    Description: A recent global meta‐analysis reported a decrease in terrestrial but increase in freshwater insect abundance and biomass (van Klink et al., Science 368, p. 417). The authors suggested that water quality has been improving, thereby challenging recent reports documenting drastic global declines in freshwater biodiversity. We raise two major concerns with the meta‐analysis and suggest that these account for the discrepancy with the declines reported elsewhere. First, total abundance and biomass alone are poor indicators of the status of freshwater insect assemblages, and the observed differences may well have been driven by the replacement of sensitive species with tolerant ones. Second, many of the datasets poorly represent global trends and reflect responses to local conditions or nonrandom site selection. We conclude that the results of the meta‐analysis should not be considered indicative of an overall improvement in the condition of freshwater ecosystems.

    Description: Subtropical seagrass meadows play a major role in the coastal carbon cycle, but the nature of air–water CO2 exchanges over these ecosystems is still poorly understood. The complex physical forcing of air–water exchange in coastal waters challenges our ability to quantify bulk exchanges of CO2 and water (evaporation), emphasizing the need for direct measurements. We describe the first direct measurements of evaporation and CO2 flux over a calcifying seagrass meadow near Bob Allen Keys, Florida. Over the 78‐d study, CO2 emissions were 36% greater during the day than at night, and the site was a net CO2 source to the atmosphere of 0.27 ± 0.17 μmol m−2 s−1 (x̅ ± standard deviation). A quarter (23%) of the diurnal variability in CO2 flux was caused by the effect of changing water temperature on gas solubility. Furthermore, evaporation rates were ~ 10 times greater than precipitation, causing a 14% increase in salinity, a potential precursor of seagrass die‐offs. Evaporation rates were not correlated with solar radiation, but instead with air–water temperature gradient and wind shear. We also confirm the role of convective forcing on night‐time enhancement and day‐time suppression of gas transfer. At this site, temperature trends are regulated by solar heating, combined with shallow water depth and relatively consistent air temperature. Our findings indicate that evaporation and air–water CO2 exchange over shallow, tropical, and subtropical seagrass ecosystems may be fundamentally different than in submerged vegetated environments elsewhere, in part due to the complex physical forcing of coastal air–sea gas transfer.

    Description: In this article, we review an array of positions in the contemporary literature that concern the moral reasons for vegan consumerism. We situate veganism within the broader field of ethical consumerism, present a variety of motivations and justifications for veganism, and discuss criticisms of vegan consumerism. The arguments presented in the article ultimately pertain to the question of whether concerns for animals, human rights, or climate justice entail strong moral reasons to adopt a vegan lifestyle. Additionally, we address issues of particular relevance for political philosophy, such as whether organized vegan consumer campaigns are a politically legitimate means to strive for structural change. We hope to show that there are anthropocentric, as well as animal‐centered, reasons that speak in favor of radically reformed human–animal relations, including diets that are at least predominantly plant‐based.

    Description: Climate change imposes unusual long‐term trends in environmental conditions, plus some tremendous shifts in short‐term environmental variability, exerting additional stress on marine ecosystems. This paper describes an empirical method that aims to improve our understanding of the performance of benthic filter feeders experiencing changes in environmental conditions, such as temperature, on time scales of minutes to hours, especially during daily cycles or extreme events such as marine heatwaves or hypoxic upwelling. We describe the Fluorometer and Oximeter equipped Flow‐through Setup (FOFS), experimental design, and methodological protocols to evaluate the flood of data, enabling researchers to monitor important energy budget traits, including filtration and respiration of benthic filter‐feeders in response to fine‐tuned environmental variability. FOFS allows online recording of deviations in chlorophyll and dissolved oxygen concentrations induced by the study organism. Transparent data processing through Python scripts provides the possibility to adjust procedures to needs when working in different environmental contexts (e.g., temperature vs. pH, salinity, oxygen, biological cues) and with different filter‐feeding species. We successfully demonstrate the functionality of the method through recording responses of Baltic Sea blue mussels (Mytilus) during one‐day thermal cycles. This method practically provides a tool to help researchers exposing organisms to environmental variability for some weeks or months, to relate the observed long‐term performance responses to short‐term energy budget responses, and to explain their findings with the potential to generalize patterns. The method, therefore, allows a more detailed description of stress‐response relationships and the detection of species' tolerance limits.

    Description: By interacting with radiation, clouds modulate the flow of energy through the Earth system, the circulation of the atmosphere, and regional climate. We review the impact of cloud‐radiation interactions for the atmospheric circulation in the present‐day climate, its internal variability and its response to climate change. After summarizing cloud‐controlling factors and cloud‐radiative effects, we clarify the scope and limits of the Clouds On‐Off Klimate Model Intercomparison Experiment (COOKIE) and cloud‐locking modeling methods. COOKIE showed that the presence of cloud‐radiative effects shapes the circulation in the present‐day climate in many important ways, including the width of the tropical rain belts and the position of the extratropical storm tracks. Cloud locking, in contrast, identified how clouds affect internal variability and the circulation response to global warming. This includes strong, but model‐dependent, shortwave and longwave cloud impacts on the El‐Nino Southern Oscillation, and the finding that most of the poleward circulation expansion in response to global warming can be attributed to radiative changes in clouds. We highlight the circulation impact of shortwave changes from low‐level clouds and longwave changes from rising high‐level clouds, and the contribution of these cloud changes to model differences in the circulation response to global warming. The review in particular draws attention to the role of cloud‐radiative heating within the atmosphere. We close by raising some open questions which, among others, concern the need for studying the cloud impact on regional scales and opportunities created by the next generation of global storm‐resolving models.

    Description: Freshwater ecosystems are hotspots of biodiversity. They are of major importance for humans because they provide vital ecosystem services. However, as humans tend to settle near freshwaters and coastal areas, these ecosystems are also over‐proportionally affected by anthropogenic stressors. Artificial light at night can occur as a form of environmental pollution, light pollution. Light pollution affects large areas on a worldwide scale, is growing exponentially in radiance and extent and can have diverse negative effects on flora, fauna and on human health. While the majority of ecological studies on artificial light at night covered terrestrial systems, the studies on aquatic light pollution have unraveled impact on aquatic organisms, ecosystem functions as well as land‐water‐interactions. Although monitoring of light pollution is routinely performed from space and supported by ground‐based measurements, the extent and the amount of artificial light at night affecting water bodies is still largely unknown. This information, however, is essential for the design of future laboratory and field experiments, to guide light planners and to give recommendations for light pollution regulations. We analyze this knowledge gap by reviewing night‐time light measurement techniques and discuss their current obstacles in the context of water bodies. We also provide an overview of light pollution studies in the aquatic context. Finally, we give recommendations on how comprehensive night‐time light measurements in aquatic systems, specifically in freshwater systems, should be designed in the future.

    Description: Large areas of Europe, especially in the Alps, are covered by carbonate rocks and in many alpine regions, karst springs are important sources for drinking water supply. Because of their high variability and heterogeneity, the understanding of the hydrogeological functioning of karst aquifers is of particular importance for their protection and utilisation. Climate change and heavy rainfall events are major challenges in managing alpine karst aquifers which possess an enormous potential for future drinking water supply. In this study, we present research from a high‐alpine karst system in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Großes Walsertal in Austria, which has a clearly defined catchment and is drained by only one spring system. Results show that (a) the investigated system is a highly dynamic karst aquifer with distinct reactions to rainfall events in discharge and electrical conductivity; (b) the estimated transient atmospheric CO2 sink is about 270 t/a; (c) the calculated carbonate rock denudation rate is between 23 and 47 mm/1000a and (d) the rainfall‐discharge behaviour and the internal flow dynamics can be successfully simulated using the modelling package KarstMod. The modelling results indicate the relevance of matrix storage in determining the discharge behaviour of the spring, particularly during low‐flow periods. This research and the consequent results can contribute and initiate a better understanding and management of alpine karst aquifers considering climate change with more heavy rainfall events and also longer dry periods.

    Description: The contribution of sediments to nutrient cycling of the coastal North Sea is strongly controlled by the intensity of fluxes across the sediment water interface. Pore‐water advection is one major exchange mechanism that is well described by models, as it is determined by physical parameters. In contrast, biotransport (i.e., bioirrigation, bioturbation) as the other major transport mechanism is much more complex. Observational data reflecting biotransport, from the German Bight for example, is scarce. We sampled the major sediment provinces of the German Bight repeatedly over the years from 2013 to 2019. By employing ex situ whole core incubations, we established the seasonal and spatial variability of macrofauna‐sustained benthic fluxes of oxygen and nutrients. A multivariate, partial least squares analysis identified faunal activity, in specifically bioturbation and bioirrigation, alongside temperature, as the most important drivers of oxygen and nutrient fluxes. Their combined effect explained 63% of the observed variability in oxygen fluxes, and 36–48% of variability in nutrient fluxes. Additional 10% of the observed variability of fluxes were explained by sediment type and the availability of plankton biomass. Based on our extrapolation by sediment provinces, we conclude that pore‐water advection and macrofaunal activity contributed equally to the total benthic oxygen uptake in the German Bight.

