Urban Primacy before Mark Jefferson     

William B. Meyer 《Geographical review》2019,109(1):131-145

The phenomenon of urban primacy has been much studied in the social sciences since Mark Jefferson introduced the term in 1939. It is less well recognized that many European and American writers of stature from the late seventeenth century onward had discussed the same phenomenon under other names, often that of a “capital” or its cognates in other languages. Their work attests to the wide currency that the concept enjoyed and offered many important suggestions regarding urban primacy's causes and consequences. Jefferson nonetheless remains a central figure in the history of the idea for having inaugurated the coordinated academic study of the topic.  相似文献   

Thrust tectonics along the north-western continental margin of Sabah/Borneo   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

Widely accepted plate tectonic models suggest that an inactive subduction zone lies along the north-west continental margin of Sabah. In contrast, interpretation of reflection seismic data acquired by BGR shows an autochthonous continental terrane comprising an Oligocene to Early Miocene carbonate platform being progressively overthrust by an allochthonous rock complex. Progressive compression resulted in the development of four structural zones: Imbricated thrust sheets (Zone III); two thrust sheet systems one on top of the other (Zone IV); a complex zone with multiphase deformation (Zone V); and piercement ridges (Zone VI).

Zusammenfassung Nach herkömmlichen plattentektonischen Vorstellungen soll eine inaktive Subduktionszone am nordwestlichen Kontinentalrand von Sabah liegen. Reflexionsseismische Meßdaten der BGR zeigen jedoch, daß hier autochthone kontinentale Kruste mit einer oligozänen-frühmiozänen Karbonatplattform progressiv von einem allochthonen Gesteinsverband überschoben wird. Fortschreitender Zusammenschub seit dem frühen Miozän führte zur Anlage von vier Deformationszonen: Tekonische Schuppen (Zone III); zwei übereinander geschobene Verschuppungssysteme (Zone IV); Gürtel mit mehrphasiger Deformation (Zone V) und Durchspießungsstrukturen (Zone VI).

Résumé Les modèles géodynamiques que l'on admet habituellement comportent une zone de subduction inactive le long de la marge continentale nord-occidentale de Sabah. Toutefois, des mesures de sismique-réflexion exécutées par le BGR font apparaître qu'à cet endroit, une croûte continentale autochtone, comportant une plateforme carbonatée oligocène à éomiocène, est chevauchée progressivement par un complexe allochtone. La compression, qui s'est manifestée progressivement depuis le Miocène inférieur, a engendré quatre zones structurales: un ensemble d'écailles tectoniques (zone III); deux systèmes de lames tectoniques charriés l'un sur l'autre (zone IV); une zone complexe à déformation multiphasée (zone V); des structures d'extrusion tectonique (zone VI).

Cumulate gabbros from the Southwest Indian Ridge, 54°S-7° 16′ E: implications for magmatic processes at a slow spreading ridge     

Peter S. Meyer  Henry J. B. Dick  Geoffrey Thompson 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1989,103(1):44-63

A diverse volcanic and plutonic rock suite was recovered from the center of the 80 km long ridge segment of the Southwest Indian Ridge (54°S, 7°16 E) between the Islas Orcadas and Shaka Fracture Zones. The cumulus nature of the gabbroic rocks in the suite is indicated by phase, modal and cryptic layering, igneous lamination, and low incompatible element abundances. We present a mass-balance model for calculating the proportions and compositions of cumulus phases and crystallized intercumulus liquid from bulk-rock major element compositions. The model is based on the ability to define a compositional array of basaltic liquids and on the assumption that cumulus minerals are initially in equilibrium with trapped liquid. Calculated proportions of trapped liquid range from 3%–15%; values that are characteristic of adcumulates to mesocumulates. Models of postcumulus crystallization indicate significant enrichments of incompatible elements and buffering of compatible elements in residual trapped liquids, thus explaining the high TiO₂ contents observed in magnesian clinopyroxenes. Cumulus phase assemblages and compositions suggest solidification in shallow level magma chambers, but disequilibrium plagioclase compositions suggest some crystallization at greater depth. Furthermore, basalt compositions projected onto the olivine-clinopyroxenequartz pseudoternary suggest magma generation over a range of pressures (from less than 10 to greater than 20 kb) as well as polybaric fractional crystallization. We suggest that the Southwest Indian Ridge is characterized by low magma supply with small batches of melt that either ascend directly to the surface having undergone limited polybaric crystallization or are trapped in shallow crustal magma chambers where they evolve and solidify to form cumulate gabbros. The adcumulus nature of the gabbros investigated here suggests slow cooling rates typical of large intrusions implying relatively large, but ephemeral magma chambers below segments of the Southwest Indian Ridge.  相似文献   

