The Katla volcano in Iceland is characterized by subglacial explosive eruptions of Fe–Ti basalt composition. Although the
nature and products of historical Katla eruptions (i.e. over the last 1,100 years) at the volcano is well-documented, the
long term evolution of Katla’s volcanic activity and magma production is less well known. A study of the tephra stratigraphy
from a composite soil section to the east of the volcano has been undertaken with emphasis on the prehistoric deposits. The
section records ∼8,400 years of explosive activity at Katla volcano and includes 208 tephra layers of which 126 samples were
analysed for major-element composition. The age of individual Katla layers was calculated using soil accumulation rates (SAR)
derived from soil thicknesses between 14C-dated marker tephra layers. Temporal variations in major-element compositions of the basaltic tephra divide the ∼8,400-year
record into eight intervals with durations of 510–1,750 years. Concentrations of incompatible elements (e.g. K2O) in individual intervals reveal changes that are characterized as constant, irregular, and increasing. These variations
in incompatible elements correlate with changes in other major-element concentrations and suggest that the magmatic evolution
of the basalts beneath Katla is primarily controlled by fractional crystallisation. In addition, binary mixing between a basaltic
component and a silicic melt is inferred for several tephra layers of intermediate composition. Small to moderate eruptions
of silicic tephra (SILK) occur throughout the Holocene. However, these events do not appear to exhibit strong influence on
the magmatic evolution of the basalts. Nevertheless, peaks in the frequency of basaltic and silicic eruptions are contemporaneous.
The observed pattern of change in tephra composition within individual time intervals suggests different conditions in the
plumbing system beneath Katla volcano. At present, the cause of change of the magma plumbing system is not clear, but might
be related to eruptions of eight known Holocene lavas around the volcano. Two cycles are observed throughout the Holocene,
each involving three stages of plumbing system evolution. A cycle begins with an interval characterized by simple plumbing
system, as indicated by uniform major element compositions. This is followed by an interval of sill and dyke system, as depicted
by irregular temporal variations in major element compositions. This stage eventually leads to a formation of a magma chamber,
represented by an interval with increasing concentrations of incompatible elements with time. The eruption frequency within
the cycle increases from the stage of a simple plumbing system to the sill and dyke complex stage and then drops again during
magma chamber stage. In accordance with this model, Katla volcano is at present in the first interval (i.e. simple plumbing
system) of the third cycle because the activity in historical time has been characterized by uniform magma composition and
relatively low eruption frequency. 相似文献

Spatial (two-dimensional) distributions in ecology are often influenced by spatial autocorrelation. In standard regression
models, however, observations are assumed to be statistically independent. In this paper we present an alternative to other
methods that allow for autocorrelation. We show that the theory of wavelets provides an efficient method to remove autocorrelations
in regression models using data sampled on a regular grid. Wavelets are particularly suitable for data analysis without any
prior knowledge of the underlying correlation structure. We illustrate our new method, called wavelet-revised model, by applying
it to multiple regression for both normal linear models and logistic regression. Results are presented for computationally
simulated data and real ecological data (distribution of species richness and distribution of the plant species Dianthus carthusianorum throughout Germany). These results are compared to those of generalized linear models and models based on generalized estimating
equations. We recommend wavelet-revised models, in particular, as a method for logistic regression using large datasets. 相似文献

The degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) was studied in alkaline solution. The products were characterised using UV/vis spectroscopy, size‐exclusion chromatography (SEC), and by the analysis of low‐molecular‐weight organic acids (LMWOA). The degradation experiments were performed with water from a brown water lake or its isolated fulvic acid fraction and sodium hydroxide at different reaction times and temperatures. Depending on the wavelength and the reaction time, the UV/vis absorbance between 230 nm and 600 nm increased or decreased. The behaviour of model compounds during reactions in alkaline media was compared to the UV/vis spectroscopic behaviour of DOM. The release of LMWOA was described by kinetic data and compared to the data of model reactions. Evidence was given for the carboxylic esters playing a significant role in the release of LMWOA only during the beginning of the alkaline degradation. The results gained by SEC with on‐line UV and DOC detection showed that the average size of DOM was decreasing, and that a major part of the degradation products consisted of low‐molecular‐weight mono‐ and dicarboxylic acids. 相似文献

Around Iceland, the west- and north-flowing coastal current, induced by freshwater runoff, provides a transport mechanism for pelagic eggs and larvae derived from the main spawning grounds off the southwest coast to the main nursery grounds off the north coast. In the present study, abundance and growth of larval and juvenile cod were recorded during a series of cruises conducted in June/July of 1998–2001 along the drift route southwest and west of Iceland. The cruises provided information on approximately 2–8-week-old individuals. Hatch dates and abundance varied greatly between years. Hatch dates ranged from Julian Day 92 to 167. Growth rate differed also between the years studied. Relative abundance was generally greatest in temperatures above 7.5 °C and in low-salinity waters, characteristic for the coastal current. The study demonstrates the link between the coastal current and larval/juvenile distribution, thus providing evidence for its importance in promoting successful recruitment of the Icelandic cod stock. 相似文献
