Beckmen KB  Duffy LK  Zhang X  Pitcher KW 《Marine pollution bulletin》2002,44(10):1130-1135

We compared total mercury (THg) concentrations in the fur of northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) from the depleted Pribilof Islands population with those of both declining and thriving populations of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) from Prince William Sound (PWS) and Southeast Alaska (SEA), respectively. Relatively low wet weight concentrations (ranges) of THg were detected in the fur of Steller sea lion (SSL) pups (0.90-3.14 microg/g) and juveniles (0.56-6.75 microg/g) from both areas in 1998 and 2000 compared to northern fur seal (NFS) pups (3.15-8.14 microg/g) in 2000. The mean concentration +/- SD for SSLs sampled were 1.46 +/- 0.64 microg/g for pups (n = 22) and 2.74 +/- 2.89 microg/g for juveniles (n = 6). Analyses indicated higher THg concentrations from SSL pups from PWS compared to the SEA. Mean +/- SD. THg in the NFS pups was 4.90 +/- 1.42 microg/g (n = 34) and for post-partum dams was 7.84 +/- 1.78 microg/g (n = 12).  相似文献

苏北榴辉岩中金红石的微量元素地球化学特征   总被引：5，自引：7，他引：5  

余金杰陈振宇  王平安李晓峰  黄建平王辉 《岩石学报》2006,22(7):1883-1890

本文利用电子探针分析了苏北地区三类榴辉岩中金红石的Nb、Cr和Zr含量，在Zaek et al．（2002）的金红石Nb-Cr图解中，三类榴辉岩的原岩均为镁铁质岩，但它们具有不同的地球化学特征，即（1）小焦G类金红石榴辉岩中金红石的Nb含量最低，平均值为68ppm，而其它两类榴辉岩中金红石的Nb含量较高，平均值介于192～255ppm；（2）蓝晶石榴辉岩具有极高Cr含量，均值6106ppm，而许沟P类榴辉岩中金红石的Cr含量也较高，均值1233ppm，金红石榴辉岩中金红石Cr含量最低，均值为183ppm。利用Zaek et al．（2004）提出的金红石地质温度计，计算得出许沟P类榴辉岩的金红石形成温度介于600～751℃，平均温度689℃；演马厂M类榴辉岩的金红石温度介于507～641℃，平均温度557℃；小焦G类金红石榴辉岩金红石的形成温度介于541～673℃，平均温度613℃；新扬昌G类蓝晶石榴辉岩的金红石形成温度介于541～655℃，平均温度603℃。一种可能的解释是，榴辉岩在拆返过程中退变质作用明显，流体活动强烈，导致金红石中Zr扩散丢失，金红石中Zr含量不同程度地受到角闪岩相退变质过程中再平衡作用的影响，致使计算的温度偏低。  相似文献   

库车坳陷西段出露盐体的溶解物理模拟     

金文正  汤良杰  万桂梅  余一欣 《新疆地质》2006,24(1):37-39

库车坳陷西段古近系库姆格列木群中分布着巨厚的盐岩层,喜山末期构造运动使得大量的盐体在库车前陆褶皱冲断带前缘被逆冲推覆至地表,遭受大气降水的溶解.除了平衡剖面恢复所得出的缩短量之外,盐推覆构造的逆冲推覆距离还应包括溶解盐体的厚度.通过采集研究区出露地表的盐岩样品,进行溶解物理模拟实验,估算自1.64Ma以来,研究区出露盐体的溶解厚度为3.969~14.727km.根据前人利用平衡剖面恢复所计算出该区的盐推覆构造的最大推覆距离为30km以上,从而得出该区的盐推覆构造的最大推覆距离为44.727km以上.  相似文献   

长岭山北麓断裂上新发现的地震地表破裂带   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1       下载免费PDF全文

