Aridification — Climate change in South-Eastern Europe

Climatic change in SE Europe can be characterized by the term aridification, which means increasing semi-aridity, manifested in an increase of mean annual temperature and at the same time in a decrease in the yearly precipitation.The paper deals with research results obtained within the framework of the MEDALUS II project (funded by the Commission of the European Communities). The project had the following objectives:

• 1.(i) Assessment of the impact of global change on the climate of the investigated area, including possible future climates.
• 2.(ii) Physical processes of aridification, including studies of groundwater level change, soil moisture profile dynamics, soil development, vegetation change and soil erosion.
• 3.(iii) Land use change, involving research on present land use and suggestions for the future.

Various methods were applied with respect to the different research objectives.

• 1.(i) Statistical analysis of climatic oscillations and computer runs of climatic scenarios,
• 2.(ii) Analysis of ground water data, mapping and analysis of soils and vegetation, assessment of present and future soil, and
• 3.(iii) Land capability assessment through ranking environmental conditions according to the demands of the most widely grown arable crops in Hungary.

According to our results i) the average annual warming during the last 110 years was +0.0105 °C, and precipitation decreased by 0.917 mm/year; ii) a decline of −2 to −4 m in the annual mean groundwater level can be detected in the most sensitive areas, with gradual lowering of the water table in alkali ponds; complete desiccation of some of them severs the direct contact between groundwater and salt-affected soils, the solonchak soil dynamics cease, helophile and hygrophile plant associations disappear, and consequent changes in the soil erosion regime are likely to lead to disastrous erosion in the future; iii) the climatic changes induce a transformation in land use from arable crops to plantations, starting with orchards.     

Development of engineering geology in western United States

Geologic concepts and scientific-technical guidance for the planning-design and construction of engineered works was recognized in Europe by the 1800s and by the early 1900s in North America. This early geologic knowledge and experience provided the rudimentary principles that guided practitioners of the 19th century in serving the emerging projects in western United States. Case studies review the scientific-technical lessons learned and the legacy of geologic principles established in the planning and construction of major civil, mining, and military engineered works in the western states. These contributions to GeoScience knowledge and engineering geology practice include:

• •Tunnels and aqueducts across active fault zones, beneath young volcanic features, groundwater-charged faults, and land subsidence mitigation.
• •Controversial foundation design, Folsom and Auburn dams, Golden Gate Bridge.
• •Protective underground construction chambers, safety dependent geologic setting.
• •Geologic mapping as database management leasing, maintenance railroad trackway.
• •Causeway Great Salt Lake, geo-risks calculated, mitigated ‘as-constructed’.
• •Nuclear powerplants seismic design.
• •Urban Land-Use, on-going processes, acceptable geo-risks.
• •Dwelling Insurance, insuree's responsibilities.
• •Selecting technique/method to mitigate risk, preferably based on extensive database, evaluation of characteristics and historical origin adverse features/conditions that constitute a geo-risk.

     

Seismic patterns in Northern China and the characteristics of the epicentral distribution of the medium strong earthquakes before the large events

In this paper, the seismic pattern in Northern China from 30 ° to 42 ° N latitude and 104 ° to 125 ° E longitude, and the characteristics of the epicentral distribution before large events are presented. The results suggest that:

• 1.(1) the earthquakes in the region are mainly located in the orthogonal curvilinear network formed by the seismic belts;
• 2.(2) the larger earthquakes (M ⩾6) occurred mainly in the nodal regions of this grid:
• 3.(3) the strike of the fracture planes of the earthquakes coincided with the directions of the seismic belts;
• 4.(4) the pattern of medium strong earthquakes (M ⩾ 4.7) prior to thirteen large earthquakes (M⩾ 7) are analysed to be of three types:
  • 4.1.(a) mainly arranged along the two intersecting belts,
  • 4.2.(b) randomly distributed,
  • 4.3.(3) forming seismic gaps.

A theoretical basis and rules for drawing the orthogonal grid is presented, and an idea for the prediction of the sites of future earthquakes in Northern China is suggested.     

Progress in the study and modelling of similar fold interferences

Similar fold interferences are examined in two different ways.

