Character of sediments entering the Costa Rica subduction zone: Implications for partitioning of water along the plate interface

Abstract   Sediments deposited off the Nicoya Peninsula advect large volumes of water as they enter the Costa Rica subduction zone. Seismic reflection data, together with results from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 170, show that hemipelagic mud comprises the upper ∼135 m of the sediment column (ranging from 0 to 210 m). The lower ∼215 m of the sediment column (ranging from 0 to 470 m) is pelagic carbonate ooze. We analyzed samples from 60 shallow (<7 m) cores to characterize the spatial variability of sediment composition on the incoming Cocos Plate. The bulk hemipelagic sediment is 10 wt% opal and 60 wt% smectite on average, with no significant variations along strike; the pelagic chalk contains approximately 2 wt% opal and <1 wt% smectite. Initially, most of the water (96%) in the subducting sediment is stored in pore spaces, but the pore water is expelled during the early stages of subduction by compaction and tectonic consolidation. Approximately 3.6% of the sediment's total water volume enters the subduction zone as interlayer water in smectite; only 0.4% of the water is bound in opal. Once subducting strata reach depths greater than 6 km (more than 30 km inboard of the subduction front), porosity drops to less than 15%, and temperature rises to greater than 60°C. Under those conditions, discrete pulses of opal and smectite dehydration should create local compartments of fluid overpressure, which probably influence fluid flow patterns and reduce effective stress along the plate boundary fault.     

Sequence stratigraphy of the Precambrian

The method of sequence stratigraphy requires the application of the same workflow and principles irrespective of the age of strata under analysis. In that respect, its application to Precambrian successions is similar to the approach used for Phanerozoic case studies. Differences, however, are recorded in terms of the preservation potential and the amount of data available for analysis; the rates and intensities of the allogenic controls on sedimentation; the environmental conditions and related physical processes; and the evolution of competing groups of organisms and associated biogenic processes. The combined effect of these contrasting aspects accounts for differences in the architecture of depositional sequences, particularly with respect to the relative contributions of various systems tracts to the makeup of a sequence.

The application of sequence stratigraphy to Precambrian basins has considerably enlarged the perspective on the fundamental principles governing the processes of sedimentary basin formation and the mechanisms controlling stratigraphic cyclicity in the rock record. These first-order principles are perhaps the most important contribution of Precambrian research to sequence stratigraphy. At the broader scale of Earth's geological history, the tectonic regimes governing the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins are shown to have been much more erratic in terms of nature and rates than originally inferred solely from the study of the Phanerozoic record. This provides important clues with respect to the criteria that should be involved in the hierarchy system of classification of stratigraphic sequences and bounding surfaces.     

秘鲁蓝色蛋白石矿物学性质及致色机理初探

近年来蓝色蛋白石的研究仅限于矿物成分及致色机理,并未对其化学成分、红外光谱、拉曼光谱等开展较为深入的分析。本文在前人的研究基础上,通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X射线粉晶衍射(XRD)、电子探针分析(EMPA)、紫外可见分光光谱、拉曼光谱等技术对样品的振动光谱、官能团表征、矿物组成及呈色机理进行研究。研究结果表明:蓝色蛋白石的主要组成矿物为非晶态蛋白石,且振动光谱与天然蛋白石存在一定程度的频率位移。EMPA分析结果显示蓝色蛋白石主要元素为Si和Cu,且紫外可见分光光谱表征为742 nm附近一吸收强度较高的宽谱带。综合电子探针和紫外可见吸收光谱的测试结果得出,蓝色蛋白石的致色元素为Cu,在其内部呈典型平面正方形结构的[Cu~(2+)(H_2O)_4]~(2+),且Cu含量与其蓝色的体色存在一定的正相关性,即随着Cu含量增加蓝色体色更加浓艳。     

Research Advance of Changing Biogenic Substance Cycling in River Systems by Damming*

