Dahmani,a highly oxidised LL6 chondrite bearing Ni-rich taenite     

M. Christophe Michel-Levy  M. Bourot Denise 《Meteoritics & planetary science》1992,27(2):184-185

Abstract Dahmani is a shocked LL6 fragmental breccia. According to the composition of the silicates (olivine Fa_30,32.6, orthopyroxene Fs_24.5–26.3) and of the metal (a 60% Ni taenite) it is one of the most oxidised known.  相似文献   

Sediment flux from a fjord during glacial periods, Isfjorden, Spitsbergen     

Roger LeB. Hooke  Anders Elverhi 《Global and Planetary Change》1996,12(1-4)

Sediment has accumulated in Isfjorden, a deep fjord in Spitsbergen, at a rate of 1.7 km³/k.y. during the past 13 k.y. Between 200 ka and 13 ka the fjord was free of ice for 120 k.y. Assuming a similar sediment delivery rate during this ice-free time, 200 km³ of sediment would have accumulated in the fjord. An alternative calculation based on erosion rates suggests that 400 km³ could have been delivered to Isfjorden during this 120 k.y.Seismic studies have identified a 330 km³ package of sediment on the continental shelf and slope west of Isfjorden. This sediment is believed to have accumulated between 200 ka and 13 ka. Herein we argue that this is sediment that was originally deposited in the fjord, and that it was transferred to the shelf by glaciers in the 70 ka during which the fjord was occupied by ice. Calculations using a steady-state numerical model suggest that the sediment could have been moved in a deforming layer of subglacial till and in subglacial melt streams at rates of 7.6 × 10⁶ m³ a⁻¹ and 0.3 × 10⁶ m³ a⁻¹, respectively, resulting in a total flux of 7.9 × 10⁶ m³ a⁻¹. It is unlikely that much sediment was moved in a basal layer of dirty ice, as intense basal melting would have inhibited sediment entrainment.Of the time that glaciers occupied the fjord, 60% would have been required to evacuate the accumulated sediment. During the remaining time, the ice could have been deepening the fjord.  相似文献   

What controls dead-ice melting under different climate conditions? A discussion     

Anders Schomacker   《Earth》2008,90(3-4):103-113

In the geological record, hummocky dead-ice moraines represent the final product of the melt-out of dead-ice. Processes and rates of dead-ice melting in ice-cored moraines and at debris-covered glaciers are commonly believed to be governed by climate and debris-cover properties. Here, backwasting rates from 14 dead-ice areas are assessed in relation to mean annual air temperature, mean summer air temperature, mean annual precipitation, mean summer precipitation, and annual sum of positive degree days. The highest correlation was found between backwasting rate and mean annual air temperature. However, the correlation between melt rates and climate parameters is low, stressing that processes and topography play a major role in governing the rates of backwasting. The rates of backwasting from modern glacial environments should serve as input to de-icing models for ancient dead-ice areas in order to assess the mode and duration of deposition.A challenge for future explorations of dead-ice environments is to obtain long-term records of field-based monitoring of melt progression. Furthermore, many modern satellite-borne sensors have high potentials for recordings of multi-temporal Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) for detection and quantification of changes in dead-ice environments. In recent years, high-accuracy DEMs from airborne laser scanning altimetry (LiDAR) are emerging as an additional data source. However, time series of high-resolution aerial photographs remain essential for both visual inspection and high-resolution stereographic DEM production.  相似文献

Mediterranean deep-sea amphipods: composition, structure and affinities of the fauna     

Denise Bellan-Santini 《Progress in Oceanography》1990,24(1-4)

