    9. Small-Scale Shallow-Water Carbonate Sequences of Resolution Guyot (Sites 866, 867, and 868)1

    Winterer, E.L., Sager, W.W., Firth, J.V., and Sinton, J.M. (Eds.), 1995 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 143 9. SMALL-SCALE SHALLOW-WATER CARBONATE SEQUENCES OF RESOLUTION GUYOT (SITES 866, 867, AND 868)1 Andre Strasser,2 Hubert Arnaud,3 François Baudin,4 and Ursula Röhl5 ABSTRACT The Hauteri vian to upper Albian carbonate sediments drilled on Resolution Guyot are all of shallow-water origin. The volcanic basement is covered by dolomitized oolitic and oncolitic grainstones of an inner-ramp setting. At 1400 m below seafloor (mbsf), they pass into peritidal facies punctuated by small coral and mdist bioherms and by beach sediments. Oolites dominate between 790 and 680 mbsf. The upper part of the guyot (from 680 mbsf up to the phosphate-iron-manganese crust capping the Cretaceous platform) is composed of lagoonal carbonates exhibiting some calcrete horizons. The material collected from Holes 867B and 868A implies that the platform was rimmed by barrier islands and storm beaches, and that reefs (rudists and sponges) were of minor importance. This is in contrast to modern atolls, where reefs are the major rim builders. In the late Albian, the platform was subaerially exposed and karstified, then drowned. Although average recovery was low (15.4% for Hole 866A, 29.2% for 867B, 46.3% for 868A), the cored material clearly shows that the sedimentary record is composed of small, meter-scale sequences. They are especially well developed in platform- interior, lagoonal-peritidal settings, where facies evolution indicates cyclic deepening and shallowing of the depositional environ- ment.

    Appendix 2. the Mystery of Guyot Formation and Sinking

    Appendix 2 The Mystery of Guyot Formation and Sinking Origin of Guyots Unknown In 1946, geologist Harry Hess was the first geologist to describe guyots (flat-topped seamount).1 Since then, the number of guyots has become numerous. Resolution Guyot in the Mid-Pacific Mountains that was studied in the 1990s by the Deep Sea Drilling Project2 is a typical guyot. Figure A2.1 shows the silhouette. Ever since Hess’s time, the cause of the flat top has eluded explanation.3 Winterer and Met- Figure A2.1. Silhouette of Resolution Guyot zler maintain: “Since Hess first recognized them in the Mid-Pacific Mountains (drawn by Mrs. Melanie Richard). in 1946, the origin of flat-topped seamounts, or guyots, has remained one of the most persistent problems in marine geology.”4 Since guyots are believed to have been truncated near sea level, there are two suggested subsid- ence mechanisms used to explain why they are now found well below sea level. But some guyots must have become flat well below sea level. Not All Guyots Eroded At Sea Level Many scientists have simply assumed that the flat top of a guyot was eroded at or near sea level.5,6 ‘This has been challenged by a few marine geologists.’7,8 For instance, a number of guyots near the East Pacific Rise have been attributed to the infilling of calderas by small lava flows well below sea level.9,10,11,12 “But, these guyots are small 1 Hess, H.H., 1946.

Received: 12 May 2020; Accepted: 10 June 2020; Published: 12 June 2020 Abstract: During the glacial episodes of the Quaternary, European forests were restricted to small favourable spots, namely refugia, acting as biodiversity reservoirs. the Iberian, Italian and Balkan peninsulas have been considered as the main glacial refugia of trees in Europe. In this study, we estimate the composition of the last glacial forest in a coastal cave of the Cilento area (SW Italy) in seven time frames, spanning from the last Pleniglacial to the Late Glacial. Charcoal analyses were performed in seven archaeological layers. Furthermore, a paleoclimate modelling (Maxent) approach was used to complement the taxonomic identification of charcoal fragments to estimate the past potential distribution of tree species in Europe. Our results showed that the mesothermophilous forest survived in this region in the core of the Mediterranean basin during the Last Glacial Period (LGP, since ~36 ka cal BP), indicating that this area played an important role as a reservoir of woodland biodiversity.

    Journal of Water Resource and Hydraulic Engineering Oct. 2015, Vol. 4 Iss. 4, PP. 388-397 Coastal Reservoir-a Technology That May Dominate Future Water Supply Shu-Qing Yang School of Civil, Mining and Environmental Engineering, Univ. of Wollongong [email protected] Abstract-New large dam construction is a worldwide problem due to its negative impacts on the ecosystem, and as a result, it is crucial to investigate the future water supply infrastructures. After comparison with the existing solutions for water supply, such as inland reservoirs, desalination plants and wastewater reuse facilities, we conclude that coastal reservoir will be the dominant solution in the future because: a) increasing numbers of people migrate towards coastal/deltaic regions and more megacities are emerging along the coastline; consequently the water shortage on the coastline is the most severe; b) the future water deficit is huge (about 10 times the flow of the Nile river), with no solution other than the implementations of coastal reservoirs, freshwater reservoirs in the seawater to develop runoff from rivers, able to provide so much water. Now the world only uses 1/6 of total runoff, with the remaining 5/6 of runoff lost to the sea; c) all solutions for water supply have significant impacts on the environment, and only the strategy of using coastal reservoirs is sustainable, as it is without brine as a by-productor high carbon emissions. This paper discusses the supply of water to Beijing and Tianjin, the most notorious region in the world for its thirst. It is found that the water shortage problem in the region can be solved, the efficiency of South-North Water Diversion Project can be improved significantly, and carbon emission can be reduced in the region if this new solution is applied.