    Description: To test the general assumption that global warming will induce body size reduction in aquatic organisms, we used a system of lakes continually heated for six decades by warm water discharge from power plants. Their temperature elevation of 3–4°C corresponds with climate change forecasts for the end of the 21st century. We compared body size and reproduction of Daphnia longispina complex communities inhabiting heated and non‐heated (control) lakes nearby. No difference in body size was found, but Daphnia communities from heated lakes had a wider thermal breadth for reproduction. The two lake groups varied in the taxonomic composition of Daphnia communities. Thus, to disentangle inter‐ and intraspecific sources of variation, and to examine evolution vs. phenotypic plasticity of investigated traits, we performed two life history experiments: (1) a between‐species experiment compared D. galeata inhabiting heated lakes with D. longispina typical of nearby control lakes, under three temperature regimes; (2) a within‐species experiment compared D. galeata from heated lakes with conspecifics from high latitude (cold control) and low latitude (warm control) lakes, under two temperature regimes. The experiments revealed countergradient variation: environmental constraints on body size in situ concealed evolution of larger potential body size in Daphnia from heated lakes. In turn, evolution of increased body size plasticity resulted in an efficient resource allocation trade‐off: more effective reproduction at high temperature, at the cost of size reduction. We suggest that large size is adaptive during active overwintering, while plastic size reduction is a coping strategy for high temperatures.

    Description: We compared stable isotopes of water in plant stem (xylem) water and soil collected over a complete growing season from five well‐known long‐term study sites in northern/cold regions. These spanned a decreasing temperature gradient from Bruntland Burn (Scotland), Dorset (Canadian Shield), Dry Creek (USA), Krycklan (Sweden), to Wolf Creek (northern Canada). Xylem water was isotopically depleted compared to soil waters, most notably for deuterium. The degree to which potential soil water sources could explain the isotopic composition of xylem water was assessed quantitatively using overlapping polygons to enclose respective data sets when plotted in dual isotope space. At most sites isotopes in xylem water from angiosperms showed a strong overlap with soil water; this was not the case for gymnosperms. In most cases, xylem water composition on a given sampling day could be better explained if soil water composition was considered over longer antecedent periods spanning many months. Xylem water at most sites was usually most dissimilar to soil water in drier summer months, although sites differed in the sequence of change. Open questions remain on why a significant proportion of isotopically depleted water in plant xylem cannot be explained by soil water sources, particularly for gymnosperms. It is recommended that future research focuses on the potential for fractionation to affect water uptake at the soil‐root interface, both through effects of exchange between the vapour and liquid phases of soil water and the effects of mycorrhizal interactions. Additionally, in cold regions, evaporation and diffusion of xylem water in winter may be an important process.

Xylem water was isotopically depleted compared to soil waters, most notably for deuterium. At all sites except one, water sources of angiosperms could be associated with soil water, while the sources of water uptake by gymnosperms were much less easily explained.

    Description: In coastal marine environments, physical and biological forces can cause dynamic pH fluctuations from microscale (diffusive boundary layer [DBL]) up to ecosystem‐scale (benthic boundary layer [BBL]). In the face of ocean acidification (OA), such natural pH variations may modulate an organism's response to OA by providing temporal refugia. We investigated the effect of pH fluctuations, generated by the brown alga Fucus serratus' biological activity, on the calcifying epibionts Balanus improvisus and Electra pilosa under OA. For this, both epibionts were grown on inactive and biologically active surfaces and exposed to (1) constant pH scenarios under ambient (pH 8.1) or OA conditions (pH 7.7), or (2) oscillating pH scenarios mimicking BBL conditions at ambient (pH 7.7–8.6) or OA scenarios (pH 7.4–8.2). Furthermore, all treatment combinations were tested at 10°C and 15°C. Against our expectations, OA treatments did not affect epibiont growth under constant or fluctuating (BBL) pH conditions, indicating rather high robustness against predicted OA scenarios. Furthermore, epibiont growth was hampered and not fostered on active surfaces (fluctuating DBL conditions), indicating that fluctuating pH conditions of the DBL with elevated daytime pH do not necessarily provide temporal refugia from OA. In contrast, results indicate that factors other than pH may play larger roles for epibiont growth on macrophytes (e.g., surface characteristics, macrophyte antifouling defense, or dynamics of oxygen and nutrient concentrations). Warming enhanced epibiont growth rates significantly, independently of OA, indicating no synergistic effects of pH treatments and temperature within their natural temperature range.

    Description: The Wüstebach catchment belongs to the German TERENO (Terrestrial Environmental Observatories) network and was partially deforested (~21%) by the Eifel National Park in 2013. In this data paper, we provide 11‐year precipitation and stream water isotope data and the corresponding runoff discharge rates recorded in the Wüstebach catchment (from 2009 to 2019). In addition, we provide an overview of available datasets and access information for environmental data of the Wüstebach catchment that are discoverable with associated metadata at the Web‐based TERENO data portal. We anticipate that this comprehensive data set will give new insights in how deforestation influences the hydrological system, for exampole, in terms of transit time distribution, fraction of young water and water flow paths at the catchment scale.

    Description: Jähnig et al. make some useful points regarding the conclusions that can be drawn from our meta‐analysis; however, some issues require clarification. First, we never suggested that there was a globally increasing trend of freshwater insect abundances, but only spoke of an average increasing trend in the available data. We also did not suggest that freshwater quality has improved globally, but rather that documented improvements in water quality can explain at least some of the trends we observed. Second, as we acknowledged, our data are not a representative set of freshwater ecosystems around the world, but they are what is currently accessible. Third, there is indeed no doubt that changes in abundance or biomass need not correlate with changes in other aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness or functional composition. Our analysis was specifically focused on trends in community abundance/biomass because it has been the subject of recent study and speculation, and is a widely available metric in long‐term studies. To better understand the recent changes in freshwater insect assemblages, we encourage freshwater ecologists to further open their troves of data from countless long‐term monitoring schemes so that larger and more comprehensive syntheses can be undertaken.

    Description: Large urban areas are typically characterized by a mosaic of different land uses, with contrasting mixes of impermeable and permeable surfaces that alter “green” and “blue” water flux partitioning. Understanding water partitioning in such heterogeneous environments is challenging but crucial for maintaining a sustainable water management during future challenges of increasing urbanization and climate warming. Stable isotopes in water have outstanding potential to trace the partitioning of rainfall along different flow paths and identify surface water sources. While isotope studies are an established method in many experimental catchments, surprisingly few studies have been conducted in urban environments. Here, we performed synoptic sampling of isotopes in precipitation, surface water and groundwater across the complex city landscape of Berlin, Germany, for a large ‐scale overview of the spatio‐temporal dynamics of urban water cycling. By integrating stable isotopes of water with other hydrogeochemical tracers we were able to identify contributions of groundwater, surface runoff during storm events and effluent discharge on streams with variable degrees of urbanization. We could also assess the influence of summer evaporation on the larger Spree and Havel rivers and local wetlands during the exceptionally warm and dry summers of 2018 and 2019. Our results demonstrate that using stable isotopes and hydrogeochemical data in urban areas has great potential to improve our understanding of water partitioning in complex, anthropogenically‐affected landscapes. This can help to address research priorities needed to tackle future challenges in cities, including the deterioration of water quality and increasing water scarcity driven by climate warming, by improving the understanding of time‐variant rainfall‐runoff behaviour of urban streams, incorporating field data into ecohydrological models, and better quantifying urban evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge.

    Description: Understanding the interactions of vegetation and soil water under varying hydrological conditions is crucial to aid quantitative assessment of land‐use sustainability for maintaining water supply for humans and plants. Isolating and estimating the volume and ages of water stored within different compartments of the critical zone, and the associated fluxes of evaporation, transpiration, and groundwater recharge, facilitates quantification of these soil–plant‐water interactions and the response of ecohydrological fluxes to wet and dry periods. We used the tracer‐aided ecohydrological model EcH2O‐iso to examine the response of water ages of soil water storage, groundwater recharge, evaporation, and root‐uptake at a mixed land use site, in northeastern Germany during the drought of 2018 and in the following winter months. The approach applied uses a dynamic vegetation routine which constrains water use by ecological mechanisms. Two sites with regionally typical land‐use types were investigated: a forested site with sandy soils and a deep rooting zone and a grassland site, with loamier soils and shallower rooting zone. This results in much younger water ages (〈1 year) through the soil profile in the forest compared to the grass, coupled with younger groundwater recharge. The higher water use in the forest resulted in a more pronounced annual cycle of water ages compared to the more consistent water age in the loamier soil of the grasslands. The deeper rooting zone of the forested site also resulted in older root‐uptake water usage relative to soil evaporation, while the grassland site root‐uptake was similar to that of soil evaporation. Besides more dynamic water ages in the forest, replenishment of younger soil waters to soil storage was within 6 months following the drought (cf. 〉8 months in the grassland). The temporal evaluation of the responsiveness of soil and vegetation interactions in hydrologic extremes such as 2018 is essential to understand changes in hydrological processes and the resilience of the landscape to the longer and more severe summer droughts predicted under future climate change.

