Seawater intrusion in coastal agricultural areas due to groundwater abstraction is a major environmental problem along the northeastern coast of Australia. Management options are being explored using numerical modelling, however, questions remain concerning the appropriate level of sophistication in models, choice of seaward boundary conditions, and how to accommodate heterogeneity and data uncertainty. The choice of seaward boundary condition is important since it affects the amount of salt transported into the aquifers and forms the focus of the present study. The impact of this boundary condition is illustrated for the seawater-intrusion problem in the Gooburrum aquifers, which occur within Tertiary sedimentary strata. A two-dimensional variable-density groundwater and solute-transport model was constructed using the computer code 2DFEMFAT (Cheng et al. 1998). The code was tested against an experiment for a steady-state freshwater-saltwater interface and against the Elder (Elder 1967) free-convection problem. Numerical simulations show that the imposition of the commonly-used equivalent hydrostatic freshwater heads, combined with a constant salt concentration at the seaward boundary, results in overestimated seawater intrusion in the lower Gooburrum aquifer. Since the imposition of this boundary condition allows water flow across the boundary, which subsequently takes salt into the aquifer, a careful check is essential to estimate whether too much mass of salt is introduced.

Resumen La intrusión de agua salada en áreas agrícolas costeras a causa de la abstracción de aguas subterráneas es un problema medioambiental mayor a lo largo de la costa noreste de Australia. Se están explorando opciones de manejo mediante el uso de modelos numéricos, sin embargo, quedan pendientes cuestionamientos con respecto al nivel apropiado de sofisticación de los modelos, la elección de condiciones de límites hacia el mar y cómo acomodar la heterogeneidad y la incertidumbre de los datos. La elección de límites hacia el mar es importante ya que afecta la cantidad de sal transportada a los acuíferos y forma el centro de interés del presente estudio. Se ilustra el impacto de esta condición de límites para el problema de la intrusión de agua de mar en los acuíferos de Gooburrum, Queensland, Australia. Se construyó un modelo de transporte de solutos y de densidad variable de aguas subterráneas de dos dimensiones mediante el uso del código de computación 2DFEMFAT. El código se probó contra un experimento para una interfase de agua salada-agua dulce de estado constante y contra el problema de Elder de convexión libre. Las simulaciónes numéricas muestran que las cimas de agua dulce hidrostáticas equivalentes utlizadas comúnmente combinadas con una concentración de sal constante en el límite hacia el mar resultan en una sobreestimación de la intrusión de agua de mar en el acuífero bajo de Gooburrum. Puesto que la imposición de esta condición de límites permite flujo de agua a través de los límites, el cual subsecuentemente transporta sal al acuífero, una verificación cuidadosa es esencial para estimar si se introduce demasiada masa de sal.

Résumé Investigations numériques de lintrusion deau de mer à Gooburrum, Bundaberg, Queensland. Lintrusion deau salée due au captage deau souterraine dans les régions agricoles situées le long de la côte Nord-Est de lAustralie est un grave problème environnemental. Des solutions à ce problème sont présentement étudiées à laide de la modélisation numérique. Cependant des questions subsistent concernant le niveau de sophistication du modèle, le choix des limites le long de lintrusion salée et la manière daccommoder lhétérogénéité et lincertitude des données. Le choix de la limite le long de lintrusion deau salée est important puisque cette limite détermine la quantité de sel transporté dans laquifère et constitue le sujet de la présente étude. Leffet du choix de cette limite est bien illustré par le problème dintrusion deau salée dans les aquifères de Gooburrum, Queensland, Australie. Un modèle bidimensionnel découlement à densité variable et de transport de solutés a été conçu en utilisant le code 2DFEMFAT. Ce code a été testé avec une expérimentation ayant pour objet lécoulement en régime permanent dune interface eau salée/eau douce. Il a aussi été mis à lépreuve par le problème de convection libre de Elder. Les simulations numériques révèlent que limposition de la limite communément utilisée, quon appelle la «charge hydrostatique équivalente deau douce», conduit, dans le cas o lon a une concentration constante en sels le long de lintrusion deau salée, à une surestimation de lintrusion deau salée dans laquifère inférieur de Gooburrum. Puisque que cest limposition de cette limite qui permet lécoulement de leau au-delà de la frontière de laquifère, ce qui introduit subséquemment du sel dans laquifère, une vérification minutieuse doit tre effectuée afin de contrôler la quantité de sel introduit.

