Variation in the composition of Lake Bonneville marl: a potential key to lake-level fluctuations and paleoclimate     

Charles G. Oviatt  Geoff D. Habiger  James E. Hay 《Journal of Paleolimnology》1994,11(1):19-30

Lake Bonneville marl provides a stratigraphic record of lake history preserved in its carbonate minerals and stable isotopes. We have analyzed the marl in shallow cores taken at three localities in the Bonneville basin. Chronology for the cores is provided by dated volcanic ashes, ostracode biostratigraphy, and a distinctive lithologic unit believed to have been deposited during and immediately after the Bonneville Flood.A core taken at Monument Point at the north shore of Great Salt Lake encompasses virtually the entire Bonneville lake cycle, including the 26.5 ka Thiokol basaltic ash at the base and deposits representing the overflowing stage at the Provo shoreline at the top of the core. Two cores from the Old River Bed area near the threshold between the Sevier basin and the Great Salt Lake basin (the main body of Lake Bonneville) represent deposition from the end of the Stansbury oscillation ( 20 ka) to post-Provo time ( 13 ka), and one core from near Sunstone Knoll in the Sevier basin provides a nearly complete record of the period when Lake Bonneville flooded the Sevier basin (20–13 ka).In all cores, percent calcium carbonate, the aragonite to calcite ratio, and percent sand were measured at approximately 2-cm intervals, and ¹⁸O and ¹³C were determined in one core from the Old River Bed area. The transgressive period from about 20 ka to 15 ka is represented in all cores, but the general trends and the details of the records are different, probably as a result of water chemistry and water balance differences between the main body and the Sevier basin because they were fed by different rivers and had different hypsometries. The Old River Bed marl sections are intermediate in position and composition between the Monument Point and Sunstone Knoll sections. Variations in marl composition at the Old River Bed, which are correlated with lake-level changes, were probably caused by changes in the relative proportions of water from the two basins, which were caused by shifts in water balance in the lake.This is the second paper in a series of papers published in this issue on Climatic and Tectonic Rhythms in Lake Deposits.  相似文献   

A comparison of three image-object methods for the multiscale analysis of landscape structure   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Geoffrey J. Hay  Thomas Blaschke  Danielle J. Marceau  Andr Bouchard 《ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing》2003,57(5-6):327

Within the conceptual framework of Complex Systems, we discuss the importance and challenges in extracting and linking multiscale objects from high-resolution remote sensing imagery to improve the monitoring, modeling and management of complex landscapes. In particular, we emphasize that remote sensing data are a particular case of the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) and describe how image-objects provide a way to reduce this problem. We then hypothesize that multiscale analysis should be guided by the intrinsic scale of the dominant landscape objects composing a scene and describe three different multiscale image-processing techniques with the potential to achieve this. Each of these techniques, i.e., Fractal Net Evolution Approach (FNEA), Linear Scale-Space and Blob-Feature Detection (SS), and Multiscale Object-Specific Analysis (MOSA), facilitates the multiscale pattern analysis, exploration and hierarchical linking of image-objects based on methods that derive spatially explicit multiscale contextual information from a single resolution of remote sensing imagery. We then outline the weaknesses and strengths of each technique and provide strategies for their improvement.  相似文献   

(Hetero)sexing Space: Gay Men and “Straight” Space in Adelaide,South Australia     

Stewart Kirby  Iain Hay 《The Professional geographer》1997,49(3):295-305

This paper examines gay men's perceptions and experiences of everyday places in Adelaide, South Australia. It illustrates the nature of social space as a heterosexual artifact. The paper also outlines ways in which gay men may contribute to the heterosexualization of space. Many gay men monitor the public and private roles they play for fear of the consequences of “discovery,” and through self-policing and restricted behaviors they may contribute to the spatial supremacy of heterosexuality. Acts of nondisclosure and the adoption of straight sexual facades constrain gay men's social and spatial lives.  相似文献

Why Edit a Journal? Academic Irony and Paradox     

Iain Hay 《The Professional geographer》2016,68(1):159-165

Although journal editing is central to scholarly enterprise, helping to maintain academic standards and shape disciplines, it is frequently discouraged within the academic assemblages that depend on it. Following recent contributions by geographers to discussions on academic service such as book editing and reviewing, this article explores some ironies and paradoxes of journal editing. It first discusses the challenges of journal editing as well as its problematic place in “academic capitalism.” It then examines professional and personal rewards of journal editing. Despite strong disincentives, journal editing offers valuable opportunities for self-development and deepening professional networks, as well as for refining the discipline.  相似文献

Petrology of palagonite tuffs of Koko Craters,Oahu, Hawaii     

Richard L. Hay  A. Iijima 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1968,17(2):141-154

Tuff deposits of the Koko Crater group consist largely of alkali basalt glass, either fresh or palagonitized. Most of the deposits are progressively palagonitized at depth, and topographic relations of palagonite on Koko Crater indicate that the palagonite was formed after the cone had been deeply eroded.The principal authigenic minerals in the palagonite tuffs were deposited in following sequence: phillipsite, chabazite, analcime, montmorillonite together with opal, and calcite. The amount of authigenic minerals in a given sample is generally proportional to the amount of palagonite, indicating that the authigenic minerals are produced in palagonitization of glass.Chemical analyses of sideromelane and associated palagonite by the electron microprobe show that about a quarter of the SiO₂, half of the Al₂O₃ and MgO, and three quarters or more of the CaO, Na₂O, and K₂O are lost in converting sideromelane to an equal volume of palagonite. A substantial proportion of these components lost from the sideromelane are precipitated nearby in zeolites, montmorillonite, opal, and calcite.Reaction of sideromelane with percolating ground water at low temperatures accounts for the vertical zoning from relatively fresh tuffs down into palagonite tuffs. The pH and ionic strength of percolating water probably increased with depth by solution and hydrolysis of glass, and where the pH and ionic strength became sufficiently high, the glass reacted to form palagonite and zeolites. Palagonite was formed by a microsolution-precipitation mechanism rather than by hydration or devitrification.  相似文献   

BEEKEEPING AND LOCAL SELF-RELIANCE IN RURAL SOUTHERN AFRICA*     

Pete M. Illgner  Etienne L. Nel  Mark P. Robertson 《Geographical review》1998,88(3):349-362

ABSTRACT. Beekeeping has the potential to supplement incomes in rural southern Africa. In light of regional economic constraints, self-reliance strategies that draw on local knowledge and skills take on a renewed importance. We consider the advantages and disadvantages of beekeeping and examine appropriate forms of development support. A short case study from Zimbabwe illustrates these issues.  相似文献
