Full textCatchment hydrological functions of water collection, storage and release have geochemical signatures in stream water largely mirroring those found in critical zone compartments. These signatures are strongly controlled by the different bio-geo-physico-chemical processes that occur within the regolith-plant interface. Until now, investigations into the critical zone’s regolith and hydrological processes research have largely remained uncoupled –leading to a widespread use of non-conservative tracers with multiple origins and thereby stymieing our capability for identifying water pools and flow paths. Here we study the mixing of water in the subsurface through a unique portfolio of complementary groups of tracers (trace elements O-Hand Sr-Nd-Pb-U isotopes) which enables investigating regolith evolution processes and solutes transport within the critical zone. We report the interest of this approach to strengthen water flowpaths and end-members characterization

Full textThe Albian-Santonian interval (~113-83 Ma) is a key period in Cretaceous history. This interval is characterised by a high seafloor spreading rate, related to the breakup of Pangea, and by a significant activity of large igneous provinces, which generate an increase in pCO2 (Arthur et al., 1985). These conditions lead to a progressive temperature increase until the mid-Cretaceous thermal maximum, recorded at the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary (~94 Ma). This latter is followed from the late Turonian by a decline in temperature and pCO2 (Linnert et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2014). A decrease of volcanic activity, an increase of carbonate production, and an enhanced organic carbon storage during the anoxic oceanic event OAE 2 (Cenomanian-Turonian boundary) are frequently cited to explain the pCO2 decline. However, silicate weathering can also be involved as a triggered mechanism for this decrease. The analyse of new boreholes, drilled during the IODP Leg 369 on the southern and southwestern margins of Australia, coupled with some old boreholes of the ODP Legs 122 and 123 on the northwestern margin, allowed us to investigate the evolution of weathering conditions during this interval at the middle and high latitudes in a poorly studied sector. A detailed work, based on clay mineralogy, has been done on six sites located in the Great Bay Basin (Site U1512), in the Mentelle Basin (sites U1513 & U1516), in the Carnarvon Basin (sites 763 & 766) and the Argo Abyssal Plain (Site 765), respectively. For 3 sites (U1512, U1513 and 763), these studies have been completed by SEM and TEM observations and geochemical analyses (Sr and Nd isotopic ratios and concentrations of major & trace elements). These new data have been compared to the several studies, already done in the Atlantic Ocean and in the peri-Tethyan domain. During the Albian-Turonian interval, the clay mineral assemblages are characterised by an increase in smectite proportions, observed over all the studied regions. This increase results from a combination of global and local parameters. The tectonic stabilisation of the African and North American margins reduces the physical weathering, which leads to a decrease in illite and chlorite proportions, and permits the implementation of pedogenetic processes, which favours the formation of smectites. The preferential weathering of volcanic rocks from the end of the Cenomanian, highlighted by Sr and Nd isotopic measurements on some sites of Australia (U1513) or Africa (959) margins, also results in a relative increase of smectites. Finally, the sea level rise, recorded from the Albian to the Lower Turonian and associated with an enrichment in smectites, highlights the influence of the differential settling process on clay assemblages. The Cenomanian-Turonian interval, characterised by an increase in the proportions of kaolinites at the low and middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, is interpreted as marked by more hydrolysing conditions. These kaolinites are present only in sectors, where tectonic was active at the end of the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian). Thus, despite a climate favourable to their formation, the absence of kaolinites in favour of smectites in the Southern Hemisphere characterizes the influence of topography and good drainage conditions to form these minerals. The Albian-Santonian interval is thus characterised by an increase in chemical weathering that was maximal at the mid-Cretaceous thermal maximum. Nevertheless, this increase in hydrolysing conditions, associated to the denudation of the continental landmasses, seems to be insufficient to cause the pCO2 decrease during this thermal maximum. It appears then, despite a climate favourable for hydrolysis, high sea level and flattening of the continental masses prevent the chemical weathering of silicates which cannot regulate pCO2

Full textThe aim of this study was to determine the heavy metal pollution in the urban environment of Strasbourg and Kehl with help of isotopes. This study focused on three aspects: 1) The « natural » background isotopic composition in the Rhine Valley, Vosges Mountains and the Central Swiss Alps. 2) The REE characteristics and Pb, Sr and Nd isotopic compositions of steel plant emissions. 3) Tracing of industrial aerosol sources in an urban environment using Pb, Sr and Nd isotopes. Filter dust of the principal pollutant sources (waste incinerators, thermal power plant, and steel plant) and soot of car and ship exhaust have been analyzed. The industrial sources have variable εNd values and 87Sr/86Sr ratios. PM10 collected in the urban centre of Strasbourg show the influence of different industrial and natural sources

