An aircraft survey was carried out for the study of the gaseous and particulate emissions over Mt Etna Volcano in September 1983. Samples were collected in the range from 10 to 300 km; a satisfying conservation of the elemental composition of the aerosol has been observed. Some activity fluctuation, 150 km from the emitter, was attributed to an ash fall episode. Sampling assumed that some crustal elements in the volcanic aerosol can be used to measure the plume dilution factor. New estimations of volcanic particulate fluxes are given.  相似文献

The 1975–1977 crisis of la Soufriere de Guadeloupe (F.W.I): A still-born magmatic eruption

On July 8, 1976, eruptive activity broke out at la Soufrière de Guadeloupe (F.W.I) after about one year of increasing seismic activity. Seismic activity continued to increase until August 1976, reaching more than 1500 events (a 200-fold increase over the preceding quiet period of a few years) and an energy output of about 10¹⁷ ergs in a day. A total of 26 major phreatic eruptions similar to the July 8 outburst took place during an eight-months period. The steam blasts that characterized the eruptions gave rise to particle- and sometimes block-charged plumes that deposited an estimated 10⁶ m³ of solids. The H₂O-rich gases emitted during the blasts presumably contained other gases (H₂S, SO₂, CO₂...) that were partly adsorbed on solid particles. All material was erupted at temperatures of the order of 100° to 200°C.The observation of vertical migration of earthquake foci in less than a few hours and over about 6 km depth, and of abnormal variations of the geomagnetic field, indicate a deep energy source for the phreatic eruptions. A small proportion of the gases adsorbed on solid particles had a magmatic origin. However, most of the steam and the tephra seemed to originate from superficial levels of a hydrothermal system. Similar phreatic eruptions have occurred several times in recorded history. In the case of la Soufrière, the origin of the phreatic eruptions is best described by an abnormal energy input (versus steady-state) from a crustal magma chamber. The occurrence of truly magmatic eruptions is presumably inhibited by an extensive hydrothermal system. The abrupt release of more power from the magma chamber could have resulted in an explosive pyroclastic eruption.Substantial improvement of the Guadeloupe volcano observatory has followed the 1975–1977 crisis. Permanent telemetered geophysical networks and regular geochemical observations have provided a five year data base of the volcano behavior in its noneruptive state which can be compared to crisis situations.  相似文献

Potential Flank-Collapse of Soufrière Volcano, Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles? Numerical Simulation and Hazards     

Anne Le Friant  Georges Boudon  Jean-Christophe Komorowski  Philippe Heinrich  Michel P. Semet 《Natural Hazards》2006,39(3):381-393

The past history of recurrent flank collapses of la Soufrière volcano of Guadeloupe, its structure, its well-developed hydrothermal system and the current activity constitute factors that could promote a future flank collapse, particularly in the case of a significant increase of activity, with or without shallow magmatic input. To address the hazards associated with such a collapse, we model the emplacement of the debris avalanche generated by a flank-collapse event in 1,250 BC (3,100 years B.P.). We use a finite-difference grain-flow model solving mass and momentum conservation equations that are depth-averaged over the slide thickness, and a Coulomb-type friction law with a variable basal (minimum) friction angle. Using the parameter values determined from this simulation, we then simulate the debris avalanche which could be generated by a potential collapse of the present lava dome. We then discuss the region which could be affected by such a future collapse, and additional associated hazards of concern.  相似文献   

Modelling phase–assemblage diagrams for magnesian metapelites in the system K2O–FeO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O: geodynamic consequences for the Monte Rosa nappe, Western Alps     