• 1.(1) We show the importance of taking into account the original position of the stratification with respect to the orientations of two interfering fold phases. Basin and dome cases correspond to particular orientations of the interfering phases with respect to each other. In all other cases, coaxiality may be achieved for particular positions of the original stratification.
• 2.(2) We have achieved a computer-aided modelling which allows the visualization by means of sections and block-diagrams of any two or three similar fold interferences. The program allows us to define the stratification, orientations of the various phases and their profiles (sinusoidal or drawn by hand), and orientations and dimensions of the selected section or block diagram. Faults may also be represented.This modelling method is a powerful research tool that we hope to apply in future to detailed studies of fold interferences, to achieve quantitative field models of multiply folded and faulted terranes.

     

Chemical modelling of kerogens

Models of kerogens belonging to the three classical Types have been represented at the following evolution stages:

• •-beginning of diagenesis (sensu-stricto),
• •-beginning of catagenesis,
• •-end of catagenesis.

Chemical models are drawn, using analytical data obtained on natural samples: elemental analysis, electron microscopy, ¹³C NMR, thermogravimetry, functional analysis and pyrolysis.In order both to get a statistical representation and make comparisons easier, the same molecular weight of about 25,000 has been chosen for the different models of kerogens at the beginning of the diagenesis stage.     

Mineralogy and petrology of alkaline granophyric xenoliths from the Thorsmörk ignimbrite,southern Iceland

The Thorsmörk ignimbrite, southern Iceland, contains a suite of granophyre xenoliths displaying magmatic or high-temperature sub-solidus mineral assemblages. These granophyres are consanguineous with the erupting comenditic magma. Four types of mineral assemblages are distinguished:

• 1.(A) oligoclase, edenitic hornblende, salitic pyroxene, magnesian biotite, magnetite and sphene;
• 2.(B) oligoclase, manganoan to sodic ferro-augite, fayalite, richterite, ilmenite and magnetite;
• 3.(C) anorthoclase, ferrohedenbergite to aegirine hedenbergite, ilmenite, magnetite and (riebeckite);
• 4.(D) cryptoperthite, aegirine hedenbergite to (aegirine), aenigmatite, arfvedsonite, ilmenite and magnetite.

Geothermometry shows that the xenoliths have crystallized between 900°C and 500°C at moderate oxygen fugacities, just above the FMQ buffer. It is further demonstrated that a hot vapour phase heavily charged with sodium and halogens, played a major role in the late sub-solidus crystallization of the different types.     

Ore mineralization related to geological evolution of the Karkonosze–Izera Massif (the Sudetes,Poland) — Towards a model

The Karkonosze–Izera Massif is a large tectonic unit located in the northern periphery of the Bohemian Massif. It includes the Variscan Karkonosze Granite (about 328–304 Ma) surrounded by the following four older units:

• -Izera–Kowary (the Early Paleozoic continental crust of the Saxothuringian Basin),
• -Ještĕd (the Middle Devonian to Lower Viséan sedimentary succession deposited on the NE passive margin of the Saxothuringian Terrane), out of the present study area,
• -Southern Karkonosze (metamorphosed sediments and volcanics filling the Saxothuringian Basin), out of the present study area,
• -Leszczyniec (Early Ordovician, obducted fragment of Saxothuringian Basin sea floor).

The authors present a genetic model of ore mineralization in the Karkonosze–Izera Massif, in which ore deposits and ore minerals occurrences are related to the successive episodes of the geological history of the Karkonosze–Izera Massif:

• -formation of the Saxothuringian Basin and its passive continental margin (about 500–490 Ma)
• -Variscan thermal events:
  • -regional metamorphism (360–340 Ma)
  • -Karkonosze Granite intrusion (328–304 Ma)
• -Late Cretaceous and Neogene-to-Recent hypergenic processes.

