The influence of bacteria on recent sediments was first discussed in 1885, whenFischer andGazert were discussing the cycle of substances in the sea as well as in sediments. The influence of bacteria on the cycling of C, N, S, P in recent sediments and the open sea was soon accepted by marine geologists. Nevertheless, only very few experiments have, so far, shown more than qualitative and quantitative data collection in various restricted areas. This is due to the extensive and complicated chain of reactions on the surface of sediments and in the sediment itself. Biologists are asking for the amount of organic and inorganic matter which is reworked and released to the sea. Geologists usually emphasize the amount of substances which are sedimentated. For biologists the sediment is only part of their dominant ecosystem (the sea). While, for geologists the “sea” is only furnishing and influencing their first range system sediment. How much then, are bacteria involved in the slow process of conversion from a recent sediment to sedimentary rocks? Bacteria influence more or less strongly and to a more or less advanced degree of diagenesis:
- The organic matter in sediments and the final form in which it is found.
- The anions CO3 2?, NO3 ?, OH-, SO4 2?, PO4 3? as well as their intermediate stages and the resulting minerals.
- The cations H+, NH4 +, Ca2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, and a series of metals which are dissolved or precipitated by microbial activities as for example Fe, Mn, Cu, Ag, V, Co, Mo, Ni, U, Se, Zn.
- The equilibrium of silicium. At least diatoms and radiolarians are precipitating silica, while other reactions which have been proved are not yet shown to influence marine sediments.
- pH-values and oxidation-reduction potentials of the sediment.
- The composition of interstitial waters.
- The surface activity of minerals, since bacteria are growing especially on particle surfaces.
- The energy content and temperature of sediments.
- The texture of fine grained sediments.
- The fossilization of microfauna, macrofauna and trace fossils.

During the “Heidelberg-Ellesmere-Island-Expedition” to Oobloyah Valley, N-Ellesmere Island, NWT, Canada in 1978 the summerly water balance of this high arctic catchment area with continuous permafrost was investigated. The following results will be presented:
- Three hydrogeological areas with different physical parameters, thawing depths and drainage are distinguished and studied on slope I, II and slope III.
- The climatic situation of summer 1978 was mainly influenced by the change of radiating and cloudy periods. Due to air temperatures (2 m above ground), which never went below 0°C, these periods regulated the thawing of the glaciers and the respective run-off.
- Most of the winterly snow cover melted before July, thereafter soil thawing and its drainage began. In none of the sediments the latter reached field capacity.
- Considering the course of daily discharge and soil water balance the three studied streams were characterized by the “Dry-Weather-Discharge-Line”, DWL, of Peri-Creek the “Radiation-Weather-Discharge-Line”, RWL, and the “Cloudy-Weather-Discharge-Line”, CWL, of Nukapingwa River and Heidelberg River.
- The periglacial streams never had a measurable sediment load not even during snow melt, whereas the glacial and mixed glacial-periglacial streams as Nukapingwa River and Heidelberg River showed a sediment drift depending on their run-off. Only in Peri-Creek the ion concentrations were correlated to discharge.
- Precipitation (snow plus rain) add up to 51% of the summerly water balance. The glaciers contributed up to 48%, and the actual evapotranspiration is only 1%.

In the present phase of the volcanic activity on Nea Kameni / Santorini / Greece the calc-alkalic volcanic rocks are decomposed by H2O, CO2 and SO2 gases of about 100 °C. Using a method ofGresens (1967) for the determination of gains and losses of compounds five different processes could be distinguished:
- leaching of compounds
- enrichment of Ca as gypsum
- increase of Fe2O3 (6%–11%), TiO2 (0,8%–3%) and Zr
- enrichment of Al2O3 (15%–29%), TiO2 (0,8%–1,5%) and K
- increase of Al2O3 (15%–26%), Fe2O3 (6%–9%), TiO2 (0,8%–1,3%), Sr, Ba, Pb and Zr

