The depth-related content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and heavy metals was determined for two soil profiles (i.e. one Fluvisol and one Gleyic Cambisol) which developed in sediments from floodplains located at an old meander of the Rhine river. The meander had been cut off from the main river in 1829. The separation of the meander from the main river caused a change in sediment deposition (i.e. from sand to silt) which is clearly visible in the soil-profiles. Since that time, approximately 100 cm of sediments have accumulated due to temporary flooding of the area. Each soil profile was separated into 18 samples. The samples were analysed for their content of PAH after solvent extraction. Additionally, several trace elements (Co, Ni, Cd, Pb, Zn, Cr and Cu) were determined in the same sample set, and depth-related concentration profiles for both PAH and trace elements were developed. The distribution patterns of PAH with more than 3 condensed rings did not provide any evidence for PAH biodegradation or vertical transport after deposition of the sediments. Thus, in the case of PAH, the historical record can be derived not only from subhydric sediments but also from floodplain sediments. It was not possible to distinguish between atmospheric and fluvial input of PAH into the sediments from the observed distribution patterns due to the same origin of PAH from pyrolytic processes. A source determination of the PAH was not possible except for perylene, for which biogenic formation can be assumed. A comparison of the results shows that the depth-related PAH and trace element concentrations display similar trends over most of the total profiles. In the uppermost section of the profiles, the concentration of most trace elements declines whereas the PAH concentration remains high. This indicates the presence of different sources for PAH and trace elements in the last decades. 相似文献

Of the terrestrial planets, Earth and probably Mercury possess substantial intrinsic magnetic fields generated by core dynamos, while Venus and Mars apparently lack such fields. Thermal histories are calculated for these planets and are found to admit several possible present states, including those which suggest simple explanations for the observations; whule the cores of Earth and Mercury are continuing to freeze, the cores of Venus and Mars may still be completely liquid. The models assume whole mantle convection, which is parameterized by a simple Nusselt-Rayleigh number relation and dictates the rate at which heat escapes from the core. It is found that completely fluid cores, devoid of intrinsic heat sources, are not likely to sustain thermal convection for the age of the solar system but cool to a subadiabatic, conductive state that can not maintain a dynamo. Planets which nucleate an inner core continue to sustain a dynamo because of the gravitational energy release and chemically driven convection that accompany inner core growth. The absence of a significant inner core can arise in Venus because of its slightly higher temperature and lower central pressure relative to Earth, while a Martian core avoids the onset of freezing if the abundance of sulfur in the core is ?15% by mass. All of the models presented assume that (I) core dynamos are driven by thermal and/or chemical convection; (ii) radiogenic heat production is confined to the mantle; (iii) mantle and core cool from initially hot states which are at the solidus and superliquidus, respectively; and (iv) any inner core excludes the light alloying material (sulfur or oxygen) which then mixes uniformly upward through the outer core. The models include realistic pressure and composition-dependent freezing curves for the core, and material parameters are chosen so that the correct present-day values of heat outflow, upper mantle temperature and viscosity, and inner core radius are obtained for the earth. It is found that Venus and Mars may have once had dynamos maintained by thermal convection alone. Earth may have had a completely fluid core and a dynamo maintained by thermal convection for the first 2 to 3 by, but an inner core nucleates and the dynamo energetics are subsequently dominated by gravitational energy release. Complete freezing of the Mercurian core is prohibited if it contains even a small amount of sulfur, and a dynamo can be maintained by chemical convection in a thin, fluid shell. 相似文献

Data from the recent gravity measurements by the Galileo mission are used to construct wide ranges of interior structure and composition models for the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. These models show that mantle densities of Io and Europa are consistent with an olivine-dominated mineralogy with the ratios of Mg to Fe components depending on mantle temperature for Io and on ice shell thickness for Europa. The mantle density and composition depend relatively little on core composition. The size of the core is largely determined by the core's composition with core radius increasing with the concentration of a light component such as sulfur. For Io, the range of possible core sizes is between 38 and 53% of the satellite's radius. For Europa, there is also a substantial effect of the thickness of the ice layer which is varied between 120 and 170 km on the core size. Core sizes are between 10 and 45% of Europa's radius. The core size of Ganymede ranges between one-quarter and one-third of the surface radius depending on its sulfur content and the thickness of the ice shell. A subset of the Ganymede models is consistent with an olivine-dominated mantle mineralogy. The thickness of the silicate mantle above the core varies between 900 and 1100 km. The outermost ice shell is about 900 km in thickness and is further subdivided by pressure-induced phase transitions into ice I, ice III, ice V, and ice VI layers. Callisto should be differentiated, albeit incompletely. It is proposed that this satellite was never molten at a large scale but differentiated through the convective gradual unmixing of the ice and the metal/rock component. Bulk iron-to-silicon ratios Fe/Si calculated for the inner pair of satellites, Io and Europa, are less than the CI carbonaceous chondrite value of 1.7±0.1, whereas ratios for the outer pair, Ganymede and Callisto, cover a broad range above the chondritic value. Although the ratios are uncertain, in particular for Ganymede and Callisto, the values are sufficiently distinct to suggest a difference in composition between these two pairs of satellites. This may indicate a difference in iron-silicon fractionation during the formation of both classes of satellites in the protojovian nebula. 相似文献