    Description: Browning caused by colored dissolved organic matter is predicted to have large effects on aquatic ecosystems. However, there is limited experimental evidence about direct and indirect effects of browning on zooplankton in complex field settings. We used a combination of an ecosystem‐scale enclosure experiment and laboratory incubations to test how prolonged browning affects physiological and life‐history traits of the water flea Daphnia longispina, a key species in lake food webs, and whether any such effects are reversible. Daphnids and water were collected from enclosures in a deep clear‐water lake, where the natural plankton community had been exposed for 10 weeks to browning or to control conditions in clear water. Daphnid abundance was much lower in the brown than in the clear enclosure. Surprisingly, however, daphnids continuously kept in brown enclosure water in the laboratory showed increased metabolic performance and survival, and also produced more offspring than daphnids kept in clear enclosure water. This outcome was related to more and higher‐quality seston in brown compared to clear water. Moreover, daphnids transferred from clear to brown water or vice versa adjusted their nucleic acid and protein contents, as indicators of physiological state, to similar levels as individuals previously exposed to the respective recipient environment, indicating immediate and reversible browning effects on metabolic performance. These results demonstrate the importance of conducting experiments in settings that capture both indirect effects (i.e., emerging from species interactions in communities) and direct effects on individuals for assessing impacts of browning and other environmental changes on lakes.

    Description: Urban diffuse pollution affects water resources as much as its rural counterpart does; however, it is considerably less studied. The full complexity of the urban landscape needs to be addressed to apprehend the diversity of surface layouts and covers, multiple pollution sources, and the diverse changes caused by different types of drainage systems. In this article, crucial patterns of pollution source areas are categorized, and current knowledge on their temporal and spatial variations are collated. Urban alterations of transport processes that enhance, delay, or inhibit diffuse pollution transport from source areas through the urban watershed are detailed. Current knowledge regarding diffuse pollution patterns and processes is conceptually merged by the simultaneous assessment of urban structural and functional connectivity relevant for pollutant transfer. Applying a more holistic approach is considered a prerequisite for identifying critical source areas of diffuse pollution within complex urban catchments, to minimize the transfer of particular harmful pollutants and to enhance future management of urban waters. This article is categorized under: Science of Water 〉 Water Quality Engineering Water 〉 Planning Water
    Description: Owing to the on‐going urban expansion accompanied by an anticipated increase of flash floods, diffuse water pollution in cities is likely to increase. The complexity of pollution patterns and their distribution mechanisms in cities are reviewed in the context of urban connectivity of pollution. Explicit handling of urban connectivity may guide the re‐design of urban drainage strategies toward more decentralized and sustainable management approaches of urban water resources.

    Description: Global warming is resulting in unprecedented levels of coral mortality due to mass bleaching events and, more recently, marine heatwaves, where rapid increases in seawater temperature cause mortality within days. Here, we compare the response of a ubiquitous scleractinian coral, Stylophora pistillata, from the northern Red Sea to acute (7 h) and chronic (7–11 d) thermal stress events that include temperature treatments of 27°C (i.e., the local maximum monthly mean), 29.5°C, 32°C, and 34.5°C, and assess recovery of the corals following exposure. Overall, S. pistillata exhibited remarkably similar responses to acute and chronic thermal stress, responding primarily to the temperature treatment rather than duration or heating rate. Additionally, corals displayed an exceptionally high thermal tolerance, maintaining their physiological performance and suffering little to no loss of algal symbionts or chlorophyll a up to 32°C, before the host suffered from rapid tissue necrosis and mortality at 34.5°C. While there was some variability in physiological response metrics, photosynthetic efficiency measurements (i.e., maximum quantum yield Fv/Fm) accurately reflected the overall physiological response patterns, with these measurements used to produce the Fv/Fm effective dose (ED50) metric as a proxy for the thermal tolerance of corals. This approach produced similar ED50 values for the acute and chronic experiments (34.47°C vs. 33.81°C), highlighting the potential for acute thermal assays with measurements of Fv/Fm as a systematic and standardized approach to quantitively compare the upper thermal limits of reef‐building corals using a portable experimental system.

    Description: Understanding groundwater–surface water (GW–SW) interactions is vital for water management in karstic catchments due to its impact on water quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the applicability of seven environmental tracers to quantify and localize groundwater exfiltration into a small, human‐impacted karstic river system. Tracers were selected based on their emission source to the surface water either as (a) dissolved, predominantly geogenic compounds (radon‐222, sulphate and electrical conductivity) or (b) anthropogenic compounds (predominantly) originating from wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents (carbamazepine, tramadol, sodium, chloride). Two contrasting sampling approaches were compared (a) assuming steady‐state flow conditions and (b) considering the travel time of the water parcels (Lagrangian sampling) through the catchment to account for diurnal changes in inflow from the WWTP. Spatial variability of the concentrations of all tracers indicated sections of preferential groundwater inflow. Lagrangian sampling techniques seem highly relevant for capturing dynamic concentration patterns of WWTP‐derived compounds. Quantification of GW inflow with the finite element model FINIFLUX, based on observed in‐stream Rn activities led to plausible fluxes along the investigated river reaches (0.265 m3 s−1), while observations of other natural or anthropogenic environmental tracers produced less plausible water fluxes. Important point sources of groundwater exfiltration can be ascribed to locations where the river crosses geological fault lines. This indicates that commonly applied concepts describing groundwater–surface water interactions assuming diffuse flow in porous media are difficult to transfer to karstic river systems whereas concepts from fractured aquifers may be more applicable. In general, this study helps selecting the best suited hydrological tracer for GW exfiltration and leads to a better understanding of processes controlling groundwater inflow into karstic river systems.
    Description: Karst aquifers represent an increased complexity when aiming to measure the interaction between groundwater and river water. Combining field‐based measurements on catchment scale and modelling, the applicability of ‘classical’ environmental groundwater tracers was compared to selected organic (micro)pollutants often considered as conservative and originally arising from a wastewater treatment plant. This study demonstrates that the choice of an appropriate tracer is crucial when either aiming to quantify groundwater exfiltration into karstic river systems, or indicating hydrological processes, applying (globally) omnipresent pollutants.

    Description: Brackish‐water carbonates are far less studied than their marine or limnic counterparts. However, their association with few, specialized species enables the documentation of fine‐scale changes in the depositional environment. The Cenozoic Mainz Basin (Germany) was only sporadically connected to the North Sea and the Paratethys, exposing several transitions from marine to fresh water influence. Focusing on one outcrop of the Rüssingen Formation of Mainz‐Weisenau (Aquitanian, Miocene), we present a detailed analysis of the faunal and sedimentological responses to changing salinities and water depth, including algal reef growth and facies development. The deposits include allochthonous limestones surrounding an autochthonous reef complex and several smaller reef patches. The allochthonous facies is dominated by the gastropod Hydrobia inflata, and the reef facies is mainly made up by the green alga Cladophorites sp. The algal thalli are overgrown by cryptocrystalline, organic precipitations, and laminated, chemical precipitations. Locally, quiver‐shaped structures of Trichoptera sp. protective cases occur. The depositional setting was a shallow, low energy, and brackish environment supersaturated by carbonate. We could not confirm a general trend of reducing salinities as reported for the Rüssingen Formation. Our results question previously reported episodic desiccation events, because apparent caliche horizons actually represent thin beds of increased Cladophorites growth. Set‐up, distribution of the reef facies, and reef debris indicate short‐time variations of temperature, salinity and water depth. We conclude that these variations are based on the geographic position at the edge of an algal reef barrier, separating the Mainz Basin from the Rhine Rift Valley.
    Description: This study investigates the record of small‐scale changes in the depositional environment of Miocene brackish‐water deposits from the Mainz Basin (Germany) by facies analysis. Set‐up, distribution of the reef facies, and reef debris indicate short‐time variations of temperature, salinity and water depth. The apparent caliche horizons actually represent thin beds of increase Cladophorites growth. The example demonstrates that these brackish deposits are a sensitive recorder of palaeoenvironmental change.

    Description: N‐acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are molecules produced by many Gram‐negative bacteria as mediators of cell‐cell signaling in a mechanism known as quorum sensing (QS). QS is widespread in marine bacteria regulating diverse processes, such as virulence or excretion of polymers that mediate biofilm formation. Associated eukaryotes, such as microalgae, respond to these cues as well, leading to an intricate signaling network. To date, only very few studies attempted to measure AHL concentrations in phototrophic microbial communities, which are hot spots for bacteria‐bacteria as well as microalgae‐bacteria interactions. AHL quantification in environmental samples is challenging and requires a robust and reproducible sampling strategy. However, knowing about AHL concentrations opens up multiple perspectives from answering fundamental ecological questions to deriving guidelines for manipulation and control of biofilms. Here, we present a method for sampling and AHL identification and quantification from marine intertidal sediments. The use of contact cores for sediment sampling ensures reproducible sample surface area and volume at each location. Flash‐freezing of the samples with liquid nitrogen prevents enzymatic AHL degradation between sampling and extraction. After solvent extraction, samples were analyzed with an ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography‐high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC‐HRMS) method that allows to baseline‐separate 16 different AHLs in less than 10 min. The sensitivity of the method is sufficient for detection and quantification of AHLs in environmental samples of less than 16 cm3.

