The distribution and state of subsea permafrost is largely unknown. Present maps, which rely heavily on model results, suggest that subsea permafrost is confined to the Beaufort, Siberian and Laptev seas. Here we show that discontinuous subsea permafrost exists along the Labrador coast (56 °N) under the influence of the Labrador Coastal Current. High-resolution bathymetric data reveal the presence of subsea thermokarst environments on the coastal seabed of Nain, Nunatsiavut, where an ice-rich sediment sample was recovered in July 2022 at a water depth of 27 m. Porewater analysis indicates that ground ice can persist in the sediments due to freshened submarine groundwater seepage that freezes at higher temperatures (0 °C) than seawater (−1.8 °C). The formation and preservation of subsea permafrost landforms is due to cold waters of the Labrador Coastal Current entering the coastal areas and remaining less than 0 °C for most of the year. Therefore, evidence of subsea permafrost landforms in coastal Labrador and the distribution of cold bottom water in the Northern Hemisphere suggests that subsea permafrost is likely to be preserved elsewhere in subarctic regions, especially where freshened submarine groundwater seepage elevates the freezing temperature. This highlights the potential underestimation of subsea permafrost in the world’s coastal oceans. Observations from the Labrador Coast indicate the presence of subsea permafrost landforms outside of the Arctic, suggesting a potential underestimation of subsea permafrost in the world’s oceans.
海底永久冻土的分布和状态在很大程度上是未知的。目前的地图在很大程度上依赖于模型结果,表明海底永久冻土仅限于波弗特海、西伯利亚海和拉普捷夫海。在这里,我们表明在拉布拉多沿岸流的影响下,拉布拉多沿岸(北纬 56°)存在不连续的海底永久冻土。高分辨率测深数据揭示了努纳夏瓦特省纳恩沿海海床存在海底热冻土环境,2022 年 7 月在该海床水深 27 米处打捞到了富含冰的沉积物样本。孔隙水分析表明,由于新鲜的海底地下水渗流在比海水(-1.8 °C)更高的温度(0 °C)下结冰,因此沉积物中会持续存在地冰。海底永久冻土地貌的形成和保存是由于拉布拉多沿岸流的冷水进入沿岸地区,并在一年中的大部分时间保持在 0 ℃ 以下。因此,拉布拉多沿岸海底永久冻土地貌的证据和北半球寒冷底层水的分布表明,海底永久冻土很可能保存在亚北极地区的其他地方,特别是在清新的海底地下水渗出使冰冻温度升高的地方。这突出表明,世界沿岸海洋的海底永久冻土可能被低估了。

Ishtar Terra highlands on Venus raised by craton-like formation mechanisms 金星上的伊什塔尔高地是通过类似陨石坑的形成机制抬升起来的

The Ishtar Terra highlands on Venus consist of Lakshmi Planum, an Australia-sized crustal plateau with an average elevation of ~4 km that is comparable to that of the Tibetan Plateau, surrounded by elongated mountain belts with elevations of around 10 km, taller than the Himalayas. The region is floored by thick crust that is comparable to that of cratons on Earth. On Earth, plateaus and mountain belts result from the collision of tectonic plates. However, the origin of Ishtar Terra remains enigmatic because Venus lacks Earth-like plate tectonics. Here we use three-dimensional thermo-chemo-mechanical computational simulations of Venus-like mantle convection to show how magmatism and tectonics emerge from mantle dynamics. The simulations show that a lithosphere weakened as a result of high initial hydration or high surface temperatures enhances convective thinning and decompression melting, favouring the emplacement of a thick magmatic crust on top of a deep residual depleted mantle. The stiffer residual root deflects mantle flow outwards, leading to the formation of fold belts around the buoyant lithosphere that are consequently uplifted into a plateau and preserved from further deformation. The modelled topography, crustal thicknesses and gravity is consistent with observational constraints of Ishtar Terra. Our findings suggest that plateau formation on Venus may operate similarly to craton formation on the hot early Earth, before the onset of plate tectonics. Venusian highland terrains such as Ishtar Terra formed from melting beneath thinned lithosphere that created a stiff mantle root in a mechanism akin to craton formation on the early Earth, according to three-dimensional computational simulations.
金星上的伊斯塔地高原由拉克希米高原(Lakshmi Planum)组成,这是一个澳大利亚大小的地壳高原,平均海拔约 4 千米,与青藏高原相当,周围是海拔约 10 千米的细长山带,比喜马拉雅山还要高。该地区的地壳很厚,相当于地球上的火山口。在地球上,高原和山地带是构造板块碰撞的结果。然而,由于金星缺乏类似地球的板块构造,伊斯塔地拉的起源仍然是个谜。在这里,我们利用类金星地幔对流的三维热化学机械计算模拟,展示了岩浆活动和构造是如何从地幔动力学中产生的。模拟结果表明,由于初始水化程度高或地表温度高而导致岩石圈减弱,对流减薄和减压熔融作用增强,有利于在深层残余贫化地幔顶部形成厚厚的岩浆地壳。较硬的残余地根使地幔流向外偏转,导致浮力岩石圈周围形成褶皱带,这些褶皱带随后被抬升为高原,并防止进一步变形。模拟的地形、地壳厚度和重力与伊斯塔地球的观测约束相一致。我们的研究结果表明,金星上高原的形成可能与早期地球上板块构造形成之前的陨石坑形成类似。