The recent revision of the Mediterranean amphipod fauna includes 415 species (i.e. 8% of the worldwide fauna). The number of endemic species is estimated to be about 190 (i.e. 46% of the total fauna).The deep-sea fauna, which includes all those species inhabiting depths >150m, comprises 154 species (37.1% of the total fauna), belonging to 89 genera and 25 families. 84 of these species inhabited depths down to 400m, 47 down to 1000m, and 31 to depths >2000m. Considering the upper limits to their bathymetric ranges, 49 species are restricted to depths >150m, 15 to >400m, 9 to >1000m and just 5 to depths >2000m. 62.9% of the gammaridean fauna is restricted to the continental shelf at depths shallower than 150m. Only 11.3% of this fauna inhabits depths >1000m. and only 2.2% is restricted to these deeper depths.The composition of this deep-living fauna has complex zoogeographical relationships. There are four main categories of species: eurybathic, Atlantico-Mediterranean bathyal, endemic bathyal and endemic abyssal species.The deep-living species include 71 (46%) which are endemic. There are also 71 species which zoogeographically are Atlantico-Mediterranean, 4 which are cosmopolitan, 5 Atlantico-Pacifico-Mediterranean, one Indo-Atlantico-Mediterranean and one Pacifico-Mediterranean. The 71 endemic species belonging to 52 genera. Three of these genera are endemic and five others were previously known only as Indo-Pacific.The presence of bathyal endemic species belonging to bathyal genera, and the affinity of some other species otherwise occurring only in the Indo-Pacific, confirms that a Tethyan component persists in the amphipod fauna, and indicates that during the Messinian Crisis the Mediterranean did not completely dry up. Thus a relict amphipod fauna was able to survive in some of the residual basins.  相似文献   

Responses of a Mediterranean soft bottom community to short-term (1993-1996) hydrological changes in the Rhone river   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Salen-Picard C  Arlhac D  Alliot E 《Marine environmental research》2003,55(5):409-427

The polychaete fauna of muddy bottoms off the Rhone delta (NW Mediterranean) was seasonally sampled at two sites at 70 m depth, from 1993 to 1996. During this period, five severe flood events occurred. A clustering analysis (distance coefficient of Whittaker) and three way fixed factor ANOVAs (site x season x year) showed strong year-to-year changes in species density and community structure, changes that masked seasonal variations. Total density increased by a factor of 3 and density of most species significantly increased following the first flooding event. Changes in the community structure were due to the successive dominance of a few species. The opportunistic species, such as Cossura sp., Mediomastus sp. and Polycirrus sp., exhibited peaks in density 1-3 months after the flood. These peaks were followed by a drastic decline. For species with a long life span, such as Sternaspis scutata, a slower but continuous increase in density was observed which was maintained for several months. The density fluctuations of these species exhibited a good correlation with river flow with time lags of 1-2 years. The successional dynamics observed are explained according to the geographical origin of the floods and the biology and feeding ecology of species.  相似文献

Comparative tolerance of two estuarine annelids to fluoranthene under normoxic and moderately hypoxic conditions     

Weinstein JE  Sanger DM 《Marine environmental research》2003,56(5):637-648

The tolerance of the oligochaete Monopylephorus rubroniveus and the polychaete Streblospio benedicti to sediment-associated fluoranthene was characterized under normoxic (>80% dissolved oxygen saturation) and moderately hypoxic ( approximately 50% dissolved oxygen saturation) conditions. Under both conditions, M. rubroniveus was highly tolerant of fluoranthene. Streblospio benedicti was considerably less tolerant of fluoranthene compared with M. rubroniveus. In addition, S. benedicti was less tolerant to fluoranthene under moderately hypoxic conditions, although no differences in sensitivity between the two oxygen conditions were observed based upon median lethal tissue residues. Bioaccumulation factors were higher for S. benedicti exposed to moderate hypoxia, suggesting that behavioral adaptations to compensate for the lower dissolved oxygen increased its bioaccumulation of fluoranthene. The results of the present laboratory study demonstrate that (1). changes in annelid tolerance to fluoranthene under varying oxygen conditions is a species-dependent phenomenon and (2). the differential tolerance of these two annelids to these combined stressors is consistent with their relative abundances in the field.  相似文献
