Reversals in wave-generated longshore currents in surf zones occur at different temporal and spatial scales. Along coastlines with tidal channel openings with well-developed mouth bars or ebb-tidal deltas, the reversal mechanism is often attributed to the mouth bar – induced refraction of the shoaling waves. This reversal mechanism is characterized by convergence of longshore currents from the adjoining surf zones at the mouth of the tidal channel. Simultaneous half-hourly monitoring of wave-generated longshore currents over 50 successive (daylight) semi-diurnal tidal cycles in beach surf zones adjoining the Qua Iboe River estuary, S.E coast of Nigeria showed the above reversal pattern during flooding stage only. The converse pattern, where the surf zone longshore currents diverged away from the mouth of the estuary, was observed during ebbing stage. Both surf zones showed flow direction inversion with respect to each other, with velocity vector correlation coefficient r > − 0.8 in over 80 % of the data set. Instances of comparable flow direction (<10 %) were also recorded. Tidal processes are implicated in the documented results. Direction-averaged longshore current velocities, typically in the 15–60 cm/s range, attained highest values in both surf zones at about spring tide phase. Also, tidal cycle-residual longshore current maximum and minimum velocities occurred close to spring and neap tide, respectively. Only 30 % of the residual velocities were eastward directed in the up-drift surf zone as against 80 % in the down-drift counterpart. Given the prevailing southwesterly waves, the present results negate the assertion that reversal in longshore current direction in this offset shoreline setting is exclusively a consequence of wave refraction by mouth bar morphology. The reversing pattern of the longshore currents over a tidal cycle is well explained by incorporating interacting effects of shoaling waves with tide-induced oscillations in water level as well as the estuarine flow.

波浪在冲浪区产生的长岸流逆转发生在不同的时间和空间尺度上。在潮汐通道开口处有发达的口岸或退潮三角洲的海岸线上,逆转机制通常归因于口岸引起的浅滩波折射。这种逆转机制的特点是来自潮汐通道口毗邻冲浪区的长岸流汇聚在一起。在尼日利亚东南海岸 Qua Iboe 河河口附近的海滩冲浪区,对波浪产生的沿岸长流进行了 50 个连续(白天)半昼夜潮汐周期的半小时同步监测,结果表明只有在洪水期才会出现上述逆转模式。相反,在退潮阶段,冲浪区的长岸流偏离了河口。两个冲浪区的流向相互反转,80%以上的数据集的速度矢量相关系数为 r > - 0.8。此外,还记录到流向相当的情况(10%)。记录的结果与潮汐过程有关。方向平均长岸流速通常在 15-60 厘米/秒之间,在两个冲浪区都达到了最高值,大约在春潮阶段。此外,潮汐周期残余长岸流的最大和最小流速也分别出现在春潮和落潮附近。在上漂冲浪区,只有 30% 的残余流速是向东的,而在下漂冲浪区,则有 80% 的残余流速是向东的。考虑到盛行西南波,本研究结果否定了在这种偏移的海岸线环境中,沿岸长流方向的逆转完全是由口杆形态对波浪的折射造成的这一说法。潮汐周期中沿岸长流的逆转模式可以很好地解释由潮汐引起的水位摆动和河口流的相互作用。

The evolution of oceanic temperatures between the Turonian and the K/T boundary indicates a long-term cooling coincident with a decrease of atmospheric CO2 levels, yet the cause of climate cooling at that time still remains debated. In this study, we evaluated the possible implication of enhanced silicate weathering as a sink for atmospheric CO2 by applying paired NdHf isotope measurements to detrital clay records from the West African margin. The use of this novel proxy for chemical weathering intensity (ΔɛHf(t)clay) was complemented by additional mineralogical and major-trace element analyses in order to investigate the variability of mechanical erosion patterns and further explore potential linkages between tectonics, weathering and climate during the late Cretaceous.

Our ΔɛHf(t)clay data suggest more intense silicate weathering on the West African Craton during the Santonian to the middle Campanian period, coincident with enhanced physical erosional inputs as inferred from higher Quartz/Clays and Feldspar/Clays ratios. This observation suggests that the shift towards intensified chemical weathering at that time was driven by enhanced mechanical erosion, possibly related to a moderate tectonic event on the West African craton. Evidence for increasing kaolinite contents and higher ΔɛHf(t)clay values during the Maastrichtian point towards more hydrolysing conditions, inducing either destabilization of older Mesozoic lateritic material or favouring the development of kaolinite-rich soils.