Highly variable deep-sea currents over tidal and seasonal timescales 在潮汐和季节时间尺度上高度多变的深海洋流

Deep-sea transport of sediment and associated matter, such as organic carbon, nutrients and pollutants, is controlled by near-bed currents. On the continental slope, these currents include episodic down-slope gravity-driven turbidity currents and more sustained thermohaline-driven along-slope contour currents. Recent advancements in deep-sea monitoring have catalysed a step change in our understanding of turbidity currents and contour currents individually. However, these processes rarely operate in isolation and the near-bed current regime is still to be quantified in a mixed system. Such measurements are crucial for understanding deep-sea particulate transport, calibrating numerical models and reconstructing palaeoflow. Here we use 4 years of observations from 34 instrument moorings in a mixed system offshore of Mozambique to show that near-bed currents are highly dynamic. We observe spatial variability in velocity over tidal and seasonal timescales, including reversals in current direction, and a strong steering and funnelling influence by local seabed morphology. The observed near-bed currents are capable of mobilizing and distributing sediments across the seabed, therefore complicating deep-sea particulate transport and reconstruction of palaeoceanographic conditions. Mooring observations suggest that deep-sea currents exhibit substantial variability over tidal and seasonal timescales, driving a complex pattern of sediment transport.
深海沉积物及相关物质(如有机碳、营养物质和污染物)的迁移受近海底流的控制。在大陆坡上,这些海流包括偶发的下坡重力驱动浊流和更持久的沿坡热盐驱动等高线海流。深海监测的最新进展促使我们对浊流和等高线海流的认识发生了质的变化。然而,这些过程很少单独运行,在混合系统中,近海底海流机制仍有待量化。这种测量对于了解深海颗粒物输运、校准数值模式和重建古水流至关重要。在这里,我们利用莫桑比克近海混合系统中 34 个仪器锚系设备 4 年的观测结果,证明近底海流具有很强的动态性。我们观测到流速在潮汐和季节时间尺度上的空间变化,包括海流方向的逆转,以及当地海床形态的强烈转向和漏斗影响。观测到的近底层海流能够调动和分布整个海床的沉积物,因此使深海颗粒物的迁移和古海洋学条件的重建变得更加复杂。

Moist heatwaves intensified by entrainment of dry air that limits deep convection 潮湿热浪因夹带限制深层对流的干燥空气而加剧