The Nevado Coropuna (6400 m/19 500 ft) is the largest and highest volcano of Peru and is situated 150 km NW of the town of Arequipa at a distance of 110 km from the Pacific coast. Results of a thorough petrographic study are presented including microprobe and radiometric measurements.
- The constituent rocks building up the Coropuna volcano are lavas and rhyodacitic ash flows intercalated between older and younger lavas at the foot of the cone. The volcanic edifice rests on older ignimbrite sheets (14 m. y.) exposed only in the surrounding valleys.
- The lavas are typically latite-andesites which contain some normative quartz in the groundmass. Plagioclase has 37–47% An. The depth of the phenocryst crystallization is calculated at 8–12 km based on the equilibrium between plagioclase, clinopyroxene and groundmass.
- The Coropuna volcano has existed since the Late Miocene (5 m. y.). Approximately 2 m. y. ago a catastrophic explosion produced large rhyodacitic ignimbrite deposits around the foot of the mountain. Thereafter the effusion of lavas was dominant through Holocene times with the latest lavas becoming slightly more acidic (62% SiO2).
- 30–40 km to the W and SW of the Coropuna some outliers of the coastal batholites are exposed. Both their radiometric age (Cretaceous, 97 m. y.) and their chemical composition are in disagreement with the notion of these granodioritic to gabbroic rocks as the intrusive equivalents of the young volcanics.

Detailed sedimentological investigations were performed on sediments from DSDP-Site 594 (Chatham Rise, east of New Zealand) in order to reconstruct the evolution of paleoclimate and paleoceanographic conditions in the Southwest Pacific during the last 6 million years. The results can be summarized as follows:
- High accumulation rates of biogenic opal and carbonate and the dominance of smectites in the clay fraction suggest increased oceanic productivity and an equable dominantly humid climate during the late Miocene.
- During Pliocene times, decreasing contents of smectites and increasing feldspar/quartz ratios point to an aridification in the source area of the terrigenous sediments, culmunating near 2.5 Ma. At that time, accumulation rates of terrigenous components distinctly increased probably caused by increased sediment supply due to intensified atmospheric and oceanic circulation, lowered sea level, and decreased vegetation cover.
- A hiatus (1.45 to 0.73 Ma) suggests intensified intermediate-water circulation.
- Major glacial/interglacial cycles characterize the upper 0.73 Ma. During glacial times, oceanic productivity and terrigenous sediment supply was distinctly increased because of intensified atmospheric and oceanic circulations and lowered sea level, whereas during interglacials productivity and terrigenous sediment supply were reduced.
- An increased content of amphibols in the sediments of Site 594 indicates increased volcanic activities during the last 4.25 Ma.

Samples of micaschists, gneisses, and migmatites from a sequence of metamorphic subfacies of the Gévennes Médianes (Dép. Ardèche, France) are characterized chemically by
- a high and only slightly varying Al2O3 content (m.v.=17.57 wt.-%, stand, dev.=1.804, var. coeff.=0.103).
- a negligible variation of the molar MgO/MgO+FeO ratio (m.v.=0.504, stand. dev.= 0.066, var. coeff.=0.130), and
- an insignificant variation of the molar CaO/CaO + Na2O ratio (m.v.=0.360, stand. dev.=0.014, var. coeff.=0.039).
- The light-coloured portions of the migmatites (leueosome) contain alkalifeldspar, plagioclase, and quartz, the dark-coloured ones (melanosome) are always free of alkalifeldspar and contain, besides ferromagnesian constituents, both plagioclase and quartz.
- The plagioclase of the melanosome has a remarkably higher An-content (An30–40mol.-%) than that one of the leueosome (An 9–14 mol.-%).

- the almost circular contour
- the impact-morphologic sequence including a central uplift, ring walls and a basin rim of escarpments
- outcrops of suevites and mixed breccias
- the evidence of shock metamorphism
- the presence of shatter cones, and
- negative anomalies of the total intensity of the magnetic field at the center of the ring structure.

Bays, lagoons, and estuaries are sites where normal physicochemical processes result in accumulations of sediment and certain chemicals. Changes in water velocity and chemistry, and chemical interactions of sediment, biota, and water are factors that contribute to concentrating trace metals in coastal and lake sediments. To evaluate whether lead concentration is affected by mineralogy, kaolinite, illite, montmorillonite, and a zeolitic tuff were suspended in 10 and 20 mg/l concentrations of lead solutions [Pb(NO3)2] which were pH-adjusted incrementally through a range of 2.5 to 11.0. Samples were centrifuged after 24 hours to separate liquid from suspended sediment. Sediment-free solutions were run as controls. Lead concentrations were determined by atomic adsorption spectrophotometry. Results indicate that montmorillonite (Wyoming Bentonite) particles serve as lead adsorption nuclei over a broad pH range. Maximum sorption occurs as the solution reaches a pH of about 7.5. The kaolinite clay from Georgia strongly adsorbs trace amounts of lead at pH ranging from 3.0 to 4.5, where up to 95 percent of the lead is adsorbed by the clay. Little adsorption difference was found between the Fithian illite clay and zeolitic tuff from the Nevada Test Site in comparison to sediment-free solutions which were pH-adjusted. In concentrations of 10 to 20 mg/l montmorillonite and kaolinite clays serve as nucleation sites capable of adsorbing up to 95 percent of trace concentrations of lead within 24 hours. It appears that accumulations of lead in coastal lake and estuarine sediments are significantly influenced by:
- pH changes which occur as river and coastal waters mix resulting in precipitation of lead, and
- sorption of lead by suspended clays.

