The Galápagos Archipelago is the surface expression of an active hotspot or long-lived mantle plume. The Archipelago consists of a group of 13 main islands which are located in the eastern central Pacific Ocean about 1,000 km west of the northern edge of the South American continent, east of the East Pacific Rise and south of the Galápagos spreading center. Because of the large distance to the nearest continental land mass, Galapagos can be seen as an almost isolated sedimentary system. A provenance study conducted on samples collected from seventeen beaches on eleven islands, demonstrates that mineral grains and particles were derived from weathering of predominantly basaltic rocks and were transported within the islands, between the islands or inside the coastal area around the Archipelago. The exclusion of external sources allows advanced studies about erosion processes, transport pathways of particles and the accumulation of autochthonous sediments. The combined usage of optical particle size and shape analysis with RAMAN spectroscopy allows a successful spatial delimitation of host rocks and a reconstruction of transport pathways. The analyzed samples can be subdivided into three groups: 1) Type-A sediments: fine-grained and sampled on beaches of the oldest islands in the eastern part of Galápagos. The composition of volcanic minerals corresponds to the alkaline character of the basaltic source rocks. 2) Type-B: well sorted sediments characterized by medium-grained olivine, pyroxene, plagioclase and even a small amount of quartz grains. The islands of this group are located in the central region of the Archipelago. 3) Type-C samples: olivine and pyroxene are the predominant volcanic minerals. These samples indicate bimodal, coarse-grained size distributions and large proportions of pumice and are found in Floreana in the south and the youngest islands Isabela and Fernandina in the west of Galápagos.
Galápagos群岛是活跃热点或长寿命地幔柱的地表表现。该群岛由13个主要岛屿组成,位于太平洋中部东部,南美洲大陆北部边缘以西约1000公里,东太平洋隆起以东,Galápagos蔓延中心以南。由于离最近的大陆块距离很远,加拉帕戈斯群岛可以看作是一个几乎孤立的沉积体系。对从11个岛屿的17个海滩收集的样品进行的物源研究表明,矿物颗粒和颗粒主要来自玄武岩的风化作用,并在岛屿内、岛屿之间或群岛周围的沿海地区内运输。排除外部来源可以进一步研究侵蚀过程、颗粒的运输途径和本地沉积物的积累。结合使用光学颗粒大小和形状分析与拉曼光谱允许宿主岩石的成功空间划分和运输路径的重建。分析的样品可分为三组:1)a型沉积物:颗粒细,取样于Galápagos东部最古老岛屿的海滩上。火山矿物组成与玄武质烃源岩的碱性特征相对应。2) b型:分选良好,以中粒橄榄石、辉石、斜长石为特征,甚至含有少量石英颗粒。3) c型样品:橄榄石和辉石是主要的火山矿物。这些样品显示了双峰、粗粒度的尺寸分布和大量的浮石,并在南部的弗洛里亚纳岛和Galápagos西部最年轻的伊莎贝拉岛和费尔南迪纳岛发现。

The Panthalassa Ocean, which surrounded the late Paleozoic-early Mesozoic Pangea supercontinent, was underlain by multiple tectonic plates that have since been lost to subduction. In this study, we develop an approach to reconstruct plate motions of this subducted lithosphere utilizing paleomagnetic data from accreted Ocean Plate Stratigraphy (OPS). We first establish the boundaries of the Panthalassa domain by using available Indo-Atlantic plate reconstructions and restorations of complex plate boundary deformation at circum-Panthalassa trenches. We reconstruct the Pacific Plate and its conjugates, the Farallon, Phoenix, and Izanagi plates, back to 190 Ma using marine magnetic anomaly records of the modern Pacific. Then, we present new and review published paleomagnetic data from OPS exposed in the accretionary complexes of Cedros Island (Mexico), the Santa Elena Peninsula (Costa Rica), the North Island of New Zealand, and Japan. These data provide paleolatitudinal plate motion components of the Farallon, Phoenix and Izanagi plates, and constrain the trajectories of these plates from their spreading ridges towards the trenches in which they subducted. For 83 to 150 Ma, we use two independent mantle frames to connect the Panthalassa plate system to the Indo-Atlantic plate system and test the feasibility of this approach with the paleomagnetic data. For times prior to 150 Ma, and as far back as Permian time, we reconstruct relative and absolute Panthalassa plate motions such that divergence is maintained between the Izanagi, Farallon and Phoenix plates, convergence is maintained with Pangean continental margins in Japan, Mexico and New Zealand, and paleomagnetic constraints are met. The reconstruction approach developed here enables data-based reconstruction of oceanic plates and plate boundaries in the absence of marine magnetic anomaly data or mantle reference frames, using Ocean Plate Stratigraphy, paleo-magnetism, and constraints on the nature of circum-oceanic plate boundaries. Such an approach is a crucial next step towards quantitative reconstruction of the currently largely unknown tectonic evolution of the Earth's oceanic domains in deep geological time.
