Further studies on the Fennoscandian gravity field versus the Moho depth and land uplift     

Lars E. Sjöberg  Huaan Fan  Tomas Nord 《Journal of Geodesy》1994,69(1):32-42

Whether post-glacial rebound or/and crustal variation contributes to the pattern of the Fennoscandian gravity field has been of great interest to geoscientists. Previous numerical studies are based on different Moho maps, different global Earth gravity models and different isostatic models of Pratt type, resulting in quite different conclusions.In this study, we use the improved Moho depth map of Korja et al. (1993), the OSU91A Earth gravity model and a refined modeling of the Moho depth contribution. We conclude that not more than about 40% and 30% of the Fennoscandian geoid and gravity depressions of the orders of -12m and -40 mGal might be caused by crustal thickening, leaving at least -6 m and -28 mGal to be adjusted in accordance with post-glacial rebound.  相似文献

Tritium concentrations in river and stream waters from different locations can be compared by normalizing them using the ratio of tritium concentrations in precipitation and surface water (C_p/C_s) in the study area. This study uses these ratios in a hydrological residence time context to make regional‐ and global‐scale comparisons about river basin dynamics. Prior to the advent of nuclear weapons testing, the C_p/C_s ratio was greater than or equal to 1 everywhere because of the decay of tritium in the watershed after it was deposited by precipitation. After an initial increase in the ratios during the bomb peak, the ratio dropped to less than 1 for most surface waters in the following years. This post‐bomb change in the ratio is due to the retention of the bomb‐pulse water in watersheds on timescales that are long relative to the residence time of tritium in the atmosphere. Ratios were calculated for over 6500 measurements of tritium in river and stream waters compiled by the International Atomic Energy Agency. These measurements span the post‐nuclear era (1940s to present) and include many long‐term datasets, which make it possible to examine residence times of waters in watersheds on a global basis. Plotting C_p/C_s versus time shows that ratios tended to reach a minimum in approximately one to two decades after the bomb peak for most locations. This result suggests that changes affecting quantity and quality of river flows need to be assessed on a multi‐decadal timescale. These long lag times have significant implications for assessing climate or land‐use change impacts on a large number of river systems around the world. The continuing value of tritium in studying surface water systems for both the Southern and Northern Hemisphere is also demonstrated. Published 2014.

Groundwater hydrochemistry and origin in the south-eastern part of Wadi El Natrun,Egypt

The demand for water is rapidly increasing in Egypt, because of high population and agriculture production growth rate, which makes research of water resources necessary. The regional multi-aquifer system of the Miocene–Pleistocene age is discharged in Wadi El Natrun area. Intensive aquifer overexploitation and agricultural development in the area are related to groundwater quality deterioration. Hydrochemical and hydrogeological data was evaluated to determine the groundwater origin and quality in the south-eastern part of wadi, which appears to be more significant for water supply owing to lower groundwater salinity. The dominance of the high mineralised Cl groundwater type was found; however, also less mineralised SO₄ and HCO₃ types were identified there. Based on the ion relations, halite and gypsum dissolution and ion exchange are the most important hydrochemical processes forming the groundwater chemical composition. The Cl dominated groundwater matches the discharge part of the regional hydrogeological system. Contrary, the presence of HCO₃ and SO₄ hydrochemical types corresponds to the infiltration and transferring parts of the hydrogeological system indicating the presence of zones conducting low mineralised groundwater. The discharge area of the over-pumped aquifer in Wadi El-Natrun lies 23 m beneath the sea level with the shoreline being at the distance of 100 km, thus there is a real risk of seawater intrusion. Using the hydrochemical facies evolution diagram, four samples in the centre of the discharge area indicate advanced seawater intrusion. The zones of the highest demand for groundwater quality protection were indicated based on a spatial pattern of hydrogeochemical composition.  相似文献   

Accumulation Rate Measurements at Taylor Dome, East Antarctica: Techniques and Strategies for Mass Balance Measurements in Polar Environments     

David L. Morse  Edwin D. Waddington  Hans-Peter Marshall  Tomas A. Neumann  Eric J. Steig  Jack E. Dibb  Dale P. Winebrenner  & Robert J. Arthern 《Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography》1999,81(4):683-694

Accumulation rate measurements on the East Antarctic plateau are challenging due to both spatial and temporal variability. Annual stratigraphy is often not reliably or consistently preserved in the firn, and so accumulation cannot be determined from snow pit stratigraphy. We present a suite of accumulation rate measurements collected over several seasons at Taylor Dome, East Antarctica. We compare net accumulation results from direct burial rate measurements and β -activity firn cores along a 35 km traverse. The two methods are consistent and show that the net accumulation varies from greater than 10 cm a⁻¹ to about 1 cm a⁻¹ (ice equivalent) southwest to northeast across the dome. We map the depth of shallow radar layering to interpolate and extrapolate these point-location measurements and show that considerable variations occur over kilometer scales resulting from subtle surface topography. We also present accumulation rates estimated from concentration of the cosmogenic isotope ¹⁰Be and from activity profiles of ²¹⁰Pb. Finally, satellite passive microwave data are used to estimate spatially averaged accumulation rates on the regional to continental scale to provide a context for these local observations. We show that robust mass balance measurements in this environment must rely on spatial and/or temporal averaging.  相似文献   

