Biogenic Sediments and Their Paleoceanographic Implication in West Pacific Warm Pool during the Pleistocene

Primary productivity has played an important role in the global carbon cycle during the Quaternary. The average Corg/N ratio was 7.0 from the core MD97-2140 in the West Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) over the last 1 755 ka, which indicates a main contribution of marine organic carbon to the organic matter in the sediments. Large fluctuations in mass accumulation rates (MARs) of biogenics and lithogenics from this core since the marine isotope stage (MIS) 6 reflected the moderate variability in oceanographic condi...     

Glacier Changes at Svartisen,Northern Norway,during the Last 125 Years:Influence of Climate and Other Factors

The two ice caps of Svartisen,at the latitude of the Arctic Circle in Norway,supply 60 glaciers,ranging in size from >50 to <1 km2.Until the last two decades of the 19th century,the glaciers remained close to their maximum recent(Little Ice Age) size.In response to the prevailing 20th century climate,they have become smaller,but the changes have varied between glaciers.Climatic factors have not been the sole control of the variations.The response times of small,steep glaciers are shorter than those of the l...     

Characteristics and Environmental Significance of pH and EC in Summer Rainfall and Shallow Firn Profile at Yulong Snow Mountain,Lijiang City,China

The seasonal and inter-annual variations of pH and EC(electrical conductivity) at Yu-long(玉龙) Snow Mountain,Lijiang(丽江) City,are sensitive to precipitation variations and are important indicators of the atmospheric environment.The pH of summer rainfall at Lijiang City ranges from 6.7 to 7.4,and alkaline mineral salts dominate the variations of rainfall acidity.pH values in theshallow firn profile at Baishui(白水) Glacier No.1 range from 5.6 to 6.3,and EC values from 2.4 to 7.3 μs/cm.The ranges are lower than ...     

Observed Glaciohydrological Changes in China's Typical Monsoonal Temperate Glacier Region since 1980s

Under the background of significant climate warming since the 1980s,the glaciers in China's monsoonal temperate glacier region respond to the warming intensely.Based on the glaciohy-drological observations at some typical glaciers from Mts.Yulong(玉龙) and Gongga(贡嘎) of Heng-duan(横断) Mountains Range in the southeastern Tibetan plateau,the glaciohydrological changes in the temperate glacier region since the 1980s were investigated.First,the glacier terminus exhibited an accelerating retreat.Second,as the glaci...     

Detrital Zircon Geochronology and Provenance of Core Sediments in Zhoulao Town,Jianghan Plain,China

In our study,the U-Pb age spectrum of detrital zircons from terrigenous sediments is used to determine the sources.The Middle and Upper Reaches of the Yangtze River drain the western Yangtze craton and eastern Tibetan plateau,and take lots of sediments to the Jianghan (江汉) plain.Detrital zircons collected from Zhoulao (周老) core provide an ideal sample for the provenance studies.Here we report LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages of 125 detrital zircons from one sand sample in the core sediments,which is recovered from a dep...     

Modeling the Contemporary Stress Field and Deformation Pattern of Eastern Mediterranean

The contemporary stress field in the earth's crust is important and provides insights into mechanisms that drive plate motions.In this study,elastic plane stress finite element modeling incorporating realistic rock parameters was used to calculate the stress field,displacement field,and deformation of the plate interactions in the eastern Mediterranean.Modeled stress data for the African-Arabian-Anatolian plate interactions with fixed European platform correlate well with observed contemporary stress indica...
