Coffineau, Nathalie. "Processus contrôlant la distribution des isotopes du silicium dissous (δ30Si) dans l'océan Atlantique et Indien". Thesis, Brest, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013BRES0067/document.
Texto completoUse of silicon isotopes (δ30Si) as a paleoceanographic proxy requires sound knowledge of the distribution and behaviour of silicon isotopes throughout the ocean. Over the past few years considerable effort has been made to map the silicon isotope composition (δ30Si) of silicic acid (dissolved silicon, DSi) and biogenic silica (BSi) throughout the ocean. Diatoms uptake DSi to build up their opal frustules (BSi). During this process, diatoms discriminate against the heavier isotope of silicon (30Si) in favor of the light isotope (28Si). This fractionation leads to BSi that has a lower δ30Si than the DSi source by 1.1 ‰ to 1.5 ‰. In turn, this results in surface waters with low DSi concentrations due to biological removal, and high δ30Si values due to Rayleigh distillation. Conversely, when the BSi dissolves it is with discrimination against the heavier isotope producing dissolved silicon with a δ30Si lower by 0.55 ‰. At the same time, episodes of upwelling occurring throughout the growing season, ocean circulation and mixing, contribute to modify the δ30Si of the dissolved silicon pool in the surface mixed layer, which complicate the use of diatom δ30Si as a proxy for DSi removal during the growing season. This dissertation aims to better understand the processes driving the Si cycle and the δ30Si signature of water masses in different regions of the ocean. New data of δ30Si of dissolved Si are presented and discussed. These data come from 6 CTD profiles from ANTXXIII/9 campaign (Atlantic and Indian sector of the Southern Ocean), 7 CTD profiles from ANTXXIV/3 (Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean), and 5 CTD profiles from the campaign MSM10/1 (north Subtropical and Tropical Atlantic Ocean). Samples were purified by ion-exchange chromatography following preconcentration via Mg(OH)2 precipitation and extraction of silicon using triethylamine molybdate. Isotopic analyses were carried on a Neptune MC-ICP-MS at medium resolution (Ifremer, Brest)

Texto completoPlentiful applications of isotopes recently emerged in geology since the isotopic fractionation properties are markers of geochemical events. With calculations, one can explain and quantify a fractionation mechanism in conditions that can be challenging to achieve experimentally. Therefore, it is possible to decompose underlying mechanisms that lead to a measured fractionation factor. In the course of this study, we were interested in isotopes of silicon - in quartz, kaolinite, H4SiO4,aq and H3SiO4,aq - and of lithium - in Li2O, polylithionite and Li+ in solution. We took up methods that are well suited to perform realists and, if possible, predictive calculations for equilibriums implying at least one liquid phase. This study highlights the importance of the configurational disorder in liquids. We pointed at the necessity to take into account the effects of anharmonicity, in particular for the study of equilibria between a mineral and a solution. Moreover, results showed in this manuscript are in good agreement with the experimental and natural data that have been measured, which features the interest of these new methods

Texto completoSilicon is the second most abundant element in Earth’s crust and one of the key nutrient in aquatic ecosystems. There are strong interactions of Si with carbon cycle and biogeochemical processes. The present thesis focused on variability of silicon (amorphous-ASi, lithogenic-LSi and dissolved-DSi) and Si isotopes along the land to ocean continuum. We investigated the seasonal and spatial variability of ASi, LSi & DSi and Si isotopes in ~20 Indian estuaries. We categorize the estuaries using statistical analysis (PCA and cluster analysis). Diatom uptake seems to be the main process controlling ASi during dry period, especially in the South. Weathering and erosion control the variability of LSi in the remaining estuaries. Similarly lithogenic supply controls Si during wet period in all estuaries and no impact of diatoms was seen because of high suspended load. Si isotopic compositions trace the Si sources and biogeochemical pathways. The isotopic results exhibit clear seasonal difference with high impact of type of weathering during both seasons. They show that southwest watersheds are very special in terms of weathering regime compared to the other watersheds because of topography and climate. The impact of agriculture and forest cover on Si cycle is also clearly evidenced in all the basins during wet period. We show that groundwater Si isotopic variability results from a combination of dissolution and production of minerals. Overall, this study shows the preponderant influence of weathering and type of secondary clays on Si isotopes irrespective to the seasons, rather than the biological uptake or mixing as reported elsewhere

