Lineament Analysis and Geophysical Modelling of the Alba Patera Region on Mars

Global data sets of images, topography and gravity are available for Mars from several orbiter missions. At the eve of new global data from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), the capabilities of 3D geophysical modelling based on areal topography and gravity data combined with geologic-tectonic image interpretation is demonstrated here. A unique structure is chosen for the model calculations: the Alba Patera volcanic complex at the northern border of the Tharsis rise. Five groups of graben are discriminated: Ceraunius Fossae, Catenae, Tantalus Fossae (radial group) radial to the Tharsis rise, mainly associated to the formation of Tharsis, and Alba and Tantalus Fossae (circular group), younger than the other graben and circular around Alba Patera. Combining 3D elastic flexure of the lithosphere due to a 3D topographic surface load with 3D gravity models results in a rather thick lithosphere (150–200 km) and thick crust (60–100 km). In another model estimate it has been assumed that the circular grabens are induced by the stresses from the surface load of Alba Patera. In a first order calculation the surface stresses under a point load have been determined resulting in a good correlation of the stress maximum with the location of the circular grabens for a 50-km thick lithosphere. This is in accordance with earlier results from this method, but in contradiction with the thick lithosphere derived from flexure-gravity models. One possibility for this contradiction may be that the different models represent two evolutionary points of Alba Patera. (1) The correlation of stresses with the circular grabens may represent an older stage of evolution with a thinner lithosphere. (2) The flexure-gravity models represent a younger to present stage with a thick lithosphere. The results of the lithosphere thicknesses are compared with an admittance calculation and different thermal evolution models which determine comparable thicknesses (150 km). More detailed models including 3D stress models should wait for new data sets from MGS. The results from the lineament analysis and geophysical modelling are summarized in an evolution model for Alba Patera.     

Wechselbeziehung kaledonischer Deformationspläne nordöstlich Stavanger (Südwest-Norwegen)

Zusammenfassung Zur Ergänzung der petrographischen Neuaufnahme des kaledonischen Gebirges nordöstlich Stavanger durchGeorg Müller wurde eine strukturgeologische Felduntersuchung vorgenommen.Die obersten Partien des Präkambriums und die metamorphe Gesteinsserie des Kambro-Silurs zeigen zwei Deformationspläne, die sich aufgrund ihrer Altersbeziehungen, ihres Deformationsstils und der vorherrschenden Achsenrichtungen deutlich voneinander unterscheiden. Sie sind daher das Ergebnis zweier unabhängiger Deformationsphasen.Die ältere Deformation (F1) hat mit wechselnder Stärke den gesamten Bereich erfaßt. Ihre Faltenachsen zeigen überwiegend Nordwest-Südost-Richtung. Charakteristisch ist Isoklinalfaltung.Die jüngere Deformationsphase (F2) zeigt keinen ausgeprägten Faltungsstil und hat sich vor allem im unteren Teil der kambro-silurischen Gesteinsserie ausgewirkt. Bei den Faltenachsen überwiegt die Nordost-Südwest-Richtung.Das Quarzkorngefüge hat während der F 1-Deformation eine starke Regelung erfahren. Dagegen hat nur sehr intensive F 2-Faltung zu einer Umregelung geführt.

In order to complete the petrographic mapping of the Caledonian mountains NE of Stavanger by G.Müller, the structural geology was again studied in the field.The upper parts of the Precambrien and the metamorphic rocks of the Cambro-Silurien show two different deformation plans, which may be distinguished clearly by their age, their style of deformation and the predominant orientation of their axes. Therefore, they were originated in two independent deformation phases.The older deformation (F 1) influenced the complete area with changing intensity. Their fold axes show mostly to NW-SE. Isoclinal folds seem to be characteristic.The younger deformation (F2) does not show a typical style of folding. It influenced especially the lower part of the Cambro-Silurian series. The orientation of the fold axes points especially to NE-SW.The orientation of the quartz axes was regulated parallel during the F 1-deformation. Only heavy F 2-folding led to reorientation of the axes.

