The gold mineralization of the Hutti Mine is hosted by nine parallel, N–S trending, steeply dipping, 2–10 m wide shear zones, that transect Archaean amphibolites. The shear zones were formed after peak metamorphism during retrograde ductile D₂ shearing in the lower amphibolite facies. They were reactivated in the lower to mid greenschist facies by brittle–ductile D₃ shearing and intense quartz veining. The development of a S₂–S₃ crenulation cleavage facilitates the discrimination between the two deformation events and contemporaneous alteration and gold mineralization. Ductile D₂ shearing is associated with a pervasively developed distal chlorite–sericite alteration assemblage in the outer parts of the shear zones and the proximal biotite–plagioclase alteration in the center of the shear zones. D₃ is characterized by development of the inner chlorite-K-feldspar alteration, which forms a centimeter-scale alteration halo surrounding the laminated quartz veins and replaces earlier biotite along S₃. The average size of the laminated vein systems is 30–50 m along strike as well as down-dip and 2–6 m in width.Mass balance calculations suggest strong metasomatic changes for the proximal biotite–plagioclase alteration yielding mass and volume increase of ca. 16% and 12%, respectively. The calculated mass and volume changes of the distal chlorite–sericite alteration (ca. 11%, ca. 8%) are lower. The decrease in δ¹⁸O values of the whole rock from around 7.5‰ for the host rocks to 6–7‰ for the distal chlorite–sericite and the proximal biotite–plagioclase alteration and around 5‰ for the inner chlorite-K-feldspar alteration suggests hydrothermal alteration during two-stage deformation and fluid flow.The ductile D₂ deformation in the lower amphibolite facies has provided grain scale porosities by microfracturing. The pervasive, steady-state fluid flow resulted in a disseminated style of gold–sulfide mineralization and a penetrative alteration of the host rocks. Alternating ductile and brittle D₃ deformation during lower to mid greenschist facies conditions followed the fault-valve process. Ductile creep in the shear zones resulted in a low permeability environment leading to fluid pressure build-up. Strongly episodic fluid advection and mass transfer was controlled by repeated seismic fracturing during the formation of laminated quartz(-gold) veins. The limitation of quartz veins to the extent of earlier shear zones indicate the importance of pre-existing anisotropies for fault-valve action and economic gold mineralization.  相似文献   

Modeling historical climate variability and slope stability     

Jochen Schmidt  Richard Dikau 《Geomorphology》2004,60(3-4):433-447

This study presents scenario models for historical variations of climate and slope stability. A model for historical annual patterns of temperature and rainfall was established on the basis of seasonal proxies. A process-based, spatio-temporal model for groundwater variations and slope stability was developed using the GIS environment of the software PCRaster. We applied the slope stability model to study the effects of the different climate scenarios on slope stability for three different hillslopes in the area around Bonn (Germany). The findings indicate three climatic phases with different annual temperature and precipitation patterns over the historic period. The modeling results show that a climatic scenario representing unstable conditions of a transition from the more humid Little Ice Age to dryer recent climate produces the highest slope instabilities. The intensity of this impact, however, varies with the sensitivity of the geomorphic system, i.e. local landforms and lithology, and cannot be generally related to the stability of a specific hillslope. More unstable areas are not necessarily more sensitive to climatic changes: the location of permeable layers (prone to groundwater rise) in relation to sensitive layers (lower strength) and higher gradients (higher stress) influences the sensitivity of a site with respect to climate changes. The presented method is capable of modeling landscape sensitivity to climate change with respect to groundwater-controlled landslides.  相似文献

Ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks from the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Project: II Oxygen isotope and fluid inclusion distributions through vertical sections   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7