潘塔拉萨洋环绕着晚古生代-早中生代的盘古超大陆,其下方是多个构造板块,这些板块后来因俯冲而消失。在这项研究中,我们开发了一种利用增生海洋板块地层学(OPS)的古地磁数据重建俯冲岩石圈板块运动的方法。我们首先通过使用现有的印度-大西洋板块重建和潘塔拉萨海沟复杂板块边界变形的恢复,建立潘塔拉萨域的边界。我们利用现代太平洋的海洋磁异常记录重建了190 Ma前的太平洋板块及其共轭物Farallon、Phoenix和Izanagi板块。然后,我们介绍了在塞德罗斯岛(墨西哥)、圣埃琳娜半岛(哥斯达黎加)、新西兰北岛和日本的增生杂岩中暴露的OPS的新的和已发表的古地磁数据。这些数据提供了Farallon、Phoenix和Izanagi板块的古纬度板块运动分量,并限制了这些板块从扩张山脊到俯冲海沟的轨迹。对于83至150 Ma,我们使用两个独立的地幔框架将潘塔拉萨板块系统连接到印度-大西洋板块系统,并用古地磁数据测试了这种方法的可行性。对于150 Ma之前的时间,以及早在二叠纪的时间,我们重建了潘塔拉萨板块的相对和绝对运动,使得伊扎纳吉板块、法拉隆板块和菲尼克斯板块之间保持分歧,与日本、墨西哥和新西兰的盘古大陆边缘保持会聚,并满足古地磁约束。这里开发的重建方法能够在没有海洋磁异常数据或地幔参考系的情况下,利用海洋板块地层学、古地磁和环洋板块边界性质的约束,对海洋板块和板块边界进行基于数据的重建。这种方法是定量重建地球海洋在深部地质时代的构造演化的关键下一步。

Located in the Western Block of the North China Craton, the Khondalite Belt is one of the three Paleoproterozoic tectonic belts that were linked to the final assembly of the craton. At present, a popular model is that the Khondalite Belt was formed by the collision between the Yinshan and Ordos blocks at ∼1.95 Ga. However, the initiation of oceanic subduction and its related arc magmatism and accretionary process before the collisional event were poorly constrained. The Daqingshan Complex is located in the middle East part of the Khondalite Belt, and contains highly deformed and metamorphosed rock assemblages, and thus represents a key area to decipher the above issue. In this study, we carried out petrological, geochemical and geochronological analysis on the TTG granitoids of the Daqingshan Complex. Zircon U-Pb results from three typical TTG samples yielded upper intercept ages of 2545 ± 50 Ma, 2484 ± 68 Ma and 2452 ± 32 Ma, indicating that the TTG granitoids were emplaced in the late Neoarchean. Metamorphic zircons from two samples gave 207Pb/206Pb weighted mean ages of 1892 ± 53 Ma and 1906 ± 27 Ma, respectively, recording the timing of a continent-to-continent collisional event. Thirteen TTG granitoid samples are geochemically low-, medium- and high-K calc-alkaline, with metaluminous to peraluminous trends and are enriched in large-ion lithophile elements (LILEs) such as Rb, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, and depleted in high field strength elements (HFSEs) such as Nb and Ta. Chondrite-normalized rare earth element (REE) patterns show fractionation with (La/Yb) N ratios ranging from 8.20 to 27.47, with weak Eu negative anomalies (δEu = 0.50 – 0.98). In addition, TTG granitoids of the Daqingshan Complex belong to I-type granitoids, and their igneous protoliths were intimately related to a subduction-related magmatic arc environment. New results of this study reveal that the initial oceanic lithosphere subduction operated since ∼2.55 Ga along the southern margin of the Yinshan Block, and generated the coeval arc-related TTG granitoids. Closure of the ocean led to the final collision between the Yinshan and Ordos blocks and the amalgamation of the Western Block at 1.95 to 1.85 Ga.
