The origin ofBe in island-arc volcanic rocks     

Marc C. Monaghan  Jeffrey Klein  Chris I. Measures 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1988,89(3-4)

The presence of cosmogenic¹⁰Be (t_1/2 = 1.5 × 10⁶ y) in island-arc volcanic rocks has been interpreted as indicating that sediments are subducted to the depths of island-arc magma genesis [1,2]. We have measured¹⁰Be and⁹Be (the stable common isotope) in phenocryst and groundmass fractions separated from four Aleutian volcanic rocks.¹⁰Be and⁹Be covary linearly in three of the rocks proving that the¹⁰Be was incorporated prior to the formation of phenocrysts. In the other rock¹⁰Be and⁹Be do not covary; the lack of covariation indicates either that the rock incorporated¹⁰Be during weathering or that⁹Be-rich xenocrysts were incorporated by mechanical mixing. Our results strongly support the hypothesis of Brown et al. [1] and Tera et al. [2] that sediments containing¹⁰Be are an integral part of island-arc magmatic systems. As we cannot identify the depth at which the¹⁰Be was incorporated we still cannot completely rule out the possibility of assimilation of sediments or altered crust near the Earth's surface as a source of¹⁰Be.  相似文献   

The global-average production rate ofBe     

Marc C. Monaghan  S. Krishnaswami  Karl K. Turekian 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1986,76(3-4)

Precipitation collected in continuously open containers for about a year at seven sites around the United States was analyzed for¹⁰Be,⁹⁰Sr,²¹⁰Pb and²³⁸U. Based on these data and long-term precipitation,⁹⁰Sr and²¹⁰Pb delivery patterns, the stratospheric, tropospheric and recycled¹⁰Be components in the collections were estimated and the global¹⁰Be production rate was assessed. Single station production rate estimates range from 0.52 × 10⁶ atoms cm⁻² yr⁻¹ to 2.64 × 10⁶ atoms cm⁻² yr⁻¹. The mean value is 1.21 × 10⁶ atoms cm⁻² yr⁻¹ with a standard error of 0.26 × 10⁶ atoms cm⁻² yr⁻¹.  相似文献   

Regional roughness of the landes forest and surface shear stress under neutral conditions   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2  

Marc B. Parlange  Wilfried Brutsaert 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1989,48(1-2):69-81

Mean wind velocity profiles were measured by means of radio-windsondes over the Landes region in southwestern France, which consists primarily of pine forests with scattered villages and clearings with various crops. Analysis of neutral profiles indicated the existence of a logarithmic layer between approximately z – d ₀ = 67(±18)z ₀ and 128(+-32)z ₀ (z is the height above the ground, z ₀ the surface roughness and d ₀ the displacement height). The upper limit can also be given as z – d ₀ = 0.33 (±0.18)h, where h is the height of the bottom of the inversion. The profiles showed that the surface roughness of this terrain is around 1.2 m and the displacement height 6.0 m. Shear stresses derived from the profiles were in good agreement with those obtained just above the forest canopy at a nearby location with the eddy correlation method by a team from the Institute of Hydrology (Wallingford, England).  相似文献   

The deep layers of a Paleozoic arc: geochemistry of the Copley-Balaklala series, northern California   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Marc Brouxel  Henriette Lapierre  Annie Michard  Francis Albarde 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1987,85(4)

REE, Zr, Nb concentrations and Sr, Nd isotope compositions have been measured in Copley basalts and andesites, Balaklala rhyolites, and Mule Mountain trondhjemites (northern California) which represent the deep layers of a well preserved intra-oceanic island arc of Siluro-Devonian age.⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr is shifted towards high values (up to 0.707) whereas Ce is preferentially removed from rhyolites. A large proportion of the analyzed samples including some acidic rocks shows a pronounced depletion in light REE. The ε_Nd(T) values of most Copley, Balaklala, and Mule Mountain rocks fall in the range +6 to +8 which suggests that they originated from a normal MORB-type source (ε_Nd(T) ≈ +9) contaminated with either sediments or an OIB-type component.In modern island arcs, only the shallow levels are accessible: comparison with the Copley-Balaklala-Mule Mountain Series suggests that, at depth, an immature island arc is likely to comprise thick layers of LILE-depleted tholeiites and rhyolites intensely altered by pervasive circulation of seawater. Least-square solutions of trace element models suggest that rhyolites and trondhjemites represent remelting of mafic volcanics from the arc basement rather than residual melts of basalt-andesite differentiation.  相似文献