Full textMineral dust plays an important role in the global climate system having effects on the radiation budget and the chemical composition of the atmosphere. Our understanding of the exact role of dust in the Earth’s climate system is still poorly constrained mostly due to a lack of data reflecting the high spatial and temporal variability of dust. Using peat bogs, spatial and temporal variability of Holocene dust deposition in boreal Quebec was investigated in relation to climate fluctuations. Dust fluxes were reconstructed using rare earth elements (REE) concentrations in bulk peat, while Nd and Pb isotopes in combination with REE were used to identify the source of dust particles deposited into these bogs. In order to evaluate the relationship between dust fluxes and climate variability, temporal changes in dust flux, and Nd isotopes were compared to dust grain size and ecohydrological reconstructions derived from testate amoebae and plant macrofossils. In two peat bogs from the North Shore region of the St. Lawrence Estuary (Baie bog) and Gulf (IDH bog), atmospheric dust fluxes were reconstructed using REE concentration while the geochemical composition of deposited dust was characterized using Nd and Pb isotopes combined with REE and grain size. Both peat bogs present similar Nd values, which suggests either a common source or sources with similar signatures in both regions. In terms of dust flux, the two study sites display distinct tendencies. IDH bog show few variations in dust flux, which can be explained by its geographical setting, where a tree fringe and higher altitude likely partially prevent dust from reaching the peat bog. Two dust events were recorded in the Baie bog from 1750 to 1000 cal BP and 600 to 100 cal BP and correspond to documented cold periods. These two periods have been found to occur at the same time as periods of high variability in the macrofossil record (i.e. successive layers dominated by Sphagnum or Ericaceae). REE elements, Nd and grain-size distribution suggest that, over the last 2000 years, the Baie bog received more local dust. The two periods were identified as periods of increased local storminess in response to regional hydroclimatic instability and temperature variations mainly controlled by solar activity. These episodes of climatic instability could also have been caused by changes in the wind regime. The same set of analyses were performed in a third peatland located in the James Bay region, the La Grande 2 bog (LG2). Increases in dust flux were reconstructed from 4000-3000, 2600-2000, 1600-1000, 800-650 cal BP and from 1960-1990AD. The Nd values show a large variability from -37 to -12, identifying a least three sources: local marine sediment, the Sakami moraine and another unidentified source likely from a more regional origin. Between 7000 and 4100 cal BP, Nd values resemble those localsources (-36 to -29). A gradual increase in Nd signature is observed from 4100 to 1500 cal BP suggesting a decreasing influence of local sources in favor of a yet unidentified source. The occurrence of increased dust deposition during cold periods in two of the three studied bogs suggests that dust fluxes can be used as an indicator of cold and dry climatic conditions in boreal Quebec. In northeastern Canada, these cold and dry conditions are usually the results of the intrusion of Arctic air masses. The exact mechanism controlling these incursion is yet unknown, but the similar timing of solar minima and dust peaks suggest that solar irradiance may also have played a role. The fact that both Baie and LG2 sites display similar tendencies during the last 2000 years reveals that both regions were likely controlled by the same climatic processes

Full textMartinique Island has recorded the most complete history of the Lesser Antilles arc, from 25 Ma to present. The chemical and isotopic heterogeneity of the lavas is very large compared to other islands from the same arc and compared to other intra-oceanic arcs. The aim of this study is to explain the chemical and isotopic variability of Martinique lavas and to constrain the processes that took place during the genesis of volcanic products. We did a detailed geochemical study (major elements, minor elements and Pb, Sr, Nd and Hf isotopic ratios) of samples collected all over Martinique Island. Our geochemical study was coupled to precise dating of the same lavas by the K-Ar method through a collaboration with Aurélie Germa and Xavier Quidelleur from the University of Orsay-Paris XI. Martinique lavas define mixing trends between depleted and enriched end-members. Two significantly different trends can be distinguished, one defined by “old” lavas (between 25 and 7 Ma) and one defined by “recent” lavas (between 5 Ma and present). Both depleted and enriched end-members involved in the source of magmas differ before and after 6 Ma. The change of source most probably occurred when the subduction of an aseismic ridge shifted to the West the northern part of the arc. We evaluate the origin of the crustal signature of Martinique lavas through (a) a mixing model between slab sediments and mantle wedge and (b) a crustal assimilation model in which mantle-derived magmas are contaminated by the arc crust. The crustal-contamination model does not reproduce the trends defined by the Martinique lavas whereas the mixing model succeeds. A comparison between crustal end-members as constrained by the mixing trends, and local subducted sediments indicates that there is no decoupling between Pb, Sr, Nd and Hf implying that sediments are added to the mantle wedge through fusion and not dehydration. The La/Yb ratio is a proxy of the proportion of sediments involved in the genesis of the lavas. It is not governed by the melting degree or the nature of the residual aluminous phase in the mantle, even though lavas are generated by approximately 10% partial melting of a garnet-bearing mantle source. We show that La/Yb defines a spatial gradient in the island, suggesting a geographical gradient of the proportion of sediments