孔雀岩带位于华北克拉通西地块,是与华北克拉通最终拼合相联系的三个古元古代构造带之一。目前流行的一种模式是,孔达利岩带是在~ 1.95 Ga由阴山地块与鄂尔多斯地块碰撞形成的。然而,对碰撞前洋俯冲的起始及其相关的弧岩浆活动和增生过程却知之甚少。大青山杂岩位于孔达利岩带的中东部,具有高度变形变质的岩石组合,是破解上述问题的关键区域。本文对大青山杂岩TTG花岗岩进行了岩石学、地球化学和年代学分析。3个典型TTG样品的锆石U-Pb上截距年龄分别为2545±50 Ma、2484±68 Ma和2452±32 Ma,表明TTG花岗岩类的侵位时间为新太古代晚期。两个变质锆石样品的207Pb/206Pb加权平均年龄分别为1892±53 Ma和1906±27 Ma,记录了大陆与大陆碰撞事件的时间。13个TTG花岗岩样地球化学特征为低、中、高钾钙碱性,具有偏铝质至过铝质倾向,富集Rb、Ba、La、Ce、Nd等大离子亲石元素,贫Nb、Ta等高场强元素。球粒陨石归一化稀土元素(REE)模式显示分异,(La/Yb) N比值在8.20 ~ 27.47之间,弱Eu负异常(δEu = 0.50 ~ 0.98)。此外,大青山杂岩体的TTG花岗岩体属于i型花岗岩体,其火成岩原岩与俯冲相关的岩浆弧环境密切相关。新的研究结果表明,自~ 2.55 Ga以来,阴山地块南缘发生了初始洋岩石圈俯冲,形成了与弧相关的同世TTG花岗岩类。在1.95 ~ 1.85 Ga,海洋的封闭导致了阴山地块与鄂尔多斯地块的最终碰撞和西部地块的合并。

Establishing the timing of surface uplift in the Central Andes is essential for evaluating the geodynamic mechanisms responsible for mountain building and their role in the development of dry conditions along the western coasts of Peru and Chile. Here, we present new stable hydrogen isotopic values from stream waters and hydration water in volcanic glass from northern Chile (18.5–19.5°S) that show that the Western Cordillera was already elevated by the early Miocene. The hydrogen isotopic values of reconstructed surface waters obtained from ancient and modern volcanic glass indicate that the Western Cordillera in northern Chile attained modern elevations by at least 22.8 Ma. When combined with paleoaltimetric records from the Altiplano and northwestern Puna, these results demonstrate that surface uplift of the Andean plateau was a time-transgressive process that varied not just from west to east but also from north and south along the strike of the orogen. Our paleoaltimetry reconstruction also suggests that the Western Cordillera has blocked moisture coming from the east since at least the early Miocene, consistent with previously published evidence of arid-semiarid conditions in the Atacama Desert. However, hyperaridity on the western Andean slope developed later and appears to correspond with the timing of uplift in the Eastern Cordillera and Altiplano. Our results suggest that the growth of the Central Andean rain shadow relied not only on the elevation of the Western Cordillera but also on the widening of the plateau.
