Krakenes is the site of a small lake on the west coast of Norway that contains a long sequence of late-glacial sediments. The Younger Dryas is well represented, as a cirque glacier developed in the catchment at this time. This site offers unique opportunities to reconstruct late-glacial environments from independent sources of evidence; physical evidence (glacial geomorphology, sedimentology, palaeomagnetism, radiocarbon dating), and biological evidence from the remains of animals and plants derived from both the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This report describes the background to the site, and the international multidisciplinary project to reconstruct late-glacial and early Holocene environmental and climatic changes at Krakenes.

Shieh; Qiang He; Liwei Deng; Yanyao Zhang; Linlin Chang; Fei Wang; Xinguo Hong; Zhiqiang Chen;Abstract The compressibility of the spinel solid solutions, (Mg1−xMnx)Cr2O4 with x = 0.00 (0), 0.20 (0), 0.44 (2), 0.61 (2), 0.77 (2) and 1.00 (0), has been investigated by using a diamond-anvil cell coupled with synchrotron X-ray radiation up to ∼10 GPa (ambient T). The second-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state was used to fit the P V data, yielding the following values for the isothermal bulk moduli (KT), 198.2 (36), 187.8 (87), 176.1 (32), 168.7 (52), 192.9 (61) and 199.2 (61) GPa, for the spinel solid solutions with x = 0.00 (0), 0.20 (0), 0.44 (2), 0.61 (2), 0.77 (2) and 1.00 (0), respectively ( K T ′ fixed as 4). The KT value of the MgCr2O4 spinel is in good agreement with existing experimental determinations and theoretical calculations. The correlation between the KT and x is not monotonic, with the KT values similar at both ends of the binary MgCr2O4 MnCr2O4, but decreasing towards the middle. This non-monotonic correlation can be described by two equations, KT = −49.2 (11)x + 198.0 (4) (x ≤ ∼0.6) and KT = 92 (41)x + 115 (30) (x ≥ ∼0.6), and can be explained by the evolution of the average bond lengths of the tetrahedra and octahedra of the spinel solid solutions. Additionally, the relationship between the thermal expansion coefficient and composition is correspondingly reinterpreted, the continuous deformation of the oxygen array is demonstrated, and the evolution of the component polyhedra is discussed for this series of spinel solid solutions. Our results suggest that the correlation between the KT and composition of a solid solution series may be complicated, and great care should be paid while estimating the KT of some intermediate compositions from the KT of the end-members.

Loader; Jamie J. Wilkinson; Yannick Buret; Robert H. Sievwright; Pete Hollings;<p>The chemical diversity observed in the rock record of volcanic arcs is determined by a multitude of processes operating between the magma source region and the surface. A fundamental step in producing this variability is fractional crystallisation, assimilation and melting in the lower crust which drives magmas to more evolved and hydrous compositions. During extensive fractionation of hydrous magmas in the lower crust, amphibole (&#177; garnet) is stabilized in the fractionating assemblage and plagioclase is suppressed resulting in melts with elevated Sr, an absence of strong negative Eu anomalies (both elements being compatible in plagioclase), and depleted Y (compatible in amphibole and garnet). The high Sr/Y values that result can be used to provide insights into arc magma evolution, evaluate whether a magmatic system has the potential to form a porphyry-related ore deposit and track crustal thickness. However, this deep fractionation history may be obscured due to differentiation and mixing upon ascent to the shallow crust. Since arc rocks are a product of this multi-stage, polybaric process, unravelling the complete history of magmatic evolution using bulk-rock chemistry alone can be challenging. However, accessory minerals such as apatite, are capable of capturing discrete periods of melt evolution during differentiation [1]. For example, apatite has been shown to record the Sr content of the melt at the time of its crystallization which has been used to reconstruct host rock compositions in provenance studies [2, 3].</p><p>Here, we use a novel approach to track the petrogenesis of arc magmas using apatite trace element chemistry in volcanic formations from the Cenozoic arc of Central Chile. These rocks formed during magmatism that culminated in high Sr/Y magmas and porphyry ore deposit formation in the Miocene. We use Sr/Y, Eu/Eu* and Mg in apatite to demonstrate that apatite tracks the multi-stage differentiation of arc magmas. We apply fractional crystallization modelling to show that early crystallizing apatite inherits a high Sr/Y and Eu/Eu* melt chemistry signature that is predetermined by amphibole-dominated fractional crystallization in the lower crust. Our modelling shows that crystallisation of the in-situ host rock mineral assemblage in the shallow crust causes competition for trace elements in the melt that leads to apatite compositions diverging from bulk magma chemistry. Understanding this decoupling behaviour is important for the use of apatite as an indicator of metallogenic fertility in arcs and for interpretation of provenance in detrital studies. We suggest our approach is widely applicable for unravelling the composite evolution of arc magmas and studying magmatic processes conducive to porphyry ore deposit formation.</p><p>References</p><p>[1] Miles, A.J., Graham, C.M., Hawkesworth, C.J., Gillespie, M.R., and Hinton, R.W., 2013, Evidence for distinct stages of magma history recorded by the compositions of accessory apatite and zircon: Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology.</p><p>[2] Jennings, E.S., Marschall, H.R., Hawkesworth, C.J., and Storey, C.D., 2011, Characterization of magma from inclusions in zircon: Apatite and biotite work well, feldspar less so: Geology.</p><p>[3] Bruand, E., Storey, C., and Fowler, M., 2016, An apatite for progress: Inclusions in zircon and titanite constrain petrogenesis and provenance: Geology, v. 44, p. 91&#8211;94.</p>

