26Al/10Be ratios reveal the source of river sediments in the Kimberley,NW Australia

We use cosmogenic ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al in both bedrock and fluvial sediments to investigate controls on erosion rates and sediment supply to river basins at the regional scale in the Kimberley, NW Australia. The area is characterised by lithologically controlled morphologies such as cuestas, isolated mesas and extensive plateaus made of slightly dipping, extensively jointed sandstones. All sampled bedrock surfaces at plateau tops, ridgelines, and in the broader floodplain of major rivers over the region show similar slow lowering rates between 0.17 and 4.88 m.Myr^-1, with a mean value of 1.0 ± 0.6 m.Myr^-1 (n=15), whilst two bedrock samples collected directly within river-beds record rates that are one to two orders of magnitude higher (14.4 ± 1.5 and 20.9 ± 2.5 m.Myr^-1, respectively). Bedrock ²⁶Al/¹⁰Be ratios are all compatible with simple, continuous sub-aerial exposure histories. Modern river sediment yield lower ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al concentrations, apparent ¹⁰Be basin-wide denudation rates ranging between 1.8 and 7.7 m.Myr^-1, with a median value of 2.6 m.Myr^-1, more than double the magnitude of bedrock erosion rates. ²⁶Al/¹⁰Be ratios of the sediment samples are lower than those obtained for bedrock samples. We propose that these depleted ²⁶Al/¹⁰Be ratios can largely be explained by the supply of sediment to river basins from the slab fragmentation and chemical weathering of channel gorge walls and plateau escarpments that result in diluting the cosmogenic nuclide concentration in river sediments measured at the basin outlets. The results of a mass-balance model suggest that ~60–90% of river sediment in the Kimberley results from the breakdown and chemical weathering of retreating vertical sandstone rock-walls in contrast to sediment generated by bedrock weathering and erosion on the plateau tops. This study emphasises the value of analysing two or more isotopes in basin-scale studies using cosmogenic nuclides, especially in slowly eroding post-orogenic settings. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

基于瑞典条分法的应变软化边坡稳定性评价方法

引入简化的应变协调方程,基于瑞典条分法的基本原理,提出一个新的能够考虑土的剪应力-应变关系的应变软化边坡稳定性简化分析方法。推导了该方法的计算公式,提出了具体算法并编制了计算程序,分析了不同应变软化特性的边坡稳定性。实际应用表明,该方法简单可靠、效率较高,计算所采用的分条数量和初始滑裂面位置对计算结果精度的影响均很小。应变软化边坡的安全系数介于基于峰值强度和残余强度的极限平衡条分法计算结果之间,具体数值不仅取决于土的抗剪强度指标,还与其剪应力-应变关系密切相关。     

粗粒土与结构接触面三维本构关系及数值模型

基于试验结果,探讨了粗粒土与结构接触面的三维力学特性,该接触面在三维剪切时两个方向上的剪应力-应变关系表现出较强的耦合特性,但其主剪应变的大小只与主剪应力的大小有关。基于提出的接触面弹塑性损伤理论,建立了描述三维条件下接触面力学特性的本构模型及其数值格式。编制了有关程序,采用该模型对接触面的力学响应进行了预测。预测结果表明,建立的接触面三维本构关系及数值模型是合理和可行的,能够较好地反映包括剪切耦合特性在内的接触面主要力学特性。

A review of geochemical background concepts and an example using data from Poland

One of the most crucial issues of recent environmental sciences is the topic of background concentrations of elements and organic compounds in various abiotic and biotic systems. The relationship between natural and anthropogenically altered concentrations of chemical species is a question that involves many implications in the geosciences, environmental and biological sciences, toxicology, and other related disciplines. This is especially important when interpreting geochemical and biogeochemical anomalies of toxic elements and/or organic compounds in various media. To better understand the potential impact of hazardous substances in the environment, we must become more familiar with their spatial and temporal distribution and with their behavior under different physico-chemical and biotic conditions. This review presents an assessment of the geochemical background concept as used by various authors. Different assumptions and approaches to this topic are presented, including direct, statistical, and integrated methods. Based on the results derived from geochemical and biogeochemical studies performed in selected forest ecosystems of Poland, an integrated method is presented. As a consequence of data processing, a normal distribution of data points was obtained using an iterative 2σ-technique. This method of estimating geochemical background is feasible and can be used for setting environmental quality standards or for studying the impact of anthropogenic pollution sources on the environment.     

Metallogeny of gold in the Fennoscandian Shield

Gold occurs in a number of different ore types in the Fennoscandian Shield ranging in age from Late Archean to Late Proterozoic. Until recently, the metal was exploited primarily as a byproduct in volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits but during the 1980s more gold mines have been opened than during any other episode in the mining history of northern Europe. The occurrence of gold in the Fennoscandian Shield is reviewed in the context of the major tectonostratigraphic units:
