Mission-Specific Platforms (MSPs) have been important members of the scientific ocean drilling family for two decades, operating alongside their impressive siblings JOIDES Resolution and D/V Chikyu. Over this time, 10 MSP expeditions were implemented in 7 different oceans and seas. These MSPs capitalised on alternative platforms and methods, and enabled the scientific community to access new geographical areas and new geological targets that could not be drilled by the JOIDES Resolution or Chikyu. Offshore heave-compensated wireline coring, onshore-mining-style wireline coring, remote seafloor drilling and giant piston coring have all featured on MSP expeditions. Equally diverse were the environments in which these technologies were deployed, from the ice-covered Arctic Ocean to the tropical seas of the Great Barrier Reef, and from the shallow waters of the Yucatan shelf to the ultra-deep hadal depths of the Japan Trench. In this paper we reflect on the diverse technologies of MSPs, how they increased scientific ocean drilling capability in the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (2003−2013) and International Ocean Discovery Program (2013–2024), and the scientific achievements that they enabled.
二十年来,特定任务平台(MSPs)一直是科学海洋钻探大家庭的重要成员,与令人印象深刻的同胞兄弟 "JOIDES Resolution "号和 "D/V Chikyu "号一起工作。在此期间,共在 7 个不同的大洋和海域进行了 10 次任务平台考察。这些多式联运项目利用了替代平台和方法,使科学界能够进入新的地理区域和新的地质目标,而这些是 JOIDES Resolution 或 Chikyu 无法钻探的。近海波浪补偿钢丝绳岩芯钻探、陆上采矿式钢丝绳岩芯钻探、遥控海底钻探和巨型活塞岩芯钻探都是海洋科学计划探险的特色。部署这些技术的环境同样多种多样,从冰雪覆盖的北冰洋到大堡礁的热带海洋,从尤卡坦大陆架的浅海到日本海沟的超深海底。在本文中,我们回顾了多用途平台的各种技术,它们如何在综合大洋钻探计划(2003-2013 年)和国际大洋发现计划(2013-2024 年)中提高了大洋钻探的科学能力,以及它们促成的科学成就。

Drowned paleo-coastal and fluvial landforms preserved on continental shelves are important indicators of sea-level changes during the Quaternary. Morphological analyses of paleo-coastal and fluvial submerged features using multibeam bathymetry as basic datasets, were carried out on the Southeast Brazilian Shelf. The aim was to investigate the interaction between incised valleys and submerged barriers and their temporal relationship. Six partially infilled incised valleys with sinuous and meandering features, and up to ∼40 m of fluvial incision were observed, including several morphologies associated with meanders (e.g., point bars, neck, cut-bank). Paleo-coastal features, mainly related to barriers, were found at four depth ranges (DR) in a dip orientation: DR1 (>60 m); DR2 (55 m–60 m); DR3 (50 m–55 m); DR4 (45 m–50 m). The geomorphic results show that valleys and coastal barriers coexisted and that lower and narrower barriers tend to occur near the shelf break. Preliminary geomorphic evolution between incised valleys and coastal barriers encompasses two possible origins: I) paleo-coastal features of DR 2–4 developed during the interstadial fluctuations of sea-level in MIS 3–5 and/or multiple genetic phases with different base level cycles. The valleys had two phases of incisions related to the base level drop below the shelf break: MIS 4 in the shallow incisions (terraces) and MIS 2 in the main incisions. Moreover, the development of DR 1 was related to the post-LGM base level rise; II) All submerged coastal (DR 1–4) and fluvial features developed during post-LGM base level rise (i.e., fluvial and coastal dynamics in the same cycle of base level change). The multiple phases of base-level changes inducing phases of valley incisions and barrier formation is more likely the be a better explanation. From this perspective, geochronological studies using sedimetary cores in the paleo-coastal and fluvial features are crucial to validate these scenarios, and thus contributing to fill knowledge gaps regarding morphosedimentary responses to base-level changes on the western Atlantic margin.
保存在大陆架上的淹没古海岸和河流地貌是第四纪海平面变化的重要指标。利用多波束测深数据作为基本数据集,对巴西东南大陆架上的古海岸和河流淹没地貌进行了形态学分析。目的是研究切谷与水下障碍物之间的相互作用及其时间关系。观测到六个部分被填平的切谷,具有蜿蜒曲折的特征,河道切口长达 40 米,包括与蜿蜒曲折有关的几种形态(如点状条形、颈状、切槽)。在四个深度范围(DR)发现了古海岸特征,主要与障碍物有关,呈倾角方向:DR1(60 米);DR2(55 米-60 米);DR3(50 米-55 米);DR4(45 米-50 米)。地貌结果表明,山谷和海岸屏障共存,较低和较窄的屏障往往出现在陆架断裂附近。切谷与海岸屏障之间的初步地貌演变包括两种可能的起源:I) DR 2-4 的古海岸地貌是在 MIS 3-5 的海平面间期波动中形成的,和/或具有不同基底面周期的多个成因阶段。山谷有两个阶段的切口与大陆架断裂以下的基底面下降有关:浅切口(阶地)为 MIS 4,主切口为 MIS 2。此外,DR 1 的发展与后大地构造时期的基面上升有关;(II) 所有沉积海岸地貌(DR 1-4)和河流地貌都是在后大地构造时期基面上升过程中形成的(即河流和海岸动力学处于同一基面变化周期)。基面变化的多个阶段引起山谷切裂和屏障形成的阶段,更有可能是一种更好的解释。从这个角度看,利用古海岸和河流地貌中的沉积岩芯进行地质年代研究,对于验证这些假设是至关重要的,从而有助于填补大西洋西缘形态沉积对基底变化响应方面的知识空白。