Nutrient dynamics in the Pomeranian Bay (southern Baltic): Impact of the Oder River outflow     

Marianna?PastuszakEmail author  Klaus?Nagel  Alfred?Grelowski  Volker?Mohrholz  Mariusz?Zalewski 《Estuaries and Coasts》2003,26(5):1238-1254

The Pomeranian Bay is a coastal region fed by the Oder River, one of the seven largest Baltic rivers, whose waters flow through a large and complex estuarine system before entering the bay. Nutrients (NO₃ ⁻, NO₂ ⁻, NH₄ ⁺, Ntot, PO₄ ³⁻, P_tot, DSi), chlorophylla concentrations, oxygen content, salinity, and temperature were measured in the Pomeranian Bay in nine seasonally distributed cruises during 1993–1997. Strong spatial and temporal patterns were observed and they were governed by: the seasonally variable riverine water-nutrient discharges, the seasonally variable uptake of nutrients and their cycling in the river estuary and the Bay, the character of water exchange between the Pomeranian Bay and the Szczecin Lagoon, and the water flow patterns in the Bay that are dominated by wind-driven circulation. Easterly winds resulted in water and nutrient transport along the German coastline, while westerly winds confined the nutrient rich riverine waters to the Polish coast and transported them eastward beyond the study area. Two water masses, coastal and open, characterized by different chemical and physical parameters and chla content were found in the Bay independently of the season. The role of the Oder estuary in nutrient transformation, as well as the role of temperature in transformation processes is stressed in the paper. The DIN:DIP:DSi ratio indicated that phosphorus most probably played a limiting role in phytoplankton production in the Bay in spring, while nitrogen did the same in summer. During the spring bloom, predominated by diatoms, the DSi:DIN ratio dropped to 0.1 in the coastal waters and to 0.6 in the open bay waters, pointing to silicon limitation of diatom growth, similar to what is being observed in other Baltic regions.  相似文献   

Tidal effects on groundwater dynamics in unconfined aquifers     

B. Ataie‐Ashtiani  R. E. Volker  D. A. Lockington 《水文研究》2001,15(4):655-669

The variation of seawater level resulting from tidal fluctuations is usually neglected in regional groundwater flow studies. Although the tidal oscillation is damped near the shoreline, there is a quasi‐steady‐state rise in the mean water‐table position, which may have an influence on regional groundwater flow. In this paper the effects of tidal fluctuations on groundwater hydraulics are investigated using a variably saturated numerical model that includes the effects of a realistic mild beach slope, seepage face and the unsaturated zone. In particular the impact of these factors on the velocity field in the aquifer is assessed. Simulations show that the tidal fluctuation has substantial consequences for the local velocity field in the vicinity of the exit face, which affects the nearshore migration of contaminant in coastal aquifers. An overheight in the water table as a result of the tidal fluctuation is observed and this has a significant effect on groundwater discharge to the sea when the landward boundary condition is a constant water level. The effect of beach slope is very significant and simplifying the problem by considering a vertical beach face causes serious errors in predicting the water‐table position and the groundwater flux. For media with a high effective capillary fringe, the moisture retained above the water table is important in determining the effects of the tidal fluctuations.

