The comprehensive biomarker characteristics from previously undescribed Middle Jurassic clays of Poland are presented. The molecular composition of the organic matter (OM) derived from clays of Aalenian to Callovian age has not changed significantly through time. High relative concentrations of many biomarkers typical for terrestrial material suggest a distinct dominance of OM derived from land plants. Increasing concentrations of C29-diaster-13(17)-enes towards the northern part of the basin indicate an increase in terrestrial input. This terrestrial material would have originated from the enhanced transport of organic matter from land situated at the northern bank of the basin, i.e., the Fennoscandian Shield. The organic matter was deposited in an oxic to suboxic environment, as indicated by relatively low concentrations of C33–C35 homohopanes, moderate to high Pr/Ph ratio values, an absence of compounds characteristic for anoxia and water column stratification, such as isorenieratane, aryl isoprenoids and gammacerane, as well as common benthic fauna and burrows. δ18O measurements from calcitic rostra of belemnites suggest that the mean value of the Middle Jurassic sea-water temperature of the Polish Basin was 13.1 °C. It is suggested that this mirrored the temperature of the lower water column because belemnites are considered here to be necto-benthic. The organic matter from the Middle Jurassic basin of Poland is immature. This is clearly indicated by a large concentration of biomarkers with the biogenic configurations, such as ββ-hopanes, hop-13(18)-enes, hop-17(21)-enes, diasterenes and sterenes. The identification of preserved, unaltered biomolecules like ferruginol, 6,7-dehydroferruginol and sugiol in Protopodocarpoxylon wood samples from these sediments present particularly strong evidence for the presence of immature OM in the Middle Jurassic sediments. Moreover, the occurrence of these polar diterpenoids is important due to the fact that they are definitely the oldest known natural products detected in geological samples. 相似文献
Combining Lu–Hf garnet geochronology with in situ trace element analyses in garnet allowed us to gain new insight into the metamorphic evolution of UHP–UHT rocks in the Stary Gierałtów region, in the Polish Sudetes. Prograde garnet growth recorded by Rayleigh-type heavy REE (HREE) zoning in the felsic granulites indicates that the obtained 386.6 ± 4.9 Ma Lu–Hf age represents the time of garnet crystallization on a prograde UHP metamorphic path. The surrounding rocks were metamorphosed at the same time as indicated by 381.2 ± 6.7 Ma Sm–Nd garnet age obtained for the mid-crustal metapelites. The second metamorphic episode, which affected most of the lower crust in the Orlica–Śnieżnik Massif (OSM) occurred at ca. 340 Ma as determined by U–Pb zircon and Sm–Nd garnet dating of granulites in this and previous studies is interpreted as a high temperature event, which took place on a retrograde path.
Trace element distribution in garnets from the layered granulites showed significant differences in distribution of medium and HREE in garnets from mafic and felsic protoliths over the course of the metamorphic evolution. This had strong impact on the isotopic dating results and led to “decoupling” of the Sm–Nd and Lu–Hf clocks, which recorded timing of the two different metamorphic episodes separated by as much as 40 Ma. Moreover, the preservation of the HREE growth zonation profile in garnets from the felsic granulites whose minimum metamorphic temperature was established at 900 °C implies that the Lu–Hf system under relatively dry conditions does not undergo significant diffusional re-equilibration even at such extreme temperatures and therefore it sill provides the age of prograde garnet growth. Under hydrous conditions, at least some resetting will take place, as documented by the partially relaxed HREE zonation profile in the amphibolitised mafic granulite, which yielded a 10 Ma younger age. The HREE distribution study appeared to be a particularly valuable and essential tool, which allowed us to distinguish garnet growth from post-growth complexities and hence, provide improved age interpretation. Medium REE, on the other hand, did not show any obvious correlation with the isotopic signature of garnet.
Two distinct metamorphic episodes recorded in the Stary Gierałtów region show that buoyancy-driven uplift of UHP rocks can be arrested at the base of a continental crust if not supported by any additional force. In our case study, the UHP rocks would have never reached the surface if their uplift had not been resumed after a long pause under a different tectonic regime. The multistage, discontinuous uplift revealed by the UHP rocks of the OSM provides a new scenario for the exhumation of continental crust from mantle depths distinct from the fast-track exhumation histories recognized in UHP terranes elsewhere. 相似文献
The SUDETES 2003 wide-angle refraction/reflection experiment covered the area of the south-western Poland and the northern Bohemian Massif. The good quality data that were gathered combined with the data from previous experiments (POLONAISE'97, CELEBRATION 2000) allowed us to prepare a 3D seismic model of the crust and uppermost mantle for this area. We inverted travel times of both refracted and reflected P waves using the JIVE3D package. This allowed us to obtain a model of P-wave velocity distribution as well as the shape of major boundaries in the crust. We also present a detailed uncertainty analysis for both the boundary depths and the velocity field. In doing the uncertainty analysis we found an interesting, strong dependence between uncertainty and inversion scheme (order of used phases). We also compared the model with surface geology and found good correlation between velocity inhomogeneities in the uppermost crust (down to 2 km) and major geological units. The higher velocity lower crust (6.9–7.2 km/s) could result from remelting of the lower crust or magmatic underplating. 相似文献
A 29-year time-series of four-times-daily atmospheric effective angular momentum (EAM) estimates is used to study the atmospheric
influence on nutation. The most important atmospheric contributions are found for the prograde annual (77 μas), retrograde
annual (53 as), prograde semiannual (45 as), and for the constant offset of the pole (δψsinɛ0=−86 as, δɛ=77 as). Among them only the prograde semiannual component is driven mostly by the wind term of the EAM function,
while in all other cases the pressure term is dominant. These are nonnegligible quantities which should be taken into account
in the new theory of nutation. Comparison with the VLBI corrections to the IAU 1980 nutation model taking into account the
ocean tide contribution yields good agreement for the prograde annual and semiannual nutations. We also investigated time
variability of the atmospheric contribution to the nutation amplitudes by performing the sliding-window least-squares analysis
of both the atmospheric excitation and VLBI nutation data. Almost all detected variations of atmospheric origin can be attributed
to the pressure term, the biggest being the in-phase annual prograde component (about 30 as) and the retrograde one (as much
as 100200 as). These variations, if physical, limit the precision of classical modeling of nutation to the level of 0.1 mas.