Full textThe wooden framework of the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral was almost destroyed by fire on April 15, 2019. Although the remains of the charred timbers are not of interest for the reconstruction, they conceal more than 800 years of the monument’s history. Their investigation thus constitutes an extraordinary opportunity to shed light on the construction techniques and relationships between society and forest resources during the Central Middle Ages (11th-13th centuries). A key point to better understand past forestry management and timber trade is the provenance of the timber woods. The aim of this work is to determine the geographical origin of the wood used to build the Notre-Dame's framework with the help of geochemical tracers, in particular the multi-elemental composition and isotope ratios of strontium (Sr) and neodymium (Nd). The strength of geochemical source tracing relies on the ability to discriminate sites based on their geological and soil contexts. During growth, trees absorb mineral-derived nutrients which are partially transferred to the wood cell walls. The abundance and isotopic signature of these mineral-derived nutrients in wood thus reflect those of rocks and soils on which the tree grew. This approach is applied here for the first time to carbonized archeological wood. Before proceeding to identification of the origin of the Notre-Dame timber woods, 1) the preservation of geochemical signals during carbonization was verified experimentally, and 2) a referential database of multi-elemental and Sr-Nd isotopic signatures in modern wood was built at the scale of the Seine River catchment. Although the carbonization led to volatilization and loss of some of the studied elements, it did not affect Sr and Nd isotopic composition of charred wood. Additionally, reliable elemental tracers for provenance were selected on the basis of the ratios of thermostable elements i.e., those whose decrease in concentration was negligible (< 20% at 800°C). The geochemical tracers were tested on modern wood from the 12 referential forests, each representing one type of substrate characteristic of the Seine River catchment area. Determination of the origin of modern wood could be achieved with an accuracy of around 80% and was strongly controlled by the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio, as well as by the Sr/Ca and Nd/Ca elemental ratios. The carbonized timbers from the Notre-Dame framework were characterized for cutting dates of trees and their geochemical signatures were compared with one another, and with those of wood from the referential forests. The geochemical signatures of most of the medieval woods were found to be characteristic of forest stands growing on deep silty soils, in agreement with findings from historical archives pointing towards an origin of the timbers in the south-east of Paris

Full textMineral aerosols emitted in arid and semi-arid regions of the Earth represent an active element of the global climate system. In fact, due to their optical properties and their role in nucleation processes in the atmosphere, they have an impact on the radiative budget and the hydrological cycle. They also take part in many biogeochemical cycles in the ocean and on land through the input of micro-nutriments in regions where they are deposited. Mineral dust is also an indicator of paleo-environmental conditions changes in sedimentary archives. Mineral dust impact in the climate system depends on the amount of particles transported in the atmosphere, on their grain size distributions and on their geochemical compositions. Yet, these characteristics are often insufficiently quantified, particularly in the vast Sahara-Sahel domain (the largest source worldwide), due to the numerous emissions areas and to their intermittency. The characteristics of Saharan dust deposits are especially poorly constrained, although they are essentials to estimate the dust impact on biogeochemical cycles, to make the connection with sedimentary deposits, and to validate dust transport model outputs. A study of eolian deposits was carried out on the Senegalese coast in order to improve our knowledge of the chemical composition of mineral aerosols transported over the West African margin and of the geochemical signature of the source regions. For this purpose, a passive collector was set up in 2006 at Mbour, allowing the build up of a long continuous time series dust deposits with a sampling resolution of a week or less (down to 24h). Elemental composition (major and trace elements) of the <30µm carbonate-free, silicate fraction of 221 dust deposit samples was determined (including a two-year continuous time series between March 2013 and February 2015), as well as the Sr and Nd isotopic ratios for 63 of them. Concurrently, investigations on the sources feeding our sampling site were conducted with the help of the IDDI satellite product as well as air masses backtrajectories calculated with the HYSPLIT model. The study of the 2013-2015 continuous time series of dust deposits revealed a large variability in the chemical composition of the dust, suggesting an important diversity in the geochemistry of the contributing sources. This long time series brought to light marked seasonal changes, both in the mass flux and the chemical composition, that can be linked to changes in provenance and transporting wind systems between the dry season (winter-spring) during which aerosols are transported in the trade winds that sweep across West Africa, and the wet season (summer) when dust deposit result to some degree from the scavenging by precipitations of dust transported at high altitude in the Saharan Air Layer (SAL)

Full textRecently published geochronological data has arisen questions on the Sete Lagoas Formation (SLF) depositional evolution. This unit is mainly composed by carbonate rocks with subordinated pelitic intercalations and represents the basal unit of the Bambuí Group, which overlies the glacial deposits of the Jequitaí Formation in the São Francisco Craton (SFC). This study combines isotope chemostratigraphy (C, O, Sr) and geochronology (U -Pb and Hf on detrital zircons and Sm-Nd on whole rock samples) in five sections of the SLF in the Lagoa Santa (MG) region, southern part of SFC, in order to answer such questions. Vespasiano (VS) and Ana Paula (AP) sections are composed by gray limestones and beige dolostones, with high contents of detrital sediments and poor in organic matter. The most representative \'delta\'\'POT.13C\' values obtained oscillate within a narrow range around 0%o. These data allow positioning these sections in the first depositional sequence of the SLF, above the basal Sturtian cap carbonates (~740 Ma) of this unit. Bairro da Lapinha (BL), Pedra do Baú (BAU) and Parque da Gruta da Lapinha (PGL) sections comprises dark gray to black limestones, with low detrital sediments contents and rich in organic matter. They are characterized by very positive \'delta\'\'POT.13\'C values (> 6%o) and \'87 ANTPOT.Sr\'/ \'86 ANTPOT.Sr\' ratios close to 0.7075. These sections belong to the second sequence of the SLF. Detrital zircons were retrieved from three marl samples from sections VS, AP and PGL and dated by the U-Pb method. The results indicate that the siliciclastic sediments of the SLF come from sources of long crustal residence time located in the Araçuaí-West Congo Orogen. The youngest population is 557 Ma aged and sets the maximum depositional age for the second sequence of SLF and most of the Bambuí Group. Furthermore, younger concordant zircon grains with ages of 537 ± 4 Ma and 506 ± 7 Ma for the first and second sequence, respectively, refute the hypothesis of a major sedimentation gap between the sequences, as recently proposed, and endorse an Ediacaran/Cambrian age for the SLF. If such gap does exist, it lies between the Sturtian cap carbonates and the sections with \'delta\'\'POT.13\' C around 0%o. These ages also indicate that the deposition of most of the Bambuí Group took place in a foreland basin, after the closure of the Adamastor Ocean which led to the edification of the Araçuaí Belt to the east of the SFC. The \'87 ANTPOT.Sr\'/ \'86 ANTPOT.Sr\' ratios obtained on the SLF carbonates contrast with the recently proposed Sr evolution curves, especially for the Cambrian, from where ratios higher than 0.7085 would be expected. It is possible that the SLF was deposited on a restricted eipiric sea and global correlations based on Sr isotopes are not reliable in such cases.

