Mt. Melbourne volcano,antarctica: Evidence of seismicity related to volcanic activity     

Salvatore Gambino  Eugenio Privitera 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1996,146(2):305-318

Characterization of the microseismic activity (M _L <2.0) has been performed at Mt. Melbourne since 1990. We recorded a group of low frequency events with common morphological characteristics, i.e., an emerging onset, an unclear second phase and a sharply dropping coda. Spectral analysis of events recorded at more than one station indicates that the seismogram characteristics and spectral content are largely due to source effects. A polarization filter applied to a set of three component data revealed a first phase made up ofP waves followed (after about 0.9–1.4 sec.) by a second phase probably composed ofSH-type waves. Particle motion analysis detected a seismic ray angle direction mainly between N70°E and N110°E and apparent angle of incidence between 35° and 48° for the first phase. The studied seismicity was localized in an area on the eastern slope of Mt. Melbourne Volcano which presents a surface temperature anomaly (Mazzarini andSalvini, 1994). We formulate two hypotheses for the type of earthquakes recorded: 1) long-period events involving active presence of magmatic fluids in the source processes; 2) or the result of fracturing processes (shear?) in a medium characterized by transition between brittle and plastic behaviors. In the latter hypothesis the superficial thermal anomaly may be a symptom of this behavior at depth and is confirmed by the lown values observed for the exponential fit in the codaQ analysis.  相似文献

The Taconite Inlet Lakes Project: a systems approach to paleoclimatic reconstruction     

R. S. Bradley  M. J. Retelle  S. D. Ludlam  D. R. Hardy  B. Zolitschka  S. F. Lamoureux  M. S. V. Douglas 《Journal of Paleolimnology》1996,16(2):97-110

A comprehensive study of meteorological, hydrological, limnological and sedimentological conditions in the watersheds of density-stratified (meromictic) lakes around Taconite Inlet, Northern Ellesmere Island, N.W.T., Canada was carried out from 1990–1992. Lakes C1 and C2 contain seawater trapped by isostatic uplift as the former embayments became isolated from the sea. These lakes, and Lake C3, contain varved sediments which provide an annually resolvable paleoclimatic record. By studing the major systems influencing sedimentation in one of these lakes (Lake C2) a better understanding of the climatic controls on varve formation, and hence on the paleoclimatic signal in the varved sediment record, was obtained. The varves of Lake C2 provide a proxy record of summer temperature for the region.This is the first in a series of papers published in this issue on the Taconite Inlet Lakes Project. These papers were collected by Dr R. S. Bradley.  相似文献   

The origin of accretionary lapilli   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

J. S. Gilbert  S. J. Lane 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1994,56(5):398-411

Experimental investigations in a recirculating wind tunnel of the mechanisms of formation of accretionary lapilli have demonstrated that growth is controlled by collision of liquid-coated particles, due to differences in fall velocities, and binding as a result of surface tension forces and secondary mineral growth. The liquids present on particle surfaces in eruption plumes are acid solutions stable at 100% relative humidity, from which secondary minerals, e.g. calcium sulphate and sodium chloride, precipitate prior to impact of accretionary lapilli with the ground. Concentric grain-size zones within accretionary lapilli build up due to differences in the supply of particular particle sizes during aggregate growth. Accretionary lapilli do not evolve by scavenging of particles by liquid drops followed by evaporation — a process which, in wind tunnel experiments, generates horizontally layered hemispherical aggregates. Size analysis of particles in the wind tunnel air stream and particles adhering to growing aggregates demonstrate that the aggregation coefficient is highly grain-size dependent. Theoretical simulation of accretionary lapilli growth in eruption plumes predicts maximum sizes in the range 0.7–20 mm for ash cloud thicknesses of 0.5–10 km respectively.  相似文献   

Palaeolimnological studies of the eutrophication of volcanic Lake Albano (Central Italy)     

Andrea Lami  Frank Niessen  Piero Guilizzoni  Julieta Masaferro  Claudio A. Belis 《Journal of Paleolimnology》1994,10(3):181-197

We use palaeolimnological techniques to reconstruct the eutrophication history of a volcanic lake (Lake Albano, central Italy) over the past three centuries. The presence of annual varves down to the bottom of the core (c. 1700 A.D.) indicated the lack of bioturbation and likely long-term meromixis. Sedimentation rates were estimated by varve counts (calcite/diatom couplets), indicating a mean rate of 0.15 cm yr^–1. The reconstruction of eutrophication was traced using past populations of algal and photosynthetic bacteria (through their fossil pigment), and geochemistry, as well as fossil remains of chironomids. Phaeophorbidea and the red carotenoid astaxanthin were used to detect past zooplankton development.The first sign of trophic change related to human activities is datedc. 1870 A.D. From that period onward a sharp increase of authigenic CaCO₃, nitrogen, N:P ratio, and dinoxanthin, a characteristic carotenoid of Chrysophyceae and Dinophyceae, is observed.Chironomid analyses showed the near absence of a deep water fauna throughout the core length. The populations of chironomid larvae are restricted to oxygenated littoral zones. In fact, the few fossil remains found are primarily of littoral origin, representing shallow water midges that were transported to profundal waters. The reduction of total chironomid in the uppermost layers of the core is to be related to human land uses.  相似文献