In order to reconstruct the formation and exhumation mechanisms of UHP metamorphic terrains, the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Program (CCSD) has been carried out in Donghai of the Dabie-Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt, East China. Eclogite, gneiss, amphibolite (retrograded from eclogite), ultramafic rocks, and minor schist and quartzite have been drilled. Aiming to reveal the fluid behaviour in a vertical sequence of an UHP slab, we investigated fluid inclusion and oxygen isotope characteristics of selected drillcores from the main hole and the pilot-holes PP2 and ZK 703 of the CCSD. More than 540 laser-ablation oxygen isotope analyses on garnet, omphacite, quartz, kyanite, amphibole, phengite, rutile, epidote, amphibole, plagioclase, and biotite from various rocks in the depth range of 0–3,000 m (mainly eclogite and gneiss) show that the investigated rocks can be divided into two groups: ¹⁸O-depleted rocks (as low as δ¹⁸O = −7.4‰ for garnet) indicate interaction with cold climate meteoric waters, whereas ¹⁸O-normal rocks (with bulk δ¹⁸O > +5.6‰) have preserved the O-isotopic compositions of their protoliths. Meteoric water/rock interaction has reached depths of at least 2,700 m. Oxygen isotope equilibrium has generally been achieved. Isotopic compositions of mineral phases are homogeneous on a mm to cm scale regardless of lithology, but heterogeneous on the scale of a few metres. Oxygen isotope distributions in the vertical sections favour an “in situ” origin of the UHP metamorphic rocks. The very negative δ¹⁸O eclogites usually have higher hydroxyl-mineral contents than the normal δ¹⁸O rocks, indicating higher water content during UHP metamorphism. Fluid inclusion data suggest that rocks with depleted ¹⁸O compositions have had different fluid histories compared to those with normal δ¹⁸O values. Rocks with depleted ¹⁸O mainly have primary medium-to-high salinity inclusions in omphacite, kyanite and quartz, and abundant secondary low-salinity or pure water inclusions in quartz, indicating a high-salinity-brine-dominated fluid system during peak UHP metamorphism; no carbonic inclusions have been identified in these rocks. By contrast, primary very high-density CO₂ inclusions are commonly found in the rocks with normal δ¹⁸O values. These observations suggest that fluid and oxygen isotope composition of minerals are related and reflect variable degrees of alterations of the Dabie-Sulu UHP metamorphic rocks.  相似文献

POPCORN: A Field Study of Photochemistry in North-Eastern Germany     

Christian Plass-Dülmer  Theo Brauers  Jochen Rudolph 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1998,31(1-2):5-31

The intensive field study POPCORN (Photo-Oxidant Formation by Plant Emitted Compounds and OH Radicals in North-Eastern Germany) was carried out in a rural area of North-Eastern Germany during August 1994. An overview of the objectives, measurements and major results of this campaign is presented. Measurements of a set of relevant atmospheric trace compounds, including the hydroxyl radical, along with meteorological data were performed to increase the understanding of OH radical chemistry and photo-oxidant formation. Additionally, plant emissions and the exchange of trace gases between a maize field and the atmosphere were investigated. Budgets of selected trace gases were calculated to assess the relative importance of local sources, chemistry or transport. Intercomparisons between measurement techniques were a central issue of POPCORN and included measurements of OH, hydrocarbons, formaldehyde, photolysis frequencies and vertical fluxes. OH radical concentrations were measured simultaneously by LIF (Laser Induced Fluorescence) and DOAS (Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy). Both methods showed good agreement. Maximum OH concentrations were around 107 cm–3 and the diurnal cycles closely followed the rate of primary production via ozone photolysis. Generally, the trace gas composition during POPCORN was characterized by relatively low concentrations of most compounds, e.g. CO: 85–200 ppb, ethane: 0.6–2 ppb, and moderate NOx levels: 0.5–5 ppb (at noontime). Concentrations of individual biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOC) were mostly well below 100 ppt. However, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde which partly originate from biological sources were observed at mixing ratios of some ppb.  相似文献   

ISO observations of molecular hydrogen in the DR 21 bipolar outflow     

Michael D. Smith    Jochen Eislöffel  & Christopher J. Davis 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》1998,297(3):687-691

We demonstrate that a wide range of molecular hydrogen excitation can be observed in protostellar outflows at wavelengths in excess of 5 μm. Cold H₂ in DR 21 is detected through the pure rotational transitions in the ground vibrational level (0–0). Hot H₂ is detected in pure rotational transitions within higher vibrational levels (1–1, 1–2, etc.). Although this emission is relatively weak, we have detected two 1–1 lines in the DR 21 outflow with the ISO SWS instrument. We thus investigate molecular excitation over energy levels corresponding to the temperature range 1015–15 722 K, without the uncertainty introduced by differential extinction when employing near-infrared data.
This gas is thermally excited. We uncover a rather low H₂ excitation in the DR 21 West Peak. The line emission cannot be produced from single C-shocks or J-shocks; a range of shock strengths is required. This suggests that bow shocks and/or bow-generated supersonic turbulence is responsible. We are able to distinguish this shock-excited gas from the fluoresced gas detected in the K band, providing support for the dual-excitation model of Fernandes, Brand & Burton.  相似文献   

