Knowledge of the position and motion of points on the seafloor can be critically important in both fundamental research (for
example, global geodesy and plate tectonics) and for more practical applications such as seismic risk evaluation, off-shore
construction and pipeline monitoring. In the Vanuatu subduction zone, for example, measuring deformation underwater could
provide valuable information for modeling deformation and understanding the seismic cycle. We report a shallow water experiment
in Vanuatu to measure the relative and absolute depth of seafloor points. The experiment differs from previous efforts mainly
in that it uses the height of the sea surface determined by kinematic GPS, allowing us to locate the points in a global reference
frame. The ITRF2005 ellipsoidal height of a seafloor benchmark was determined with a 1-sigma uncertainty of 0.7–2.1 cm. The
estimated ellipsoidal height differs only by a few tenths of a centimeter between measurements made in 2004 and another set
made in 2006. These results are encouraging and open new perspectives for vertical underwater deformation monitoring in shallow
water areas. Sea-surface GPS measurements can also help to reduce the uncertainty in depth difference determination for relative
measurements. 相似文献

Eruptive style of the young high-Mg basaltic-andesite Pelagatos scoria cone,southeast of México City 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The eruption of the Pelagatos scoria cone in the Sierra Chichinautzin monogenetic field near the southern suburbs of Mexico
City occurred less than 14,000 years ago. The eruption initiated at a fissure with an effusive phase that formed a 7-km-long
lava flow, and continued with a phase of alternating and/or simultaneous explosive and effusive activity that built a 50-m-high
scoria cone on the western end of the fissure and formed a compound lava flow-field near the vent. The eruption ended with
the emplacement of a short lava flow that breached the cone and was accompanied by weak explosions at the crater. Products
consist of a microlite-rich high-Mg basaltic andesite. Samples were analyzed to determine the magma’s initial properties as
well as the effects of degassing-induced crystallization on eruptive style. Although distal ash fallout deposits from this
eruption are not preserved, a recent quarry exposes a large section of the scoria cone. Detailed study of exposed layers allows
us to elucidate the mode of cone-building activity. Petrological and textural data, combined with models calibrated by experimental
work and melt-inclusion analyses of similar magmas elsewhere, indicate that the magma was initially hot (>1,200°C), gas-rich
(up to 5 wt.% H2O), crystal-poor (~10 vol.% Fo90 olivine phenocrysts) and thus poorly viscous (40–80 Pa s). During the early phase, low magma ascent velocity at the fissure
vent allowed low-viscosity magma to degas and crystallize during ascent, producing lava flows with elevated crystal contents
at T < 1,100°C, and blocky surfaces. Later, the closure of the fissure by cooling dikes focused the magma flow at a narrow section
of the fissure. This led to an increased magma ascent velocity. Rapid and shallow degassing (<3 km deep) triggered ~40 vol.%
microlite crystallization. Limited times for gas-escape and higher magma viscosity (6 × 105–4 × 106 Pa s) drove strong explosions of highly (60–80 vol.%) and finely vesicular magma. Coarse clasts broke on landing, which implies
brittle behavior due to complete solidification. This requires sufficient time to cool and in turn implies ejection heights
of over 1 km, which is much higher than “normal” Strombolian activity. Hence, magma viscosity significantly impacts eruption style at monogenetic volcanoes because it affects the kinetics
of shallow degassing. The long-lasting eruptions of Jorullo and Paricutin, which produced similar magmas in western México,
were more explosive. This can be related to higher magma fluxes and total erupted volumes. Implications of this study are
important because basaltic andesites are commonly erupted to form monogenetic scoria cones of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. 相似文献