Provenance of Conglomerate and Sandstone from Early Permian Shoushangou Formation in Xi Ujimqin, Inner Mongolia: Implications for Understanding Paleo-Asian Ocean Subduction     

ZHANG Yingli  GUO Xianqing  MA Shouxian 《《地质学报》英文版》2024,98(1):10-31

During the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian, a rift was formed by post-collisional extension after ocean closure or an island arc-related basin formed by Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO) subduction in the Xi Ujimqin area. Nevertheless, the closure time of the PAO is still under debate. Thus, to identify the origin of the PAO, the geochemistry and U-Pb age of zircons were analyzed for the extra-large deep marine, polymict clastic boulders and sandstones in the Shoushangou Formation within the basin. The analyses revealed magmatic activity and tectonic evolution. The conglomerates include megaclasts of granite (298.8 ± 9.1?Ma) and granodiorite porphyry (297.1 ± 3.1?Ma), which were deposited by muddy debris flow. Results of this study demonstrated that the boulders of granitoids have the geochemistry of typical I-type granite, characterized by low Zr + Nb + Ce + Y and low Ga/Al values. The granitoid boulders were formed in island arc setting, indicating the presence of arc magmatism in the area that is composed of the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian subduction-related granitoid in southern Xi Ujimqin. Multiple diagrams for determining sedimentary provenance using major and trace elements indicate that Shoushangou sediments originated from continental island arc-related felsic rocks. Detrital zircon U-Pb age cluster of 330–280?Ma was obtained, indicating input from granite, ophiolite, Xilin Gol complex, and Carboniferous sources to the south. The basin was geographically developed behind the arc during the Early Permian period because the outcropped intrusive rocks in the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian form a volcanic arc. The comprehensive analyses of source areas suggest that Shoushangou sediments developed in a backarc basin in response to the northward subduction of the PAO. The backarc basin and intrusive rocks, in addition to previously published Late Carboniferous to Early Permian magmatic rocks of arc unit in Xilin Gol, confirm the presence of an Early Permian trench-arc-basin system in the region, represented by the Baolidao arc and Xi Ujimqin backarc basin. This study highlights the importance and potential of combined geochemical and geochronological studies of conglomerates and sandstone for reconstructing the geodynamic setting of a basin.  相似文献

黄志刚  任战利  陈玉林  郑庆荣 《地质学报》2022,96(11):3967-3976

为研究天环坳陷北段下古生界天然气成藏规律，利用探井资料和有机地球化学方法，评价了天环坳陷北段奥陶系烃源岩特征并恢复其成熟演化史。天环坳陷北段奥陶系乌拉力克组和克里摩里组烃源岩有机碳含量和生烃潜量相对较高，烃源岩有机质丰度以中等—好为主，少部分为差烃源岩；三道坎组和桌子山组烃源岩以差为主。干酪根组分鉴定表明，天环坳陷北段奥陶系烃源岩主要为Ⅱ1~Ⅰ型干酪根，热演化程度高，处于生干气阶段。成熟演化史模拟显示，古生代—中生代早期地温梯度低，地层埋藏浅，烃源岩成熟演化程度低。燕山期，由于构造热事件，地温梯度迅速升高，早白垩世烃源岩经历的最高温度超过200℃，达到生气高峰期，早白垩世是油气成藏的主要时期。早白垩世之后，鄂尔多斯盆地整体抬升，地温梯度减小，生烃作用停止。  相似文献   

河北宣化土城子组恐龙足迹化石新发现

本文报道了新近发现于河北宣化地区土城子组的恐龙足迹化石及沉积环境。为确定足迹化石的地质年代、土城子组的沉积环境及足迹化石属种，本文在对恐龙足迹化石层及其上、下地层进行剖面测制、沉积相划分和沉积环境分析的基础上，对化石层上覆凝灰岩层进行了LA- ICPMS锆石U- Pb测年，并对保存较好的足迹化石进行了测量和对比研究工作。研究结果表明，土城子组底部为冲积扇扇中沉积环境，足迹化石上、下地层则表现为河流相沉积环境，而足迹化石的赋存层位形成于滨湖相沉积环境，发育暴露构造并含有大量裸子植物碎屑化石。凝灰岩锆石U- Pb加权平均年龄为152. 3±0. 3 Ma（MSWD=0. 00106），说明化石层位于土城子组一段，时代属于晚侏罗世钦莫利期（Kimmeridgian）中晚期。已发现的足迹化石以兽脚类三趾型足迹为主，包括跷脚龙足迹属（Grallator）、安琪龙足迹属（Anchisauripus）和实雷龙足迹属（Eubrontes），其次为一些疑似蜥脚类恐龙足迹，是华北北缘土城子组中群落丰富度最高的恐龙足迹点，其中一处或许为中国北方面积最大的恐龙足迹点。因此，我们认为宣化- 下花园盆地土城子组一段以河流、湖泊相沉积环境为主，当时裸子植物繁茂，恐龙动物群庞大，偶尔存在火山喷发活动。新发现的宣化恐龙足迹不仅填补了宣化- 下花园地区恐龙足迹化石的空白，也丰富了燕辽地区土城子组生物群的组合面貌，为土城子组内年代地层划分及陆相J/K界线的确定提供了新的证据。  相似文献
