  • Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Nephrite Jade from Yinggelike Deposit, Altyn Tagh (Xinjiang, NW China)
    minerals Article Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Nephrite Jade from Yinggelike Deposit, Altyn Tagh (Xinjiang, NW China) Ying Jiang 1, Guanghai Shi 1,* , Liguo Xu 2 and Xinling Li 3 1 State Key Laboratory of Geological Processes and Mineral Resources, China University of Geosciences, Beijing 100083, China; [email protected] 2 Geological Museum of China, Beijing 100034, China; [email protected] 3 Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute, Xinjiang 830004, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-010-8232-1836 Received: 6 April 2020; Accepted: 6 May 2020; Published: 8 May 2020 Abstract: The historic Yinggelike nephrite jade deposit in the Altyn Tagh Mountains (Xinjiang, NW China) is renowned for its gem-quality nephrite with its characteristic light-yellow to greenish-yellow hue. Despite the extraordinary gemological quality and commercial significance of the Yinggelike nephrite, little work has been done on this nephrite deposit, due to its geographic remoteness and inaccessibility. This contribution presents the first systematic mineralogical and geochemical studies on the Yinggelike nephrite deposit. Electron probe microanalysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and isotope ratio mass spectrometry were used to measure the mineralogy, bulk-rock chemistry and stable (O and H) isotopes characteristics of samples from Yinggelike. Field investigation shows that the Yinggelike nephrite orebody occurs in the dolomitic marble near the intruding granitoids. Petrographic studies and EMPA data indicate that the nephrite is mainly composed of fine-grained tremolite, with accessory pargasite, diopside, epidote, allanite, prehnite, andesine, titanite, zircon, and calcite. Geochemical studies show that all nephrite samples have low bulk-rock Fe/(Fe + Mg) values (0.02–0.05), as well as low Cr (0.81–34.68 ppm), Co (1.10–2.91 ppm), and Ni (0.52–20.15 ppm) contents.

  • From Science to Survival: Using Virtual Exhibits to Communicate the Significance of Polar Heritage Sites in the Canadian Arctic
    Open Archaeology 2016; 2: 209–231 Original Study Open Access Peter Dawson*, Richard Levy From Science to Survival: Using Virtual Exhibits to Communicate the Significance of Polar Heritage Sites in the Canadian Arctic DOI 10.1515/opar-2016-0016 Received January 20, 2016; accepted October 29, 2016 Abstract: Many of Canada’s non-Indigenous polar heritage sites exist as memorials to the Heroic Age of arctic and Antarctic Exploration which is associated with such events as the First International Polar Year, the search for the Northwest Passage, and the race to the Poles. However, these and other key messages of significance are often challenging to communicate because the remote locations of such sites severely limit opportunities for visitor experience. This lack of awareness can make it difficult to rally support for costly heritage preservation projects in arctic and Antarctic regions. Given that many polar heritage sites are being severely impacted by human activity and a variety of climate change processes, this raises concerns. In this paper, we discuss how virtual heritage exhibits can provide a solution to this problem. Specifically, we discuss a recent project completed for the Virtual Museum of Canada at Fort Conger, a polar heritage site located in Quttinirpaaq National Park on northeastern Ellesmere Island (http://fortconger.org). Keywords: Arctic; Heritage, Fort Conger, Virtual Reality, Computer Modeling, Education, Climate Change, Polar Exploration, Digital Archaeology. 1 Introduction Climate change and the emerging geopolitical significance of the Arctic have important implications for Canada’s polar heritage. In many Arctic regions, thawing permafrost, land subsidence, erosion, and flooding are causing irreparable damage to heritage sites associated with Inuit culture, historic Euro-North American exploration, whaling and the fur trade (Blankholm, 2009; BViikari, 2009; Camill, 2005; Hald, 2009; Hinzman et al., 2005; Morten, 2009; Stendel et al., 2008).

  • Examining Bias in Pollen-Based Quantitative Climate Reconstructions Induced by Human Impact on Vegetation in China Wei Ding1, Qinghai Xu2, Pavel E
    Examining bias in pollen-based quantitative climate reconstructions induced by human impact on vegetation in China Wei Ding1, Qinghai Xu2, Pavel E. Tarasov1 1Institute of Geological Sciences, Palaeontology, Free University of Berlin, Berlin, 12249, Germany 5 2Institute of Nihewan Archaeology, Hebei Normal University, Shijiazhuang, 050024, China Correspondence to: Qinghai Xu ([email protected]) Abstract. Human impact is a well-known confounder in pollen-based quantitative climate reconstructions as most terrestrial ecosystems have been artificially affected to varying degrees. In this paper, we use a ‘human-induced’ pollen dataset (H-set) and a corresponding ‘natural’ pollen dataset (N-set) to establish pollen-climate calibration sets for temperate eastern China 10 (TEC). The two calibration sets, taking a Weighted Averaging Partial Least Squares (WA-PLS) approach, are used to reconstruct past climate variables from a fossil record, which is located at the margin of the East Asian Summer Monsoon in north-central China and covers the late glacial–Holocene from 14.7 ka BP (thousand years before AD 1950). Ordination results suggest that mean annual precipitation (Pann) is the main explanatory variable of both pollen composition and percentage distributions in both datasets. The Pann reconstructions, based on the two calibration sets, demonstrate consistently similar 15 patterns and general trends, suggesting a relatively strong climate impact on the regional vegetation and pollen spectra. However, our results also indicate that human impact may obscure climate signals derived from fossil pollen assemblages. In a test with modern climate and pollen data, the Pann influence on pollen distribution decreases in the H-set while the human influence index (HII) rises.