Arctic salinity anomalies and their link to the North Atlantic during a positive phase of the Arctic Oscillation 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Marie-Noelle Houssais Christophe Herbaut Clément Rousset 《Progress in Oceanography》2007,73(2):160-189
Many of the changes observed during the last two decades in the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas have been linked to the concomitant abrupt decrease of the sea level pressure in the central Arctic at the end of the 1980s. The decrease was associated with a shift of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) to a positive phase, which persisted throughout the mid 1990s. The Arctic salinity distribution is expected to respond to these dramatic changes via modifications in the ocean circulation and in the fresh water storage and transport by sea ice. The present study investigates these different contributions in the context of idealized ice-ocean experiments forced by atmospheric surface wind-stress or temperature anomalies representative of a positive AO index.Wind stress anomalies representative of a positive AO index generate a decrease of the fresh water content of the upper Arctic Ocean, which is mainly concentrated in the eastern Arctic with almost no compensation from the western Arctic. Sea ice contributes to about two-third of this salinification, another third being provided by an increased supply of salt by the Atlantic inflow and increased fresh water export through the Canadian Archipelago and Fram Strait. The signature of a saltier Atlantic Current in the Norwegian Sea is not found further north in both the Barents Sea and the Fram Strait branches of the Atlantic inflow where instead a widespread freshening is observed. The latter is the result of import of fresh anomalies from the subpolar North Atlantic through the Iceland-Scotland Passage and enhanced advection of low salinity waters via the East Icelandic Current. The volume of ice exported through Fram Strait increases by 20% primarily due to thicker ice advected into the strait from the northern Greenland sector, the increase of ice drift velocities having comparatively less influence. The export anomaly is comparable to those observed during events of Great Salinity Anomalies and induces substantial freshening in the Greenland Sea, which in turn contributes to increasing the fresh water export to the North Atlantic via Denmark Strait. With a fresh water export anomaly of 7 mSv, the latter is the main fresh water supplier to the subpolar North Atlantic, the Canadian Archipelago contributing to 4.4 mSv.The removal of fresh water by sea ice under a positive winter AO index mainly occurs through enhanced thin ice growth in the eastern Arctic. Winter SAT anomalies have little impact on the thermodynamic sea ice response, which is rather dictated by wind driven ice deformation changes. The global sea ice mass balance of the western Arctic indicates almost no net sea ice melt due to competing seasonal thermodynamic processes. The surface freshening and likely enhanced sea ice melt observed in the western Arctic during the 1990s should therefore be attributed to extra-winter atmospheric effects, such as the noticeable recent spring-summer warming in the Canada-Alaska sector, or to other modes of atmospheric circulations than the AO, especially in relation to the North Pacific variability. 相似文献

Clay mineral assemblages of the Neogene Himalayan foreland basin are studied to decipher their significance with respect to tectonic and climate processes. Fluvial deposits of the Siwalik Group (west‐central Nepal), and sediment of the Ganga River drainage system were analysed for clay mineralogy. The observed clay mineral assemblages are mainly composed of illite (dominant), chlorite, smectite and kaolinite. Illite and chlorite are chiefly of detrital origin, derived from Himalayan sources. Kaolinite and smectite are authigenic, and mainly developed within pore space and as coating of detrital particles. With increasing burial, diagenetic processes affected the original clay mineral signature. Illitisation of smectite and kaolinite occurred below 2500 and 3500 m depth, respectively. Therefore, illite in the lower parts of the Siwalik Group consists of a mixture of inherited illite and illitised smectite and kaolinite, as suggested by illite crystallinity. Detrital grains that make up the framework of the Siwalik Group sandstones mainly consist of quartz, feldspar and lithic fragments, which are principally of sedimentary and metamorphic origin. Lithoclast content increases over time at the expense of quartz and K‐feldspar in response to uplift and erosion of the Lesser Himalaya Series since about 11–10 Ma. Despite mainly felsic source rocks, dominantly physical erosion processes in the Himalayan belt, and high‐energy fluvial depositional systems, smectite is abundant in the <7 Ma Siwalik Group deposits. Analyses of the Siwalik deposits and comparison with the clay mineralogy of the modern drainage system suggest that smectite preferentially formed in floodplains and intermontane valleys during early diagenesis because of downward percolating fluids rich in cations from weathering and soil development. In general, increasing seasonality and aridity linked to variability of the Asian monsoon from about 8 Ma enhanced clay mineral formation and development of authigenic smectite in paleo‐plains on the southern side of the Himalaya. 相似文献

Decades of cruise-based exploration have provided excellent snapshots of the structure of mid-ocean ridges and have revealed
that accretion is a mixture of steady-state and quantum events. Observatory-type studies are now needed to quantify the temporal
evolution of these systems. A multi-disciplinary seafloor observatory site is currently being set up at the Lucky Strike volcano,
in the axial valley of the slow spreading Mid-Atlantic ridge as a part of the MoMAR (monitoring of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge)
initiative. The aim of this observatory is to better understand the dynamics of the volcano and the hydrothermal vents hosted
at its summit as well as their plumbing systems. In August 2006, the GRAVILUCK cruise initiated an experiment to monitor the
deformation of Lucky Strike volcano. A geodetic network was installed, and seafloor pressure, gravity and magnetic data were
collected. In this paper, we present the method used to monitor volcanic deformation, which involves measuring relative depth
difference between points within a seafloor geodesy network. We show that, taking into account oceanographic variability and
measurement noise, the network should be able to detect vertical deformations of the order of 1 cm. 相似文献