Comparison with the VLBI data shows significant correlation for the retrograde annual nutation after 1989, while for the prograde
annual term there is a high correlation in shape but the size of the atmospherically driven variations is about three times
less than deduced from the VLBI data. This discrepancy in size can be attributed either to inaccuracy of the theoretical transfer
function or the frequency-dependent ocean response to the pressure variations. Our comparison also yields a considerably better
agreement with the VLBI nutation data when using the EAM function without the IB correction for ocean response, which indicates
that this correction is not adequate for nearly diurnal variations.

In view of the small size of most Polish farms, attempts have been made to encourage diversification into rural tourism. The
paper examines the progress made in Lower Silesia which has good resources for domestic and international tourism. Thanks
to the promotional work of the Agricultural Consultative Centres over a hundred farms are now providing services. They do
not generate a large share of the farm income but business is expanding and some areas are becoming very popular. Thus a base
has been established for future expansion. Further development depends on easier access to credit and government support for
ecological agriculture. Better promotion is also needed to increase interest in rural tourism in Poland and attract more visitors
from abroad.

Summary The concept of satellite-to-satellite tracking measuring the relative velocity of two orbiting satellites spaced some hundreds
kilometers on a close orbit, provides now possibilities for the investigation of the Earth’s gravity field. In the paper only
medium and short wave length effects affecting the measured relative velocity have been considered. Collocation is used in
such an analysis of local geoid improvement, because this method allows to combine heterogeneous data in a consistent way.
Covariance functions relevant for the particular case of a circular equatorial orbit are given. Two kinds of observation equations
have been formulated. The choice of observation equation with regard to satellites configuration is discussed.
It is found that it is sufficient to have a limited number of satellite-to-satellite observations in a 7o×7o area around the estimation point with distances between profiles of about 1o.5 and between the two satellites forming the pair of 200+350 km; the altitude of satellite-to-satellite observations should
be as low as possible. The accuracy of the geoid determination strongly depends on the degree and order of the reference field
used. An accuracy of about ±1 m can be achieved with an assumed reference field of (40,40).
The influence of measuring errors is discussed and it is shown that only satellite-to-satellite observations with accuracy
better then 0.1 mm/sec will give an improvement of the geoid. Finally, some results on the combination of low-low satellite-to-satellite
tracking and terrestrial gravity data are given.
The proposed method seems to be especially interesting for unsurveyed areas. Furthermore, it has the practical advantage that
only a local coverage data is needed. 相似文献
Summary Satellite gradiometry is studied as a means to improve the geoid in local areas from a limited data coverage. Least-squares
collocation is used for this purpose because it allows to combine heterogeneous data in a consistent way and to estimate the
integrated effect of the attenuated spectrum. In this way accuracy studies can be performed in a general and reliable manner.
It is shown that only three second-order gradients contribute significantly to the estimation of the geoidal undulations and
that it is sufficient to have gradiometer data in a 5°×5° area around the estimation point. The accuracy of the geoid determination
is strongly dependent on the degree and order of the reference field used. An accuracy of about ±1 m can be achieved with
a reference field of (12, 12). There is an optimal satellite altitude for each reference field and this altitude may be higher
than 300 km for a field of low degree and order. The influence of measuring errors is discussed and it is shown that only
gradiometer data with accuracies better than ±0.05 E will give a significant improvement of the geoid. Finally, some results
on the combination of satellite gradiometry and terrestrial gravity measurements are given.
The proposed method seems to be well suited for local geoid determinations down to the meter range. It is especially interesting
for unsurveyed and difficult areas because no terrestrial measurements are necessary. Furthermore, it has the practical advantage
that only a local data coverage is needed. 相似文献
Long-term repeated measurements of microdisplacements in tectonic fault structures of various parts of Central Europe and the Balkan Mountains showed that displacement trends changed significantly at several points in the period from 1997 through 2000; afterward, long-term trends were restored. This phenomenon took place in the periods of strong (M > 7) earthquakes in Iran (1997) and in the North Anatolian fault zone in Turkey (1999). Two strong Izmit earthquakes of 1999 in Turkey at distances of 600 km from the Balkan Peninsula and 1400 km from observation points in Central Europe were the main seismic events of the period studied. Apparently, the crustal deformation due to the sources of the aforementioned earthquakes reaches the central part of the European craton. Anomalous displacements in some areas occurred due to deformation propagating for great distances in the heterogeneous block medium of the West European part of the Eurasian plate. Changes in stresses can be caused by impulsive deformations of various intensities acting on some structural units (fault segments) at various distances. 相似文献
