Lower Pleistocene deltaic and marine sediments in boreholes from the central North Sea     

Martyn S. Stoker  Alistair J. A. Bent 《第四纪科学杂志》1987,2(2):87-96

Lower Pleistocene sediments recovered in boreholes from the Aberdeen Ground Formation in the central North Sea indicate that the unit was deposited in a delta front to prodelta/shallow, open shelf marine setting. Possible estuarine and clastic nearshore marine deposits have been identified on the western margin of the basin. The delta front sediments consist of interbedded, structureless to laminated sands and muds with organic debris, ferruginous nodules and common soft sediment deformation structures. Sporadic rippled and graded beds, basal scours to beds and starved ripples suggest periodic wave–current reworking. Prodelta/shelf marine sediments are predominantly argillaceous with only occasional thin sand beds and rare phosphatic bands. One exceptionally thick sand body or submarine channel-fill although this remains uncertain. The estuarine/clastic nearshore marine sediments include coarse channel-lag deposits and rippled and laminated subtidal sands. A rich microfossil assemblage recovered from the prodelta/shelf marine sequence indicates that deposition occurred under fluctuating climatic conditions.  相似文献   

Assessment of potential transport of pollutants into the Barents Sea via sea ice--an observational approach     

Korsnes R  Pavlova O  Godtliebsen F 《Marine pollution bulletin》2002,44(9):861-869

The present estimates of ice drift in the Arctic include utilization of satellite imagery data (special sensor microwave/imager) and a reconstruction of air pressure for the period 1899-1998. A significant part of the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has its origin in the Kara Sea and melts in the Greenland and the Barents Sea (BS). Consequently there may be a particular risk of pollutants in the Kara Sea entering the food webs of the Greenland and BS. The ice export from the Kara Sea between 1988 and 1994 was about 208,000 km2 (154 km3) per year. The import of ice into the BS was during the same period 161,000 km2 (183 km3) per year while the ice drift through the Fram Strait into the Greenland Sea was 583,000 km2 (1859 km3) per year. Ice which formed adjacent to the Ob and Yenisey rivers in early January, drifted into the BS within two years (with a probability of about 50%.  相似文献   

Brussels: Five capitals in search of a place. The citizens, the planners and the functions     

Evert Lagrou 《GeoJournal》2000,51(1-2):99-112

The paper describes the different capital city functions that are accomodated in Brussels. There are in fact five different capitals in Brussels in search of a place. Their locations are conditioned by Brussels' eventful history. The analysis subsequently focuses on the rather negative relation between the local public intellectuals and the city's European capital functions. The location of the European headquarters within the existing urban fabric – unlike Luxemburg and Strasbourg – has caused residential expulsion and further confrontations with the local community during all expansions.Brussels has the most politically decisive institutions. The competition with Luxemburg and Strasbourg has in the past given rise to dubious building processes and hidden agendas regarding the further construction of the necessary space for Europe.Unlike most other capitals Brussels has a low degree of esteem from its citizens. The After-May 68- Movement reacting initially against the CIAM-realisations during the 1970s, continues its activities up until today against two highly symbolic projects: the North Station area called the Manhattan Quarter and the European Headquarters. The movement launched the term Brusselization on the international forum and continues to promote the negative image of its city – notwithstanding the complete change of the official urban planning.The article is a plea for the integration of the actual one-sided advocacy planning within a more comprehensive urban planning approach where strong and soft functions are more in balance. This can also improve the quality of the new European campus now under consideration to accomodate the entry of the East European states in the Union.  相似文献   

Influence of long‐period filter cut‐off on elastic spectral displacements     

Sinan Akkar  Julian J. Bommer 《地震工程与结构动力学》2006,35(9):1145-1165

The effect of the long‐period filter cut‐off, T_c, on elastic spectral displacements is investigated using a strong ground‐motion database from Europe and the Middle East. The relation between the filter and oscillator responses is considered to observe the influence of T_c for both analogue and digital records, and the variations with site classification, magnitude, filter order and viscous damping. Robust statistics are derived using the re‐processed European data to generalize the effects of the long‐period filter cut‐off on maximum oscillator deformation demands as a function of these seismological and structural features. Statistics with a 95% confidence interval are derived to suggest usable period ranges for spectral displacement computations as a function of T_c. The results indicate that the maximum period at which spectral displacements can be confidently calculated depend strongly on the site class, magnitude and filter order. The period range where reliable long‐period information can be extracted from digital accelerograms is twice that of analogue records. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Surface Ice Flow Velocity and Tide Retrieval of the Amery Ice Shelf using Precise Point Positioning   总被引：8，自引：1，他引：8  

Xiaohong Zhang  Ole B. Andersen 《Journal of Geodesy》2006,80(4):171-176

Five days of continuous GPS observation data were collected in the frontal zone of the Amery ice shelf and subsequently post-processed using precise point position (PPP) technology based on precise orbit and clock products from the International GNSS service. The surface ice flow velocity of the observed point was derived from PPP to be 2.25 m/day toward the northeast with an azimuth of 41°. Major semi-diurnal and diurnal oceanic tide constituents could be recovered from the 5 days of PPP-derived height variations and compared well with a hydrodynamic ocean tide model. The PPP technique can replace double-difference GPS positioning in remote or hostile environments, and be used to retrieve the surface ice flow velocity without any reference station. Furthermore, the solution can be derived epoch-by-epoch with accuracy in the centimeters to decimeter range.  相似文献   

