Bedded gypsum is relatively common in bedded evaporites associated with red bed siliciclastics of Permo-Triassic Pangea. However, little attention has been paid to the textures of ancient gypsum, which can be used to refine interpretations of depositional environment and diagenetic history. This project describes the textures of bedded gypsum from an outcrop of the Triassic Red Peak Formation (Chugwater Group) near Greybull, Wyoming. Fieldwork, petrography and X-ray diffraction reveal three distinct lithologies of bedded gypsum: bottom-growth gypsum, laminated gypsum and clastic gypsum. Bottom-growth gypsum precipitated at the bottom of shallow saline surface water bodies. Laminated gypsum probably formed in shallow saline lakes and mudflats. Clastic gypsum units are composed of aeolian-reworked bottom-growth gypsum crystals deposited in sandflats. Red siliciclastic mudstones are characterised by their massive nature and abundant blocky peds. Detailed study of this outcrop of the Red Peak Formation shows that it formed in shallow saline lakes and associated mudflats, sandflats and desert soils.

在与二叠三叠纪泛大陆红层硅质岩有关的层状蒸发岩中,层状石膏比较常见。然而,人们很少关注古石膏的纹理,而这些纹理可用于完善对沉积环境和成岩历史的解释。该项目描述了怀俄明州格雷布尔附近三叠纪红峰地层(楚格沃特组)露头的层状石膏的纹理。实地考察、岩相学和 X 射线衍射揭示了层状石膏的三种不同岩性:底部生长石膏、层状石膏和碎屑石膏。底生石膏沉淀在浅盐地表水体的底部。层状石膏可能形成于浅盐湖和泥滩。碎屑石膏单元由沉积于沙滩的底部生长石膏晶体经风化再加工而成。红色硅质泥岩的特点是块状和大量块状碎屑。对这一赤峰地层露头的详细研究表明,该地层形成于浅盐湖及相关的泥滩、沙滩和沙漠土壤中。

El Niño–Southern Oscillation dynamics affect global weather patterns, with regionally diverse hydrological responses posing critical societal challenges. The lack of seasonally resolved hydrological proxy reconstructions beyond the observational era limits our understanding of boundary conditions that drive and/or adjust El Niño–Southern Oscillation variability. Detailed reconstructions of past El Niño–Southern Oscillation dynamics can help modelling efforts, highlight impacts on disparate ecosystems and link to extreme events that affect populations from the tropics to high latitudes. Here, mid-Holocene El Niño–Southern Oscillation and hydrological changes are reconstructed in the south-west Pacific using a stalagmite from Niue Island, which represents the period 6.4–5.4 ka BP. Stable oxygen and carbon isotope ratios, trace elements and greyscale data from a U/Th-dated and layer counted stalagmite profile are combined to infer changes in local hydrology at sub-annual to multi-decadal timescales. Principal component analysis reveals seasonal-scale hydrological changes expressed as variations in stalagmite growth patterns and geochemical characteristics. Higher levels of host rock-derived elements (Sr/Ca and U/Ca) and higher δ18O and δ13C values are observed in dark, dense calcite laminae deposited during the dry season, whereas during the wet season, higher concentrations of soil-derived elements (Zn/Ca and Mn/Ca) and lower δ18O and δ13C values are recorded in pale, porous calcite laminae. The multi-proxy record from Niue shows seasonal cycles associated with hydrological changes controlled by the positioning and strength of the South Pacific Convergence Zone. Wavelet analysis of the greyscale record reveals that El Niño–Southern Oscillation was continuously active during the mid-Holocene, with two weaker intervals at 6–5.9 and 5.6–5.5 ka BP. El Niño–Southern Oscillation especially affects dry season rainfall dynamics, with increased cyclone activity that reduces hydrological seasonality during El Niño years.