A series of thermal conductivity measurements for various materials was performed in a large climate chamber. The size of
the chamber allowed the preparation of relatively large samples in a controlled thermal environment. Three types of thermal
sensors were used: (1) two needle probes; (2) a grid of temperature sensors, evenly distributed inside the sample; (3) two
additional thermal probes, which were simplified versions of an instrument originally developed for measuring thermal properties
of the ice/dust mixture expected to exist at the surface of a comet nucleus. They consist of a series of individual temperature
sensors integrated into a glass fibre rod. Each of these sensors can be operated in an active (heated) or passive (only temperature
sensing) mode. The following sample materials were used: fine-grained reddish sand, coarse-grained moist sand, gravels with
various grain size distributions from < 1 cm up to about 6 cm, and for comparison and calibration pure water (with convection
suppressed by adding agar-agar), compact ice, and compact granite. Of particular interest are the measurements with composite
samples, like stones embedded in an agar-agar matrix. We describe the evaluation methods and present the results of the thermal
conductivity measurements. 相似文献

Thermal history models for the mid-sized saturnian satellites Mimas, Tethys, Dione, Iapetus, and Rhea have been calculated assuming stagnant lid convection in undifferentiated satellites and varying parameter values over broad ranges. Of all five satellites under consideration, only Dione, Rhea and Iapetus do show significant internal activities related to convective overturn for extended periods of time. The interiors of Mimas and Tethys do not convect or do so only for brief periods of time early in their thermal histories. Although we use lower densities than previous models, our calculations suggest higher interior temperatures but also thicker rigid shells above the convecting regions. Temperatures in the stagnant lid will allow melting of ammonia-dihydrate. Dione, Rhea and Iapetus may differentiate early and form early oceans, Iapetus only if ammonia is present. Mimas and Tethys with ammonia may differentiate if they accreted in an optically thick nebula with ambient temperatures around 250 K. Our models suggest that the outer shells of the satellites are largely primordial in composition even if the satellites differentiated. In these cases the deep interior may be layered with a pure ice shell underlain by an ammonia dihydrate layer and a rock core. 相似文献

Recent investigations in and along the mountains south of the Loess Plateau (Central China) give no evidence of Pleistocene glaciations below 2800 m asl. Reliable Late-Pleistocene glacial landforms and till only occur in the Qinling Shan (3767 m). The paleosnowline in altitudes of 3250–3300 m was more than 1000 m lower than at present. A Late-Pleistocene periglacial region has been descended to about 2300 m asl, resulting an increase of the sediment yield of the rivers and intensified sediment aggradation in the valleys in and along the Qinling Shan. The Late-Pleistocene descend of the coniferous forest was comparable to the snowline depression. A spruce-fir forest dominated along the northern flank of the mountain range during the time 30-20 ka BP. Towards the end of the Pleistocene glacial periods respectively at the beginning of the following interglacial phase, dissection of alluvial deposits and terracing began in the mountain valleys and in the northern foreland. The replacement of forest vegetation by a more steppe-like vegetation as well as the loess accumulation along the northern Qinling Shan indicates increasing aridity as the climate warmed at the end of the last glacial period and during the Early Holocene. The widespread occurrence of Mid-Holocene paleosols within the loess proves a more moist and warm interval, which is followed by a drier and cooler Late Holocene period. 相似文献

