Integrated biostratigraphy and palaeoenvironments of an upper Santonian - upper Campanian succession from the southern part of the Eastern Carpathians, Romania

Study of an upper Santonian to upper Campanian hemipelagic succession from the southern part of the Romanian Eastern Carpathians enables us to establish an integrated biostratigraphy based on planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils and to compare this record with the agglutinated foraminiferal biozonation used for the Carpathians.Benthic foraminiferal assemblages were investigated using several methods, such as agglutinated and calcareous benthic foraminiferal morphogroups, and the benthic foraminiferal oxygen index in order to determine their response to environmental parameters in the basin (correlated with sea-level maxima documented by regional sea-level curves for the Tethys). A pattern of changes in benthic foraminiferal communities associated with increased organic carbon flux and rising sea-levels can be summarized as follows in the studied succession. As sea-level begins to rise there is an increase in the proportion of calcareous benthic foraminifera at the expense of agglutinated foraminifera within the benthic assemblages (earliest Campanian, mid-late Campanian). Once sea-level rises, an increase in the elongate keeled morphotype of agglutinated foraminifera (shallower water forms) can be observed, and if sea-level remains high for an extended period (as in the early Campanian) then an invasion of both agglutinated and benthic calcareous foraminifera characteristic of outer shelf-upper slope environments take place in the basin. The variations in tubular and deep infaunal morphotypes of agglutinated foraminifera are ascribed to varying levels of organic carbon flux.  相似文献   

Phosphate uptake in a macrophyte-rich Pampean stream     

Claudia Feijoó  Adonis Giorgi  Nicolás Ferreiro 《Limnologica》2011,41(4):285-289

We estimated phosphate uptake in an eutrophic and macrophyte-rich Pampean stream, in a basin where dominant land use was agricultural activity. Our hypothesis was that phosphate retention may be linked to macrophyte abundance, especially that of submerged plants. Four short-term constant-rate phosphate addition experiments were carried out in late spring, summer, autumn and winter under different discharge, background phosphate concentration and macrophyte abundance. Changes in added soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentration were monitored along the studied reach and corrected for dilution to estimate phosphate uptake length (S_w) and other spiraling metrics (V_f or mass transfer coefficient, and U or nutrient uptake rate). All spiraling metrics indicated a higher SRP retention in spring than in autumn, despite macrophyte cover was similar in both sampling dates (39% and 51%, respectively). Phosphate retention was not detected neither in summer (when macrophyte biomass and especially that of submerged plants was the highest one) nor in winter. Ambient SRP concentrations in the stream were an order of magnitude higher than concentrations observed in pristine streams; nevertheless, under the varying conditions of discharge and phosphate levels observed in our study, we found no retention in summer and winter, a phosphate uptake comparable with those measured in impaired streams in autumn, and with those measured in pristine streams in late spring.  相似文献   

Sphalerite oxidation pathways detected by oxygen and sulfur isotope studies     

Claudia Heidel  Marion Tichomirowa  Cornelia Breitkopf 《Applied Geochemistry》2011,26(12):2247-2259

Sphalerite oxidation is a common process under acid-mine drainage (AMD) conditions and results in the release of , Zn and potentially toxic trace metals, which can pollute rivers and oceans. However, there are only a few studies on the mechanisms of aerobic sphalerite oxidation. Oxygen and S isotope investigations of the produced may contribute to the understanding of sphalerite oxidation mechanisms so helping to interpret field data from AMD sites. Therefore, batch oxidation experiments with an Fe-rich sphalerite were performed under aerobic abiotic conditions at different initial pH values (2 and 6) for different lengths of time (2–100 days). The O and S isotope composition of the produced indicated changing oxidation pathways during the experiments. During the first 20 days of the experiments at both initial pH values, molecular O₂ was the exclusive O source of . Furthermore, the lack of S isotope enrichment processes between and sphalerite indicated that O₂ was the electron acceptor from sphalerite S. As the oxidation proceeded, a sufficient amount of released Fe(II) was oxidized to Fe(III) by O₂. Therefore, electrons could be transferred from sphalerite S sites to adsorbed hydrous Fe(III) and O from the hydration sphere of Fe was incorporated into the produced as indicated by decreasing δ¹⁸O_SO4 values which became more similar to the δ¹⁸O_H2O values. The enrichment of ³²S in relative to the sphalerite may also result from sphalerite oxidation by Fe(III).The incorporation of O₂ into during the oxidation of sphalerite was associated with an O isotope enrichment factor ε_SO4–O2 of ca. −22‰. The O isotope enrichment factor ε_SO4–H2O was determined to be ?4.1‰. A comparison with O and S studies of other sulfides suggests that there is no general oxidation mechanism for acid-soluble sulfides.  相似文献   

Thermal behavior of almandine at temperatures up to 1,200°C in hydrogen     

Claudia?Aparicio  Jan?FilipEmail author  Henrik?Skogby  Zdenek?Marusak  Miroslav?Mashlan  Radek?Zboril 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(4):311-318

The thermally induced reductive decomposition of a natural near end-member almandine [^VIII(Fe_2.85Mg_0.11Ca_0.05Mn_0.02)^VI(Al_1.99)^IV(Si_2.99)O₁₂] and possible hydrogen diffusion into its structure have been carried out at temperatures up to 1,200°C, monitored by simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared and ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. Below 1,000°C, evidence for hydrogen diffusion into almandine structure was not observed. At temperatures above 1,000°C, reductive decomposition sets in, as displayed by a sharp endothermic peak at 1,055°C on the DSC curve accompanied by a total mass loss of 3.51%. We observe the following decomposition mechanism: almandine + hydrogen → α-Fe + cristobalite + hercynite + water. At higher temperatures, fayalite and sekaninaite are formed by consecutive reaction of α-Fe with cristobalite and water, and cristobalite with hercynite, respectively. The metallic α-Fe phase forms spherical and isolated particles (~1 μm).  相似文献   

