Le minerai de fer d'Hajigak (Afghanistan). Position stratigraphique,cadre géologique et type du gisement     

Jean Bouladon  Albert F. de Lapparent 《Mineralium Deposita》1975,10(1):13-25

Age and grade of metamorphism of the considerable iron deposit of Hajigak (Central Afghanistan) have been controversial until now. A recent field study on the eastern part of the district produced new data concerning the geological environment and paragenesis of the ore. The iron beds are situated in the Upper Kalu Formation (= Awband Suite) of lower Paleozoïc, may be Silurian to Lower Devonian age. Basic lavas and tuffs, converted into green-schists, always are present near the ore bodies; and straight relationship is evident between basic rocks and iron ore. We consider the succession of events at Hajigak to be as follows: — at the bottom of a Paleozoïc sedimentary basin, an andesitic submarine volcanism brought along tuffs, lavas, and sericitic and chloritic sediments of exhalative origin; in the same time, hematite and magnetite precipitated. — afterwards gabbro and dolerite sills were intruded; as a result, iron oxides were remobilized, filling fractures across gabbro boundaries, and replacing neighbouring dolomites. — at last, but before Upper Devonian, Lower Paleozoïc rocks of Hajigak and Turkman area were affected by two kinds of metamorphism: the first one, of green-schist facies, is contemporaneous with magmatic activity; the second one, sericitic dynamo-metamorphism, appeared when the folding took place, mainly in the eastern region (Khesh and Zerok areas). In conclusion, the Hajigak iron ore appears to be a submarine — exhalative deposit, synchronous with a Lower Paleozoïc basic volcanic activity (but non ophiolitic).  相似文献   

Geochemistry of the Rare Earth elements in spilites from the oceanic and continental crust     

Albert Günter Herrmann  Mark J. Potts  Doris Knake 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1974,44(1):1-16

Analytical data including major elements, the Rare Earths, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, and Sr are presented for twenty-three spilites from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the Hercynian part of the Variscan geosyncline in Germany, and several localities in Switzerland. Low grade metamorphism (up to approximately 400° C) and spilitization of basaltic rocks apparently do not alter the original Rare Earth element (REE) distributions. This fact permits comparison of the spilites and unaltered tholeiitic basalts from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The relative REE distributions thus appear suitable for delineating the original basalt types of spilites formed by metamorphism. The spilites from the Hercynian part of the Variscan geosyncline have a REE distribution pattern which is characteristic of continental tholeiites. It is thus probable that during the formation of this geosyncline the principal magma extruded was of tholeiitic composition and that these rocks were later converted to spilites by metamorphism.  相似文献   

Erzlagerstättenbildung und permischer Vulkanismus im Raume von Trient (Norditalien)     

Albert Maucher 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1959,48(1):131-140

Zusammenfassung Es werden die Befunde einer Reihe — zum Teil noch unveröffentlichter — geologisch-lagerstättenkundlicher Arbeiten zum Problem der Lagerstättenbildung im Raume von Trient zusammenfassend bekanntgegeben. Es gibt drei verschiedenartige und verschieden alte Lagerstättentypen, deren Bildung sich nicht in eine unitaristische alpine Metallogenese zwängen läßt und deren Beziehungen zum permischen Vulkanismus erörtert werden. Es ergeben sich Hinweise auf ein varistisches Alter des Cima-d'Asta-Granites und interessante Parallelen zum triassischen Vulkanismus in Jugoslawien und zu seinen Lagerstätten.  相似文献   

Efficient reservoir history matching using subspace vectors     

Yafes Abacioglu  Dean Oliver  Albert Reynolds 《Computational Geosciences》2001,5(2):151-172

In this paper, we describe a method of history matching in which changes to the reservoir model are constructed from a limited set of basis vectors. The purpose of this reparameterization is to reduce the cost of a Newton iteration, without altering the final estimate of model parameters and without substantially slowing the rate of convergence. The utility of a subspace method depends on several factors, including the choice and number of the subspace vectors to be used. Computational gains in efficiency result partly from a reduction in the size of the matrix system that must be solved in a Newton iteration. More important contributions, however, result from a reduction in the number of sensitivity coefficients that must be computed, reduction in the dimensions of the matrices that must be multiplied, and elimination of matrix products involving the inverse of the prior model covariance matrix. These factors affect the efficiency of each Newton iteration. Although computation of the optimal set of subspace vectors may be expensive, we show that the rate of convergence and the final results are somewhat insensitive to the choice of subspace vectors. We also show that it is desirable to start with a small number of subspace vectors and gradually increase the number at each Newton iteration until an acceptable level of data mismatch is obtained.  相似文献   

Transports and budgets of volume,heat, and salt from a global eddy-resolving ocean model     

Michael P McCann  Albert J Semtner Jr  Robert M Chervin 《Climate Dynamics》1994,10(1-2):59-80

The results from an integration of a global ocean circulation model have been condensed into an analysis of the volume, heat, and salt transports among the major ocean basins. Transports are also broken down between the model's Ekman, thermocline, and deep layers. Overall, the model does well. Horizontal exchanges of mass, heat, and salt between ocean basins have reasonable values; and the volume of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) transport is in general agreement with what limited observations exist. On a global basis the zonally integrated meridional heat transport is poleward at all latitudes except for the latitude band 30°S to 45°S. This anomalous transport is most likely a signature of the model's inability to form Antarctic Intermediate (AAIW) and Antarctic bottom water (AABW) properly. Eddy heat transport is strong at the equator where its convergence heats the equatorial Pacific about twice as much as it heats the equatorial Atlantic. The greater heating in the Pacific suggests that mesoscale eddies may be a vital mechanism for warming and maintaining an upwelling portion of the global conveyor-belt circulation. The model's fresh water transport compares well with observations. However, in the Atlantic there is an excessive southward transport of fresh water due to the absence of the Mediterranean outflow and weak northward flow of AAIW. Eddies in the mid-latitudes act to redistribute heat and salt down the mean gradients. Residual fluxes calculated from a sum of the computed advective (including eddies), forced, and stored fluxes of heat and salt represent transport mostly due to vertical sub-grid scale mixing processes. Perhaps the model's greatest weakness is the lack of strong AAIW and AABW circulation cells. Accurate thermohaline forcing in the North Atlantic (based on numerous hydrographic observations) helps the model adequately produce NADW. In contrast, the southern ocean is an area of sparse observation. Better thermohaline observations in this area may be needed if models such as this are to produce the deep convection that will achieve more accurate simulations of the global 3-dimensional circulation.  相似文献   