Texto completoGroundwater forms a dynamic system exhibiting spatial and temporal heterogeneity, and acts as an intermediate between surface processes occurring in critical zone and the riverine systems, which ultimately delivers solutes from continents to ocean. Recent studies reveal that the submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a dominant pathway for nutrient delivery to the coastal ocean, often exceeding riverine nutrient fluxes, thus forming a significant component of oceanic biogeochemical cycling. However, SGD remains overlooked in coastal nutrient budgets and is difficult to quantify given large spatial and temporal variability. Among the elements delivered to the coast through SGD, silicon (Si) forms a key nutrient for diatoms, one of the dominant primary producers in freshwaters, estuary and coastal ecosystems. Tropical humid watersheds with seasonal monsoonal precipitation, commonly found in Indian subcontinent, favors intense silicate weathering resulting in high Si fluxes to surface and groundwaters. However, anthropogenic activities including agriculture and damming can significantly modulate Si cycling and requires further evaluation, particularly in groundwater. The present research investigates three major aspects of groundwater Si cycling: i) the impact of land use alterations (such as agriculture) and monsoon precipitation in groundwater dissolved silicon (DSi) and silicon isotopic signature (δ30Si) by comparing an agricultural (Berambadi) and forested (Mule Hole) watersheds across two seasons, ii) elucidating groundwater-surface water interactions in the largest monsoonal estuarine system in India (Godavari) and, iii) quantify the fresh submarine groundwater derived Si fluxes to Indian Ocean using a series of coastal groundwaters along Indian coastline. We employ multiple isotopic tracers to understand biogeochemical processes in groundwater including water isotopes and 87Sr/86Sr to understand sources and mixing, δ30Si and Ge/Si ratios to trace Si cycling, and δ44/40Ca to decipher carbonate weathering in critical zone. The present work increased the δ30Si average of global groundwater from 0.49±0.9‰ (1SD, n=66) to 0.81±0.9‰ (1SD, n=224), lower than the river water and seawater δ30Si. We show that the δ30Si signatures of groundwater are not impacted by land use alterations and seasonal monsoon, and are primarily driven by silicate weathering and secondary clay formation in soil and saprolite. Groundwater system generally exhibits a steady state behavior with a dynamic equilibrium between Si supply and formation of secondary phases. We conclude that Si isotopic signatures of weathering, adsorption, and plant uptake occurring in the shallow soil and saprolite horizons are partly overprinted and homogenized by the regolith weathering in the deep critical zone. In the second part of the thesis, we study Godavari estuary and adjacent groundwater to discern sources vs. mixing vs. processes along this land-to-ocean interface. The δ30Si signatures of estuary exhibit significant temporal variability, primarily driven by diatom uptake and some heterogeneous groundwater discharge during dry season while silicate weathering and secondary clay formation in the basin dominate during wet season. We note that estuaries can act as significant filters for Si supply to ocean, removing ~15% of the total DSi supplied by the Godavari river. The δ44/40Ca composition in Godavari estuary (1.3±0.5‰, 1SD, n=16) and groundwaters (1.6±0.7‰, 1SD, n=15) are highly heterogenous. The Ca isotopic fractionation in both estuary and groundwater are primarily driven by precipitation of secondary carbonates, a process that would require further study. Finally, the dissolved silicon and δ30Si of coastal groundwater all over India indicates that fresh SGD discharge contributes to <1% of the total Si flux of the rivers and is considered to have insignificant impact on oceanic Si and isotopic budgets in North Indian Ocean

