Heavy metal pollution in the Black Sea shore and offshore of Turkey

Land-locked seas were polluted mainly by land-based pollutants. The Black Sea is the largest enclosed sea in the world and widely perceived to be heavily polluted. In order to determine the impact of marine activities on heavy metal pollution, shore (500 m distance from edge)–offshore (5,555 m distance from edge) samples of various stations through the Sinop, Samsun and Ordu cities located in the Middle Black Sea region between May 2000 and October 2001 were taken. In addition, samples were taken between April–May 2000 in order to designate the heavy metal pollution of certain rivers, streams, harbor and shores in Samsun’s boundary and 32 sampling stations for the routine pollution monitoring studies are selected including rivers, streams, industrial and domestic discharge points along the Black Sea coast of Turkey in the year 1996. Heavy metal concentrations of whole samples were measured and compared with “Quality Criteria of General Marine and Continental Inside Water Sources” currently effective in Turkey so as to bring up the levels of pollution in marine, rivers and streams.     

Spatial and temporal pattern of precipitation and drought in Gansu Province, Northwest China

Drought is one of the most harmful natural hazards in Gansu Province in Northwest China. The changes of precipitation affect the severity of drought. In order to recognize the trend of precipitation and understand the effect of rainfall change on water resources management and drought severity, Mann–Kendall test was used. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was calculated to reconstruct the drought at different time scales and analyze the frequency of drought occurrence in the recent 50 years. The results show that the SPI is applicable in Gansu Province. The number of severe droughts differs among regions: it is more obvious as a 3-month drought in the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin than in the Inland River Basin, and other droughts at 6-, 9-, and 12-month time scales have the same effect in the three regions. Mann–Kendall test results show that there is an upward trend in the summer periods and a downward trend in the autumn-winter-spring intervals ranging from 10.5 mm/10 years to −37.4 mm/10 years, which affect the local water resources management, droughts mitigation, and agriculture decision making. This situation poses challenges for future study.     

晚第四纪印度洋-太平洋交汇区降水时空演化

印度洋-太平洋交汇区(印太交汇区)作为全球的水汽和热量中心,在多种时间尺度的气候变化中都扮演着重要的角色。然而,迄今该区域晚第四纪古降水时空演化仍不清楚,主要体现在不同区域或不同指标的降水重建结果出现明显不一致、甚至相反的现象。本研究基于印太交汇区已有重建记录,总结了该区域轨道和千年时间尺度上古降水演化特征及机制。在轨道时间尺度上,尽管该区域大多数降水记录都主要受到岁差主控的日射量变化影响,但其响应的相位关系却截然不同,推测是多种气候因子共同作用的结果。在千年时间尺度上,降水变化主要受控于北大西洋千年时间尺度气候突变事件导致的热带辐合带(ITCZ)迁移;其次,厄尔尼诺与南方涛动(ENSO)以及印度洋偶极子(IOD)的活动也对该地区局部降水有所贡献。另外,苏拉威西等印太交汇区中部区域的降水受到海平面变化的显著影响。总体来看,印太交汇区古降水记录仍存在重建指标单一、部分区域缺乏高分辨率记录等问题,降水空间分布及其变化机制也尚不明朗,需更多的高分辨率古降水重建以及模拟工作的开展去全方面阐明印太交汇区降水的时空演化特征及机制。

     

Climatic and tectonic events controlling the Quaternary in the Black Sea Region

The Quaternary geology of the Black Sea — Caspi region is reconstructed in a sequential series of maps. Over the past 400 000 years the total subsidence in the former shallow basins can be as high as 3 km, resulting in the Black Sea and Caspian deep basins of today with water depths ofca. 2000 and 1000 m, respectively. In relation to such dimensions, eustatic sea level changes have only a minor impact on bathymetry.