Fluid and gas migration in the North German Basin: fluid inclusion and stable isotope constraints   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Fluid inclusions have been studied in minerals infilling fissures (quartz, calcite, fluorite, anhydrite) hosted by Carboniferous and Permian strata from wells in the central and eastern part of the North German Basin in order to decipher the fluid and gas migration related to basin tectonics. The microthermometric data and the results of laser Raman spectroscopy reveal compelling evidence for multiple events of fluid migration. The fluid systems evolved from a H₂O–NaCl±KCl type during early stage of basin subsidence to a H₂O–NaCl–CaCl₂ type during further burial. Locally, fluid inclusions are enriched in K, Cs, Li, B, Rb and other cations indicating intensive fluid–rock interaction of the saline brines with Lower Permian volcanic rocks or sediments. Fluid migration through Carboniferous sediments was often accompanied by the migration of gases. Aqueous fluid inclusions in quartz from fissures in Carboniferous sedimentary rocks are commonly associated with co-genetically trapped CH₄–CO₂ inclusions. P–T conditions estimated, via isochore construction, yield pressure conditions between 620 and 1,650 bar and temperatures between 170 and 300°C during fluid entrapment. The migration of CH₄-rich gases within the Carboniferous rocks can be related to the main stage of basin subsidence and stages of basin uplift. A different situation is recorded in fluid inclusions in fissure minerals hosted by Permian sandstones and carbonates: aqueous fluid inclusions in calcite, quartz, fluorite and anhydrite are always H₂O–NaCl–CaCl₂-rich and show homogenization temperatures between 120 and 180°C. Co-genetically trapped gas inclusions are generally less frequent. When present, they show variable N₂–CH₄ compositions but contain no CO₂. P–T reconstructions indicate low-pressure conditions during fluid entrapment, always below 500 bar. The entrapment of N₂–CH₄ inclusions seems to be related to phases of tectonic uplift during the Upper Cretaceous. A potential source for nitrogen in the inclusions and reservoirs is C_org-rich Carboniferous shales with high nitrogen content. Intensive interaction of brines with Carboniferous or even older shales is proposed from fluid inclusion data (enrichment in Li, Ba, Pb, Zn, Mg) and sulfur isotopic compositions of abundant anhydrite from fissures. The mainly light δ³⁴S values of the fissure anhydrites suggest that sulfate is either derived through oxidation and re-deposition of biogenic sulfur or through mixing of SO₄²⁻-rich formation waters with variable amounts of dissolved biogenic sulfide. An igneous source for nitrogen seems to be unlikely since these rocks have low total nitrogen content and, furthermore, even extremely altered volcanic rocks from the study area do not show a decrease in total nitrogen content.  相似文献   

Dynamics of medium-intensity dense water plumes in the Arkona Basin, Western Baltic Sea     

Hans Burchard  Hans Ulrich Lass  Volker Mohrholz  Lars Umlauf  Jürgen Sellschopp  Volker Fiekas  Karsten Bolding  Lars Arneborg 《Ocean Dynamics》2005,55(5-6):391-402

In this study, the dynamics of medium-intensity inflow events over Drogden Sill into the Arkona Sea are investigated. Idealised model simulations carried out with the General Estuarine Transport Model suggest that most of the salt transport during such inflow events occur north of Kriegers Flak, a shoal with less than 20 m water depth surrounded by water depths of more than 40 m. This assumption about the pathway is supported by recent ship-based observations in the Arkona Sea during a medium-intensity inflow event. The propagation of a saline bottom plume could be observed during several days after having passed Drogden Sill. In the area north of Kriegers Flak the plume was about 10 m thick, and propagated with more than 0.5 m s⁻¹ and a salinity of up to 20 psu (with ambient water salinity being 8 psu) eastwards. Although the model simulations were idealised, the structural agreement between the observation and model result was good. The structure and pathways of these medium-intensity inflow events are of specific interest due to the plans for erecting extensive offshore wind farms in the Arkona Sea which may under certain circumstances lead to increased entrainment of ambient water into the bottom plumes.  相似文献   

Effect of different tropospheric mapping functions on the TRF, CRF and position time-series estimated from VLBI     

Volker Tesmer  Johannes Boehm  Robert Heinkelmann  Harald Schuh 《Journal of Geodesy》2007,81(6-8):409-421