Local erosion rates versus active tectonics: cosmic ray exposure modelling in Provence (south-east France)     

Lionel Siame  Olivier Bellier  Rgis Braucher  Michel Sbrier  Marc Cushing  Didier Bourls  Bruno Hamelin  Emmanuel Baroux  Beatrice de Voogd  Grant Raisbeck  Franoise Yiou 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》2004,220(3-4):345-364

Over the past decade, in situ-produced cosmogenic nuclides have revolutionised the study of landscape evolution. In particular, numerous studies have demonstrated that, in active tectonic settings, cosmic ray exposure dating of deformed or displaced geomorphic features makes it possible to quantify long-term deformation rates. In western European countries, erosion due to climatically driven processes and human activities is probably the factor that most limits the accuracy of exposure ages and landscape modification rates. In this study, we present the results of a depth-profiling technique applied to alluvial terraces located along the Rhône and the Moyenne Durance rivers. The expected decrease with depth of the measured ¹⁰Be concentrations has been modelled using a χ² inversion method in order to constrain the exposure history of the alluvial sediments. The results suggest that: (1) over the Quaternary, the local surface erosion rates including both regional uplift and climatically driven processes acting on landforms are on the order of 30 m/Myr in southeastern France, and (2) providing a fairly good bracketing of the exposure age, the modelled abandonment age of alluvial terraces affected by the Moyenne Durance Fault allows estimating incision rates, comparing the alluvial terrace elevations with topographic river profiles, and a minimum vertical slip rate value of roughly 0.02 mm/yr for the southern segment of the Moyenne Durance Fault.  相似文献   

L'île Crémieu (Jura,France), un plateau calcaire épargné par la tectonique ?     

Muriel Rocher  Marc Cushing  Francis Lemeille  Stéphane Baize 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2004,336(13):1209-1218

The ‘Île Crémieu’, a plateau of Jurassic limestones located in the southern border of the Bresse and at the Jura front, is generally considered as non-deformed. Quaternary ice sheets and drainage have underlined and cleaned out some fracture planes trending NNE and NW–SE that border and crosscut the ‘Île Crémieu’. The analysis of seismic profiles reveals NNE-trending normal faults and NW–SE-trending strike-slip faults, crosscutting the basement to Late Miocene layers. Microtectonic fieldwork shows that these faults exist and were activated during the main Cainozoic tectonic events. To cite this article: M. Rocher et al., C. R. Geoscience 336 (2004).  相似文献

Complex exposure histories of chert clasts in the late Pleistocene shorelines of Lake Lisan,southern Israel

Activities of ²⁶Al and ¹⁰Be in five chert clasts sampled from two beach ridges of late Pleistocene Lake Lisan, precursor of the Dead Sea in southern Israel, indicate low rates of chert bedrock erosion and complex exposure, burial, and by inference, transport histories. The chert clasts were derived from the Senonian Mishash Formation, a chert‐bearing chalk, which is widely exposed in the Nahal Zin drainage basin, the drainage system that supplied most of the material to the beach ridges. Simple exposure ages, assuming only exposure at the beach ridge sampling sites, range from 35 to 354 ky; using the ratio ²⁶Al/¹⁰Be, total clast histories range from 0·46 to 4·3 My, unrelated to the clasts' current position and exposure period on the late Pleistocene beach ridges, 160–177 m below sea level. Optically stimulated luminescence dating of fine sediments from the same and nearby beach ridges yielded ages of 20·0 ± 1·4 ka and 36·1 ± 3·3 ka. These ages are supported by the degree of soil development on the beach ridges and correspond well with previously determined ages of Lake Lisan, which suggest that the lake reached its highest stand around 27 000 cal. years BP . If the clasts were exposed only once and than buried beyond the range of significant cosmogenic nuclide production, then the minimum initial exposure and the total burial times before delivery to the beach ridge are in the ranges 50–1300 ky and 390–3130 ky respectively. Alternatively, the initial cosmogenic dosing could have occurred during steady erosion of the source bedrock. Back calculating such rates of rock erosion suggests values between 0·4 and 12 m My^?1. The relatively long burial periods indicate extended sediment storage as colluvium on slopes and/or as alluvial deposits in river terraces. Some clasts may have been stored for long periods in abandoned Pliocene and early Pleistocene routes of Nahal Zin to the Mediterranean before being transported again back into the Nahal Zin drainage system and washed on to the shores of Lake Lisan during the late Pleistocene.