Overall, this study was compared with several new data of chemical weathering evolution along the south Atlantic margins, adding new insights on tectonic-weathering-climate interactions during the late Cretaceous, suggesting a possible link between silicate weathering feedbacks and global cooling at that time.

从都龙纪到 K/T 边界之间的海洋温度演变表明,在大气二氧化碳水平下降的同时,气候也在长期变冷,但当时气候变冷的原因仍存在争议。在本研究中,我们通过对西非边缘的碎屑粘土记录进行成对的钕(NdHf)同位素测量,评估了硅酸盐风化增强作为大气二氧化碳吸收汇的可能影响。在使用这种新的化学风化强度(ΔɛHf(t)粘土)代用指标的同时,还进行了其他矿物学和主要痕量元素分析,以研究机械侵蚀模式的变化,并进一步探索白垩纪晚期构造、风化和气候之间的潜在联系。我们的ΔɛHf(t)粘土数据表明,在桑顿纪至坎帕尼亚中期,西非克拉通的硅酸盐风化更为剧烈,与此同时,根据较高的石英/粘土和长石/粘土比率推断,物理侵蚀输入也有所增强。这一观察结果表明,当时化学风化作用的加强是由机械侵蚀作用的增强所驱动的,可能与西非克拉通的中等构造事件有关。在马斯特里赫特时期,高岭石含量增加,ΔɛHf(t)粘土值升高,这些证据表明当时的水解条件更加严重,导致中生代较古老的红土物质失稳,或有利于富含高岭石土壤的形成。总之,这项研究与大西洋南缘化学风化演变的一些新数据进行了比较,为白垩纪晚期构造-风化-气候之间的相互作用提供了新的见解,表明硅酸盐风化反馈与当时的全球变冷之间可能存在联系。

The Quaternary sediments in the northwestern South China Sea (NW-SCS) provide valuable information about provenance, climate and sea level changes. However, the correlation between the geochemical records in marine sediments and these influencing factors remains less understood in the NW-SCS. Two wells penetrated Quaternary sediments on the shelf and shelf margin of the NW-SCS and provide an excellent dataset. In this study, the major, trace, and rare earth elements in the sediments were analyzed to reveal the Quaternary provenance changes that correlate with the climatic Middle Pleistocene transition (MPT). These results indicate that the core sediments were mainly derived from felsic source rocks and the degree of chemical weathering in the source areas is relatively low (CIA averaged at 58). The Quaternary provenance of the NW-SCS did not undergo significant changes, recording mixed sedimentation from the Red River, Hainan Island, and central Vietnamese sources. The felsic source rocks and negative Eu anomaly indicated the shelf area received sediments primarily from the Red River and Hainan Island. However, a positive Eu anomaly on the shelf margin suggests additional contributions from mafic rocks sourced from central Vietnam. During the MPT (1.3–1.4 to 0.8–0.9 Ma), the dominant periodicity of climate cycles changed from a 40 kyr obliquity cycle to a 100 kyr eccentricity cycle; the cooling climate led to a slight weaking in chemical weathering and a minor decrease in sediment supply from terrestrial sources. After the MPT, the mixed sourced sediments in the shelf and shelf margin areas of the NW-SCS likely suffered from multiple hydrodynamic forces under the influence of the Pleistocene high-frequency and high-amplitude sea level fluctuations. These climate induced changes led to significant fluctuations in element content that provide new insights into Quaternary sources and climatic events in the NW-SCS.