Texto completoThis thesis deals with silicon (Si) isotope fractionations occurring between the bulk silicate parts of various planets in the inner Solar System. An analytical method has been developed using high-resolution multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS) that allows measuring Si isotope compositions of silicate materials with an uncertainty better than 0. 08‰ for delta30Si. Terrestrial igneous data reveal small but significant Si isotope fractionation occurring during magma differentiation. Silicon stable isotopes also allow to find significant variations among planetary bodies of the inner Solar System. In particular, Earth and Moon share a common Si isotopic signature, that is slightly heavier than other planetary bodies. Our data suggests that Si entered the Earth's core, but that this process alone can explain only part of the Si isotope fractionation observed. This implies that at least one additional fractionating mechanism has played a role. A possible clue may involve partial vaporisation of Si in the aftermath of a Moon forming giant impact that should have led to a depletion in light Si isotopes of the Earth-Moon system

Texto completoCherts, which are siliceous rocks, are considered as possible proxies of paleo-environmental conditions of the Early Earth. These rocks contain various forms of quartz, microquartz being the predominant one. The study of oxygen and silicon isotopic composition in the various forms of silica in cherts of different ages, from 3,5 Ga to 1,9 Ga, allowed to better understand the origin and the formation of these rocks and allowed to try to reconstruct paleo-temperatures for Precambrian seawater. Isotopic measurements were obtained with the ims 1270 multicollector ion microprobe with a precision better than 0,2 ‰ for [delta]18O and of ˜ 0,3 ‰ for [delta]30Si. These analyses were combined with the measurement of traces elements concentrations (B, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Ti, Fe) with the ims 3f ion microprobe, with a petrographical study of microquartz and with the study of fluid inclusions in quartz veins. The major result is the existence at a micrometer scale of a large range of variations for [delta]18O (between 1 ‰ to 14?‰) and [delta]30Si (between 2‰ to 5‰). In the Gunflint cherts, the range of [delta]18O variation has been interpreted as due to diagenesis and has been used to reconstruct oceanic paleo-temperatures. The calculated temperatures range from +37°C to +52°C, suggesting an hot ocean during the Precambrian era if Gunflint cherts are representative of global environmental conditions. The [delta]30Si variations associated with that of trace elements concentrations allow to constrain the various origins of these cherts. The effect of fluid circulations on the isotopic compositions has been characterized by [delta]18O and [delta]30Si analyses and by fluid inclusions study. It is shown that in some cases the [delta]18O value of microquartz can be totally re-equilibrated with the hydrothermal or metamorphic fluids. The approach developed in this thesis will be decisive in future studies of Archean cherts for paleotemperature reconstructions

Texto completoSouthern Ocean biogeochemistry plays a crucial role on global marine primary production by impacting the nutrient availability even in low latitude surface water. Variations in the silicon (Si) cycle are large and its coupling to other nutrient biogeochemical cycles is still not well understood in this ocean. Results of two different isotopic approaches suggested that a strong silicon pump was quickly initiated in spring by a switch from regenerated to new biogenic silica production. The seasonal evolution of natural Si isotopic composition (δ30Si) was mainly driven by the balance between the “dissolution to production” and “Si-supply to Si-uptake” ratios that decoupled the isotopic dynamics of particulate and dissolved Si-pools (DSi and BSi, repectively). We also used δ30Si measurements to track seasonal flows of BSi to the deep sea with. These results confirmed that the δ30Si is well preserved during particles settling. The seasonal evolution of δ30Si signal allows for the first time to quantify important features about the processes controlling the diatoms’ productivity and its fate, such as mixing events that bring nutrient in the ML or the seasonal evolution of particles sinking velocities. These insights confirm that the δ30Si of DSi and BSi, combined to isotopic technics to measure Si fluxes in the ML, are promising tools to improve our understanding on the Si-biogeochemical cycle and provide new constraints for application to biogeochemical models

