Geothermal gas equilibria     

Werner F. Giggenbach 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1980,44(12):2021-2032

Comparison of theoretical and analytical equilibrium constants based on the reactions CH₄ + 2H₂O = CO₂ + 4H₂, 2NH₃ = N₂ + 3H₂ and iron(II)-aluminium-silicate + 2H₂S = FeS₂ + H₂ + aluminium-silicate, shows that the composition of fluids discharged from geothermal areas in New Zealand (Wairakei, Kawerau, Broadlands) reflects close to complete attainment of chemical equilibrium within the system H₂O, CO₂, H₂S, NH₃, H₂, N₂ and CH₄. Under conditions prevailing in explored geothermal systems in New Zealand, the minerals graphite (elemental carbon), anhydrite, pyrrhotite, magnetite do not appear to take part in the overall equilibrium system. The three physical parameters required to evaluate geothermal gas reactions are temperature, pressure and vapor-liquid ratios within the gas equilibration zone.  相似文献   

Stratigraphisch-fazielle Identifizierung von Sedimenten auf chemisch-geologischem Wege     

Dozent Dr. Werner Ernst 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1966,55(1):21-29

Zusammenfassung Die Bor-Gehalte des paralischen Oberkarbons sind vorwiegend von der ursprünglichen Salinität im Ablagerungsgebiet abhängig. Daneben scheint das Klima eine Auswirkung zu haben, die sich durch die Erhöhung der Bor-Gehalte vom Westfal B an und im Rotliegenden, Keuper und Tertiär bemerkbar macht.

The boron contents of the paralic Upper Carboniferous depend principally on the original salinity in the area of sedimentation. Besides, the climate appears to have an effect that manifests itself by increase in the boron contents from the Westphalian B on and in the Rotliegendes, Keuper and tertiary.

Résumé Les teneurs en bore du Carbonifère supérieur pralique dépendent avant tout de la salinité originale de la région de sédimentation. Par ailleurs, le climat paraît avoir eu une influence qui se traduit par un accroissement des teneurs en bore dans le Westphalien B, le Rotliegende, le Keuper et le Tertiaire.

Metamorpher Übergang Saxothuringikum-Moldanubikum östlich tirschenreuth/opf., nachgewiesen durch phasenpetrologische Analyse     

Prof. Werner Schreyer 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1966,55(2):491-509

Based upon the knowledge of the field relations the mineral assemblages of the various metamorphic rocks of the area are plotted in AKF-diagrams with the aim at determining possible mutual reaction relationships. For the eastern part a continuous metamorphic transition follows, starting with mica schists of the Lower Palaeozoic Saxothuringicum as characterized by the assemblage biotite-muscovite- and alusite through a series of biotite-sillimanite-gneisses with garnet of K feldspar into the high-grade gneisses and migmatites of the Moldanubicum as typified by cordierite-sillimanite-K feldspar parageneses. Hence the age of this metamorphism common to all units is probably early Variscan (= Hercynian). In the western part the Moldanubian unit, in particular, was affected by wide-spread later diaphthoresis creating mineral assemblages like chlorite-biotite-muscovite and chlorite-phengitic white mica, that represent a lower facies than that of the neighbouring mica schists. This diapthoresis is also of Hercynian age, because it is followed by the intrusion of igneous rocks probably during Sudetic (= Middle Carboniferous) times.  相似文献   

Applications of the random model of drainage basin composition     

J. S. Smart  C. Werner 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1976,1(3):219-233

The random model of drainage basin composition is founded on the assumptions that (a) natural channels are topologically random in the absence of geological controls and (b) for channel networks developed in similar environments, the exterior and interior link lengths are independent random variables with a common distribution for each type. The effectiveness of this model in estimating the values of geomorphic variables and in explaining and predicting geomorphic relationships is illustrated by several examples. The data required for these examples were obtained from map studies of 30 channel networks, comprising a total of about 8700 links, in eastern Kentucky. A common factor in the success of all three applications of the model is the way in which the planimetric features of drainage basins are determined by their underlying topologic structure.  相似文献   

Boundary-layer diffusion modelling: The Gaussian plume approach versus the spectral solution     

Helga Nitsche  Werner Wergen  Klaus Fraedrich 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1977,12(2):127-139