厄尔尼诺-南方涛动的动态影响着全球天气模式,各地区不同的水文反应给社会带来了严峻的挑战。由于缺乏观测时代以外的季节分辨水文代用指标重建,限制了我们对驱动和/或调整厄尔尼诺-南方涛动变异的边界条件的理解。对过去厄尔尼诺-南方涛动动态的详细重建有助于建模工作,突出对不同生态系统的影响,并与影响从热带到高纬度人口的极端事件联系起来。本文利用纽埃岛的石笋重建了全新世中期厄尔尼诺-南方涛动和西南太平洋的水文变化,该石笋代表了 6.4-5.4 ka BP 时期。将稳定的氧和碳同位素比值、微量元素和来自 U/Th 日期和层计数石笋剖面的灰度数据结合起来,推断出当地水文在次年至数十年时间尺度上的变化。主成分分析表明,季节尺度的水文变化表现为石笋生长模式和地球化学特征的变化。在旱季沉积的深色致密方解石层中,可以观察到较高水平的主岩衍生元素(Sr/Ca 和 U/Ca)和较高的 δ18O 和 δ13C 值;而在雨季,在浅色多孔方解石层中,可以记录到较高浓度的土壤衍生元素(Zn/Ca 和 Mn/Ca)和较低的 δ18O 和 δ13C 值。纽埃的多代理记录显示了与南太平洋辐合带的位置和强度所控制的水文变化有关的季节性周期。对灰度记录的小波分析表明,厄尔尼诺-南方涛动在全新世中期持续活跃,在 6-5.9 ka BP 和 5.6-5.5 ka BP 有两个较弱的时期。厄尔尼诺-南方涛动尤其影响旱季降雨动态,在厄尔尼诺年,气旋活动增加,降低了水文季节性。

In the Mesozoic succession of the Anyui–Chukotka fold system (North-East Russia), five stratigraphic intervals were recognised that have an abundance of gravity flow deposits. These are the Olenekian (Lower Triassic), Upper Carnian, Upper Norian, Oxfordian–Kimmeridgian and Valanginian. The Triassic gravity flow deposits formed on the south-facing, passive margin of the Chukotka microplate and consist of greywackes and lithic arenites. Palaeocurrent data indicate that the flows were directed towards the south-east. The Olenekian gravity flow units consist of clast-rich sandstone deposited on the continental slope, and clast-poor sandstone deposited at the base of the slope. Upper Carnian mud-poor sandstones were deposited at the base of the slope and the Norian thin-bedded turbidites were upper to mid-slope deposits. The continental margin was affected by tectonism and was uplifted in the latest Triassic–earliest Jurassic, possibly due to the initiation of the southward translation of the Arctic Alaska–Chukotka microplate. Following an Early–Middle Jurassic uplift of the area, sedimentation resumed in the Late Jurassic and earliest Cretaceous. Several syn-orogenic depressions (Rauchua, Pegtymel, Pevek, Myrgovaam and Kytepveem) developed on the south-western margin of the Chukotka microplate, and deposition in these basins included gravity flow deposits at various times. In both the Oxfordian–Kimmeridgian and Valanginian successions, gravity flow deposits included arkosic and subarkosic sandstones with a northern source area of granitoid complexes and deformed Triassic strata. The intervening Tithonian–Berriasian gravity flow deposits consisted mainly of thin-bedded turbidites. These sediments had a southern source, which included a volcanic arc that had accreted to the southern margin of the Chukotka microplate.

在安义-丘科特卡褶皱系统(俄罗斯东北部)的中生代演替中,有五个地层区间被认为具有丰富的重力流沉积。它们分别是奥利尼克期(下三叠统)、上卡尼期、上诺尔期、牛津-基默里吉期和瓦朗基尼期。三叠纪重力流沉积形成于楚科奇微板块朝南的被动边缘,由灰岩和碎屑岩组成。古水流数据表明,这些水流流向东南。奥利尼克重力流单元由沉积在大陆坡上的富含碎屑的砂岩和沉积在坡底的贫含碎屑的砂岩组成。上卡尼期贫泥砂岩沉积于斜坡底部,诺尔纪薄层浊积岩为斜坡中上部沉积。大陆边缘受到构造运动的影响,在晚三叠世-早侏罗世发生隆起,这可能是由于北极阿拉斯加-楚科奇微板块开始向南平移所致。该地区在侏罗纪早中期隆升之后,在侏罗纪晚期和白垩纪早期恢复了沉积作用。楚科奇微板块西南边缘形成了几个同源坳陷(Rauchua、Pegtymel、Pevek、Myrgovaam 和 Kytepveem),这些盆地的沉积在不同时期包括重力流沉积。在牛津-基默里德纪和瓦朗基尼纪岩层中,重力流沉积包括弧光砂岩和亚弧光砂岩,其北部源区为花岗岩群和变形的三叠纪地层。其间的提托尼-白垩纪重力流沉积主要由薄层浊积岩组成。这些沉积物的南部来源包括楚科奇微板块南缘增生的火山弧。