<div><div>Sofu Seamount is one of the poorly studied submarine edifices in the Izu-Bonin Arc. There is no known historical record of volcanic activity, thus its eruptive history and volcanic features are completely unknown. However, on October 9, 2023, at least 14 <em>T</em>-phases originating near Sofu Seamount were observed. An 80 km-long raft of floating pumice was observed off Sofu Seamount on October 20. These spatially and temporally coherent observations indicate that an eruption occurred from a deep seafloor vent somewhere near Sofu Seamount. In order to investigate the origin of this submarine eruption, we collected new bathymetric data in 2024 and compared it with older bathymetric data collected in 2022, 2007 and 1987. The bathymetric comparison revealed evidence for explosive eruptions at Sofu Seamount between 2022 and 2024. During this time, a crater, 1.6 km wide and 400 m deep, was formed at the pre-existing central cone on the western part of Sofu Seamount, whose pre-eruption summit depth was 737 m. The maximum negative depth change was 451 m and a volume of 430 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup> was removed due to the crater formation. A dome-like structure, 1 km wide and 100 m high was constructed northeast of the crater, part of which collapsed as a result of the crater formation. The volcanic products were transported over 6 km downslope and emplaced on the adjacent seafloor where positive depth changes up to 75 m were observed. Landslides also occurred around the crater. The largest slide on the northern flank formed a slide scar that is 3.8 km long and 1 km wide. Here, the maximum negative depth change was 148 m and 140 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup> of material was removed. The slide materials were deposited downslope where positive depth changes up to 61 m were observed. Considering the occurrence of the earthquake swarm on October 2–8, 2023 and <em>T</em>-phase swarm on October 9, the timing of the eruption can be constrained within October 2023.</div><div>An analysis of volcanic and tectonic morphology reveals a distinct tectonic influence on volcanism at Sofu Seamount. Sofu Seamount is located in a back-arc rift zone where the N–S trending Torishima and Sofu Rifts have formed.

The inner rifts are bounded by steeper fault scarps that have experienced more subsidence than the outer rifts. The western part of Sofu Seamount, where the eruption occurred, is located within the inner rifts, and is heavily dissected by rifting-related normal faults, while the eastern part is located outward of the inner rifts and is not dissected by faults.

