A method is presented for correlating benthonic foraminiferal communities in Late Quaternary marine sediments on continental shelves and in coastal areas with the planktonic foraminiferal stratigraphy of the North Atlantic and Norwegian Sea deep-sea sediments.  相似文献   

Landslide inventory in a rugged forested watershed: a comparison between air-photo and field survey data   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Landslide inventories are routinely compiled by means of aerial photo interpretation (API). When examining photo pairs, the forest canopy (notably in old-growth forest) hides a population of “not visible” landslides. In the present study, we attempt to estimate how important is the contribution of landslides not detectable from aerial photographs to the global mass of sediment production from mass failures on forested terrain of the Capilano basin, coastal British Columbia. API was coupled with intensive fieldwork for identification and measurement of all landslides. A 30-year framework was adopted. We show that “not visible” landslides can represent up to 85% of the total number of failures and account for 30% of the volume of debris mobilised. Such percentages display high sub-basin variability with rates of sediment production varying by one order of magnitude between two sub-basins of the study area. This is explained qualitatively by GIS-based analysis of slope frequency distributions, drainage density, and spatial distribution of surficial materials. Such observations find further support in the definitions of transport-limited and supply-limited basins. As a practical consideration to land managers, we envisage that supplementary fieldwork for landslide identification is mandatory in transport-limited systems only. Fieldwork has demonstrated that gully-related failures have a greater importance than one could expect from API.  相似文献   

Advances in Holocene mountain geomorphology inspired by sediment budget methodology     

Olav Slaymaker  Catherine Souch  Brian Menounos  Gabriel Filippelli 《Geomorphology》2003,55(1-4):305

The sediment budget, which links sediment sources to sediment sinks with hydroclimatic and weathering processes mediating the response, is applied to the analysis of sediments in three alpine lakes in British Columbia. We provide two ways of using the sediment budget as an integrating device in the interpretation of mountain geomorphology. These approaches differ in their resolution and ability to budget the major components of the fine-sediment cascade in glaciated environments. Taken together, they provide an integrated index of landscape change over the Holocene. The first example compares the hydroclimatic controls of lake sedimentation for the last 600 years (A.D. 1370–1998) preserved in varved sediments from two of the lake basins. This hydroclimatological approach incorporates contemporary monitoring, air photo analysis, and detailed stratigraphy of sedimentation events within a single varve to infer the timing, sources, and preferred pathways of fine-grained sediments reaching the lake basins. The results indicate that glaciers, hillslope, and channel instability within the major subbasins are the principal sediment sources to the lake basins. Transitory sediment storage of glacially derived sediments within the channels is believed to modulate the episodic and more frequent delivery of sediments from adjacent hillslope and fluvial storage sites and direct routing of glacial rock flour during years of prolonged glacial melt. The second example, relying on the phosphorus geochemistry of sediments in an alpine lake basin, considers the evolution of phosphorus forms (from mineral to occluded and organic fractions) as a function of the soil development, inherent slope instability, and repeated cycles of glaciation and neoglaciation over the Holocene. This geochemical approach demonstrates that both neoglaciation and full glaciation have essentially zeroed the system in such a way that a high proportion of mineral phosphorus remains in the present lake sediments and the bioavailability of phosphorus (a key to ecosystem development) is low. Both examples illustrate the importance of variable sediment sources; the seasonality, frequency, and magnitude of sediment transfers; and the profound influence of ice cover over contemporary, neoglacial and Pleistocene time scales. They also signal the value of including both clastic and dissolved components in the sediment budget.  相似文献

Geological events during the early formation of a passive margin     

Olav Eldholm  Eirik Sundvor   《Tectonophysics》1979,59(1-4)