The oldest ore deposits and ore minerals occurrences of the Karkonosze–Izera Massif are represented by pyrite and magnetite deposits hosted in the Leszczyniec Unit as well as by magnetite deposit and, presumably, by a small part of tin mineralization hosted in the Izera–Kowary Unit. All these deposits and occurrences were subjected to the pre-Variscan regional metamorphism.Most of the Karkonosze–Izera Massif ore deposits and occurrences are related to the Karkonosze Granite intrusion. This group includes a spatially diversified assemblage of small ore deposits and ore mineral occurrences of: Fe, Cu, Sn, As, U, Co, Au, Ag, Pb, Ni, Bi, Zn, Sb, Se, S, Th, REE, Mo, W and Hg located within the granite and in granite-related pegmatites, in the close contact aureole of the granite and within the metamorphic envelope, at various distances from the granite. Assuming world standards, all these deposits are now uneconomic. Various age determinations indicated that ore formation connected with the Karkonosze Granite might have taken place mostly between about 326 and 270 Ma.The last ore-forming episode in the Karkonosze–Izera Massif is related to hypergenic processes, particularly important in the northern part of the massif, in the Izera–Kowary Unit where some uranium deposits and occurrences resulted from the infiltration of ore solutions that originated from the weathering of pre-existing accumulations of uranium minerals. A separate problem is the presence of oxidation zones of ore deposits and occurrences, both the fossil and the recent.A full list of ore minerals identified in described deposits and occurrences of the Karkonosze–Izera Massif together with relevant, key references is presented in the form of an appendix.     

Buckling loads of fully embedded vertical piles

Determination of critical buckling loads of columns in a medium which offers resistance to lateral deflections depend on:

• (a) Length of the pile, L.
• (b) Flexural stiffness of the pile, EI.
• (c) Stiffness of the soil, K, and
• (d) Boundary conditions of the pile, both at the top and the tip.

In this paper, solutions for buckling loads have been obtained in closed form by energy methods for fully embedded vertical piles for boundary conditions, pinned top-pinned tip, fixed top-fixed tip, and a linear variation of soil stiffness. The effects of pile length, soil stiffness, and boundary conditions on buckling loads and mode of buckling have been studied for pile lengths up to 24 m with EI of 477 tm², K₀ [A] from 0 to 2000 t/m² and N_h [B] from 0 to 2000 t/m³.     

Essai d'organisation paléogéographique et structurale du PaléozoÏque des Andes Méridionales

Hercynian absolute ages obtained from many plutonites and metamorphites of the Sierras Pampeanas compel to consider this polymetamorphic domain rather as an intermediate hinterland and axis of divergent symmetry between the two elementary geosyncline ranges (Cuyanides and Bolivianides) of the south america hercynian orogen. Attempt of Cuyanides paleogeographic organization indice to define during the geosyncline period (Cambrian to Devonian):

the Pampean zone which consist of:

1. an internal sub-zone (eastern) or pampean s. st. with hinterland significance
2. a more external sub-zone (western) or transpampean or Umango sub-zone with intermediate features between eugeanticlinal ridge and eugeosynclinal furrow;
3. the Calingasta zone as a typical eugeosynclinal furrow with pelagic-terrigenous ordovician sedimentation and ophiolitic magmatism followed by early silurian than devonian Flyschs;
4. the Zonda zone as an external ridge with neritic cambro-ordovician facies and devonian flyschs.

The unwonted position of Zonda no metamorphic Facies surrounded by Calingasta and Umango metamorphic Facies, suggest its window situation and wide allochthonous structures for the internal zones. An eastward origin of the nappes is discussed in relation with pampean syntectonic metamorphism and plutonism. Essentially, structures are referred to the Acadian phase (= bretonic) but early paleo-hercynian phases are also emphasized to explain Flyschs sequences and some pampean plutonic cycles. Tardi- and Post-hercynian organization is briefly sketched with related molasses, neomolasses and magmatism. The remarquable geosyncline pattern of the Cuyanides is emphasizes in all stages of its evolution and under aspects however tectonic, magmatic and metamorphic. Finally, the fundamentally western polarity of the Cuyanides is replaced into the most general framework of Gondwanides organization.     

The geothermal gradient map of Central Tunisia: Comparison with structural,gravimetric and petroleum data

Five hundred and fifty temperature values, initially measured as either bottom-hole temperatures (BHT) or drill-stem tests (DST), from 98 selected petroleum exploration wells form the basis of a geothermal gradient map of central Tunisia. A “global-statistical” method was employed to correct the BHT measurements, using the DST as references. The geothermal gradient ranges from 23° to 49°C/km. Comparison of the geothermal gradient with structural, gravimetric and petroleum data indicates that:

• 1.(1) the general trend of the geothermal gradient curves reflects the main structural directions of the region,
• 2.(2) zones of low and high geothermal gradient are correlated with zones of negative and positive Bouguer anomalies and
• 3.(3) the five most important oil fields of central Tunisia are located near the geothermal gradient curve of 40° C/km.