Habitat partitioning between the xanthid crabsPanopeus herbstii andEurypanopeus depressus on intertidal oyster reefs (Crassostrea virginica) in southeastern North Carolina     

David L. Meyer 《Estuaries and Coasts》1994,17(3):674-679

The abundances of the xanthid crabsPanopeus herbstii andEurypanopeus depressus were examined relative to surface oyster shell cover, surface oyster cluster volume, subsurface shell content, substrate sand and silt composition, and oyster reef elevation. During August 1986 through July 1987, xanthid crabs were collected monthly from twelve 0.25 m²×15 cm deep quadrats, during low tide, from intertidal oyster reefs in Mill Creek, Pender County, North Carolina, USA, with respective quadrat details recorded. The abundance ofP. herbstii, and to a lesser degreeE. depressus, was positively correlated with surface shell cover. The abundance ofE. depressus, and to a lesser degreeP. herbstii, was positively correlated with surface cluster volume. The majority ofP. herbstii inhabited the subsurface stratum of the oyster reef, whereas the majority ofE. depressus inhabited the cluster stratum. Seasonality (i.e., temperature) appeared to influence the strata habitation of both species, with a higher incidence of cluster habitation during warmer months and a lower incidence during colder months. Crab abundance was not related to other factors examined, such as subsurface shell, substrate sand and silt composition, or elevation within the oyster reef. The analyses show thatP. herbstii andE. depressus have partitioned the intertidal oyster reef habitat, withE. depressus exploiting surface shell clusters andP. herbstii the subsurface stratum.  相似文献   

Analysis of swarms of high-frequency seismic events at Nevado del Ruiz volcano, Colombia (January 1986–August 1987): Development of a procedure     

Fernando C. Muoz  Alvaro E. Nieto  Hansjürgen Meyer 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1990,41(1-4)

The determination of signal properties like frequency, amplitude, “signature” of the sequence of arrivals of P- and S-phases and the subsequent computation of hypocenter parameters, are the steps of a procedure in the analysis of swarms of high-frequency seismic events from Nevado del Ruiz volcano, which could be useful in other volcanic areas. The use of this procedure on Ruiz data led to the determination of various seismic source volumes, which together with hypocenters of non-swarmed events and the identification of geological features such as faults which cross the area, alignment of domes and volcanic edifices, and the record of low-frequency seismic events not centered in the area of the active vent, suggest the existence of a magma chamber of a rather complex geometry. This hypothesis would suggest that magma, emplaced in zones of weakness (faults) that affect the area, may act as the source of seismic activity. This demands a revision of the methodology used in the deformation measurements, and in the analysis of released energy and event occurrence too. The relations between hypocenters (sources), location and relative energy of the swarms, as well as the general volcanic activity (tremor, ash and gas emission, deformation) could turn out to be a possible means to assist in the identification of premonitory activity and thus be relevant to the process of monitoring and forecasting.  相似文献   

Efficiency test of earthquake prediction around Thessaloniki from electrotelluric precursors     