Moist heatwaves in the tropics and subtropics pose substantial risks to society, yet the dynamics governing their intensity are not fully understood. The onset of deep convection arising from hot, moist near-surface air has been thought to limit the magnitude of moist heatwaves. Here we use reanalysis data, output from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 and model entrainment perturbation experiments to show that entrainment of unsaturated air in the lower-free troposphere (roughly 1–3 km above the surface) limits deep convection, thereby allowing much higher near-surface moist heat. Regions with large-scale subsidence and a dry lower-free troposphere, such as coastal areas adjacent to hot and arid land, are thus particularly susceptible to moist heatwaves. Even in convective regions such as the northern Indian Plain, Southeast Asia and interior South America, the lower-free tropospheric dryness strongly affects the maximum surface wet-bulb temperature. As the climate warms, the dryness (relative to saturation) of the lower-free tropospheric air increases and this allows for a larger increase of extreme moist heat, further elevating the likelihood of moist heatwaves. Climate model simulations and reanalysis data suggest that inhibition of atmospheric convection by dry air intensifies moist heatwaves, and this process may further increase moist heatwaves under climate warming.
热带和亚热带的潮湿热浪给社会带来了巨大的风险,但人们对影响其强度的动力学机制还不完全了解。湿热近地面空气引起的深层对流被认为限制了湿热波的强度。在这里,我们利用再分析数据、耦合模式相互比较项目第 6 阶段的输出结果以及模式夹带扰动实验来证明,自由对流层低层(大约距地表 1-3 公里处)非饱和空气的夹带限制了深层对流,从而允许更高的近地表湿热。因此,大范围下沉和对流层低层干燥的地区,如毗邻炎热干旱陆地的沿海地区,特别容易受到湿热波的影响。即使在印度平原北部、东南亚和南美洲内陆等对流地区,对流层无下层的干燥也会对地表最高湿球温度产生强烈影响。随着气候变暖,对流层低层空气的干燥度(相对于饱和度)会增加,这使得极端湿热的增加幅度更大,进一步提高了湿热波发生的可能性。

Isotopic evidence against North Pacific Deep Water formation during late Pliocene warmth 北太平洋深水形成于上新世晚期温暖时期的同位素证据

Several modelling and observational studies suggest deep water formation in the subpolar North Pacific as a possible alternative mode of thermohaline circulation that occurred in the warm Pliocene, a time when global atmospheric partial pressure of carbon dioxide was like the modern atmosphere (~400 ppm). We test this hypothesis by measuring the δ13C of the benthic foraminifer Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi collected from northernmost Pacific mid-Piacenzian Warm Period (3.264–3.025 Myr ago) sediments. The data reveal progressively more isotopically negative dissolved inorganic carbon along a northward Equator-to-pole transect, the opposite of the expected Pliocene Pacific meridional overturning circulation signal. C. wuellerstorfi δ13C is also often more positive at the deeper Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) site 887 compared with the shallower ODP site 883, suggesting ‘bottom-up’ ventilation of the deep Pacific Ocean. We then present alkenone sea surface temperature and export-productivity data from ODP site 883, which suggest that late Pliocene subarctic North Pacific carbonate sedimentation was, at least in part, probably due to higher coccolithophore export production, rather than North Pacific Deep Water formation as previously argued. Therefore, we suggest it is unlikely that North Pacific Deep Water formation occurred in the mid-Piacenzian Warm Period, although a shallower overturning cell cannot be ruled out. Late Pliocene warmth did not lead to substantial deep water formation in the North Pacific as previously proposed, according to benthic foraminifera carbon isotope transects.
一些建模和观测研究表明,亚极地北太平洋的深水形成可能是温暖的上新世时期温盐环流的另一种模式,当时全球大气中的二氧化碳分压与现代大气类似(约为 400 ppm)。我们通过测量从太平洋最北部的上新世温暖期中期(3.264-3.025 Myr ago)沉积物中采集的底栖有孔虫 Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi 的 δ13C 来验证这一假设。数据显示,沿着从赤道到极地的向北横断面,溶解无机碳的同位素负值逐渐增加,这与预期的上新世太平洋经向翻转环流信号相反。与较浅的大洋钻探计划(ODP)883站点相比,在较深的大洋钻探计划(ODP)887站点,C. wuellerstorfi δ13C也往往呈正值,这表明太平洋深海存在 "自下而上 "的通风。然后,我们介绍了 ODP 883 号站点的烯酮海表温度和输出生产力数据,这些数据表明,上新世晚期亚北极北太平洋碳酸盐沉积至少有一部分可能是由于较高的茧石输出生产力造成的,而不是像以前认为的那样是由于北太平洋深水的形成造成的。因此,我们认为北太平洋深水的形成不太可能发生在上新世暖期中期,尽管不能排除一个较浅的倾覆单元。