柳煜  杨斌  李明永  王爱国  刘洪春 《地震工程学报》2006,28(4):319-326

通过野外地震地质调查,在甘肃省古浪县、景泰县交界处的长岭山地区新发现了丰富的线状分布的地震地表破裂现象,表现为基岩崩塌、黄土滑坡、地震裂缝、地震土林、地震沟槽、陷落坑以及断层陡坎等,局部可见残留的破裂滑动自由面。其分布严格受长岭山北麓活动断裂控制。通过地震地表破裂带本身的特征分析、年代学分析、地表破裂带长度与震级的拟合关系以及结合区域活动断裂资料研究,认为该地震地表破裂带可能为1927年古浪8.0级地震的产物。  相似文献

A high-resolution reconstruction of Storglaciären mass balance back to 1780/81 using tree-ring data and circulation indices     

Hans W. Linderholm  Peter Jansson 《Quaternary Research》2007,67(1):12-20

Storglaciären in northernmost Sweden has the world's longest ongoing continuous mass-balance record, starting in 1946. To extend this mass-balance record, we have reconstructed summer (b_S) and winter (b_W) mass balances separately back to the mass balance year 1780/81 with annual resolution. We used tree-ring data for b_S and a set of circulation indices, based on the sea-level pressure, for b_W. Both proxies have correlation coefficients with respective mass balance components of ca. 0.7. The reconstructed net balance (b_N) of Storglaciären was well correlated to the observations during 1946-1980 (r = 0.8, p < 0.05). Our reconstruction agrees well with previously obtained results of northern Sweden glacier variability, where the predominantly positive b_N years between 1890 and 1910 correspond to the well documented post-Little Ice Age advance of Storglaciären. Furthermore, the results suggest that b_S, as a function of summer temperatures, is more important than b_W in determining the b_N, which is contrary to glaciers in the maritime parts of western Scandinavia. In general, b_N has been negative over the last 220 yr, suggesting a predomination of continental conditions over northern Sweden. However, the influence of b_W increased in the late twentieth century, indicating a shift to a more oceanic climate regime.  相似文献   

Enter the working forest: Discourse analysis in the Northern Forest     

Steven A. Wolf  Jeffrey A. Klein 《Geoforum》2007,38(5):985-998

In 1988, four states in the northeastern USA commissioned a study to address land use changes in the Northern Forest, 26 million acres of temperate and boreal forest extending from Maine to eastern New York State. Against a backdrop of economic destabilization and concerns regarding social and ecological implications of a real estate boom, the sustained deliberative dialogue catalyzed by this study has come to rely heavily on the ambiguous concept of “working forest.” To clarify political and environmental dynamics in the region, we analyzed how people respond to and seek to capitalize on the interpretive flexibility of the term working forest. We combine an analysis of socio-political discourses of working forest based on a structured literature review with an assessment of local peoples’ definitions of working forest based on a survey conducted in a pair of contrasting New York State communities. The first study site represents an amenity-oriented community (i.e. a place where the forest supports a service economy including recreation and tourism) and the other study site represents a timber-dependent community. By linking data from community-level analysis to data derived from a general analysis of forest politics, we seek to develop a more robust perspective. By comparing discourses across differently structured communities, we investigate how local forest politics are mediated by local economic development processes. Our study empirically illustrates contested and geographically uneven processes of social construction of environment and rural development in a region confronting pressures of globalization. Results indicate that timber harvesting is a heavily privileged management objective, as a logic of ‘the forest that pays is the forest that stays’ dominates. Environmental politics in the region, and perhaps more generally, increasingly conforms to a form of pragmatism in which economic opportunities structure conservation planning and investment.  相似文献   

Quantitative relationship between pollen and vegetation in northern China   总被引：14，自引：0，他引：14  

XU QingHai  LI YueCong    YANG XiaoLan & ZHENG ZhenHua College of Resource  Environment  Hebei Normal University  Shijiazhuang  China  Institute of Geology  Geophysics  Chinese Academy of Sciences  Beijing  China  Hebei Institute of Geography Science  Shijiazhuang  China 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2007,50(4):582-599