Dual-energy X-ray computed tomography consists of imaging objects using two incident X-ray beams of different energy to distinguish the different compounds within a sample based on their density (electron density, ρe) and elemental composition (effective atomic number, Zeff). The stoichiometric calibration for dual-energy X-ray computed tomography was already successfully implemented to identify single and homogeneous minerals easily and non-destructively. It is here applied for the first time to a more complex and heterogeneous sample, a varved sediment core with three distinct facies. The output of dual-energy X-ray computed tomography was compared against elemental geochemistry obtained at the same resolution using a micro-XRF core scanner. The three individual facies can be successfully differentiated using dual-energy X-ray computed tomography because their range of ρe and Zeff values allow their discrimination. Correlations with elemental geochemistry are also discussed but are less conclusive, probably because of variations in grain size and porosity, and because these high resolution analyses were not performed at the exact same location. The paper not only eventually discusses the limitations when using dual-energy X-ray computed tomography on sediments but also demonstrates its potential to quantitatively study sediment cores in a non-destructive way.

双能 X 射线计算机断层扫描是利用两束不同能量的入射 X 射线对物体进行成像,从而根据密度(电子密度,ρe)和元素组成(有效原子序数,Zeff)区分样品中的不同化合物。双能量 X 射线计算机断层扫描的化学计量校准已成功应用于简单、非破坏性地识别单一和均质矿物。本文首次将其应用于一个更加复杂和异质的样本,即具有三个不同面的变异沉积岩芯。双能 X 射线计算机断层扫描的输出结果与使用微型 XRF 岩心扫描仪在相同分辨率下获得的元素地球化学结果进行了比较。使用双能 X 射线计算机断层扫描可以成功地区分三个不同的岩层面,因为它们的 ρe 和 Zeff 值范围允许对它们进行区分。论文还讨论了与元素地球化学的相关性,但不太确定,这可能是由于粒度和孔隙度的变化,以及这些高分辨率分析不是在完全相同的位置进行的。本文不仅最终讨论了在沉积物上使用双能 X 射线计算机断层扫描时的局限性,而且还展示了它以非破坏性方式定量研究沉积物岩心的潜力。

Submarine channels are key features for the transport of flow and nutrients into deep water. Previous studies of their morphology and channel evolution have treated these systems as abiotic, and therefore assume that physical processes are solely responsible for morphological development. Here, a unique dataset is utilised that includes spatial measurements around a channel bend that hosts active sediment gravity flows. The data include flow velocity and density, alongside bed grain size and channel-floor benthic macrofauna. Analysis of these parameters demonstrate that while physical processes control the broadest scale variations in sedimentation around and across the channel, benthic biology plays a critical role in stabilising sediment and trapping fines. This leads to much broader mixed grain sizes than would be expected from purely abiotic sedimentation, and the maintenance of sediment beds in positions where all the sediment should be actively migrating. Given that previous work has also shown that submarine channels can be biological hotspots, then the present study suggests that benthic biology probably plays a key role in channel morphology and evolution, and that these need to be considered both in the modern and when considering examples preserved in the rock record.