Thermal evolutions of the terrestrial planets   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

M. Nafi Toksöz  Albert T. Hsui  David J. Johnston 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1978,18(3):281-320

The thermal evolution of the Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus and hypothetical minor planets is calculated theoretically, taking into account conduction, solid-state convection, and differentiation. An assortment of geological, geochemical, and geophysical data is used to constrain both the present day temperatures and thermal histories of the planets' interiors. Such data imply that the planets were heated during or shortly after formation and that all the terrestrial planets started their differentiations early in their history. Initial temperatures and core formation play the most important roles in the early differentiation. The size of the planet is the primary factor in determining its present day thermal state. A planetary body with radius less than 1000 km is unlikely to reach melting given heat source concentrations similar to terrestrial values and in the absence of intensive early heating such as short half-life radioactive heating and inductive heating.Studies of individual planets are constrained by varying amounts of data. Most data exist for the Earth and Moon. The Moon is a differentiated body with a crust, a thick solid mantle and an interior region which may be partially molten. It is presently cooling rapidly and is relatively inactive tectonically.Mercury most likely has a large core. Thermal calculations indicate it may have a 500 km thick solid lithosphere, and the core may be partially molten if it contains some heat sources. If this is not the case, the planet's interior temperatures are everywhere below the melting curve for iron. The thermal evolution is dominated by core separation and the high conductivity of iron which makes up the bulk of Mercury.Mars, intermediate in size among the terrestrial planets, is assumed to have differentiated an Fe–FeS core. Differentiation and formation of an early crust is evident from Mariner and Viking observations. Theoretical models suggest that melting and differentiation of the mantle silicates has occurred at least up until 1 billion years ago. Present day temperature profiles indicate a relatively thick (250 km) lithosphere with a possible asthenosphere below. The core is molten.Venus is characterized as a planet similar to the Earth in many respects. Core formation probably occurred during the first billion years after the formation. Present day temperatures indicate a partially molten upper mantle overlain by a 100 km thick lithosphere and a molten Fe–Ni core. If temperature models are good indicators, we can expect that today, Venus has tectonic processes similar to the Earth's.Paper dedicated to Professor Hannes Alfvén on the occasion of his 70th birthday, 30 May 1978.  相似文献   

Rythmes de sédimentation dans le crétacé helvétique     

Albert Carozzi 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1951,39(1):177-195

A new method of sedimentary rocks investigation is proposed. It illustrates by means of curves the variations in both time and space of the main mineral and organic features. By combining them together in a logical way, it is possible to decipher the relations between sedimentation and the different factors governing it: depth, distance to shoreline, direction and strength of marine currents, biological and chemical conditions, tectonics and so on. Finally a paleogeographic classification of lithological facies is obtained.Some examples taken in the Cretaceous of the Swiss High Calcareous Alps are presented. The bathymetrical interpretation of their facies is in close agreement with the results of modern oceanographic investigations which have described in some cases very similar conditions.

Zusammenfassung Eine Interpretationsmethode der Sedimentgesteine wird dargestellt. Mittels Kurven warden die zeitlichen und räumlichen Variationen der wichtigsten mineralogischen und organischen Charaktere ausgedrückt. Die durch diese Kurven gelieferten Angaben werden unter sich in logischer Weise kombiniert und erlauben eine paläogeographische Klassifikation der verschiedenen lithologischen Einheiten. Hiermit ist es möglich, die Verbindungen zwischen der Sedimentation und den verschiedenen Faktoren, welche die letztere beeinflussen, herzustellen: Tiefe, Entfernung von der Küste, Richtung und Stärke der Strömungen, physikalisch-chemische Bedingungen, Tektonik usw. Es werden verschiedene Beispiele aus der helvetischen Kreide dargelegt. Die bathymetrische Interpretation ihrer lithologischen Fazies entspricht den neuesten Arbeiten der Ozeanographie, worin ähnliche aktuelle Bedingungen beschrieben sind.

Hydrogeological interactions between fault zones and alluvial aquifers in regional flow systems     

Albert Folch  Josep Mas‐Pla 《水文研究》2008,22(17):3476-3487

The hydrological influence of fault zones in tectonic areas is usually difficult to depict from field data. Numerical simulation allows representation of such flow systems and an estimation of flow lines and rates. This paper reports on simulations of the groundwater flow in a range‐and‐basin area affected by a regional fault zone, which may drain or recharge an overlaying alluvial aquifer. Different hydraulic conductivity values for the range rocks, the fault‐zone, and the sedimentary infill of the basin are considered, as well as different fault‐zone widths and boundary conditions. Results show that upward and downward fluxes develop in the upper part of the fault zone, controlled by the action of the alluvial aquifer, influencing the recharge of the sedimentary basin. This paper shows the hydrological efficiency of fault zones as preferential flow; it also analyses the constraints that determine groundwater recharge to the surrounding basins. These results contribute to the understanding of hydrogeological dynamics in tectonic areas. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献