Prior experimental work has shown that in the laboratory the mineralogy of eclogites is sensitive to the ratio of CaO ∶ MgO ∶ FeO and that the reaction pyroxene + kyanite?garnet + quartz proceeds to the right at high pressures in rocks rich in magnesium and to the left in rocks rich in calcium and iron. Typical basalts crystallized at high pressure never contain kyanite. The chemistry and mineralogy of a large number of naturally occurring eclogites show they belong to three classes.
- Kyanite-free magmatic eclogites, rich in magnesium, from:
- kimberlites
- dunites and serpentinites.
- Kyanite-bearing eclogites and grosspydites rich in CaO and low in FeO with intermediate MgO from:
- kimberlites
- gneisses.
- Kyanite-free eclogites of metamorphic origin rich in iron with low magnesium and intermediate amounts of calcium from:
- glaucophane schists
- gneisses.

A series of K-plagioclases have been produced metastably by ion-exchanging the plagioclases in KCl-melt. Chemical analyses and re-exchange experiments (with NaCl-melt) have proved that the K-plagioclases are truly isomorphous with plagioclases. Because of their isomorphous nature it was possible to mix them in different proportions and homogenise them, thereby producing ternary feldspars of different compositions in the system Or-Ab-An. A comparative study of the lattice constants of plagioclases, their K-equivalents and the different ternary feldspars calculated using powder data leads to the following conclusions:
- It is possible to dertermine by X-ray methods the anorthite content of a plagioclase to an accuracy of ±1% An.
- The influence of the ionic size of the bigger cations Na, Ca, and K and that of order/disorder are different on different lattice constants and it is possible to distinguish these two effects.
- The b-parameter indicates a definite structural change in plagioclases at about 25–30% An.
- It is possible to predict the average Al/Si-distributions in the four different positions T1(o), T1(m), T2(o) and T(m) of all plagioclases of all stable structural states, using the c-parameter of their K-equivalents.

From 14 deeps and other regions of the Red Sea totally 226 samples from 28 cores recovered during the VALDIVIA cruises (1971, 1972) were investigated according to their clay mineral content (<2μm resp. < 6.3 μm) after carbonate dissolution. Three facies groups are to distinguish:
- normal sediments: dominance of chlorite, kaolinite, illite, small amounts of smectite and sepiolite. Two palygorskite types are present only in a few samples.
- normal sediments with hydrothermal influence: clay mineral paragenesis similar like that of normal sediments; but increase of smectite and presence of goethite in each sample; partly small contents of talc.
- heavy metal deposits: dominance of iron-bearing smectite, partly with amorphous components resp. pure ore mineral assemblages with authigenic silicates (talc, quartz, opal, chrysotile, sepiolite, palygorskite, chlorite).

- a common planar fabric with their host pyroxene granulites;
- the presence of an exsolved ternary feldspar phase;
- a low-pressure, water-saturated minimum composition;
- K/Rb ratios (450–1,350) distinctly higher than most upper crustal granites but similar to the surrounding granulites;
- low absolute concentrations of the rare earth elements (REEs), light REE enrichment, and large positive Eu anomalies.

Geologic, petrological and geochemical investigations have been carried out in the western part of the “Zillertaler Alpen”. Important results are:
- The premetamorphic material of the Greiner series consists of conglomerates, breccias, arcosic-sandstones or greywackes, bituminous shales, volcanic lavas and tuffs.
- The southern part of the “Zentralgneis” shows a differentiation trend from alkaline granite to quarzdiorite with predomination of granodiorite.
- Chemical relationships of granodiorite to its restitic inclusions allow the supposition of a palingenetic origin of the granitic rocks.
- At least two stages of metamorphism can be differentiated.
- Parts of the Greiner series, covered by triassic metasediments, are supposed to be of Permian age. A lower age boundary can not yet be given.
- Some vertical, northeast striking faults with throws of more than 1 or 2 kilometers produced southward verging drag folds.
- Geodynamic aspects, revealed from regional metamorphism and tectonics, are discussed.