索福海山是伊豆-波宁弧区研究较少的海底建筑之一。由于没有已知的火山活动历史记录,因此其喷发历史和火山特征完全不为人知。不过,在 2023 年 10 月 9 日,观测到至少有 14 个 T 相从 Sofu Seamount 附近发源。10 月 20 日,在索孚海山附近观测到一个 80 公里长的浮石筏。这些时空连贯的观测结果表明,索孚海山附近的某个深海海底喷口发生了喷发。为了研究这次海底喷发的起源,我们收集了 2024 年的新测深数据,并与 2022 年、2007 年和 1987 年收集的旧测深数据进行了比较。水深测量对比显示,索孚海山在 2022 年至 2024 年期间曾发生过爆炸性喷发。在此期间,索孚海山西部原有的中心圆锥形成了一个宽 1.6 千米、深 400 米的火山口,火山爆发前的顶点深度为 737 米。在火山口东北方向形成了一个宽 1 公里、高 100 米的圆顶结构,其中一部分由于火山口的形成而坍塌。火山产物向下迁移了 6 千米,并沉积在邻近的海底,在那里观察到深度变化达 75 米。火山口周围也发生了滑坡。北侧最大的滑坡形成了一条长 3.8 公里、宽 1 公里的滑痕。这里的最大负深度变化为 148 米,140 × 106 立方米的物质被清除。滑坡物质向下沉积,在此观察到的正深度变化达 61 米。考虑到 2023 年 10 月 2 日至 8 日发生的地震群和 10 月 9 日发生的 T 相地震群,可以将喷发时间限制在 2023 年 10 月。索孚海山位于弧后断裂带,N-S 向的鸟岛断裂带和索孚断裂带在此形成。新的水深数据显示,裂谷具有非对称结构,可分为两段,在此被确定为内裂谷和外裂谷。内侧裂谷以陡峭的断层疤痕为界,比外侧裂谷经历了更多的沉降。发生喷发的索孚海山西部位于内裂谷内,被与断裂有关的正断层严重剖切,而东部则位于内裂谷外侧,没有断层剖切。10 月份的地震群更多地集中在内侧裂谷地区,一些大地震显示了张力轴大致位于东西方向的正断层聚焦机制。我们的形态观察结果与最近的地震事件相结合,表明内裂谷是目前活跃的构造结构,索孚海山的年轻火山活动受伊豆-波宁弧后弧裂谷的控制。

The Alabama Underwater or Drowned Forest is a well-preserved Late Pleistocene (dated to 72–56 ± 8 ka, 2σ) terrestrial landform on the northern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf that provides geomorphic and ecosystem information rarely preserved during the glacial intervals. Stumps of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.) trees were exposed in ∼18 m of water following Hurricane Ivan in 2004. This research investigates geomorphic changes to the Mississippi-Alabama-Florida (MAFLA) sand sheet, which presents as shore-oblique Holocene sand ridges, and the exposure and burial of tree stumps following the passage of Hurricane Sally in 2020 using repeat sidescan and bathymetric surveys (2015–2016 and 2021). Using two newly identified tree exposure areas and their geological properties, this research also hypothesized a new location where tree stumps may be outcropping. The bathymetry indicates regions with up to ∼1 m of erosion and deposition over the five years between the two surveys. Similarly, the sidescan sonar indicates changes in the location and numbers of exposed tree stumps as well as between 47,000 and 62,500 tons of sediment erosion within the study area following Hurricane Sally. The 2015 and 2016 data found 25 tree contacts whereas the 2021 survey found 76 tree contacts and only 5 of them occurred in both surveys suggesting the tree exposures are dynamic and presumably changing with the passing of large tropical cyclones. Additionally, the hypothesized exposure location had 26 newly identified tree stump contacts within a mixed texture unit along the sand-mud boundary, confirming our understanding of the geomorphic characteristics leading to the exposure of the buried forest. This research will expand the potential areas for investigations into Late Pleistocene ecosystems and landforms and their associated climatic and ecologic conditions in the Gulf of Mexico as well as in other passive continental margins.
阿拉巴马水下森林或淹没森林是墨西哥湾北部大陆架上保存完好的晚更新世(年代为 72-56 ± 8 ka,2σ)陆地地貌,它提供了冰川期很少保存的地貌和生态系统信息。2004 年伊万飓风过后,秃柏(Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.)树桩暴露在水下 18 米处。本研究利用重复侧向扫描和水深测量调查(2015-2016 年和 2021 年),调查了密西西比-阿拉巴马-佛罗里达(MAFLA)沙层的地貌变化(表现为海岸斜向全新世沙脊),以及 2020 年飓风莎莉过后树桩的暴露和掩埋情况。利用新发现的两个树木暴露区及其地质特性,该研究还假设了一个树桩可能出露的新地点。水深测量结果表明,在两次勘测之间的五年里,该区域的侵蚀和沉积达 1 米。同样,侧扫声纳显示,在飓风莎莉过后,研究区域内暴露树桩的位置和数量发生了变化,沉积物侵蚀量在 4.7 万吨至 6.25 万吨之间。2015 年和 2016 年的数据发现有 25 处树木接触点,而 2021 年的调查发现有 76 处树木接触点,其中只有 5 处在两次调查中都出现了,这表明树木暴露是动态的,可能会随着大型热带气旋的经过而发生变化。此外,在沙泥边界的混合质地单元中,假设的出露地点有 26 个新发现的树桩接触点,这证实了我们对导致埋藏森林出露的地貌特征的理解。这项研究将拓展墨西哥湾及其他被动大陆边缘晚更新世生态系统和地貌及其相关气候和生态条件的潜在研究领域。

