A critical problem for conducting quantitative analysis of individual fluid inclusions using Synchrotron X-Ray Fluorescence (SXRF) technique relates to the standardization and the calibration of the X-ray spectra. In this study, different approaches have been tested for calibration purposes: (a) the use of chlorine when Cl content can be estimated either from melting point depressions of undersaturated fluid inclusions or from saturation limits for halite-bearing fluid inclusions, (b) the use of calcium from synthetic fluid inclusions of known CaCl2 content as an external standard. SXRF analysis was performed on individual fluid inclusions from the Chivor and Guali emerald deposits, Columbia. These well-known samples contain a single fluid inclusion population for which detailed crush-leach analyses are available, thus providing a relevant compositional reference frame. Concentration estimates were also compared to Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) analysis carried out independently on the same fluid inclusions.Results of the calibration tests indicate that major (Cl, K, Ca, Fe, Mn) and trace element (Cu, Zn, As, Br, Rb, Sr, Ba, Pb) concentration estimates can be performed without precise knowledge of the analytical volume and the inclusion’s 3D geometry. Although the standard deviation of the SXRF results can be relatively high depending on the calibration mode used, mean concentration estimates for most elements are in good agreement with PIXE and crush-leach analysis. Elemental distributions within single fluid inclusions were also established. Associated correlation diagrams argue for the homogeneous distribution of most elements in the fluid inclusion. In contrast, Br shows a bimodal distribution interpreted to reflect a significant enrichment of the vapor portion of the inclusion fluid. 相似文献
Abstract— Organic geochemistry applied to samples of bedrock and surface sediment from the Haughton impact structure detects a range of signatures representing the impact event and the transfer of organic matter from the crater bedrock to its erosion products. The bedrock dolomite contains hydrocarbon‐bearing fluid inclusions which were incorporated before the impact event. Comparison of biomarker data from the hydrocarbons in samples inside and outside of the crater show the thermal signature of an impact. The occurrence of hydrocarbon inclusions in hydrothermal mineral samples shows that organic matter was mobilized and migrated in the immediate aftermath of the impact. The hydrocarbon signature was then transferred from bedrock to the crater‐fill lacustrine deposits and present‐day sediments in the crater, including wind‐blown detritus in snow/ice. Separate signatures are detected from modern microbial life in crater rock and sediment samples. Signatures in Haughton crater samples are readily detectable because they include hydrocarbons generated by the burial of organic matter. This type of organic matter is not expected in crater samples on other planets, but the Haughton data show that, using very high resolution detection of organic compounds, any signature of primitive life in the crater rocks could be transferred to surface detritus and so extend the sampling medium. 相似文献
This study contributes to identifying and spatializing the different types of nitrate sources by combining hydrogeochemical and isotopic data with principal component analysis (PCA) and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) multicriteria statistical methods. The methodology is applied to the strategic Mons Basin chalk aquifer (Belgium). The results are based on a whole dataset containing 72 water samples with analyses of the hydrogeochemical parameters (temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), redox potential, dissolved O2), alkalinity, total organic carbon (TOC), silica (SiO2), major and minor ions (NO3–, NH4+, Ca2+, dissolved Fe and Mn, K+, Mg2+, Na+, Sr2+, Cl–, F–, SO4–, B) and multiple stable isotope ratios (δ11B, δ15N–NO3–, δ18O–NO3–). Compared to classical PCA, the recently developed t-SNE method, which considers nonlinear relationships between variables and preserves local-scale similarities in a low-dimensional space, showed much better performance in discriminating different groups of samples and related zones in the aquifer. t-SNE results combined with isotope ratios highlighted four zones in the aquifer (grouped as A–D) and the presence of denitrification fronts. Group A presents a manure signature (δ15N–NO3– – mean (μ) +12.78‰, standard deviation (σ) 6.48‰; δ11B – μ 29.96‰, σ 6.91‰). Group B exhibits both manure and inorganic fertilizer signatures (δ15N–NO3– – μ 6.27‰, σ 2.55‰; δ11B – μ 15.86‰, σ 9.69‰). Group C shows a contamination by sewage (δ15N–NO3– – μ 12.67‰, σ 5.60‰; δ11B – μ 9.97‰, σ 7.08‰). Group D presents a mixed signature (δ15N–NO3– – μ 9.25‰, σ 2.94‰; δ11B – μ 20.00‰, σ 6.70‰).

