Th-and U-bearing minerals in the SE Mediterranean margin of Spain

This paper presents the first specific study of the Th-and U-bearing minerals, which were recently found in the SE Mediterranean margin of Spain (El Hoyazo area,Almeria province). These minerals are REE phosphates (mainly monazite) which occur as amoeboidal-to-elongate inclusions,from around 10 120μm to 120μm, hosted in single garnet crystals from dacite lavas and metamorphic rocks from the El Hoyazo Volcanic Complex. Th and U contents are higher than 1 wt%, with 3.04 to 5.62wt% for Th02, and 0.7 to 1.75 wt% for UO2. Both elements are also found in xenotime (ThO2:0.24,UO2:0.27wt%). Given that the erosion of the volcanic source rocks has generated a “placer-type” deposit of monazite sands and that garnets (main carriers of monazite) are being commercialised, an environmental monitoring and management plan should be urgently executed in the area.     

海浪非线性性的实验研究——Ⅰ.波面高度分布的非正态性

本文介绍海浪非线性性实验研究的第一部分。利用实验室测得的在各种背景下具有不同非线性强度的风浪波面记录,通过波面统计分析,并与非线性波面理论分布比较,揭示了海浪非线性性的外观特征及其随风速、风区等的变化规律。
