Detection of iodine monoxide radicals in the marine boundary layer using laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy

A Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) instrument has been developed to detect iodine monoxide (IO) radicals in the atmosphere. An all solid-state Nd:YAG pumped Ti:Sapphire laser operating at approximately 445 nm was used to excite the (2,0) band of the IO A²Π_3/2 ← X²Π_3/2 electronic transition, with off-resonance fluorescence in the (2,5) band detected at 521 nm. The sensitivity of the instrument was determined by calibration. IO (between 10 and 150 pptV) was generated following the 184.9 nm photolysis of N₂O/CF₃I/N₂ mixtures with O₃ actinometry used to determine the photolysis flux. The detection limit was determined to be 0.3 pptV for a 300 s integration period, with an uncertainty of 23% (1σ). The instrument was deployed in August/September 2006 during the RHaMBLe (Reactive Halogens in the Marine Boundary Layer) campaign in Roscoff, France. Located on a small jetty, a few metres from the water’s edge at high tide, the instrument measured significant levels of IO on 11 days, with a maximum of 27.6 ± 3.2 pptV observed on one day (averaged over 10 s) representing the highest IO mixing ratio recorded in the marine boundary layer to date. IO displayed a clear diurnal profile with a maximum at low tide during the daytime. These results represent the first point measurements of IO in the atmosphere by LIF.     

Designation of marine protected areas in Belgium: A legal and ecological success?

In Belgium a long process (1999–2005) led to the designation of several marine protected areas (MPAs). In order to analyse the designation process, the ‘policy arrangement approach’ was used as an analytical tool. Attention was given to four dimensions (actors and coalitions, arguments, rules and resources). Particular attention was paid to the switch from an authoritative to a more deliberated policy style in reaction to conflicts with stakeholders. This switch in policy style contributed to a successful legal designation, but does not guarantee the best protection of marine biodiversity. This case study linked science (setting ecological goals) to policy (analysis of a policy process) and led to some more general conclusions on the designation of MPAs and the role of participation in this process.     

松辽盆地庆深气田火山岩储层的微观结构研究

松辽盆地营城组火山岩是庆深气田主要的储层。火山岩储集空间主要有4种组合类型,其中溶蚀孔+微孔隙型最为常见。孔隙是主要的储集空间,裂缝平均孔隙度为0.101%,主要起连通作用。通过火山岩样品的压汞分析,将毛细管压力曲线分为Ⅰ～Ⅴ类。最大孔喉半径为4.9 μm,分选系数为0.3～2.6,孔喉歪度为粗歪度。综合储层微观结构研究成果和试气结果分析认为：(1)火山通道相的火山角砾岩和角砾熔岩、喷溢相上部亚相的气孔流纹岩和侵出相内带亚相的球粒流纹岩和珍珠岩为好储层;(2)研究区储层孔隙结构以微孔喉为主、孔喉比大、孔喉的连通性及渗流能力较弱等特点,储层以Ⅱ、Ⅲ类孔喉为主,大部分气井需大型压裂改造,才能达到工业气流。

Tracking temporal palynofloral changes close to Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in Deccan volcanic associated sediments of eastern part of central Deccan volcanic province

Deccan volcanic sequences( DVS) in the central Deccan volcanic province( CDVP) are designated as Sahyadri Group having ~ 500 m thick lava pile associated with multiple sedimentary beds at different stratigraphic levels. In the eastern part of CDVP between the latitude 19 °55 '--20 °25 ' N and the longitudes 78 °15 '--78 °30 ' E,palynological investigation of the intertrappean sedimentary beds at five stratigraphic levels was carried out. The study was basically aimed for tracking the floral and environmental changes across the Deccan transition. The resulting finds indicate that the intertrappean sediments at the lowest stratigraphic level between the earliest lava flows are characterized by presence of marker Maastrichtian palynomorphs- Gabonisporis vigourouxii,Aquilapollenites bengalensis,Azolla cretacea and Farabeipollis associated with triporate and tricolpate pollen grains,phytoliths of Oryzeae of Poaceae family and peridinoid dinoflagellate cysts. The increasing volcanism deteriorated the existing flora as evident by absence of pollen-spores and presence of only structured biodegraded organic matter,fungal spores,acritarchs and algal( Botryococcus) remains in the sediments of higher-up in the sequence. For chronostratigraphic constraints on the lava flows magnetic polarity of the flows bracketing the intertrappean beds was investigated. The results indicated presence of N-R-N-R magnetic polarity in the basal lava pile that are interpreted as representing the magnetochron C30 N to C28 R( Maastrichtian-Paleogene). The floral change begins with the onset of volcanism in the chron C30 N and floral deterioration is observed in C29 N with increasing volcanism and it is only in the chron C28 R( Danian) that some evidence of recovery of flora is recorded. The current study shows that in eastern part of CDVP the post Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary eruptions represent the main phase of eruptions that triggered deterioration of the flora.

福建政和东际金-银矿床的热液蚀变特征及其勘探指示意义

福建东际金-银矿床产于中生代东坑火山岩盆地西缘的流纹质凝灰岩中,矿区及周边火山-沉积岩系遭受了广泛且强度不等的热液蚀变。本文工作采用红外反射光谱技术在东际矿区三个勘探剖面上对钻孔岩心进行系统性高密度采样分析,结果显示蚀变矿物组合及分带的大框架样式主要受原岩成分控制,具体表现为绢云母化趋向于发育于流纹质火山岩中,而绿泥石化则富集在安山质和英安质火山岩中。在更小的矿区局部空间范围内或单一岩性中,热液作用的物化条件作为次级控制因素决定着特定蚀变矿物的成分变化和蚀变类型的强度差异。从层状硅酸盐组合考虑,东际矿区热液蚀变以绢云母化和绿泥石化为最主要类型,而缺失发育良好的蒙脱石带,金-银矿化赋存在以伊利石为主的绢云母化带中,表明成矿环境属于低硫到中硫之间的浅成热液系统。含矿火山岩的热液蚀变组合和强度变化,以及金-银矿化的似层状特点,均指示成矿时流体是沿着南园组凝灰岩层内侧向流动,而蚀变分带细节显示在凝灰岩层中存在着二至三条流体主通道,金-银矿化则赋存在主通道中。流体主通道的热液蚀变标志是富铝绢云母,其与主通道之外的相对贫铝绢云母在红外光谱特征上反差明显。因此,采用红外光谱技术圈定整体热液蚀变系统的空间构型、解译成矿环境的物化条件及变化、并确定绢云母的铝含量变化用以判断成矿流体主通道位置,可以有效地缩小勘探目标和提高找矿工作的预测性。