K. Meyer  P. Varotsos  K. Alexopoulos  K. Nomicos 《Tectonophysics》1985,120(1-2)

Since the completion of the network in January 1983, the electric field of the earth has been continuously monitored at four sites near Thessaloniki, the capital of northern Greece. From the present study and from previous investigations by similar measurements in Greece, it is evident that transient changes of the electrotelluric field occur prior to earthquakes. The analysis of these electric forerunners leads in many cases to a successful prediction of the epicentral area, the magnitude and the time of the impending event. Predictions prior to regional earthquakes are issued and documented with telegrams.From November 1983 until the end of May 1984 twelve earthquakes (M_L > 3.5) occurred in the vicinity of Thessaloniki. Ten of these were predicted and warnings given by telegram, whereas two smaller seismic events were missed. Two additional predictions were unsuccessful. Independent of their magnitudes, predicted events took place within a time window of 6 hrs to 6 days after the observations of the electrotelluric anomalies. The accuracy of the predicted epicenters in eight cases is better than 100 km, which corresponds roughly to the mean distance between the electric stations. Magnitude estimates deviate by less than 0.5 magnitude units from the seismically observed ones.Considering the two largest earthquakes, it is shown that the probability of making each of these predictions by chance is of the order of 10⁻².  相似文献   

Plate and intraplate processes of Hercynian Europe during the late paleozoic     

Volker Lorenz  Ian A. Nicholls 《Tectonophysics》1984,107(1-2)

It is speculated that until Late Carboniferous time the region of Hercynian Europe was occupied by an elongated island arc system underlain by a segment of continental crust. In the Upper Carboniferous, two subduction zones are assumed to have extended from the north and south beneath Hercynian Europe. An extensive zone of hot, partially molten upper mantle lay above and between these, and diapiric uprise of portions of this material led to separation of mafic magmas, widespread partial melting in the lower and middle crust, high temperature-low pressure metamorphism in crustal rocks, and regional uplift and extension of the crust, as indicated by intermontane troughs and their associated volcanic rocks.In Visean to Westphalian time Hercynian Europe collided with both the large neighbouring plates North America-Europe and Africa. During these diachronous collisions and owing to reduced rigidity of the relatively hot island arc crust, the irregular continental margins of the larger and thicker continental plates induced oroclinal bending of Hercynian Europe. After the collision processes had been terminated, processes of upper mantle activity continued, causing further crustal uplift and even, enhanced crustal extension for several tens of million years into the Lower Permian. Decline of the upper mantle activity beneath Hercynian Europe is indicated by crustal subsidence and formation of a peneplain in Permian time followed by the Upper Permian transgression of both the Zechstein sea and the Tethys sea which mark the end of the Hercynian geodynamic cycle.  相似文献   

Deglaciation and postglacial timberline in the San Juan Mountains,Colorado     

P.E. Carrara  W.N. Mode  Meyer Rubin  S.W. Robinson 《Quaternary Research》1984,21(1):42-55

Lake Emma, which no longer exists because of a mining accident, was a tarn in a south-facing cirque near the headwaters of the Animas River in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. During the Pinedale glaciation, this area was covered by a large transection glacier centered over the Lake Emma region. Three radiocarbon dates on basal organic sediment from Lake Emma indicate that by ca. 15,000 yr B.P. this glacier, one of the largest in the southern Rocky Mountains, no longer existed. Twenty-two radiocarbon dates on Picea and Abies krummholz fragments in the Lake Emma deposits indicate that from ca. 9600 to 7800 yr B.P., from 6700 to 5600 yr B.P., and at 3100 yr B.P. the krummholz limit was at least 70 m higher than present. These data, in conjunction with Picea:Pinus pollen ratios from both the Lake Emma site and the Hurricane Basin site of J. T. Andrews, P. E. Carrara, F. B. King, and R. Struckenrath (1975, Quaternary Research 5, 173–197) suggest than from ca. 9600 to 3000 yr B.P. timberline in the San Juan Mountains was higher than present. Cooling apparently began ca. 3000 yr B.P. as indicated by decreases in both the percentage of Picea pollen and Picea:Pinus pollen ratios at the Hurricane Basin site (Andrews et al., 1975). Cooling is also suggested by the lack of Picea or Abies fragments younger than 3000 yr B.P. at either the Lake Emma or the Hurricane Basin site.  相似文献   

Mediterrane Trias — Grundzüge und Probleme     

Prof. Dr. Volker Jacobshagen 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1982,71(3):973-985

