Small-scale variability of seafloor features in the northern Peru Basin: Results from acoustic survey methods     

Michael H. Wiedicke  Michael E. Weber 《Marine Geophysical Researches》1996,18(5):507-526

During RV SONNE cruise SO-79 to the eastern Pacific Ocean, two areas of about 65×80 km in the northern Peru Basin were surveyed with the acoustic mapping systems HYDROSWEEP (bathymetry), PARASOUND (3.5 kHz high-resolution seismic system), and a deep-towed side-scan sonar system. In addition, we sampled sediments using piston and box corers. The data show an unexpected variability of seafloor features: The bathymetry is characterized by an abyssal hill topography with predominately N-S ridges up to 300 m high, and scattered volcanic hills. Moreover, one 2000-m-high seamount was mapped. PARASOUND shows several distinct reflectors within the sediment cover, all of which are attributed to carbonate-rich strata. In the northern area, the uppermost prominent reflector is related to the Mid-Brunhes Event (0.45 Ma) in the sediment cores, while the lowermost represents acoustic basement. In the southern area, the seismic pattern reveals an upper opaque zone and a lower transparent zone. The base of the opaque zone is marked by a distinct reflector which corresponds to a huge carbonate peak (6–7 Ma) in the sediment cores. However, despite this general pattern, the PARASOUND records show a highly variable situation, with the distribution of sediment echo types strongly influenced by the seafloor topography. The side-scan sonar revealed the existence of numerous small volcanic cones up to 25 m high and nearly free of sediment. Additionally, the sonar records show a patchy (up to 800 m across) seafloor reflectiviti. We interpret this patchiness as a local lack of manganese nodule coverage. Volcanic cones and the most distinct nodule-free patches are usually on ridges. We interpret this variability as caused by winnowing and erosion, an interpretation that is supported by the occurrence of outcrops of Tertiary strata. This regional small-scale variability argues for a highly dynamic depositional history of the Peru Basin.  相似文献   

Participatory Water Basin Councils in Peru and Brazil: Expert discourses as means and barriers to inclusion     

《Global Environmental Change》2019

In the last twenty years, participatory forums have been increasingly used to manage water basins around the world. The implementation of participatory forums has sought to prevent and overcome conflicts by bringing together a multiplicity of stakeholders in joint efforts to deliberate, achieve mutually agreed upon decisions, and distribute limited water resources. Different literature streams have evaluated the benefits and challenges of participatory forums in practice, such as the difficulties some forums have had when confronting existing power structures. Separately, research on water governance has paid particular attention to the ways in which expert discourses are used by traditionally powerful actors to exclude less powerful others. This paper draws from the literatures on participation and discourses in environmental governance to empirically investigate how expert discourses may empower or disempower certain actors in four basin councils – two in Peru and two in Brazil. Through qualitative thematic analysis of 116 interviews and observation notes, we specifically investigate the extent to which expert discourses in these basin councils help empower previously excluded actors. Our findings indicate stakeholder interests that are not, or cannot, be expressed within the frame of expert discourses are often marginalized. This suggests participation has made it possible for some previously excluded actors to have a voice, yet their potential influence is seemingly confined to a restricted space beyond which their voices will have little effect.  相似文献

王青  赵旭  刘亚茜 《现代地质》2013,27(6):1414

Maranon、Ucayali和Madre de Dios盆地是3个弧后前陆盆地,对比研究发现：(1)古近纪和新近纪的构造运动对Ucayali盆地的影响比Maranon盆地要大。Maranon盆地西边界的古生代地层被大断层裂开,除了在老构造上有低幅度褶皱外并未明显被反转或压缩;而在Ucayali盆地内,则发育基底相关的逆冲褶皱和反转构造。(2)三叠纪期间,Maranon和Ucayali盆地的大部分地区,大的断裂和构造抬升交替保存和剥蚀着原古生代的地层,而在Madre de Dios盆地,很少有断层产生或抬升剥蚀,导致Madre de Dios盆地古生代地层比Maranon和Ucayali盆地保存较好。(3)自北向南3个盆地的主力烃源岩和主力储层的地层年代越来越老。盆地的前渊带,储层埋藏深度大和成岩作用强的特点导致储层的物性明显变差。(4)晚白垩世以来的挤压和冲断运动在3个盆地的中西部形成了大量中-高幅度的背斜、断背斜等构造圈闭。盆地东部的地层向克拉通地台方向逐层超覆,发育地层圈闭。Maranon和Ucayali盆地北部, 新近纪的构造挤压运动影响到基底,使断层贯穿至盆地基底,发育与基底相关的断层,而在Ucayali盆地的最南部发育薄皮式断层。最后,指出了3个盆地下一步勘探的领域和方向。  相似文献   