Résumé Dans le but de compléter les nouveaux levés pétrographiques de la chaîne calédonienne au nord-est de Stavanger réalisés par G.Müller, l'auteur a entrepris des travaux de terrain au point de vue structural.Les parties supérieures du Précambrien et la série de roches métamorphiques du Cambro-Silurien montrent deux systèmes de déformation, qui se différencient nettement par leur âge, le style de leur déformation et leurs directions axiales prédominantes, Elles résultent donc de deux phases de déformation indépendantes l'une de l'autre.La phase de déformation la plus ancienne (F1) a touché avec une violence plus ou moins forte l'ensemble du domaine. Les axes de plissement prennent principalement la direction nord-ouest/sud-est. Son plissement isoclinal est très caractéristique.La phase de déformation plus jeune (F 2) ne présente aucun style de plissement bien marqué et a agi principalement sur la partie inférieure de la série de roches cambro-siluriennes. Les axes de plissement sont surtout dirigés nord-est/sud-ouest.Les grains de quartz ont été soumis à une forte régulation pendant la première phase de déformation (F1). Par contre c'est uniquement là où le plissement a été très intense au cours de la deuxième phase (F 2) que le quartz a pris une nouvelle structure.

Die fazielle und paläogeographische Entwicklung im Perm der Karnischen Alpen und in den Randgebieten

Zusammenfassung Im Unterperm bildet sich mit den küstennahen Innenschelf-Sedimenten der Unteren Pseudoschwagerinen-Kalke (UPK) und über der klastischen Fazies der im hochenergetischen Intertidal-Subtidal-Grenzbereich entstandenen Grenzlandbänke (GB) die Karbonatplattform der Oberen Pseudoschwagerinen-Kalke (OPK) heraus. Ökologische Zonenfolgen, die eine zunehmende Verschiebung zu küstenferneren Bereichen anzeigen, weisen die OPK als Ablagerungen des subtidalen Außenschelf-Bereiches aus.Verschieden alte Schelfrandriffe (Karnische Alpen, Sextener Dolomiten) und die Klastischen Trogkofelschichten als Innenschelfentwicklung im E und SE setzen die Entwicklung der Plattform in der Trogkofelstufe fort.Bodenunruhen mit Brekzienbildungen in den Klastischen Trogkofelschichten gipfeln in einem Zerbrechen der Karbonatplattform an der Wende Unter/Mittelperm und führen zur Ablagerung der Tarviser Brekzie in lokalen Senken.Mit den im W zunächst noch kontinentalen, in den Karnischen Alpen und Westkarawanken aber überwiegend marinen Grödener Schichten und den bei fortschreitender Transgression abgelagerten Bellerophonschichten setzt der alpidische Sedimentationszyklus ein.

Paleontological and sedimentological data of Permian rocks from the Carnic Alps and its neighbouring areas south of the Periadriatic Lineament could fit to the following paleogeographical patterns:The Untere Pseudoschwagerinen-Kalke (UPK) of the Rattendorfer Schichten were cyclically deposited in the inner-shelf area. During the upper UPK erosive activities and source areas of the clastics were changing. Increasing sedimentation of clastics due to the temporary erosion of metamorphic rocks and acid plutonites characterizes the Grenzland-Bänke (GB), deposited in a near-shore high-energy environment with intertidal to subtidal conditions (mega-ripples). The outer shelf sedimentation pattern of the Obere Pseudoschwagerinen-Kalke (OPK) is indicated by special associations of organisms in subtidal offshore areas.On this carbonate platform some knoll reefs of different age were built up during the Trogkofel stage (Carnic Alps, Sextener Dolomiten). Towards the east and southeast the platform shows again characteristics of the inner shelf (Klastische Trogkofel-Schichten).Synsedimentary tectonic activities during the late Lower Permian are manifested by the carbonate breccias of the Klastische Trogkofel-Schichten (Garnie Alps, Karawanken, Slovenia). The components of these breccias are dated as Middle Carboniferous to late Lower Permian. A further destruction of the platform at the Lower/Middle Permian boundary results in the sedimentation of the Tarviser Brekzie.The alpidic cycle Starts with the sedimentation of the clastic Grödener Schichten which during the first phase of sedimentation were deposited as continental clastics in South Tyrol but as predominately marine sediments in the Carnic Alps and in the Karawanken.The increasing transgression during the Upper Permian results in the deposition of bituminous sediments and basal evaporites of the Bellerophon-Schichten. In the south-western near-coast area the evaporites are dominating (facies fiammaza) whereas in northeastern South Tyrol gypsum with open marine carbonates prevails (facies badiotica). The Bellerophon-Schichten of the Carnic Alps indicate connections with the marine Zazar-Schichten in the Save area and with the limestones and dolomites of the Velebit mountains.