Formation and preservation mechanisms of magnetofossils in the surface sediments of muddy areas in the ye llow and Bohai Seas, China 中国黄海和渤海泥质地区表层沉积物中磁化石的形成和保存机制
IF 2.6 3区 地球科学 Q2 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-09-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.margeo.2024.107401

Magnetofossils in the continental shelf sediments of the Yellow and Bohai Seas have long been overlooked. Based on the magnetic results of 88 surface sediments (0–10 cm depth), first-order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams, isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) acquisition curves from 6 representative samples, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations of 2 samples, the formation and preservation mechanisms of magnetofossils in this region are elucidated. The FORC diagrams consistently show a clear central ridge feature, which indicates the presence of intact magnetofossils in all representative samples. The morphologies observed by TEM are primarily equant and elongated, with minimal or no bullet-shaped (magnetite) magnetofossils. Analysis further reveals a widespread distribution of magnetofossils in the mud areas of the Bohai Sea, North Yellow Sea, and South Yellow Sea, with proportions (contribution to SIRM; SIRM is defined as the remanent magnetization that remains constant as the external magnetic field increases) of <32.5 %, 40.9 % ∼ 44.6 %, and 59.9 % ∼ 66.5 %, respectively. Despite the presence of non-biogenic single domain magnetite, the proportion of magnetofossils can be estimated by the χARM/SIRM value, as they are positively correlated. The surface sedimentary environment of these mud areas is primarily suboxic and characterized by abundant dissolved iron, which facilitate the formation of magnetofossils by magnetotactic bacteria (MTB). It is unlikely that the surface sedimentary environment becomes sulphidic, thereby enabling the preservation of magnetofossils after their formation. The redox state of the study area, crucial for magnetofossil formation, is mainly controlled by the total organic carbon (TOC) content. From north to south, the higher proportion of magnetofossils is coupled with higher TOC content, possibly due to the intensified reducing degree of the suboxic environment, promoting MTB proliferation and thus forming more magnetofossils. The mechanisms governing the formation and preservation of magnetofossils proposed in this study may also be applicable to geological records.

长期以来,黄海和渤海大陆架沉积物中的磁化石一直被忽视。基于对 88 个表层沉积物(0-10 厘米深)的磁性结果、一阶反转曲线(FORC)图、6 个代表性样品的等温剩磁(IRM)获取曲线以及 2 个样品的透射电子显微镜(TEM)观察,阐明了该地区磁化石的形成和保存机制。FORC 图始终显示出明显的中心脊特征,这表明所有代表性样本中都存在完整的磁化石。用 TEM 观察到的形态主要是等长和拉长,极少或根本没有子弹形(磁铁矿)磁化石。分析进一步揭示了磁化石在渤海、北黄海和南黄海泥区的广泛分布,其比例(对 SIRM 的贡献;SIRM 定义为随着外磁场的增加而保持不变的剩磁)分别为 <32.5%、40.9 % ∼ 44.6 % 和 59.9 % ∼ 66.5 %。尽管存在非生物成因的单域磁铁矿,但磁化石的比例可通过χARM/SIRM 值估算,因为两者呈正相关。这些泥区的表层沉积环境主要是亚缺氧环境,溶解铁丰富,有利于磁生细菌(MTB)形成磁化石。地表沉积环境不太可能变成硫酸盐化,从而使磁化石在形成后得以保存。研究区域的氧化还原状态对磁化石的形成至关重要,主要受总有机碳(TOC)含量的控制。从北到南,磁化石的比例越高,TOC 含量越高,这可能是由于亚氧化环境的还原程度加强,促进了 MTB 的增殖,从而形成了更多的磁化石。本研究提出的磁化石形成和保存机制可能也适用于地质记录。