Texto completoIron and silicon isotope measurements in high-temperature geological reservoirs display significant isotopic fractionations, especially within the Earth's crust. However, the mechanisms involved in these fractionations are not fully understood. Their knowledge and that of the fractionation factors in equilibrium conditions is central to interpret the measurements carried on natural rocks. To address this issue, this work is a multidimensional approach based on first principles calculation of Fe and Si isotope fractionations in minerals and silicate melts, on Fe isotope measurements of lavas from Kerguelen Archipelago and on analytical developments of in situ Fe isotope measurements of glasses and olivines using a femtosecond laser coupled to MC-ICP-MS. We provide the theoretical Fe and Si isotope properties of various minerals relevant to Earth crust formation and, for the first time, of silicate melts. Results suggest that significant Fe and Si isotope fractionations are expected between Fe2+-bearing minerals at high temperature. We also show that, besides temperature and redox changes, iron and silicon second neighbors have a major impact on isotopic fractionations. From our set of equilibrium fractionation factors between minerals and melts, we suggest that fractional crystallization could be the main process involved in Fe and Si isotope evolution during magmatic differentiation. In addition, iron isotope composition of Kerguelen oceanic basalts underlines the complexity of the hotspot evolution, with potential source heterogeneity. Finally, the analytical developments performed on MC-ICP-MS with femtosecond laser, allow in situ Fe isotope measurements of silicate glasses and minerals with an uncertainty better than 0.2‰

Texto completoSilicon (Si) and Magnesium (Mg) are major elements in rock-forming minerals, biological systems and seawater. Characterizing the isotopic composition of these elements in inorganic and organic environments makes it possible to better constrain their geochemical cycle and to interpret the geologic record. The accurate interpretation of these natural isotopic signatures requires knowledge of the equilibrium isotope fractionation between Si or Mg bearing solids and the main inorganic and organic Si and Mg species present in natural waters. At present, these data are scarce and not reliable. In this thesis laboratory experiments were performed at bulk chemical equilibrium to determine the equilibrium isotopic fractionation factor between Si or Mg bearing solids and aqueous solutions with various pH, temperature, and in the presence or absence of organic (catechol, citrate or EDTA) and inorganic ligands (sulphate) at 25° and 75°C. The 'three-isotope method' was applied to unambiguously determine the equilibrium fractionation factor Δeq of such two-component solid-solution system. The advantage of this method is that in the case where the two-component system does not reach full isotopic equilibrium, the isotopic composition at equilibrium can still be determined by extrapolation. Additionally the three-isotope method provides information into isotope exchange rates, and thus insight into the mechanism of isotopic exchange. Fur this purpose, after attaining bulk chemical equilibrium the aqueous solutions were spiked with 29Si or 25Mg and then placed together with new amorphous SiO2 or brucite powder to equilibrate isotopically. Isotopic measurements were performed on fluids and solids collected at selected times during the experiments with an MC-ICPMS. Equilibrium fractionation factors between solids and distinct aqueous species were obtained by coupling the experimental results with the results of aqueous speciation calculations performed using PHREEQC. All experimental determined equilibrium fractionation factors were compared with results of corresponding ab initio calculations. Among the noteworthy results of this thesis one should highlight the strong impact that can have Si and Mg complexation with some organic ligands on the isotopic composition of coexisting Si and Mg solids and aqueous species (i.e. Δ30SiSicatechol-H4SiO4° = -19.05± 0.49 ‰ and Δ26MgMg2+-MgEDTA2-= 2.17 ± 0.19 ‰.). The results of this study can be used to model paleoclimate conditions and may provide a new insight into the isotopic records of sedimentary rocks, and biological systems

