Slingram EMI prospection: Are vertical orientated devices a suitable solution in archaeological and pedological prospection?     

Julien Thiesson  Gabrielle RousselleFrançois Xavier Simon  Alain Tabbagh 《Journal of Applied Geophysics》2011,75(4):731-737

Electromagnetic induction (EMI) is one of the geophysical techniques widely used in soil studies, the slingram devices being held horizontally over the soil surface, i.e. with the coils located at the same height above the ground surface. Our study aims assessing the abilities of slingram devices when held vertically. 1D and 3D modelling have been achieved in order to compare the theoretical responses of vertical devices to the horizontal ones. Some comparative surveys were also undertaken in archaeological contexts to confirm the reliability of theoretical conclusions. Both approaches show that vertical slingram devices are suitable for survey and can constitute an alternative to the usual horizontal orientation. We give a table in Appendix A which contains the calibration coefficient allowing transforming of the values given by some of commercially available devices which would be advantageous to use in vertical orientation  相似文献   

Tephra stratigraphy and eruptive volume of the May, 2008, Chaitén eruption,Chile     

Fabrizio Alfano  Costanza Bonadonna  Alain C. M. Volentik  Charles B. Connor  Sebastian F. L. Watt  David M. Pyle  Laura J. Connor 《Bulletin of Volcanology》2011,73(5):613-630

On May 1st 2008 Mount Chaitén (southern Chile) interrupted a long period of quiescence, generating a sequence of explosive eruptions and causing the evacuation of Chaitén town located a few kilometers south of the volcano. The activity was characterized by several explosive events each associated with plumes which reached up to about 19 km above sea level. The products were dispersed across a wide area, with the finest ash reaching the Atlantic coast of Argentina. Our field observations in the proximal-medial area (3–25 km from the vent) indicate that the May 2008 tephra deposit consists of numerous layers, most of which can be correlated with individual eruptive events. These layers vary from extremely fine-grained ash to layers of lapilli and blocks, composed of both juvenile and lithic material. Here we describe the stratigraphy and physical characteristics of the May 2008 deposits, and propose a reconstruction of the timing of the May 2008 events. The deposits are mainly associated with the three main explosive phases which occurred on 1st–2nd May, 3rd–5th May and 6th May, with an estimated bulk tephra volume of 0.5–1.0 km³ (integration of both exponential and power-law fitting). For the 6th May event, represented by a layer composed mainly of lithic lapilli and blocks (>2 mm), an isopleth map was compiled from which a 19 km plume height was determined, which is in good agreement with satellite observations.  相似文献

对巢湖北部地区以碳酸盐岩为主的寒武系—下三叠统海相地层的黏土矿物分析及伊利石结晶度测定的结果表明:伊利石是本区海相地层的主体矿物,平均体积分数为73%。黏土矿物的成岩转化特征表现为蒙皂石的伊利石化。按照伊利石结晶度的成岩-浅变质程度划分,本区寒武系—下三叠统的成岩作用已达到最高成岩阶段。伊利石结晶度的纵向变化总体上可分为上、下两部分:下部寒武系至志留系的结晶度为0.41～0.60°Δ2θ,结晶度与埋深具有一定的相关性,成岩作用是下部地层黏土矿物特征的主控因素;上部泥盆系至下三叠统的结晶度为0.45～0.77°Δ2θ,呈波动变化,蒙皂石连续出现,地层没有被显著埋藏,沉积因素是上部地层黏土矿物特征的主控因素。下三叠统地层中蒙皂石的分布特征以及上泥盆统五通组顶部高岭石的普遍富集具有重要的古气候研究意义。  相似文献   

Weathering of a Quaternary glass-rich basalt in Bakrit,Middle Atlas Mountains,Morocco. Comparison with a glass-poor basalt     

Lhoucine Karrat  Alain Perruchot  Jean-Jacques Macaire 《Geodinamica Acta》2013,26(5):205-215

Abstract

We compared the disintegration processes and mineralogic and chemical evolution pathways of two Quaternary basalts at Bakrit and Ifrane, weathered in the same physiographic and hydrologic conditions, but differing in texture according to the quantity of glass present. At Bakrit, quite abundant glass favoured the formation of a microfissure network throughout the rock and its disintegration without any distinct weathering front. As a result, basaltic sand with polymineral grains and a clayey-silty matrix were produced. At Ifrane, weathering of a glass-poor basalt produced only a clayey-silty saprolite. In glass-rich basalts, secondary minerals formed in microfissures and were 2/1 clay-mineral rich. In glass-poor basalts, secondary minerals formed mainly within primary minerals and were 1/1 clay-mineral rich. Because glass could be easily dissolved, it protected the minerals of close chemical composition, especially the plagioclases. The order of basalt-mineral weathering (olivine, labrador, augite, Fe-Ti oxides) was modified when glass was abundant (glass, olivine, augite, labrador, Fe-Ti oxides). © Elsevier, Paris  相似文献   