The archipelagic aprons of the large deep-sea seamounts of the northwestern Pacific Ocean (NWPO) show potential areas for significant reserves of ferromanganese nodules (FMNs). This study used datasets such as depth, backscatter intensity (BI), and optical coverage in conjunction with mineralogical, element geochemical, Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic, and chronological analyses of FMNs of the Suda Guyot (SG), which was located on the central area of the Marcus-Wake seamounts, in the NWPO. The results indicated a Y-shaped distribution of the deposit on the northern apron of the SG. Landslides predated the mineralization processes of the FMN deposit, and the ubiquitous channels in the apron had largely minimal influence on the distribution of nodules. Current mineralization of the deposit has been ongoing for ∼10 Myrs. Continuous weakening of the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) resulted in a gradual decrease in bottom water oxygen contents around the SG. This in turn resulted in a decrease in cryptocrystalline Fe-vernadite (δ-MnO2) and elemental contents associated with δ-MnO2 of FMNs, such as Mo, Te, and Tl. Meanwhile, the contribution of Asian dust to the study area increased, leading to increased Fe, which in turn increased amorphous ferrihydrite (FeOOH), and FeOOH-associated elements such as Ti, Pb, and Th. Productivity gradually increased to its peak value around 4–5 Myrs ago, leading to similar trends in REY, Ba, and U. REY contents exhibited a certain correlation with water depth around the SG. The results of this study suggest that the Carbonate Compensation Depth (CCD) variation resulted in higher content of REY of the FMNs in the shallower apron.

西北太平洋(NWPO)大型深海海山的群岛围岩是铁锰结核(FMNs)重要储量的潜在区域。这项研究利用深度、反向散射强度(BI)和光学覆盖率等数据集,结合矿物学、元素地球化学、Sr-Nd-Pb 同位素和年代学分析,对西北太平洋马库斯-威克海隆中心区域的苏达古约特(SG)的铁锰结核进行了分析。结果表明,矿床呈 "Y "字形分布在 SG 的北部围岩上。山体滑坡早于 FMN 矿床的成矿过程,而地坪上无处不在的通道对结核分布的影响基本上微乎其微。该矿床目前的成矿过程已经持续了 10 年。南极底层水(AABW)的持续减弱导致 SG 周围底层水氧含量逐渐下降。这反过来又导致隐晶铁钒矿(δ-MnO2)和与 FMNs 的 δ-MnO2 相关的元素含量(如 Mo、Te 和 Tl)的减少。同时,亚洲灰尘对研究区域的贡献增加,导致铁增加,进而增加了无定形铁水物(FeOOH)以及与 FeOOH 相关的元素,如 Ti、Pb 和 Th。生产率在 4-5 Myrs 前逐渐上升到峰值,导致 REY、Ba 和 U 含量也呈类似趋势。该研究结果表明,碳酸盐补偿深度(CCD)的变化导致较浅地层的调频核中REY含量较高。

The role of liquefaction in the evolution of shallow submarine canyon heads from a geotechnical perspective: A case study of the Garrucha Canyon (SE Mediterranean) 从岩土工程角度看液化在浅层海底峡谷头演变过程中的作用:加鲁查峡谷(地中海东南部)案例研究

This work aims to establish the role of liquefaction in a shallow submarine environment defined by a canyon head reaching the coast. The study area is the Garrucha submarine canyon head, which is located in the western Mediterranean Sea.
The potential of liquefaction is approached empirically by two methods in parallel, undrained cyclic direct simple shear (UCDSS) test and piezocone penetration test (CPTu) analyses. For both approaches, considering the regional earthquake records, a cyclic load linked to Mw ≤ 6.5 earthquake events or a maximum ground surface acceleration amax of 0.25 g is considered.
The sediment samples analysed are nonplastic sands with low silt/clay contents and can be defined as liquefiable. Geotechnical analysis reveals a high probability of triggering liquefaction in this kind of sediment at depths greater than 3 m below the seafloor. CPTu records are used to assess and improve the liquefaction model for the study area by defining 3 different stratigraphic configurations or liquefiable conditions: uniformly liquefiable, interbedded liquifiable and nonliquefiable.
This work highlights the importance of liquefaction—a process normally underestimated in submarine environments—in the downslope transport of sediment from the upper part of a canyon and, more generally, in canyon head evolution with different potential morphosedimentary consequences.
这项研究旨在确定液化在峡谷顶端到达海岸的浅海海底环境中的作用。研究区域是位于地中海西部的加鲁查(Garrucha)海底峡谷头。液化的可能性是通过两种并行的方法,即不排水循环直接单剪(UCDSS)试验和压陷穿透试验(CPTu)分析,根据经验得出的。在这两种方法中,考虑到区域地震记录,循环载荷与 Mw ≤ 6.5 地震事件或 0.25 g 的最大地表加速度 amax 相关联。岩土工程分析表明,在海底以下 3 米以上的深度,这类沉积物引发液化的可能性很高。CPTu 记录用于评估和改进研究区域的液化模型,定义了 3 种不同的地层结构或可液化条件:均匀可液化、层间可液化和不可液化。这项工作强调了液化--通常在海底环境中被低估的过程--在峡谷上部沉积物的下坡运移中的重要性,更广泛地说,是在峡谷头演变中的重要性,其潜在的形态沉积后果各不相同。