SEDIMENT FACIES AND ENVIRONMENTS OF DEPOSITION ON CRETACEOUS PACIFIC CARBONATE PLATFORMS: AN OVERVIEW OF DREDGED ROCKS FROM WESTERN PACIFIC GUYOTS1 Robert J. van Waasbergen2 ABSTRACT Many years of dredging of Cretaceous guyots in the western Pacific Ocean have shown the widespread occurrence of drowned carbonate platforms that were active in the Early to middle Cretaceous. Through petrographic analysis of available dredged limestone samples from these guyots, eight limestone lithofacies are distinguished, of which the first three are found in great abundance or in dredges from more than one guyot. The eight lithofacies are used to form a composite image of the depositional environments on the Cretaceous Pacific carbonate platforms. The most abundant facies (Facies 1) is a coarse bioclastic grainstone found in the forereef environment. Facies 2 comprises mudstone in which small bioclasts are rare to abundant. This facies is typical of the platform-interior ("lagoon") environment. Facies 3 comprises packstones and wackestones of peloids and coated grains, and is attributed to deposition in environments of moderate energy dominated by tidal currents. A number of lithofacies were recognized in only a few samples, or only in samples from a single guyot, and are therefor termed "minor" facie;. Facies 4 comprises muddy sponge-algal bafflestone deposits probably associated with shallow, platform-interior bioherms. Facies 5 comprises oolite grainstones and is attributed to high-energy platform-margin environments. Facies 6 is a mixed carbonate/siliciclastic deposit and may be associated with an episode of renewed volcanic activity on one of the guyots (Allison) in the Mid-Pacific Mountains.

    1 Coastal Protection

    Notes for GE4211 Field Trip to Marina Barrage (2 Apr ‘18) Denitza Voutchkova 1 COASTAL PROTECTION Coastal protection is one of the priorities in dealing with climate change effects in Singapore (the other is “improving drainage”). Minimum land reclamation level in Singapore was raised from 3 to 4 m above mean sea level in 2011 to address the projected sea level raise under the 2nd Climate change study. Defense from erosion: 70-80% of Singapore’s coastline: either walls or stone embankment 30-20% is “natural”, e.g. sandy beaches and mangroves Developing appropriate coastal measures coastal engineering, wave dynamics, coastal morphology, and hydrodynamics. Figure 1 2011 distribution of seawalls (in orange) around Singapore (source: Lai et al 2015, uploaded to IVLE, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2014.11.006) Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has commissioned a study that will form the national framework for coastal protection measures (the Straits Times, Jan 5, 2018). The study started in 2013 and was initially planned to be completed by the end of 2017, but has been pushed back to the 2nd half of 2018. The reason for this delay was because “more time is needed to consider fresh input and to engage stakeholders, so coastal protection strategies will complement development plans” (the Straits Times, see link below).

    Reservoir Ages in Eastern Pacific Coastal and Estuarine Waters B

    [RADIOCARBON, VOL. 38, No. 3,19%, P. 573-582] RESERVOIR AGES IN EASTERN PACIFIC COASTAL AND ESTUARINE WATERS B. LYNN INGRAM Department of Geography, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720 USA and JOHN R. SOUTHON Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, L-397, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, California 94551 USA ABSTRACT. We have refined marine reservoir age estimates for eastern Pacific coastal waters with radiocarbon measure- ments of mollusk shells collected prior to 1950. We have also investigated interspecific variability in 14C ages for historic and ancient shells from San Francisco Bay. INTRODUCTION Globally, ocean surface waters are depleted in radiocarbon content relative to the atmosphere b an amount equivalent to 40014C Y Y r. Regionally the oceans devia to from this value, reflecting variations in upwelling (Stuiver, Pearson and Braziunas 1986), freshwater inflow in coastal regions S iker 1980), and interhemis heric variations in atmospheric C content (Stuiver and Braziunas 1993). Knowledge of the value of the regional deviation from the ocean reservoir age (or AR) is necessary to accurately calibrate 14C ages of marine materials. Since the 1950s, determination of AR values by surface water 14( measurements has been precluded due to the artificially high 14C activity in surface waters from nuclear testing. Thus, AR values in coastal waters must be determined indirectly from 14C measurements of carbonate shells or other marine materials of known age collected prior to 1950. Previous 14C measurements of known-age mollusk shells indicate an average AR for coastal Cali- fornia of 225 ± 15 yr, for seven analyses (Berger, Taylor and Libby 1966; Robinson and Trimble 1981), corresponding 14C to a significant depletion.

This paper discusses how to supply enough sufficiently clean watero t such cities using the technologies of coastal reservoirs and wetland pre-treatments, as well as employing the SPP strategy. The so-called coastal reservoir is defined as a freshwater reservoir situated in seawater which sources its water from river runoff; to improve its water quality, a wetland is used to pre-treat the runoff that is potentially polluted by domestic, agricultural and industrial contaminants.