Zusammenfassung Die mediterrane oder alpine Trias wurde im 19. Jh. nahezu als Standard-Typus der marinen Entwicklung dieses Systems aufgefaßt. Sie lieferte fast ausschließlich die Faunenfolgen zur biochronologischen Gliederung; Schicht- und Fazies-Bezeichnungen wurden aus dem alpinen Raum bis nach Südostasien übertragen. Eine gewisse Sonderstellung maß man nur ihren Ammonoideen-Faunen zu. Ihre Erforschung schien bald nach der Jahrhundertwende abgeschlossen.Seit zwei Jahrzehnten wird jedoch die Gliederung der mediterranen Trias mit Hilfe der Ammonoidea völlig revidiert. Darüber hinaus konnten neue biochronologische Standards von der phylogenetischen Entwicklung anderer Organismen-Gruppen (Conodonten, Ostracoden, Foraminiferen, Holothurien, Dasycladaceen, Sporen und Pollen) abgeleitet werden. Die marinen Sequenzen des Mittelmeerraumes haben dabei eine wesentliche Rolle gespielt.Zahlreiche moderne Fazies-Analysen, auf die nur kursorisch verwiesen wird, erlauben, die paläogeographischen Konturen im Westteil der triassischen Tethys schärfer zu sehen und ihre geotektonische Entwicklung plattentektonisch zu deuten. Ausgehend von permischen Vorzeichnungen öffneten sich ozeanische Arme im Norden (Vardar-Zone, wahrscheinlich mit Fortsetzung bis in die Alpen) und Süden (Sizilien, Alboran). Dabei wurden einige Mikroplatten von Afrika bzw. Europa abgespalten, von denen die Adria-Platte und ihre geotektonische Differenzierung während der Trias diskutiert werden.

In a first period of exploration, until the beginning of our century, the Mediterranean or Alpine Triassic advanced to be a standard type of the marine development of that period. It served as well as the base for a world-wide biochronological division as for the deviation of facies types.Nevertheless the subdivision of the Triassic with the help of ammonoids was revised during the past decades, and new biochronological standards were derived from the phylogenetic evolution of other taxa: conodonts, ostracodes, foraminifera, holothuroids, dasycladacean algae, and from the palynological record. For these investigations, the Mediterranean region is again of special importance.The results of modern facies analysis which are not reviewed extensely in this paper, allow to discern the palaeogeographic contures in the western part of the Triassic Tethys with more accuracy and to sketch the outlines of a plate tectonic interpretation. Following to Permian configurations two deep branches of this oceans developed, one to the north (Vardar zone, probably to the Alps) and another in the south (Sicily-Alboran). Several microplates were split off from Africa and Europe. The geotectonic differentiation of one of them (Adria microplate) is discussed.

Résumé Au 19ième siècle le Trias méditerranéen ou «alpin» a presque partout été considé ré comme type standard du développement marin de ce système. La subdivision biochronologique est largement basée sur ses faunes, et sa nomenclature stratigraphique fut transférée aux autres régions. Concernant les ammonoïdes, le Trias méditerranéen a, en effet, pris une position spéciale. Au début de notre siècle leur exploration semblait bientôt être achevée.Depuis vingt ans on travaille cependant à la révision de la subdivision du Trias sur la base des ammonoïdes. De plus de nouveaux standards biochronologiques ont pu être établis sur la base de l'évolution d'autres taxa (conodontes, ostracodes, foraminifères, holothuroïdes, algues, spores et pollens). Au cours de ces recherches les séries marines ont joué un rôle important.De nombreuses analyses de faciès dont il n'a été fait mention qu'en passant, permettent de voir plus distinctement dans la région de la Téthys les contours paléogéographiques et d'interpréter, selon la théorie de la tectonique de plaques, leur évolution géotectonique. Tracés déjà au Permien, deux bras océaniques s'ouvraient dans la Téthys occidentale, l'un marqué par la zône du Vardar et allant probablement jusqu'aux Alpes et l'autre dans région de Sicile et de Tunisie. Au cours de ce processus, plusieurs microplaques furent séparées de l'Afrique ainsi que de l'Europe. L'exemple de la microplaque adriatique et son évolution géotectonique au cours du Trias sont brièvement discutés.