A locally calibrated,late glacial 10Be production rate from a low-latitude,high-altitude site in the Peruvian Andes     

《Quaternary Geochronology》2015

Well-dated records of tropical glacier fluctuations are essential for developing hypotheses and testing proposed mechanisms for past climate changes. Since organic material for radiocarbon dating is typically scarce in low-latitude, high-altitude environments, surface exposure-age dating, based on the measurement of in situ produced cosmogenic nuclides, provides much of the chronologic information on tropical glacier moraines. Here, we present a locally calibrated ¹⁰Be production rate for a low-latitude, high-altitude site near Quelccaya Ice Cap (∼13.95°S, 70.89°W, 4857 m asl) in the southeastern Peruvian Andes. Using an independent age (12.35 +0.2, −0.02 ka) of the late glacial Huancané IIa moraines based on thirty-four bracketing radiocarbon ages and twelve ¹⁰Be concentrations of boulders on the moraines, we determine a local production rate of 43.28 ± 2.69 atoms gram⁻¹ year⁻¹ (at g⁻¹ yr⁻¹). Reference ¹⁰Be production rates (i.e., production rates by neutron spallation appropriate for sea-level, high-latitude sites) range from 3.97 ± 0.09 to 3.78 ± 0.09 at g⁻¹ yr⁻¹, determined using scaling after Lal (1991) and Stone (2000) and depending on our assumed boulder surface erosion rate. Since our boulder surface erosion rate estimate is a minimum value, these reference production rates are also minimum values. A secondary control site on the Huancané IIIb moraines suggests that the ¹⁰Be production rates are at least as low as, or possibly lower than, those derived from the Huancané IIa moraines. These sea-level, high-latitude production rates are at least 11–15% lower than values derived using the traditional global calibration dataset, and they are also lower than those derived from the late glacial Breque moraine in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru. However, our sea-level, high-latitude production rates agree well with recently published, locally calibrated production rates from the Arctic, New Zealand, and Patagonia. The production rates presented here should be used to calculate ¹⁰Be exposure ages in low-latitude, high-altitude locations, particularly in the tropical Andes, and should improve the ability to compare the results of studies using ¹⁰Be exposure-age dating with other chronological data.  相似文献   

Magnetite/Ilmenite–series Classification and Magnetic Susceptibility of the Mesozoic-Cenozoic Batholiths in Peru     

Shunso ISHIHARA  Morio HASHIMOTO  Minoru MACHIDA 《Resource Geology》2000,50(2):123-129

Abstract: Plutonic rocks of the Coastal Batholith of Peru were evaluated in terms of the granitoid-series classification using the bulk ferric/ferrous ratio from the literature and new measurements of magnetic susceptibility. The batholith is largely composed of magnetite-series plutonic rocks; the magnetite series make up 85% by number of chemical analyses (n=130) and 80% by measurement of magnetic susceptibility (n=210). The ilmenite-series rocks are mostly found in the felsic facies of the batholith. Asymmetrical distribution of magnetic susceptibility is not clear as in the Japanese Islands and Peninsular Range Batholith, but the magnetic susceptibility may decreases continentward (i. e., Peninsular Range type).
The Cordillera Blanca Batholith and stocks are also composed of mainly magnetite series plutonic rocks, but ilmenite-series rocks may be more predominant than in the Coastal Batholith, which is also indicated by the presence of Sn and W mineralizations.  相似文献   

Assessing multidecadal runoff (1970–2010) using regional hydrological modelling under data and water scarcity conditions in Peruvian Pacific catchments     

Pedro Rau  Luc Bourrel  David Labat  Denis Ruelland  Frdric Frappart  Waldo Lavado  Boris Dewitte  Oscar Felipe 《水文研究》2019,33(1):20-35

In a context of water scarcity in Peruvian Pacific catchments as a crucial issue for Peru, added to the paucity of data availability, we propose a methodology that provides new perspectives for freshwater availability estimation as a base reference for unimpaired conditions. Under those considerations, a regional discharge of 709 m³/s to the Pacific Ocean is estimated with a significant increasing trend of about 43 m³/s per decade over the 1970 – 2010 period. To represent the multidecadal behaviour of freshwater runoff along the region, a regional runoff analysis is proposed based on hydrological modelling at annual and monthly time step for unimpaired conditions over the whole 1970 – 2010 period. Differential Split‐Sample Tests are used to assess the hydrological modelling robustness of the GR1A and GR2M conceptual lumped models, showing a satisfactory transposability from dry to wet years inside the thresholds defined for Nash–Sutcliffe and bias criteria. This allowed relating physical catchment characteristics with calibrated and validated model parameters, thus offering a regional perspective for dryland conditions in the study area (e.g., the anticlockwise hysteresis relationship found for seasonal precipitation–runoff relationship) as well as the impacts of climate variability and catchment characteristics.  相似文献   