The 690?km2 Tacámbaro-Puruarán area located at the arc-front part of the Michoácan-Guanajuato volcanic field in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) records a protracted history of volcanism that culminated with intense monogenetic activity in the Holocene. Geologic mapping, 40Ar/39Ar and 14C radiometric dating, and whole-rock chemical analyses of volcanic products provide insights to that history. Eocene volcanics (55–40?Ma) exposed at uplifted blocks are related to a magmatic arc that preceded the TMVB. Early TMVB products are represented by poorly exposed Pliocene silicic domes (5–2?Ma). Quaternary (<2?Ma) volcanoes (114 mapped) are mainly scoria cones with lavas (49 vol.%), viscous lava flows (22 vol.%), and lava shields (22 vol.%). Erupted products are dominantly either basaltic andesites (37 vol. %), or andesites (17 vol.%), or span across both compositions (28 vol.%). Basalts (9 vol.%), dacites (4 vol.%), shoshonites (2 vol.%), and other alkali-rich rocks (<3 vol.%) occur subordinately. Early-Pleistocene volcanism was bimodal (dacites and basalts) and voluminous while since 1?Ma small-volume eruptions of intermediate magmas have dominated. Higher rates of lithospheric extension in the Quaternary may have allowed a larger number of small, poorly evolved dikes to reach the surface during this period. Eruptive centers as old as 1.7?Ma are aligned in a NE direction parallel to both, basement faults and the direction of regional compressive stress, implying structural control on volcanic activity. Data suggest that volcanism was strongly pulsatory and fed by localized low-degree partial melting of mantle sources. In the Holocene, at least 13 eruptions occurred (average recurrence interval of 800?years). These produced ~3.8?km3 of basaltic andesitic to andesitic magma and included four eruptions dated at ~1,000; 4,000; 8,000; and 11,000?years bc (calibrated 14C ages). To date, this is one of the highest monogenetic eruption frequencies detected within such a small area in a subduction-related arc-setting. These anomalous rates of monogenetic activity in an area with thick crust (>30?km) may be related to high rates of magma production at depth and a favorable tectonic setting. 相似文献

One of the most remarkable features of the exceptionally well preserved 26 km3 Socompa debris avalanche deposit is the evidence for topographically driven secondary flow. The avalanche formed by sector
collapse of Socompa stratovolcano and spread 40 km across a pre-existing basin, forming a sheet of ∼50 m average thickness.
As the avalanche impinged on the western and northern margins of the basin, it was reflected back, forming a secondary flow
that continued to travel 15 km down a gentle slope at an oblique angle to the primary flow, the front of the return wave being
preserved frozen on the surface of the deposit as a prominent escarpment. Satellite images, aerial photos, digital elevation
models and field observations were used to reconstruct the sequence of events during avalanche emplacement, and in particular
during secondary flow. The avalanche sheet was divided into distinct terrane groups, each believed to have experienced a particular
strain history during emplacement. Evidence for avalanche reflection includes clearly recognizable secondary slide masses,
sub-parallel sets of curvilinear shear zones, headwall scarps separating the (primary) levée from the secondary terranes,
extensional jigsaw breakup of surface lithologies during return flow, and cross cutting, or deflection, of primary flow fabrics
by secondary terranes. Reflection off the basin margin took place in an essentially continuous manner, most major return motions
being simultaneous with, or shortly following, primary flow. The secondary flow occurred as a wave that swept obliquely across
the primary avalanche direction, remobilizing the primary material, which was first compressed, then stretched, as it passed
over and rearward of the wave front. As return flow occurred, surface lithologies were rifted in a brittle manner, and the
slabs were sheared pervasively as they glided and rotated back into the basin; some sank into the more fluidal interior of
the avalanche, which drained out into a prominent distal lobe. Extension by factors of up to 1.8 took place during return
flow. Secondary flow took place on slopes of only a few degrees, and the distal lobe flowed 8 km on a slope of ∼1°. Overall
the avalanche is inferred to have slid into place as a fast-moving sheet of fragmental rock debris, with a leading edge and
crust with near-normal friction and an almost frictionless, fluidal interior and base. The avalanche emplacement history deduced
from field evidence is consistent with the results of a previously published numerical model of the Socompa avalanche. 相似文献