This paper compares estimated terrestrial reference frames (TRF) and celestial reference frames (CRF) as well as position time-series in terms of systematic differences, scale, annual signals and station position repeatabilities using four different tropospheric mapping functions (MF): The NMF (Niell Mapping Function) and the recently developed GMF (Global Mapping Function) consist of easy-to-handle stand-alone formulae, whereas the IMF (Isobaric Mapping Function) and the VMF1 (Vienna Mapping Function 1) are determined from numerical weather models. All computations were performed at the Deutsches Geodätisches Forschungsinstitut (DGFI) using the OCCAM 6.1 and DOGS-CS software packages for Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data from 1984 until 2005. While it turned out that CRF estimates only slightly depend on the MF used, showing small systematic effects up to 0.025 mas, some station heights of the computed TRF change by up to 13 mm. The best agreement was achieved for the VMF1 and GMF results concerning the TRFs, and for the VMF1 and IMF results concerning scale variations and position time-series. The amplitudes of the annual periodical signals in the time-series of estimated heights differ by up to 5 mm. The best precision in terms of station height repeatability is found for the VMF1, which is 5–7% better than for the other MFs.  相似文献   

Comparisons of homogeneously reprocessed GPS and VLBI long time-series of troposphere zenith delays and gradients     

Peter Steigenberger  Volker Tesmer  Manuela Krügel  Daniela Thaller  Ralf Schmid  Sibylle Vey  Markus Rothacher 《Journal of Geodesy》2007,81(6-8):503-514

Troposphere parameters estimated from space-geodetic techniques, like the Global Positioning System (GPS) or Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), can be used to monitor the atmospheric water vapor content. Although the troposphere can only be monitored at discrete locations, the distribution of the instruments, at least the GPS antennas, can be assumed to be quasi-global. Critical in the data analysis are systematic effects within each single technique that significantly degrade the accuracy and especially the long-term stability of the zenith delay determination. In this paper, consistent time-series of troposphere zenith delays and gradients from homogeneously reprocessed GPS and VLBI solutions are compared for a time period of 11 years. The homogeneity of these completely reprocessed time-series is essential to avoid misinterpretations due to individual model changes. Co-located sites are used to investigate systematic effects and the long-term behavior of the two space-geodetic techniques. Both techniques show common signals in the troposphere parameters at a very high level of precision. The biases between the troposphere zenith delays are at the level of a few millimeters. On the other hand, long-term trends significantly differ for the two techniques, preventing climatological interpretations at present. Tests assume these differences to be due to mathematical artifacts such as different sampling rates and unmodeled semi-annual signals with varying amplitudes.  相似文献   

Organic Geochemical Microanalysis by Time‐of‐Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS)     

Peter Sjövall  Volker Thiel  Sandra Siljeström  Christine Heim  Tomas Hode  Jukka Lausmaa 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2008,32(3):267-277

Time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS) is a powerful method for the chemical analysis of solid surfaces. In this paper, the capabilities and limitations of this technique and the potential for its use in geochemical research are outlined. Using ToF‐SIMS, the chemical composition of sample structures down to 10–100 μm can be determined, without the need for pre‐selection or labelling of the analysed substances. In addition, the lateral distribution of organic and inorganic compounds can be mapped in geochemical samples at a resolution in the micrometre range. The capabilities of the technique in geochemistry are illustrated by two examples. In the first example, it is shown that ToF‐SIMS can be used to detect biomarkers in oil samples, making it a promising method for the analysis of biomarkers in fluid inclusions. In the second example, a number of specific lipid biomarkers were identified and mapped on the surface of a microbial mat cryosection surface. Post‐measurement optical microscopy correlated the localisation of the lipids with the presence of methanotrophic archaea in the microbial mat.  相似文献

Volker Stähle 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1970,28(1):72-88