Fenton; Li Min Zhang;Honghu Zhu; D. V. Griffiths; Gordon A. Fenton; Li Min Zhang;Abstract Since the charts of Taylor (1937), it has been well known in engineering geological investigations that the location of the critical failure mechanism in a homogeneous undrained clay slope goes either deep (tangent to a firm base) or shallow (through the toe) depending on whether the slope angle is less than or greater than about 53°. In reality, natural soils always exhibit spatial variability and the above expectations no longer hold true. The objective of this note is to investigate the failure mechanisms and probability of failure of slopes in random undrained soil over a wide range of slope angles. An elastic–perfectly plastic finite element method in combination with random field generation, well known as the random finite element method (RFEM), is employed. RFEM represents a powerful tool for slope stability analyses that allow mechanisms to develop naturally within soil masses. It is found that, for certain combinations of random field properties, relatively flat slopes may display a significant number of shallow mechanisms and steeper slopes may display a significant number of deep mechanisms. For a steep slope, the more variable the undrained shear strength, the less likely the slope is to display a toe mechanism. Understanding the uncertainty of failure mechanisms is important because the consequences may be more serious in a deep failure as it involves a greater volume of soil.

Piper; Zhaojie Guo; Wei Li;Abstract The Permian to early Triassic terrestrial successions in the Mahu sag constrain the tectonic evolution of northwestern edge of the Junggar basin. This study analyzes the sequence stratigraphy of the Mahu sag in order to understand the interplay between tectonic process and the sedimentary fill of the basin. It uses detailed analysis of drill cores, geophysical well logs, 2D seismic reflection profiles and isopach maps. Sixteen lithofacies are grouped into three facies associations: fan delta, fluvial delta and lacustrine. The Permian to Triassic strata are organized into two second-order transgressive-regressive (T-R) sequences, further separated into transgressive systems tracts (TST) and regressive system tracts (RST). Based on seismic profiles, paleogeographic facies distribution and isopach maps, two stages of tectonic evolution are recognized: 1) early Permian syn-rift to middle Permian post-rift; 2) late Permian to early Triassic tectonic inversion. During the early Permian, sediments of TST1 record two cycles of depositional system transition from fan delta to deep lacustrine setting within the half-graben structure shown by 2D seismic profiles. At this time, tectonic mechanical subsidence exceeded sediment supply. The middle Permian post-rift stage (RST2) is characterized by gradual and slow peneplanation, which is documented by sediment supply exceeding thermal subsidence, so that the location of depocenter shifted and the depositional system transitioned from lacustrine to fan delta setting. Late Permian-early Triassic tectonic inversion is demonstrated by a striking change of the sediment dispersal patterns along the Hong-Che, Ke-Bai and Wu-Xia fault zones and alluvial fan deposition at the base of TST2. Tectonism is the main factor controlling sediment dispersal, paleogeographic evolution and hence hydrocarbon accumulation, providing a new perspective to oil and gas exploration and development in the Mahu sag.