Such associations could have practical importance in petroleum exploration, but their significance must first be established through further investigation and additional data.     

Porphyry deposits of the Urals: Geological framework and metallogeny

Most of the Cu (± Mo,Au) porphyry and porphyry-related deposits of the Urals are located in the Tagil-Magnitogorsk, East-Uralian Volcanic and Trans-Uralian volcanic arc megaterranes. They are related to subduction zones of different ages:

• (1)Silurian westward subduction: Cu-porphyry deposits of the Birgilda-Tomino ore cluster (Birgilda, Tomino, and Kalinovskoe) and the Zeleny Dol Cu-porphyry deposit;
• (2)Devonian Magnitogorsk eastward subduction and the subsequent collision with the East European plate: deposits and occurrences are located in the Tagil (skarn-porphyry Gumeshevskoe etc.) and Magnitogorsk terranes (Cu-porphyry Salavat and Voznesenskoe, Mo-porphyry Verkhne-Uralskoe, Au-porphyry Yubileinoe etc.), and probably in the Alapaevsk-Techa terrane (occurrences of the Alapayevsk-Sukhoy Log cluster);
• (3)Late-Devonian to Carboniferous subduction: deposits located in the Trans-Uralian megaterrane. This includes Late-Devonian to Early Carboniferous Mikheevskoe Cu-porphyry and Tarutino Cu skarn-porphyry, Carboniferous deposits of the Alexandrov volcanic arc terrane (Bataly, Varvarinskoe) and Early Carboniferous deposits formed dew to eastward subduction under the Kazakh continent (Benkala, etc.).
• (4)Continent-continent collision in Late Carboniferous produced the Talitsa Mo-porphyry deposit located in the East Uralian megaterrane.

Porphyry mineralization of the Magnitogorsk megaterrane shows an evolving relationship from gabbro-diorite and quartz diorite in the Middle Devonian (Gumeshevskoe, Salavat, Voznesenskoe) to granodiorite-plagiogranodiorite in the Late Devonian (Yubileinoe Au-porphyry) and finally to granodiorite in the Carboniferous (Talitsa Mo-porphyry) with a progressive increase in total REE, Rb and Sr contents. This corresponds to the evolution of the Magnitogorsk terrane from a volcanic arc which gave place to an arc-continent collision in the Famennian.     

A quantitative fluorescence technique for evaluating thermal maturity: Instrumentation and examples

Fluorescence microscopy is useful not only for identifying most of the oil-prone organic matter (macerals) in sedimentary rocks and coals but also for assessing their thermal maturities (ranks). This report introduces a violet-light excitation system which induces more than one order of magnitude stronger fluorescence intensity that the commonly used UV-light excitation system. The red/green quotient from violet-light excited fluorescence, Q_v, of sporinite can be easily measured using this system. Several examples using coal and cuttings samples are presented to demonstrate the use of this technique for evaluating the thermal maturities of coals and sedimentary rocks.From the results of our studies we conclude that:

• 1.(1) Violet-light excited fluorescence from sporinites can be routinely measured to assess thermal maturity.
• 2.(2) Spectral (Quantitative) fluorescence technique is useful for evaluating thermal maturity when samples are poorly polished or deficient in vitrinite.
• 3.(3) Visual (Strew-mounted) kerogen slides can not be used for fluorescence measurements unless a non-fluorescent mounting medium is used.

     

Great earthquakes,seismicity gaps and potential for earthquake disaster along the Himalaya plate boundary

Analysis of the space-time patterns of seismicity in the Himalaya plate boundary has established the existence of three seismic gaps:

• 1.(1) The “Kashmir gap” lying west of the 1905 Kangra earthquake;
• 2.(2) the “Central gap”, situated between the 1905 Kangra and the 1934 Bihar earthquakes;
• 3.(3) the “Assam gap” between the 1897 and 1950 Assam earthquakes.