Texto completoKey issues treated in this thesis are the improvement of our understanding of 1° the spatial and seasonal variability of Si isotopic signatures in rivers, 2° the biological influence on the riverine isotopic signatures and on DSi and BSi fluxes, and 3° the impact of the type of weathering on the riverine isotope signatures.
The isotopic composition of different tropical basins such as the Congo River (Central Africa), the Tana River (Kenya), the Amazon (South America) and its tributaries, were determined along with other physico-chemical parameters. In order to achieve this, the water sample purification processing, necessary before isotope analyses, required specific improvements that are also pre-sented here. The average of all the riverine δ30Si signatures available so far is +1.11 ‰ (n = 253). The impact of diatom growth on the isotopic signatures of the rivers can be clearly shown in the different systems studied, and especially in the Congo River where the isotopic signature could be used in order to estimate the diatom production. The impact of anthropic perturbations through dam construction is also clearly shown in the Tana River. On a global scale the biological influ-ence on the riverine isotopic signatures is estimated to induce an increase of 0.18 ‰ of the δ30Si signature in rivers. This study also confirms the preponderant influence of weathering and secondary clay formation on dissolved Si isotope signatures in the studied rivers. Finally, isotopic signatures from these rivers are compared to data available for other rivers around the world in order to draw large trends on a global scale.

Le silicium (Si) est l’un des éléments les plus abondants sous forme dissoute dans les rivières et est un nutriment fondamental tant dans les rivières que dans les écosystèmes marins. Le cycle continental du Si est complexe et inclut des interactions avec de nombreux réservoirs secondaires, comme les argiles et la silice biogénique (BSi), rendant les flux de Si difficiles à quantifier. Les isotopes stables fournissent un moyen de tracer et de décrire le cycle d’un élément. Le fractionnement isotopique qui accompagne le transfert de l’élément d’un réservoir à un autre induit des signatures isotopiques spécifiques qui peuvent être utilisées pour retracer la source et la trajectoire suivie par cet élément au cours de son cycle biogéochimique. Le but de cette thèse est d’explorer le potentiel des isotopes du Si en tant qu’indicateur des facteurs contrôlant la concentration en Si dissous (DSi) dans les rivières et plus spécifiquement dans les rivières tropicales.
Les questions principales traitées dans cette thèse sont l’amélioration des connaissances de :1° la variabilité spatiale et saisonnière des signatures isotopiques du Si dans les rivières, 2° l’influence biologique sur les signatures isotopiques des rivières et sur les flux de DSi et BSi et 3° l’impacte du type d’altération sur les signatures isotopiques des rivières.
Les compositions isotopiques de différents bassins tropicaux tels que le Fleuve Congo (Afrique Centrale), le Fleuve Tana (Kenya), l’Amazone (Amérique du Sud) et ses principaux affluents ont été déterminées en même temps que d’autres paramètres physicochimiques. Pour ce faire, le pro-cédé de purification des échantillons d’eau, préalable aux analyses isotopiques, a nécessité des améliorations spécifiques qui sont également présentées ici. La moyenne de toutes les signatures δ30Si accessibles à l’heure actuelle est de +1.11 ‰ (n = 253). L’impact de la croissance des diatomées sur les signatures isotopiques des rivières est démontré dans les différents systèmes étudiés, spécialement pour le Fleuve Congo où la signature isotopique a pu être utilisée afin de déterminer la production de diatomées. L’influence de perturbations anthropiques telles que la construction de barrages a pu être démontrée pour le Fleuve Tana. À l’échelle globale, on estime que l’influence biologique sur la signature isotopique des rivières mène à une augmentation de 0.18 ‰ de la signature δ30Si moyenne des rivières. Cette étude confirme également l’influence prépondérante de l’altération et de la formation d’argiles secondaires sur les signatures isotopiques du DSi dans les rivières étudiées. Enfin, les signatures isotopiques de ces rivières sont comparées aux données accessibles pour d’autres rivières à travers le monde afin d’en déduire les grandes tendance à l’échelle mondiale.