The concept of plate tectonics implies that the normal sea floor spreading stage is preceded by a sequence of events associated with the break-up of continental crust. Thus, evidence of the early development of “non-failed” rifts is to be found at passive continental margins. Of special interest is the question of the extent of the continental crust and the structural and compositional changes associated with the change in crustal type. In addressing these topics, we have focused attention on the Norwegian margin between the Jan Mayen and Senja fracture zones (66°–70°N) in an attempt to understand its history of rifting and early sea floor spreading. p ]The southern part of this rifted margin is characterized by a wide shelf and the marginal Vøring Plateau interrupts a gentle slope at a level of about 1500 m. However, the margin becomes progressively narrower towards the north and a typical narrow shelf and steep slope emerge off the Lofo—tenVesterålen Islands (Fig. 1). In a reconstructed pre-opening configuration (Talwani and Eldholm, 1977) the narrowest part of the juxtaposed EastGreenland margin is found in the south and a wide shelf and slope corresponds to the Lofoten-Vesterålen margin.The most prominent structural element is a buried basement high underneath the Vøring Plateau. The high is bounded landward by the Vøring Plateau Escarpment, a major structural boundary which defines typical changes in the geophysical parameters. These are: (1) a sudden increase of depth to acoustic basement; (2) changes in the velocity-depth function; (3) a gravity gradient; and (4) a magnetic edge anomaly separating sea-floor spreading type anomalies from a quiet zone on the landward side (Talwani and Eldholm, 1972). These observations were interpreted in terms of a sharp ocea—ncontinent crustal transition along the escarpment with sea-floor spreading commencing between anomaly 24 and 25 time (56–58 m.y. B.P.). Alternatively, the concept of ancient oceanic crust landward of this escarpment and the possible existence of continental crust under the outer basement high have been argued and we refer to Eldholm et al. (1979) for a detailed discussion.  相似文献   

Die kurzwellige Strahlung von Sonne und Himmel auf einen nach Süden orientierten Würfel     

Karin Schram  J. C. Thams 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1967,66(1):183-200

Zusammenfassung In Locarno-Monti am Alpensüdfuss wurde von Juni 1961 bis Dezember 1964 die kurzwellige Strahlung von Sonne und Himmel (Globalstrahlung) auf die Flächen eines nach Süden orientierten Würfels registriert. An Hand dieses Materials konnten mittlere Tages- und Jahresgänge der Globalstrahlung für extreme und mittlere Strahlungsbedingungen gewonnen werden. Der Anteil der Strahlungsenergie, die auf eine senkrechte Fläche fällt, an der gesamten Strahlung auf den Würfel, wird von der Orientierung der Wand und der relativen Sonnenscheindauer beeinflusst. Es wurde die Abhängigkeit des Strahlungsgenusses der verschieden orientierten Wände von der relativen Sonnenscheindauer untersucht. Mit Hilfe dieser Zusammenhänge wurden klimatologische Mittelwerte der Globalstrahlung aus langjährigen Mittelwerten der relativen Sonnenscheindauer in Locarno-Monti abgeleitet. Um auch für Stationen, an denen die Globalstrahlung nur auf die horizontale Fläche gemessen wird, jene auf senkrechte Flächen berechnen zu können, werden die Verhältnisse der Strahlung von Sonne und Himmel auf eine Wand zu der auf die horizontale Fläche angegeben.

Summary Measurements of the short wave radiation of sund and sky (global radiation) on surfaces of a cube orientated to the south have been carried out at Locarno-Monti (Switzerland) from June 1961 to December 1964. These data were used for deducing the annual and daily variations of the global radiation under extreme and average conditions. The percentage of the radiation energy on a vertical surface on the entire radiation on the cube depends on the orientation of the surface and on the relative duration of sunshine. Further researches involve the dependence of the radiation on vertical walls of different orientation on the duration of sunshine. With the aid of these relations and the climatological means of the relative duration of sunshine at Locarno-Monti average values of the global radiation could be determined. In order to calculate the radiation on vertical surfaces for those stations, for which only measurements of the global radiation on a horizontal surface are available, the relations between the radiation on a wall to that on a horizontal surface must be known.

Résumé De juin 1961 à décembre 1964, le rayonnement de courtes longueurs d'onde du soleil et du ciel (rayonnement global) a été enregistré à Locarno-Monti, au pied sud des Alpes, au moyen de surfaces réceptrices disposées suivant les faces d'un cube orienté vers le sud. Le matériel de mesure recueilli permet d'établir les variations journalières et saisonnières moyennes du rayonnement global lors de conditions extrêmes et moyennes de rayonnement. Rapportée à l'énergie rayonnante totale interceptée par le cube, la fraction de rayonnement reçue par une certaine face verticale dépend de l'orientation de cette face et de la durée relative d'insolation. On étudie l'influence de cette dernière sur l'éclairement dont jouissent les différentes faces du cube. A l'aide des relations trouvées, on calcule des moyennes climatologiques du rayonnement global à partir de moyennes tirées des longues séries d'enregistrements de la durée relative d'insolation à Locarno-Monti. En donnant encore le rapport des rayonnements du soleil et du ciel reçus respectivement par une surface verticale et par l'horizontale, on rend possible l'évaluation du rayonnement global tombant sur une paroi verticale aux stations où seuls des récepteurs horizontaux sont mis en uvre.