The Late Holocene evolution of the Adra Delta subaqueous system (Northern Alboran Sea): Seismic-stratigraphic and geomorphic evidence of millennial scale climatic and anthropic effects 阿德拉三角洲水下系统(北阿尔博兰海)全新世晚期的演变:千年尺度气候和人类活动影响的地震地层学和地貌学证据

The formation and development of a small Mediterranean deltaic system are investigated through a primary seismic stratigraphic interpretation of a high-resolution seismic profile network, combined with multiple bathymetric data (including multibeam bathymetric imagery) and collated with shallow sediment cores collected with a vibro-corer device.

The submarine delta of the Adra River is divided into a basal patchy seismic unit and five wedge-shaped younger seismic units that are related to the Holocene highstand stabilization. Limited age control indicates that the two uppermost seismic units are very recent, most likely related to a dearth of fluvial fluxes led by channel deviations and by sediment retention. The formation of the three older seismic units is correlated to three humid periods during the Middle Holocene, Late Holocene and Little Ice Age, under a general context of progressive aridification of southeastern Iberia.

The stacking patterns and spatial distribution of individual seismic units document a history of episodic progradation of successive prodeltaic lobes, with a long-term evolution mediated by climatically-induced changes in the river basin and more recent anthropogenic interventions. Overall, the subaqueous deltaic system registers the complete modification of a deltaic system that evolves from a fluvial-dominated delta to recent wave-dominated wedges. In between, the deltaic system exhibits a progressive asymmetric character, due to the instauration of Atlantic waters on the shelf and their subsequent eastward redistribution. The Adra deltaic system is proposed as an outstanding example of a small deltaic system that reacts almost immediately to the complex interaction between natural changes in the system and anthropogenic interventions in the drainage basin.

通过对高分辨率地震剖面网络进行主要地震地层学解释,结合多种测深数据(包括多波束测深图像),并与使用振动凿岩机采集的浅层沉积物岩心进行核对,研究了地中海小型三角洲系统的形成与发展。阿德拉河海底三角洲分为一个基底斑状地震单元和五个楔形较年轻地震单元,这些单元与全新世高地稳定有关。有限的年龄控制表明,最上层的两个地震单元是近期形成的,很可能与河道偏离和沉积物滞留导致的河道流量匮乏有关。在伊比利亚东南部逐渐干旱化的大背景下,三个较早地震单元的形成与全新世中期、全新世晚期和小冰河时期的三个潮湿时期相关联。单个地震单元的堆积模式和空间分布记录了连续前三角洲裂片的偶发性渐进历史,以及由气候引起的流域变化和最近的人为干预所促成的长期演变。总体而言,水下三角洲系统记录了三角洲系统从以河流为主的三角洲到最近以波浪为主的楔形三角洲的完整演变过程。在这两者之间,三角洲系统呈现出一种渐进的不对称特征,这是由于陆架上大西洋水域的注入及其随后的向东重新分布造成的。阿德拉三角洲系统是小型三角洲系统的一个杰出范例,它几乎立即对系统的自然变化和排水流域的人为干预之间的复杂互动做出反应。