中国南海西北部的第四纪沉积物提供了有关产地、气候和海平面变化的宝贵信息。然而,在中国南海西北部,海洋沉积物中的地球化学记录与这些影响因素之间的相关性仍然不太清楚。西北太平洋大陆架和大陆架边缘的两口井穿透了第四纪沉积物,提供了极好的数据集。本研究对沉积物中的主要、痕量和稀土元素进行了分析,以揭示与中更新世气候转变(MPT)相关的第四纪出处变化。这些结果表明,岩芯沉积物主要来自长英质源岩,源区的化学风化程度相对较低(CIA 平均值为 58)。西南大陆架西北部的第四纪成因没有发生重大变化,记录了来自红河、海南岛和越南中部的混合沉积。长石源岩和负欧氏异常表明大陆架地区的沉积物主要来自红河和海南岛。然而,陆架边缘的正欧姆异常表明,还有来自越南中部的黑云母岩。在大跃进期间(1.3-1.4 至 0.8-0.9 Ma),气候周期的主要周期从 40 kyr 的斜率周期变为 100 kyr 的偏心率周期;气候变冷导致化学风化作用略有减弱,来自陆地的沉积物供应略有减少。MPT之后,在更新世高频率、高振幅海平面波动的影响下,西北-南大陆架陆架和陆架边缘地区的混合来源沉积物可能遭受了多种流体动力的影响。这些由气候引起的变化导致了元素含量的显著波动,为了解西北-南中国海的第四纪来源和气候事件提供了新的视角。

Sediment sorting within a relatively wave-exposed and sandy subtidal seagrass (Zostera marina) meadow 潮下海草(Zostera marina)草甸中相对暴露在海浪中的沙质沉积物分类

Seagrasses impact on sedimentary intertidal and subtidal ecosystems by affecting local hydrodynamics, geomorphology and sediment properties. Their influence on hydrodynamics is to reduce flow velocities in their canopies, and this leads to increased net sedimentation rates and reduction of the grain size. Most investigations of the seagrass-hydrodynamics-sediment feedback system has been carried out over silt and fine-sand beds under tide-dominated conditions, mostly in the intertidal zone. Here, we use sedimentological data from a relatively wave-exposed and subtidal seagrass (Zostera marina) meadow in the Isles of Scilly with a fine-to-medium sand bed and show that the sand within the seagrass meadow is indeed finer than in adjacent, unvegetated regions. However, in contrast to previous studies, this is not due to increased mud/silt content within the seagrass meadow, but an almost 0.1-mm shift in the median sediment size across the sand fraction from 0.25 mm (fine to medium sand) to 0.35 mm (medium sand). The studied seagrass meadow is characterised by a distinct spatial structure comprising of vegetated ‘ridges’ and bare sand ‘valleys’. Even the bare sand valleys within the seagrass meadow are characterised by significantly coarser sand than the adjacent vegetated ridges, providing further confirmation of the efficiency of sediment sorting by wave processes that takes place within seagrass meadows. It is concluded that any numerical modelling involving sediment transport processes associated with seagrass environments must account for variability in the textural characteristics.

海草通过影响当地的水动力、地貌和沉积物特性,对沉积潮间带和潮下带生态系统产生影响。海草对流体力学的影响是降低海草冠层中的流速,从而导致净沉积速率增加和粒径减小。对海草-水动力-沉积物反馈系统的大多数研究都是在潮汐主导条件下的淤泥床和细沙床进行的,主要是在潮间带。在这里,我们使用了来自斯illy 岛一个相对暴露于海浪的潮下海草(Zostera marina)草甸的沉积学数据,该草甸上有中细沙床,结果表明海草草甸内的沙子确实比邻近未植被区域的沙子更细。不过,与以往研究不同的是,这并不是因为海草草甸内的泥/淤泥含量增加,而是整个沙粒部分的沉积物粒径中值发生了近 0.1 毫米的变化,从 0.25 毫米(细沙到中沙)变为 0.35 毫米(中沙)。所研究的海草草甸具有明显的空间结构特征,包括植被 "山脊 "和裸沙 "山谷"。即使是海草草甸中的裸沙山谷,其沙质也比相邻的植被山脊粗得多,这进一步证实了海草草甸中海浪过程对沉积物分选的效率。结论是,任何涉及与海草环境相关的沉积物输运过程的数值建模都必须考虑到纹理特征的变化。

Relationships between channelization, sedimentation and sea level in the deltaic environment of the ancient harbor of Lattara, southern France 法国南部拉塔拉古港三角洲环境中河道化、沉积作用和海平面之间的关系

