Garnet Types from the Cazadero Area, California

This is the third in a series of papers on glaucophane schistsfrom the Franciscan Formation near Cazadero, California. Previouspapers describe three distinct types of glaucophane-bearingFranciscan metamorphic rocks near Cazadero. The purpose of this study is to investigate the garnets presentin metamorphic types III (bedrock schists) and IV (tectonicblocks) as defined by Coleman & Lee (1963). Twenty-fourgarnet analyses are presented. Sixteen of these are from (aragonite-bearing)type III glaucophane schists, and eight are from type IV glaucophaneschists. Type IV rocks include California eclogites. Type III rocks include metabasalt, metachert, metashale, meta-ironstone,and metacarbonate that were formed under high pressure and relativelylow temperature. These rocks contain garnets that display awide range of composition, but the dominant molecules representedare consistently almandine, spessartine, and grossular. Type IV rocks are mainly metabasalts that were probably formedunder higher temperatures and pressures than type III rocks.There is a distinct difference between garnets from type IIIrocks and those from type IV (including eclogites); the lattercontainless spessartine and more pyrope, and the dominant moleculesare almandine and grossular. The four analyses of garnets fromCalifornia eclogites have an average pyrope content of aboutten molecular per cent, and they extend the range of compositionreported for eclogite garnets. Quantitative spectrographic determinations of minor elementsare listed for each of the garnets described. The values determinedfor some of the minor elements have a wide range and a capriciousdistribution over a few feet of outcrop area. As a group, both the garnets from type III rocks and those fromtype IV are pyralspites with large contents (as much as 35 molecularper cent) of ugrandite. This unusual admixture of the pyralspiteand ugrandite garnet series may have resulted in part from theconditions (high pressures and relatively low temperatures)under which the enclosing rocks were recrystallized.     

CCSD主孔高Ti榴辉岩非耦合的高Ti、低Nb（Zr）特征：对玄武质岩浆房中磁铁矿分离结晶作用的指示

利用XRF和HR-ICP-MS对中国大陆科学钻探工程(CCSD)主孔<700m深度高Ti榴辉岩进行了准确分析研究。结果表明高Ti榴辉岩以TFeO和Eu异常之间的相关性及非耦合的高TiO2(2.4-5.7%)、低Nb(<5.5μg/g)和Zr(<98μg/g)为特征。而且,这些榴辉岩的TiO2、V和TFeO之间正相关。高场强元素(Ti、Nb、Zr等)在不同矿物和玄武岩/安山岩熔体之间的分配系数研究表明,高Ti和低Nb、Zr之间的非耦合变化必须有磁铁矿结晶作用的参与才能够出现。斜长石的密度(p=2.61-2.76g/cm3)低于正常玄武岩熔体(p=2.8-3.0g/cm3),因此玄武岩岩浆房中结晶出的斜长石在岩浆演化早期不会和熔体分离而形成堆晶岩。磁铁矿的密度(p=5.1-5.2g/cm3)远远高于玄武岩熔体。磁铁矿的结晶分离会显著降低玄武岩熔体的局部密度而诱发斜长石晶体分离下沉并形成富集斜长石的高Fe堆晶岩。这种机制很好地解释了高Ti榴辉岩所具有的TFeO和Eu异常之间的相关性及非耦合的高TiO2(2.4-5.7%)、低Nb(<5.5μg/g)和Zr(<98μg/g)特征。本文研究表明在CCSD中的高Ti榴辉岩原岩应是由同一玄武岩岩浆房中富磁铁矿结晶作用形成的堆晶岩。高Ti榴辉岩的Ti矿化本质上源于磁铁矿结晶作用,而与其经历的超高压变质作用无关。     

A Study on a Snowband Associated with a Coastal Front and Cold-Air Damming Event of 3-4 February 1998 along the Eastern Coast of the Korean Peninsula

A 24-h simulation with the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) nonhydrostatic model is performed for the heavy snowfall event of 3–4 February 1998 along the eastern coast of Korean Peninsula; the results are used to understand the snowfall process, including why the precipitation maxima formed along the Yeongdong coastal region rather than over the mountain slope and ridge top during. The numerical simulation with a 4-km horizontal grid spacing and 43 levels reproduces very well the narrow snowband located off the eastern Korean coast, away from, instead of over, the Yeongdong coastal mountain range. The general evolution of the snowband agrees quite well with radar observations, while the water-equivalent precipitation amount agrees reasonably well with radar precipitation estimate. The simulation results clearly show that the snow band developed due to the lifting by a coastal front that developed because of the damming of cold air against the eastern slope of the coastal mountain range. The damming was enhanced by the advection of cold air by a low-level mountain-parallel jet from the north, formed due to geostrophic adjustment as the on-shore upslope air was decelerated by the mountain blocking. As the onshore flow weakened later due to synoptic-scale flow pattern change, the cold front propagated off shore and the precipitation dissipated.

