The dependence of iron and europium partitioning between plagioclase and melt on oxygen fugacity was studied in the system
SiO2(Qz)—NaAlSi3O8(Ab)—CaAl2Si2O8(An)—H2O. Experiments were performed at 500 MPa and 850 °C/750 °C under water saturated conditions. The oxygen fugacity was varied
in the log fO2-range from −7.27 to −15.78. To work at the most reducing conditions the classical double-capsule technique was modified.
The sample and a C—O—H bearing sensor capsule were placed next to each other within a BN jacket to minimise loss of hydrogen
to the vessel atmosphere. By this setup redox conditions slightly more reducing than the FeO—Fe3O4 buffer could be maintained even in 96 h runs. Raman spectra showed that the BN was modified by reaction with hydrogen resulting
in a low hydrogen permeability. The partition coefficients determined for Eu at 850 °C and 500 MPa vary from 0.095 at conditions
of the Cu—Cu2O buffer to 1.81 at the most reducing conditions (C—O—H sensor). In the same fO2 interval the partition coefficient for Fe varies from 0.55 at oxidising conditions to 0.08 at the most reducing conditions.
The partitioning of Sm, which was added as a reference for a trivalent REE, does not vary with the oxygen fugacity, yielding
an average value for D = 0.07. Lowering the temperature to 750 °C for a given fO2 decreases the partition coefficient of Eu and increases that of Fe. Comparison with published data at 1 atm and at higher
temperatures shows that both temperature and composition of the melt have strong effects on the partitioning behaviour. As
the change of the partition coefficients in the geologically relevant fO2 range is quite strong, element partitioning of Eu and Fe might be used to estimate redox conditions for the genesis of igneous
rocks. Furthermore, by modelling the partitioning data it is possible to extract information about the redox state of the
melt. Resulting ferric-ferrous ratios show significant differences from those predicted by empirical models.

SKB (Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB) is responsible for all handling, transport and storage of the nuclear wastes outside the Swedish nuclear power stations. According to Swedish law, SKB is responsible for an R&D-programme needed to take care of the radwastes. The programme comprises, among others, a general supportive geo-scientific R&D and the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory (HRL) for more in-situ specific tasks.
Sweden is geologically located in the Fennoscandian shield which is dominated by gneisses and granitoids of Precambrian age. The Swedish reference repository concept thus considers an excavated vault at ca. 500 m depth in crystalline rocks. In this concept (KBS-3), copper canisters with high level waste will be emplaced in deposition holes from a system of tunnels. Blocks of highly compacted swelling bentonite clay are placed in the holes leaving ample space for the canisters. At the final closure of the repository, the galleries are backfilled with a mixture of sand and bentonite. This repository design aims to make the disposal system as redundant as possible. Although the KBS-3 concept is the reference concept, alternative concepts and/or repository lay-outs are also studied. The main alternative, currently under development at SKB, is disposal in boreholes with depths of 4–5 km. The geoscientific research will to a great extent be guided by the demands posed by the performance and safety assessments, as well as the constuctability issues. Some main functions of the geological barrier are fundamental for the long-term safety of a repository. These are: bedrock mechanical stability, a chemically stable environment as well as a slow and stable groundwater flux. The main time-table for the final disposal of long-lived radioactive waste in Sweden foresees the final selection of the disposal system and site during the beginning of next decade. 相似文献
The observation of extreme waves at FINO 1 during storm Britta on the 1st November 2006 has initiated a series of research studies regarding the mechanisms behind. The roles of stability and the presence of the open cell structures have been previously investigated but not conclusive. To improve our understanding of these processes, which are essential for a good forecast of similarly important events offshore, this study revisits the development of storm Britta using an atmospheric and wave coupled modeling system, wind and wave measurements from ten stations across the North Sea, cloud images and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. It is found here that a standard state-of-the-art model is capable of capturing the important characteristics of a major storm like Britta, including the storm path, storm peak wind speed, the open cells, and peak significant wave height (Hs) for open sea. It was also demonstrated that the impact of the open cells has negligible contribution to the development of extreme Hs observed at FINO 1. At the same time, stability alone is not sufficient in explaining the development of extreme Hs. The controlling conditions for the development of Britta extreme Hs observed at FINO 1 are the persistent strong winds and a long and undisturbed fetch over a long period. 相似文献