确定安第斯山脉中部地表隆起的时间对于评估造成造山的地球动力机制及其在秘鲁和智利西海岸干燥条件发展中的作用至关重要。在此,我们从智利北部(18.5-19.5°S)火山玻璃的溪流水和水化水中获得了新的稳定氢同位素值,表明西科迪勒拉在中新世早期已经升高。古、现代火山玻璃重建的地表水氢同位素值表明,智利北部西科迪勒拉至少在22.8 Ma之前达到现代海拔高度。当与Altiplano和Puna西北部的古高程记录相结合时,这些结果表明安第斯高原的表面隆起是一个时间海侵过程,不仅从西到东,而且沿着造山带的走向从北向南变化。我们的古测高重建还表明,至少从中新世早期开始,西科迪勒拉就阻挡了来自东部的水分,这与之前发表的阿塔卡马沙漠干旱-半干旱条件的证据一致。然而,安第斯山脉西坡的极度干旱发展较晚,似乎与东部科迪勒拉和高原的隆升时间一致。我们的研究结果表明,安第斯中部雨影的生长不仅依赖于西部科迪勒拉的海拔高度,而且还依赖于高原的拓宽。

The dissolved chemistry of rivers has been extensively studied to elucidate physical and climatic controls of chemical weathering at local to global spatial scales, as well as the impacts of chemical weathering on climate over short to geologic temporal scales. Within this effort, mixing models with Monte Carlo uncertainty propagation are a common tool for inverting measurements of dissolved river chemistry to distinguish among contributions from end-members with distinct elemental and/or isotopic compositions. However, the methods underlying prior river inversion models have typically been opaque. Here we present Mixing Elements ANd Dissolved Isotopes in Rivers (MEANDIR), a set of MATLAB scripts that enable highly customizable inversion of dissolved river chemistry with Monte Carlo propagation of uncertainty. First, we present an overview of the mathematics underlying MEANDIR. This overview includes, among other topics, derivation of equations for mass balance, implementation of chlorine critical values, construction of cost functions, normalization to the sum of dissolved variables, quantification of river sulfate sourced from pyrite oxidation, resolution of petrogenic organic carbon oxidation, representation of secondary phase formation with isotopic fractionation, and calculation of the impact of weathering on atmospheric carbon dioxide. Second, we apply MEANDIR to five previously published datasets to demonstrate the sensitivity of results to parameter choices.

河流的溶解化学已被广泛研究,以阐明在局部到全球空间尺度上化学风化的物理和气候控制,以及化学风化对短期到地质时间尺度上气候的影响。在这项工作中,混合模型与蒙特卡罗不确定性传播是一种常用的工具,用于反演溶解河流化学的测量,以区分具有不同元素和/或同位素组成的端元的贡献。然而,先前河流反演模型的基础方法通常是不透明的。在这里,我们介绍了河流中的混合元素和溶解同位素(MEANDIR),这是一套MATLAB脚本,可以通过蒙特卡罗不确定性传播实现溶解河流化学的高度定制化反演。首先,我们概述了MEANDIR的数学基础。本综述包括质量平衡方程的推导、氯临界值的实现、成本函数的构建、溶解变量和的归一化、黄铁矿氧化产生的河流硫酸盐的量化、岩源有机碳氧化的分解、同位素分馏的二次相形成的表示以及风化作用对大气二氧化碳影响的计算。其次,我们将MEANDIR应用于五个先前发表的数据集,以证明结果对参数选择的敏感性。我们从两个全球河流化学汇编(Gaillardet等人,1999年;Burke等人,2018),秘鲁亚马逊河河流的主要元素化学和硫酸盐硫同位素比率(Torres等人,2016),冰岛河流的主要元素化学(Gíslason等人,1996),以及麦肯齐河水样的主要元素和微量元素化学(Horan等人,2019)。MEANDIR及其用户指南可在网上免费获得。

Origin and magmatic evolution of late Neoproterozoic post-accretion high-K calc-alkaline adakitic volcanics in the northern Arabian–Nubian Shield 阿拉伯-努比亚盾北部晚新元古代后增生高钾钙碱性埃达克质火山岩的成因与岩浆演化