Baguio Mineral District: An oceanic arc witness to the geological evolution of northern Luzon,Philippines     

Graciano P. Yumul Jr  Carla B. Dimalanta  Tomas A. Tam III  Estephanie Gera L. Ramos 《Island Arc》2008,17(4):432-442

The Baguio Mineral District exposes rock formations that evince the geological and tectonic evolution of this district from a subduction‐related marginal basin to an island arc setting. Available onshore and offshore data are consistent with an Early (onset phase) to Middle (developed phase) Miocene arc polarity reversal from the east (termination of subduction along the proto‐East Luzon Trough) to the west (initiation of subduction along the Manila Trench). Geophysical modeling and geochemical data calculation showed a 30 ± 5 km crustal thickness for the mineral district. Subduction‐related multiple arc magmatism and ophiolite accretion contributed to crustal thickening. Recent information on the Oligo–Miocene Zigzag and Klondyke formations in the mineral district reveal that the marginal basin, where these rocks were deposited, has received eroded materials from adjacent terrains characterized by siliceous lithologies. Furthermore, adakitic rocks, high permeable zones and extensional zones which are exploration markers applied to identify possible mineralization targets, are prevalent in the mineral district. The geological evolution that the district had undergone mimics the evolution of island arcs worldwide in general and northern Luzon in particular.  相似文献

Magnetic classification of stony meteorites: 3. Achondrites     

Pierre ROCHETTE  Jérôme GATTACCECA  Michèle BOUROT‐DENISE  Guy CONSOLMAGNO  Luigi FOLCO  Tomas KOHOUT  Lauri PESONEN  Leonardo SAGNOTTI 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2009,44(3):405-427

Abstract— A database of magnetic susceptibility measurements of stony achondrites (acapulcoite‐lodranite clan, winonaites, ureilites, angrites, aubrites, brachinites, howardite‐eucrite‐diogenite (HED) clan, and Martian meteorites, except lunar meteorites) is presented and compared to our previous work on chondrites. This database provides an exhaustive study of the amount of iron‐nickel magnetic phases (essentially metal and more rarely pyrrhotite and titanomagnetite) in these meteorites. Except for ureilites, achondrites appear much more heterogeneous than chondrites in metal content, both at the meteorite scale and at the parent body scale. We propose a model to explain the lack of or inefficient metal segregation in a low gravity context. The relationship between grain density and magnetic susceptibility is discussed. Saturation remanence appears quite weak in most metal‐bearing achondrites (HED and aubrites) compared to Martian meteorites. Ureilites are a notable exception and can carry a strong remanence, similar to most chondrites.  相似文献   

Biochemical biomarkers in adult female perch (Perca fluviatilis) in a chronically polluted gradient in the Stockholm recipient (Sweden)     

Hansson T  Schiedek D  Lehtonen KK  Vuorinen PJ  Liewenborg B  Noaksson E  Tjärnlund U  Hanson M  Balk L 《Marine pollution bulletin》2006,53(8-9):451-468

A battery of biochemical biomarkers and the SigmaPCB concentration in adult female perch (Perca fluviatilis) verified an aquatic pollution gradient with the city of Stockholm (Sweden) as a point source of anthropogenic substances. The investigation included both an upstream gradient, 46 km westwards through Lake M?laren, and a downstream gradient, 84 km eastwards through the Stockholm archipelago. Besides the main gradient from Stockholm, there were strong indications of pollution coming from the Baltic Sea. The results indicated a severe pollution situation in central Stockholm, with poor health status of the perch, characterised by increased specific EROD activity in the liver, increased liver EROD somatic index, decreased AChE activity in the muscle, increased amount of DNA adducts in the liver, and a high concentration of biliary 1-pyrenol. In addition, laboratory exposure to common EROD inducers elicited an abnormal response, suggestive of chronic intoxication.  相似文献   

INVESTIGATION OF LAGGED CORRELATION BETWEEN THE TEMPERATURE OF CHINA AND THE GLOBAL OUTGOING LONGWAVE RADIATION IN 1974-1985     

Tao Zuyu  Zhu Yuanjing  Tomas Ting 《Acta Meteorologica Sinica》1991,5(1):16-27

1-12 month lagged correlations between winter temperatures at 22 stations in China and the global dis-tribution of the Outgoing Longwave Radiation(OLR)are investigated.The basic results are:(1)Themonthly averaged temperatures of Dec.,Jan.and Feb.of China are correlated to the global distribution ofOLR of Oct.,Nov.and Dec.,respectively.It is consistent with the response period(about 50 days)of 500hPa geopotential height field in extratropical latitudes to the thermal forcing in tropical latitudes,and also consis-tent with the Walker cell of a 40-60 day oscillation.(2)There is a significant positive correlation betweenthe winter temperature of the most part of China and the OLR in the Gulf of Mexico.It shows that whenthe thermal forcing of the Gulf of Mexico is stronger,the excited barotropic instability of westerlies in northernAtlantic could influence the East Asian circulation and cause the temperature of China to be below normal.(3)The temperature around the Tibetan(Xizang)Plateau is negatively correlated to the OLR in western equa-torial Pacific,showing that when the Walker cell is stronger,the local Hadley cell in Southeast Asia isstronger and it causes the temperature around the Tibetan Plateau to be higher than normal.  相似文献
