Narragansett Bay has been heavily influenced by human activities for more than 200 years. In recent decades, it has been one
of the more intensively fertilized estuaries in the USA, with most of the anthropogenic nutrient load originating from sewage
treatment plants (STP). This will soon change as tertiary treatment upgrades reduce nitrogen (N) loads by about one third
or more during the summer. Before these reductions take place, we sought to characterize the sewage N signature in primary
(macroalgae) and secondary (the hard clam, Mercenaria mercenaria) producers in the bay using stable isotopes of N (δ15N) and carbon (δ13C). The δ15N signatures of the macroalgae show a clear gradient of approximately 4‰ from north to south, i.e., high to low point source
loading. There is also evidence of a west to east gradient of heavy to light values of δ15N in the bay consistent with circulation patterns and residual flows. The Providence River Estuary, just north of Narragansett
Bay proper, receives 85% of STP inputs to Narragansett Bay, and lower δ15N values in macroalgae there reflected preferential uptake of 14N in this heavily fertilized area. Differences in pH from N stimulated photosynthesis and related shifts in predominance of
dissolved C species may control the observed δ13C signatures. Unlike the macroalgae, the clams were remarkably uniform in both δ15N (13.2 ± 0.54‰ SD) and δ13C (−16.76 ± 0.61‰ SD) throughout the bay, and the δ15N values were 2–5‰ heavier than in clams collected outside the bay. We suggest that this remarkable uniformity reflects a
food source of anthropogenically heavy phytoplankton formed in the upper bay and supported by sewage derived N. We estimate
that approximately half of the N in the clams throughout Narragansett Bay may be from anthropogenic sources. 相似文献

An attempt has been made in Chinnar sub basin of Dharmapuri district, South India to isolate the geochemistry of uranium occurrences in groundwater. The geology of the area is mainly of charnockite and granite gneiss. Groundwater samples were collected for two different seasons post and pre monsoon in two different litho units (granite gneiss and charnockite) and analysed for major, minor and uranium concentrations. Higher uranium (18.45 μg L?1) has been recorded during pre monsoon season in granite gneiss with increasing pH. The saturation index calculation for the groundwater isolated minerals like uaraninite, coffinite, haiweeite and soddyite to be precipitating and uranium oxides like UO2.25, UO2.25beta, UO2.33beta as oversaturated. The Eh-pH diagram attempted represents solubility of uraninite within the pH range of 6.0 to 8.0. The study isolate uranium in groundwater of the study area is controlled by the presence of (U4O9) uranium oxide. 相似文献

A roving creel survey of the recreational shore fishery along the 16.4-km coastline in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area on the south coast of South Africa was conducted from 2009 to 2011. Some 838 patrols were stratified equally among months, areas and years, but intentionally biased towards weekends. Angler densities at Buffalo Bay and Groenvlei were 0.59 and 0.28 anglers km?1, respectively. Weekend densities were double to quadruple weekday densities and fishing during winter was more popular than during summer. Area, habitat and distance to access points explained variation in angler densities. Shannon–Wiener diversity in catches declined from 2.18 in an earlier (1993–2002) survey to 1.79. Although the order of species abundance in the catches remained largely unchanged, blacktail Diplodus capensis dominance increased to 57.3% by number, at the expense of galjoen Dichistius capensis. Habitat explained 27% of the variance in catch composition. The catch per unit effort (CPUE) for the top nine species ranged from 0.19 to 6.35 fish 100-h?1. The CPUE of all species, except spotted grunter Pomadasys commersonnii, declined. Blacktail and galjoen CPUE declined by 17% and 77%, respectively. The total catch estimate was 2 986 fish y?1. Transgressions of size limits were common. The results suggest that the fishery is overexploited and that catch rates are declining. 相似文献