Zusammenfassung Die tektonische und paläogeographische Entwicklung im Schwarzmeer — Kaspi Gebiet während des Quartärs ist in einer zeitlich gestaffelten Serie von Karten dargestellt und erläutert. Absenkungen bis zu 3 km haben im Verlauf der letzten 400 000 Jahre aus altquartären Flachmeerbecken das heutige Schwarze und Kaspische Meer mit Wassertiefen von ca. 2000 bzw. 1000 m geprägt. Gemessen an dieser Größe sind die durch eustatische Meeresspiegelschwankungen verursachten Veränderungen der Bathymetrie unbedeutend.

Résumé La géologie quaternaire de la région Mer Noire — Caspienne a été représentée dans une série de cartes successives; depuis 400 000 ans l'affaissement total dans ces bassins, à l'origine peu profonds, est important: jusqu'à 3 km. En conséquence, les bassins des Mers Noire et Caspienne sont profonds, avec des bathymétries d'environ 2000 et 1000 m respectivement. En comparaison, les variations eustatiques d'ordre climatique sont mineures.

Spatial and temporal variations in the incidence of dust events over Iran

Large near-field tsunamis pose a significant threat to the Canadian West Coast due to its proximity to the circum-Pacific belt where a significant tsunami-inducing earthquake event from the Cascadia subduction zone is expected. This study investigated the risks associated with such an event in terms of pedestrian evacuation needs and plans for the Town of Tofino, a small community located on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. The population-at-risk within the hazard zone and its ability to evacuate to safety is evaluated using anisotropic path-distance modelling. Mitigation measures, such as vertical evacuation buildings, are quantitatively evaluated. Site-specific inundation modelling was not performed as part of this study; tsunami hazard and safe zones were computed using a range of run-ups varying between 3 and 25 m. It was established that up to 80% of the population is within the maximum hazard zone considered. This evacuation modelling exercise indicates that a maximum of 13% of the population would have insufficient time to reach safety when using a mobility-impaired ambulatory speed. The use of three vertical evacuation buildings can reduce the risk of losing population in this category by 99%. Although some conservative assumptions were used (vertical datum at higher high water, reductions in safe zones by generalization process and mobility-impaired evacuation speeds), the evacuation potential is likely overestimated due to the coarseness of the topographic data used in the evacuation modelling and from an overestimated first wave arrival time. This is the first Canadian study which used anisotropic evacuation modelling to evaluate the vulnerability of a Canadian community to tsunami inundation.

     

Use of fuzzy relations to produce landslide susceptibility map of a landslide prone area (West Black Sea Region, Turkey)

Preparation of landslide susceptibility maps is important for engineering geologists and geomorphologists. However, due to complex nature of landslides, producing a reliable susceptibility map is not easy. For this reason, many procedures have been used to produce such maps. In this study, a new attempt is tried to produce landslide susceptibility map of a part of West Black Sea Region of Turkey. To obtain the fuzzy relations for producing the susceptibility map, a landslide inventory database is compiled by both field surveys and airphoto studies. A total of 266 landslides are identified in the study area, and dominant mode of failure is rotational slide while the other mode of failures are soil flow and shallow translational slide. The landslide inventory and the parameter maps are analyzed together using a computer program (FULLSA) developed in this study. The computer program utilizes the fuzzy relations and produces the landslide susceptibility map automatically. According to this map, 9.6% of the study area is classified as very high susceptibility, 10.3% as high susceptibility, 8.9% as moderate susceptibility, 27.5% as low susceptibility and 43.8% as very low susceptibility or nonsusceptible areas. The prediction performance of the susceptibility map is checked by considering actual landslides in the study area. For this purpose, strength of the relation (r_ij) and the root mean square error (RMSE) values are calculated as 0.867 and 0.284, respectively. These values show that the produced landslide susceptibility map in the present study has a sufficient reliability. It is believed that the approach employed in this study mainly prevents the subjectivity sourced from the parameter selection and provides a support to improve the landslide susceptibility mapping studies.     