In the northernmost segment of the Arabian–Nubian Shield, a post-collisional high-K calc-alkaline volcanic sequence is exposed along Wadi Abu Ma’amel, Eastern Desert of the Nubian Shield. It comprises a series of intermediate to silicic volcanics and associated pyroclastics that include the Imperial Porphyry and calc-alkaline volcanics typical of the Dokhan Volcanics. The Imperial Porphyry occurs as subvolcanic sill-like intrusions forming the young member of the Dokhan Volcanics. The volcanic sequence extruded through synorogenic granite and was intruded by post-collisional granite, which also caused thermal contact metamorphism. The red and purple colors of the Imperial Porphyry reflect hydrothermal alterations, which resulted in the formation of dispersed flakes of hematite, epidote, and piemontite. The entire high-K calc-alkaline volcanic sequence, ranging from andesite through dacite and rhyodacite, exhibits post-collisional geochemical characteristics. Most samples of the Imperial Porphyry and some of the typical Dokhan Volcanics have characteristics of adakitic rocks, including high Sr (694–889 ppm), low Y (10.6–18.8 ppm), high Sr/Y (41.1–83.8), (La/Yb)n (8.6–15.6), and low (Yb)n (5.4–9.0). The mostly calc-alkaline character and other traits of the studied volcanics that were previously interpreted to indicate arc magmatism reflect, instead, remelting of earlier (pre-collisional) arc-related material. The formation of Wadi Abu Ma'amel volcanics resulted from upwelling of hot asthenospheric material during thinning of the previously thickened lithosphere as a consequence of lithospheric delamination. The parental magma was generated by partial melting of mafic lower crust that mixed with upper-crust-derived magma. It evolved mostly through fractionation of clinopyroxene and plagioclase, accompanied by apatite and Fe–Ti oxides in the more-evolved dacitic and rhyodacitic rocks.
在阿拉伯-努比亚地盾的最北端,沿努比亚地盾东部沙漠Wadi Abu Ma 'amel暴露出一个碰撞后的高钾钙碱性火山序列。它由一系列中硅酸火山岩和伴生火山碎屑组成,其中包括帝国斑岩和多汗火山岩的典型钙碱性火山岩。帝国斑岩是次火山岩状侵入体,形成了多汗火山的年轻成员。火山层序在同造花岗岩中挤出,并被后碰撞花岗岩侵入,也引起了热接触变质作用。皇斑岩的红色和紫色反映了热液蚀变,这导致了赤铁矿、绿帘石和片铁矿的分散薄片的形成。整个高钾钙碱性火山序列,从安山岩到英安岩和流纹石,呈现出碰撞后的地球化学特征。大部分御斑岩样品和部分典型多罕火山岩样品具有高Sr (694 ~ 889 ppm)、低Y (10.6 ~ 18.8 ppm)、高Sr/Y(41.1 ~ 83.8)、(La/Yb)n(8.6 ~ 15.6)、低(Yb)n(5.4 ~ 9.0)的埃达质岩石特征。所研究的火山的主要钙碱性特征和其他特征先前被解释为表明弧岩浆作用,相反,反映了早期(碰撞前)与弧相关的物质的重熔。Wadi Abu Ma'amel火山的形成是由于岩石圈剥离导致先前增厚的岩石圈变薄期间,热软流圈物质上涌而成。母岩浆是由基性下地壳部分熔融与上地壳衍生岩浆混合形成的。它主要通过斜辉石和斜长石的分选演化而来,在较演化的英安岩和流纹岩中伴以磷灰石和铁钛氧化物。