Résumé L'étude paléontologique et sédimentologique du Permien des Alpes carniques et des régions septentrionales, voisines du linéament périadriatique, a permis d'en tracér une equisse paléogéographique. - Les Untere Pseudoschwagerinen-Kalke (UPK) qui marquent le début des Rattendorfer Schichten, constituent une sédimentation cyclique de nature littorale, à laquelle succède, à la suite d'une activité érosive intense, les Grenzlandbänke (GB) caractérisés par un facies clastique de haute énergie, avec, dans ce dernier, des intervalles où apparaissent des roches métamorphiques et des roches plutoniques acides. Ce milieu, parcouru par des courants instables, nous indique un domaine mitoyen» subtidal-intertidal «(méga-ripples), à labase des marées. Des faunes et flores, variées et abondantes, sont distribuées dans une succession de zones écologiques de plus en plus distantes de la côte. Les Obere Pseudoschwagerinen-Kalke (OPK), déposés ensuite, se sont donc formés sur le plateau continental extérieur à caractère subtidal.Sur cette plate-forme à formations carbonatées, et au cours de l'étage de Trogkofel, des récifs ont pu s'installer, tandis que l'E et le SW de la plate-forme, plus rapprochés de la côte, ont reçu une sédimentation clastique (Klastische Trogkofelschichten). — Les mouvements de la fin du Permien inférieur se sont traduits par des brèches intercalées dans les Klastische Trogkofelschichten; des fragments de roches du Carbonifère moyen (étage de Moscow) sont inclus dans ces brèches. Enfin cette tendance arrive à son comble à la limite Permien inférieur/Permien moyen, lorsque la plateforme se désintègre avec formation de la Taviser Brekzie dans des effondrements local.Le cycle de sédimentation alpin débute par les Grödener Schichten — encore terrestres à l'Ouest, mais surtout marines dans les Alpes carniques et les Karawanken occidentales — et par les Bellerophonschichten marquant une mer en transgression.

Bicyclic sesquiterpenoids and diterpenoids in Australian crude oils

Bicyclanes previously reported only in heavily biodegraded Texas Gulf Coast crudes have been found to be ubiquitous in Australian crude oils of non-marine origin from four different basins. The compounds are present in oils, thought to be derived from the same or similar sources, that have undergone varying degrees of biodegradation. They are also found to be present in oils of different geological age. In addition a series of tricyclic diterpenoid hydrocarbons was common to four oils from the Gippsland Basin. Four of these compounds had the molecular formula C₂₀H₃₄ and mass spectral fragmentation patterns suggested they were mono-unsaturated diterpenoids. The presence of unsaturated diterpenoids in crude oils appears to be a unique observation. It is proposed that the diterpenoids may be the source of the bicyclanes also observed in these oils.     

Mercury and mercury compounds in surface air, soil gas, soils and rocks

Secondary mercury dispersion haloes were detected and defined above sulphide mineralization by in-situ mercury in soil gas measurements. The meteorological factors controlling the concentration of mercury in soil gas were investigated by long-term experiments. Different mercury compounds in soils and rocks have been determined by a thermal destruction technique. In areas with sulphide mineralization, adsorbed mercury, HgCl₂, HgS, HgSO₄ and organically fixed mercury are the most important mercury compounds. The concentrations, transport and secondary formation of mercury and its compounds is controlled by: (1) the content of organic matter, Fe-oxides/hydroxides and clay minerals of the soils; and (2) the composition of the underlying rocks.The occurrence of mercury-sulphur compounds indicates the topographic influence on down-slope dispersion and the direction of inclination of the ore body. HgS and HgSO₄ are the dominant mercury compounds in the ore; in the bedrock, mercury occurs mainly as adsorbed mercury.     

Zum Zusammenhang von Parametern der Wassermengen und Wasserbeschaffenheit

By means of the quality criteria COD-Mn, NO₃^?, substances which can be filtered off and components of phosphate at two measuring stations at the river Elbe in the section of Dresden as well as an inflow gauge at a drinking water reservoir in the Eastern Ore Mountains there were investigated correlative connections with hydrological and meteorological quantities. Statistically secured connections between matter-balance and water-balance components were recorded on the basis of regression statements. The large number of the factors to be observed in the development of process-describing matter discharge models is determined by the large number of “causing or influencing quantities”. With respect to continuing investigations, it is recommended to take into account the dynamic character of precipitation and the influence of vegetation more exactly, especially in the case of substance components carried away from areas, as substances which can be filtered off, nitrate, o-phosphate.