Texto completoFirst, this study focuses on Si inputs and outputs to ocean over a limited time period (~2.95 Ga Pongola Supergroup, South Africa) through the study of a palaeosol sequence and a contemporaneous banded iron formation. The palaeosol study offers precious clues in the comprehension of Archaean weathering processes and Si transfer from continent to ocean. Desilication and iron leaching were shown to be the major Archaean weathering processes. The occurrence of weathering residues issued of these processes as major component in fine-grained detrital sedimentary mass (shales) attests that identified weathering processes are widely developed and suggest an important dissolved Si flux from continent to the ocean. In parallel, banded iron formations (BIFs), typically characterised by alternation of iron-rich and silica-rich layers, represent an extraordinary record of the ocean-derived silica precipitation throughout the Precambrian. A detailed study of a 2.95 Ga BIF with excellent stratigraphic constraints identifies a seawater reservoir mixed with significant freshwater and very limited amount of high temperature hydrothermal fluids as the parental water mass from which BIFs precipitated. In addition, the export of silicon promoted by the silicon adsorption onto Fe-oxyhydroxides is evidenced. Then, both Si- and Fe-rich layers of BIFs have a common source water mass and a common siliceous ferric oxyhydroxides precursor. Thus, both palaeosols and BIFs highlight the significance of continental inputs to ocean, generally under- estimated or neglected, as well as the close link between Fe and Si cycles.
In a second time, this study explores secular changes in the Si cycle along the Precambrian. During this timespan, the world ocean underwent a progressive decrease in hydrothermal inputs and a long-term cooling. Effects of declining temperature over the oceanic Si cycle are highlighted by increasing δ30Si signatures of both chemically precipitated chert and BIF through time within the 3.8-2.5 Ga time interval. Interestingly, Si isotope compositions of BIF are shown to be kept systematically lighter of about 1.5‰ than contemporaneous cherts suggesting that both depositions occurred through different mechanisms. Along with the progressive increase of δ30Si signature, a decrease in Ge/Si ratios is attributed to a decrease in hydrothermal inputs along with the development of large and widespread desilication during continental weathering.
Le cycle externe du silicium au précambrien (4.5-0.5 Ga) reste mal compris malgré sa position clé dans la compréhension des processus opérant à la surface de la Terre primitive. En l’absence d’organismes sécrétant un squelette externe en silice, le cycle précambrien du silicium était vraisemblablement très différent de celui que nous connaissons à l’heure actuelle. Notre conception de l’océan archéen est limitée à l’hypothèse d’une concentration en silicium proche de la saturation en silice amorphe. Cette thèse vise à une meilleure compréhension des processus qui contrôlaient le cycle géochimique externe du silicium à l’archéen (3.8-2.5 Ga). Dans cette optique, le rapport germanium/silicium (Ge/Si) et les isotopes stables du silicium (δ30Si) représentent des traceurs idéaux pour démêler les différents processus contrôlant le cycle du Si.
Dans un premier temps, cette étude se focalise sur les apports et les exports de silicium à l’océan sur une période de temps restreinte (~2.95 Ga Pongola Supergroup, Afrique du Sud) via l’étude d’un paléosol et d’un dépôt sédimentaire de précipitation chimique quasi-contemporain. L’étude du paléosol apporte de précieux indices quant aux processus d’altération archéens et aux transferts de silicium des continents vers l’océan. Ainsi, la désilicification et le lessivage du fer apparaissent comme des processus majeurs de l’altération archéenne. La présence de résidus issus de ces processus d’altération en tant que composants majeurs de dépôts détritiques (shales) atteste de la globalité de ces processus et suggère des flux significatifs en silicium dissout des continents vers l’océan. En parallèle, les « banded iron formations » (BIFs), caractérisés par une alternance de niveaux riches en fer et en silice, représentent un enregistrement extraordinaire et caractéristique du précambrien de précipitation de silice à partir de l’océan. Une étude détaillée d’un dépôt de BIFs permet d’identifier une contribution importante des eaux douces dans la masse d’eau à partir de laquelle ces roches sont précipitées. Par ailleurs, un mécanisme d’export de silicium via absorption sur des oxyhydroxydes de fer est mis en évidence. Ainsi, les niveaux riches en fer et riche en silice constituant les BIFs auraient une même origine, un réservoir d’eau de mer mélangée avec des eaux douces et une contribution minime de fluides hydrothermaux de haute température, et un même précurseur commun. Dès lors, tant les paléosols que les BIFs mettent en évidence l’importance des apports continentaux à l’océan, souvent négligés ou sous estimés, ainsi que le lien étroit entre les cycles du fer et du silicium.
Dans un second temps, cette étude explore l’évolution du cycle du silicium au cours du précambrien. Durant cette période, l’océan voit les apports hydrothermaux ainsi que sa température diminuer. Dans l’intervalle de temps 3.8-2.5 Ga, les effets de tels changements sur le cycle du silicium sont marqués par un alourdissement progressif des signatures isotopiques des cherts et des BIFs. Le fort parallélisme entre l’évolution temporelle des compositions isotopiques des deux précipités met en évidence leur origine commune, l’océan. Cependant, les compositions isotopiques des BIFs sont systématiquement plus légères d’environ 1.5‰ que les signatures enregistrées pas les cherts. Cette différence est interprétée comme le reflet de mécanismes de dépôts différents. L’alourdissement progressif des compositions isotopiques concomitant à une diminution des rapports Ge/Si reflètent une diminution des apports hydrothermaux ainsi que la mise en place d’une désilicification de plus en plus importante et/ou généralisée lors de l’altération des continents.