A thermodynamic model is formulated for (Ca,Na)2(Mg,Fe2+,Al,Fe3+)T1 (Al,Fe3+,Si)2T2O7 melilites. It employs the compositional vertices: åkermanite (Ca2MgSi2O7, 1), gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7, 2), iron åkermanite (Ca2Fe2+Si2O7, 3), ferrigehlenite (Ca2Fe23 + SiO7, 4), sodium melilite (NaCaAlSi2O7, 5), and the convergent ordering variables: s = XAl3 + T2a – XAl3+T2b and t = XFe3 + T2a – XFe3 + T2b to describe the distribution of Al3+, Fe3+ and Si4+ between T2 subsites T2a and T2b. It is calibrated for åkermanite–gehlenite melilites based on the calorimetric data of Charlu and others (1981), the assumption that the synthetic samples of Charlu and others approached “equilibrium” states of Al-Si tetrahedral ordering at 970 K, and analogy with the Al2(MgSi) − 1 substitution in CaMgSi2O6 – CaMg1/2Ti1/2AlSiO6 – CaAl2SiO6 fassaites (for example, Sack and Ghiorso, 2017). In this model gehlenite has a disordered Al-Si distribution on T2 sites above 1443 K (1170 °C), consistent with the crystallographic data on c/a ratios of lattice parameters as a function of annealing temperature (Woodhead and Waldbaum, 1974) and the high-temperature heat capacities inferred from drop calorimetric data (Pankratz and Kelley,1964). However, above this critical temperature a partially ordered Al-Si distribution persists between T2a and T2b sites in åkermanite – gehlenite solid solutions with intermediate X2 (for example, 0.19 < X2 < 0.89 at 1573 K). To a first approximation activity-composition relations of the gehlenite component approximate those of ideal mixing (that is, ai = Xi), particularly in gehlenite-rich compositions, but those of åkermanite component display pronounced temperature dependence in intermediate compositions. Enthalpies of formation of åkermanite and gehlenite from the elements at 298.15 K, ΔH¯f 298.15o AK and ΔH¯f 298.15o GEHL, consistent with the experimental brackets on decarbonation equilibria of Walter (1963), Hoschek (1974), and Shmulovich (1974), the thermodynamic model for åkermanite-gehlenite melilites developed here, the thermodynamic properties of the other phases in these reactions tabulated by Berman (1988), and the revised estimates for C¯p and S¯298.15o of diopside of Sack and Ghiorso (2017), are roughly 1 and 3 (kJ/gfw) more positive than those estimated by Berman (1988). More positive standard enthalpies of formation of both endmembers, together with a decrease in the vibrational heat capacity of gehlenite and less negative deviations from ideal mixing compared with previous calibrations, all contribute to reducing the stability of melilites in this model. Together these effects will decrease the predicted temperature of condensation of melilite from nebular vapors, bringing calculated temperatures of melilite condensation into closer alignment with those of MgAl2O4 spinel than the 80 to 100 K separating their appearances in previous calculations (for example, Yoneda and Grossman, 1995; Petaev and Wood,1998; Ebel and Grossman,2000).