东天山伊吾二叠纪花岗质杂岩体的锆石定年、地球化学及其构造意义 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2
伊吾花岗质杂岩体主要由二长花岗岩和碱长花岗岩构成。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年分析得到二长花岗岩和碱长花岗岩的侵位年龄分别为284.6±1.4Ma和284.0±1.1Ma。结合地质证据,此年龄表明该杂岩体形成于碰撞之后的二叠纪早期挤压-伸展转折阶段。岩石学、地球化学和同位素等方面的对比研究表明这两种岩石为同一岩浆演化的产物。与二长花岗岩相比,碱长花岗岩表现为硅、碱的含量较高,而铝的含量较低;富Th、U、Nb、Ta,贫Sr、P、Ti、Sm;DI和Rb/Sr升高,Nb/Ta和Zr/Hf下降,从二长花岗岩到碱长花岗岩表现出连续分异演化的趋势。计算得到二长花岗岩和碱长花岗岩的模式年龄(t_(DM))分别为693Ma和763Ma,ε_(Nd)(t)分别为+4.53和+4.64,(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i分别为0.703858和0.703855,表现出高ε_(Nd)(t)低(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i的特征。这些特征表明,伊吾岩体的岩浆来自新元古代时从亏损地幔分离出来的初生地壳源区。二长花岗岩岩浆是这种初生地壳岩浆演化的产物,而碱长花岗岩形成于二长花岗岩母岩浆经斜长石、磷灰石、钛铁氧化物、榍石、独居石、褐帘石和锆石等矿物分离结晶后的残留岩浆。 相似文献

In order to evaluate and further constrain models for volatile movement and vapor enrichment of magma stored at shallow levels, amphibole phenocrysts from 2004–2005 Mount St. Helens dacite were analyzed for major and selected trace elements (Li, Cu, Zn, Mn, and REE) and Li isotopes. Several recent studies have examined fluid-mobile trace element abundances in phencryst phases and melt inclusions as a means of tracking volatile movement within subvolcanic magmatic systems, and high Li contents in plagioclase phenocrysts from 1980 and 2004 Mount St. Helens dacites have been interpreted as evidence that shallow magma was fluxed by a Li-bearing vapor phase prior to eruption. 相似文献

Laboratory studies of the weathering of sulphide ores have centred around using samples of ore as electrodes and accelerating the weathering processes by passing an electric current. The results of reacting 19 different ore types under varying conditions are compared with data from co-precipitating, Fe and Cu, Fe and Ni, Fe and Zn, Fe and Co, and Fe and Pb, over a pH range from 2 to 11. An electrochemical cell specially designed to fit onto an optical microscope has allowed direct observation of the changes in sulphide mineral grains as they are anodically weathered.These experiments are used to demonstrate that the pH of the environment during the weathering of sulphides to sulphates is the most important parameter in determining the initial gossan minerals that form. Factors that will cause the pH to be high are buffering from gangue and wallrock minerals, low iron content in the sulphide and a high metal to sulphur ratio in the sulphide. A low pH is favoured by the converse, namely a sulphide sufficiently massive to override the buffering effects of the wallrocks and any gangue minerals present, a high iron content in the sulphide and a low metal to sulphur ratio in the sulphide.Two mechanisms of iron hydrolysis dominate the weathering processes where iron is a major metal being released from a sulphide.
- 1. (1) The high pH process. Where there is sufficient buffering for the pH to remain at or above 7, most of the base metals including ferrous iron will be hydrolysed and pyroaurite type of minerals form for Ni, Zn and Co, while mixed Fe-Cu hydroxycarbonates and hydroxysulphates form for Cu, and mixed iron lead hydrocarbonates form for Pb. The iron is located in these initial compounds as a green rust where it is effectively bound as ferrous hydroxide. Subsequent oxidation of this hydroxide produces no further acid. 4Fe(OH)2 + O2 + 2H20 → 4Fe(OH)3
- 2. (2) The low pH process. Where the buffering is insufficient and the pH is below 7, even though some of the ferrous iron will have precipitated as an equivalent to Fe(OH)2, the solubility is such that sufficient Fe2+ will remain in solution so that further oxidation will produce acid. 4Fe2+ + O2 + 1OH2O → Fe(OH)3 + 8H+ This acid will bring more of the Fe2+ into solution to create more acid and the pH will gradually fall even further, so that the gossan forming environment will be at a pH less than 5 and may be as low as 3. At these low pH values, the base metals are soluble and not prone to co-precipitation or adsorption with the gossan minerals. Only elements present in solution as anions, such as Se, As, Mo and Sb, are likely to be bound into gossans forming at low pH.

