Spatial and temporal variability of Holocene temperature in the North Atlantic region   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The early Holocene climate of the North Atlantic region was influenced by two boundary conditions that were fundamentally different from the present: the presence of the decaying Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) and higher than present summer solar insolation. In order to assess spatial and temporal patterns of Holocene climate evolution across this region, we collated quantitative paleotemperature records at sub-millennial resolution and synthesized their temporal variability using principal components analysis (PCA). The analysis reveals considerable spatial variability, most notably in the time-transgressive expression of the Holocene thermal maximum (HTM). Most of the region, but especially areas peripheral to the Labrador Sea and hence closest to the locus of LIS disintegration, experienced maximum Holocene temperatures that lagged peak summer insolation by 1000-3000 years. Many sites from the northeastern North Atlantic sector, including the Nordic Seas and Scandinavia, either warmed in phase with maximum summer insolation (11,000-9000 years ago) or were less strongly lagged than the Baffin Bay-Labrador Sea region. These spatially complex patterns of Holocene climate development, which are defined by the PCA, resulted from the interplay between final decay of the LIS and solar insolation forcing.  相似文献   

Abrupt climate change: An alternative view   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Carl Wunsch 《Quaternary Research》2006,65(2):191-203

Hypotheses and inferences concerning the nature of abrupt climate change, exemplified by the Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) events, are reviewed. There is little concrete evidence that these events are more than a regional Greenland phenomenon. The partial coherence of ice core δ¹⁸O and CH₄ is a possible exception. Claims, however, of D-O presence in most remote locations cannot be distinguished from the hypothesis that many regions are just exhibiting temporal variability in climate proxies with approximately similar frequency content. Further suggestions that D-O events in Greenland are generated by shifts in the North Atlantic ocean circulation seem highly implausible, given the weak contribution of the high latitude ocean to the meridional flux of heat. A more likely scenario is that changes in the ocean circulation are a consequence of wind shifts. The disappearance of D-O events in the Holocene coincides with the disappearance also of the Laurentide and Fennoscandian ice sheets. It is thus suggested that D-O events are a consequence of interactions of the windfield with the continental ice sheets and that better understanding of the wind field in the glacial periods is the highest priority. Wind fields are capable of great volatility and very rapid global-scale teleconnections, and they are efficient generators of oceanic circulation changes and (more speculatively) of multiple states relative to great ice sheets. Connection of D-O events to the possibility of modern abrupt climate change rests on a very weak chain of assumptions.  相似文献   

Powder factors in asymmetric blast patterns     

A. T. Spathis 《Fragblast: International Journal for Blasting and Fragmentation》2006,10(3):97-109

A cell powder factor defines the local powder factor in a simple geometric procedure that accounts for the charge in each blast hole and the triangulation formed by blast hole collars in a blast pattern. In the case of asymmetric blast patterns, the cell powder factor deviates from the global powder factor. Poor drilling of blast hole collars produces significant variation in the cell powder factor, more so, than does poor blast hole charging. The cell powder factor does not account for timing within a blast and does not easily handle non-parallel blast hole configurations. The cell powder factor is best used as a design or audit tool before blast holes are loaded. It gives the opportunity to correct for poor drilling and/or poor charging practices prior to firing a blast.  相似文献   

Mineral and fluid inclusions in zircon of UHP metamorphic rocks from the CCSD-main drill hole: A record of metamorphism and fluid activity   总被引：18，自引：0，他引：18

The Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD) main drill hole (0–3000 m) in Donghai, southern Sulu orogen, consists of eclogite, paragneiss, orthogneiss, schist and garnet peridotite. Detailed investigations of Raman, cathodoluminescence, and microprobe analyses show that zircons from most eclogites, gneisses and schists have oscillatory zoned magmatic cores with low-pressure mineral inclusions of Qtz, Pl, Kf and Ap, and a metamorphic rim with relatively uniform luminescence and eclogite-facies mineral inclusions of Grt, Omp, Phn, Coe and Rt. The chemical compositions of the UHP metamorphic mineral inclusions in zircon are similar to those from the matrix of the host rocks. Similar UHP metamorphic P–T conditions of about 770 °C and 32 kbar were estimated from coexisting minerals in zircon and in the matrix. These observations suggest that all investigated lithologies experienced a joint in situ UHP metamorphism during continental deep subduction. In rare cases, magmatic cores of zircon contain coesite and omphacite inclusions and show patchy and irregular luminescence, implying that the cores have been largely altered possibly by fluid–mineral interaction during UHP metamorphism.