Texto completo(1) A new mass spectrometer method (HR-SF-ICPMS) has been developed for 30Si-isotopic abundance measurements. This methodology is faster and easier than the previous available methodologies and has the same precision. A complete set of incubation was coupled with parallel 32Si-incubations and the two methodologies give not significantly different bSiO2 production rates. In the Southern Ocean, especially in the southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the large silicic acid concentration degrades the sensitivity of the method with Si dissolution fluxes staying generally below the detection limit. In contrast, the 28Si-isotopic dilution was sensitive enough to assess low biogenic silica dissolution rates in silicic acid poor waters of the northern ACC. We show that large accumulation of detrital dissolving biogenic silica after productive period implies really efficient silicon loop with integrated (euphotic layer) dissolution:production ratio equal or larger than 1.
(2) We largely expand the silicic acid isotopic data in the open ocean. Relatively simple mass and isotopic balances have been performed in the Antarctic Zone and have allowed to apply for the first time ä30Si in a quantitative way to estimate regional net silica production and quantify source waters fueling bSiO2 productivity. We observe that at the end of the productive period as suggested with 30Si-incubation, large accumulation of detrital biogenic silica in the surface waters increase the D:P ratio and subsequently dampens the bSiO2 production mediated isotopic fractionation with residual biogenic silica carrying heavier ä30Si than expected. Seasonal isotopic evolution is simulated and seems in agreement with our observations. These simulations strongly suggest working with non-zero order equations to fully assess the seasonal expression of the different processes involved: mixing, uptake, dissolution. Si-isotopes are also tracking the origin and fates of the different ACC pools across the Southern Ocean meridional circulation. Moreover during the circumpolar eastward pathway, the bSiO2 dissolution in deep water decreases the corresponding ä30Si values and this imprint is further transmitted via the upper limb of the meridional circulation in the intermediate water masses.

Texto completodesquelles on déduit ses propriétés de partage. Notre but est de valider une approche ab initio, i.e. libre de tout paramètre issu de l'expérience, permettant la prédiction du partage entre deux matériaux. On s'est intéressé aux matériaux: quartz, vapeur d'eau, glace, kaolinite, lizardite, enstatite, forstérite, brucite et gibbsite. Certains ont fait l'objet d'études expérimentales précises de leurs différentes propriétés physiques, ce qui nous permet de valider notre approche, et tous sont de grand intérêt en sciences de la Terre, ce qui nous permet de proposer de nouvelles lois de partage en fonction de la température, et de vérifier la validité de celles déjà proposées. C'est la première fois qu'une telle étude systématique est réalisée à partir d'une approche ab initio, et sur autant de systèmes différents. On a donc procédé à une étude la plus complète possible des sources d'erreur susceptibles d'influencer le résultat final. Par ailleurs, cette approche nous permet d'analyser de façon plus détaillée les processus physiques à l'origine du partage isotopique dans ces différents matériaux.

