Past glacial and interglacial conditions in the Arctic Ocean and marginal seas – a review     

Dennis A. Darby  Leonid Polyak  Henning A. Bauch 《Progress in Oceanography》2006,71(2-4):129

Past changes in the Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas have been profound, even during the last 10,000 years. Understanding these changes, such as those occurring during the transition from glacial to interglacial climates, are important for research on modern processes, because this knowledge provides a framework and unique perspective in which to view the modern physical and biological processes. This paper discusses our current understanding of past environmental change and processes relative to those currently in progress. Special emphasis is placed on the most recent transition from a glacial state to the modern interglacial conditions.  相似文献

"川滇黔接壤铅锌矿集区"是我国西南大面积低温成矿域的重要组成部分,对于其中铅锌矿床是否属于MVT型矿床存在较大争议。本文以该矿集区中代表性矿床——四川天宝山矿床为例,通过LA-ICPMS原位元素分析,结合元素Mapping,以认识该矿床中闪锌矿和方铅矿微量元素组成特征及其赋存状态。研究表明,矿床中闪锌矿以富集Cd、Ge贫Fe、Mn、In、Sn、Co为特征,这些元素均以类质同象形式赋存于闪锌矿中,但含量变化范围较大,这可能与其成矿流体属于低温混合流体有关,这类盆地卤水流体在长期和长距离运移过程中,流经不同基底地层,活化出其中不同微量元素,因此成分变化较大,但以低温元素为主。此外,矿床中闪锌矿Ge和Cu呈现较好正相关关系,暗示其与Zn置换方式为:nC u~(2+)+Ge~(2+)(n+1)Zn~(2+),这可能是该矿床富集Ge的重要原因之一;矿床中方铅矿以富集Ag、Sb贫Bi为特征,含微量Cd和Tl,类质同象是这些元素主要赋存形式,其置换方式为(Ag)~(1+)+(Sb)~(3+)2Pb~(2+);矿床中Ge主要赋存于闪锌矿中,而方铅矿中不含Ge。总体上,本矿床硫化物微量元素组成与MVT型矿床基本一致,明显有别于喷流沉积型矿床、岩浆热液型矿床和远源夕卡岩型矿床,其成矿温度属于低温范围,成矿流体运移方向可能为深部→浅部。结合其矿床地质地球化学特征,本文认为天宝山铅锌矿床属于MVT型矿床,但其中闪锌矿中富集Cu,而方铅矿中富集Ag,可能暗示其形成具有一定特殊性。  相似文献   

Seasonal variability in Atlantic Water off Spitsbergen     

Vladimir V. Ivanov  Igor V. Polyakov  Igor A. Dmitrenko  Edmond Hansen  Irina A. Repina  Sergey A. Kirillov  Cecillie Mauritzen  Harper Simmons  Leonid A. Timokhov 《Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers》2009,56(1):1-14

A combination of 2-year-long mooring-based measurements and snapshot conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) observations at the continental slope off Spitsbergen (81°30′N, 31°00′E) is used to demonstrate a significant hydrographic seasonal signal in Atlantic Water (AW) that propagates along the Eurasian continental slope in the Arctic Ocean. At the mooring position this seasonal signal dominates, contributing up to 50% of the total variance. Annual temperature maximum in the upper ocean (above 215 m) is reached in mid-November, when the ocean in the area is normally covered by ice. Distinct division into ‘summer’ (warmer and saltier) and ‘winter’ (colder and fresher) AW types is revealed there. Estimated temperature difference between the ‘summer’ and ‘winter’ waters is 1.2 °C, which implies that the range of seasonal heat content variations is of the same order of magnitude as the mean local AW heat content, suggesting an important role of seasonal changes in the intensity of the upward heat flux from AW. Although the current meter observations are only 1-year long, they hint at a persistent, highly barotropic current with little or no seasonal signal attached.  相似文献   

Raman study of MgCO3–FeCO3 carbonate solid solution at high pressures up to 55 GPa     

Anna Spivak  Natalia Solopova  Valerio Cerantola  Elena Bykova  Egor Zakharchenko  Leonid Dubrovinsky  Yuriy Litvin 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2014,41(8):633-638

Magnesite, siderite and ferromagnesites Mg_1?x Fe _x CO₃ (x = 0.05, 0.09, 0.2, 0.4) were characterized using in situ Raman spectroscopy at high pressures up to 55 GPa. For the Mg–Fe-carbonates, the Raman peak positions of six modes (T, L, ν₄, ν₁, ν₃ and 2ν₂) in the dependence of iron content in the carbonates at ambient conditions are presented. High-pressure Raman spectroscopy shows that siderite undergoes a spin transition at ~40 GPa. The examination of the solid solutions with compositions Mg_0.6Fe_0.4CO₃, Mg_0.8Fe_0.2CO₃, Mg_0.91Fe_0.09CO₃ and Mg_0.95Fe_0.05CO₃ indicates that with increase in the amount of the Fe spin transition pressure increases up to ~45 GPa.  相似文献