205 surface pollen samples from different communities in Northern China were analyzed to understand the quantitative relationship between pollen and its original vegetation. Pollen analysis and vegetation investigation show that the pollen assemblages differ a lot in different vegetation regions. Arboreal pollen account for more than 30% in temperate broad-deciduous forests region. In temperate steppe regions, herb pollen percentages are more than 90%, where Artemisia and Chenopodiaceae are domi- nant pollen types with Artemisia percentages more than 30%. In temperate desert, Chenopodiaceae pollen percentages are more than Artemisia, where ferns are rare. Cyperaceae pollen percentages are more than 20% in sub-alpine or cold meadows. The relations between pollen percentages and vegeta- tion cover indicate that most arboreal pollen shows a close relationship with parent plant covers, most shrubby pollen types have more or less correlations, but most herbs do not show clear correlations. For arboreal pollen types, Picea pollen shows the closest correlation with spruce trees coverage, then is Quercus and Carpinus. Betula, Larix and Juglans have also high correlation coefficients with their plants coverage, but Betula pollen is of overrepresented pollen type and more than 40% in birch forest, while Larix and Juglans pollen is underrepresented and pollen percentages are more than 10% in Larix or Juglans pure forests. Pinus is of overrepresented pollen type, and pollen percentages have some relations with plants cover. Pine forest might present when Pinus pollen percentages are more than 30%. The relations between Ulmus and Populus pollen percentages and vegetation cover are not close, where they are mixed with other arbors, they cannot be recorded easily, but if their pollen percentages are more than 1%, Ulmus or Populus trees should exist. For shrubby pollen types, the correlation be- tween Vitex pollen percentages and vegetation cover is the highest, then is Corylus, Tamariaceae and Nitraria, and their pollen percentages are less than 1% where original plant are absent. Caragana and Spiraea pollen percentages have some relations with vegetation cover. The relations between pollen percentages and vegetation cover are not clear for Rosaceae and Saxifragaceae. For herb pollen types, Cyperaceae pollen has the closest correlation with vegetation cover, where pollen percentages are more than 20% when Cyperaceae are constructive or dominant species in vegetation, and pollen per- centages are less than 5% where Cyperaceae are not constructive or dominant species (cover less than 30%). Artemisia and Chenopodiaceae pollen percentages mainly have close relations with ecological regions. The relations between pollen percentages and cover are not clear for Gramineae, Legumi- nosae and Compositae.  相似文献   

Rock-magnetic properties of Neogene sediments, northern flank of Tianshan Mountains

Analyses of rock-magnetic properties of Neogene sediments of the Taxihe section, northern Tianshan Mountains, show that the section can be classified into three categories including lacustrine facies, fluvial facies and alluvial facies, which correspond to the lower, middle and upper of the Taxihe section respectively. The magnetic minerals of the lacustrine facies may be affected by the process of weath- ering, lithogenesis and biolithogenesis besides the source of the sediments. The natural remanence intensities are between 10-3 A/m and 10-2 A/m. The minerals are dominated by magnetite and the high coercive magnetic mineral may be goethite. The magnetic grains are the mixture of PSD SD or SD SP. The natural remanence intensities of the strata of fluvial facies are between 10-2 A/m and 10-1 A/m, about ten times that of the lacustrine facies. The magnetic minerals are mainly magnetite and hematite, and the magnetic grains are mainly PSD. The characteristic remanence (ChRM) carriers are magnetites. In the alluvial facies, the natural remanence intensities are mostly less than 1×10-2 A/m. The magnetic minerals of the series are dominated by magnetite and hematite, almost the same as the fluvial facies. But the difference is that most of the stepwise demagnetization can reveal two components and the ChRM carriers are hematites. The magnetic grains are PSD in terms of the hysteresis parameters.  相似文献