Texto completoIn this study, we seek to establish the weathering budget at the scale of the island of Mayotte (rivers and groundwater), to constrain the impact of dominant control factors to the weathering both locally and at a global scale, and then to characterize the processes involved in the fractionation of silicon isotopes across the weathering profile.Two field campaigns, in order to sample river water and groundwater, were carried out during wet and dry season, supplemented by the monthly monitoring of 5 rivers. By taking account of river floods (3% of the year) in the calculation of average annual weathering rates in the river has increased the annual weathering budget by ≈32%. The overall rate of Mayotte Island chemical weathering is 94 t/km²/yr (81 t/km²/yr from surface & 131 t/km²/yr from underground). Our results highlight the important role of groundwater flow to the dissolved material export directly to the ocean. The contribution of groundwater to the weathering budget decreases with the age of the geological formations, highlighting the involvement of the age of the rocks of the watershed as a key parameter in the weathering rates control.Si isotopes were analyzed for whole rock along two weathering profiles associated with different alteration conditions of the regolith: meteoric (low temperature) or hydrothermal (high temperature). At the weathering profile scale, the two types of alteration regimes showed 30Si depletion as a function of the degree of weathering. At the mineral scale, Si isotope fractionation was more negative during the secondary kaolinite precipitation at high temperatures than at low temperatures

Low-[delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O silicic magmas are found in many volcanic provinces throughout the world, including the Snake River Plain-Yellowstone volcanic province (SRPY). The origin of SRPY low-[delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O silicic magmas is controversial, and centers on two disputed models: [1] a caldera collapse model that proposes reworking of the hydrothermally altered intra-caldera fill into the underlying silicic magma body, where each successive eruption lowers the [delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O of the magma eventually producing a low-[delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O magma and [2] melting previously hydrothermally altered mid-upper crust to form low-[delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O magmas. The mid-Miocene Santa Rosa-Calico volcanic field (SC) lies in northern Nevada. Brueseke and Hart (2008) described the geology and petrology of the SC, but did not deal with the [superscript]1[superscript]8O compositions of any locally sourced silicic magma. In the existing geological framework of the SC, this project aims to evaluate the two disputed models for low-[delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O silicic magma generation by analyzing the [delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O values of SC silicic eruptive products. Fifteen representative samples of locally erupted silicic units (e.g. ash-flow tuffs and lavas) were chosen for [superscript]1[superscript]8O analyses based on Sr-Nd-Pb isotope compositions, whole rock geochemistry, and field/temporal relationships. Each sample was crushed, sieved, and quartz and feldspar crystals were handpicked, described, and analyzed for their [superscript]1[superscript]8O compositions. Our results show that low-[delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O values exist in the SC and are limited to the youngest erupted silicic unit, the 15.8 to 15.4 Ma Cold Springs tuff, which was also the only unit erupted from a caldera. Cold Springs tuff [delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O feldspar values range from 2.36 to 4.05[per mil]; the unit is not quartz-bearing. Older silicic lavas that are not petrogenetically related to the Cold Springs tuff are characterized by normal [delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O feldspar values that range from 7.19 to 10.04[per mil]. Magma mixing models indicate that the source of the Cold Springs is a mixture of hydrothermally altered Granite Peak-Sawtooth granitoid and local mid-Miocene basalt, with an approximate range of [delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O values of 2-4[per mil], by fluids (with [delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O values ranging from -12[per mil] to + 7[per mil]) from the nearby hydrothermal system at Buckskin Mountain. This result follows the model by Boroughs et al. (2005) of prior alteration and melting, forming low-[delta][superscript]1[superscript]8O silicic magmas.