    Description: The general task of image classification seems to be solved due to the development of modern convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, the high intraclass variability and interclass similarity of plankton images still prevents the practical identification of morphologically similar organisms. This prevails especially for rare organisms. Every CNN requires a vast amount of manually validated training images which renders it inefficient to train study‐specific classifiers. In most follow‐up studies, the plankton community is different from before and this data set shift (DSS) reduces the correct classification rates. A common solution is to discard all uncertain images and hope that the remains still resemble the true field situation. The intention of this North Sea Video Plankton Recorder (VPR) study is to assess if a combination of a Capsule Neural Network (CapsNet) with probability filters can improve the classification success in applications with DSS. Second, to provide a guideline how to customize automated CNN and CapsNet deep learning image analysis methods according to specific research objectives. In community analyses, our approach achieved a discard of uncertain predictions of only 5%. CapsNet and CNN reach similar precision scores, but the CapsNet has lower recall scores despite similar discard ratios. This is due to a higher discard ratio in rare classes. The recall advantage of the CNN decreases with increasing DSS. We present an alternative method to handle rare classes with a CNN achieving a mean recall of 96% by manually validating an average of 6.5% of the original images.

    Description: Mercury accumulation in lake sediments is a widespread environmental problem due to the biomagnification of Hg in the aquatic food chain. Soil Hg concentrations, catchment vegetation, erosion, and lake productivity are major factors controlling the accumulation of Hg in lakes. However, their influence on the Hg mass balance in lakes with different catchment characteristics and trophic state is poorly understood. In this multilake study, we decipher the effects of catchment vegetation (coniferous vs. deciduous forest), soil Hg content, and trophic state on Hg sedimentation at six lakes in Germany. We investigated Hg concentrations in leaves, soils, and the lake's water phase. Soils under coniferous stands show slightly higher Hg concentrations than under deciduous forest. Hg concentrations in the water phase were higher in the oligotrophic brown water lakes (8.1 ± 5.6 ng L−1 vs. 3.0 ± 1.9 ng L−1). Lower Hg concentrations in sediment trap material indicate dilution by algae organic matter in the mesotrophic lakes (0.12–0.17 μg g−1 vs. 0.57–0.89 μg g−1). However, Hg accumulation rates in sediment traps were up to 14‐fold higher in the mesotrophic lakes (113–443 μg m−2 yr−1) than in the brown water lakes (32–144 μg m−2 yr−1), which could not be explained by higher Hg fluxes to the productive lakes. Hg mass balance calculation reveals that water phase Hg scavenging by algae is the major reason for the intense Hg export to the sediments of productive lakes which makes them significantly larger sedimentary sinks than oligotrophic brown water lakes.

    Description: The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in surface seawater is an important biogeochemical variable because, together with the pCO2 in the atmosphere, it determines the direction of air–sea carbon dioxide exchange. Large‐scale observations of pCO2 are facilitated by Ships‐of‐Opportunity (SOOP‐CO2) equipped with underway measuring instruments. The need for expanding the observation capacity and the challenges involving the sustainability and maintenance of traditional equilibrator systems led the community toward developing simpler and more autonomous systems. Here we performed a comparison between a membrane‐based sensor and a showerhead equilibration sensor installed on two SOOP‐CO2 between 2013 and 2018. We identified time‐ and space‐adequate crossovers in the Skagerrak Strait, where the two ship routes often crossed. We found a mean total difference of 1.5 ± 10.6 μatm and a root mean square error of 11 μatm. The pCO2 values recorded by the two instruments showed a strong linear correlation with a coefficient of 0.91 and a slope of 1.07 (± 0.14), despite the dynamic nature of the environment and the difficulty of comparing measurements from two different vessels. The membrane‐based sensor was integrated with a FerryBox system on a ship with a high sampling frequency in the study area. We showed the strength of having a sensor‐based network with a high spatial coverage that can be validated against conventional SOOP‐CO2 methods. Proving the validity of membrane‐based sensors in coastal and continental shelf seas and using the higher frequency measurements they provide can enable a thorough characterization of pCO2 variability in these dynamic environments.

    Description: Understanding the hydrologic connectivity between kettle holes and shallow groundwater, particularly in reaction to the highly variable local meteorological conditions, is of paramount importance for tracing water in a hydro(geo)logically complex landscape and thus for integrated water resource management. This article is aimed at identifying the dominant hydrological processes affecting the kettle holes' water balance and their interactions with the shallow groundwater domain in the Uckermark region, located in the north‐east of Germany. For this reason, based on the stable isotopes of oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δ2H), an isotopic mass balance model was employed to compute the evaporative loss of water from the kettle holes from February to August 2017. Results demonstrated that shallow groundwater inflow may play the pivotal role in the processes taking part in the hydrology of the kettle holes in the Uckermark region. Based on the calculated evaporation/inflow (E/I) ratios, most of the kettle holes (86.7%) were ascertained to have a partially open, flow‐through‐dominated system. Moreover, we identified an inverse correlation between E/I ratios and the altitudes of the kettle holes. The same holds for electrical conductivity (EC) and the altitudes of the kettle holes. In accordance with the findings obtained from this study, a conceptual model explaining the interaction between the shallow groundwater and the kettle holes of Uckermark was developed. The model exhibited that across the highest altitudes, the recharge kettle holes are dominant, where a lower ratio of E/I and a lower EC was detected. By contrast, the lowest topographical depressions represent the discharge kettle holes, where a higher ratio of E/I and EC could be identified. The kettle holes existing in between were categorized as flow‐through kettle holes through which the recharge takes place from one side and discharge from the other side.
    Description: The prevailing hydrological processes influencing the kettle holes in the Uckermark region in the north‐east of Germany were investigated using the stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen. The possible contribution of the groundwater inflow into the kettle holes was characterized via evaporation/inflow (E/I) ratios. A conceptual model portraying hydrologic connectivity between different types of kettle holes and in relation their adjacent shallow groundwater domain was provided. image

    Description: Riparian zones are highly‐dynamic transition zones between surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) and function as key biogeochemical‐reactors for solutes transitioning between both compartments. Infiltration of SW rich in dissolved oxygen (DO) into the riparian aquifer can supress removal processes of redox sensitive compounds like NO3−, a nutrient harmful for the aquatic ecosystem at high concentrations. Seasonal and short‐term variations of temperature and hydrologic conditions can influence biogeochemical reaction rates and thus the prevailing redox conditions in the riparian zone. We combined GW tracer‐tests and a 1‐year high‐frequency dataset of DO with data‐driven simulations of DO consumption to assess the effects of seasonal and event‐scale variations in temperature and transit‐times on the reactive transport of DO. Damköhler numbers for DO consumption (DADO) were used to characterize the system in terms of DO turnover potential. Our results suggest that seasonal and short‐term variations in temperature are major controls for DO turnover and the resulting concentrations at our field site, while transit‐times are of minor importance. Seasonal variations of temperature in GW lead to shifts from transport‐limited (DADO 〉 1) to reaction‐limited conditions (DADO 〈 1), while short‐term events were found to have minor impacts on the state of the system, only resulting in slightly less transport‐limited conditions due to decreasing temperature and transit‐times. The data‐driven analyses show that assuming constant water temperature along a flowpath can lead to an over‐ or underestimation of reaction rates by a factor of 2–3 due to different infiltrating water temperature at the SW–GW interface, whereas the assumption of constant transit‐times results in incorrect estimates of NO3− removal potential based on DADO approach (40%–50% difference).

    Description: New LA–ICP–MS U–Pb zircon ages from the Nyong Complex of southwestern Cameroon—a part of the West Central African Fold Belt—trace Late Mesoarchean (∼2,850 Ma), Middle Palaeoproterozoic (∼2,080 Ma), and Neoproterozoic (∼605 Ma) events: Two meta‐syenites and the protolith of an amphibolite are Late Mesoarchean; two meta‐granodiorites are Middle Palaeoproterozoic; the amphibolite may have recrystallized in the Middle Palaeoproterozoic; all rocks are overprinted by the Neoproterozoic event. Integration with published data shows that our amphibolite sample has one of the oldest amphibolite‐protolith ages (∼2,810 Ma) reported so far. It shares the Middle Palaeoproterozoic metamorphism/recrystallization with other, previously dated amphibolites. An earlier reported metamorphic zircon age (∼2,090 Ma) from eclogite is somewhat older than the regional Middle Palaeoproterozoic metamorphism/recrystallization ages (∼2,040 Ma) reported from amphibolites. Thus, the eclogite–amphibolite ages may date an exhumation process. A published charnockite age, interpreted as an Early Mesoarchean crystallization age, is older than the Late Mesoarchean meta‐syenite and amphibolite‐protolith dates; its Middle Palaeoproterozoic metamorphism/recrystallization age, however, is identical with the meta‐granodiorites and amphibolites. The Neoproterozoic ages demonstrate the regional overprint of the Nyong Complex during this period. Integration of the Nyong Complex ages with published ones from the entire West Central African Fold Belt, and comparison with those from West Africa and South America, support their common origin from the Palaeoproterozoic collision between the Archean Congo and São Francisco shields.