海底通道是向深水输送水流和营养物质的关键特征。以往对其形态和河道演变的研究都将这些系统视为非生物系统,因此认为形态发展完全是物理过程造成的。本文利用了一个独特的数据集,其中包括对沉积物重力流活跃的河道弯曲处进行的空间测量。这些数据包括流速和密度,以及河床粒度和河道底部大型底栖动物。对这些参数的分析表明,虽然物理过程控制着河道周围和两岸最广泛的沉积变化,但底栖生物在稳定沉积物和截留细粒方面起着至关重要的作用。这就导致了比纯非生物沉积作用所预期的要宽得多的混合粒度,并使沉积床保持在所有沉积物都应积极迁移的位置。鉴于之前的研究也表明,海底河道可能是生物热点,那么本研究就表明,底栖生物可能在河道形态和演化过程中起着关键作用,在现代和考虑岩石记录中保存的实例时,都需要考虑这些因素。

The provenance of a turbidite system within a tectonically active wrench basin: Insights from heavy mineral characteristics of Miocene sandstones in the Tabernas Basin, south-east Spain 构造活跃的扳手盆地中的浊积岩系统的成因:从西班牙东南部塔贝纳斯盆地中新世砂岩的重矿物特征得出的启示

This paper provides insight into the provenance of the Late Miocene turbidite succession of the Tabernas Basin. Although this area has been extensively studied, only limited attention has been paid to sediment provenance. Through heavy mineral analysis, it has been possible to identify provenance-related signatures from the adjacent Sierra de los Filabres and Sierra Alhamilla uplifts. Stable mineral ratio data confirm that the Sierra de los Filabres provided sediment with generally higher chloritoid:tourmaline and higher Type Bii garnet abundances than those derived from the Sierra Alhamilla. By comparison, modern sediments derived from the Sierra Alhamilla have garnet compositions with larger proportions of Types A and C, suggesting that the basinal sediments were not sourced from the incipient Sierra Alhamilla Uplift. Heavy mineral analysis confirms that the Sierra de los Filabres was the primary source for the Tabernas succession, with minor variations indicating that the erosive part of the system migrated across the uplift. Input was predominantly from the Nevado–Filábride Complex, with minor amounts from the small remnant of the Alpujarride Complex attached to the southern margin of the Sierra de los Filabres. Evidence strongly suggests a single sediment routing system but identifies some subtle provenance variations. In particular, there was a shift in detrital garnet composition between the Sartenella Formation and the Verdelecho Formation, Solitary Channel and El Gordo Megabed, which is attributed here to a shift in catchment within the Sierra de los Filabres. This shift appears to have occurred during the deposition of the Sartenella Formation, since the garnet compositions of the Verdelecho Formation and Solitary Channel are similar to each other and differ from the preceding part of the Sartenella Formation. The Solitary Channel displays marked heterogeneities in provenance character, manifested by changes in chloritoid abundance, consistent with previous studies that suggest the depositional architecture in the channel was influenced by high-frequency changes in sediment flux and sea level.

本文深入探讨了塔贝纳斯盆地晚中新世浊积岩演替的成因。虽然对这一地区进行了广泛的研究,但对沉积物来源的关注十分有限。通过重矿物分析,可以从邻近的 Sierra de los Filabres 山脉和 Sierra Alhamilla 山脉隆起中确定与出处相关的特征。稳定矿物比例数据证实,与来自阿尔哈米亚山脉的沉积物相比,菲拉布雷斯山脉沉积物的绿泥石:电气石和 Bii 型石榴石丰度普遍较高。相比之下,来自阿尔哈米亚山脉的现代沉积物的石榴石成分中,A型和C型所占比例较大,这表明基底沉积物并非来自新生的阿尔哈米亚山脉隆起。重矿物分析证实,Sierra de los Filabres 是塔贝尔纳斯岩系演替的主要来源,但略有不同,表明岩系的侵蚀部分是在隆起带上迁移的。沉积物主要来自内瓦多-菲拉布里德复合地层,少量来自附着在菲拉布雷斯山脉南缘的阿尔普加里德复合地层的一小部分残余。证据有力地证明了单一的沉积物流向系统,但也发现了一些微妙的来源变化。特别是,萨特内拉地层与韦尔德莱乔地层、孤独海峡和埃尔戈多巨型海床之间的碎屑石榴石成分发生了变化,这里将其归因于菲拉布雷斯山脉内集水区的变化。由于 Verdelecho Formation 和 Solitary Channel 的石榴石成分彼此相似,而与 Sartenella Formation 的前半部分不同,因此这种转变似乎发生在 Sartenella Formation 的沉积过程中。孤独海峡在产地特征方面显示出明显的异质性,表现为绿泥石丰度的变化,这与之前的研究一致,即该海峡的沉积结构受到沉积通量和海平面高频变化的影响。

