The title of this article is designed to provoke. Naturally occurring parameters are, by definition, not contamination. Nevertheless, nature is not necessarily nice, and naturally occurring trace toxins can be every bit as undesirable as their counterparts derived from human pollution.  相似文献

Paläogeographische Entwicklungen an mobilen Schollengrenzen im Westhindukusch (Bande Amir,Zentralafghanistan)     

Dr. Ulrich Jux 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1975,64(1):523-540

In the region of Bande Amir, located on the southern rim of the Tadschik basin, the Mesozoic section starts with detrital and conglomeratic limestones. These marine deposits of Upper Cretaceous age (Cenomanian-Turonian) disconformably cover a truncated complex of Upper Paleozoic rocks (Permian). After an interval of neritic sedimentation (Santonian, Campanian) the Upper Cretaceous sea (Maastrichtian) regressed from the Central Afghanian High. In the Hindukusch mountains the regression is related to crustal movements and regional uplifts, which hinged on the Herat lineament. Intermontane basins, developed on this mobile zone during mid-Tertiary time, gathered continental debris (Neogene conglomerates; Zohak-Formation) and led to the deposition of lacustrine sediments (Ghulghola-Formation). Orogenetic movements along the colliding edges of crustal blocks were rejuvenated in Plio-Pleistocene time, shifting the focus of deposition to the northwest. The basin was finally captured by the Amu Darja drainage system, leading to the development of canyon-like incisions. During warm periods of the Quaternary, fluviatile erosion in Bande Amir was interrupted at least four times by the retention of water behind large dams of travertine.  相似文献   

Sedimentation in Lake Biel,an eutrophic,hard-water lake in northwestern Switzerland   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Dr. Richard F. Wright  Prof. Albert Matter  Marc Schweingruber  Ulrich Siegenthaler 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1980,42(2):101-126

A 2-year study of sedimentation in Lake Biel reveals that three major factors can account for the spatial and temporal patterns of tripton sedimentation. Allochthonous inputs of particulate matter mostly derived from the Aare river during spring snowmelt and other high-water periods, provide about 50% of the carbonate and 50% of the siliceous matter collected in sediment traps. Phytoplankton activity in this eutrophic, hard-water lake accounts for the rest of the carbonate and siliceous matter, the latter being mostly diatom frustules. Sedimentation rates are thus highest during periods of maximum river flooding, maximum phytoplankton activity and following the breakdown of the thermocline, at which time trapped particles settle out. Resuspension of sediment is important in at least one basin. Resolution of carbonate appears to be minor.  相似文献   

Über die Vertikalverteilung und jahreszeitliche Entwicklung der Larvendichte vonDreissena polymorpha Pallas im Pelagial des unteren Zürichseebeckens im Jahre 1974     

Peter Suter-Weider  Dr. Ulrich Zimmermann 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1976,38(2):159-170

The freshwater musselDreissena polymorpha Pallas was sighted for the first time in Lake Zürich about 1969. This meant a real problem for the water treatment of lake water. By means of a pump and vertical net hauls it was tried to add more information to the scarce results on Lake Zürich. Additional dates about temperature, depth of Secchi disk visibility and beam transmittance were collected. There was a first appearance of the larvae ofD. polymorpha at the beginning of June. Following the mean temperature of the epilimnion the number of individuals/m² reached max. 210,000. The greatest concentration measured in 1974 of larvae/m³ was 54,375 at a depth of 4 m. The last appearance ofD. polymorpha was observed at the end of October.