Estuarine dams and weirs are constructed in estuaries for reasons such as blocking the salt intrusion, securing freshwater, and stabilizing upstream water levels. While they can provide many social benefits, they can also alter estuarine physical and sedimentary processes. How this occurs and their relative importance to global estuaries and deltas are not well understood. To address this, we perform and extensive remote sensing and literature analysis. Remote sensing was conducted based on a global river database of 1531 rivers representing the largest rivers cumulatively draining 85 % of the landmass discharging into the global ocean. It was found that 9.7 % of global estuaries and deltas are currently affected by estuarine dams or weirs acting as the upstream limit of salt, tide, or storm surge intrusion. If we include supplementary examples, overall 220 estuaries with estuarine dams or weirs were identified and confirmed by literature review. These structures are found worldwide and are prominent in developed or developing countries in Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. The number of estuarine dams and weirs has increased rapidly since the 1800s with a peak in construction rate in the 1970s, particularly due to construction in Asia. Estuarine dams and weirs are found at the river mouths of both small and large watersheds. Most of these estuarine structures are located at x = 0–100 km inland from the mouth and their discharge intervals can be continuous, daily – weekly, seasonal, or interannual. Based on a quantified classification by geomorphology, estuarine dams and weirs are found most in river mouths which are wave-dominated followed by tide-dominated and then river-dominated. Estuarine dams and weirs can cause significant changes to the quantity and timing of freshwater discharge, tides, stratification, turbidity, sedimentation, oxygen conditions, phytoplankton blooms, and fish migration. We synthesize this current knowledge on estuarine dams and weirs and propose a conceptual model for physical and geomorphological change in mixed wave- and river-dominated and tide-dominated estuaries with estuarine dams.

在河口修建河口水坝和围堰的原因包括阻挡盐分入侵、确保淡水供应和稳定上游水位。虽然它们能带来许多社会效益,但也会改变河口的物理和沉积过程。人们对这种情况是如何发生的以及它们对全球河口和三角洲的相对重要性还不甚了解。为了解决这个问题,我们进行了广泛的遥感和文献分析。遥感以全球河流数据库为基础,该数据库包含 1531 条河流,这些河流代表了累积排入全球海洋的 85% 陆地面积的最大河流。研究发现,目前全球有 9.7% 的河口和三角洲受到河口大坝或围堰的影响,它们是盐、潮汐或风暴潮侵入的上游界限。如果将补充实例包括在内,经文献审查确认,共有 220 个河口有河口水坝或围堰。这些结构遍布全球,主要分布在亚洲、欧洲、北美洲和大洋洲的发达国家或发展中国家。自 19 世纪以来,河口水坝和围堰的数量迅速增加,并在 20 世纪 70 年代达到建设高峰,尤其是在亚洲。河口水坝和围堰分布在大小流域的河口。这些河口结构大多位于距河口 0-100 公里的内陆地区,其泄流间隔可以是连续的、每天-每周的、季节性的或年际性的。根据地貌学的量化分类,河口水坝和围堰大多位于河口,这些水坝和围堰以波浪为主,其次是潮汐,然后是河流。河口水坝和围堰会对淡水排放的数量和时间、潮汐、分层、浊度、沉积、氧气条件、浮游植物繁殖和鱼类洄游产生重大影响。我们综合了当前有关河口大坝和围堰的知识,并提出了一个概念模型,用于解释有河口大坝的以波浪和河流为主的混合河口以及以潮汐为主的河口的物理和地貌变化。