Chronology of the Black Sea over the last 25,000 years

Deep-water sediments of the Black Sea deposited during Late Pleistocene and Holocene time are distinguished by three sedimentary units: (1) a microlaminated coccolith ooze mainly consisting of Emiliania huxleyi; (2) a sapropel; and (3) a banded lutite. The base of the first unit lies at 3,000 years B.P., that of the second at 7,000 years B.P., and that of the third at least at about 25,000 years B.P. Fossils and geochemical criteria are used to decipher the environmental events of this time period. Beginning with the base of the section dated at about 25,000 years B.P. we witness the final stage of metamorphosis from anoxic marine to oxic freshwater conditions. By the time this stage ended, about 22,000 years B.P., the Black Sea had become a truly freshwater habitat. The lake phase lasted about 12,000 to 13,000 years. Sedimentation rates were in the order of 1 m/10³ years, but began to decrease as sea level rose during the last 5,000 years of this phase (9,000–15,000 years B.P.). Starting at about 9,000 years B.P. and continuing to 7,000 years B.P., Mediterranean waters occasionally spilled over the Bosporus as a consequence of ice retreat and sea level rise. This marked the beginning of a gradual shift from freshwater to marine, and from well aerated to stagnant conditions. At about 7,000 years B.P. when deposition of unit 2 started, the H₂S zone was well established. Sedimentation rates dropped to 10 cm/10³ years. Environmental conditions similar to those of today finally became established around 3,000 years B.P., almost exactly the time when Jason and the Argonauts sailed through the Bosporus in search of the Golden Fleece.     

Calcareous Nannoplankton Biostratigraphy of the Bartin Province,Western Black Sea,Turkey

Calcareous nannoplankton biostratigraphy has been performed on five sedimentary sections through the marine Akveren Formation from the Bartin region of northern Turkey, on the southern Black Sea coast. This new biostratigraphy provides an age for the formation of the Early Campanian (nannofossil zone UC15aTP) to Early Selandian (nannofossil zone NP5), and highlights the presence of the Campanian/Maastrichtian, Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T), and Danian/Selandian boundaries in this intermediate palaeolatitude location. Micula murus was identified below the K/T boundary, but Micula prinsii and Nephrolithus frequens were not, which implies that the K/T boundary interval is not complete in the study area. These dates are in agreement with previous micropaleontological studies.     

Heavy metal contamination of soils and tea plants in the eastern Black Sea region,NE Turkey

The study area covers two geologically different regions which have intensively been carpeted by tea plants in the eastern Black Sea. The rocks exposed in the region contain considerable amount of trace metals due to Upper Cretaceous massive sulfide formations and tertiary epithermal mineralizations. Tea plants that grow in soils derived from such mineralized rocks contain different concentrations of Cu, Pb, Zn, Fe, Cd, P, Al, Na, K, and S. The content ratios of most of the analyzed elements except Al are higher in basaltic and sedimentary rocks. To describe the transfer of metals from soil to tea leaf, the Freundlich-type model (log c _plant = ac _soil + log b) is used. The metal concentrations in leaves of tea plant in the studied soils are ranked as Zn > Cu > Pb > Al > Cd > Fe. The capacity of the plant to affect the metal accumulation decreased as follows: Fe > Cd > Pb > Cu > Zn > Al. Negative correlations were found between pH and availability of Cu, Pb, Zn, Mn, and Al elements by the tea plant. Experimental applications indicated that tea plant leaves growing on soils with high metal contents show some signs of toxicity. In soils where, particularly, ammonium sulfate fertilizer is used, metal uptake by the tea plant was found to be significantly higher as a result of extremely acidic character of the soil.     

中国降水同位素信息熵时空分布及其水汽输送示踪

研究水汽输送过程有助于更好地理解极端降水发生过程。但是,降水系统的复杂性和降水同位素的随机性使得利用降水同位素示踪水汽输送过程具有较大的不确定性。利用信息熵研究了中国降水同位素组成概率分布特征,发现降水氢氧同位素信息熵之间呈现很强的线性关系,且斜率近似为1;对比分析了降水同位素信息熵和其平均值的时空分布特征,发现降水同位素信息熵空间分布可以很好地揭示水汽由海洋向大陆的运移过程,而这一特征并没有反映在降水同位素平均值空间分布上;利用降水同位素信息熵对影响中国的由季风形成的3条水汽通道进行了示踪分析,发现降水同位素信息熵空间分布很好地指示出3条水汽通道的水汽来源和水汽运移路径及其季节变化。     