Macklin;Abstract The April 1998 breaching of the Aznalcollar tailings dam at Boliden Apirsa's Spanish Aznalcollar/Los Frailes Ag–Cu–Pb–Zn mine resulted in the flooding of the Rios Agrio and Guadiamar with arsenic (As)-rich tailings and water. Mineralogical and geochemical characterisation of water and sediment from five ephemeral pools on the Agrio–Guadiamar floodplain has been carried out to understand how the As is sequestered and to evaluate the long-term stability of the As-bearing phases. Dissolved As concentrations in pool waters range from an extreme of 85,000 μg l − 1 down to 5.5 μg l − 1 . XANES, EXAFS, XRD, X-ray mapping, electron microprobe analysis and single chemical extractions suggest that As in the sediments is sequestered in sulphide (As 0 in arsenopyrite and pyrite, coordinated by 1 S and 3 Fe) and in Fe oxide (AsV in arsenate, coordinated by 4 O, bound to Fe oxide and Fe sulphate, probably jarosite). The pools evolved as a result of the interaction of rainwater with the sediments, and As concentrations are controlled by evaporation and by the amount of tailings (and specifically, arsenopyrite) in the sediments that remained even after clean-up efforts. The arsenopyrite remaining in the floodplain sediment is potentially highly reactive under the prevailing pH and Eh conditions on the floodplain, and will probably continue to provide As to ephemeral pools and possibly, Agrio–Guadiamar river water.

Rozanov; E. Rozanov; A. Stenke; T. Y. Tanaka; D. Visioni; Y. Yamashita; Y. Yamashita;We perform the first multi-model intercomparison of the impact of nudged meteorology on the stratospheric residual circulation using hindcast simulations from the Chemistry–Climate Model Initiative (CCMI). We examine simulations over the period 1980–2009 from seven models in which the meteorological fields are nudged towards a reanalysis dataset and compare these with their equivalent free-running simulations and the reanalyses themselves. We show that for the current implementations, nudging meteorology does not constrain the mean strength of the stratospheric residual circulation and that the inter-model spread is similar, or even larger, than in the free-running simulations. The nudged models generally show slightly stronger upwelling in the tropical lower stratosphere compared to the free-running versions and exhibit marked differences compared to the directly estimated residual circulation from the reanalysis dataset they are nudged towards. Downward control calculations applied to the nudged simulations reveal substantial differences between the climatological lower-stratospheric tropical upward mass flux (TUMF) computed from the modelled wave forcing and that calculated directly from the residual circulation. This explicitly shows that nudging decouples the wave forcing and the residual circulation so that the divergence of the angular momentum flux due to the mean motion is not balanced by eddy motions, as would typically be expected in the time mean. Overall, nudging meteorological fields leads to increased inter-model spread for most of the measures of the mean climatological stratospheric residual circulation assessed in this study. In contrast, the nudged simulations show a high degree of consistency in the inter-annual variability in the TUMF in the lower stratosphere, which is primarily related to the contribution to variability from the resolved wave forcing. The more consistent inter-annual variability in TUMF in the nudged models also compares more closely with the variability found in the reanalyses, particularly in boreal winter. We apply a multiple linear regression (MLR) model to separate the drivers of inter-annual and long-term variations in the simulated TUMF; this explains up to ∼75 % of the variance in TUMF in the nudged simulations. The MLR model reveals a statistically significant positive trend in TUMF for most models over the period 1980–2009. The TUMF trend magnitude is generally larger in the nudged models compared to their free-running counterparts, but the intermodel range of trends doubles from around a factor of 2 to a factor of 4 due to nudging. Furthermore, the nudged models generally do not match the TUMF trends in the reanalysis they are nudged towards for trends over different periods in the interval 1980–2009. Hence, we conclude that nudging does not strongly constrain long-term trends simulated by the chemistry–climate model (CCM) in the residual circulation. Our findings show that while nudged simulations may, by construction, produce accurate temperatures and realistic representations of fast horizontal transport, this is not typically the case for the slower zonal mean vertical transport in the stratosphere. Consequently, caution is required when using nudged simulations to interpret the behaviour of stratospheric tracers that are affected by the residual circulation.