Découverte d’un chevauchement d’âge quaternaire au sud de la Grande Kabylie (Algérie)     

Azzedine Boudiaf  Hervé Philip  Alain Coutelle  Jean-François Ritz 《Geodinamica Acta》2013,26(2):71-80

Résumé

À l’échelle du Maghreb, la Kabylie (Algérie) est considérée comme une région asismique. L’étude détaillée des données de la sismicité historique et instrumentale de cette région montre une activité sismique modérée depuis au moins un siècle et demi (M₁ = 5,0). Les observations géomorphologiques faites sur le versant sud du massif kabyle, s’appuyant sur l’analyse d’images satellites, de photos aériennes et de la topographie, nous ont permis de démontrer la présence d’une activité tectonique quaternaire le long de la rupture de pente au sud de ces massifs. Elle correspond à la réactivation de chevauchements d’âge miocène qui se manifestent par des escarpements d’au moins 10 m affectant le glacis d’âge quaternaire ainsi que les cônes de déjection. Ces escarpements sont interprétés comme des ruptures probablement associées à une succession de séismes de forte magnitude. Les observations que nous décrivons se situent dans la région de Tazmalt et de Boüira où ces déformations sont les plus spectaculaires. L’ampleur des déformations quaternaires qui affectent l’ensemble de cette région considérée jusqu’à l’heure actuelle comme asismique ou faiblement sismique pose, comme dans la plupart des régions intracontinentales, le problème de la période de retour des séismes de forte magnitude. © Elsevier, Paris  相似文献   

Generation of CO2-rich melts during basalt magma ascent and degassing   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

To test mechanisms of basaltic magma degassing, continuous decompressions of volatile-bearing (2.7–3.8 wt% H₂O, 600–1,300 ppm CO₂) Stromboli melts were performed from 250–200 to 50–25 MPa at 1,180–1,140 °C. Ascent rates were varied from 0.25 to ~1.5 m/s. Glasses after decompression show a wide range of textures, from totally bubble-free to bubble-rich, the latter with bubble number densities from 10⁴ to 10⁶ cm^?3, similar to Stromboli pumices. Vesicularities range from 0 to ~20 vol%. Final melt H₂O concentrations are homogeneous and always close to solubilities. In contrast, the rate of vesiculation controls the final melt CO₂ concentration. High vesicularity charges have glass CO₂ concentrations that follow theoretical equilibrium degassing paths, whereas glasses from low vesicularity charges show marked deviations from equilibrium, with CO₂ concentrations up to one order of magnitude higher than solubilities. FTIR profiles and maps reveal glass CO₂ concentration gradients near the gas–melt interface. Our results stress the importance of bubble nucleation and growth, and of volatile diffusivities, for basaltic melt degassing. Two characteristic distances, the gas interface distance (distance either between bubbles or to gas–melt interfaces) and the volatile diffusion distance, control the degassing process. Melts containing numerous and large bubbles have gas interface distances shorter than volatile diffusion distances, and degassing proceeds by equilibrium partitioning of CO₂ and H₂O between melt and gas bubbles. For melts where either bubble nucleation is inhibited or bubble growth is limited, gas interface distances are longer than volatile diffusion distances. Degassing proceeds by diffusive volatile transfer at the gas–melt interface and is kinetically limited by the diffusivities of volatiles in the melt. Our experiments show that CO₂-oversaturated melts can be generated as a result of magma decompression. They provide a new explanation for the occurrence of CO₂-rich natural basaltic glasses and open new perspectives for understanding explosive basaltic volcanism.  相似文献   

Log-uniform distribution of gold deposits along major Archean fault zones     

Olivier Rabeau  Jean-Jacques Royer  Michel Jébrak  Alain Cheilletz 《Mineralium Deposita》2013,48(7):817-824

The location of potentially unrecognized gold deposits in the close vicinity of the Cadillac–Larder Lake Fault Zone in the Archean Abitibi Subprovince (Canada) is predicted by applying a stochastic approach to the distribution of known gold deposits. The methodology uses the distances between neighboring orogenic gold deposits along the fault trace. The cumulative distribution of the curvilinear inter-distances along the fault zone, are adequately represented by a log-uniform model. The average inter-distance is 1.95 km, and an upper inter-distance of 5.6 km is observed. The same distribution pattern appears along the Destor–Porcupine Fault Zone (Abitibi). This log-uniform distribution shows that the spatial distribution of gold deposits is regionally controlled by the major crustal shear zone. Lithologies and structures only seem to exert a local influence at the deposit scale. The log-uniform spacing could be interpreted as the result of the crustal failure locations induced by hydraulic overpressure along mechanically independent segments on the main fault.  相似文献