The results of experimentally coprecipitating the base metals Cu, Ni, Zn, Co and Pb with iron as it is oxidised and hydrolised are presented in conjunction with the data from anodically weathering 19 different sulphide ore electrodes.At pH-values above 6 the base metals are shown to be retained in the solid precipitates with Fe“Ni, Fe“Zn and Fe“Co pyroaurite-type phases forming. A 7–8-Å interlayer spacing predominates at higher pH while at the pH of 6–7 where the base metals become more soluble, a 10–11-Å spacing forms. The Fe“Cu system gives posnjakite and brochantite phases that are likely to have a high Fe content, as well as the oxides tenorite and cuprite. The base metals can be leached out of these precipitates if they are acted on by weakly acid leachants, but alkaline leaching shows retention of the base metals.Below pH 6 the base metals are more soluble, with Cu and Pb being retained to some degree in the precipitates as Fe-oxyhydroxide minerals form.In the light of experiments that show the mechanisms involved in the formation of all of these phases, two mechanisms for the formation of iron minerals during the weathering of sulphides to gossans are discussed. One at higher pH that gives rise to retention of base metals with the iron minerals, and the other giving rise to a low pH and the solubilising of the base metals. 相似文献

The morphology and composition of spinel in rapidly quenched Pu’u ’O’o vent and lava tube samples are described. These samples contain glass, olivine phenocrysts (3–5 vol.%) and microphenocrysts of spinel (0.05 vol.%). The spinel surrounded by glass occurs as idiomorphic octahedra 5–50 μm in diameter and as chains of octahedra that are oriented with respect to each other. Spinel enclosed by olivine phenocrysts is sometimes rounded and does not generally form chains. The temperature before quenching was calculated from the MgO content of the glass and ranges from 1150°C to 1180°C. The oxygen fugacity before quenching was calculated by two independent methods and the log fO2 ranged from −9.2 to −9.9 (delta QFM=−1). The spinel in the Pu’u ’O’o samples has a narrow range in composition with Cr/(Cr+Al)=0.61 to 0.73 and Fe2+/(Fe2++Mg)=0.46 to 0.56. The lower the calculated temperature for the samples, the higher the average Fe2+/(Fe2++Mg), Fe3+ and Ti in the spinel. Most zoned spinel crystals decrease in Cr/(Cr+Al) from core to rim and, in the chains, the Cr/(Cr+Al) is greater in the core of larger crystals than in the core of smaller crystals. The occurrence of chains and hopper crystals and the presence of Cr/(Cr+Al) zoning from core to rim of the spinel suggest diffusion-controlled growth of the crystals. Some of the spinel crystals may have grown rapidly under the turbulent conditions of the summit reservoir and in the flowing lava, and the crystals may have remained in suspension for a considerable period. The rapid growth may have caused very local (μm) gradients of Cr in the melt ahead of the spinel crystal faces. The crystals seem to have retained the Cr/(Cr+Al) ratio that developed during the original growth of the crystal, but the Fe2+/(Fe2++Mg) ratio may have equilibrated fairly rapidly with the changing melt composition due to olivine crystallization. Six of the samples were collected on the same day at various locations along a 10-km lava tube and the calculated pre-collection temperatures of the samples show a 5°C drop with distance from the vent. The average Fe2+/(Fe2++Mg) of the spinel in these samples shows a weak positive correlation with decreasing MgO in the glass of these samples. The range in Cr2O3 (0.041–0.045 wt.%) of the glass for these six samples is too small to distinguish a consistent change along the lava tube. The spinel in the Pu’u ’O’o samples shows a zoning trend in a Cr–Al–Fe3+ diagram almost directly away from the Cr apex. This compares with a zoning trend in rapidly quenched MORB samples away from Cr coupled with decreasing Fe3+. The trend away from Cr displayed by spinel in rapidly quenched samples is in marked contrast to the trend of increasing Fe3+ shown by spinel in slowly cooled lava. 相似文献