Studies of experimentally deformed rocks and small-scale natural shear zones have demonstrated that volumetrically minor phases can control strain localisation by limiting grain growth and promoting grain-size sensitive deformation mechanisms. These small-scale studies are often used to infer a critical role for minor phases in the development of plate boundaries. However, the role of minor phases in strain localisation at an actual plate boundary remains to be tested by direct observation. In order to test the hypothesis that minor phases control strain localisation at plate boundaries, we conducted microstructural analyses of peridotite samples collected along a ∼1 km transect across the base of the Oman-United Arab Emirates (UAE) ophiolite. The base of the ophiolite is marked by the Semail thrust, which represents the now exhumed contact between subducted oceanic crust and the overlying mantle wedge. As such, the base of the ophiolite provides the opportunity to directly examine a former plate boundary. Our results demonstrate that the mean olivine grain size is inversely proportional to the abundance of minor phases (primarily orthopyroxene, as well as clinopyroxene, hornblende, and spinel), consistent with suppression of grain growth by grain-boundary pinning. Our results also reveal that mean olivine grain size is proportional to CPO strength (both of which generally decrease towards the metamorphic sole), suggesting that the fraction of strain produced by different deformation mechanisms varied spatially. Experimentally-derived flow laws indicate that under the inferred deformation conditions, the viscosity of olivine was grain-size sensitive. As such, grain size, and thereby the abundance of minor phases, influenced viscosity during subduction-related deformation along the base of the mantle wedge. We calculate an order of magnitude decrease in the viscosity of olivine towards the base of the ophiolite, which suggests strain was localised near the subduction interface. Our data indicate that this rheological weakening was primarily the result of more abundant minor phases near the base of the ophiolite. Our interpretations are consistent with those of previous studies on experimentally deformed rocks and smaller-scale natural shear zones that indicate minor phases can exert the primary control on strain localisation. However, our study demonstrates for the first time that minor phases can control strain localisation at the scales relevant to a major plate boundary.

Abstract The most striking structural features in the interior of the Shan Plateau, southeast of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, are a series of NE-trending faults that exhibit sinistral movement and an arcuate geometry. Their origin and tectonic evolution remain poorly understood. Furthermore, a switch in slip sense is recorded along many of these faults, but the timing of kinematic reversal is still unclear, hindering an understanding of the causal geodynamic mechanisms. We conducted an integrative study of apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He thermochronology, 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, and structural and geomorphic analysis to decipher the evolution of two major NE-trending faults: the Nantinghe and Dayingjiang faults. At least three deformation stages are identified within the Nantinghe fault zone, including top-to-the-SE/ESE thrusting, dextral ductile strike-slip shearing, and sinistral movement. Zircon and apatite (U-Th)/He data, collected from the northeastern terminus of the Nantinghe fault, reveal rapid cooling in the early Miocene. Combined with the 40Ar/39Ar data from sinistrally sheared mylonite, left-lateral movement on the Nantinghe fault is inferred to have initiated as early as ca. 20 Ma. The Dayingjiang fault reactivated as a sinistral brittle fault along the dextral Yingjiang shear zone. A two-stage thermal history is identified along the shear zone, with prominent cooling during dextral ductile shearing in the early- to mid-Miocene followed by a lower-magnitude cooling episode at ca. 11 Ma caused by sinistral transtension along the Dayingjiang fault. The evolution of the Nantinghe and Dayingjiang faults suggests that the NE-trending fault system in the Shan Plateau may have developed along preexisting structures and underwent diachronous slip-sense inversion in the late Cenozoic. The northward advance of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis caused a major change in both the regional stress field and fault geometries in the eastern India-Eurasia oblique convergence zone, contributing to the inversion of fault kinematics.

