierra de las Nieves Nature Reserve (Andalusia, Spain). Of the 182 routes obtained by the system, 62 (34%) are considered viable for hikers in Sierra de las Nieves, taking into account the type of user most likely to visit this protected area. Most routes have a high difficulty level, which is coherent with the mountainous character of the protected area.  相似文献   

Local Habitat Influences on Feeding and Respiration of the Intertidal Mussels <Emphasis Type="Italic">Perumytilus purpuratus</Emphasis> Exposed to Increased <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Levels     

Luisa M. Saavedra  Diego Parra  Valeska San Martin  Nelson A. Lagos  Cristian A. Vargas 《Estuaries and Coasts》2018,41(4):1118-1129

Coastal ecosystems are exposed to changes in physical-chemical properties, such as those occurring in upwelling and freshwater-influenced areas. In these areas, inorganic carbon can influence seawater properties that may affect organisms and populations inhabiting benthic habitats such as the intertidal mussel Perumytilus purpuratus. Feeding and metabolic responses were measured in adult mussels from two geographic regions (central and southern Chile) and two local habitats (river-influenced and non-river-influenced) and three pCO₂ levels (380, 750, and 1200 μatm pCO₂ in seawater). The feeding rates of mussels tend to increase at high pCO₂ levels in seawater; however this response was variable across regions and local habitats. In contrast, there was no difference in the respiratory rate of mussels between geographic areas, but there was a significant reduction of oxygen consumption at intermediate and high levels of pCO_2. The results indicate that river-influenced organisms compensate for reductions in metabolic cost at elevated pCO₂ levels by having their energy demands met, in contrast with non-river-influenced organisms. The lack of regional-scale variability in the physiological performance of mussels may indicate physiological homogeneity across populations and thus potential for local adaptation. However, the local-scale influences of river- and non-river-influenced habitats may counterbalance this regional response promoting intra-population variability and phenotypic plasticity in P. purpuratus. The plasticity may be an important mechanism that allows mussels to confront the challenges of projected ocean acidification scenarios.  相似文献   

The particular “rammed earth” of the Saadian sugar refinery of Chichaoua (XVIth century,Morocco): mineralogical,chemical and mechanical characteristics

This work focuses on the building material used in the Saadian sugar refinery of Chichaoua (about 70 km southwest of Marrakesh). The study involved a classification of different types of rammed earth, followed by their mineralogical characterization based on optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). These studies are complemented by chemical investigations, X-ray fluorescence, and thermal analysis (DTA and TGA). The results demonstrate the use of two types of earth for the realisation of rammed earth, the first one non-plastic, -grained with added lime, the other one of low plasticity, and fine grained without addition of lime. Mechanical tests on site and in laboratory how at the first type of material exhibits great strength, exceeding the values known for rammed earth.  相似文献