A long-term analysis of thundersnow events over the Marmara Region,Turkey

This study aimed to reveal the temporal statistics, formation mechanisms, suitable land/sea surface (LS/SS) and upper-level atmospheric conditions, and predictability of thundersnow (TSSN) events that occurred between 2000 and 2021 in the Marmara Region with atmospheric stability indexes. Aviation reports from 11 airports were analyzed throughout the period, and no TSSN events were found at four airports. A total of 19 TSSN events were identified, and six events were found in 2015, when the sea-effect snow (SES) mechanisms were observed four times. The majority of TSSN events were of very short duration (0–1 h), and no significant trend was observed in terms of intraday distribution. SES mechanism was observed in 17 of the 19 TSSN events, and the dominance of northern flows was detected at all airports and at the sub-inversion upstream levels. In terms of air-sea interaction, suitable temperature differences between the SS and 850/700 hPa (17 °C and 27 °C on average), and the transfer of heat-moisture fluxes from the SS to the upper-atmosphere were possible in almost all TSSN events. In this way, meteorological parameters were sufficient for the formation and strengthening of the convective layer. In addition, the presence of directional wind shear and the observation of inversion layers restricting convective movements at higher levels instead of near the surface ensured that the moisture requirement, lifting mechanism, and unstable atmospheric conditions required for the formation of TS were provided. The CAPE values were very low for winter TSs. Total Total Index and TQ Index produced the most appropriate results for TSSN prediction.

Selective extraction techniques in exploration for volcanogenic sulphide deposits, Eastern Black Sea region, Turkey

Selective extraction techniques employing 0.05 M EDTA, 1 M hydroxylamine hydrochloride (Hxl) in acetic acid and 0.157 M ammonium oxalate in oxalic acid were used to assess the mode of occurrence of the trace elements in the various geochemical sample media and to increase the anomaly contrast over the concealed massive ore bodies in the the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey.In hematitized pumice tuffs, an exhalate horizon overlying the Madenköy massive sulphide ore body, the trace elements such as As, Cu, Zn, Pb and Mo are partly associated with sulphides and partly occur in clays, and Fe- and Mn-oxides.The extraction data on stream sediments suggest that a hot nitric acid attack is the best digestion procedure for detecting mechanical dispersion trains in regional geochemical programmes. Comparison of the extractabilities of metals in soils from mineralized areas with those from the background Sirtköy soils by the different extraction procedures demonstrates that EDTA, and to lesser extent Hxl are the best extraction procedures for increasing the anomaly/background ratio. These two extraction procedures were found to also enhance Zn and Pb anomalies over the cover rocks of the Madenköy massive ore body relative to the largely exposed stockwork-impregnation zones.Among the EDTA, Hxl and ammonium oxalate extractions, only the last procedure extracted considerable amounts of As from the soil samples. Vapor-phase analysis suggests that mercury occurs mainly in sulphide form which is leachable only by ammonium oxalate solution that also leaches adsorbed mercury. The EDTA and the Hxl solutions only extracted adsorbed mercury. These three extractants have no effect on either mercuric oxide or mercuric sulphate. Arsenic, a very useful pathfinder in this region, can only be partly extracted from the pumice tuff and soil samples by ammonium oxalate solution.

Spatial and temporal distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in finegrained sediments of the East China Sea

The nearshore mud area along the Changjiang （Yangtze River） estuary and the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, and the distal mud area to the southeast of Cheju Island, Korea are the modem accumulative centers, thus, being the ＂sinks＂ of pollutants such as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons （PAHs） in the East China Sea （ECS）. PAHs of surface sediment samples from the mud areas of the ECS and a ^210Pb dating sediment core collected using a gravity core from the coastal mud area in the ECS were quantified by GC/MSD with the internal standard materials.
