Texture‐based image segmentation applied to the quantification of superficial sand in salmonid river gravels

The presence of ?ne sediment in river gravels is widely recognized as being detrimental to salmonid habitat quality. In order to facilitate quanti?cation of sand presence at larger scales, this paper presents an application of image processing allowing for rapid and accurate assessments of super?cial sand presence in dry exposed ?uvial gravels. Images for the process are acquired with a 35 mm SLR ?lm camera and then scanned with a desktop scanner. Texture‐based segmentation is then applied to differentiate between sand and clast areas. Results show that the method is accurate and therefore it offers an alternative to bulk sampling in cases where rapid assessments of sand presence are required.

A Comparison of Methods to Predict Soil Surface Texture in an Alluvial Basin

Surface soil texture controls many important ecological, hydrological, and geomorphic processes in arid regions and is therefore important from a land‐management perspective. Soil survey efforts have traditionally fulfilled this need, but they are constrained by the size, remoteness, and inaccessibility of many arid regions, which renders simple field measurements prohibitively expensive. This article compares several different predictive soil‐mapping techniques with a sparse data set in order to develop surficial soil texture maps. Our results suggest that data collected at the landscape scale can be used as input to predictive soil‐mapping techniques to create maps of soil texture at higher fidelity and a fraction of the cost than would be required using traditional methods.

辽东菜园子古近纪玄武岩和深源捕虏晶:对新生代岩石圈地幔性质及深部作用过程的制约

通过对辽东菜园子玄武岩中的橄榄石和单斜辉石捕虏晶进行K-Ar定年及岩石地球化学测试,研究华北克拉通东部新生代岩石圈地幔的性质及深部作用过程,结果表明,辽东菜园子玄武岩形成于古近纪,K-Ar年龄为36.33 Ma±0.97 Ma和39.34 Ma±1.27 Ma;属于碱性玄武岩系列;玄武岩中Sr,Ba相对富集,Zr,Hf相对亏损;ISr和εNd(t)值分别介于。0.704 73～0.705 16和 0.22～ 2.27之间。橄榄石捕虏晶发育环状裂隙和扭折带,具有明显的成分环带,自核至边Mg#值逐渐降低(核部Mg#值介于88.7～94.3之间,边部Mg#值介于76.6～77.8之间),核部与新生代玄武岩地幔橄榄岩包体中橄榄石的成分类似,边部与玄武岩中橄榄石斑晶成分相当。单斜辉石捕虏晶为透辉石,具有反环带结构,核部具有较高的FeO,MnO,Na2O,Al2O3质量分数,反映了壳源成因;过渡部分MgO,Cr2O3质量分数明显升高,反映了壳源物质与软流圈物质反应的结果;向边部MgO,Cr2O3质量分数逐渐降低;FeO,MnO,Na2O,Al2O3质量分数逐渐升高,暗示与寄主岩浆反应的效应。上述结果表明,华北克拉通东部新生代岩石圈地幔具有亏损性质,但岩浆形成过程中有陆壳物质加入。环带状橄榄石捕虏晶反映了新生代岩石圈地幔中橄榄岩与熔体之间相互作用的存在。     

Geochemistry, Petrogenesis and Geodynamic Relationships of Miocene Calc-alkaline Volcanic Rocks in the Western Carpathian Arc, Eastern Central Europe

We report major and trace element abundances and Sr, Nd andPb isotopic data for Miocene (16·5–11 Ma) calc-alkalinevolcanic rocks from the western segment of the Carpathian arc.This volcanic suite consists mostly of andesites and dacites;basalts and basaltic andesites as well as rhyolites are rareand occur only at a late stage. Amphibole fractionation bothat high and low pressure played a significant role in magmaticdifferentiation, accompanied by high-pressure garnet fractionationduring the early stages. Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic dataindicate a major role for crustal materials in the petrogenesisof the magmas. The parental mafic magmas could have been generatedfrom an enriched mid-ocean ridge basalt (E-MORB)-type mantlesource, previously metasomatized by fluids derived from subductedsediment. Initially, the mafic magmas ponded beneath the thickcontinental crust and initiated melting in the lower crust.Mixing of mafic magmas with silicic melts from metasedimentarylower crust resulted in relatively Al-rich hybrid dacitic magmas,from which almandine could crystallize at high pressure. Theamount of crustal involvement in the petrogenesis of the magmasdecreased with time as the continental crust thinned. A strikingchange of mantle source occurred at about 13 Ma. The basalticmagmas generated during the later stages of the calc-alkalinemagmatism were derived from a more enriched mantle source, akinto FOZO. An upwelling mantle plume is unlikely to be presentin this area; therefore this mantle component probably residesin the heterogeneous upper mantle. Following the calc-alkalinemagmatism, alkaline mafic magmas erupted that were also generatedfrom an enriched asthenospheric source. We propose that bothtypes of magmatism were related in some way to lithosphericextension of the Pannonian Basin and that subduction playedonly an indirect role in generation of the calc-alkaline magmatism.The calc-alkaline magmas were formed during the peak phase ofextension by melting of metasomatized, enriched lithosphericmantle and were contaminated by various crustal materials, whereasthe alkaline mafic magmas were generated during the post-extensionalstage by low-degree melting of the shallow asthenosphere. Thewestern Carpathian volcanic areas provide an example of long-lastingmagmatism in which magma compositions changed continuously inresponse to changing geodynamic setting.