Cooling and crystallization of lava in open channels, and the transition of Pāhoehoe Lava to 'A'ā 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Samples collected from a lava channel active at Kīlauea Volcano during May 1997 are used to constrain rates of lava cooling
and crystallization during early stages of flow. Lava erupted at near-liquidus temperatures (∼1150 °C) cooled and crystallized
rapidly in upper parts of the channel. Glass geothermometry indicates cooling by 12–14 °C over the first 2 km of transport.
At flow velocities of 1–2 m/s, this translates to cooling rates of 22–50 °C/h. Cooling rates this high can be explained by
radiative cooling of a well-stirred flow, consistent with observations of non-steady flow in proximal regions of the channel.
Crystallization of plagioclase and pyroxene microlites occurred in response to cooling, with crystallization rates of 20–50%
per hour. Crystallization proceeded primarily by nucleation of new crystals, and nucleation rates of ∼104/cm3s are similar to those measured in the 1984 open channel flow from Mauna Loa Volcano. There is no evidence for the large nucleation
delays commonly assumed for plagioclase crystallization in basaltic melts, possibly a reflection of enhanced nucleation due
to stirring of the flow. The transition of the flow surface morphology from pāhoehoe to 'a'ā occurred at a distance of 1.9 km
from the vent. At this point, the flow was thermally stratified, with an interior temperature of ∼1137 °C and crystallinity
of ∼15%, and a flow surface temperature of ∼1100 °C and crystallinity of ∼45%. 'A'ā formation initiated along channel margins,
where crust was continuously disrupted, and involved tearing and clotting of the flow surface. Both observations suggest that
the transition involved crossing of a rheological threshold. We suggest this threshold to be the development of a lava yield
strength sufficient to prevent viscous flow of lava at the channel margin. We use this concept to propose that 'a'ā formation
in open channels requires both sufficiently high strain rates for continued disruption of surface crusts and sufficient groundmass
crystallinity to generate a yield strength equivalent to the imposed stress. In Hawai'i, where lava is typically microlite
poor on eruption, these combined requirements help to explain two common observations on 'a'ā formation: (a) 'a'ā flow fields
are generated when effusion rates are high (thus promoting crustal disruption); and (b) under most eruption conditions, lava
issues from the vent as pāhoehoe and changes to 'a'ā only after flowing some distance, thus permitting sufficient crystallization.

江西铜坑嶂钼矿和红山铜矿含矿斑岩锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义 总被引：10，自引：2，他引：8
江西铜坑嶂钼矿和红山铜矿是在武夷山成矿带中最近发现的两个斑岩型矿床。本文利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年方法对铜坑嶂花岗斑岩和红山含矿花岗斑岩分别进行了年代学研究,获得铜坑嶂岩体中花岗斑岩的锆石年龄为138±1Ma,代表斑岩体侵位的年龄;红山矿区含矿斑岩的锆石年龄,分作两期,分别为99Ma和49Ma,两期不同的年龄可能代表了两期热事件。研究表明,铜坑嶂钼矿的成岩成矿时代均发生在白垩纪,其岩浆作用与成矿作用基本吻合。综合前人资料,认为铜坑嶂钼矿区的斑岩和红山铜矿区的斑岩可能分别形成于大陆弧后伸展带和岩石圈伸展环境。 相似文献