Detailed bedrock mapping, structural geology, meta-igneous whole rock geochemistry, and U-Pb geochronology from rocks sampled along a portion of a complexly deformed tectonic boundary between the Ordovician peri-Gondwanan Liberty-Orrington belt and Silurian syn-orogenic strata of the Fredericton trough (a.k.a. the Dog Bay Line) in mid-coastal Maine aid in deciphering the Silurian-Devonian tectonic evolution of the region. The new results provide constraints on several key events. First, initial terrane juxtapositioning occurred along the east-verging Boothbay thrust fault (D1). This tectonism occurred prior to 423 Ma and is associated with the accretion of the Ganderian microcontinent to the Laurentian margin (that is, the Salinic orogeny). Subsequently, intrusion of an ultra-potassic magma, the protolith of the Edgecomb Gneiss, occurred at ca. 413 Ma. Its distinctive whole rock geochemical signature allows for correlation with rocks of similar composition and age along a relatively narrow 140 kilometer long distance on the northwestern margin of the Fredericton trough. This restricted area of ultra-potassic magma generation is attributed to the breakoff of the descending Salinic oceanic slab that triggered decompression melting of a previously metasomatized mantle wedge region beneath the accreted Ganderian microcontinent. Early thrust faults (D1) and the ca. 413 Edgecomb Gneiss igneous protolith were overprinted by an episode of upright folding (D2) and low-pressure amphibolite facies metamorphism associated with the Early to Middle Devonian Acadian orogeny. Zircon overgrowths in the Edgecomb Gneiss dated at ca. 399 Ma grew during this tectonic episode. Comparisons with previous geochronological studies across the region suggest this dominant phase of Acadian deformation and metamorphism was long-lived (ca. 40 m.y.) and associated with the outboard accretion of the Avalonian microcontinent. Dextral shear structures represent the final phase of deformation (D3) superimposed on this terrane boundary and are associated with the Norumbega fault and shear zone system that was active in Middle Devonian-Carboniferous time.

Terrestrial biomarker isotope records of late Quaternary climate and source-to-sink sediment transport processes in southwestern Taiwan 台湾西南部晚第四纪气候与源汇输沙过程的陆相生物标记同位素记录

Fluvial sediments are important archives of paleoenvironments. However, variations in sediment production and transport processes greatly influence sediment geochemistry and resultant interpretations of ancient conditions. Tectonically-active tropical regions are particularly sensitive to climate feedbacks because these areas are often characterized by high precipitation rates, rapid erosion and short sediment residence times. We analyzed the hydrogen and carbon isotope composition of plant-derived n-alkanes (δ2Hn-alkane and δ13Cn-alkane) in sediment cores along the Gaoping River-submarine canyon system in southwestern Taiwan to examine climatic and geomorphic controls on isotope geochemical signatures of fluvial sedimentary archives. These records span the last ∼26 kyr and provide critical insight into the temporal and spatial variations in sedimentary biomarker isotopes within a source-to-sink system. Isotope data are coupled with new results from an iCESM 1.2 Earth System Model of precipitation isotopes during the last glacial-interglacial cycle. Biomarker isotope and modeling results support two important conclusions. First, biomarker isotope values change by ∼10 to 15‰ in δ2Hn-alkane and ∼1 to 2‰ δ13Cn-alkane in offshore SW Taiwan through the late Quaternary deglaciation. These shifts are consistent with iCESM predictions and other records from the South China Sea and are best explained by a shift in isotope hydrology due to regional warming and biologic responses to increased atmospheric pCO2. Second, the δ2Hn-alkane of biomarkers preserved in onshore sediments proximal to the mountain range is ∼15 to 20‰ more negative than biomarkers deposited in offshore sites, and the temporal change in carbon isotopes exceeds that observed in the offshore deposits. The onshore core locality is proximal to the orogen and characterized by a mean elevation > 1 km compared to the offshore site, which has a mean catchment elevation of ∼500 m. These data show that depositional setting and catchment hypsometry strongly bias the geochemical signature of sediments transported through the river system. The magnitude of isotopic variability generated by catchment geometry and sediment integration greatly exceeds the change associated with warming during deglaciation. This result suggests that catchment integration processes may play a similar or larger role in shaping fluvial geochemical records in tropical mountain systems than climatic factors.