An Assessment of Deforestation Models for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD)

With the increasing concerns in developing methodologies for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) projects, there is a need to understand the characteristics of existing Land‐Use/Cover Change (LUCC) modules. This research presents a modular framework for assessing predictive accuracy of business‐as‐usual deforestation in the future by comparing two existing approaches: GEOMOD Modeling (GM) and Land Change Modeler (LCM). The comparison uses data from a case study in Chiquitanía, Bolivia. Data from 1986 and 1994 are used to simulate land‐cover of 2000; the resulting maps are compared with an observed land‐cover map of 2000. GM and LCM simulate business‐as‐usual deforestations at the pixel level. The model structures of GM's linear extrapolation and LCM's Markov Chain are compared to review quantity of LUCC; and the model structures of GM's empirical frequency, LCM's logistic regression, and LCM's multilayer perceptron are compared to review (spatial) allocation of LUCC. Relative operating characteristics, figure of merit, and multiple resolution analysis are employed to assess predictive accuracy of multiple transition modeling. By design, GM lacks the potential to model multiple transitions, and the LCM's multilayer perceptron may produce different results for each simulation due to its stochastic element. Based on the model structure and predictive accuracy comparisons, the LCM seems more suitable than the GM for a REDD application. When a project is to employ a predictive method for its spatially explicit baseline setting, then it is highly recommended to use the proposed framework to assess accuracy of the baseline as part of a project design document.     

基于重力剖面的长白山天池火山地壳岩浆囊建模

长白山天池火山是中国最具潜在喷发危险的多成因复式火山,在近2000年来,曾经发生过世界上最大规模的喷发。为了进一步研究长白山天池火山的潜在危险,有必要研究火山的岩浆囊位置和分布。为此,在长白山天池火山开展了一条南北方向的重力剖面测量。结合前人工作,如地震勘探P波速度反演和大地电磁测深（MT）电阻率反演,以及地质信息,采用人机交互的形式,建立了一条长约150km的密度模型。从建模结果图中可以发现：（1）长白山天池下方存在地壳岩浆囊;（2）长白山天池北坡地壳存在一个高阻、低密度体,深度在7~15km,距离天池2~10km,可能是富含气体的岩浆囊;（3）在南坡和北坡大约3km深度处普遍存在一个岩浆岩层;（4）在天池下存在一个已经塌陷堵塞的火山颈。     

急性UVB辐射对粉叶马尾藻过氧化损伤和主要抗氧化酶的影响

粉叶马尾藻(Sargassum glaucescens)是台湾地区潮间带的重要大型藻类,其对紫外线增强的生理响应特征尚不清楚。本研究关注粉叶马尾藻在急性紫外线辐射(Ultraviolet radiation B,UVB)下的生理指标变化,探索了粉叶马尾藻在急性UVB辐照下抗氧化系统的瞬时反应过程。结果表明:低强度组[0.5W/(m2·s)]藻体在24h内未出现显著氧化损伤和蛋白质含量变化,但是细胞活力在辐照12h后显著降低,藻体超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)酶活性随辐照时间延长而降低,过氧化氢酶(CAT)酶活性呈现升高后下降的趋势,抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)酶活性没有出现显著降低;高强度组[2W/(m2·s)]藻体在辐照3h后藻体出现明显氧化损伤,6h后细胞活力和蛋白质含量显著降低,藻体SOD酶活性随辐照时间延长而降低,CAT和APX酶活性呈现升高后降低的趋势,辐射12h后即显著降低。低强度UVB辐射对粉叶马尾藻的影响相对较小,表明粉叶马尾藻对UVB辐射具有一定耐受性;而高强度UVB辐射的影响较为显著,意味着UVB辐射的持续增强将超出粉叶马尾藻的耐受限度,进而造成不利影响。本研究结果初步揭示了粉叶马尾藻对于急性UVB辐射的增强的生理响应特征,为进一步研究UVB辐射增强的生态学效应提供参考依据。     

Bubble Size Distribution for Waves Propagating over A Submerged Breakwater

Experiments are carried out to study the characteristics of active bubbles entrained by breaking waves as these propagate over an abruptly topographical change or a submerged breakwater. Underwater sounds generated by the entrained air bubbles are detected by a hydrophone connected to a charge amplifier and a data acquisition system. The size distribution of the bubbles is then determined inversely from the received sound frequencies. The sound signals are converted from time domain to time-frequency domain by applying Gabor transform. The number of bubbles with different sizes are counted from the signal peaks in the time-frequency domain. The characteristics of the bubbles are in terms of bubble size spectra, which account for the variation in bubble probability density related to the bubble radius r. The experimental data demonstrate that the bubble probability density function shows a - 2.39 power-law sealing with radius for r 〉 0. 8 mm, and a- 1.11 power law for r 〈0.8 mm.     

Identifying Indicator Species in Habitats Created by Coastal Structures

In this paper,three approachs were developed to find indicator species from the habitat created by coastal structures.These approachs consist of a model of species co-occurrence probability,a model of k-environmental factor probability and a composite model.Simultaneously,a case study was conducted in Hsinchu Fishing Port of north-western Taiwan.Based on the aforementioned models,three primary producer species,Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformis,Chondrus ocellatus and Sarcodia montagneana,were chosen as the indicator species which had the highest co-occurrence probabilities and showed greater tolerance to more critical environment.It is imperative to understand how the three species under particular co-occurring conditions and environmental factors influence the composition of sessile assemblages in coastal water.The results indicate that for the purpose of increasing biodiversity,these models are feasible to find indicator species of artificial structures,and to help make it possible to design coastal structures based on biological considerations.This study provides an innovative approach for further advanced application in the artificial habitat of coast management.