    Description: A growing body of research stresses the importance of religion in understanding and addressing climate change. However, so far, little is known about the relationship between Muslim communities and climate change. Globally, Muslims constitute the second largest faith group, and there is a strong concentration of Muslims in regions that are particularly affected by global warming. This review synthesizes existing research about climate change and Muslim communities. It addresses (a) Islamic environmentalism, (b) Muslim perceptions of climate change, and (c) mitigation strategies of Muslim communities. The analysis shows that there is no uniform interpretation of climate change among Muslims. Based on their interpretations of Islam, Muslims have generated different approaches to climate change. A small section of Muslim environmentalists engages in public campaigning to raise greater concern about climate change, seeks to reduce carbon emissions through sociotechnological transition efforts, and disseminates proenvironmental interpretations of Islam. However, it remains unclear to what extent these activities generate broader changes in the daily activities of Muslim communities and organizations. Contributions to this research field are often theoretical and stress theological and normative aspects of Islam. Empirical studies have particularly addressed Indonesia and the United Kingdom, whereas knowledge about Muslim climate activism in other world regions is fragmented. Against this backdrop, there is a need for comparative studies that consider regional and religious differences among Muslims and address the role of Muslim environmentalism in climate change mitigation and adaptation at the international, national, and local scales.

    Description: The sulfur cycle is an important, although understudied facet of today's modern oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). Sulfur cycling is most active in highly productive coastal OMZs where sulfide‐rich sediments interact with the overlying water column, forming a tightly coupled benthic‐pelagic sulfur cycle. In such productive coastal systems, highly eutrophic and anoxic conditions can result in the benthic release of sulfide leading to an intensification of OMZ‐shelf biogeochemistry. Active blooms involving a succession of sulfide‐oxidizing bacteria detoxify sulfide and reduce nitrate to N2, while generating nitrite and ammonium that augment anammox and nitrification. Furthermore, the abiotic interactions of sulfide with trace metals may have the potential to moderate nitrous oxide emissions. While sulfide/sulfur accumulation events were previously considered to be rare, new evidence indicates that events can develop in OMZ shelf waters over prolonged periods of anoxia. The prevalence of these events has ramifications for nitrogen loss and greenhouse gas emissions, including other linked cycles involving carbon and phosphorous. Sulfur‐based metabolisms and activity also extend into the offshore OMZ as a result of particle microniches and lateral transport processes. Moreover, OMZ waters ubiquitously host a community of organosulfur‐based heterotrophs that ostensibly moderate the turnover of organic sulfur, offering an exciting avenue for future research. Our synthesis highlights the widespread distribution and multifaceted nature of the sulfur cycle in oceanic OMZs.

    Description: Predictions of floods, droughts, and fast drought‐flood transitions are required at different time scales to develop management strategies targeted at minimizing negative societal and economic impacts. Forecasts at daily and seasonal scale are vital for early warning, estimation of event frequency for hydraulic design, and long‐term projections for developing adaptation strategies to future conditions. All three types of predictions—forecasts, frequency estimates, and projections—typically treat droughts and floods independently, even though both types of extremes can be studied using related approaches and have similar challenges. In this review, we (a) identify challenges common to drought and flood prediction and their joint assessment and (b) discuss tractable approaches to tackle these challenges. We group challenges related to flood and drought prediction into four interrelated categories: data, process understanding, modeling and prediction, and human–water interactions. Data‐related challenges include data availability and event definition. Process‐related challenges include the multivariate and spatial characteristics of extremes, non‐stationarities, and future changes in extremes. Modeling challenges arise in frequency analysis, stochastic, hydrological, earth system, and hydraulic modeling. Challenges with respect to human–water interactions lie in establishing links to impacts, representing human–water interactions, and science communication. We discuss potential ways of tackling these challenges including exploiting new data sources, studying droughts and floods in a joint framework, studying societal influences and compounding drivers, developing continuous stochastic models or non‐stationary models, and obtaining stakeholder feedback. Tackling one or several of these challenges will improve flood and drought predictions and help to minimize the negative impacts of extreme events.

    Description: Information on water balance components such as evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge are crucial for water management. Due to differences in physical conditions, but also due to limited budgets, there is not one universal best practice, but a wide range of different methods with specific advantages and disadvantages. In this study, we propose an approach to quantify actual evapotranspiration, groundwater recharge and water inflow, i.e. precipitation and irrigation, that considers the specific conditions of irrigated agriculture in warm, arid environments. This approach does not require direct measurements of precipitation or irrigation quantities and is therefore suitable for sites with an uncertain data basis. For this purpose, we combine soil moisture and energy balance monitoring, remote sensing data analysis and numerical modelling using Hydrus. Energy balance data and routine weather data serve to estimate ET0. Surface reflectance data from satellite images (Sentinel‐2) are used to derive leaf area indices, which help to partition ET0 into energy limited evaporation and transpiration. Subsequently, first approximations of water inflow are derived based on observed soil moisture changes. These inflow estimates are used in a series of forward simulations that produce initial estimates of drainage and ETact, which in turn help improve the estimate of water inflow. Finally, the improved inflow estimates are incorporated into the model and then a parameter optimization is performed using the observed soil moisture as the reference figure. Forward simulations with calibrated soil parameters result in final estimates for ETact and groundwater recharge. The presented method is applied to an agricultural test site with a crop rotation of cotton and wheat in Punjab, Pakistan. The final model results, with an RMSE of 2.2% in volumetric water content, suggest a cumulative ETact and groundwater recharge of 769 and 297 mm over a period of 281 days, respectively. The total estimated water inflow accounts for 946 mm, of which 77% originates from irrigation.
    Description: Approach to quantify ETact, GWR and water inflow that considers the specific conditions of irrigated agriculture in warm, acid environments. It combines soil moisture and energy balance monitoring, remote sensing data analysing data analysis and numerical modelling using Hydrus. The final model results suggest that GWR accounts for one third of the total water inflow, of which 77% originates from irrigations. image

    Description: The precise determination of radium‐226 (226Ra) in environmental samples is challenging due to its low concentration. Seawater typically contains between 0.03 and 0.1 fg g−1 226Ra. Thus, this work addresses the need for an easy and precise methodology for 226Ra determination in seawater that may be applied routinely to a large number of samples. For this reason, a new analytical approach has been developed for the quantification of 226Ra in seawater via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS). Analysis by single collector sector‐field ICP‐MS was shown to be convenient and reliable for this purpose once potential molecular interferences were excluded by a combination of chemical separation and intermediate mass resolution analysis. The proposed method allows purification of Ra from the sample matrix based on preconcentration by MnO2 precipitation, followed by two‐column separation using a cation exchange resin and an extraction chromatographic resin. The method can be applied to acidified and unacidified seawater samples. The recovery efficiency for Ra ranged between 90% and 99.8%, with precision of 5%, accuracy of 95.7% to 99.9%, and a detection limit of 0.033 fg g−1 (referring to the original concentration of seawater). The method has been applied to measure 226Ra concentrations from the North Sea and validated by analyzing samples from the central Arctic (GEOTRACES GN04). Samples from a crossover station (from GEOTRACES GN04 and GEOTRACES GN01 research cruises) were analyzed using alternative methods, and our results are in good agreement with published values.

    Description: Recent policy changes highlight the need for citizens to take adaptive actions to reduce flood‐related impacts. Here, we argue that these changes represent a wider behavioral turn in flood risk management (FRM). The behavioral turn is based on three fundamental assumptions: first, that the motivations of citizens to take adaptive actions can be well understood so that these motivations can be targeted in the practice of FRM; second, that private adaptive measures and actions are effective in reducing flood risk; and third, that individuals have the capacities to implement such measures. We assess the extent to which the assumptions can be supported by empirical evidence. We do this by engaging with three intellectual catchments. We turn to research by psychologists and other behavioral scientists which focus on the sociopsychological factors which influence individual motivations (Assumption 1). We engage with economists, engineers, and quantitative risk analysts who explore the extent to which individuals can reduce flood related impacts by quantifying the effectiveness and efficiency of household‐level adaptive measures (Assumption 2). We converse with human geographers and sociologists who explore the types of capacities households require to adapt to and cope with threatening events (Assumption 3). We believe that an investigation of the behavioral turn is important because if the outlined assumptions do not hold, there is a risk of creating and strengthening inequalities in FRM. Therefore, we outline the current intellectual and empirical knowledge as well as future research needs. Generally, we argue that more collaboration across intellectual catchments is needed, that future research should be more theoretically grounded and become methodologically more rigorous and at the same time focus more explicitly on the normative underpinnings of the behavioral turn.