<div><p>The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 386, Japan Trench Paleoseismology, represents the first utilization of giant piston coring (GPC) within scientific ocean research drilling. This allowed for a Mission Specific Platform (MSP) multi-site, multi-hole, shallow subsurface coring in an ultra-deep water subduction zone trench. The primary objective of the expedition was to investigate the concept of submarine paleoseismology in the Japan Trench, which involves studying long-term records of deposits in the deep sea that can provide insights into past earthquake events. In this paper, we compile and interpret initial shipboard data and results to (1) establish first-order event stratigraphic correlation of thick event beds (> 50 cm in thickness) between sites, (2) test previously published event-stratigraphic predictions of earthquake-related event deposits as proposed based on high-resolution hydro-acoustic subbottom profiler (SBP) data, and (3) derive SBP-scale event deposits age estimates to (4) discuss the advantages and limitations of giant piston coring for scientific drilling operations and the potential of new event stratigraphy results for advancing submarine paleoseismology.</p><p>The findings of the study identified a total of 77 SBP-scale event beds across 15 sites along a trench-parallel transect spanning over 600 km. These event beds exhibit clear expressions in SBP data, with approximately 49 % matching precisely with SBP units previously identified by Kioka et al. (2019a). For the remaining 51 % of SBP-scale event beds, thin, acoustically-transparent bodies were observed between high-amplitude horizons, for which SBP-based seismic interpretation alone would not be definitive. Consequently, the study concluded that the SBP-scale event-stratigraphy observed in IODP 386 cores validates the event-bed mapping conducted by Kioka et al. (2019a) and improves SBP interpretation for event beds in the 0.5 to 1 m thickness range.</p><p>The initial age constraints obtained from shipboard radiolarian biostratigraphy enable us to provide rough estimates of event ages by linearly interpolating between previously dated events occurring less than 2000 years ago and a datum around 11,000 years ago reported in four boreholes from trench basins in the Southern, Central, and Northern Japan Trench. Inter-site stratigraphic correlation reveals distinct SBP-scale event stratigraphies for the trench segments located to the north and south of the structurally complex “boundary area” at approximately 39.3–39.4°N, which is hypothesized to potentially act as a persistent rupture barrier for megathrust earthquakes. We observe more frequent but thinner event deposits in the Southern and Central Japan Trench, and fewer but thicker event beds in the Northern Japan Trench. This spatial variation may be related to the different seismogenic behavior of the various asperities along the Japan Trench megathrust and/or to differences in the re
国际大洋发现计划(IODP)第 386 号考察项目 "日本海沟古地震学 "首次在大洋科考钻探中使用了巨型活塞取芯技术(GPC)。这使得在超深水俯冲带海沟进行多地点、多钻孔、浅层次岩心取样成为可能。这次考察的主要目的是研究日本海沟海底古地震学的概念,即研究深海沉积物的长期记录,从而了解过去的地震事件。在本文中,我们对最初的船上数据和结果进行了汇编和解释,以便:(1)在不同地点之间建立厚事件层(厚度达 50 厘米)的一阶事件地层相关性;(2)在不同地点之间建立厚事件层的二阶事件地层相关性;(3)在不同地点之间建立厚事件层的三阶事件地层相关性;50厘米)之间的一阶事件地层相关性;(2) 检验之前发表的基于高分辨率水声海底剖面仪(SBP)数据提出的地震相关事件沉积的事件地层预测;(3) 得出SBP尺度的事件沉积年龄估计;(4) 讨论巨型活塞取芯在科学钻探作业中的优势和局限性,以及新的事件地层学结果在推进海底古地震学方面的潜力。研究结果发现,在跨度超过 600 公里的海沟平行断面上的 15 个地点共发现 77 个 SBP 规模的事件岩床。这些事件床在 SBP 数据中表现清晰,其中约 49% 与 Kioka 等人(2019a)之前确定的 SBP 单元完全吻合。对于其余 51% 的 SBP 规模事件岩床,在高振幅地层之间观察到了薄而透声的岩体,对于这些岩床,仅基于 SBP 的地震解释并不确定。因此,研究得出结论,IODP 386岩芯中观察到的SBP尺度事件地层验证了Kioka等人(2019a)进行的事件床测绘,并改进了0.5至1米厚度范围内事件床的SBP解释。通过船上放射虫生物地层学获得的初步年龄约束,使我们能够通过线性插值以前发生在距今不到2000年前的事件与日本南部、中部和北部海沟盆地的四个钻孔中报告的距今约11000年前的基准之间的事件年龄,对事件年龄进行粗略估计。地层间相关性显示,位于北纬 39.3-39.4° 左右结构复杂的 "边界地区 "以北和以南的海沟区段具有不同的 SBP 尺度事件地层。我们在日本南部和中部海沟观察到更频繁但更薄的事件沉积,在日本北部海沟观察到更少但更厚的事件岩床。这种空间上的差异可能与日本海沟大地壳沿线不同凸面的不同致震行为有关,也可能与斜坡沉积物对地震震动的不同反应有关。然而,本文提出的 SBP 尺度的研究过于简单,无法有力地应用 "海底古地震学 "方法。来自 IODP GPC 的广泛而高质量的数据集,加上本文介绍的令人鼓舞的初步相关结果,使我们假设,进一步的详细研究可以确定和描述微岩层层面的事件沉积动力学,完善沉积物的出处,并限制古地震学解释中评估同步性所必需的精确事件年龄。这些研究还将有力地探索沿岩层的相关性或变化,促进从日本海沟事件地层中提取古地震信号。