Full textOs granitoides do Domínio Cambuci, na região limítrofe entre os estados do Rio de Janeiro e Espírito Santo, foram separados em quatro principais grupos: (1) Complexo Serra da Bolívia (CSB) - Ortogranulitos e Ortognaisses Heterogêneos; Ortognaisse Cinza Foliado; e charnockitos da Região de Monte Verde (2) Leucogranitos/leucocharnockitos gnaissificados da Suíte São João do Paraíso (SSJP) (3) Granito Cinza Foliado (4) Leucogranito isotrópico. O CSB é caracterizado pelo magmatismo de caráter calcioalcalino do tipo I, oriundo em ambiente de arco vulcânico (Suíte Monte Verde) e retrabalhamento crustal (ortogranulitos leucocráticos). O Ortogranulito esverdeado fino, é considerado no presente estudo como rocha do embasamento para o Terreno Oriental, cristalizada durante o paleoproterozoico - Riaciano (2184,3 21 Ma) e recristalizada durante o evento metamórfico Brasiliano no neoproterozoico - Edicariano (607,2 1,5 Ma), cuja idade TDM é de 2936 Ma. O Ortogranulito leucocrático médio cristalizou-se no neoproterozoico Edicariano (entre 592 e 609 Ma) e idade TDM ca. 2100 Ma, ao qual apresenta registro de herança no paleoproterozoico. A Suíte Monte Verde caracteriza-se por um magmatismo calcioalcalino e a Suíte Córrego Fortaleza, por um magmatismo calcioalcalino de alto K, ambas com assinatura de arco magmático. Registram dois pulsos magmáticos, em no Neoproterozoico - Edicarano: um em 592 2 Ma, idade do charnoenderbito, com idade TDM 1797 Ma, e outro em 571,2 1,8 Ma (injeção de um charnockitoide). Para todas as rochas do CSB são registradas feições protomiloníticas, miloníticas e localmente ultramiloníticas. Os dados geoquímicos indicam que os granitoides da SSJP são da série calcioalcalina de alto K, gerados no Neoproterozoico (idades que variam desde 610,3 4,7 Ma até, 592,2 1,3 Ma. As idades TDM revelam valores discrepantes para duas amostras: 1918 Ma e 2415 Ma, sugerindo que tenham sido geradas de diferentes fontes. O Granito Cinza Foliado é da Série Shoshonítica, metaluminoso do tipo I e, de ambiência tectônica de granitos intraplaca. Entretanto, poderiam ter sido fomados em ambiente de arco cordilheirano, havendo contaminação de outras fontes crustais. Fato este pode ser confirmado pelas as idades TDM calculadas ≈ 1429 1446 Ma. O Leucogranito isotrópico ocorre em forma de diques de direção NW, possui textura maciça e é inequigranular. Dados geoquímicos revelam que são granitoides metaluminosos do tipo I da série shoshonítica, e, de acordo com a ambiência tectônica, são granitos intraplaca. O Leucogranito Isotrópico representa o magmatismo pós-colisional ao qual ocorreu entre 80 a 90 Ma de anos após o término do evento colisional na região central da Faixa Ribeira. O Leucogranito Issotrópico cristalizou-se no cambriano (512,3 3,3 Ma e 508,6 2,2 Ma) e com idades TDM ca. 1900
The granitoids of Cambuci Domain, situated between Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo states, were divided into four main groups: (1) Serra Bolivia Complex (CSB) - Heterogeneous Orthogranulites and Orthogneisses; Grey Fine grained Orthogneiss; and charnockites of Monte Verde Region (2) leucogranites / leucocharnockites gness of the São João do Paraíso Suite (SSJP) (3) Grey Foliated Granite (4) Isotropic Leucogranite. The CSB is characterized by type I calc character of magmatism, generate in volcanic arc environment (Monte Verde Suite) and crustal reworking (Leucocratic ortogranulites). The Fine grained Greenish, is considered in this research as the embasement rock for the Oriental Terrain, crystallized during the Paleoproterozoic - Riacian (2184.3 21 Ma) and recrystallized during in the metamorphic event in the Neoproterozoic - Edicarian (607.2 1.5 Ma), whose TDM age is 2936 Ma. The Medium grained Leucocratic Ortogranulite was crystallized in the Neoproterozoic - Edicarian (between 592 and 609 Ma) and its TDM age is ca. 2100 Ma, which features heritage record in the Paleoproterozoic. The Monte Verde Suite is characterized by a magmatism calcialcalin and the Córrego Fortaleza Suite, magmatism calc-alkaline high K, both show magmatic arc signature. Records two magmatic pulses in a sample (JP-RM-08A) in the Neoproterozoic - Edicaran: the first one in 592 2 Ma, and TDM age 1797 Ma, and the second one in 571.2 1.8 Ma (injecting a charnockitoids). For all CSB rocks, protomylonítics, Mylonitic and locally ultramilonítics features were portrayed. Geochemical data show these SSJP granitoids are the calc-alkaline series of high-K, crystallyzed in Neoproterozoic (ranging from 610.3 4.7 Ma to 592.2 1.3 Ma). TDM ages show outliers in two samples: 1918 Ma and 2415 Ma, suggesting that have been generated from different sources. The Gray Foliated Granite belongs to the shoshonitic series, type I and metaluminous and are intraplate granites. However, could have been formed into arc cordilheirano, with crustal contamination of other sources. This fact would be confirmed by the TDM ages calculated ≈ 1429 - 1446 Ma. The Isotropic Leucogranite occurs in the form of dykes, NW direction, has massive texture and is inequigranular. Geochemical data show these granitoids are metaluminous the type I shoshonitic series. They are intraplate granites. The Isotropic Leucogranite represents the post-collisional magmatism which took place between 80 and 90 Ma years after the collisional event in central sector of Ribeira Belt. It is crystallized in the Cambrian (512.3 3.3 Ma e 508.6 2.2 Ma) and TDM ages, ca. 1900 Ma