    Description: A variety of proxies have been developed to reconstruct paleo‐CO2 from fossil leaves. These proxies rely on some combination of stomatal morphology, leaf δ13C, and leaf gas exchange. A common conceptual framework for evaluating these proxies is lacking, which has hampered efforts for inter‐comparison. Here we develop such a framework, based on the underlying physics and biochemistry. From this conceptual framework, we find that the more extensively parameterised proxies, such as the optimisation model, are likely to be the most robust. The simpler proxies, such as the stomatal ratio model, tend to under‐predict CO2, especially in warm (〉15°C) and moist (〉50% humidity) environments. This identification of a structural under‐prediction may help to explain the common observation that the simpler proxies often produce estimates of paleo‐CO2 that are lower than those from the more complex proxies and other, non‐leaf‐based CO2 proxies. The use of extensively parameterised models is not always possible, depending on the preservation state of the fossils and the state of knowledge about the fossil's nearest living relative. With this caveat in mind, our analysis highlights the value of using the most complex leaf‐based model as possible.

    Description: The ocean contains a large reservoir of dissolved organic matter (DOM) that persists for millennia. Both the very dilute concentrations of individual DOM molecules and intrinsic recalcitrance to microbial decay imparted by molecular structure are suggested mechanisms for this long residence time. Here, we report an experiment comparing the responses of surface and deep prokaryotes to DOM isolated and enriched by solid‐phase extraction from surface and deep waters of the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean. Extracts from both depths were qualitatively characterized as biologically recalcitrant given their similarly high C : N ratios of 26. Surface prokaryotes measurably drew down extracted dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, but the drawdown was only 4% of the initial enriched DOC concentration regardless of enrichment level or depth. Deep microbes, in contrast, did not cause observable changes in DOC concentrations. Surface and deep prokaryotes had similar temperature‐normalized growth responses to extracts from each depth. Biological indicators (e.g., kinetics) suggest that prokaryotes were less efficient at catalyzing surface than deep DOM (catalytic efficiencies of 0.003–0.005 vs. 0.02–0.03 h−1, respectively). These values indicate qualitative differences in extracted DOM from the two depths, perhaps suggesting a variable nature of the refractory DOC depending on depth. Moreover, only a small portion of the extracted DOM was biologically utilizable, regardless of concentration factor or depth, and essentially only a small fraction of it was incorporated into biomass. Microbial selection against substrates that meet modest energy but no growth demands may be a factor contributing to the long‐term stability of marine DOM.

    Description: Hydrological models used for flood prediction in ungauged catchments are commonly fitted to regionally transferred data. The key issue of this procedure is to identify hydrologically similar catchments. Therefore, the dominant controls for the process of interest have to be known. In this study, we applied a new machine learning based approach to identify the catchment characteristics that can be used to identify the active processes controlling runoff dynamics. A random forest (RF) regressor has been trained to estimate the drainage velocity parameters of a geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) in ungauged catchments, based on regionally available data. We analyzed the learning procedure of the algorithm and identified preferred donor catchments for each ungauged catchment. Based on the obtained machine learning results from catchment grouping, a classification scheme for drainage network characteristics has been derived. This classification scheme has been applied in a flood forecasting case study. The results demonstrate that the RF could be trained properly with the selected donor catchments to successfully estimate the required GIUH parameters. Moreover, our results showed that drainage network characteristics can be used to identify the influence of geomorphological dispersion on the dynamics of catchment response.

    Description: It is well accepted that summer precipitation can be altered by soil moisture condition. Coupled land surface – atmospheric models have been routinely used to quantify soil moisture – precipitation feedback processes. However, most of the land surface models (LSMs) assume a vertical soil water transport and neglect lateral terrestrial water flow at the surface and in the subsurface, which potentially reduces the realism of the simulated soil moisture – precipitation feedback. In this study, the contribution of lateral terrestrial water flow to summer precipitation is assessed in two different climatic regions, Europe and West Africa, for the period June–September 2008. A version of the coupled atmospheric‐hydrological model WRF‐Hydro with an option to tag and trace land surface evaporation in the modelled atmosphere, named WRF‐Hydro‐tag, is employed. An ensemble of 30 simulations with terrestrial routing and 30 simulations without terrestrial routing is generated with random realizations of turbulent energy with the stochastic kinetic energy backscatter scheme, for both Europe and West Africa. The ensemble size allows to extract random noise from continental‐scale averaged modelled precipitation. It is found that lateral terrestrial water flow increases the relative contribution of land surface evaporation to precipitation by 3.6% in Europe and 5.6% in West Africa, which enhances a positive soil moisture – precipitation feedback and generates more uncertainty in modelled precipitation, as diagnosed by a slight increase in normalized ensemble spread. This study demonstrates the small but non‐negligible contribution of lateral terrestrial water flow to precipitation at continental scale.
    Description: Ensembles of coupled atmospheric ‐ hydrological simulations are presented for a summer season in Europe and West Africa. The model is enhanced with a water tagging procedure to evaluate the fate of land surface evaporation. The figure shows the change in continental precipitation recycling, that is the fraction of precipitation originating from land surface evaporation, induced by the consideration of lateral terrestrial water flow in the coupled simulations.

    Description: Dinitrogen (N2) fixation is a major source of bioavailable nitrogen to oligotrophic ocean communities. Yet, we have limited understanding how ongoing climate change could alter N2 fixation. Most of our understanding is based on short‐term laboratory experiments conducted on individual N2‐fixing species whereas community‐level approaches are rare. In this longer‐term in situ mesocosm study, we aimed to improve our understanding on the role of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and simulated deep water upwelling on N2 and carbon (C) fixation rates in a natural oligotrophic plankton community. We deployed nine mesocosms in the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean and enriched seven of these with CO2 to yield a range of treatments (partial pressure of CO2, pCO2 = 352–1025 μatm). We measured rates of N2 and C fixation in both light and dark incubations over the 55‐day study period. High pCO2 negatively impacted light and dark N2 fixation rates in the oligotrophic phase before simulated upwelling, while the effect reversed in the light N2 fixation rates in the bloom decay phase after added nutrients were consumed. Dust deposition and simulated upwelling of nutrient‐rich deep water increased N2 fixation rates and nifH gene abundances of selected clades including the unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacterium clade UCYN‐B. Elevated pCO2 increased C fixation rates in the decay phase. We conclude that elevated pCO2 and pulses of upwelling have pronounced effects on diazotrophy and primary producers, and upwelling and dust deposition modify the pCO2 effect in natural assemblages.