秘鲁外海茎柔鱼栖息地适宜性年代际变动   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

温健  陆鑫一  余为  陈新军  刘必林 《海洋学报》2020,42(6):36-43

茎柔鱼广泛分布于东南太平洋海域，是我国重要的远洋捕捞对象之一，其种群易受气候和栖息地环境的影响。利用海表面温度(SST)和海表面高度距平(SSHA)两个关键环境因子，计算1950?2015年1?12月秘鲁外海茎柔鱼栖息地适宜性指数(HSI)，对比分析太平洋年代际涛动(PDO)位于冷暖位相下茎柔鱼渔场环境以及栖息地质量的变动。结果显示，1950?2015年PDO呈现冷、暖、冷3个位相变化，其中PDO冷位相内的SST距平(SSTA)和SSHA明显低于PDO暖位相。交相关分析结果表明，PDO指数与SSTA和SSHA均呈显著正相关，而HSI与PDO指数、SSTA和SSHA均呈显著负相关。PDO位于冷位相时，茎柔鱼渔场内水温变冷，海面高度下降，适宜的SST和SSHA范围增加，因此茎柔鱼有利的栖息地面积增大；而PDO位于暖位相时，水温增暖，海面高度上升，适宜的SST和SSHA范围缩减，导致茎柔鱼适宜的栖息地面积缩小。研究认为，太平洋年代际涛动调控了茎柔鱼渔场内的环境变化，进而对茎柔鱼栖息地质量及适宜栖息地范围产生显著影响。  相似文献   

Hydrochemical evaluation of changing glacier meltwater contribution to stream discharge: Callejon de Huaylas,Peru / Evaluation hydrochimique de la contribution évolutive de la fonte glaciaire à l'écoulement fluvial: Callejon de Huaylas,Pérou     

《水文科学杂志》2013,58(6)

Abstract

Discharge measurements, precipitation observations and hydrochemical samples from catchments of the Callejon de Huaylas watershed draining the Cordillera Blanca to the Rio Santa, Peru, facilitate estimating the glacier meltwater contribution to streamflow over different spatial scales using water balance and end-member mixing computations. A monthly water balance of the Yanamarey Glacier catchment shows elevated annual discharge over December 2001–July 2004 compared to 1998–1999, with net glacier mass loss in all months. Glacial melt now accounts for an estimated 58% of annual mean discharge, 23% greater than 1998–1999. At Lake Querococha, below Yanamarey (3.4% glacierized), a hydrochemical end-member mixing model estimates that 50% of the streamflow is derived from the glacier catchment. Average concentrations from the Rio Santa leaving the Callejon de Huaylas (8% glacierized) are modelled as a mixture with 66% deriving from glacierized tributaries of the Cordillera Blanca as opposed to the non-glacierized Cordillera Negra end member.  相似文献   

异常气候条件下秘鲁外海茎柔鱼栖息地的时空变动     

温健  贡静雯  李婷  赵嵩玲  田园园  陈新军  余为 《海洋学报》2020,42(10):92-99

茎柔鱼主要分布于东太平洋，是我国鱿钓渔船的主要捕捞对象，气候变化对其栖息地有较大影响。本研究依据1950?2015年海表温度(SST)、海表高度距平(SSHA)以及尼诺指数(Ni?o3.4指数)，计算秘鲁外海茎柔鱼栖息地适宜性指数(HSI)，分析在厄尔尼诺(El Ni?o)、正常气候和拉尼娜(La Ni?a)条件下适宜栖息地的时空变动。分析表明，海表温度距平(SSTA)和SSHA与Ni?o3.4指数的变化趋势基本相同，Ni?o3.4指数与SSTA和SSHA均呈显著正相关，但与HSI值呈显著负相关。依据气候事件的定义，将研究年份划分为El Ni?o年，正常年和La Ni?a年。研究发现，在El Ni?o年，茎柔鱼渔场水温变暖，海面高度上升，适宜的SST和SSHA范围缩小，导致适宜的栖息地面积范围缩减；而在正常气候和La Ni?a年份，茎柔鱼渔场水温变冷，海面高度下降，适宜的SST和SSHA范围增大，因此适宜的栖息地面积范围增加。此外，Ni?o3.4指数和茎柔鱼渔场HSI纬度重心呈显著正相关，在El Ni?o事件下适宜的栖息地纬度重心向南偏移。研究认为，不同ENSO事件下茎柔鱼渔场环境变化显著，进而影响茎柔鱼适宜的栖息地范围及其空间分布。  相似文献
