East Asian summer monsoon intensity inferred from iron oxide mineralogy in the Xiashu Loess in southern China

The Xiashu Loess, in comparison to the well-studied loess sequences in the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP), provides a good opportunity for studying East Asian monsoon variations from a southern China perspective. Here we present a study of the iron oxide mineralogy of the Xiashu Loess using integrated geochemical and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) measurements as well as magnetic data. Our results show that the free iron oxide (Fe_d) to total iron (Fe_t) ratio (Fe_d/Fe_t), hematite (Hm) to goethite (Gt) ratio (Hm/Gt) and saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM) to magnetic susceptibility (χ) ratio (SIRM/χ) all indicate particularly strong summer monsoons during the formation of paleosols PS5 and PS4 (equivalent to Marine Isotope Stage 13 and 11, respectively). However, magnetic susceptibility and Fe_d/Fe_t are not consistently reliable indicators of summer monsoon intensity for the whole section. Our results indicate that a multi-proxy approach can give a more reliable summer monsoon intensity reconstruction. The summer monsoon shows a cooling trend and a declining of precipitation from 0.5 to ～0.3 Ma, after which it becomes warmer and wetter towards the top of paleosol PS1 (equivalent to MIS 5). However, PS1 was formed under a relatively cooler temperature and wetter soil conditions in comparison to PS5 and PS4. Such supra-orbital variations in the East Asian summer monsoon superimposed on the effects of glacial–interglacial cycles in southern China are also reflected in the 0.4–0.5 Ma cycle of marine carbon isotopes in the global ocean, possibly indicating a strong link between terrestrial weathering and the global carbon cycle.

Characteristic features of the implantation of Al,Mg, and Mn impurity atoms into the titanomagnetite structure

Results of microprobe analysis of titanomagnetites and hemoilmenites from Cenozoic basalts of Mongolia and Iceland, Eastern Siberia Permo-Triassic traps (the Norilsk borehole), and Proterozoic and Paleozoic dike basaltoids on the White Sea coast of the Kandalaksha Gulf (Por’ya Bay), as well as data on titanomagnetites of Primorski Krai basalts [Shcheka et al., 1980], are used to examine specific features of the implantation of impurity atoms into solid solutions with various concentrations of the ulvospinel component.     

On the elemental composition of suspended matter of the Severnaya Dvina River (White Sea region)

New data on the elemental composition of the Severnaya Dvina River, the largest one in the White Sea region, are presented. The elemental composition of the river water in May, the period of the snowmelt flood, is similar to the upper layer of the Earth’s continental crust due to the active erosion of the earth material in the catchment area. In August, the period of the summer low water, the impact of biogenic components increases and elevated concentrations of Cd, Sb, Mn, Zn, Pb, and Cu are observed. At other times, no significant pollution by heavy and rare-earth elements is registered.

Low-temperature thermodynamic properties of disordered zeolites of the natrolite group

 The heat capacity of paranatrolite and tetranatrolite with a disordered distribution of Al and Si atoms has been measured in the temperature range of 6–309 K using the adiabatic calorimetry technique. The composition of the samples is represented with the formula (Na_1.90K_0.22Ca_0.06)[Al_2.24Si_2.76O₁₀]·nH₂O, where n=3.10 for paranatrolite and n=2.31 for tetranatrolite. For both zeolites, thermodynamic functions (vibrational entropy, enthalpy, and free energy function) have been calculated. At T=298.15 K, the values of the heat capacity and entropy are 425.1 ± 0.8 and 419.1 ±0.8 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ for paranatrolite and 381.0 ± 0.7 and 383.2 ± 0.7 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ for tetranatrolite. Thermodynamic functions for tetranatrolite and paranatrolite with compositions corrected for the amount of extraframework cations and water molecules have also been calculated. The calculation for tetranatrolite with two water molecules and two extraframework cations per formula yields: C _p (298.15)=359.1 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, S(298.15) −S(0)=362.8 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹. Comparing these values with the literature data for the (Al,Si)-ordered natrolite, we can conclude that the order in tetrahedral atoms does not affect the heat capacity. The analysis of derivatives dC/dT for natrolite, paranatrolite, and tetranatrolite has indicated that the water- cations subsystem within the highly hydrated zeolite may become unstable at temperatures above 200 K.

鲁西寒武系第三统张夏组附枝菌与附枝菌微生物灰岩特征研究

本文通过大比例尺野外测量及镜下观察,对鲁西寒武系第三统张夏组的附枝菌与附枝菌微生物灰岩特征进行了详细研究。附枝菌是一种树枝状蓝细菌,一般向上生长扩展,形成灌木状附枝菌群落,生长于附枝菌微生物丘内部。而在微生物丘的外部边缘,附枝菌群落呈半闭合的房室状,与肾状菌十分相似。房室状附枝菌群落可能是在微生物丘外部边缘受局部高能微环境（如水流、波浪等）的影响形成的。在其形成后,其保存状态则是由附枝菌的钙化作用及早期成岩作用决定。由于附枝菌构成其微生物岩的生长骨架,且该微生物岩不具备清晰的中型构造,故可称其为附枝菌格架岩,作为对微生物岩分类命名的又一补充。附枝菌格架岩一般生长于台地边缘或台地外部斜坡环境,其生长过程受水动力条件、阳光照射及海水清澈度等影响。