RXTE spectroscopy of GRS 1915+105     

Jochen Greiner  Ed H. Morgan  Ron A. Remillard 《New Astronomy Reviews》1998,42(9-10)

The galactic superluminal motion source GRS 1915+105 has been extensively observed with the RXTE satellite over the last two years. More than 250 RXTE pointings have been performed until mid-May 1998 with more than 1.5 Msec exposure time on roughly a weekly basis. Here we report on first results of our spectral analysis of a major part of these pointed RXTE observations. We establish the existence of at least 5 spectral components and present the changes of these components over the last two years.  相似文献   

Facies and paleogeographic importance of the pre-rift limestones from NE-Egypt/Sinai     

Jochen Kuss 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1989,78(2):487-498

The depositional environments of the Phanerozoic limestones of northeastern Egypt were reconstructed, based on microfacies and fossil content of the following limestonedominated sequences: Late Carboniferous, Late Anisian/ Ladinian (Carnian?), Bajocian/Kimmeridgian, Aptian/ Albian, Late Cenomaman/Early Turonian, Late Coniacian, Maastrichtian, Late Paleocene/Early Eocene. The African Craton in the south and the Tethyan sea in the north mainly controlled the sedimentation of most Phanerozoic strata; they increase in thickness towards the north, due to the gentle north/northwest dip of the Precambrian cratonal basement. Different subsiding areas enabled the filling of different depocenters since Jurassic times (with a maximum during the Cretaceous).The Early/Middle Cretaceous sediments were deposited along the broad North-African shelf system, with nearshore depositional environments, characterized by the interfingering of siliciclastics with marls and limestones; maximum thicknesses were encountered in several shallow depocenters. The Mid-Cretaceous platform was destroyed during Late Cretaceous times: Synsedimentary folding in the northern areas and vertical block fault movements further south (along rejuvenated pre-existing fault systems) are due to a N/NW-ward drift of the African Plate. Broad areas of North Africa were covered by chalks and marls in Senonian times, while phosphates and platform carbonates were locally deposited, due to synsedimentary structural unrest. The synsedimentary tectonic movements came to an end in Late Cretaceous times and were rejuvenated in Early Tertiary. The beginning Red Sea/Gulf of Suez rift influenced the sedimentation processes of the neighbouring Early Tertiary strata. Carbonates were mainly formed close to the uplifted areas, while the sedimentation of marls, clays and chalks prevailed in most other areas.

Zusammenfassung Im Oberkarbon, Oberanis/Ladin (Carn?), Bajoc/Kimmeridge, Apt/Alb, Obercenoman/Unterturon, Oberconiac, Maastricht und Oberpaleozän/Untereozän treten kalkbetonte Abfolgen in Nordostägypten auf, deren Charakteristika mit Hilfe der Mikrofazies und des Fossilinhaltes beschrieben werden. Die Sedimentationsmuster der meisten phanerozoischen Ablagerungen können in einer stark vereinfachten Annäherung auf das Zusammenwirken festländischer Ablagerungsprozesse (Afrikanischer Kraton) im Süden und mariner Sedimentation (Tethys) weiter im Norden zurückgeführt werden. Die Sedimentmächtigkeiten nehmen generell nach Norden zu, was auf ein sanftes Einfallen des präkambrischen kristallinen Grundgebirges nach N/NW zurückzuführen ist. Daneben ist eine unterschiedlich starke Absenkung und Sedimentauffüllung verschiedener Depocenter seit dem Jura festzustellen.Die unter-/mittelkretazischen Sedimente wurden im Bereich des breiten, nordafrikanischen Schelfsystems abgelagert, das in verschiedene, überwiegend küstennahe Ablagerungsbereiche untergliedert werden kann; diese sind durch die Verzahnung von Siliziklastika mit Mergeln und Kalken gekennzeichnet und erreichen maximale Mächtigkeiten innerhalb der flachen Depocenter. Die mittelkretazische Plattform zerbrach in der Oberkreide: Synsedimentäre Faltung im Norden und Blockverwerfung weiter südlich (entlang reaktivierter alter Störungssysteme) werden auf die N/ NW Drift der Afrikanischen Platte zurückgeführt. Weite Gebiete Nordostafrikas wurden im Senon von ausgedehnten Kreide- und Mergelablagerungen bedeckt; die lokalen Vorkommen von Phosphaten und Plattformkarbonaten sind an synsedimentäre Strukturen gebunden. Im Alttertiär sind erneut synsedimentäre tektonische Bewegungen festzustellen (die auch im Zusammenhang mit dem beginnenden Rifting von Rotem Meer und Golf von Suez stehen). In der Umrandung herausgehobener Horstblöcke fand Karbonatsedimentation statt, während in den übrigen Gebieten Mergel, Tonsteine und Kreide (Chalks) abgelagert wurden.