We then present alkenone sea surface temperature and export-productivity data from ODP site 883, which suggest that late Pliocene subarctic North Pacific carbonate sedimentation was, at least in part, probably due to higher coccolithophore export production, rather than North Pacific Deep Water formation as previously argued. Therefore, we suggest it is unlikely that North Pacific Deep Water formation occurred in the mid-Piacenzian Warm Period, although a shallower overturning cell cannot be ruled out. Late Pliocene warmth did not lead to substantial deep water formation in the North Pacific as previously proposed, according to benthic foraminifera carbon isotope transects.","PeriodicalId":19053,"journal":{"name":"Nature Geoscience","volume":"17 8","pages":"795-802"},"PeriodicalIF":15.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141750308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deep-seafloor organisms consume oxygen, which can be measured by in situ benthic chamber experiments. Here we report such experiments at the polymetallic nodule-covered abyssal seafloor in the Pacific Ocean in which oxygen increased over two days to more than three times the background concentration, which from ex situ incubations we attribute to the polymetallic nodules. Given high voltage potentials (up to 0.95 V) on nodule surfaces, we hypothesize that seawater electrolysis may contribute to this dark oxygen production. Oxygen is generated abiotically at the abyssal seafloor in the presence of polymetallic nodules, potentially by seawater electrolysis, according to in situ chamber and ex situ incubation experiments.
深海海底生物消耗氧气,这可以通过原位底栖室实验来测量。在这里,我们报告了在太平洋多金属结核覆盖的深海海底进行的此类实验,在实验中,氧气在两天内增加到背景浓度的三倍以上,根据现场培养,我们将其归因于多金属结核。鉴于结核表面的高电压电位(高达 0.95 V),我们推测海水电解可能是暗氧产生的原因。

Majority of global river flow sustained by groundwater 全球大部分河流流量靠地下水维持
IF 15.7 1区 地球科学 Q1 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-07-19 DOI: 10.1038/s41561-024-01483-5

Groundwater-sustained baseflow is a vital source of river flow, especially during dry seasons. The proportion of river flow sustained by baseflow—the baseflow index—is essential for assessing fluvial nutrient cycling and contaminant transport. However, the global baseflow index remains highly uncertain, with current Earth system model simulations ranging from 12% to 94%. Here we estimate the global baseflow index to be 59% ± 7% based on an emergent constraint approach, which integrates 50 Earth system models with baseflow indices derived from streamflow observations in 15,567 basins. Our observational constraint indicates that at least 21% ± 3% of precipitation recharges groundwater, which is approximately double the figure reported in the Sixth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Thus, our research suggests a more active role of groundwater in the global water cycle than most Earth system models currently simulate. We present evidence that the considerable disagreement in simulated baseflow stems from unrealistic and varied model representations of infiltration, aquifer structure and groundwater dynamics. These processes should be prioritized so that models can capture active groundwater–river connections. Groundwater supplies about 59% of global river flow, suggesting a larger contribution of groundwater to the global water cycle than currently appreciated, according to an analysis integrating estimates from models and observations.
地下水维持的基流是河流流量的重要来源,尤其是在干旱季节。基流维持的河流流量比例--基流指数--对于评估河流营养循环和污染物迁移至关重要。然而,全球基流指数仍然存在很大的不确定性,目前地球系统模型模拟的基流指数从 12% 到 94% 不等。在这里,我们根据一种新出现的约束方法,将 50 个地球系统模型与从 15567 个流域的溪流观测中得出的基流指数相结合,估计全球基流指数为 59% ± 7%。我们的观测约束表明,至少有 21% ± 3% 的降水补给了地下水,这大约是联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会第六次评估报告中报告的数字的两倍。因此,我们的研究表明,地下水在全球水循环中的作用比目前大多数地球系统模型模拟的更为积极。我们提出的证据表明,模拟基流中存在的巨大差异源于模型对渗透、含水层结构和地下水动态不切实际的不同描述。应优先考虑这些过程,以便模型能够捕捉到地下水与河流之间的活跃联系。