Krakenes is the site of a small lake on the west coast of Norway that contains a long sequence of late-glacial sediments. The Younger Dryas is well represented, as a cirque glacier developed in the catchment at this time. This site offers unique opportunities to reconstruct late-glacial environments from independent sources of evidence; physical evidence (glacial geomorphology, sedimentology, palaeomagnetism, radiocarbon dating), and biological evidence from the remains of animals and plants derived from both the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This report describes the background to the site, and the international multidisciplinary project to reconstruct late-glacial and early Holocene environmental and climatic changes at Krakenes.

Shieh; Qiang He; Liwei Deng; Yanyao Zhang; Linlin Chang; Fei Wang; Xinguo Hong; Zhiqiang Chen;Abstract The compressibility of the spinel solid solutions, (Mg1−xMnx)Cr2O4 with x = 0.00 (0), 0.20 (0), 0.44 (2), 0.61 (2), 0.77 (2) and 1.00 (0), has been investigated by using a diamond-anvil cell coupled with synchrotron X-ray radiation up to ∼10 GPa (ambient T). The second-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state was used to fit the P V data, yielding the following values for the isothermal bulk moduli (KT), 198.2 (36), 187.8 (87), 176.1 (32), 168.7 (52), 192.9 (61) and 199.2 (61) GPa, for the spinel solid solutions with x = 0.00 (0), 0.20 (0), 0.44 (2), 0.61 (2), 0.77 (2) and 1.00 (0), respectively ( K T ′ fixed as 4). The KT value of the MgCr2O4 spinel is in good agreement with existing experimental determinations and theoretical calculations. The correlation between the KT and x is not monotonic, with the KT values similar at both ends of the binary MgCr2O4 MnCr2O4, but decreasing towards the middle. This non-monotonic correlation can be described by two equations, KT = −49.2 (11)x + 198.0 (4) (x ≤ ∼0.6) and KT = 92 (41)x + 115 (30) (x ≥ ∼0.6), and can be explained by the evolution of the average bond lengths of the tetrahedra and octahedra of the spinel solid solutions. Additionally, the relationship between the thermal expansion coefficient and composition is correspondingly reinterpreted, the continuous deformation of the oxygen array is demonstrated, and the evolution of the component polyhedra is discussed for this series of spinel solid solutions. Our results suggest that the correlation between the KT and composition of a solid solution series may be complicated, and great care should be paid while estimating the KT of some intermediate compositions from the KT of the end-members.

Loader; Jamie J. Wilkinson; Yannick Buret; Robert H. Sievwright; Pete Hollings;<p>The chemical diversity observed in the rock record of volcanic arcs is determined by a multitude of processes operating between the magma source region and the surface. A fundamental step in producing this variability is fractional crystallisation, assimilation and melting in the lower crust which drives magmas to more evolved and hydrous compositions. During extensive fractionation of hydrous magmas in the lower crust, amphibole (&#177; garnet) is stabilized in the fractionating assemblage and plagioclase is suppressed resulting in melts with elevated Sr, an absence of strong negative Eu anomalies (both elements being compatible in plagioclase), and depleted Y (compatible in amphibole and garnet). The high Sr/Y values that result can be used to provide insights into arc magma evolution, evaluate whether a magmatic system has the potential to form a porphyry-related ore deposit and track crustal thickness. However, this deep fractionation history may be obscured due to differentiation and mixing upon ascent to the shallow crust. Since arc rocks are a product of this multi-stage, polybaric process, unravelling the complete history of magmatic evolution using bulk-rock chemistry alone can be challenging. However, accessory minerals such as apatite, are capable of capturing discrete periods of melt evolution during differentiation [1]. For example, apatite has been shown to record the Sr content of the melt at the time of its crystallization which has been used to reconstruct host rock compositions in provenance studies [2, 3].</p><p>Here, we use a novel approach to track the petrogenesis of arc magmas using apatite trace element chemistry in volcanic formations from the Cenozoic arc of Central Chile. These rocks formed during magmatism that culminated in high Sr/Y magmas and porphyry ore deposit formation in the Miocene. We use Sr/Y, Eu/Eu* and Mg in apatite to demonstrate that apatite tracks the multi-stage differentiation of arc magmas. We apply fractional crystallization modelling to show that early crystallizing apatite inherits a high Sr/Y and Eu/Eu* melt chemistry signature that is predetermined by amphibole-dominated fractional crystallization in the lower crust. Our modelling shows that crystallisation of the in-situ host rock mineral assemblage in the shallow crust causes competition for trace elements in the melt that leads to apatite compositions diverging from bulk magma chemistry. Understanding this decoupling behaviour is important for the use of apatite as an indicator of metallogenic fertility in arcs and for interpretation of provenance in detrital studies. We suggest our approach is widely applicable for unravelling the composite evolution of arc magmas and studying magmatic processes conducive to porphyry ore deposit formation.</p><p>References</p><p>[1] Miles, A.J., Graham, C.M., Hawkesworth, C.J., Gillespie, M.R., and Hinton, R.W., 2013, Evidence for distinct stages of magma history recorded by the compositions of accessory apatite and zircon: Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology.</p><p>[2] Jennings, E.S., Marschall, H.R., Hawkesworth, C.J., and Storey, C.D., 2011, Characterization of magma from inclusions in zircon: Apatite and biotite work well, feldspar less so: Geology.</p><p>[3] Bruand, E., Storey, C., and Fowler, M., 2016, An apatite for progress: Inclusions in zircon and titanite constrain petrogenesis and provenance: Geology, v. 44, p. 91&#8211;94.</p>