The impacts of coastal changes and human land use on depositional processes, ecological conditions, geomorphic evolution and harbor works at the archaeological site of Lattara, one of the oldest cities of the northwestern Mediterranean built in a deltaic environment, were investigated from a multi-proxy approach based on sedimentological, biological and geochronological analyses. A distributary channel connected to the ancient harbor of Lattara was deepened and channelized around 200 cal BCE. The drastic increase in water depth caused by channelization was associated with increased flow competence and bedload transport, and could have improved navigation in the harbor area. By contrast, high accumulations of anthropogenic deposits in the channelized stream from the second century CE seem to have negatively affected sediment transport conditions by reducing bedload flux. The construction of a cobble pavement on the western bank of this channelized stream in the fourth century CE was contemporaneous with a sharp decrease in bedload transport showing an abrupt transition to a low energy environment such as in abandoned channels. A drainage ditch was then dug in the deposits of the channelized stream during the Medieval Warm Period, in a context of land use intensification and increased river flooding that led to the deposition of coarser sediments.

拉塔拉考古遗址是建在三角洲环境中的地中海西北部最古老的城市之一,研究人员采用基于沉积学、生物学和地质年代学分析的多代理方法,调查了沿海变化和人类土地利用对该遗址的沉积过程、生态条件、地貌演变和港口工程的影响。公元前 200 年左右,连接拉塔拉古港的一条支流河道被加深并渠道化。渠化造成的水深急剧增加与水流能力和基质运移的增加有关,并可能改善了港口地区的航运状况。与此相反,公元二世纪以来渠化河道中大量堆积的人为沉积物似乎对沉积物的迁移条件产生了负面影响,减少了基质通量。公元四世纪,在这条渠化溪流的西岸修建了卵石路面,与此同时,河床载荷迁移量急剧下降,显示出突然过渡到低能量环境(如废弃的河道)。随后,在中世纪温暖时期,人们在渠化溪流的沉积物中开挖了一条排水沟,当时土地利用加剧,河水泛滥,导致更粗糙的沉积物沉积。

A combined laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) study was used to map 49 elements in four FeMn precipitates produced from three different genetic processes (hydrogenetic, hydrothermal, and mixed-type hydrogenetic-hydrothermal) in samples obtained from the southern Mariana Arc. Results show Mn-oxide minerals are consistently found to be associated with Ba, Mo, Sb, V, Zn, and the rare earth elements and yttrium (REY), excluding Ce, whereas Fe-oxyhydroxide minerals are primarily associated with Ti, Co, Cr, Cu, Nb, and Pb. Element distributions in FeMn precipitates from the southern Mariana Arc differ from deposits formed in other environments; notably, there is a decoupling of As and Sb, and redox-sensitive elements are more variable than non-redox-sensitive elements. Samples previously classified as either hydrogenetic or hydrothermal in origin, based on bulk geochemical data, show characteristics of both at higher resolution. Combining high resolution in-situ data with genetic classification discrimination diagrams reveals more ambiguity in metal and metalloid origin than previously thought. Mariana Arc FeMn precipitates can be separated into two formation sub-types (hydrothermal or mixed hydrothermal/hydrogenetic) based on textural and compositional differences, e.g., differences in Ce/Ce and Y/Ho values and relative variations in (Zr + Y + Ce) versus (Co + Ni) versus (Mn + Fe). Improved classification and knowledge of how fast-growing hydrothermal FeMn precipitates form may help us identify a relatively renewable critical metal resource.

利用激光烧蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱(LA-ICP-MS)和能量色散 X 射线光谱(EDS)联合研究,对从马里亚纳弧南部获得的样品中三种不同成因过程(水成因、热液成因和混合型水成因-热液成因)产生的四种铁锰沉淀物中的 49 种元素进行了测绘。结果表明,锰氧化物矿物始终与钡、钼、锑、钒、锌以及稀土元素和钇(REY)(不包括铈)有关,而铁氧化物矿物则主要与钛、钴、铬、铜、铌和铅有关。马里亚纳弧南部铁锰沉淀物中的元素分布与其他环境中形成的矿床不同;值得注意的是,砷和锑脱钩,氧化还原敏感元素比非氧化还原敏感元素变化更大。以前根据大块地球化学数据划分为水成岩或热液成岩的样本,在更高分辨率下显示出两者的特征。将高分辨率原位数据与成因分类判别图相结合,可以发现金属和类金属成因的模糊性比以前想象的要大。马里亚纳弧铁锰沉淀物可根据纹理和成分差异(例如,Ce/Ce 和 Y/Ho 值的差异以及(Zr + Y + Ce)相对于(Co + Ni)相对于(Mn + Fe)的相对变化)分为两种形成亚型(热液或混合热液/热液)。改进对快速生长的热液铁锰沉淀物形成方式的分类和了解,可能有助于我们确定一种相对可再生的关键金属资源。