M L Determination for Local and Regional Events Using a Sparse Network in Southwestern Germany     

Stefan Stange 《Journal of Seismology》2006,10(2):247-257

A method for the determination of consistent local magnitude M _L values (Richter scale, or M _WA) for earthquakes with epicentral distances ranging from 10 km through 1000 km is demonstrated. The raw data consists of nearly 1300 amplitude readings from a network of six digital seismographs in Baden–Württemberg (Southwestern Germany) during 26 months starting in 1995, later extended by another 1000 amplitude readings until 1999. Relying on most of the basics introduced by C.F. Richter a three-parameter attenuation curve (distance correction, magnitude-distance relation) for Baden–Württemberg and adjacent areas is presented. Station corrections are evaluated and the attenuation curve is calibrated with respect to other agencies for distances greater than 650 km. Reasonable parametrisations are discussed and meaningful error bars are attributed. Finally, a seventh station is incorporated by means of its station correction alone, without needing to update the attenuation curve.  相似文献   

Paleoceanographic evolution of the SW Svalbard margin (76°N) since 20,000 C yr BP     

Tine L. Rasmussen  Erik Thomsen  Simon Jessen  Nalân Koç 《Quaternary Research》2007,67(1):100-114

Two cores from the southwestern shelf and slope of Storfjorden, Svalbard, taken at 389 m and 1485 m water depth have been analyzed for benthic and planktic foraminifera, oxygen isotopes, and ice-rafted debris. The results show that over the last 20,000 yr, Atlantic water has been continuously present on the southwestern Svalbard shelf. However, from 15,000 to 10,000 ¹⁴C yr BP, comprising the Heinrich event H1 interval, the Bølling-Allerød interstades and the Younger Dryas stade, it flowed as a subsurface water mass below a layer of polar surface water. In the benthic environment, the shift to interglacial conditions occurred at 10,000 ¹⁴C yr BP. Due to the presence of a thin upper layer of polar water, surface conditions remained cold until ca. 9000 ¹⁴C yr BP, when the warm Atlantic water finally appeared at the surface. Neither extensive sea ice cover nor large inputs of meltwater stopped the inflow of Atlantic water. Its warm core was merely submerged below the cold polar surface water.  相似文献   

Complications for traditional land consolidation in Central Europe   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

Terry van Dijk 《Geoforum》2007,38(3):505-511

An integral part of post-socialist transformation under the Washington Consensus has been the privatisation of previously state owned and/or co-operative farms. In many instances, there have been attempts at ‘turning back the clock’ to pre-War conditions, including land ownership structures. Frequently, the result has been the division of large, economically efficient units into numerous, small and economically barely viable private plots. Following accession to the European Union, these re-constituted peasant-scale structures pose a major challenge to the Union’s agricultural policy. As this paper demonstrates, a simple transfer of western European practices, such as land consolidation, is not possible. The particular legacies of the communist system have given land ownership particular values, legitimacy and personal identity, and emotional bonds. Simple technocratic solutions, as applied in the West earlier, are thus not feasible. Consequently, the paper points out, new forms and instruments of tackling disadvantageous agricultural structures need to be found.  相似文献

广西桂林庙头上泥盆统融县组台地边缘相具鸟眼或溶孔砂屑生屑藻粘结灰岩中发育了大量灰岩脉，灰岩脉呈岩墙状近直立地切过围岩，露头上可见连续垂直延伸长度达十余米，脉内仍是上泥盆统融县组灰岩组分，仅比围岩稍晚或同时代的：角砾状退白云石化藻粘结灰岩、角砾状藻粘结灰岩（快速堆积，角砾多数来自围岩）、细鲕粒颗粒灰岩、含钙球砂屑粒泥灰岩、藻砂屑腹足泥粒灰岩（正常沉积或液化变形软沉积流，均高于围岩层位）及大量栉壳状方解石脉（张性环境）等，灰岩脉内可见软沉积物变形痕迹及液化脉（地震液化），晚期灰岩脉可穿插早期灰岩脉；在其西侧同层位共生有一套楔状（地裂缝）、不规则状角砾灰岩体，角砾棱角状，大小不等，成分是灰色中厚层角砾状藻粘结灰岩、含钙球砂屑粒泥灰岩等。笔者等注意到灰岩脉均出露在北东向正断层的下盘（东侧），而角砾灰岩体则均出露在该断层的上盘（西侧），事实上，灰岩脉及角砾灰岩体分布走向与北东向断层走向一致，角砾灰岩体中的角砾成分显示其来自较灰岩脉围岩稍高层位，与灰岩脉内充填岩性相近，因此，是该断层控制了当时的沉积，此断层是晚泥盆世台地边缘同沉积正断层；灰岩脉是与断层伴生的张性裂隙被围岩角砾或稍晚时段的沉积物充填；角砾灰岩体是同沉积正断层形成的断层崖崩落角砾岩，指示一个消失殆尽的晚泥盆世碳酸盐岩同沉积正断层陡崖，因而，桂林台地，至少西段台地边缘，是与右江各孤立台地边缘一样——在地质图上应标示为同沉积正断层边界。其构造意义是：庙头地区的灰岩脉、角砾灰岩体及同沉积断层是桂林台地对晚泥盆世构造伸展作用的响应，从而说明广西晚古生代的板块拉张，不是从二叠纪才开始的，而是至少从晚泥盆世就开始了；晚古生代至早三叠世持续的孤立台地与深水盆地相间的古地理格局，是在晚泥盆世就奠定了基础。  相似文献