The difficulty of correlating continental deposits hinders predicting lacustrine and palustrine carbonate facies variations in time and space. This study aims to understand better the factors governing these facies heterogeneities by measuring carbonate isotopes and conducting facies, petrographic and sequence stratigraphic analyses of the Lutetian–Aquitanian deposits of the Paris Basin, that record the transition from marine to lacustrine environments. Large-scale correlations enabled the definition of two lacustrine–palustrine carbonate facies models. (1) The coastal lacustrine system (Bartonian to Rupelian), consists of fine-grained brackish carbonate exhibiting episodic marine inputs during short-term relative sea-level maxima and evaporite sedimentation during relative sea-level minima. Lacustrine sediments differ notably from marine ones with more negative δ13C and δ18O compositions that co-vary and a biota adapted to low salinity conditions. In the associated palustrine environment, depositional sequences evolve upwards from micritic lacustrine deposits to nodular and then laminar calcretes. Microbial-coated grains and rhizoliths indicate biological processes during repeated subaerial exposure phases in sub-tropical to arid climates. (2) The inland lacustrine system (Rupelian and Aquitanian) was disconnected from the marine domain and showed evidence of microbial activity with microbial crusts and oncoidal rudstones. Facies rich in micritic intraclasts composed of palustrine and lacustrine facies indicate the reworking of already lithified sediments along the margins. In the palustrine domain, the calcrete facies are less abundant than breccias formed in-situ by desiccation, limestones with root traces, or organic-rich wackestones and marls. This system reflects a more temperate climate with more developed microbial structures and less exposed carbonates than the coastal lacustrine system. The southward migration of the depocentre and the transition from marine environments to (1) coastal and then (2) inland systems are controlled by uplift phases induced by Pyrenean and Alpine orogenesis. Third-order relative sea-level variations appear to control only short-term cycles in coastal systems.

大陆沉积相关性的困难阻碍了对湖泊和湖滨碳酸盐岩面在时间和空间上变化的预测。本研究旨在通过测量碳酸盐同位素,对巴黎盆地的吕特-阿基坦沉积物进行岩相、岩性和层序分析,更好地了解这些岩相异质性的影响因素,这些沉积物记录了从海洋环境向湖泊环境的过渡。通过大尺度关联分析,确定了两个湖泊-咸水层碳酸盐岩面模型。(1) 沿海湖沼系统(巴顿期至鲁佩尔期)由细粒咸水碳酸盐组成,在短期相对海平面最高值期间表现为偶发性海洋输入,在相对海平面最低值期间表现为蒸发沉积。湖沼沉积物与海洋沉积物明显不同,δ13C 和 δ18O成分更负,且共同变化,生物群适应低盐度条件。在相关的河口环境中,沉积序列从微晶湖相沉积物向上演化为结节状钙质沉积物,然后是层状钙质沉积物。微生物包裹的颗粒和根瘤表明,在亚热带至干旱气候条件下,在反复的次大气暴露阶段中的生物过程。(2) 内陆湖沼系统(鲁佩尔和阿奎坦)与海域断开,显示出微生物活动的证据,有微生物结壳和胶状根瘤岩。富含微晶内碎屑的面层由滨海面层和湖泊面层组成,表明沿岸已碎屑化的沉积物经过了再加工。在湖滨区,碎屑岩层的数量少于因干燥而就地形成的角砾岩、带根痕的灰岩或富含有机质的腊石和泥灰岩。与沿海湖相系统相比,该系统反映了更温和的气候,更发达的微生物结构和更少裸露的碳酸盐。沉积中心的南移,以及从海洋环境向(1)沿岸系统和(2)内陆系统的过渡,是由比利牛斯和阿尔卑斯造山运动引起的隆升阶段所控制的。三阶相对海平面变化似乎只控制沿岸系统的短期周期。