Paleocurrent directions can be reconstructed by determining optically the preferred orientation of longest grain axes of sediments; this can be estimated by measuring the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (Rees, 1965). In order to check the applicability of both methods, the orientation of large- and small-scale sedimentary structures (cross-bedding, sole markings, grain orientation) was compared with the “magnetic fabric” of some sand and silt layers of different ages and origins:
- Rosario Formation (Late Cretaceous), La Jolla: thin siltstone layers with small-scale current-ripple cross-lamination;
- Monterey and Topanga Formations (Miocene, Los Angeles Basin): graded and laminated sandstone beds (“turbidites”);
- Holocene submarine La Jolla Fan: graded and cross-laminated sand layers (Rees, v.Rad &Shepard, 1968).

The profile of the copper-bearing shales (Kupferschiefer) displays 3 types of lithological developments of the Sudetic Foreland: in reduction facies: with the notably diminishing of participation of clay minerals and organic substance from bottom to top. Many horizons of concentration of copper, lead and zinc are present. in oxidation facies: where marley shales are forming, the metals decrease to trace contents. in intermediate zones, from reduction facies to oxidation facies shales, the lithological formation is changing and the greatest variability is encountered in the intensity of metal contents. The concentrations of copper sulphides occur in lagoonal areas in which an oxigen deficiency was associated with a great amount of organic matter. The beds formed in the oxidation facies represent the coastal zones of an open sea basin where the influence of inflow and outflow were considerable. 相似文献

The development of inventory activities in the field of forest damage assessment and monitoring during the last decade in Germany and the present state are recorded as far as remote sensing has been involved. Any forest inventory is influenced by external factors, and the resulting difficulties for an introduction of new technologies are described. The following tasks and/or methods are discussed: -global approaches to deforestation monitoring -working experience from local and regional case studies -vegetation and vegetation-damage monitoring in ”urban forestry” -sampling approaches for large areas -the contribution of spectral signatures and satellite remote sensing to damage assessment 相似文献

The loess of type localities is subdivided into 3 subseries on the basis of the paleosols allowing even an Eurasian comparison for their lithostratigraphy.
- The upper young loess (8–10 m) is most widespread, characterized by 3 sandy loess and 2 intercalated humic loess horizons. The ages of the humic loess horizons H1, H2 are c. 16 ka and 20 ka BP, respectively.
- The lower young loess (15–20 m) contains 4 loess packets and 3 chernozem-like paleosols, usually doubled soil complexes (designated MF, BD, BA). The MF paleosol complex, first member of lower young loess is c. 27–28 ka BP (C14 and TL dating). The lower young loess is underlain by a brown forest soil and chernozem-like paleosol-assemblage (MB), probably formed during the last interglacial (c. 105–125 ka BP).
- The old loess (c. 20 m) is generally characterized by 6–7 loess, mainly brown forest soil and 2 interbedded fluvial sand layers. The lowermost old loess member and an ochre-red paleosol lie below the Brunhes-Matuyama boundary (0,73 Ma).
- The loess is underlain by a subaerial non-loessic sequence (20–40 m) with 5–10 red soils, red clays mostly directly superimposed on and locally interbedded by sand and silty sand. At the base of this sequence of red paleosols usually Uppermost Miocene inland sea deposits are found.

The paper presents novel information on the Caledonian orogeny in Ireland. A series of Dalradian (Upper Precambrian-Lower Cambrian) metasedimentary rocks occur as an envelope to a granitic igneous complex at Slieve Gamph, Western Ireland. These metasedimentary rocks have been deformed at several distinct times and evidence is shown for the following sequence of events:
- formation of major nappe structures and a tectonic slide. The axial-plane traces of the folds probably trended N. E.-S. W.
- formation of upright, gently plunging folds with axial-plane traces of the folds trending N. E.-S. W. Emplacement of the components of the Slieve Gamph igneous complex.
- formation of a conjugate set of folds:
- Open folds with N. N. E.-S. S. W. trending axial-planes which dip to the east,
- Open folds with E.W. trending axial-planes which dip to the north.
- formation of kink-bands, open and conjugate folds with an axialplane trace trending N. W.-S. E.