Episodic Cenozoic volcanism and tectonism in the Andes of Peru     

Donald C. Noble  Edwin H. McKee  Edward Farrar  Ulrich Petersen 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1974,21(2):213-220

Radiometric and geologic information indicate a complex history of Cenozoic volcanism and tectonism in the central Andes. K-Ar ages on silicic pyroclastic rocks demonstrate major volcanic activity in central and southern Peru, northern Chile, and adjacent areas during the Early and Middle Miocene, and provide additional evidence for volcanism during the Late Eocene. A provisional outline of tectonic and volcanic events in the Peruvian Andes during the Cenozoic includes: one or more pulses of igneous activity and intense deformation during the Paleocene and Eocene; a period of quiescence, lasting most of Oligocene time; reinception of tectonism and volcanism at the beginning of the Miocene; and a major pulse of deformation in the Middle Miocene accompanied and followed through the Pliocene by intense volcanism and plutonism. Reinception of igneous activity and tectonism at about the Oligocene-Miocene boundary, a feature recognized in other circum-Pacific regions, may reflect an increase in the rate of rotation of the Pacific plate relative to fixed or quasifixed mantle coordinates. Middle Miocene tectonism and latest Tertiary volcanism correlates with and probably is genetically related to the beginning of very rapid spreading at the East Pacific Rise.  相似文献

Noble gases in mineral separates from three shergottites: Shergotty,Zagami, and EETA79001     

Susanne P. Schwenzer  Siegfried Herrmann  Ratan K. Mohapatra  Ulrich Ott 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2007,42(3):387-412

Abstract— This study provides a complete data set of all five noble gases for bulk samples and mineral separates from three Martian shergottites: Shergotty (bulk, pyroxene, maskelynite), Zagami (bulk, pyroxene, maskelynite), and Elephant Moraine (EET) A79001, lithology A (bulk, pyroxene). We also give a compilation of all noble gas and nitrogen studies performed on these meteorites. Our mean values for cosmic‐ray exposure ages from ³He, ²¹Ne, and ³⁸Ar are 2.48 Myr for Shergotty, 2.73 Myr for Zagami, and 0.65 Myr for EETA79001 lith. A. Serious loss of radiogenic ⁴He due to shock is observed. Cosmogenic neon results for bulk samples from 13 Martian meteorites (new data and literature data) are used in addition to the mineral separates of this study in a new approach to explore evidence of solar cosmic‐ray effects. While a contribution of this low‐energy irradiation is strongly indicated for all of the shergottites, spallation Ne in Chassigny, Allan Hills (ALH) 84001, and the nakhlites is fully explained by galactic cosmic‐ray spallation. Implanted Martian atmospheric gases are present in all mineral separates and the thermal release indicates a near‐surface siting. We derive an estimate for the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar ratio of the Martian interior component by subtracting from measured Ar in the (K‐poor) pyroxenes the (small) radiogenic component as well as the implanted atmospheric component as indicated from ¹²⁹Xe, * excesses. Unless compromised by the presence of additional components, a high ratio of ～2000 is indicated for Martian interior argon, similar to that in the Martian atmosphere. Since much lower ratios have been inferred for Chassigny and ALH 84001, the result may indicate spatial and/or temporal variations of ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar in the Martian mantle.  相似文献   

Experimental formation of massive hydrate deposits from accumulation of CH₄ gas bubbles within synthetic and natural sediments     

Megan Elwood Madden  Shannon Ulrich  Phillip Szymcek  Scott McCallum  Tommy Phelps 《Marine and Petroleum Geology》2009

In order for methane to be economically produced from the seafloor, prediction and detection of massive hydrate deposits will be necessary. In many cases, hydrate samples recovered from seafloor sediments appear as veins or nodules, suggesting that there are strong geologic controls on where hydrate is likely to accumulate. Experiments have been conducted examining massive hydrate accumulation from methane gas bubbles within natural and synthetic sediments in a large volume pressure vessel through temperature and pressure data, as well as visual observations. Observations of hydrate growth suggest that accumulation of gas bubbles within void spaces and at sediment interfaces likely results in the formation of massive hydrate deposits. Methane hydrate was first observed as a thin film forming at the gas/water interface of methane bubbles trapped within sediment void spaces. As bubbles accumulated, massive hydrate growth occurred. These experiments suggest that in systems containing free methane gas, bubble pathways and accumulation points likely control the location and habit of massive hydrate deposits.  相似文献