Multiproxy palaeoenvironmental analyses represent a promising tool for complex reconstructions of continent-sea or air-sea interactions in shallow marine environments. This is in particular illustrated by the case of strong climatic variations in the late Pleistocene to mid-Holocene. A unique combination of geochemical proxies (143Nd/144Nd, 87Sr/86Sr, δ18O and δ13C isotope analyses, n-alkane analysis and biomarker study) together with micropalaeontological data (foraminifera, calcareous nannoplankton and diatoms) allowed to precisely characterise two marine floodings (mid-Holocene and late Pleistocene) in the Zanzibar Channel (NW Indian Ocean, Tanzania). The climate of the late Pleistocene interval was arid compared to the Holocene. The fully oligotrophic environment characteristic of the late Pleistocene flooding (∼115–130 ka) was episodically interrupted by intervals of intense rainfall with episodes of increased nutrient input during the mid-Holocene (∼5–10 ka). The dominance of seaweed meadows in the Holocene and late Pleistocene contrasts with the modern environment dominated by seagrass ecosystems. Relatively non-radiogenic εNd signatures in the Zanzibar Channel during the Holocene and late Pleistocene indicate a strong influence of riverine input draining the Precambrian basement on the African mainland. The main inflow of seawater was from the south, consistent with the flow direction of the East African Coastal Current and the directions of the March to October monsoon winds. A promising tool for future applications as indicators of seagrass/seaweed meadow type ecosystems may be the presence of specific diatom taxa.

多代古环境分析是一种很有前途的工具,可用于重建浅海环境中大陆-海洋或空气-海洋的相互作用。晚更新世至全新世中期强烈的气候变异尤其说明了这一点。地球化学代用指标(143Nd/144Nd、87Sr/86Sr、δ18O 和 δ13C 同位素分析、正烷烃分析和生物标志物研究)与微古生物学数据(有孔虫、钙质浮游动物和硅藻)的独特组合,精确地描述了桑给巴尔海峡(坦桑尼亚西北印度洋)两次海洋洪水(全新世中期和更新世晚期)的特征。与全新世相比,晚更新世时期气候干旱。晚更新世洪水泛滥时期(115-130 ka)所特有的完全寡营养环境在全新世中期(5-10 ka)被强降雨间歇性打断,营养物质输入增加。全新世和更新世晚期海藻草甸占主导地位,与现代海草生态系统占主导地位的环境形成鲜明对比。全新世和晚更新世期间桑给巴尔海峡相对非放射源的εNd特征表明,非洲大陆前寒武纪基底的河流输入具有很大的影响。海水主要从南部流入,这与东非沿岸流的流向以及 3 月至 10 月季风的方向一致。作为海草/海藻草甸类型生态系统的指标,特定硅藻类群的存在可能是未来有望应用的工具。

Defining an exposure index along the Schleswig-Holstein Baltic Sea coast 确定石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因波罗的海沿岸的暴露指数
IF 2.6 3区 地球科学 Q2 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-08-13 DOI: 10.1016/j.margeo.2024.107382

