Geological observation in the eastern end of the Himalaya shows that the Asia/India Suture is folded. Metamorphic rocks derived from India occur structurally below the suture, in the core of a regional antiform. Isotopic and fission track dating establish cooling-exhumation of rocks from c.30 km depth within the last 4 Myr. We argue that exhumation is caused by ～ 10 mm yr^-1 erosion coeval with crustal scale folding.  相似文献   

Syn‐metamorphic folding in the Tauern Window,Austria dated by Th–Pb ages from individual allanite porphyroblasts          下载免费PDF全文

R. A. Cliff  F. Oberli  M. Meier  G. T. R. Droop  M. Kelly 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2015,33(4):427-435

High‐precision ²³²Th–²⁰⁸Pb dates have been obtained from allanite porphyroblasts that show unambiguous microstructural relationships to fabrics in a major syn‐metamorphic fold in the SE Tauern Window, Austria. Three porphyroblasts were analysed from a single garnet mica schist from the Peripheral Schieferhülle in the core of the Ankogel Synform, one of a series of folds which developed shortly before the thermal peak of Alpine epidote–amphibolite facies metamorphism: allanite grain 1 provided two analyses with a combined age of 27.7 ± 0.7 Ma; grain 2, which was slightly bent and fractured during crenulation, provided two analyses with a combined age of 27.7 ± 0.4 Ma; a single analysis from grain 3, which overgrew an already crenulated fabric, gave an age of 28.0 ± 1.4 Ma. The five ²³²Th–²⁰⁸Pb ages agree within error and define an isochron with an age of 27.71 ± 0.36 Ma (95% confidence level; MSWD = 0.46). The results imply that the crenulation event was in progress in a short interval (<1 Ma) c. 28 Ma, and that the Ankogel Synform was forming at this time. The thermal peak of regional metamorphism in the SE Tauern Window was probably attained shortly after 28 Ma, only c. 5 Ma after eclogite facies metamorphism in the central Tauern Window. Metasediment may contain allanite porphyroblasts with clear‐cut microstructural relationships to fabric development and metamorphic crystallization; for such rocks, ²³²Th–²⁰⁸Pb dating on microsamples offers a powerful geochronological tool.  相似文献

Kationenaustauschkapazität als Grundlage für die Schätzung der Schwermetallmigration im Boden     

U. Meier 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》1990,18(1):111-114

The adsorption/desorption ratio is an important quantity of the displacement of heavy metals in the soil. Adsorption isotherms as controlled quantities are suitable for the development of a transport model. With the aid of the T value the sorption coefficients and distribution quotients can be determined for different soils. By two examples of simulation the migrations of Cd and Pb were calculated with soil samples of warp clay/gley and loam/para-brown earth. It was found, inter alia, that with increasing time of input the concentration of dissolved and adsorbed heavy metals grows and that the added heavy-metal ions are absorbed in the uppermost layers already. For cases of continuous input the simulation model is recommended for the practice to estimate the migration of heavy metals in soils.  相似文献

Weathering of sulfidic shale and copper mine waste: secondary minerals and metal cycling in Great Smoky Mountains National Park,Tennessee, and North Carolina,USA   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6

Metal cycling via physical and chemical weathering of discrete sources (copper mines) and regional (non-point) sources (sulfide-rich shale) is evaluated by examining the mineralogy and chemistry of weathering products in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, and North Carolina, USA. The elements in copper mine waste, secondary minerals, stream sediments, and waters that are most likely to have negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems are aluminum, copper, zinc, and arsenic because these elements locally exceed toxicity guidelines for surface waters or for stream sediments. Acid-mine drainage has not developed in streams draining inactive copper mines. Acid-rock drainage and chemical weathering processes that accompany debris flows or human disturbances of sulfidic rocks are comparable to processes that develop acid-mine drainage elsewhere. Despite the high rainfall in the mountain range, sheltered areas and intermittent dry spells provide local venues for development of secondary weathering products that can impact aquatic ecosystems.Electronic Supplementary Material  Supplementary material is available for this article if you access the article at .

Projected climate change impact on Baltic Sea cyanobacteria     

Inga Hense  H. E. Markus Meier  Sebastian Sonntag 《Climatic change》2013,119(2):391-406

Compared to other phytoplankton groups, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria generally prefer high water temperatures for growth and are therefore expected to benefit from global warming. We use a coupled biological-physical model with an advanced cyanobacteria life cycle model to compare the abundance of cyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea during two different time periods (1969–1998; 2069–2098). For the latter, we find prolonged growth and a more than twofold increase in the climatologically (30 years) averaged cyanobacteria biomass and nitrogen fixation. Additional sensitivity experiments indicate that the biological-physical feedback mechanism through light absorption becomes more important with global warming. In general, we find a nonlinear response of cyanobacteria to changes in the atmospheric forcing fields as a result of life-cycle related feedback mechanisms. Overall, the sensitivity of the cyanobacteria-driven system suggests that biological-physical and life-cycle related feedback mechanisms are important and must therefore be included in future projection studies.  相似文献   

Eocene age of eclogite metamorphism in Pakistan Himalaya: implications for India-Eurasia collision     

Sonia Tonarini  Igor M. Villa  Felix Oberli  Martin Meier  David A. Spencer  Ugo Pognante  John G. Ramsay 《地学学报》1993,5(1):13-20

A geochronological investigation of two rocks with an eclogitic assemblage (omphacite-garnet-quartz-rutile) from the High Himalaya using the Sm/Nd, Rb/Sr, U/Pb and Ar/Ar methods is presented here. The first three methods outline a cooling history from the time of peak metamorphism at 49±6 Ma recorded by Sm/Nd in garnet-clinopyroxene to the closure of Rb/Sr in phengite at 43±1 Ma and U/Pb in rutile at 39–40 Ma. The Sm/Nd isotopic system was fully equilibrated during eclogitization and has not been disturbed since; its mineral ages may date the peak metamorphic conditions (650±50°C at 13–18 kbar: Pognante and Spencer, 1991). The Ar/Ar data reveal the presence of substantial amounts of excess ⁴⁰Ar in hornblende, and yield a statistically acceptable but geologically meaningless phengite plateau age of 81.4±0.2 Ma, inconsistent with Sm/Nd, Rb/Sr and U/Pb. This questions the use of such a chronometer for the dating of high-pressure assemblages. The results imply a Late Palaeocene or Early Eocene subduction of the northern Indian plate margin in NW Himalaya. The fact that eclogites are restricted to NW Himalaya may be the result of a peculiar p-T-t path associated with a high convergence rate during the first indentation, in contrast to the later and slow subduction in Central and Eastern Himalaya.  相似文献   

Observations of far and extreme ultraviolet OI emissions in tropical ionosphere     

D.E. Anderson  R.R. Meier  C.S. Weller 《Planetary and Space Science》1976,24(10):945-950

The first observations of equatorial ionospheric emissions in the 800–1050 Å spectral region have been made from the STP 72-1 satellite. Analysis of these data and comparison with data taken simultaneously in the 1220–1400 Å wavelength range indicate a strong correlation between these emissions, as well as a pronounced dependence on season and dip latitude. Both nadir data and spin data are presented, and analyses of spin data indicate latitudinal variations of the F₂ peak altitude. Theoretical calculations of emission in the 800–1050 Å spectral region show that the data are consistent with radiative recombination of O⁺ as a source of the observed emissions.  相似文献