Full textNd ISOTOPES IN THE PROVENANCE OF TERRIGENOUS AND CARBONATE ROCKS AND SEDIMENTS OF THE POTIGUAR BASIN, NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL. Mesozoic and Cenozoic rocks from the Potiguar Basin, including terrigenous and carbonate sediments have been investigated to identify their isotopic signature and source areas. Additionally, this study aims to determine the provenance of terrigenous and carbonate sediments on the Brazilian Continental shelf adjacent to Potiguar Basin. The Sm-Nd isotopic signatures of the rocks yielded model ages (TDM) in the range of 2,19- 2,88 Ga, indicating archean to paleoproterozoic sources from the basement. The terrigenous sediments yielded model ages (TDM) in the range of 2,31-2,26 Ga, from 17,5 to 0 cm depth. Despite the small number of samples, limited variations of provenance ages indicates the homogenization of the sediments, probably due to the strong influence of the basement, as the main source of sediments to the shelf. The Sm-Nd isotopic signatures of the carbonate sediments yielded model ages (TDM) in the range of 2,09-2,61 Ga, indicating archean to paleoproterozoic sources from the basement. The results also indicate that the shelf sediments are mainly derived from the A?u River or other small rivers from the Setentrional Sector of Rio Grande do Norte State. The littoral drift doesn?t seem to contribute with sediments from the Oriental Sector since isotopic signatures from this sector were not detected.

Full textThe volcanic system of La Reunion is made of the coalescent Piton des Neiges and Piton de la Fournaise edifices. Its formation, associated with the activity of a mantle plume, is characterized by phases of submarine and subaerial growth, followed by a period of destruction, as described in the classical model proposed for Hawaiian Island volcanoes. Previous studies showed that the subaerial activity of La Reunion would have started around 2.2 Ma ago. Geochemical analyses carried out on the products associated with subaerial and submarine volcanism revealed their transitional chemical nature and their peculiar homogeneous isotopic compositions (87Sr/86Sr, 143Nd/144Nd et 176Hf/177Hf) for a hotspot derived magmatism. In this study, we show that some unusual submarine lavas were recently identified below the basal series of Piton de la Fournaise volcano (dredged on the North-East Rift Zone of la Fournaise) and below the subaerial lavas outcropping at the base of the differentiated series of Rivière des Remparts, indicate that the evolution of La Reunion system is probably more complex than previously suggested. The question of the nature and origin of these lavas, together with their implication on the formation of La Reunion, is an issue of major interest in order to better constrain the global evolution of the volcanic system. As a consequence, new petrological, geochemical and geochronological investigations were conducted on the submarine part of La Reunion edifice. They revealed the existence of a geochemically exceptional group of lavas. Its composition is clearly different from common samples of La Reunion and presents (1) an enrichment in incompatible elements and (2) tends toward an enriched EM endmember. These chemical specificities reveal that the source of La Reunion magmatic products is (1) an heterogeneous source affected by (2) variable melting degrees. Moreover, two samples of this new group dated at 3.77 (0,08) and 3.34 (0,07) Ma extend considerably the period of activity of the island. These rocks are the oldest samples ever dated at La Reunion. The nature and stratigraphical location of subaerial and submarine samples from Piton des Neiges and Piton de la Fournaise imply a new interpretation of the global evolution of the island. Unlike previous studies, our results indicate that :(1) The differentiated subaerial lavas from Rivière des Remparts, due to their stratigraphical and geographical location underlying Piton de la Fournaise, and by analogy with the Piton des Neiges, cannot be linked to the activity of Piton de la Fournaise. (2) The isotope signature of the submarine lava group from the North-East Rift Zone of Piton de la Fournaise, reveals the heterogeneous character of the mantle source under La Reunion Island, that can be modelled as embedded eclogite in a matrix of spinel lherzolite, (3) The age of this submarine group and its location under the eastern flank of Piton de la Fournaise, imply a more complex model of evolution of La Reunion. Therefore, our geochemical and geochronological data are new arguments suggesting the existence of a third volcanic center on the island. This assumption confirms the previous petrological and geophysical evidence supporting the existence of this volcano at the East of La Reunion, commonly called Les Alizés volcano

