The Effects of Climate on Welfare and Well-Being in Russia

This paper measures the concepts of welfare and well-being in Russia on the basis of two large Russian household surveys, carried out in 1993 and 1994. Welfare refers to satisfaction with income and well-being refers to satisfaction with life as a whole. This paper investigates how climate conditions in various parts of Russia affect the cost of living and well-being. Climate equivalence scales have been constructed for both welfare and well-being.     

Weak Contrast PP Wave Displacement R/T Coefficients in Weakly Anisotropic Elastic Media

—Approximate PP plane wave displacement coefficients of reflection and transmission for weak contrast interfaces separating weakly but arbitrarily anisotropic elastic media are presented. The PP reflection coefficient for such an interface has been derived recently by Vavry?uk and P?en?ík (1997). The PP transmission coefficient presented in this paper was derived by the same approach. The coefficients are given as a sum of the coefficient for the weak contrast interface separating two nearby isotropic media and a term depending linearly on contrasts of the so-called weak anisotropy (WA) parameters (parameters specifying deviation of properties of the medium from isotropy), across the interface. While the reflection coefficient depends only on 8 of the complete set of the WA parameters describing P-wave phase velocity in weakly anisotropic media, the transmission coefficient depends on their complete set. The PP reflection coefficient depends on "shear-wave splitting parameter" γ. Tests of accuracy of the approximate formulae are presented on several models.     

Early Paleozoic mantle diapirism in Galicia

Comparison of the geological outcrop and the Bouguer map of the Ordenes Complex in Galicia (NW Spain), gives substantial evidence for a subdivision of the peripheral belt into separate units. These units, high-grade metamorphic complexes, appear to have their origin in diapiric movements of upper-mantle material into a crystalline lower crust of continental type.     

Palynology suggests hydrocarbon mobilization in Ordovician of Kasba Tadla Basin,Morocco

Palynological analysis of twelve wells shows that the metamorphic gradient of the pre-Mesozoic in the Kasba Tadla Basin of Morocco increases rapidly northwest-, southeast-, and eastward, from the center of the Basin. In the center, the Ordovician may still be releasing mobile hydrocarbons.

Zusammenfassung Eine palynologische Untersuchung von zwölf Bohrungen zeigt, daß der thermale Gradient sich im Premesozoikum des Kasba-Tadla-Beckens in Marokko vom Zentrum des Beckens aus nach Nordwesten, Südosten und Osten schnell vergrößert. Es ist sehr wohl möglich, daß das Ordovizium des Beckenzentrums noch flüssige und gasförmige Kohlenwasserstoffverbindungen abgibt.

Résumé L'analyse palynologique de 12 sondages montre que le gradient métamorphique du pré-Mésozoïque dans le Basin du Kasba Tadla, au Maroc, augmente à partir du centre du Bassin vers le nordouest, le sudest et vers l'est. Il est possible que l'Ordovicien de la partie centrale du Bassin produise encore des hydrocarbures liquides et gaseux.

Chlorine in basalts from Iceland

Chlorine has a higher solubility in basaltic magmas than other volatiles. A theoretical degassing model predicts that less than 10% of the chlorine originally present in the magma is lost to the atmosphere during surface degassing. This prediction is born out by strong correlation between chlorine and nonvolatile elements in samples from recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland. It is concluded that the chlorine content of subaerial basaltic lavas is proportional to the chlorine content of the magmas. Assuming a roughly constant ratio between chlorine and water in the magmatic gas phase and assuming further that this ratio approximates the $\text{Cl}\text{H}{}_2\text{O}$ ratio in sea water and sediments it is possible to assign each basaltic magma a fixed amount of water. The figures thus obtained (0.3–1.2% H₂O) are identical with previously assumed water contents of basaltic magmas.The implied water contents of the melts are discussed in terms of derivation from hydrous mantle phases. It is concluded that such phases can supply only a fraction of the assumed water content, the rest is derived from an additional volatile source in the mantle. The mantle source giving rise to alkali basalts in Iceland has a lower content of volatiles than the tholeiite source.