Fenton; Li Min Zhang;Honghu Zhu; D. V. Griffiths; Gordon A. Fenton; Li Min Zhang;Abstract Since the charts of Taylor (1937), it has been well known in engineering geological investigations that the location of the critical failure mechanism in a homogeneous undrained clay slope goes either deep (tangent to a firm base) or shallow (through the toe) depending on whether the slope angle is less than or greater than about 53°. In reality, natural soils always exhibit spatial variability and the above expectations no longer hold true. The objective of this note is to investigate the failure mechanisms and probability of failure of slopes in random undrained soil over a wide range of slope angles. An elastic–perfectly plastic finite element method in combination with random field generation, well known as the random finite element method (RFEM), is employed. RFEM represents a powerful tool for slope stability analyses that allow mechanisms to develop naturally within soil masses. It is found that, for certain combinations of random field properties, relatively flat slopes may display a significant number of shallow mechanisms and steeper slopes may display a significant number of deep mechanisms. For a steep slope, the more variable the undrained shear strength, the less likely the slope is to display a toe mechanism. Understanding the uncertainty of failure mechanisms is important because the consequences may be more serious in a deep failure as it involves a greater volume of soil.

Piper; Zhaojie Guo; Wei Li;Abstract The Permian to early Triassic terrestrial successions in the Mahu sag constrain the tectonic evolution of northwestern edge of the Junggar basin. This study analyzes the sequence stratigraphy of the Mahu sag in order to understand the interplay between tectonic process and the sedimentary fill of the basin. It uses detailed analysis of drill cores, geophysical well logs, 2D seismic reflection profiles and isopach maps. Sixteen lithofacies are grouped into three facies associations: fan delta, fluvial delta and lacustrine. The Permian to Triassic strata are organized into two second-order transgressive-regressive (T-R) sequences, further separated into transgressive systems tracts (TST) and regressive system tracts (RST). Based on seismic profiles, paleogeographic facies distribution and isopach maps, two stages of tectonic evolution are recognized: 1) early Permian syn-rift to middle Permian post-rift; 2) late Permian to early Triassic tectonic inversion. During the early Permian, sediments of TST1 record two cycles of depositional system transition from fan delta to deep lacustrine setting within the half-graben structure shown by 2D seismic profiles. At this time, tectonic mechanical subsidence exceeded sediment supply. The middle Permian post-rift stage (RST2) is characterized by gradual and slow peneplanation, which is documented by sediment supply exceeding thermal subsidence, so that the location of depocenter shifted and the depositional system transitioned from lacustrine to fan delta setting. Late Permian-early Triassic tectonic inversion is demonstrated by a striking change of the sediment dispersal patterns along the Hong-Che, Ke-Bai and Wu-Xia fault zones and alluvial fan deposition at the base of TST2. Tectonism is the main factor controlling sediment dispersal, paleogeographic evolution and hence hydrocarbon accumulation, providing a new perspective to oil and gas exploration and development in the Mahu sag.

