Post-drilling destabilization of temperature profile in borehole Yaxcopoil-1, Mexico     

Jan Šafanda  Philipp Heidinger  Helmut Wilhelm  Vladimír Čermák 《Hydrogeology Journal》2007,15(2):423-428

As part of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP), the 1.5-km-deep borehole Yaxcopoil-1, located in the Chixculub meteor impact structure in Mexico, has undergone further study after drilling operations ceased. Temperature logs were repeated ten times at intervals 0.3–0.8, 15, 24 and 34 months after borehole shut-in. The logs bear a distinct signature of transient heat transfer by groundwater flow manifested by a gradual distortion of the linear temperature profile when a cold wave of 0.8–1.6°C amplitude was detected propagating downward from 145 to 312 m at a rate of 4–6 m/month. To understand the nature of this moving anomaly, a 20-day monitoring of the cold wave was carried out at a depth of 307 m that showed further cooling of 0.6°C during the first 16 days of the passage followed by temperature stabilisation. As an explanation of this unusual phenomenon, a theory is proposed, whereby the drilling mud has accumulated within the overlying and cooler highly porous and permeable karstic rocks during the drilling and migrates downward. The observed migration rate suggests a permeability higher than 10^?11 m². This indicates a high vulnerability to contamination of the only freshwater aquifer in the Yucatan region.  相似文献   

Ilmenite composition in the Tellnes Fe–Ti deposit,SW Norway: fractional crystallization,postcumulus evolution and ilmenite–zircon relation     

Bernard Charlier  Øyvind Skår  Are Korneliussen  Jean-Clair Duchesne  Jacqueline Vander Auwera 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2007,154(2):119-134

Major and trace element XRF and in situ LA-ICP-MS analyses of ilmenite in the Tellnes ilmenite deposit, Rogaland Anorthosite Province, SW Norway, constrains a two stage fractional crystallization model of a ferrodioritic Fe-Ti-P rich melt. Stage 1 is characterized by ilmenite-plagioclase cumulates, partly stored in the lower part of the ore body (Lower Central Zone, LCZ), and stage 2 by ilmenite-plagioclase-orthopyroxene-olivine cumulates (Upper Central Zone, UCZ). The concentration of V and Cr in ilmenite, corrected for the trapped liquid effect, (1) defines the cotectic proportion of ilmenite to be 17.5 wt% during stage 1, and (2) implies an increase of D _V^Ilm during stage 2, most likely related to a shift in fO₂. The proportion of 17.5 wt% is lower than the modal proportion of ilmenite (ca. 50 wt%) in the ore body, implying accumulation of ilmenite and flotation of plagioclase. The fraction of residual liquid left after crystallization of Tellnes cumulates is estimated at 0.6 and the flotation of plagioclase at 26 wt% of the initial melt mass. The increasing content of intercumulus magnetite with stratigraphic height, from 0 to ca. 3 wt%, results from differentiation of the trapped liquid towards magnetite saturation. The MgO content of ilmenite (1.4–4.4 wt%) is much lower than the expected cumulus composition. It shows extensive postcumulus re-equilibration with trapped liquid and ferromagnesian silicates, correlated with distance to the host anorthosite. The Zr content of ilmenite, provided by in situ analyses, is low (<114 ppm) and uncorrelated with stratigraphy or Cr content. The data demonstrate that zircon coronas observed around ilmenite formed by subsolidus exsolution of ZrO₂ from ilmenite. The U-Pb zircon age of 920 ± 3 Ma probably records this exsolution process.

Mineralogical,geochemical and microfabric evidences of gypsum crusts: a case study from Budapest     

Siegfried Siegesmund  Akos Török  Andre Hüpers  Christian Müller  Werner Klemm 《Environmental Geology》2007,52(2):385-397

High levels of SO₂ and particulate pollution enable the rapid development of gypsum-rich weathering crusts in Budapest. Two types of white crusts, thin and thick ones, and two forms of black crusts, laminar and framboidal ones, were studied in limestone buildings of the parliament and Citadella. The percentage of crust cover and damage categories were documented on selected walls. Petrographic, XRD, XRF and sulphur isotope analyses were performed under laboratory conditions to understand the mechanism of crust formation. White crusts found both on exposed and sheltered walls display a calcite-rich layer with gypsum, while black crusts are enriched with gypsum. The sulphur isotopic composition of white and black crusts overlaps, but the crusts are slightly enriched in heavy isotopes compared to rainwater. S content, Si/Al ratios and particulates in black crusts suggest that air pollution (SO₂, dust) contributes to black crust formation. The accumulation of sulphur and Zn enrichment of white crusts were also documented indicating that under high pollution levels, even these compound can accumulate on exposed facades.  相似文献   

Possibilities of GPS Kinematic Measurements for Geological Survey in East Slovakia     

Vladimir  Sedlak  Viera  Hurcikova 《地球空间信息科学学报》2002,5(4):21-25

This paper deals with transformation procedures for observed GPS data from the world geodetic system WGS-84 into the national geodetic grid datum S-UTCN(system of united trigonometric cadaster network) and Baa(the Baltic Sea after adjustment).Transformation from WGS-84 into SUTCN is performed most frequently by means of the 7-element Helmert transformation with three identical points.Geodetic network was adjusted by two ways.  相似文献

Improved indirect phase reflection height measurement at panská ves — method,equipment, evaluation     

Vladimír Fišer  Ivan Matys 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》1992,36(3):269-279

Summary Indirect phase reflection height measurements have been performed at the Panská Ves Observatory, Czechoslovakia, for 30 years to monitor solar flare effects (SFA). Only after introducing the new receiver in May 1985, could the indirect phase height analysis (IPHA) method be applied to measurements along the Allouis — Panská Ves 162 kHJ measuring path. The IPHA method allows the electron density and pressure variability in the lower ionosphere to be studied, particularly near the 80 km altitude. This paper describes the theoretical background of the IPHA method, the measuring equipment used at Panská Ves, the method of evaluating records and checking of data, and the program package developed by us both for graphic and numerical processing, as well as our efforts to develop a homogeneous East European IPHA network. The IPHA method has been introduced succesfully at the Panská Ves Observatory.  相似文献   

Direct measurement of U-238 and disequilibrium state in geological samples by low energy scintillation gamma spectroscopy     

Günseli Yaprak  Güngr Yener 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》1992,42(2-3)

A method has been developed to determine the state of disequilibrium and uranium content in geological samples using low energy gamma scintillation spectrometry. Ore standards in radioactive equilibrium were prepared in different concentrations and their low energy spectra were compared with those of chemical uranium standards of the same concentrations. The standards were analysed carefully for their U contents using X-ray fluorescence and high resolution gamma spectrometers. Counts of the complex peak under which 63 keV and 93 keV photopeaks take place in ore spectra were compared with the counts in corresponding channels of chemical uranium spectra. For standards in equilibrium it was found that (26 ± 2)% of the counts under complex peak came from Th-234 and also there was a constant relation between Th-234 (63 keV and 93 keV) and Pb-210 (47 keV) counts. The technique was applied to the geological samples for which eU concentrations had been measured previously by means of high energy gamma spectroscopy in the same laboratory.  相似文献