Establishing the biogenicity of sedimentary surface textures with unresolved microbial origin is critical to any environmental and geobiological interpretation of clastic settings. Here, some Ediacaran wrinkle structures and associated carbonaceous greywacke samples containing mat fragments rich in ‘bacteriomorph acritarchs’ are investigated. Their biogenicity was evaluated with transmitted light and scanning electron microscopy, epifluorescence and Raman spectroscopy, and confirmed by the presence of distinct cyanobacterial biomarkers. The comparison of results yielded by these techniques validates the use of Raman spectroscopy on Neoproterozoic kerogen (organic-walled microfossils and amorphous organic material) under low metamorphic conditions. Raman spectrographs also allowed recognition of associated rare-earth element-rich phosphate (monazite) and subsidiary metal sulphide concentrations, and interpreted as a result of biosorption and/or mat trapping under normal oxic conditions. These microbial mat features represent cyanobacterial bloom-forming Bavlinella acritarchs, which characterise eutrophic episodes in a semi-enclosed retroarc basin sandwiched between an active Cadomian arc and West Gondwana.

确定微生物起源未明的沉积表面纹理的生物成因对于碎屑环境的环境和地质生物学解释至关重要。本文研究了埃迪卡拉纪的一些皱褶结构和相关的碳质灰岩样本,这些样本中含有富含 "细菌形态针藻 "的垫状碎片。通过透射光和扫描电子显微镜、荧光和拉曼光谱对其生物成因进行了评估,并通过独特的蓝藻生物标志物的存在对其进行了确认。通过比较这些技术得出的结果,验证了拉曼光谱在低变质条件下对新新生代角质(有机壁微化石和无定形有机物质)的应用。拉曼光谱还可以识别相关的富含稀土元素的磷酸盐(独居石)和附属金属硫化物浓度,并将其解释为正常含氧条件下生物吸附和/或垫层捕获的结果。这些微生物垫特征代表了蓝藻藻华形成的 Bavlinella acritarchs,是夹在活跃的卡多米弧和西冈瓦纳之间的半封闭弧后盆地富营养化事件的特征。

The Cretaceous was punctuated by episodic flooding of continental margins forming epicontinental seas. The Trans-Sahara Seaway was one of these epicontinental seas, connecting the Gulf of Guinea with the Tethys Ocean. In this study, data including microplankton abundances, stable carbon isotopes of organic material and elemental geochemistry were integrated with traditional sedimentological analyses from the Trans-Sahara Seaway. The carbon isotopic data provide the first evidence that oceanic anoxic event 2 was present in the Trans-Sahara Seaway, and palynology shows it was associated with an increase in peridinioid dinocyst abundance. A combined study of microplankton assemblages and sedimentology reveals palaeoenvironmental trends linked to sea-level change. Lowstand system tracts were characterised by increased siliciclastic grain size, low microplankton diversity, and were dominated by Chlorophyceae. Transgressive system tracts were associated with diversity increases during rising sea level, with open marine gonyaulacoid dinocysts dominating the assemblages. Maximum flooding surfaces were recognised by the highest increase in biological diversity in argillaceous deposits. As sea level started to fall, the peridinioid dinocysts became dominant, with decreased microplankton diversity during highstand systems tracts. This combination of sedimentology and interpretation of dinocyst assemblages allows the identification of shallow to deeper marine depositional sequences of Cenomanian–Santonian strata within the Yola Sub-basin. This approach could be used to delineate marine depositional sequences where using conventional sedimentological methods alone is very challenging.