We review petrologic observations of reaction textures from high-grade rocks that suggest the passage of fluids with variable alkali activities. Development of these reaction textures is accompanied by regular compositional variations in plagioclase, pyroxenes, biotite, amphibole and garnet. The textures are interpreted in terms of exchange and net-transfer reactions controlled by the K and Na activities in the fluids. On the regional scale, these reactions operate in granitized, charnockitized, syenitized etc. shear zones within high-grade complexes. Thermodynamic calculations in simple chemical systems show that changes in mineral assemblages, including the transition from the hydrous to the anhydrous ones, may occur at constant pressure and temperature due only to variations in the H2O and the alkali activities. A simple procedure for estimating the activity of the two major alkali oxides, K2O and Na2O, is imple- mented in the TWQ software. Examples of calculations are presented for well-documented dehydration zones from South Africa, southern India, and Sri Lanka. The calculations have revealed two end-member regimes of alkalis during specific metamorphic processes： rock buffered, which is characteristic for the precursor rocks containing two feldspars, and fluid-buffered for the precursor rocks without K-feldspar. The observed reaction textures and the results of thermodynamic modeling are compared with the results of available experimental studies on the interaction of the alkali chloride and carbonate-bearing fluids with metamorphic rocks at mid-crustal conditions. The experiments show the complex effect of alkali activities in the fluid phase on the mineral assemblages. Both thermodynamic calculations and experiments closely reproduce paragenetic relations theoretically predicted by D.S. Korzhinskii in the 1940s.  相似文献   

Search for extrasolar planets by polarimetry     

L. V. Ksanfomality 《Solar System Research》2007,41(4):301-306

Optical polarimetry is suggested as a new method for detecting “hot Jupiter” planets around stars. The polarimetric search method has been tested experimentally; for this purpose, the necessary astronomical observations and their processing have been performed. The results obtained allow us to assert with caution that the suggested method yields positive results and can be of use both in searching for exoplanets and in refining their masses. According to our results, a tangential transit of the planet 51 Peg b may be observed. The angle between the orbital plane of 51 Peg b and the observer’s direction must then be small, sin i ≈ 1, and the mass of 51 Peg b must be close to 0.46 M _J (Jupiter mass).  相似文献

After the discovery of more than 400 planets beyond our Solar System, the characterization of exoplanets as well as their host stars can be considered as one of the fastest growing fields in space science during the past decade. The characterization of exoplanets can only be carried out in a well coordinated interdisciplinary way which connects planetary science, solar/stellar physics and astrophysics. We present a status report on the characterization of exoplanets and their host stars by reviewing the relevant space- and ground-based projects. One finds that the previous strategy changed from space mission concepts which were designed to search, find and characterize Earth-like rocky exoplanets to: A statistical study of planetary objects in order to get information about their abundance, an identification of potential target and finally its analysis. Spectral analysis of exoplanets is mandatory, particularly to identify bio-signatures on Earth-like planets. Direct characterization of exoplanets should be done by spectroscopy, both in the visible and in the infrared spectral range. The way leading to the direct detection and characterization of exoplanets is then paved by several questions, either concerning the pre-required science or the associated observational strategy.  相似文献   

Extrasolar low-orbit planets: Dissipation of their atmospheres and probable magnetic field     

L. V. Ksanfomality 《Astronomy Letters》2007,33(7):488-497

Analysis of the data obtained during transits of low-orbit extrasolar planets across the stellar disk yields different estimates of their atmospheric loss rates. Experimental data point to the probable existence of several distinct subtypes of extrasolar giant planets, including “hot Jupiters” of low density (HD 209458b), with massive cores composed of heavy elements (HD 149026b), and others. We show that the expected hot-Jupiter mass losses due to atmospheric escape on a cosmogonic time scale do not exceed a few percent, while the losses through Jeans dissipation are negligible. We also argue that low-orbit giant planets should have a strong magnetic field that interacts with circumstellar plasma with the planet’s supersonic orbital velocity. The magnetic field properties can be used to search for extrasolar planets.  相似文献

The Polar Urals region of northern Russia is well known for large chromium (Cr)-bearing massifs with major chromite orebodies, including the Centralnoye I deposit in the Ray-Iz ultramafic massif of the Ural ophiolite belt. New data on platinum (Pt)-group elements (PGE), geochemistry and mineralogy of the host dunite shows that the deposit has anomalous iridium (Ir) values. These values indicate the predominance of ruthenium–osmium–iridium (Ru–Os–Ir)-bearing phases among the platinum-group mineral (PGM) assemblage that is typical of mantle-hosted chromite ores. Low Pt values in chromites and increased Pt values in host dunites might reflect the presence of cumulus PGM grains. The most abundant PGM found in the chromite is erlichmanite (up to 15 μm). Less common are cuproiridsite (up to 5 μm), irarsite (up to 4–5 μm), and laurite (up to 4 μm). The predominant sulfide is heazlewoodite, in intergrowth with Ni–Fe alloys, sporadically with pentlandite, and rarely with pure nickel. Based on the average PGE values and estimated Cr-ore resources, the Centralnoye I deposit can be considered as an important resource of PGE.  相似文献