Macklin;Abstract The April 1998 breaching of the Aznalcollar tailings dam at Boliden Apirsa's Spanish Aznalcollar/Los Frailes Ag–Cu–Pb–Zn mine resulted in the flooding of the Rios Agrio and Guadiamar with arsenic (As)-rich tailings and water. Mineralogical and geochemical characterisation of water and sediment from five ephemeral pools on the Agrio–Guadiamar floodplain has been carried out to understand how the As is sequestered and to evaluate the long-term stability of the As-bearing phases. Dissolved As concentrations in pool waters range from an extreme of 85,000 μg l − 1 down to 5.5 μg l − 1 . XANES, EXAFS, XRD, X-ray mapping, electron microprobe analysis and single chemical extractions suggest that As in the sediments is sequestered in sulphide (As 0 in arsenopyrite and pyrite, coordinated by 1 S and 3 Fe) and in Fe oxide (AsV in arsenate, coordinated by 4 O, bound to Fe oxide and Fe sulphate, probably jarosite). The pools evolved as a result of the interaction of rainwater with the sediments, and As concentrations are controlled by evaporation and by the amount of tailings (and specifically, arsenopyrite) in the sediments that remained even after clean-up efforts. The arsenopyrite remaining in the floodplain sediment is potentially highly reactive under the prevailing pH and Eh conditions on the floodplain, and will probably continue to provide As to ephemeral pools and possibly, Agrio–Guadiamar river water.

Yamashita;We perform the first multi-model intercomparison of the impact of nudged meteorology on the stratospheric residual circulation using hindcast simulations from the Chemistry–Climate Model Initiative (CCMI). We examine simulations over the period 1980–2009 from seven models in which the meteorological fields are nudged towards a reanalysis dataset and compare these with their equivalent free-running simulations and the reanalyses themselves. We show that for the current implementations, nudging meteorology does not constrain the mean strength of the stratospheric residual circulation and that the inter-model spread is similar, or even larger, than in the free-running simulations. The nudged models generally show slightly stronger upwelling in the tropical lower stratosphere compared to the free-running versions and exhibit marked differences compared to the directly estimated residual circulation from the reanalysis dataset they are nudged towards. Downward control calculations applied to the nudged simulations reveal substantial differences between the climatological lower-stratospheric tropical upward mass flux (TUMF) computed from the modelled wave forcing and that calculated directly from the residual circulation. This explicitly shows that nudging decouples the wave forcing and the residual circulation so that the divergence of the angular momentum flux due to the mean motion is not balanced by eddy motions, as would typically be expected in the time mean. Overall, nudging meteorological fields leads to increased inter-model spread for most of the measures of the mean climatological stratospheric residual circulation assessed in this study. In contrast, the nudged simulations show a high degree of consistency in the inter-annual variability in the TUMF in the lower stratosphere, which is primarily related to the contribution to variability from the resolved wave forcing. The more consistent inter-annual variability in TUMF in the nudged models also compares more closely with the variability found in the reanalyses, particularly in boreal winter. We apply a multiple linear regression (MLR) model to separate the drivers of inter-annual and long-term variations in the simulated TUMF; this explains up to ∼75 % of the variance in TUMF in the nudged simulations. The MLR model reveals a statistically significant positive trend in TUMF for most models over the period 1980–2009. The TUMF trend magnitude is generally larger in the nudged models compared to their free-running counterparts, but the intermodel range of trends doubles from around a factor of 2 to a factor of 4 due to nudging. Furthermore, the nudged models generally do not match the TUMF trends in the reanalysis they are nudged towards for trends over different periods in the interval 1980–2009. Hence, we conclude that nudging does not strongly constrain long-term trends simulated by the chemistry–climate model (CCM) in the residual circulation. Our findings show that while nudged simulations may, by construction, produce accurate temperatures and realistic representations of fast horizontal transport, this is not typically the case for the slower zonal mean vertical transport in the stratosphere. Consequently, caution is required when using nudged simulations to interpret the behaviour of stratospheric tracers that are affected by the residual circulation.