The south-west reef lagoon of New Caledonia is a semi-enclosed basin where, on first approximation, dominating sea state component corresponds to locally generated wind waves. This study aims to evaluate the ability of the wave model WAVEWATCH III to simulate wind wave distribution in this particular fetch-limited context, with a given parameterisation. In order to evaluate the consistency of the simulation results, wave parameters were measured in situ by a wave and tide recorder (WTR9 Aanderaa) and by an acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV Sontek). This study underlines specific constrains for the deployment of instruments to assess the characteristic parameters of low amplitude and high frequency wind-waves. Special care was taken in the comparison step as, on one hand the wave model did not simulate the propagation of low-frequency oceanic waves inside the lagoon, and on the other hand the measured spectra bear an intrinsic limitation for high frequencies. The approximation of a sea state dominated by wind waves is verified on the study site. The accuracy of the simulation results is discussed with regards to the wind forcing applied to the model. 相似文献
Manganese is a major redox reactive element of benthic metabolism. We have built a database of existing knowledge on the benthic
geochemistry of Mn in the Bay of Biscay, in order to comprehensively assess the behaviour of Mn in a variety of environments
during early diagenesis. The database contains vertical profiles of particulate and dissolved Mn species of 59 cores collected
during 17 cruises between 1997 and 2006 at nine stations positioned between 140 and 4,800 m water depths. At all studied stations,
Mn species follow the conventional distribution, where Mn(III,IV) species are enriched in the oxic layer, and dissolved Mn
is present in the anoxic sediments. A minor part of Mn-oxides originates from sedimenting particles. The major part is of
diagenetic origin, and derives from the oxidation of upward-diffusing dissolved Mn(II). Mn-oxide inventories are higher at
the deeper stations than at the shallower ones. This difference cannot be attributed to different sources of sedimenting particles,
but it must depend on sedimentation rate and diagenetic processes. At depth, dissolved Mn(II) concentrations are constant.
This probably reflects equilibrium with an authigenic Mn(II) phase, which is the ultimate phase into which Mn is fossilized.
The Mn content of deeper anoxic sediments is similarly low in all the cores studied, associated with corresponding trends
of Mn content in sedimenting particles of the Bay of Biscay. Bioturbation, rather than redox oscillations, can convey Mn(III,IV)
species downwards into the anoxic sediments where they are reduced, associated with a peak of dissolved Mn. Because dissolved
Mn(II) is re-oxidized when it diffuses towards the oxic layer, the inventory of the diagenetic Mn(III,IV) phase remains at
steady state, especially at stations where the oxic layer is thick. It then becomes possible to calculate the residence time
of diagenetic Mn(III,IV) particles within the oxic layer, using the upward-directed flux of pore water Mn(II). By applying
this residence time to the accumulation of sediments within the oxic layer, we obtain the sediment mass accumulation rate.
The values calculated for the sediments of the Bay of Biscay fit well with accumulation rates obtained from radionuclides
or sediment traps. The method has also been validated with data collected in other marine sedimentary environments.

Static elasticity measurements at high pressures were carried out on oriented fluorapatite single crystals, some of which
contained oriented amorphous ion tracks (ITs) implanted with relativistic Au ions (2.2 GeV) from the UNILAC linear accelerator
at GSI, Darmstadt. High-pressure experiments on irradiated and non-irradiated crystal sections were carried out in diamond-anvil
high-pressure cells under hydrostatic conditions. In situ single-crystal diffraction was performed to determine the high-precision
lattice parameters, simultaneously monitoring the widths of X-ray diffraction Bragg peaks. High-pressure Raman spectra were
analyzed with respect to the frequency shift and widths of bands, which correspond to the Raman-active vibrational modes of
the phosphate tetrahedra. Swift heavy ion irradiation was found to induce anisotropic lattice expansion and tensile strain
within the host lattice dependent on the ion-track orientation. The relatively low Grüneisen parameter for the ν1b(Ag) mode, which has been assigned to originate from the volume fraction of the amorphous tracks, and the γ(ν1a)/γ(ν1b) ratio reveals compressive strain on the amorphous ITs. The comparative compressibilities for the host lattice reveal approximately
equivalent bulk moduli, but significantly different pressure derivatives (KT = 88.4 ± 0.7 GPa, ∂K/∂P = 6.3 ± 0.3 for non-irradiated, KT = 90.0 ± 1.7 GPa, ∂K/∂P = 3.8 ± 0.5 for irradiated samples). The axial compressibility moduli β−1 reveal significant differences, which correlate with the ion-track orientation [ba - 1 \beta_{a}^{ - 1} = 240 ± 5 GPa, bc - 1 \beta_{c}^{ - 1} = 361 ± 14 GPa, ∂( ba - 1 ) \left( {\beta_{a}^{ - 1} } \right) /∂P = 11.3 ± 1.2, ∂( bc - 1 ) \left( {\beta_{c}^{ - 1} } \right) /∂P = 11.6 ± 3.4 for irradiation ⊥(100); 246 ± 9 GPa, 364 ± 57 GPa, 9.5 ± 2.9, 14.7 ± 14.1 for irradiation ⊥(001), 230.7 ± 3.6 GPa,
373.5 ± 5.1 GPa, 19.2 ± 1.4, 20.1 ± 1.8 for no irradiation]. Line widths of XRD Bragg peaks in irradiated apatites confirm
the strain of the host lattice, which appears to decrease with increasing pressure. By contrast, the bandwidths of Raman modes
increase with pressure, and this is attributed to increasing strain gradients on the length scale of the short-range order.
The investigations reveal considerable deviatoric stress on the [100]-oriented tracks due to the anisotropic elasticity, while
the compression is uniform for the directions perpendicular to the tracks, which are aligned parallel to the c-axis. This difference might be considered to control the diffusion properties related to the annealing kinetics and its observed
anisotropy, and hence to cause potential pressure effects on track-fading rates. 相似文献