A wind exposure index (EI), which indicates the main physical driver of a coastal system, was developed along the Schleswig-Holstein Baltic Sea (SH) coast – Germany, to demonstrate the highly dynamic coastal stretches (i.e., potential erosion hotspots). The approach used three steps to define more accurate EIs. Initially, a representative wind year (RWY), which has similar physical characteristics as in the long-term data, was defined by analysing measured wind data from 2000 to 2019 at four stations distributed in the entire area of interest. The RWY was identified by a statistical comparison of wind speeds in 5 classes and 36 directional sectors between summer to summer yearly wind and the overall data. The selected RWY spanned from 01.09.2016 to 31.08.2017 and showed a reasonable agreement with the overall data (Skill = 0.77 and rmsd = 0.56 m/s). Next, high spatiotemporal nearshore hydrodynamics over the RWY were predicted using a model nesting approach of two domains in Delft3D. The predicted nearshore hydrodynamics indicated fair agreements with the measured data (R2: 0.87–0.90 for water levels and 0.75–0.86 for wave heights). Finally, the predicted water level and wave height time series in the nearshore area (∼ 5 m MSL depth) were used for the analysis of the EI adopting a 2-step procedure capturing short- and long-term correlations as well as seasonal long-range dependencies of the time series. This approach allows to model the clustering behaviour of extreme values of both parameters and provides reasonable EIs along the SH coast. The exposed areas display high EIs (e.g., 1 at the east of Fehmarn), while sheltered areas and bays have low values (e.g., 0 at Eckernförde Bay). The higher the EI the stronger the coastal dynamics and thus strong erosion can be expected. Interestingly, the EI varies considerably even along the exposed coastal stretches with long fetches, which indicates the sensitivity of the EI to the local morphology, which determines the nearshore hydrodynamics. Therefore, a definition of the EI based on nearshore hydrodynamics provides an accurate index of local physical drivers of a coastal system. The developed approach can be adopted to any coast, and provides useful information on the potential erosion areas for the coastal managers.

在德国石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因波罗的海沿岸开发了风暴露指数(EI),以显示高度动 态的海岸带(即潜在的侵蚀热点)。该方法采用三个步骤来确定更准确的侵蚀指数。首先,通过分析分布在整个相关区域的四个站点 2000 年至 2019 年的实测风数据,确定一个与长期数据具有相似物理特征的代表性风年(RWY)。通过统计比较夏季至夏季全年风速与总体数据之间的 5 个等级和 36 个方向扇形的风速,确定了代表性风年。选定的 RWY 时间跨度为 2016 年 9 月 1 日至 2017 年 8 月 31 日,与总体数据显示出合理的一致性(Skill = 0.77 和 rmsd = 0.56 m/s)。接下来,利用 Delft3D 中两个域的模型嵌套方法预测了 RWY 上的高时空近岸流体力学。预测的近岸水动力与测量数据相当吻合(R2:水位为 0.87-0.90,波高为 0.75-0.86)。最后,近岸区域(MSL 深度 5 米以内)的预测水位和波高时间序列被用于 EI 分析,采用两步程序捕捉时间序列的短期和长期相关性以及季节性长程依赖性。这种方法可以模拟两个参数极端值的聚类行为,并提供合理的沿 SH 海岸的 EI。暴露区的 EI 值较高(例如,费马恩东部为 1),而遮蔽区和海湾的 EI 值较低 (例如,埃肯福德海湾为 0)。EI 越高,海岸动力就越强,因此预计会出现强烈的侵蚀。在这种情 况下,可以认为,在沿岸生态系统中,EI 是最重要的参数,因为它决定着沿岸的水动力。因此,根据近岸流体力学定义 EI,可以准确地反映沿岸系统的局部物理动因。所开发的方法可用于任何海岸,并为海岸管理者提供有关潜在侵蚀区域的有用信息。

Shelf-break glaciation and an extensive ice shelf beyond northwest Greenland at the Last Glacial Maximum 末次冰期格陵兰岛西北部的断裂冰川和大面积冰架
IF 2.6 3区 地球科学 Q2 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-08-13 DOI: 10.1016/j.margeo.2024.107375

The analysis of seafloor glacial landforms can provide important constraints on the past behaviour of ice sheets, including their extent at the Last Glacial Maximum and the controls on their subsequent retreat. The continental shelf and slope offshore of northwest Greenland have been sparsely surveyed, however, limiting our understanding of ice sheet extent and dynamics in this sector during the pre-satellite era. Here we use newly acquired high-resolution geophysical data to map and interpret the distribution of glacial landforms across the hitherto unexplored banks of northern Melville Bay and the adjacent slope and deep-sea basin. In contrast to previous conceptual models, our seafloor observations suggest that shelf-break glaciation was attained along the entire northwest Greenland margin at the Last Glacial Maximum, including beyond the shallow banks. The landforms that we map on the continental slope provide strong support for the existence of an ice shelf spanning northern Baffin Bay. Sub-ice shelf keel scours in water depths of down to 1220 m reveal that this ice shelf was at least 1100 m thick at its grounding zone. The orientation of sub-ice shelf landforms suggests that the ice shelf was fed mainly by the supply of ice to northern Baffin Bay from the Lancaster Sound Ice Stream of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The Baffin Bay ice shelf buttressed several large ice streams of the Greenland, Innuitian and Laurentide ice sheets at the Last Glacial Maximum, and its break-up may have contributed to instigating the deglacial retreat of these ice streams from the shelf edge.