Abundant H₂O–CO₂, H₂O- or CO₂-dominated fluid inclusions with low to medium salinities occur isolated or clustered in the magmatic cores of some zircons, coexisting with low-P mineral inclusions. These fluid inclusions should have been trapped during magmatic crystallization and thus as primary. Only few H₂O- and/or CO₂-dominated fluid inclusions were found to occur together with UHP mineral inclusions in zircons of metamorphic origin, indicating that UHP metamorphism occurred under relatively dry conditions. The diversity in fluid inclusion populations in UHP rocks from different depths suggests a closed fluid system, without large-scale fluid migration during subduction and exhumation.  相似文献   

Generation of Porphyritic and Equigranular Mafic Enclaves During Magma Recharge Events at Unzen Volcano, Japan   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

BROWNE  BRANDON L.; EICHELBERGER  JOHN C.; PATINO  LINA C.; VOGEL  THOMAS A.; DEHN  JONATHAN; UTO  KOZO; HOSHIZUMI  HIDEO 《Journal of Petrology》2006,47(2):301-328

Mafic to intermediate enclaves are evenly distributed throughoutthe dacitic 1991–1995 lava sequence of Unzen volcano,Japan, representing hundreds of mafic recharge events over thelife of the volcano. This study documents the morphological,textural, chemical, and petrological characteristics of theenclaves and coexisting silicic host lavas. The eruptive productsdescribed in this study appear to be general products of magmamingling, as the same textural types are seen at many othervolcanoes. Two types of magmatic enclaves, referred to as Porphyriticand Equigranular, are easily distinguished texturally. Porphyriticenclaves display a wide range in composition from basalt toandesite, are glass-rich, spherical and porphyritic, and containlarge, resorbed, plagioclase phenocrysts in a matrix of acicularcrystals and glass. Equigranular enclaves are andesitic, non-porphyritic,and consist of tabular, medium-grained microphenocrysts in amatrix glass that is in equilibrium with the host dacite magma.Porphyritic enclaves are produced when intruding basaltic magmaengulfs melt and phenocrysts of resident silicic magma at theirmutual interface. Equigranular enclaves are a product of a moreprolonged mixing and gradual crystallization at a slower coolingrate within the interior of the mafic intrusion.

为了解岩性在天然气水合物分布中的作用, 利用岩矿鉴定、扫描电镜和能谱法对ODP204航次的 4个站位 10个钻孔共计 115个沉积物样品进行分析, 发现沉积物中矿物成分基本相近, 以粘土矿物为主, 含少量以石英为主的陆源碎屑。样品中含有丰富的硅藻和有孔虫等微体化石, 可形成硅藻粘土—硅藻土、有孔虫硅藻土或凝灰质硅质生物粘土。石英碎屑大多呈棱角状, 粒径小、含量少, 同时, 样品中可见透镜体、团块或旋涡状层状结构以及杂乱堆积的斑杂构造。上述特征表明沉积物为含有大量深海或半深海的浊流沉积物或其夹层。由于钻井岩心中有相当部分的天然气水合物样品分布在上述沉积物中, 推断这些浊流沉积物很可能是ODP204航次天然气水合物的有利储层。  相似文献

中国大陆科学钻探工程5000m主孔位于苏鲁超高压变质带南部。该钻孔0～2000m主要由榴辉岩、片麻岩、石榴石橄榄岩和少量片岩和石英岩组成。累积厚度达1000多米的榴辉岩具有不同的矿物组成、不同的矿物含量和不同的全岩化学成分,可划分成富Si的石英榴辉岩、富Ti的金红石榴辉岩、富Al的多硅白云母和蓝晶石榴辉岩、富Mg的双矿物榴辉岩和具有正常玄武岩成分的普通榴辉岩。榴辉岩的原岩包括基性层状侵入岩和变质表壳岩。榴辉岩全岩成分对石榴石和绿辉石中某些化学组分的含量有明显控制,而且直接影响到变质条件估算的准确性。扩散成分环带的广泛发育表明超高压矿物在早期退变质过程中发生了成分再平衡。这一事实以及具有成分生长环带石榴石变斑晶的存在,为榴辉岩形成在更高温度(>940℃)和更高压力(>4.5GPa)条件下提供了有力的证据。  相似文献

地球内部放射性产热元素U、Th及K(HPE)含量如何随深度的变化而变化是固体地球科学中的一个重要参数,在限定地壳的热和流变学结构、地球化学、岩石和构造模型中起关键性的作用。对HPE深部分布的认识主要来自于对大型花岗岩岩基的研究及对地表热流值和产热率之间关系的模拟,对高压-超高压变质地体的HPE随深度的分布缺乏认识。在苏鲁超高压变质带中实施的中国大陆科学钻探工程届时将提供超过5km的岩心,为确定苏鲁超高压带的HPE结构提供了最好的机会。对CCSD的100～2000m岩心的732块样品详细的放射性产热元素含量的测试及现今产热率计算的初步结果表明:(1)花岗质片麻岩具有最高的产热率,平均为1665×10-11W/kg;(2)副片麻岩(变沉积岩)具有中等的产热率,为994×10-11W/kg;(3)金红石榴辉岩及石榴石橄榄岩具有最低的产热率,为17×10-11～20×10-11W/kg;(4)放射性产热元素的浓度及相应的产热率随岩性的变化而变化,呈现阶梯状的分布特征。产热率随深度的变化特征表明CCSD主孔中的HPE三明治结构。该结构可能代表着高压-超高压变质地体中的典型HPE结构,比大型花岗岩岩基的HPE结构更复杂,与传统的HPE指数衰减分布模式不吻合。CCSD主孔中所揭示的三明治式HPE结构是大陆被动陆缘中的基性及超基性岩、沉积岩及花岗岩在深  相似文献