The equation of turbulent diffusion is solved for a vertical area source within the planetary boundary layer. The traditional Gaussian-plume approach is compared with the spectral solution of the diffusion equation used together with the barotropic boundary-layer model of Lettau and Dabberdt (1970). The results of the numerical computations are presented and the differences between the solutions are discussed.  相似文献   

The upper thermal stability of clinochlore,Mg5Al[AlSi3O10](OH)8, at 10–35 kb P_{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}}     

Hubert Staudigel  Werner Schreyer 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1977,61(2):187-198

Clinochlore, which is, within the limits of error, the thermally most stable member of the Mg-chlorites, breaks down at = P _tot to the assemblage enstatite+forsterite+spinel+H₂O along a univariant curve located at 11 kb, 838 ° C; 15kb, 862 ° C; and 18 kb, 880 ° C (±1 kb ±10 ° C). At water pressures above that of an invariant point at 20.3 kb and 894 ° C involving the phases clinochlore, enstatite, forsterite, spinel, pyrope, and hydrous vapor, clinochlore disintegrates to pyrope+forsterite+spinel+H₂O. The resulting univariant curve has a steep, negative dP/dT slope of –930 bar/ °C at least up to 35 kb.Thus, given the proper chemical environment, Mg-chlorites have the potential of appearing as stable phases within the earth's upper mantle to maximum depths between about 60 and 100 km depending on the prevailing undisturbed geotherm, and to still greater depths in subduction zones. However, unequivocal criteria for mantle derived Mg-chlorites are difficult to find in ultrabasic rocks.  相似文献

Salinograph trends as indicators of the recession characteristics of stream components     

A. D. Werner  M. Wood  C. T. Simmons  D. A. Lockington 《水文研究》2008,22(16):3020-3028

Compared to hydrograph recession analysis, which is widely applied in engineering hydrology, the quantitative assessment of stream salinity with time (i.e. the salinograph) has received significantly less attention. In particular, while in many previous hydrological studies an inverse relationship between hydrograph and salinograph responses is apparent, the concept of salinity accession (the inversely related salinity counterpart to hydrograph recession) has not been introduced nor quantitatively evaluated in previous literature. In this study, we conduct a mathematical analysis of salinograph accession, and determine new quantitative relationships between salinity accession and hydrograph recession parameters. An equation is formulated that reproduces the general trend in salinity accession. A salinity accession parameter k_c is then introduced and is shown to be the ratio of direct runoff to total stream flow recession parameters: k_r/k. The groundwater recession parameter k_g was estimated using a simple and rapid method that uses both salinograph and hydrograph data. Salinity accession type‐curves illustrate that under certain conditions, the relative steepness of individual salinographs is dependent upon the ratio of groundwater salinity to direct runoff salinity: C_g/C_r. The salinity accession algorithms are applied to two contrasting field settings: Scott Creek, South Australia and Sandy Creek, northern Queensland, Australia. It was found that k_g > k during periods of obvious stream flow recession, for the events analysed. Salinograph accession behaviour was fairly similar for both sites, despite contrasting environments. Using assumed end‐member salinities for groundwater and direct runoff based upon field observations, the behaviour of k_c from the Scott Creek site was approximately reproduced by varying the initial groundwater to runoff flow ratio: Q_g0/Q_r0, within reasonable parameter ranges. The use of salinograph information when used in addition to standard hydrograph analyses provided useful information on recession characteristics of stream components.

Shark interactions in pelagic longline fisheries   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Substantial ecological, economic and social problems result from shark interactions in pelagic longline fisheries. Improved understanding of industry attitudes and practices towards shark interactions assists with managing these problems. Information on fisher knowledge and new strategies for shark avoidance may benefit sharks and fishers. A study of 12 pelagic longline fisheries from eight countries shows that incentives to avoid sharks vary along a continuum, based on whether sharks represent an economic disadvantage or advantage. Shark avoidance practices are limited, including avoiding certain areas, moving when shark interaction rates are high, using fish instead of squid for bait and deeper setting. Some conventionally employed fishing gear and methods used to target non-shark species contribute to shark avoidance. Shark repellents hold promise; more research and development is needed. Development of specifically designed equipment to discard sharks could improve shark post release survival prospects, reduce gear loss and improve crew safety. With expanding exploitation of sharks for fins and meat, improved data collection, monitoring and precautionary shark management measures are needed to ensure that shark fishing mortality levels are sustainable.  相似文献