对海底冰川地貌的分析可以为冰原过去的行为提供重要的制约因素,包括冰原在末次冰川最盛时期的范围以及对其随后消退的控制。然而,对格陵兰岛西北部近海大陆架和斜坡的勘测很少,这限制了我们对前卫星时代该地区冰盖范围和动态的了解。在这里,我们利用新获得的高分辨率地球物理数据,绘制并解释了迄今为止尚未勘探的梅尔维尔湾北部两岸冰川地貌的分布情况,以及邻近的斜坡和深海盆地。与之前的概念模型不同,我们的海底观测结果表明,在末次冰川极盛时期,整个格陵兰岛西北边缘都出现了陆架断裂冰川作用,包括浅滩以外的地区。我们在大陆坡上绘制的地貌为横跨巴芬湾北部的冰架的存在提供了有力的支持。在水深达 1220 米的冰架下龙骨冲刷显示,该冰架的着陆区至少有 1100 米厚。冰架下地貌的走向表明,该冰架主要由加拿大北极群岛兰开斯特湾冰流向巴芬湾北部提供的冰供给。巴芬湾冰架在末次冰川极盛时期支撑着格陵兰、因努伊特和劳伦泰德冰原的几大冰流,它的断裂可能促使这些冰流从冰架边缘退缩。

Storm surge in Spain: Factors and effects on the coast 西班牙的风暴潮:因素及对海岸的影响
IF 2.6 3区 地球科学 Q2 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-08-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.margeo.2024.107373

Storm surge is a fundamental process to understanding the behaviour of sea level. This variable, which depends on atmospheric pressure and wind action, has been widely documented. However, few studies quantify these relationships for various geographic areas. This study analyses the most influential factors in the variation of storm surges at several points on the Spanish coast. The results show that the event duration and the regional geographic factor are very relevant in the correlation of storm surge with pressure drop, so assigning a single value as has been commonly done, typically 1 cm/hPa, is an error. The Mediterranean Sea experiences a greater sensitivity to the atmospheric pressure drop than the Atlantic Ocean, with sea level rise of up to 2 or 3 cm/hPa for a storm surge event below 40 h, compared to those of 1.5 cm/hPa for the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, higher wind speeds intensify storm surge, whether it results in positive or negative superelevation. However, the storm surge does not always increase when the wind blows towards the coast but also depends on the location of the water masses and the continent. Finally, there is no perception of a growing trend of storm surges in the context of climate change in a general way. A precise knowledge of these elements will help all those agents involved in coastal protection to define more accurate alert levels, enhancing safety along the waterfront.

风暴潮是了解海平面变化的一个基本过程。这一变量取决于大气压力和风的作用,已被广泛记录。然而,很少有研究对不同地理区域的这些关系进行量化。本研究分析了西班牙海岸多处风暴潮变化中最具影响力的因素。结果表明,事件持续时间和区域地理因素与风暴潮与气压下降的相关性密切相关,因此像通常所做的那样指定一个单一值(通常为 1 厘米/hPa)是错误的。与大西洋相比,地中海对大气压降的敏感度更高,40 h 以下的风暴潮事件海平面上升可达 2 或 3 cm/hPa,而大西洋为 1.5 cm/hPa。此外,较高的风速会加剧风暴潮,无论是正向还是负向的超高。不过,风暴潮并不总是在风吹向海岸时才会增加,还取决于水团和大陆的位置。最后,从总体上看,在气候变化的背景下,风暴潮没有增长的趋势。对这些因素的准确了解将有助于所有参与海岸保护的人员确定更准确的警戒级别,从而加强海滨的安全。