R. Le Bayon  C. de Capitani  M. Frey 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2006,151(4):395-412

Magnesian metamorphic rocks with metapelitic mineral assemblage and composition are of great interest in metamorphic petrology for their ability to constrain P–T conditions in terranes where metamorphism is not easily visible. Phase–assemblage diagrams for natural and model magnesian metapelites in the system KFMASH are presented to document how phase relationships respond to water activity, bulk composition, pressure and temperature. The phase assemblages displayed on these phase diagrams are consistent with natural mineral assemblages occurring in magnesian metapelites. It is shown that the equilibrium assemblages at high pressure conditions are very sensitive to a(H₂O). Specifically, the appearance of the characteristic HP assemblage chloritoid–talc–phengite–quartz (with excess H₂O) in the magnesian metapelites of the Monte Rosa nappe (Western Alps) is due to the reduction of a(H₂O). Furthermore, the mineral assemblages are determined by the whole-rock FeO/(FeO+MgO) ratio and effective Al content X _A as well as P and T. The predicted mineral associations for the low- and high-X _A model bulk compositions of magnesian metapelites at high pressure are not dependent on the X _A variations as they show a similar sequence of mineral assemblages. Above 20 kbar, the prograde sequence of assemblages associated with phengite (with excess SiO₂ and H₂O) for low- and high-X _A bulk compositions of magnesian metapelites is: carpholite–chlorite → chlorite–chloritoid → chloritoid–talc → chloritoid–talc–kyanite → talc–garnet–kyanite → garnet–kyanite ± biotite. At low to medium P–T conditions, a low-X _A stabilises the phengite-bearing assemblages associated with chlorite, chlorite + K-feldspar and chlorite + biotite while a high-X _A results in the chlorite–phengite bearing assemblages associated with pyrophyllite, andalusite, kyanite and carpholite. A high-X _A magnesian metapelite with nearly iron-free content stabilises the talc–kyanite–phengite assemblage at moderate to high P–T conditions. Taking into account the effective bulk composition and a(H₂O) involved in the metamorphic history, the phase–assemblage diagrams presented here may be applied to all magnesian metapelites that have compositions within the system KFMASH and therefore may contribute to gaining insights into the metamorphic evolution of terranes. As an example, the magnesian metapelites of the Monte Rosa nappe have been investigated, and an exhumation path with P–T conditions for the western roof of the Monte Rosa nappe has been derived for the first time. The exhumation shows first a near-isothermal decompression from the Alpine eclogite peak conditions around 24 kbar and 505°C down to approximately 8 kbar and 475°C followed by a second decompression with concomitant cooling.M.

Origin and fluxes of atmospheric REE entering an ombrotrophic peat bog in Black Forest (SW Germany): Evidence from snow, lichens and mosses     

Dominique Aubert  Gaël Le Roux  Michael Krachler  Bernd Kober  Peter Stille 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2006,70(11):2815-2826

The fate of the Rare Earth Elements (REE) were investigated in different types of archives of atmospheric deposition in the Black Forest, Southern Germany: (1) a 70 cm snow pack collected on the domed part of a raised bog and representing 2 months of snow accumulation, (2) a snow sample collected close to the road about 500 m from the peat bog, (3) two species of lichens and (4) a peat profile representing 400 years of peat accumulation as well as a “preanthropogenic” sample and the living moss layer from the top of the core. REE concentrations in peat are significantly correlated to Ti which is a lithogenic conservative element suggesting that REE are immobile in peat bog environments. Snow, lichens and peat samples show similar PAAS (Post Archean Australian Shale) normalized REE distributions suggesting that the complete atmospheric REE signal is preserved in the peat profile. However, the annual flux of REE accumulated by the peat is ca. 10 times greater than that of the bulk winter flux of REE. This difference probably indicates that the REE concentrations in the snowpack are not representative of the average REE flux over the whole year. Despite the pronounced geological differences between this site (granite host-rock) and a previously studied peat bog in Switzerland (limestone host-rock) similar REE distribution patterns and accumulation rates were found at both sites. Given that both sites confirm an Upper Continental Crust signature, the data suggests both sites are influenced by regional and not local, soil-derived lithogenic aerosols.  相似文献   

Parasequence development in the Ediacaran Shuram Formation (Nafun Group, Oman): high-resolution stratigraphic test for primary origin of negative carbon isotopic ratios     

Erwan Le Guerroué  Philip A. Allen  Andrea Cozzi 《Basin Research》2006,18(2):205-219

Neoproterozoic carbonates are known to show exceptional variations in their carbon isotopic ratios, and in the absence of biostratigraphy and a firm geochronological framework, these variations are used as a correlation tool. However, it is controversial whether the carbon isotope record reveals a primary oceanographic signal or secondary effects such as diagenesis. The Shuram Formation of the Nafun Group of Oman allows a stratigraphic test of this problem. The Nafun Group (Huqf Supergroup, Oman) in the Huqf area of east-central Oman consists of inner carbonate ramp facies of the Khufai Formation overlain by marine, storm-generated, red and brown siltstones of the Shuram Formation. Towards its top, the Shuram Formation is composed of distinctive shallowing-upward, 4–17-m-thick parasequences cropping out continuously over 35 km, which show recessive swaley cross-stratified siltstones capped by ledges comprising wave-rippled, intraclast-rich ooidal carbonate. These storm-dominated facies show a regional deepening in palaeobathymetry towards the south. The carbonates of the Shuram Formation are marked by an extreme depletion in ¹³C in bulk rock. δ¹³C values quickly reach a nadir of −12‰ just above the Khufai-Shuram boundary and steadily return to positive values in the overlying mainly dolomitic Buah Formation. The Shuram excursion is thought to be ca . 50 Myr in duration and extends over 600 m of stratigraphy. Carbon isotopic values show a systematic variation in the parasequence stack, with values varying both vertically through the stratigraphy (∼2‰ per 45 m) and laterally in the progradation distance (∼1‰ over 35 km). This supports a primary, oceanographic origin for these extremely negative carbon isotopic values and independently argues strongly against diagenetic resetting.  相似文献