  • Native Language Immersion Initiative
    YEARS 1 & 2 OUTCOMES REPORT OCTOBER 2019 NATIVE LANGUAGE IMMERSION INITIATIVE OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLE We believe that when armed with appropriate resources, Native peoples hold the capacity and ingenuity to ensure the sustainable, economic, spiritual and cultural well-being of their communities. 1 NLII | YEARS 1 & 2 OUTCOMES REPORT First Nations Development Institute (First Nations) launched its Native Language Immersion Initiative (NLII) in late 2017 to build on its longtime efforts to support the revitalization and perpetuation of Native languages. Language is a vital asset for Native people and communities. It defines who we are, where we come from and our value systems that, in many ways, cannot be translated into English. Language-immersion programs have been recognized as providing key benefits to Native communities by boosting educational achievement and student retention rates. They also support community identity, Native systems of kinship, and management of community, cultural and natural resources. Thank you to National Endowment for the Humanities, Lannan Foundation, NoVo Foundation, Kalliopeia Foundation and thousands of individual donors across the nation for supporting this initiative. Because of this generous support, First Nations was able to provide 25 grants totaling more than $2.1 million in 2018 and 2019 through this initiative. We are pleased to share the initial results of Years 1 and 2 of this vital initiative with our stories of strength, CHAMPIONS ACROSS THE NATION resistance, We are grateful to the thousands of individuals across the nation who resiliency supported this initiative in late 2018 through a matching-gift challenge. and hope. 2 NLII | YEARS 1 & 2 OUTCOMES REPORT REFLECTIONS BENNY SHENDO, JR.

The obtained apatite fission-track age is 3.1–61.9 Ma, and the zircon fission-track age is 49.2–123.5 Ma. Although the average apatite age is consistent with ages predicted from the stratigraphy, nine of the 11 apatite fission-track ages have P(χ2) < 5%, indicating that the grains experienced heterogeneous annealing after sedimentation. The average zircon age is greater than that indicated by stratigraphy, and all eight zircon fission ages have P(χ2) > 5%, exhibiting consistent characteristics and indicating that zircons retain provenance age information after burial. From the zircon and apatite ages, the fission-track length distribution, and the geological setting, the northwestern Qaidam Basin has experienced two tectonothermal events since the Late Mesozoic, at 39.1 ± 9.3 to 133.7 ± 6.6Maand1.2 ± 0.6to32.0 ± 3.0 Ma.

  • Physical and Chemical Characteristics of the Active Layer and Permafrost, Herschel Island, Western Arctic Coast, Canada
    PERMAFROST AND PERIGLACIAL PROCESSES Permafrost Periglac. Process. 13: 171–185 (2002) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).

Burn1 1 Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, K1S 5B6, Canada 2 Research Branch, Agriculture and Agrifood Canada, 4200 Hwy 97, Summerland, B.C., V0H 1Z0, Canada ABSTRACT Physical and geochemical characteristics of near-surface permafrost and the impact of permafrost degradation on soil and water chemistry were investigated at five sites on Herschel Island, Yukon Territory. The distribution of soluble cations, moisture and organic matter content in turbic cryosols from undisturbed terrain indicated a thaw unconformity 50 to 80 cm below the base of the present active layer. Palaeoactive-layer depth, estimated at between 90 and 100 cm, is less than at comparable sites in the Mackenzie Delta area. The difference may be due to the comparative proximity of Herschel Island to the Beaufort Sea coastline in the early Holocene. Soluble cations in permafrost and the active layer of static cryosols at recently disturbed sites were two orders of magnitude higher than in the active layer at undisturbed sites. NaC was the dominant cation in undisturbed permafrost, recently disturbed ground, and surface runoff derived from disturbed areas. Although degradation of permafrost following terrain disturbance has resulted in surface salinization, a condition detrimental to vegetation growth, leaching of soluble salts from disturbed areas has occurred over time.