Full textUseful diagnostics of the ventilation of the ocean’s interior are derived from geochemical tracers characterized by simple boundary conditions at the ocean’s surface, and a conservative behavior in marine waters. In this thesis, we simulated explicitly some trace elements distribution in the Mediterranean to better constrain the thermohaline circulation and biogeochemical cycles. We used a high resolution physical/biogeochemical model NEMO-MED12-PISCES.The Mediterranean offers a particularly attractive setting for studying geochemical tracers. It’s a semi-enclosed basin, which makes it easier to quantify the various sources and sinks of the elements (atmospheric dust, rivers ...). In particular, we modeled tritium (3H), a transient tracer currently used for the study of the interannual variability of the thermohaline circulation. We also simulated helium isotopes (3He, 4He), useful tracers for investigating the deep ocean circulation.We have simulated the isotopic composition of neodymium (Nd), tracer adapted to investigate the exchanges between dissolved/particulate phases, with the continental margins, and to constrain the modern and paleo thermohaline circulation, as well as radiocarbon (14C), an ideal tracer for studying air-sea gas exchange and for assessing the ventilation rate of the deep water masses over very long timescales.This study is part of the work carried out to assess the robustness of the NEMO-MED12 model, which will be used to study the evolution of the climate and its effect on the biogeochemical cycles in the Mediterranean Sea, and to improve our ability to predict the future evolution of the Mediterranean Sea under the increasing anthropogenic pressure

Full textU-Pb, Hf and O isotope data were obtained from detrital zircons from late Paleozoic-early Mesozoic units from Paraná Basin, southeastern Brazil, in order to constain the provenance of the sediments, as well as to contribute to the understanding of the tectonic evolution of the basin. Whole rock Sm-Nd and Pb-Pb isotopic signatures were also taken in order to help the interpretation. The studied section, White Column in Santa Catarina state, includes rocks from 11 stratigraphic units (from base to top): Rio do Sul Formation, Rio Bonito Formation (Triunfo, Paraguaçu and Siderópolis members), Palermo Formation, Irati Formation, Serra Alta Formation, Teresina Formation, and Rio do Rasto Formation (Serrinha and Morro Pelado members) and Botucatu Formation. U-Pb ages were obtained on 1941 detrital zircons and range from 242 Ma to 3400 Ma. All sedimentary units show four main detrital age groups, Neoarchean (2700-2500 Ma), mid-Paleoproterozoic (2000-1800 Ma), Grenvillian (1100-900 Ma) and Brasiliano (850-490 Ma), reflecting the importance of the Precambrian basement bordering the east side of the basin, such as Dom Feliciano, Kaoko and Namaque-Natal Belts as source areas, including the local basement that was dated at 584 Ma. The Siderópolis Member shows an important change in the source of sediments with a Permian age-peak (266 to 290 Ma). This age-peak persists towards the top of the section until the Botucatu Formation. O and Hf isotopic signatures from the detrital zircons show that a portion of the mid-Paleoproterozoic grains is probably from rocks of the presently covered basement, which was exposed until the deposition of the Rio Bonito Formation. O and Hf isotopes also show that some Grenvillian aged zircons are from Argentinian rocks, which implies a long transport distance. Isotopic signatures of part of the Permian grains also link them to sources from Argentina and Chile, and part of these grains has more rounded shapes, suggesting that they reached the basin after long distance traveling on subaquatic environment and nor only through the air (ash falls) as it is commonly accepted. Other younger age peaks (Ordovician to Carboniferous) found from Palermo Formation upsection are also linked to Argentinian and Chilean sources, showing the importance of distant sources during the filling of the basin. The Sm-Nd and Pb-Pb data on whole rocks show that the sediments from the Paraná Basin present predominance of sources with crustal origin. Osotopic signatures are similar to granitoid rocks from Santa Catarina, Ribeira Belt, Brazilian Shield, Namaqua-Natal and Kaoko Belts, as well as the Arequipa-Antofalla terranes (Andes basement) and granitoids from North Patagonia. These data corroborate the observed detrital zircon patterns thar point to both proximal and distal source areas. \'T IND.DM\' model ages older than 1.4 Ga and more negative (-10 to -15) epsilon values were observed in the lower units (Rio do Sul Formation to Paraguaçu Member), while the upper units show \'\'épsilos\' IND.Nd(0)\' values ranging from -6 to -12 and \'T IND. DM\' model ages younger than 1.5 Ga, corroborating the addition of a younger source starting from the Siderópolis Member deposition upwards, as noted by detrital zircon data (Permian age-peak).