Zusammenfassung Von Glasbomben aus dem Suevit und kristallinen Gesteinen verschiedener Auswurfbreccien des Rieskraters wurden die Nickel- und Kobaltgehalte bestimmt. Die Gläser enthalten 10,0–51,5 ppm Ni (Mittel von 70 Analysen: 30,1 ppmNi) und 4,8–15,8 ppm Co (Mittel von 50 Analysen: 12,1 ppm Co). Die höchsten Nickel- und Kobaltgehalte finden sich in den nicht rekristallisierten und chemisch unveränderten Bomben des Typ I. Die kristallinen Gesteine des Grundgebirges enthalten 2,5–140 ppm Ni (22 Analysen) und 2,2–29,8 ppm Co (22 Analysen).Die Kobaltgehalte der nicht rekristallisierten Gläser sind ziemlich einheitlich (10,7–15,8 ppm) und ebenso hoch wie diejenigen der kristallinen Gesteine ähnlicher Gehalte an MgO, MgO+FeO+Fe₂O₃ und SiO₂. Die Nickelgehalte der nicht rekristallisierten Gläser dagegen streuen inhomogen über einen größeren Bereich (30,0–51,5 ppm). Sie sind im Mittel höher als die der kristallinen Gesteine mit ähnlichen Gehalten an MgO, MgO+FeO+Fe₂O₃ und SiO₂. Der maximale Unterschied beträgt 25 ppm Ni.

Ni and Co in rocks from the Nördlinger Ries

Ni and Co have been determined in glass bombs from the suevite and crystalline rocks from different breccia outcrops in the Ries crater. The glasses contain 10.0–51.5 ppm Ni (average of 70 analyses: 30.1 ppm Ni) and 4.8–15.8 ppm Co (average of 50 analyses: 12.1 ppm Co). Highest contents of Ni and Co are to be found in non-recrystallized and chemically unchanged bombs of type I. Crystalline rocks from the basement contain 2.5–140 ppm Ni (22 analyses) and 2.2–29.8 ppm Co (22 analyses).The Co-contents of non-recrystallized glasses are rather uniform (10.7–15.8 ppm) and as high as those of crystalline rocks of similar content of MgO, MgO+FeO+Fe₂O₃ and SiO₂. The Ni-contents of non-recrystallized glasses are inhomogeneously scattered over a larger range (30.0–51.5 ppm). On the average, they are higher than those of crystalline rocks with similar contents of MgO, MgO+FeO+Fe₂O₃ and SiO₂. The maximum difference is 25 ppm Ni.

Zur paläogeographischen Rekonstruktion erdgeschichtlicher Ozeane     

Dipl.-Geol. Volker Maack 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1981,70(1):78-90

Zusammenfassung Für Simulationsrechnungen der Gezeiten erdgeschichtlicher Ozeane werden hinreichend detaillierte paläogeographische Karten vorgestellt, die global die ungefähre Lage der ozeanischen und kontinentalen Bereiche sowie paläobathymetrische Informationen wiedergeben.Ausgehend von vorhandenen paläokontinentalen Karten, die auf den modernen Konzepten der Plattentektonik und des sea-floor spreading basieren, sind für einige erdgeschichtliche Stadien die einstige Verteilung von Land, Flachmeer und Tiefsee dargestellt. Mittels zusammengefaßter Ergebnisse paläobiogeographischer, geotektonischer, geophysikalischer, sedimentologischer und palökologischer Untersuchungen sind paläogeographische Rekonstruktionen für ein pleistozänes Hochglazial (Saale-Eiszeit), für die Obere Kreide (Ober-Campan), für das Obere Perm (Zechstein) sowie für das Mittlere Silur (Wenlock) abgebildet.Die Problematik bei der Rekonstruktion von Paläozeanen sowie die Interpretation und Kompilation paläogeographischer Daten wird diskutiert.

For modeling the paleotides of ancient oceans you need quiet detailed paleogeographical maps projecting the global distribution of oceanic and continental areas as well as some paleobathymetrical informations. Using available paleocontinental maps which are based upon the modern concepts of the plate tectonics and sea-floor spreading, ancient distributions of land, shallow and deep sea are presented for some geological stages. By means of compiling the results of paleobiogeographical, geotectonical, geophysical, sedimentological, and paleoecological investigations paleogeographical reconstructions are shown for a Pleistocene ice-age (Saale stage), the Upper Cretaceous (Upper Campanian), the Upper Permian (Zechstein), and for the Middle Silurian (Wenlockian).Problems of paleoceanical reconstructions as well as the interpretation and compilation of paleogeographical data are discussed.