Studies of experimentally deformed rocks and small-scale natural shear zones have demonstrated that volumetrically minor phases can control strain localisation by limiting grain growth and promoting grain-size sensitive deformation mechanisms. These small-scale studies are often used to infer a critical role for minor phases in the development of plate boundaries. However, the role of minor phases in strain localisation at an actual plate boundary remains to be tested by direct observation. In order to test the hypothesis that minor phases control strain localisation at plate boundaries, we conducted microstructural analyses of peridotite samples collected along a ∼1 km transect across the base of the Oman-United Arab Emirates (UAE) ophiolite. The base of the ophiolite is marked by the Semail thrust, which represents the now exhumed contact between subducted oceanic crust and the overlying mantle wedge. As such, the base of the ophiolite provides the opportunity to directly examine a former plate boundary. Our results demonstrate that the mean olivine grain size is inversely proportional to the abundance of minor phases (primarily orthopyroxene, as well as clinopyroxene, hornblende, and spinel), consistent with suppression of grain growth by grain-boundary pinning. Our results also reveal that mean olivine grain size is proportional to CPO strength (both of which generally decrease towards the metamorphic sole), suggesting that the fraction of strain produced by different deformation mechanisms varied spatially. Experimentally-derived flow laws indicate that under the inferred deformation conditions, the viscosity of olivine was grain-size sensitive. As such, grain size, and thereby the abundance of minor phases, influenced viscosity during subduction-related deformation along the base of the mantle wedge. We calculate an order of magnitude decrease in the viscosity of olivine towards the base of the ophiolite, which suggests strain was localised near the subduction interface. Our data indicate that this rheological weakening was primarily the result of more abundant minor phases near the base of the ophiolite. Our interpretations are consistent with those of previous studies on experimentally deformed rocks and smaller-scale natural shear zones that indicate minor phases can exert the primary control on strain localisation. However, our study demonstrates for the first time that minor phases can control strain localisation at the scales relevant to a major plate boundary.

Abstract The most striking structural features in the interior of the Shan Plateau, southeast of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, are a series of NE-trending faults that exhibit sinistral movement and an arcuate geometry. Their origin and tectonic evolution remain poorly understood. Furthermore, a switch in slip sense is recorded along many of these faults, but the timing of kinematic reversal is still unclear, hindering an understanding of the causal geodynamic mechanisms. We conducted an integrative study of apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He thermochronology, 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, and structural and geomorphic analysis to decipher the evolution of two major NE-trending faults: the Nantinghe and Dayingjiang faults. At least three deformation stages are identified within the Nantinghe fault zone, including top-to-the-SE/ESE thrusting, dextral ductile strike-slip shearing, and sinistral movement. Zircon and apatite (U-Th)/He data, collected from the northeastern terminus of the Nantinghe fault, reveal rapid cooling in the early Miocene. Combined with the 40Ar/39Ar data from sinistrally sheared mylonite, left-lateral movement on the Nantinghe fault is inferred to have initiated as early as ca. 20 Ma. The Dayingjiang fault reactivated as a sinistral brittle fault along the dextral Yingjiang shear zone. A two-stage thermal history is identified along the shear zone, with prominent cooling during dextral ductile shearing in the early- to mid-Miocene followed by a lower-magnitude cooling episode at ca. 11 Ma caused by sinistral transtension along the Dayingjiang fault. The evolution of the Nantinghe and Dayingjiang faults suggests that the NE-trending fault system in the Shan Plateau may have developed along preexisting structures and underwent diachronous slip-sense inversion in the late Cenozoic. The northward advance of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis caused a major change in both the regional stress field and fault geometries in the eastern India-Eurasia oblique convergence zone, contributing to the inversion of fault kinematics.