Résumé Les conditions de dépôt des calcaires phanérozoïques du nord-est de l'Egypte ont été reconstituées à partir des microfaciès et du contenu en fossiles des séries suivantes à dominante calcaire: Carbonifère supérieur, Amsien supérieur/Ladinien /(Carnien), Bajocien/Kimmeridgien, Aptien/Albien, Cénomanien supérieur/Turonien inférieur, Coniacien supérieur, Maestrichtien, Paléocène supérieur/ Eocène inférieur. La sédimentation de la plupart des couches phanérozoïques s'est organisée en fonction de la présence du craton africain au sud et de la Téthvs au nord; leur épaisseur augmente vers le nord, en relation avec la descente progressive vers le nord-nord-ouest de la surface du craton pré-cambrien. Des phénomènes de subsidence différentielle sont à l'origine de diverses aires d'accumulation importante à partir du Jurassique (avec un maximum au cours du Crétacé).Les sédiments d'âge crétacé inférieur et moyen se sont déposés le long du shelf nord-africain dans divers milieux littoraux, caractérisés par l'interdigitation de siliciclastites, de marnes et de calcaires, avec une puissance maximale dans les aires d'accumulation subsidentes. La plate-forme du Crétacé moyen a été détruite au cours du Crétacé supérieur: des plis syn-sédimentaires dans les parties septentrionales et des mouvements verticaux de »block faulting« plus au sud (le long du système de failles anciennes réactivées) traduisent la dérive vers le nord/nord ouest de la plaque africaine. Au Sénonien, de larges surfaces de l'Afrique du Nord ont été recouvertes de craies et de marnes, simultanément à des déôts locaux de phosphates et de carbonates de plate-forme, cette diversité traduisant l'instabilité structurale syn-sédimentaire. Les mouvements syn-sédimentaires ont pris fin au Crétacé supérieur puis ont été réactivés au début du Tertiaire. Le commencement de l'ouverture de la Mer Rouge et du Golfe de Suez a influencé la sédimentation du Tertiaire inférieur dans les régions voisines. Les carbonates se sont formés essentiellement dans les régions soulevées, tandis que le dépôt de marnes, argile et craies prévalait dans la plupart des autres endroits.

Model considerations for the evolution of carbonate groundwaters in the Schwäbische Alb (Federal Republic of Germany)     

Jochen Michaelis  Eberhard Usdowski  Günter Menschel 《Chemical Geology》1984,46(3):197-204

The evolution of carbonate groundwaters may occur in a so-called open or closed system or under conditions between the extremes. In order to distinguish between the cases the chemistry of the water and the carbon isotope composition of the dissolved carbonate, the carbonate rock and the soil CO₂ of the recharge area must be known. Model calculations based on measurements of the above parameters show that ground-waters in the “Schwäbische Alb”, Federal Republic of Germany, are evolved essentially under closed-system conditions. The average measured carbon isotope composition of the water is δ ¹³C = ?13.7%₀ vs. calculated values of δ ¹³C = ?13.5%₀ and δ ¹³C = ?18.5%₀ assuming a closed and an open system, respectively. In model calculations for closed-system conditions the origin of sulfate ions has to be considered.  相似文献