    Description: Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt die Kalkdinoflagellaten-Floren aus dem Alb der Forschungsbohrung Kirchrode II (Niedersächsisches Becken). Im Vordergrund stand die Frage nach der bisher wenig bekannten Ökologie dieser Phytoplankton-Gruppe zur Zeit ihrer maximalen Blüte. Dazu wurden die Zysten-Vergesellschaftungen qualitativ und halb-quantitativ untersucht und Diversitätsanalysen durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit lithologischen und paläontologischen Daten der an der Untersuchung des Bohrkerns beteiligten Arbeitsgruppen verglichen. Es konnten 37 Morphospezies kalkiger Dinoflagellaten-Zysten nachgewiesen werden. Gemeinsam mit den Morphospezies des Profils Kirchrode I erhöht sich damit die Gesamtzahl der im Alb des Niedersächsischen Beckens nachgewiesenen Taxa auf 45. Das weltweit früheste Auftreten der Unterordnung Pithonelloideae konnte für das frühe Mittel-Alb (Hoplites dentatus-Zone) belegt werden. Außerdem konnte erstmals die Verbreitung der Fuettererelloideae für die Unterkreide sicher dokumentiert werden. Aufgrund unterschiedlicher ökologischer Umweltansprüche konnten 4 typische Kalkdinoflagellaten-Gesellschaften unterschieden werden. Die Zusammensetzung der Zystenvergesellschaftungen wird in erster Linie von Nährstoffreichtum, Salinität und Temperatur des Oberflächenwassers kontrolliert. Gemeinsam mit den neu interpretierten Kalkdinoflagellaten-Vergesellschaftungen des Profils Kirchrode I (KEUPP 1995) reflektieren die Vergesellschaftungen für das Unter- und Mittel-Alb einen Meeresspiegelanstieg bei gleichzeitiger Nährstoffverarmung und Erwärmung. Für das Ober-Alb kann ein Meeresspiegelhöchststand (maximale Pelagizität) und anschließende rasche Regression postuliert werden. Daten anderer Fossilgruppen (Coccolithophoriden, Foraminiferen, Radiolarien) untermauern diese Interpretation. Die Palökologie der Unterkretazischen Orthopithonelloideae wird neu interpretiert. In der späten Unterkreide sind sie nicht, wie bisher angenommen, pelagisch, sondern im Gegenteil an trophische, neritische und vermutlich auch kühlere Oberflächenwasser-Bedingungen gebunden. Innerhalb der grobkristallinen Vertreter der Pirumella loeblichi-Gruppe nimmt P. loeblichi aufgrund abweichender ökologischer Ansprüche (Präferenz für stagnierende und nährstoffreichere Beckenbedingungen) eine Sonderstellung ein. Es konnten 6 Migrationsereignisse tethyaler Zysten nachgewiesen werden, die vermutlich transgressive Impulse widerspiegeln. Die auf diese Fossilgruppe erstmals angewendeten Methoden der Diversitäts- und Häufigkeitsanalysen haben sich als geeignet erwiesen, Wechselwirkungen zwischen fossilen Kalkdinoflagellatenzysten und ihrer Umwelt aufzuzeigen.
    Description: Subject of this study are the calcareous dinoflagellates cysts of the drilling core Kirchrode II (Albian, central Lower Saxony Basin, Northwest Germany). The purpose of this investigation is to give answers to the question of the poorly understood palaeoecology of this important phytopankton group at the time of its maximum radiation. Cyst assemblages were examined qualitatively and semi-quantitatively. Diversity analyses of the cyst assemblages were carried out as well. The results were compared with other lithological and palaeontological data of the drilling core. 37 morphotaxa were identified. Together with the morphospecies recorded from the uppermost Upper Albian of the drilling core Kirchrode I (KEUPP 1995), the number of documented taxa in the Albian of the Lower Saxonian Basin increases to 45 taxa. The first appearance date of the suborder Pithonelloidae is recognised in the lower Middle-Albian (Hoplites dentatus-zone). Moreover, the distribution of the Fuettererelloideae in the Lower Cretaceous is documented for the first time. The taxonomic compositions of the cyst assemblages change through time. Due to their different ecological preferences, 4 typical cysts-assemblages were recognised. The composition of the assemblages was controlled chiefly by nutrient availability, salinity and temperature of the surface water-masses. Together with the re-examined cyst-assemblages of the drilling-core Kirchrode I, the assemblages reflect a sea level rise during the Early and Middle Albian, together with simultaneous warming and nutrient decrease. A postulated sea level highstand (maximum pelagicity) in the Late Albian is followed by a rapid regression in the upper dispar-zone. Data from other plankton groups (coccolithophorids, foraminiferes and radiolarians) support this interpretation. The palaeoecology of the Early Cretaceous Orthopithonelloideae is newly interpreted. They were not, as supposed until now, components of the pelagic realm. On the contrary, their distribution reflects neritic, nutrient-rich and probably cool surface-water masses. Within the Obliquipithonelloids with coarse-crystalline body walls, Pirumella loeblichi holds an exceptional position with respect to its deviating ecology (preference for stagnant and nutrient-rich basin conditions). 6 distinct migration-events of cysts with tethyal origin were recognised. These events are probably related to transgressive pulses. The methods of community and diversity analyses, used for the first time for this little known phytoplankton group, are a powerful tool for the analyses of paleoecological distribution patterns of the group and can be used for paleooceanic basin interpretation.

    Description: Den eigentlichen Anwendungen geophysikalischer Modelliertechniken und Bearbeitungsmethoden geht im Verlauf dieser Arbeit eine umfassende Evaluierung und Kompilierung einer Flächendeckenden Datenbasis zwischen 20° und 26°S sowie 62° und 74°W aus gravimetrischen Daten voran. Untersuchungen des Magnetfeldes beschränken sich auf den Bereich der Nazca-Platte. Dabei werden alle verfügbaren Datensätze einbezogen, wozu neben Satelliten-altimetrisch gewonnenen Schweredaten auch Datensätze südamerikanischer Partner-Institutionen gehören. Ziel dieser Vorarbeiten ist die Erstellung eines homogenen nach Qualitätsmerkmalen unterschiedenen Schweredatensatzes, welcher den ozeanischen und den kontinentalen Bereich des Meßgebietes zwischen 20° und 26°S des Arbeitsgebietes beinhaltet. Im folgenden dient die gravimetrische und magnetische Datenbasis als Vergleichsdatensatz für die Modellierung von Dichteinhomogenitäten und Magnetisierungskontrasten. Randbedingungen aus anderen geowissenschaftlichen Teilbereichen wie der Seismik (grenzt die Geometrie- und Dichtevariationen ein), der Petrologie (Phasenübergänge, Gesteinsmetamorphosen) und Geologie (Strukturelle Grenzen) dienen der maximalen Einschränkung von Dichtedomänen und magnetisierten Bereichen. Das lokale 3D-Modell des Kontinentalrandes mit angrenzender Nazca-Platte erklärt die im Magnet-und Schwerefeld beobachteten Anomalien und zeigt die besondere Bedeutung der subduzierten Lithosphäre der Nazca-Platte auf. Neben dieser statischen Modellierung werden im Schwerefeld enthaltene Informationen über die Rigidität der aneinander grenzenden ozeanischen und kontinentalen Lithosphärenplatten extrahiert. Mit einem 3D-Kohärenzverfahren, welches erstmalig in den Zentralen Anden angewendet wird, werden Bereiche mit unterschiedlicher Festigkeit abgegrenzt. Durch die Einbeziehung von ’’Surface- und Subsurface Load” wird die hochauflösende Kohärenz-Analyse verbessert, gegenüber 2D- Verfahren ohne Berücksichtigung von ’’Subsurface Loads”. Eine Vergleichsstudie der Rigiditätsverteilung mit ähnlich regionalen Charakteristika der Lithosphärenplatten, wie etwa dem geothermischen Gradienten führt zu vergleichbaren Aussagen und bestätigt den großen Einfluß der subduzierten Nazca-Platte auf das gesamte aktive System in Bezug auf das Schwerefeld, das Thermische- und das Spannungsregime. Bereiche mit hohem Oberflächen-Wärmefluß korrelieren mit geringer Rigidität. Demzufolge finden sich die höchsten Rigiditätswerte im Forearc und östlichen Backarc und die niedrigsten in der Westkordillere. Schließlich wird auf der Basis der Analyse isostatischer Restfelder mit und ohne Berücksichtigung des Schweresignals der Nazca-Platte, der isostatische Zustand der kontinentalen Lithosphäre untersucht. Dabei werden zusätzlich, neben Modellgeometrien, Dichten und Rigiditäten auch geotektonische Regionen unterschieden. Isostatische Unterkompensation wird demnach in der Küstenkordillere und der Ostkordillere beobachtet. Der Bereich des Hochplateaus der Zentralen Anden befindet sich in isostatischem Gleichgewicht.
    Description: The actual application of geophysical modelling and processing techniques in this thesis is preceded by a comprehensive evaluation and compilation of a Database covering the area from 20° and 26°S to 62° and 74°W with gravimetric and magnetic data. Research of the magnetic field is constrained to the Nazca-Plate oceanic area. In addition to altimétrie satellite gravity data all other available gravity data has been included in the database, e.g. datasets provided by our south american partner institutions. The aim of these preparatory works is the preparation of a uniform dataset which distinguishes data according to quality features. In further progress, this gravimetric and magnetic database is utilized to compare the Signals caused by density inhomogeneities and magnetization contrasts to measured data. Boundary conditions from other geophysical disciplines like seismics (restricting geometry and density variations), petrology (Phasetransitions, Metamorphic reactions) and geology (structural boundaries) lead to a maximum limitation of density and magnetic domains. The local 3D-model of the continent-ocean transition zone with the boundaring Nazca-plate explains the observed anomalies and highlights the particular meaning of the subducting Nazca-plate. Beside this static modelling information about the rigidity of the contacting oceanic and continental lithospheres which is contained in the gravity field is extracted. The utilization of a new 3D-coherence method, which is applied for the first time in the central Andes, enables to divide regions of different rigidity. The incorporation of surface and subsurface loads implies a higher spacial resolution in opposition to 2D-methods not regarding subsurface loads. A comparative study of the distribution of rigidity and similar more regional parameters controlling the rigidity of the lithosphere leads to compareable results and confirms the importance of the subducting Nazca-plate on the active system, in terms of the gravity field, the geothermal- and stress regime. Regions characterized by high surface heatflow correspond to low rigidity. The highest values for flexural rigidity are to be found in the forarc and eastern backarc, the lowest in the active volcanic front, the western cordillera. Finally an analysis of isostatic residual fields, again taking into account the gravity signal of the subducting Nazca-plate reveals different isostatic conditions for different parts of the surveyed continental lithosphere. Apart from model geometries, densities and rigidities geotectonic regions are distinguished. Isostatic undercompensation is observed in the coastal and eastern cordillera; whereas the andean plateaus in the central Andes can be considered as isostatically compensated.