This study has shown that the above great earthquakes were preceded as well as followed by long periods (⩾ 19 years) of decreased levels of seismic activity in the epicentral regions. Remarkable decrease in the seismicity following the year 1970 has been observed in the western half of the Central gap as well as in the Assam gap. Local seismic investigation in the Assam gap confirms this feature and the seismicity suggests the existence there of an asperity.The local seismic investigations in Garhwal Himalaya have shown that the small earthquakes are confined to the upper 6–8 km of the crust and may have strike-slip motions. These earthquakes occur in a region where teleseismically recorded events were few.     

Evaluation of the thermal regime of the Valles Caldera,New Mexico,U.S.A., by downward continuation of temperature data

Downward continuation of temperature data from 73 wells extending to depths of 250 ft (76 m) provides constraints on the thermal regime of the Valles Caldera. Surface-temperature gradient data and bottom-hole temperatures were used as constraints in the downward continuation. Three factors were found to control the shallow thermal regime:

• 1.(1) heat associated with the main geothermal source;
• 2.(2) local topography; and
• 3.(3) west-southwest groundwater flow. Although the well density is relatively high, comparison with the topography shows that the wells are not randomly distributed and tend to be clustered in valleys. Many details in the thermal regime appear to be related to groundwater drainage in these valleys. Temperature gradients and temperatures generally increase in the same direction as the regional drainage of the caldera suggesting a long-wavelength, shallow component to this regional gradient trend. Inversion of gradient and temperature data show additional deep heat input in the west-southwest sector of the caldera which appears to be spatially associated to the youngest volcanism. A previously reported northeast displacement of the main heat source from the surface anomaly has not been confirmed.

     

Geological results of deep exploration in the Vienna basin

The exploration for hydrocarbons in the deepest tectonic »floor« underneath the Vienna basin with depths of 6.5–8.5 km, was undertaken between 1977 and 1985 and based on several important conditions:

-The assumption that an autochthonous sedimentary cover lies upon the Crystalline Basement (Bohemian massif) below the Neogene basin infill and the Alpine-Carpathian nappes.

-Expressed high zones exist within the Vienna basin with exploration targets at depths reachable by drilling.

-The significant accumulation of oil- and gasfields m shallower position over the area of interest.

As a result of the 4 deep wells drilled for the abovementioned targets more information has been acquired concerning the stratigraphy, facies distribution and depth positions of the autochthonous Jurassic, Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary Molasse along the Eastern flank of the Crystalline basement spur of the Bohemian Massif. The allochthonous, Waschberg- und Flyschzone, both Alpine-Carpathian units underneath the Vienna basin, have been penetrated by these wells for the first time and the overthrust of the Calcareous Alps over the Flysch nappes has been proven (well Aderklaa UT1). Additional information about Neogene sedimentation and faulting was obtained. Drilling results made it possible to get a more comprehensive picture of the 3 tectonic »floors« of the Vienna basin, m detail represented by the Zistersdorf and Aderklaa profiles. Thick basin marls of the Upper Jurassic represent a large source potential for hydrocarbons. The favourable reservoir layers, detected in the Mesozoic sections of the foreland area have not been encountered here till now. A high supply of free hydrocarbons within the deepest floor must be assumed on the basis of many oil and gas shows, a major gas kick in Zistersdorf ÜTla and a limited oil production from a fractured zone along a thrustline in the Maustrenk ÜTla well, both occurring in an overpressured environment.     

Structural evolution of the Téfidet trough (East Aïr,Niger) in relation with the West African Cretaceous and Paleogene rifting and compression episodes

Located in northern Niger, the NW–SE Téfidet trough is the western branch of the Ténéré rift megasystem.Here we present a tectono-sedimentary analysis of the Téfidet trough, based on the combined use of satellite imagery, field observations and measures, and available literature. We use these data to analyse the sedimentary facies and the tectonic deformations (faults, folds, basins) in the Téfidet trough, and derive their relative chronology. Doing so, we characterize synrift and postrift deformations and their interactions with sedimentation.Altogether our analyses suggest that the Téfidet trough was affected from the Cretaceous to the Paleogene by three major tectonic periods.

