Hornblende-melt trace-element partitioning measured by ion microprobe
T. W. Sisson
1994, Chemical Geology (117) 331-344
Trace-element abundances were measured in situ by ion microprobe in five samples of hornblende and melt ranging from basaltic andesite to high-silica rhyolite. Except for one sample, for which quench overgrowth or disequilibrium is suspected, the abundance ratios show systematic inter-element and inter-sample variations, and probably approach true partition coefficients....
A pore-pressure diffusion model for estimating landslide-inducing rainfall
M.E. Reid
1994, Journal of Geology (102) 709-717
Many types of landslide movement are induced by large rainstorms, and empirical rainfall intensity/duration thresholds for initiating movement have been determined for various parts of the world. In this paper, I present a simple pressure diffusion model that provides a physically based...
Re-Os isotopic evidence for an enriched-mantle source for the Noril'sk-type, ore-bearing intrusions, Siberia
R.J. Walker, J. W. Morgan, M.F. Horan, G.K. Czamanske, E.J. Krogstad, V.A. Fedorenko, V.E. Kunilov
1994, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (58) 4179-4197
Magmatic Cu-Ni sulfide ores and spatially associated ultramafic and mafic rocks from the Noril'sk I, Talnakh, and Kharaelakh intrusions are examined for Re-Os isotopic systematics. Neodymium and lead isotopic data also are reported for the ultramafic and mafic rocks. The Re-Os data for most samples indicate closed-system behavior since the...
Some comparisons between mining-induced and laboratory earthquakes
Art McGarr
1994, Pure and Applied Geophysics PAGEOPH (142) 467-489
Although laboratory stick-slip friction experiments have long been regarded as analogs to natural crustal earthquakes, the potential use of laboratory results for understanding the earthquake source mechanism has not been fully exploited because of essential difficulties in relating seismographic data to measurements made in the controlled laboratory environment. Mining-induced earthquakes,...
A debris flow deposit in alluvial, coal-bearing facies, Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, USA: Evidence for catastrophic termination of a mire
S. B. Roberts, R.W. Stanton, R. M. Flores
1994, International Journal of Coal Geology (25) 213-241
Coal and clastic facies investigations of a Paleocene coal-bearing succession in the Grass Creek coal mine, southwestern Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, USA, suggest that disruption of peat accumulation in recurrent mires was caused by the repetitive progradation of crevasse splays and, ultimately,...
The precision of wet atmospheric deposition data from national atmospheric deposition program/national trends network sites determined with collocated samplers
M.A. Nilles, J.D. Gordon, L.J. Schroder
1994, Atmospheric Environment (28) 1121-1128
A collocated, wet-deposition sampler program has been operated since October 1988 by the U.S. Geological Survey to estimate the overall sampling precision of wet atmospheric deposition data collected at selected sites in the National Atmospheric Deposition Program and National Trends Network (NADP/NTN). A duplicate set of wet-deposition sampling instruments was...
Gravity-induced stresses in finite slopes
W. Z. Savage
1994, International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts (31) 471-483
An exact solution for gravity-induced stresses in finite elastic slopes is presented. This solution, which is applied for gravity-induced stresses in 15, 30, 45 and 90?? finite slopes, has application in pit-slope design, compares favorably with published finite element results for this problem and satisfies the conditions that shear and...
Geochemistry of the 1989-1990 eruption of redoubt volcano: Part I. Whole-rock major- and trace-element chemistry
C.J. Nye, S.E. Swanson, V.F. Avery, T. P. Miller
1994, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (62) 429-452
The 1989-1990 eruption of Redoubt Volcano produced medium-K calc-alkaline andesite and dacite of limited compositional range (58.2-63.4% SiO2) and entrained quenched andesitic inclusions (55% SiO2) which bear chemical similarities to the rest of the ejecta. The earliest (December 15) magmas are pumiceous, often compositionally banded, and the majority is relatively...
Suspended sediments of the modern Amazon and Orinoco rivers
R.H. Meade
1994, Quaternary International (21) 29-39
The Amazon and Orinoco Rivers are massive transcontinental conveyance systems for suspended sediment. They derive about 90% of their sediment from the Andes that support their western headwaters, transport it for thousands of kilometers across the breadth of the continent and deposit it in the coastal zones of the Atlantic....
A precise 232Th-208Pb chronology of fine-grained monazite: Age of the Bayan Obo REE-Fe-Nb ore deposit, China
Jingyuan Wang, M. Tatsumoto, X. Li, W. R. Premo, E. C. T. Chao
1994, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (58) 3155-3169
We have obtained precise Th-Pb internal isochron ages on monazite and bastnaesite for the world's largest known rare earth elements (REE)-Fe-Nb ore deposit, the Bayan Obo of Inner Mongolia, China. The monazite samples, collected from the carbonate-hosted ore zone, contain extremely small amounts of uranium (less than 10 ppm) but...
Geochemical soil sampling for deeply-buried mineralized breccia pipes, northwestern Arizona
K. J. Wenrich, R. M. Aumente-Modreski
1994, Applied Geochemistry (9) 431-454
Thousands of solution-collapse breccia pipes crop out in the canyons and on the plateaus of northwestern Arizona; some host high-grade uranium deposits. The mineralized pipes are enriched in Ag, As, Ba, Co, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, V and Zn. These breccia pipes formed as sedimentary strata collapsed into...
