Unconsolidated sand, gravel and clay deposits near Beihai and in the Leizhou Peninsula in southern China form an unconfined aquifer, aquitard and a confined aquifer. Water and soil samples were collected from the two aquifers in the coastal Beihai area for the determination of chemical compositions, minerals and soluble ions. Hydrogeochemical modeling of three flow paths through the aquitard are carried out using PHREEQC to determine water–rock interactions along the flow paths. The results indicate that the dissolution of anorthite, fluorite, halite, rhodochrosite and CO₂, and precipitation of potash feldspar and kaolinite may be occurring when groundwater leaks through the aquitard from the unconfined aquifer to the confined aquifer. Cation exchanges between Na and Ca can also happen along the flow paths.  相似文献   

Triassic Nb-enriched basalts, magnesian andesites, and adakites of the Qiangtang terrane (Central Tibet): evidence for metasomatism by slab-derived melts in the mantle wedge   总被引：10，自引：0，他引：10

New chronological, geochemical, and isotopic data are reported for Triassic (219–236 Ma) adakite-magnesian andesite-Nb-enriched basaltic rock associations from the Tuotuohe area, central Qiangtang terrane. The adakites and magnesian andesites are characterized by high Sr/Y (25–45), La/Yb (14–42) and Na₂O/K₂O (12–49) ratios, high Al₂O₃ (15.34–18.28 wt%) and moderate to high Sr concentrations (220–498 ppm) and ε_ND (t) (+0.86 to +1.21) values. Low enrichments of Th, Rb relative to Nb, and subequal normalized Nb and La contents, and enrichments of light rare earth elements combine to distinguish a group of Nb-enriched basaltic rocks (NEBs). They have positive ε_ND (t) (+2.57 to +5.16) values. Positive correlations between Th, La and Nb and an absence of negative Nb anomalies on mantle normalized plots indicate the NEBs are products of a mantle source metasomatized by a slab melt rather than by hydrous fluids. A continuous compositional variation between adakites and magnesian andesites confirms slab melt interaction with mantle peridotite. The spatial association of the NEBs with adakites and magnesian andesites define an “adakitic metasomatic volcanic series” recognized in many demonstrably subduction-related environments (e.g., Mindanao arc, Philippines; Kamchatka arc, Russia; and southern Baja California arc, Mexico). The age of the Touhuohe suite, and its correlation with Triassic NEB to the north indicates that volcanism derived from subduction-modified mantle was abundant prior to 220 Ma in the central Qiangtang terrane.  相似文献   

Cr-spinel/olivine and Cr-spinel/liquid nickel partition coefficients from natural samples     

Chusi Li  Edward M. Ripley  Edmond A. Mathez 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2008,72(6):1678-1684

The Nernst partition coefficient of nickel (D^Ni) between Cr-spinel and silicate melt in natural systems has been investigated using mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) and other volcanic rocks. The Cr-spinel/olivine D^Ni values in volcanic rocks are between 1.2 and 0.3, indicating that the Cr-spinel/liquid D^Ni values vary from slightly higher to significantly lower than the olivine/liquid D^Ni values in natural systems. The Cr-spinel/liquid D^Ni values from the MORB samples vary between 6 and 11, slightly higher than those from the S-bearing experiments of Satari et al. [Satari P., Brenan J. M., Horn I. and McDonough W. F. (2002) Experimental constraints on the sulfide- and chromite-silicate melt partitioning behavior of rhenium and platinum-group elements. Economic Geology97, 385-398]. The results of the MORB samples and the experiments of Satari et al. (2002) indicate a negative correlation between the Cr-spinel/liquid D^Ni and the X_Cr values in Cr-spinels (Cr cation number on the basis of 3 total cations in the spinel structure). Variations of Cr-spinel/liquid D^Ni values with Cr-spinel compositions can be estimated from an empirical equation based on the results of the MORB samples and the experiments by Satari et al. (2002). The choice of Cr-spinel/liquid D^Ni = 10 for numerical modeling by Righter et al. [Righter K., Leeman W. P. and Hervig R. L. (2006) Partitioning of Ni, Co, and V between spinel-structured oxides and silicate melts: importance of spinel composition. Chemical Geology227, 1-25] is reasonable for basaltic systems. For picritic and komatiitic systems a lower value of ∼5 is more appropriate.  相似文献   

Exurbia from the bottom-up: Confronting empirical challenges to characterizing a complex system   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

