Comparison of 10 years of oxygen isotope and insoluble impurity profiles from the Devon Island and Camp Century ice cores     

David A. Fisher 《Quaternary Research》1979,11(3)

Oxygen-isotope profiles for the Devon Island ice cap and Camp Century Greenland are affected by a number of variables, some of which must have been the same for both sites. The two δ(¹⁸O) records spanning about 120,000 years are brought into relative alignment by comparison of major δ features, and subsequent verification that the insoluble particulate concentration records were also in phase for this alignment. The difference between the δ profiles is shown to be mainly a function of the altitude of the accumulation area for Camp Century. This altitude seems to have been higher than present for the last 100,000 years, suggesting the present flow line through the site has never been shorter. The maximum altitude for the Camp Century accumulation area is 1500 m above the present site and is almost synchronous with the maximum in particulate concentration that occurs at 16,000 yr B.P. The synchronism is likely due to the maximum sea-level lowering that exposed vast areas of continental shelf to wind erosion.  相似文献   

Effects of stem density upon sediment retention by salt marsh cord grass,Spartina alterniflora loisel   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Mark L. Gleason  Deborah A. Elmer  Natalie C. Pien  John S. Fisher 《Estuaries and Coasts》1979,2(4):271-273

A laboratory experiment was conducted to determine whether retention of waterborne sand by salt marsh cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora Loisel, is directly related to the number of stems per unit area. Waves generated in a trough washed over a sloping beach planted with S. alterniflora sprigs: a range of stem densities (0–108 stems/m²) was examined in separate trials. The amount of sand accumulated after 60 waves is a positive nonlinear function of stem density. The greatest accretion coincided with the highest stem density tested. Shape of the beach profile was also strongly influenced by the number of stems per m².  相似文献

Deep-sea hydrocarbon seep gastropod Bathynerita naticoidea responds to cues from the habitat-providing mussel Bathymodiolus childressi     

Sharmishtha Dattagupta  Jonathan Martin  Shu-min Liao  Robert S. Carney  & Charles R. Fisher 《Marine Ecology》2007,28(1):193-198

Bathynerita naticoidea (Gastropoda: Neritidae) is a numerically dominant heterotrophic gastropod found at hydrocarbon seep sites on the upper Louisiana slope of the Gulf of Mexico. Snails of this species are commonly associated with beds of the methanotrophic mussel Bathymodiolus childressi (Bivalvia: Mytilidae), and their population structure mirrors that of the mussels they are found among. Previous studies have shown that these snails feed on bacteria and decomposing periostracum on the B. childressi shell. We predicted that B. naticoidea might be attracted to cues specific to its preferred habitat, such as dissolved methane, mucus from conspecific snails, or metabolites produced by B. childressi mussels. To examine this, we used a flow‐through Y‐maze system to investigate the behavior of B. naticoidea exposed to these potential cues. We found that the nerite is not attracted to methane, but is strongly attracted to seawater conditioned with B. childressi. The attractant appears to be specific to this type of mussel, and is not a soluble cue produced by conspecific snails.  相似文献   

Formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch: a Discussion Paper by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice‐core,marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (International Commission on Stratigraphy)

This discussion paper, by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice‐core, marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommision on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS) of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), considers the prospects for a formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch. Although previous attempts to subdivide the Holocene have proved inconclusive, recent developments in Quaternary stratigraphy, notably the definition of the Pleistocene–Holocene boundary and the emergence of formal subdivisions of the Pleistocene Series/Epoch, mean that it may be timely to revisit this matter. The Quaternary literature reveals a widespread but variable informal usage of a tripartite division of the Holocene (‘early’, ‘middle’ or ‘mid’, and ‘late’), and we argue that this de facto subdivision should now be formalized to ensure consistency in stratigraphic terminology. We propose an Early–Middle Holocene Boundary at 8200 a BP and a Middle–Late Holocene Boundary at 4200 a BP, each of which is linked to a Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP). Should the proposal find a broad measure of support from the Quaternary community, a submission will be made to the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), via the SQS and the ICS, for formal ratification of this subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch.

Crustal structure beneath exposed accreted terranes of Southern Alaska     

G.S. Fuis  E.L. Ambos  W.D. Mooney  R.A. Page  M.A. Fisher  T.M. Brocher  J.J. Taber 《Geophysical Journal International》1987,89(1):73-78

Summary. The crustal structure beneath the exposed terranes of southern Alaska has been explored using coincident seismic refraction and reflection profiling. A wide-angle reflector at 8–9 km depth, at the base of an inferred low-velocity zone, underlies the Peninsular and Chugach terranes, appears to truncate their boundary, and may represent a horizontal decollement beneath the terranes. The crust beneath the Chugach terrane is characterized by a series of north-dipping paired layers having low and high velocities that may represent subducted slices of oceanic crust and mantle. This layered series may continue northward under the Peninsular terrane. Earthquake locations in the Wrangell Benioff zone indicate that at least the upper two low-high velocity layer pairs are tectonically inactive and that they appear to have been accreted to the base of the continental crust. The refraction data suggest that the Contact fault between two similar terranes, the Chugach and Prince William terranes, is a deeply penetrating feature that separates lower crust (deeper than 10 km) with paired dipping reflectors, from crust without such reflectors.  相似文献

针对日常生活中因对温度变化的忽视引起的各种问题,提出一种对温度进行远程监测并短信通知用户的系统,以达到向用户进行温度报警的目的.系统主要由STC89C52单片机,液晶显示器1602,温度传感器DS18B20,TC35模块4大部分构成,首先通过温度传感器DS18B20采集当前环境温度,然后利用液晶显示器1602将当前温度显示出来,与此同时单片机判断当前温度值,当前温度超过温度上限值时,单片机控制GSM模块向指定手机号发送一条短信.结果显示,当温度超过设定温度时,指定手机会收到一条报警短信,提醒用户当前的温度超过了温度上限.通过与传统的温度检测系统作对比,系统能够得到较准确的温度检测值其测温误差能够控制在0.4以下,并且通过发送短信来对温度进行远程实时监测.  相似文献   

盐度调控对花鲈(Lateolabrax maculatus)生长相关基因表达的影响

生长激素受体(GHR)作为GH/IGF轴的中心环节,在内分泌调控中发挥重要作用。本实验采用c DNA末端快速扩增法(RACE)技术克隆出花鲈GHR1和GHR2的c DNA全长序列。急性低盐度调控实验设为海水组、半海水组和淡水组。测定了急性低盐度调控24、48、96、144、192h后,花鲈肝脏中GHRs、IGF-1及垂体GH表达情况。结果表明,GHR1 c DNA全长序列2436bp,编码637个氨基酸;GHR2 c DNA全长序列2940bp,编码582个氨基酸。GHR1与GHR2由信号肽、胞外区、跨膜区、胞内区组成,且结构存在差异。脑、肾、鳃中GHR1表达明显高于GHR2;而在肌肉、垂体、肝脏、盲肠、胸腺、心脏中,GHR2表达明显高于GHR1。24h时,各组GHR1表达不变,GHR2、GH、IGF-1显著下降。之后,相对于海水组,淡水组和半海水组GHRs和IGF-1表达升高,而GH下降,GH与GHR负相关。据结果推测,花鲈GHR2可能为SL受体,GH/IGF轴参与低渗调控可能是通过增加GHRs,进而激活下游IGF-1表达而实现。  相似文献