Full textThis work objective the characterization of the petrology, geochemistry, geochronology and metamorphism of ortoderivate rocks that belong to Brusque Metamorphic Complex BMC) in two regions: Itapema and Botuverá, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Within these, good expositions of mafic and metaultramafic rocks occur in both regions. In Itapema, bodies of peraluminous leucogranites were also investigated. Around Botuverá were investigated diabase dikes and lamprophyres. The analysis of the conditions of generation and sources of magmatic events responsible for the development of these rocks was essential for the characterization and assessment of the significance of these tectonic units in the BMC, and it were placed during the pre-, syn-and post-collisional period of it’s evolution. The regional foliation of the complex is represented by a low angle S2 surface in Itapema region and a higher angle foliation in the region of Botuverá, folded by actuation of the D3 event. Petrography and Hb-Pl geothermometry data indicate that the main foliation of the mafic schists was generated in conditions between the transition of greenschist and lower amphibolite facies. The pre-orogenic magmatism of the Brusque Metamorphic Complex consists of lenses of mafic-ultramafic, products from the metamorphism of basalts, gabbros, related cumulate rocks and volcanogenic sediments. These rocks have a tholeiitic affinity and high contents of LREE and LILE elements. The analysis of incompatible elements ratios, the position of igneous bodies intercalated with the metasediments and the absence of oceanic crust suggest that the basalts were placed in an intra-continental plate environment, synchronous with sedimentation of the basin. The initial εNd values between -2.96 and 5.05 for the metavolcanics of Itapema and between -0.14 and -6.97 for the rocks of Botuverá indicate the involvement of Paleoproterozoic crust on the genesis of these magmas. The generally high 87Sr/86Sr values justify the involvement of crust, and the highest values found in Botuverá, highlight the greater involvement of this component in the region. Syn tectonic magmatism is represented by bodies of peraluminous leucogranite showing emplacement concordant to S2 foliation. Compositional parameters of these rocks characterized by low ratios K2O/Na2O, CaO/Na2O and LaN / YbN, low levels of Rb, Sr, Zr, Y, Yb and Lu, are consistent with magmas generated from partial melting of pelitic rocks, with limited participation of differentiation processes. In the region of Botuverá the occurrence of diabase dykes and lamprophyres cutting the regional metamorphic units indicates that its position is post-collisional. Geochemically show affinity between the tholeiitic and shonshonitic series. The distribution pattern of trace elements and the Th/Yb for Ta/Yb ratios indicate that extraction of diabase occur from an enriched mantle source, with the presence of rutile and garnet in the residue and heavily contaminated by crust. These characteristics are similar to those found in rocks post-collisional basaltic volcanic in south Brazil. The scattered values of єNd (618) in basic terms, ranging between -13.74 and +5.52 highlight the heterogeneity of mantle supply and reinforce the importance of crustal component in the generation of these rocks. A concordant age of 618 ± 8.7 Ma by U-Pb (LA-ICP-MS) zircon method were obtained, marking a early magmatic processes of post-collisional Brasiliano orogeny in the region of Botuverá.

Full textAn intense debate animates the Earth Sciences community about the impact of the Glaciations on mountain ranges. Mountains develop their relief from the interaction of tectonics with climate through erosion. Erosion breaks rocks in the highland, and rivers and submarine gravity flows (turbidites) transfer the waste material to sedimentary basins. Erosion results from the action of rainfall, rivers or glaciers. Studies suggest that changes in the rainfall amplitude or seasonality, and changes in the extent of glaciers have triggered a worldwide and considerable increase of erosion rates for the last millions of years. However, this hypothesis is debated because past erosion rates are estimated with indirect approaches. Here, I focus on the Himalaya, the iconic mountain range at the convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates. There, the highests summits and the deepest valleys on Earth grow. Landslides and glacial erosion supply one of the highest sedimentary fluxes to the oceans. To determine the past erosion rates, I measured the amount of the 10Be cosmogenic isotope accumulated in the quartz sediment. These isotopes are produced at Earth's surface by the interaction of cosmic rays with matter. Isotopes gradually accumulate in rocks close to the surface, depending on the elevation and the erosion rates. The isotopic concentration in sediment gives access to the average erosion rate of the source drainage basin. To determine the source of sediment and the deposition paleoenvironment, I performed supplementary measurements on Sr-Nd and C-O isotopes. I conducted my measurements on two sites. Site A consists in sandy turbidites sedimented on the deep sea floor of the Bengal Bay and collected by Expeditions 353 and 354 of the International Ocean Discovery Program. Site B consists in molasse sediment deposited at the front of the Himalaya, in the Siwalik Hills, within the Valmiki Wildlife Sanctuary in India. Site A integrates the erosion of the Ganga and Brahmaputra drainage basins, covering Central and Eastern Himalaya. Site B integrates the erosion of the Narayani-Gandak basin, covering Central Nepal. My results yield an unprecedented insight in the variation of erosion in a mountain range over the last seven million years. They imply that average erosion rates have been steady since at least three million years in the Himalaya, despite the variations in sediment transfer or the locus of erosion, and despite intense late Cenozoic Glaciations

Full textThe Amsterdam-St Paul plateau (ASP) is an oceanic plateau built from the interaction between ASP hotspot and the Southeast Indian ridge. P volcanic chain, called the chain of the dead Poets (CDP), lies to its northward and related to the hotspot intraplate activity. Their study reveals that ASP plume composition comes from oceanic crust and pelagic sediments recycled in the mantle through a 1,5Ga subduction process, ASP plume activity is pulsatile and occurs preferentially on weakness zones. The CDP construction results thus from (1) the plume pulses and (2) the diffuse divergent boundary between the Capricorn and Australian plates. K-Ar datings reveal that this volcanic chain is made of two generations of seamounts: (1) an old one, of about 9Ma and made of large edifices which had probably a sub-aerial period and (2) a young one, younger than 2Ma, and made of small edifices related to some pounded plume pulse material. In addition, ASP plume has an own motion of about 1-2 cm/yr to the south-west. The ASP plateau lavas compositions (major and trace elements and Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotopes) show en important variability and reveal that the underlying mantle is heterogeneous. It is made of a depleted mantle with lower continental crust strips in the form of garnet-plagioclase granulites, probably delaminated during the Gondwana breakup. The lower continental crust s one of the hypotheses for DUPAL anomaly origin and our data support this assumption