It is widely believed that the explanation of orogenic volcanism lies in the shear heating and subsequent partial melting of the crustal fraction of subducted lithosphere. Careful examination of simple models of the shear-heating process indicates, however, that this process cannot occur in a system with constant strain-rate boundary conditions, for reasonable values of the strain rate and material parameters. Thermal runaway cannot occur because viscous dissipation process is limited by the effect of temperature on viscosity, although shear-heating instability may develop during non-steady-state shear at stress or strain-rate values above certain critical values. Examination of subduction history models indicates that supercritical shear stresses constant over some tens of kilometers may be found in subduction shear zones. Since instability may develop if such conditions are present over even a 1–10 km range, it is still possible that non-steady-state process could explain the origin of orogenic volcanism.
Zusammenfassung Schererwärmung bis zum partiellen Aufschmelzen der subduzierten Kruste wird vielfach als Ursache des orogenen Vulkanismus genannt. Eine sorgfältige Betrachtung eines einfachen Schererwämungsmodells führt zu folgenden Resultaten: Schererwärmung unter Vorgabe konstanter Dehnungsrate in der Scherzone führt zu allmählicher Erwärmung, wobei die Temperatur unter der Solidusgrenze bleibt, sofern man vernünftige Werte der Modellparameter wählt. Die Temperaturerhöhung bleibt in diesem Fall beschränkt durch die Rückkopplung von Temperatur und Viskosität. Schererwärmungsinstabilitäten, die zu partiellem Aufschmelzen führen, sind möglich, sofern bei nicht-stationärer Schererwärmung die Scherspannung oder die Dehnungsrate gewisse kritische Werte übersteigen. Es wird gezeigt, daß die Annahme superkritischer und konstanter Scherspannung entlang von 1–10 km langen Wegstücken der subduzierten Kruste mit Beobachtungen und Modellrechnungen verträglich ist. In diesem Fall können Scherinstabilitäten in einer Tiefe von 100 km bis 200 km in der subduzierten Kruste auftreten.
Résumé On croit couramment que l'explication du volcanisme orogénique se trouve dans l'échauffement causé pai les tensions d'arrachement et dans la fusion partielle consécutive de la fraction crustale de la lithosphere en voie de subduction. Une considération soigneuse d'un modèle simple d'échauffement par tensions conduit aux résultats suivants: un échauffement sous de telles tensions et dans des conditions avantageuses d'un degré d'extension constant dans la zone de cisaillement conduit à un échauffement par broyage où la température reste maintenue en-dessous de la limite du solidus pour autant qu'on choisisse des valeurs raisonables pour les paramètres du modèle. L'élévation de température reste dans ce cas limitée par le couple température-viscosité. Les instabilités par échauffement sous tension qui conduisent à la mise en fusion partielle, sont possibles pour autant que, sous un échauffement non stationnaire, le cisaillement ou le degré d'extension ne dépasse pas certaines valeurs critiques. On montre que l'adoption d'une tension de cisaillement supercritique et constante le long de tronçons de 1–10 km de la croûte en voie de subduction est compatible avec les observations et avec les calculs déduits du modèle. Dans ce cas des instabilités sous l'effet du cisaillement peuvent se produire dans la croûte en voie de subduction à une profondeur de 100 à 200 km.

The diffusion of electromagnetic fields is dependent not only on conductivity, but also on magnetic permeability, dielectric permittivity and polarizability, i.e. dispersive conductivity. The long‐offset transient electromagnetic (LOTEM) method is mainly used to determine the spatial distribution of conductivity in the subsurface. However, earlier work on loop‐loop TEM suggests that transient EM methods can also be affected by induced polarization (IP). Numerous 1D forward calculations were carried out to study the IP effect on LOTEM data, using the Cole‐Cole relaxation model to simulate the polarizability of the ground. Besides the polarizability of each layer, the IP effect depends on the LOTEM field set‐up and the spatial distribution of conductivity in the ground. In particular, near‐surface layers with high chargeabilities can significantly distort the late time transients of the electric field components in the vicinity of the transmitter. The influence of polarizable layers on the magnetic field components can be neglected under normal circumstances. In 1997 and 1999, LOTEM measurements were carried out at Mt. Vesuvius in Italy to explore the geological structure of the volcano. Sensitivity studies on the effect of polarizable layers suggest that high chargeabilities in connection with conductive layers at greater depths would result in a detectable distortion of the electric field transients. Although the simultaneous IP measurements revealed high chargeabilities in a near‐surface layer, no evidence of IP effects could be found in the measured LOTEM data. We conclude that the observed chargeabilities are local and that 3D effects are probably present in the data. Another aspect is the measurement of the system response, which is usually measured by placing a receiver very close to the transmitter. Therefore, large distortions can be expected if near‐surface polarizable layers exist. This was verified in practice by field measurements in an area with high chargeabilities in Longerich, Cologne. 相似文献