Riassunto A Locarno-Monti, al piede meridionale delle Alpi, fu registrata dal giugno 1961 al dicembre 1964 la radiazione a onde corte del sole e cielo (radiazione globale) sulle superficie di un cubo orientato verso sud. Partendo da questo materiale poterono essere ricavati gli andamenti medi giornalieri e annuali della radiazione globale per condizioni di radiazione estreme e media. La parte di energia della radiazione, che cade su una superficie verticale, rispetto all'energia totale sul cubo è influenzata dall'orientamento della superficie e dalla durata relative dell'insolazione. È stata studiata la dipendenza tra la radiazione ricevuta dalle superficie diversamente orientate e la durata relativa dell'insolazione. Con l'ausilio di queste relazioni furono calcolati valori medi climatologici della radiazione globale dai valori medi pluriannuali della durata dell'insolazione a Locarno-Monti. Per poter calcolare anche per le stazioni, per le quali la radiazione globale fu misurata solo su una superficie orizzontale, quella su superficie verticali, vengono comunicati i rapporti tra la radiazione sole e cielo su una superficie verticale e la radiazione sulla superficie orizzontale.

A generalized theory for line formation in a homogeneous magnetic field     

Olav Kjeldseth Moe 《Solar physics》1968,4(3):267-285

The formation of spectral lines in a homogeneous magnetic field has been studied. A new method for solving the transfer equations for polarized light has been found. Using this method, the Stokes parameters may be derived without any special assumptions regarding the model atmosphere. With the line formed by pure absorption, the expressions for the Stokes parameters may easily be adapted to numerical calculations. In order to illustrate the method, the line profile for the Zeeman triplet 5250 has been calculated using a photospheric model atmosphere.  相似文献

Data laundering leading to meaningful principal component classification criterion and map attribute in surface geochemistry     

Olav H. J. Christie 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1995,57(3):242-254

Principal components classification based on geochemical data from sea bed samples offers a discriminant methodology for assignment of sea bed core location to defined types of hydrocarbon seep characteristics. Significant contributions to the geochemical fingerprint of the samples, like influence of sediment nature and biogenic input, are considered bias effects by oil explorationists and may be removed by aid of the method of principal components target rotation. This removal is called data laundering, and map attributes representing known hydrocarbon accumulations can be constructed from laundered data sets. Signatures of the Draugen (Haltenbanken, Norway) sea bed type occur over the Heidrun and Smørbukk fields and points out regions of interest to exploration in unexplored areas.  相似文献   

The influence of colloidal material on aluminium speciation and estimated acid neutralising capacity (ANC)     

Hans-Christian Teien  Brit Salbu  Frode Kroglund  Lene Sørlie Heier  Bjørn Olav Rosseland 《Applied Geochemistry》2007

Cationic Al species (Al_i) cause toxic effects towards fish in acidified water. As several factors can influence the Al_i-speciation, acid neutralising capacity (ANC) has been applied as an alternative indicator for acidification and effects towards fish. However, the critical range of ANC for biological stress has been shown to be dependent upon the concentration of organic material (DOC). Using in situ size fractionation techniques the influence of particulate and colloidal DOC (0–400 μM) on Al_i-speciation and ANC-values was investigated in Norwegian streams. During high flow events with high river transport of DOC the Al_i concentration increased by a factor of 2 due to retention of colloidal Al species (>10 kDa), probably organic, in the chromatography column. Ultrafiltration (?10 kDa) of water prior to chromatography reduced the influence of non-toxic organic Al-species, on Al_i-speciation. The charge balanced ANC-values (ANC_cb) were also significantly lower (on average 34 μeq L⁻¹) in ultrafiltered water compared to unfiltered water samples, as base cations were associated with colloidal DOC (>10 kDa to 0.45 μm) and organic acids were not incorporated in the ANC_cb estimate. Thus, ANC_cb will underestimate the acidification effects towards fish in organic waters increasing with concentration of colloidal DOC present. Alkalinity based ANC-values (ANC_alk), which include a fraction of organic acids, were similar in unfiltered and ultrafiltered waters, but higher than ANC_cb-values of ultrafiltered samples. Thus, ANC_alk-values also underestimate the acidification effects on fish in organic waters. Based on ultrafiltered samples, however, ANC_cb-values was negatively correlated with Al_i independent of the DOC present and thus a more correct indicator for toxic Al-species.  相似文献