• •The first period was a rifting stage with extension and transtension during the Albian–Aptian times. The mean extension was ∼N60° and dominantly produced NW–SE-trending normal faults, a few strike-slip faults locally associated with small folds with sigmoidal axis and small reverse faults, and progressive unconformities.
• •the second period was also a rifting time, which prevailed during the Upper Cretaceous. The regime was marked by transtensional to extensional tectonics, under a ∼N130° shortening and a ∼N60° trending stretching. The end of this period saw the closure of the Téfidet trough.
• •the third period was a postrift stage. It was characterized by a ∼N70° extensional to transtensional regime during the Oligocene–Pliocene. It mainly produced post-sedimentary extensional faults and fractures and alkaline volcanism. We eventually discuss these deformation phases in relation with the Cretaceous Gondwana breakup and its related rifting events in West and North Africa, and with the subsequent Africa–Europe collision.

     

Environmental impacts by input of substances in landscapes of the District (Bezirk) of Leipzig,Germany

Problems of landscape and resource protection resulting from the intensification of land-use can be mastered only by intersectoral planning and a land management considering (landscape-)ecological principles right from the beginning. In the district of Leipzig ecological studies in the '80ies have focussed on:

1. Determination of the regional pattern of atmospheric immissions;
2. Registration of heavy metals in soil and vegetation;
3. Soil compaction, soil erosion;
4. Study of stress indicators in the aeration zone and in the top-most aquifer in order to examine barrier effects in the percolation process.

First results are discussed.     

An alternative view of the Bayesian probabilistic prediction of strong shocks in the Hellenic Arc

A Bayesian discrete distribution, as developed by Ferraes (1985), is applied to predict the inter-arrival times for strong shocks in the Hellenic Arc on the basis of nine samples of shocks with seismotectonic locations very different from those used by Ferraes. The results suggest an alternative view of the Bayesian probabilistic prediction of strong earthquakes in the Hellenic Arc, and can be summed up as follows:

• 1.(a) Maximum final Bayesian probabilities of various inter-arrival times in a given seismotectonic segment are very dependent on the data set used and particularly on its time length.
• 2.(b) When using this method to determine the time intervals during which large shocks are to be expected in the Western and Eastern Hellenic arcs, it is very difficult to estimate intervals of less than a decade. The determination of the occurrence time, even in the long-term sense, remains the major problem in the prediction of these shocks.
• 3.(c) Bayesian probabilities in conjunction with seismicity observations indicate that large intermediate depth earthquakes in the Hellenic Arc are long overdue. Shocks of this sort can be expected to occur in the next few years.

It is also pointed out that although Bayesian-type predictions may be useful for engineering purposes, they are not a suitable basis for making specific predictions or taking special precautions.     

The Thakkhola–Mustang graben in Nepal and the late Cenozoic extension in the Higher Himalayas

The Thakkhola–Mustang graben is located at the northern side of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges in North Central Nepal. The structural pattern is mainly characterised by the N020–040° Thakkhola Fault system responsible for the development of the half-graben. A detailed study of the substrate and the sedimentary fill in several outcrops indicates polyphased faulting:-pre-sedimentation faulting (Miocene), with a mainly NNW–SSE to N–S compressional stress expressed in the substratum by N020–040° and N180–N010° sinistral and N130–140° dextral conjugate strike-slip faults;-syn-sedimentation faulting (Pliocene–Pleistocene), characterised by a W–E to WNW–ESE extensional stress and tectonic subsidence of the half-graben during the Tetang period (Pliocene probably), followed by a doming of the Tetang deposits and a short period of erosion (cf. Pliocene planation surface and unconformity between the Tetang and Thakkhola Formations); the Thakkhola period (Pleistocene) is characterized by a W–E to WNW–ESE extensional stress and a major subsidence of the half graben;-post-sedimentation recurrent extensional faulting and N–S and NE–SW normal faults in the late Quaternary terrace formations.Geodynamic interpretation of the faulting is discussed in relation to the following:

• 1.the geographic situation of the Thakkhola–Mustang half-graben in the southern part of Tibet and its setting in the Tethyan series above the South Tibetan Detachment System (STDS);
• 2.the geodynamic conditions of the convergence between India and Eurasia and the dextral east–west shearing between the High Himalayas and south Tibet;
• 3.the possible relations between the sinistral Thakkhola and the dextral Karakorum strike-slip faults in a N–S compressional stress regime during the Miocene.