河流沉积物是古环境的重要档案。然而,沉积物产生和运输过程的变化极大地影响了沉积物地球化学以及由此产生的对古代条件的解释。构造活跃的热带地区对气候反馈特别敏感,因为这些地区通常具有高降水率、快速侵蚀和沉积物停留时间短的特点。我们分析了台湾西南部高坪河-海底峡谷系统沉积物岩心中植物源正构烷烃(δ2正构烷烃和δ13正构烷烃)的氢和碳同位素组成,以检验气候和地貌对河流沉积档案同位素地球化学特征的控制。这些记录跨越了最近~26千年,为源-汇系统内沉积生物标志物同位素的时间和空间变化提供了重要的见解。同位素数据与iCESM 1.2地球系统模型中最后一次冰川-间冰循环期间降水同位素的新结果相结合。生物标志物同位素和建模结果支持了两个重要结论。首先,在台湾西南近海的δ2正构烷烃和δ13正构烷烃中,生物标志物同位素值在第四纪晚期消冰作用期间变化约10至15‰。这些变化与iCESM的预测和南中国海的其他记录一致,最好用区域变暖和对大气pCO2增加的生物反应引起的同位素水文变化来解释。其次,保存在山脉附近的陆上沉积物中的生物标志物的δ2Hn烷烃比沉积在近海的生物标志物质多负约15至20‰,碳同位素的时间变化超过了在近海沉积物中观察到的变化。陆上岩心位置靠近造山带,其特征是平均海拔>1 km,而海上现场的平均集水区海拔为~500 m。这些数据表明,沉积环境和集水区海拔高度极大地偏离了通过河流系统输送的沉积物的地球化学特征。集水区几何形状和沉积物整合产生的同位素变化幅度大大超过了冰川消退期间与变暖相关的变化。这一结果表明,与气候因素相比,集水区整合过程在形成热带山区系统的河流地球化学记录方面可能发挥类似或更大的作用。
{"title":"Terrestrial biomarker isotope records of late Quaternary climate and source-to-sink sediment transport processes in southwestern Taiwan","authors":"Q. Chang, M. Hren, A. Lin, C. Tabor, Shun Yu, Y. Eley, G. Harris","doi":"10.2475/04.2021.01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2475/04.2021.01","url":null,"abstract":"Fluvial sediments are important archives of paleoenvironments. However, variations in sediment production and transport processes greatly influence sediment geochemistry and resultant interpretations of ancient conditions. Tectonically-active tropical regions are particularly sensitive to climate feedbacks because these areas are often characterized by high precipitation rates, rapid erosion and short sediment residence times. We analyzed the hydrogen and carbon isotope composition of plant-derived n-alkanes (δ2Hn-alkane and δ13Cn-alkane) in sediment cores along the Gaoping River-submarine canyon system in southwestern Taiwan to examine climatic and geomorphic controls on isotope geochemical signatures of fluvial sedimentary archives. These records span the last ∼26 kyr and provide critical insight into the temporal and spatial variations in sedimentary biomarker isotopes within a source-to-sink system. Isotope data are coupled with new results from an iCESM 1.2 Earth System Model of precipitation isotopes during the last glacial-interglacial cycle. Biomarker isotope and modeling results support two important conclusions. First, biomarker isotope values change by ∼10 to 15‰ in δ2Hn-alkane and ∼1 to 2‰ δ13Cn-alkane in offshore SW Taiwan through the late Quaternary deglaciation. These shifts are consistent with iCESM predictions and other records from the South China Sea and are best explained by a shift in isotope hydrology due to regional warming and biologic responses to increased atmospheric pCO2. Second, the δ2Hn-alkane of biomarkers preserved in onshore sediments proximal to the mountain range is ∼15 to 20‰ more negative than biomarkers deposited in offshore sites, and the temporal change in carbon isotopes exceeds that observed in the offshore deposits. The onshore core locality is proximal to the orogen and characterized by a mean elevation > 1 km compared to the offshore site, which has a mean catchment elevation of ∼500 m. These data show that depositional setting and catchment hypsometry strongly bias the geochemical signature of sediments transported through the river system. The magnitude of isotopic variability generated by catchment geometry and sediment integration greatly exceeds the change associated with warming during deglaciation. This result suggests that catchment integration processes may play a similar or larger role in shaping fluvial geochemical records in tropical mountain systems than climatic factors.","PeriodicalId":7660,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Science","volume":"321 1","pages":"393 - 423"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47592052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