Understanding magma evolution at Campi Flegrei (Campania, Italy) volcanic complex using melt inclusions and phase equilibria     

Claudia Cannatelli 《Mineralogy and Petrology》2012,104(1-2):29-42

The magmatic evolution of two eruptive episodes at Campi Flegrei (Italy) has been investigated using phase equilibria modeling (MELTS) and data from melt inclusions (MIs) in phenocrysts from the Fondo Riccio and Minopoli 1 eruptions. Assuming that isobaric fractional crystallization of a mantle-derived parental magma is the dominant petrogenetic process, major element evolution and corresponding changes in the physical and thermodynamic properties of the magma bodies from which Fondo Riccio and Minopoli1 magmas were erupted can be tracked. Fondo Riccio parental magma was trachyandesitic, approximated by the composition of FR-C1-O2-M1, which evolved mainly through fractional crystallization at low pressure (P?≈?0.15?GPa, ≈ 7?km depth), along the QFM, QFM?+?1 oxygen buffer with an initial dissolved H₂O content of ～3?wt%. Minopoli1 parental magma was trachyandesitic, approximated by the chemistry of Mi1-C1-O5-M1, evolved through fractional crystallization at P?≈?0.3?GPa (≈ 12?km depth), with oxygen fugacity along QFM?+?1buffer and initial H₂O content of?～?2 wt%. The relationship between melt fraction and T reveals for Fondo Riccio the presence of a pseudo-invariant temperature at which the physical properties of melt change abruptly. The net effect of these changes is to drive the system towards dynamic instability, which it is suggested to be the trigger mechanism for the eruptions.  相似文献   

Damping‐adjusted combination rule for the response spectrum analysis of base‐isolated buildings     

Giuseppe Muscolino  Alessandro Palmeri  Claudia Versaci 《地震工程与结构动力学》2013,42(2):163-182

The classical response spectrum method continues to be the most popular approach for designing base‐isolated buildings, therefore avoiding computationally expensive nonlinear time‐history analyses. In this framework, a new method for the seismic analysis and design of building structures with base isolation system (BIS) is formulated and numerically validated, which enables one to overcome the main shortcomings of existing techniques based on the response spectrum method. The main advantages are the following: first, reduced computational effort with respect to an exact complex‐valued modal analysis, which is obtained through a transformation of coordinates in two stages, both involving real‐valued eigenproblems; second, effective representation of the damping, which is pursued by consistently defining different viscous damping ratios for the modes of vibration of the coupled BIS‐superstructure dynamic system; and third, ease of use, because a convenient reinterpretation of the combination coefficients leads to a novel damping‐adjusted combination rule, in which just a single response spectrum is required for the reference value of the viscous damping ratio. The proposed approach is specifically intended for design situations where (i) the dynamic behaviour of seismic isolators can be linearised and (ii) effects of nonproportional damping, as measured by modal coupling indexes, are negligible in the BIS‐superstructure assembly.

Requirements Elicitation for Geo-information Solutions     

Claudia Robbi Sluter  Corné P. J. M. van Elzakker  Ivana Ivánová 《The Cartographic journal》2017,54(1):77-90

Geo-information solutions can achieve a higher level of quality if they are developed in accordance with a user-centred design that requires definition of the user requirements in the first step of solution construction. We treat a geo-information solution as a system designed to support human-based activities in a specific context through which solutions to contextual problems can be achieved via geographic knowledge. Geographic knowledge is a result of geo-data exploration, analysis, interpretation and dissemination with a given geo-information system. Taking the characteristics of geo-information systems into account, existing methods and techniques of requirements engineering may be applied for the design and implementation of geo-information solutions. Based on these considerations, here we present a generic framework that can aid geo-information experts, geo-informaticians and cartographers in the design and construction of more efficient, effective and satisfactory solutions.  相似文献   

Multivariate techniques as alternative statistical tools applied to magnetic proxies for pollution: a case study from Argentina and Antarctica     

Marcos A. E. Chaparro  Mauro A. E. Chaparro  Claudia Marinelli  Ana M. Sinito 《Environmental Geology》2008,54(2):365-371

Several statistical analyses—as alternative tools—were applied to magnetic monitoring studies. Magnetic and chemical data from two environments have been gathered from previous papers and studied separately. Univariate and multivariate analyses were first examined, revealing a link between magnetic and chemical variables. The latter analyses, in particular, canonical correlation analysis, showed very good canonical correlations: R = 0.950 (Antarctica) and R = 0.891 (Argentina). On the other hand, in order to classify the data according to the degree of contamination, principal coordinates and discriminant analyses, as well as the comparison of several multivariate means were performed. Three groups were distinguished in both case studies, which were well classified at a low margin of error and quite different from each other at a significant level: 0.01 (Antarctica) and 0.05 (Argentina). The joint use of these statistical analyses also showed, in agreement with previous studies, that the relevant variables in order to identify atmospheric pollution are: magnetic susceptibility, saturation of isothermal remanent magnetisation, anhysteric susceptibility/magnetic susceptibility, remanent coercivity, and copper, lead, zinc and chromium contents.  相似文献