We describe empirical results from a multi-disciplinary project that support modeling complex processes of land-use and land-cover change in exurban parts of Southeastern Michigan. Based on two different conceptual models, one describing the evolution of urban form as a consequence of residential preferences and the other describing land-cover changes in an exurban township as a consequence of residential preferences, local policies, and a diversity of development types, we describe a variety of empirical data collected to support the mechanisms that we encoded in computational agent-based models. We used multiple methods, including social surveys, remote sensing, and statistical analysis of spatial data, to collect data that could be used to validate the structure of our models, calibrate their specific parameters, and evaluate their output. The data were used to investigate this system in the context of several themes from complexity science, including have (a) macro-level patterns; (b) autonomous decision making entities (i.e., agents); (c) heterogeneity among those entities; (d) social and spatial interactions that operate across multiple scales and (e) nonlinear feedback mechanisms. The results point to the importance of collecting data on agents and their interactions when producing agent-based models, the general validity of our conceptual models, and some changes that we needed to make to these models following data analysis. The calibrated models have been and are being used to evaluate landscape dynamics and the effects of various policy interventions on urban land-cover patterns.  相似文献   

Church-based social capital, networks and geographical scale: Katrina evacuation, relocation, and recovery in a New Orleans Vietnamese American community     

Christopher A. Airriess  Wei Li  Karen J. Leong  Angela Chia-Chen Chen  Verna M. Keith 《Geoforum》2008,39(3):1333-1346

This research examines the role of social capital and networks to explain the evacuation, relocation, and recovery experiences of a Vietnamese American community in New Orleans, Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As the single largest community institution, the parish church’s complex bonding and bridging social capital and networks proved particularly critical in part because of its historically based ontological security. The process of evacuation, but especially relocation and recovery, was dependent on deploying co-ethnic social capital and networks at a variety of geographical scales. Beyond the local or community scale, extra-local, regional, and national scales of social capital and networks reproduced a spatially redefined Vietnamese American community. Part of the recovery process included constructing discursive place-based collective-action frames to successfully contest a nearby landfill that in turn engendered social capital and networks crossing ethnic boundaries to include the extra-local African American community. Engaging social capital and networks beyond the local geographical scale cultivated a Vietnamese American community with an emergent post-Katrina cultural and political identity.  相似文献

含硫化物脉状矿床成矿流体的中阶段 δD亏损：实例与原因   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

陈衍景  张莉 《地球化学》2008,37(4)

很多含硫化物脉状金银矿床的成矿过程可以大致分为3个阶段,从早到晚分别以形成黄铁矿-石英组合、多金属硫化物和碳酸盐网脉为标志.所谓中阶段δD亏损,是指在成矿流体δ18O逐渐降低(或升高)时,中阶段δD同时低于早阶段和晚阶段的δD.列举了一些矿床的氢氧同位素研究结果,例证了这种现象的存在;根据中阶段伴随大量硫化物沉淀的事实,认为硫化物沉淀时流体中H2S或HS-的H 被金属离子置换出来,H 加入到流体系统后导致了流体的中阶段δD亏损.对不同温度H2O-H2S体系1000In ot值的概算显示,在200-650℃温度范围,H2S或HS-的δD低于H2O的δD约211‰～478%‰,H2S或HS-中H 的少量释放即可导致流体水δD的显著降低.因此建议,成矿流体从早到晚δ18O逐渐降低,中阶段δD亏损的规律,可以作为含硫化物脉状矿床氢氧同位素演化的概念性模型.  相似文献

Defect properties of albite     

Stephan Lowitzer  Dan J. Wilson  Björn Winkler  Victor Milman  Julian D. Gale 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2008,35(3):129-135

Knowledge of the defect properties of Lunar and Mercurian minerals has recently become important, with the advent of models which attempt to explain the formation of the thin exosphere of these celestial bodies. Here, we have calculated the formation energies of sodium and oxygen vacancies in the mineral albite (NaAlSi₃O₈), as well as the Schottky defect energy for the removal of a Na₂O unit. We have employed both the supercell and Mott–Littleton approaches, using Kohn–Sham density functional theory and classical interatomic potential methods. As well as reporting the defect energies and structures, we comment upon the relative merits of the methods used.  相似文献   

浙西南淡竹花岗闪长岩中锆石的成因研究及其地质意义   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  

汪相  陈洁  罗丹 《地质论评》2008,54(3):387-398

本文对浙西南地区淡竹花岗闪长岩中的锆石群进行了形态学、地球化学和年代学的系统研究。研究结果表明, 该花岗闪长岩中存在两种不同类型的锆石: 岩浆锆石和变质锆石。前者为自形—半自形的长柱状晶体, 无色透明, 富含岩浆和矿物包裹体, 其背散射电子图像 (BSE图像) 显示出均匀的内部构造 (少数具有韵律环带构造), 其晶型指数落在钙碱性系列花岗闪长岩的范围内; 后者大多数以增生边的形式围绕岩浆锆石生长, 极少量呈他形的粒状晶体, 呈黄褐色—半透明, 其BSE图像亦呈现均匀的内部构造。这两类锆石在化学成分上有较大的差异, 表现为岩浆锆石比变质锆石明显地富U、Th、Y等阳离子置换元素。锆石LAICPMS UPb定年分析结果表明, 岩浆锆石和变质锆石分别形成于1875±33 Ma和209±12 Ma两个不同的时代, 为浙闽运动和印支运动在浙西南地区的表现提供了有力的客观证据。  相似文献