Given the continuous decline in global runoff data availability over the past decades, alternative approaches for runoff determination are gaining importance. When aiming for global scale runoff at a sufficient temporal resolution and with homogeneous accuracy, the choice to use spaceborne sensors is only a logical step. In this respect, we take water storage changes from Gravity Recovery And Climate Explorer (grace) results and water level measurements from satellite altimetry, and present a comprehensive assessment of five different approaches for river runoff estimation: hydrological balance equation, hydro-meteorological balance equation, satellite altimetry with quantile function-based stage–discharge relationships, a rudimentary instantaneous runoff–precipitation relationship, and a runoff–storage relationship that takes time lag into account. As a common property, these approaches do not rely on hydrological modeling; they are either purely data driven or make additional use of atmospheric reanalyses. Further, these methods, except runoff–precipitation ratio, use geodetic observables as one of their inputs and, therefore, they are termed hydro-geodetic approaches. The runoff prediction skill of these approaches is validated against in situ runoff and compared to hydrological model predictions. Our results show that catchment-specific methods (altimetry and runoff–storage relationship) clearly outperform the global methods (hydrological and hydro-meteorological approaches) in the six study regions we considered. The global methods have the potential to provide runoff over all landmasses, which implies gauged and ungauged basins alike, but are still limited due to inconsistencies in the global hydrological and hydro-meteorological datasets that they use. 相似文献
This paper discusses tidal effects on an observation scheme to determine a point at the bottom of the sea by combining GPS and Sonar observations. For the purpose, three kinds of Earth tides are introduced (i.e., the crust tide, the equipotential surface point (ocean depth) tide, and the geoid tide). The corresponding mathematical expressions are derived to demonstrate the tidal effects on GPS and Sonar observations. The relations between the Earth tides are also discussed. Theoretical results imply a very interesting conclusion, namely that, for a local area, the static position of a point at the bottom of sea can be obtained by the dynamic observations without any tidal correction. Actually, the tidal effects cancel each other in the mentioned observation scheme. It therefore indicates that the observation scheme is free of tidal effects. Furthermore, we learned that the divergence caused by any error source on ocean surface is canceled and does not affect the final results. Therefore, to determine the position of a point at the bottom of sea, we need not consider any tidal effects. 相似文献
The Jan Mayen microcontinent was as a result of two major North Atlantic evolutionary cornerstones—the separation of Greenland
from Norway (~54 Ma), accompanied by voluminous volcanic activity, and the jump of spreading from the Aegir to the Kolbeinsey
ridge (~33 Ma), which resulted in the separation of the microcontinent itself from Eastern Greenland (~24 Ma). The resulting
eastern and western sides of the Jan Mayen microcontinent are respectively volcanic and non-volcanic rifted margins. Until
now the northern boundary of the microcontinent was not precisely known. In order to locate this boundary, two combined refraction
and reflection seismic profiles were acquired in 2006: one trending S–N and consisting of two separate segments south and
north of the island of Jan Mayen respectively, and the second one trending SW–NE east of the island. Crustal P-wave velocity
models were derived and constrained using gravity data collected during the same expedition. North of the West Jan Mayen Fracture
Zone (WJMFZ) the models show oceanic crust that thickens from west to east. This thickening is explained by an increase in
volcanic activity expressed as a bathymetric high and most likely related to the proximity of the Mohn ridge. East of the
island and south of the WJMFZ, oceanic Layers 2 and 3 have normal seismic velocities but above normal average crustal thickness
(~11 km). The similarity of the crustal thickness and seismic velocities to those observed on the conjugate M?re margin confirm
the volcanic origin of the eastern side of the microcontinent. Thick continental crust is observed in the southern parts of
both profiles. The northern boundary of the microcontinent is a continuation of the northern lineament of the East Jan Mayen
Fracture Zone. It is thus located farther north than previously assumed. The crust in the middle parts of both models, around
Jan Mayen island, is more enigmatic as the data suggest two possible interpretations—Icelandic type of oceanic crust or thinned
and heavily intruded continental crust. We prefer the first interpretation but the latter cannot be completely ruled out.
We infer that the volcanism on Jan Mayen is related to the Icelandic plume. 相似文献