River damming transforms allotropic natural rivers into autotrophic 'impound river' (referred to "reservoir"), which changes the processes of river biogenic substance cycle and the matter properties as well as export flux from land to ocean, thus becoming one of the key problems of element biogeochemical cycle. Due to the different behavior of biogenic substances (C, N, P, Si) in biological processes, biogenic substances cycle efficiency is different, in turns, Silicon (Si)>Organic Carbon (OC)>Phosphorus (P). The migration and transformation processes of C and Si are significantly affected by phytoplankton and water retention time. Nitrogen (N) and P are mainly affected by water pH, temperature, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and retention time. The retention efficiency of biogenic substances is shown as N>C>P>Si at the global scale. Besides, the sedimentation and burial processes of reservoirs constitute the net sink of OC in rivers. River damming alters the stoichiometric characteristics of water elements, nutrient constraints, aquatic communities composition and the coupling effect of C/N/P/Si. The stable isotopic compositions of C, N and Si can effectively trace the source, migration and transformation of biogenic matter. A combination of elements stoichiometric characteristics and stable isotopic composition could effectively indicate the change of source materials in reservoirs. With the increasing demand for clean energy, the intensity of river damming and reservoir construction will increase. Thus, a series of scientific problems including changing law of biogenic substance migration and transformation dynamic, as well as accumulation effect of ecological environment in watershed systems by river cascade damming, should need to be concerned in the biogeochemistry cycle study.

Potential limitations of biogenic silica as an indicator of abrupt climate change in Lake Baikal, Russia

Biogenic Silica (BSi) has been one of the most important proxies for determining the palaeoclimate from Lake Baikal over glacial-interglacial cycles. Concentrations (calculated through a 1% Na₂CO₃ wet-alkaline digestion) at a site in the north basin, however, reveal consistently low values during MIS 3 compared to greater than tenfold changes in diatom concentrations and biovolumes from c. 53.3–51.5 kyr BP. With similar glacial trends present at other low sedimentation sites, we suggest that significant amounts of BSi are removed from diatoms during glacials due to a relative increase in diatom dissolution at the sediment–water interface. This contrasts with existing results from other, higher sedimentation, sites such as those within the Selenga Delta, which display a strong relationship between diatoms and BSi. Site selection is therefore essential when searching for Heinrich and other glacial millennial-scale events in Lake Baikal, and we recommend that both BSi and diatom concentrations be calculated together in future studies.     

城市低层大气臭氧生成的模拟研究

利用一个城市边界层臭氧模式，以南京市为对象，研究了臭氧在城市低层大气中的形成机制和规律，得出了南京市18个交通点的日臭氧浓度最大值的分布图。结果表明，南京市白天有相当长的时间是处于臭氧超标的状态，不少交通点的日最大臭氧浓度值是标准的2－3倍。文章还模拟了PAN，OH自由基和HCHO这三种重要物种的日变化规律。同时，本文选择南京市东郊的紫金山风景区，实次探讨了植物排放有机物对臭氧生成的贡献。从模式的模拟研究可得，与人为因素相比，植物排放对臭氧生成的作用也是不可忽视的，值得作深入一步的探讨。     

秘鲁粉色蛋白石的物相组成及颜色成因

采用X射线粉晶衍射、红外光谱仪、电子探针、激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱仪以及紫外可见光分光光度计对不同深浅的秘鲁产粉色蛋白石样品进行了物相组成及颜色成因的测试和分析。结果显示,粉色蛋白石的主要矿物组成为Opal-CT、坡缕石、石英和水,且水的类型较为丰富,包含了结晶水、结构水和沸石水。结合X射线粉晶衍射、红外光谱及电子探针分析认为粉色蛋白石的颜色与坡缕石有关,且通过XRD定量分析坡缕石的含量,认为其与颜色呈正相关。综合紫外-可见光光谱、电子探针和激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱结果分析,粉色蛋白石的颜色与坡缕石结构中的有机物醌和β类胡萝卜素及Mn²⁺有关,且Mn²⁺含量越多,颜色越深,同时提出了Fe³⁺对颜色的影响,发现Fe³⁺只出现在了深色样品中。     

Settling velocities and entrainment thresholds of biogenic sands (shell fragments) under unidirectional flow

Settling velocities and entrainment thresholds of biogenic sedimentary particles, under unidirectional flow conditions, are derived on the basis of settling tower and laboratory flume experiments. Material consisting predominantly of equant blocks (shell fragments of Cerastoderma edule , density, ρ _s=2800 kg m⁻³) or of mica-like flakes and elongate rods ( Mytilus edulis fragments, ρ _s=2720 kg m⁻³) are used in separate series of experiments. Differences in the measured settling and threshold properties are related primarily to particle shape. The selection of a characteristic length scale for non-spherical grains is investigated by comparing two approaches used to define the grain size ( D ) of the sediment samples: grain settling and sieve analysis that are used to derive data for the threshold criteria, in terms of the Shields and Movability diagrams. The empirical curves effectively predict the threshold conditions for any grain shape, provided that grain size is defined in terms of grain settling velocity. However, a functional distinction is made between the characteristic `hydraulic' grain size, defined by grain settling for grain transport applications, and the actual (physical) grain size defined by sieve analysis.