白垩纪期间,大陆边缘时常发生洪水泛滥,形成外大陆海。跨撒哈拉海道就是其中之一,它连接着几内亚湾和特提斯洋。在这项研究中,包括微浮游生物丰度、有机物的稳定碳同位素和元素地球化学在内的数据与跨撒哈拉海道的传统沉积学分析相结合。碳同位素数据首次证明了跨撒哈拉海道曾出现过大洋缺氧事件 2,而古生物学研究则表明,大洋缺氧事件 2 与围岩二胞丰度的增加有关。微浮游生物组合和沉积学的综合研究揭示了与海平面变化相关的古环境趋势。低海平面系统带的特点是硅质颗粒尺寸增大,微浮游生物多样性低,并以叶绿藻为主。在海平面上升过程中,跨海平面系统带的多样性也随之增加,其中以开阔海域的龙宫二叠体为主。最大洪水面是由生物多样性增加最多的砾质沉积物决定的。随着海平面开始下降,围岩类恐龙囊开始占主导地位,高地系统道中的微浮游生物多样性减少。结合沉积学和对恐龙囊组合的解释,可以确定约拉次盆地内仙人掌-山童统地层从浅到深的海洋沉积序列。在仅使用传统沉积学方法非常困难的地方,可以使用这种方法来划分海洋沉积序列。

Determination of the physical properties of subsurface geological bodies is essential for georesource management and geotechnical applications. In the absence of direct measurements, this usually passes via geophysical methods such as seismic and ground-penetrating radar. These require conversion to physical properties, and measurements at different scales to test for consistency. This approach is non-trivial in geobodies with heterogeneous patterns of properties. Tufa mounds—in-situ terrestrial carbonate buildups precipitating from geothermal waters—are characterised by high contrasts in facies and petrophysical properties from microscale to macroscale, and are therefore ideally suited to test the ability of non-invasive geophysical methods to estimate such contrasts, and to develop petrophysical models based on geophysical properties. Here, a laboratory-based study of a Pleistocene tufa mound in Spain is presented that combines (1) petrography, (2) digital 2D pore network analysis, (3) gas porosity and permeability measurements, (4) acoustic velocity measurements and (5) electromagnetic wave velocity and porosity determination from ground-penetrating radar, to develop empirical petrophysical models. These results show the consistency of petrophysical properties determined with different methods across various observational scales. Electromagnetically derived porosity positively correlates with gas porosity. Petrophysical properties depend on measurable rock fabric parameters and the degree of cementation, which provide predictive tools for subsurface geobodies. Strongly cemented peloidal-thrombolitic fabrics with intergranular and intercrystalline pores, and a dominance of small complex pores best transmit acoustic waves. Weak cementation and a significant fraction of large simple pores (framework, vegetation moulds) increase porosity and permeability of shrubby fabrics, while causing lower acoustic velocity. This study demonstrates that ground-penetrating radar models can be used in combination with direct measurements of physical subsurface properties to capture highly contrasting physical properties associated with different sedimentary facies that would not be achievable with other methods, thus improving the understanding of formational processes.

确定地下地质体的物理特性对于地质资源管理和岩土工程应用至关重要。在没有直接测量方法的情况下,通常通过地震和探地雷达等地球物理方法来实现。这些方法需要转换成物理特性,并在不同尺度上进行测量,以检验其一致性。这种方法对于具有不同属性模式的地质体来说并非易事。从地热水中沉淀出来的陆地碳酸盐堆积物图法丘的特点是从微观尺度到宏观尺度的岩相和岩石物理特性的高度反差,因此非常适合测试非侵入地球物理方法估计这种反差的能力,并根据地球物理特性开发岩石物理模型。本文介绍了对西班牙一个更新世陶土堆进行的实验室研究,该研究结合了(1)岩相学、(2)数字二维孔隙网络分析、(3)气体孔隙度和渗透率测量、(4)声速测量和(5)透地雷达电磁波速度和孔隙度测定,以建立经验岩石物理模型。这些结果表明,用不同方法测定的岩石物理特性在不同观测尺度上具有一致性。电磁得出的孔隙度与气体孔隙度呈正相关。岩石物理特性取决于可测量的岩石结构参数和胶结程度,这为地下地质体提供了预测工具。强胶结的球状-溶栓质岩石结构具有晶间孔隙和晶间孔隙,并以小型复合孔隙为主,最能传递声波。弱胶结和大量大的简单孔隙(框架、植被模)会增加灌木状结构的孔隙度和渗透性,同时导致声速降低。这项研究表明,探地雷达模型可与地下物理特性的直接测量相结合,捕捉与不同沉积面相关的对比强烈的物理特性,这是其他方法无法实现的,从而提高了对形成过程的认识。