Full textStudying U series disequilibria in young lavas (<10kyr) is a powerful tool for understanding magma genesis and transfer such as time constraints of melt ascent or mantle porosity. Combined trace element geochemistry, isotope composition and U series data are able to indicate source heterogeneity due to the possible input of plume-derived enriched material. Input of additional mantle material can be carried out under two forms : melt or solid transport state. A major constrain to decipher between these two mechanisms is the duration of transport. Thus, U series disequilibria can provide information about the rate of the transfer process and therefore the transport mechanism of the process. The study presented here (on lavas from the North Fiji and Lau basins and the Central Indian Ridge) is probably one of the first to constrain ridge hotspot interaction using U series disequilibria and accentuates the peculiar interest of this method

Full textThis thesis aims to advance our knowledge of the hydrology of the intermediate and deep water masses of the Mediterranean during the last climatic cycle (last 145 ka), and to constrain the ocean circulation models that allowed the deposition of organic matter-rich sediments (ENT and sapropels). The Nd isotopic composition (εNd) of foraminifera samples in cores located at intermediate and deep bathymetries of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Adriatic Sea, the Ionian Sea and the Levantine Basin were analyzed. This work allowed to highlight that the intermediate and deep waters of the Eastern Mediterranean are systematically more radiogenic during the glacial stadiums than during the interglacials. We have shown that these changes cannot be entirely attributed to variations in dust and river inputs from northern Africa but to significant changes in the amount of Atlantic (AW) water entering the Mediterranean. Periods of low sea ice levels are associated with a reduction in Atlantic water flows through the straits of Gibraltar and Siculo-Tunisia by inducing more radiogenic deep-water masses in the eastern Mediterranean. Superimposed on these glacial-interglacial fluctuations, African humid periods and sapropel deposits are systematically characterized by more radiogenic εNd values. This has been attributed to the cessation of deep convection of less radiogenic surface water associated with an increase in the contact time of deep-water bodies with radiogenic sediments from the continental margins of the Levantine basin. Our results highlight during terminations I and II an increase in the contribution of less salty water of North Atlantic origin (MAW) of around 55% which may have pre-conditioned the eastern Mediterranean several thousand years before the deposit S1 and S5 sapropels. A comparison of the εNd recordings obtained in the Eastern and Western basins over the last climate cycle shows a stronger gradient of εNd between the two basins at intermediate and deep depths during the glacial stadiums. This is consistent with a weaker water exchange across the Siculo-Tunisian Strait during periods of low sea ice. On the contrary, during the high sea levels of the interglacial periods, water exchanges are stronger between the two basins, inducing a transfer to the Tyrrhenian Sea of variations in the isotopic composition of Nd observed in the eastern Mediterranean. Thus, the African wet periods inducing a stratification of the water masses and the deposits of sapropels in the east, are associated with signatures of more radiogenic waters which are then transported by the LIW in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Superimposed on these orbital variations, rapid variations in εNd could be highlighted in the Corsica channel. Each cold event in the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere (Younger Dryas and Heinrich events) is characterized by a more radiogenic LIW in the Tyrrhenian Sea involving a reduction in the formation of intermediate water in the Gulf of Lion (linked to more strong freshwater inflows from the Atlantic during the Heinrich events) and / or a greater production of LIW in the eastern Mediterranean (linked to a cooling of the northern Mediterranean surface during the Heinrich events)

Full text: The purpose of this thesis is to constrain the hydrology of the North-East Atlantic and western Mediterranean Sea since the last glacial period from neodymium isotopic composition (εNd) measured on seawater, cold water corals and foraminifera. In particular, hydrological changes of intermediate water masses (LIW, AAIW, MSW, mid-subtropical and subpolar gyre water) have been studied as their role on salt budget in North Atlantic and ultimately on AMOC are currently poorly constrained. This work has been conducted at times of major and abrupt hydrological changes that occurred during rapid climatic variations of the last glacial period (Heinrich and Dansgaard-Oeschger events) and during the last sapropel deposit (S1) in eastern Mediterranean Sea. In a first step, we have improved the spatial distribution of water masses εNd values in North-east Atlantic and Alboran Sea, what is an absolute prerequisite in order to track past hydrological changes in these areas with εNd proxy. Next, we have highlighted a major change of the western Mediterranean circulation pattern during the sapropel S1 deposit, which is marked south of Sardinia by a strong reduction of eastern-sourced water masses (LIW) in favor of western-sourced water masses (WIW). This hydrological change as well as those occurring in Mediterranean Sea since the last glacial period was not associated with strong modifications of εNd values in Alboran and Balearic Sea, suggesting a stability of Nd isotopic signature of MOW over the time. This has highlighted, from an εNd record obtained on cold water corals in the Gulf of Cadiz, an enhanced contribution of more radiogenic AAIW and therefore a stronger northward penetration in North Atlantic at times of reduced AMOC linked to iceberg discharges from Northern Hemisphere ice sheets