    Description: Eine für die Zentralanden erstellte geowissenschaftliche Datenbank erfaßt die umfangreichen Forschungsergebnisse des SFB 267 wie auch externe Datensätze in Form eines zentral verwalteten Dateisystems. Ein Datenkatalog, welcher seit Mitte 1996 auch im World Wide Web (WWW, URL: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~data) verfügbar ist, bietet einen Überblick über die aktuelle Datenbasis und erleichtert den allgemeinen Zugriff auf die einzelnen Datensätze. Vorgestellt werden ferner verschiedene Methoden zur Analyse raumbezogener Daten aus Bereichen der Statistik (streifen-gemittelte Topographieprofile, Standardabweichung, Korrelationen, Fraktale) , Bildverarbeitung (direktionale Richtungsfilter) , Geomorphometrie (Neigung und Vertikalwölbung) und Numerik (Horizontalgradienten, FFT). Die Anwendung dieser Verfahren bezüglich einer regionalen Strukturierung wird am Beispiel der für die Zentralanden flächendeckend vorliegenden Topographie und Schwerefelder getestet und mit den aus langjährigen Untersuchungen in den Anden zur Verfügung stehenden Forschungsergebnissen verglichen. Endogene und exogene Prozesse spiegeln sich in den topographischen Erscheinungsformen wider. Insbesondere mit Hilfe der geomorphometrischen Analyse und der FFT-Filterung lassen sich für die morphostrukturellen Einheiten typische Merkmale sehr gut herausarbeiten. Auch mit einer einfachen Statistik (streifen-gemittelte Topographieprofile, Berechnung von Minimum, Mittelwert, Maximum und Standardabweichung einzelner Untersuchungsgebiete) können für die ausgewählten Gebiete charakteristische Unterschiede ermittelt werden. Im Hinblick auf die Topographie unterscheidet sich bei allen Untersuchungsmethoden am Westrand der Zentralanden der hyperaride Norden im Bereich der Atacama Wüste deutlich vom weniger trockenen Süden. Studien zur fraktalen Geometrie der Geländeoberfläche zeigen, daß sich die andine Topographie skaleninvariant verhält und tektonische wie klimatische Einflüsse sich in der geometrischen Variation der Geländeoberfläche widerspiegeln. Morphologisch zergliederte Zonen, wie das durch starke Verkürzungen gekennzeichnete Subandin oder der Südwestrand der Zentralanden, weisen im Vergleich zur fraktalen Dimension des Gesamtgebietes eine höhere fraktale Dimension auf, während das hyperaride Gebiet im Bereich der Atacama Wüste durch einen vergleichsweise niedrigen Wert gekennzeichnet ist. Mit der direktionalen Lineamentverstärkung, z.T. aber auch mit anderen Methoden wie etwa der Darstellung der Neigungsrichtung, werden die wichtigsten Störungszonen (z.B. das Atacama- oder das Präkordilleren-Störungssystem) weitestgehend erfaßt. Auf dem Pazifik bilden sich - sowohl bei der geomorphometrischen Untersuchung wie auch bei der Lineamenterkennung - entlang der Peru-Chile-Tiefseerinne die im CINCA Experiment beobachteten morphologisch-tektonischen Charakteristika (Reichert et al., 1997), wie z.B. die Blocktektonik innerhalb einer ca. 50 km breiten, westlich der Tiefseerinne verlaufenden Zone, ab. Gravimetrische Lineamente, die aus den maximalen Horizontalgradienten im Schwerefeld abgeleitet werden, weisen auf abrupte, laterale Dichteänderungen hin, sind jedoch in den Zentralanden nur in Einzelfällen mit den an der Oberfläche anstehenden lithologischen Einheiten oder Störungszonen korrelierbar. Die zweidimensionale Korrelation im moving window Verfahren hat sich als nützliches Instrument zur Analyse von sich gegenseitig beeinflussenden, raumverteilten Datensätzen erwiesen. Die Wahl der Fenstergröße erlaubt, zwischen einer regionalen und einer eher lokalen Analyse zu differenzieren; mit Hilfe einer geeigneten Visualisierung lassen sich die Beziehungen zwischen den Variablen schnell erfassen. Die räumlich differenzierte, quantitative Analyse der Korrelation zwischen Schwerefeld und Topographie in den Zentralanden zeigt, daß nicht nur die Bouguer-Anomalie sondern auch das isostatische Restfeld stark negativ mit der Geländehöhe korreliert.
    Description: A geoscientific database was established for the area of the Central Andes, which includes information about past and current research conducted within the frame of the ’SFB 267 - Deformation Processes in the Andes’ (Berlin, Potsdam) as well as data from external sources. The catalogue, which since 1996 is also available on the Web (WWW, URL: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~data/ provides a general view of the database architecture and contents, and facilitates common and easy access to singular sets of data. In addition, various methods for the analysis of spatial data from disciplines such as statistics (swath-averaged topographic profiles, standard deviation, correlation, fractals), digital image processing (directional filtering), geomorphometry (inclination and vertical doming) and numerical methods (horizontal gradient, Fast Fourier Transformation [FFT]) are presented in this thesis. Application of these techniques for structural analysis on a regional scale was tested for the Central Andes, for which topographic coverage is complete, as well as for associated gravity fields, and compared with information generated during long term investigations in the Andes. Endogenous and exogenous processes are mirrored in topographic forms and landscapes. Characteristic features of morphostructural units are particularly well characterized when employing geomorphometric analyses and FFT filter techniques. Even simple statistical methods (swath-averaged topographic profiles, calculation of minimum, mean, maximum and standard deviation) for selected areas allow recognition of specific features and characteristic variations. As far as topography is concerned, distinct differences between the hyperarid northern portion of the western Central Andes (Atacama Desert) and lesser arid southern sectors are evident for all methods employed. Studies of the surface fractal geometry show an invariance of scale of the Andean topography. Structural and climatic influences are mirrored in geometric variations of the landscape. Morphologically intensely structured portions, like the Subandean ranges, characterized by pronounced crustal shortening, or the southwestern margin of the Central Andes are marked by a higher fractal dimension, when compared to the entire area studied, whereas the hyperarid portion of the Atacama Desert is characterized by a lower fractal dimension. Directional lineament enhancement, but other methods such as areal inclination detection as well, allow to accentuate major zones of structural weakness, such as the Atacama and Precordilleran fault systems. Both, geomorphometric investigations and lineament recognition, enhance morpho-structural features such as block-faulting of oceanic lithosphere along the Peru-Chile deep sea trench in a 50 km wide sector to the west of the subduction zone, and verify results gathered during the CINCA experiment (Reichert et al., 1997). Gravimetric lineaments, derived from maximum horizontal gradients in gravity fields of the Central Andes, point to abrupt lateral density variations, but can only occasionally be correlated with outcropping lithologic units or fault zones. The two dimensional correlation using the moving average technique has proven to be useful for analysis of mutually influencing and spatially arranged data sets. Selection of a proper window size allows to differentiate between analyses on regional resp. local scales. Employing proper visualization, relations between variables are easily detectable. A spatially differentiated and quantitative analysis of the relationship between gravity field and topography in the Central Andes shows a strong negative correlation of altitude with Bouguer anomaly and isostatic residual field.

    Description: Schweremessungen im Hochgebirge erfordern eine genaue Bestimmung der topographischen Reduktion für die Berechnung der Bouguer-Anomalie. Von besonderer Wichtigkeit ist hierbei die optimale Approximation der Erdoberfläche durch geometrisch einfache Geländemodelle und die Kenntnis der Gesteinsdichteverteilung im Untersuchungsgebiet. Mit modernen Reduktionsverfahren ist es möglich, topographische Effekte zu verringern oder zu eliminieren und somit die Genauigkeit der Bouguer-Anomalie zu erhöhen. Anhand der verfügbaren Literatur wird eine Übersicht über bislang entwickelte Verfahren zur Berechnung der topographischen Reduktion gegeben. Hierbei handelt es sich um Verfahren, bei denen die Gestalt des Geländes zumeist durch unterschiedliche Modellvorstellungen (Quader, Kreisringsegmente) approximiert wird. Ein weiteres Problem ist die korrekte Berücksichtigung der Reduktionsdichte innerhalb des Untersuchungsgebietes. Darauf aufbauend wird ein Reduktionsverfahren entwickelt, das eine optimale Anpassung der Topographie durch die Triangulation aller Höheninformationen erlaubt bei gleichzeitiger Berücksichtigung von lateral variierenden Gesteinsdichteverteilungen, sog. Dichteprovinzen im Vergleich zum Standarddichteansatz. Die Höheninformationen bestehen aus einer Kombination von exakten Punkthöhen der Gravimeterstationen, den Höhenwerten aus hochauflösenden digitalen Höhenmodellen (DHM) und sonstigen Höhendaten. Durch eine Dreiecksvermaschung aller Höhenpunkte entsteht eine triangulierte irreguläre Netzwerk-Struktur (TIN). Die Geländereduktion für eine Station erhält man durch Summierung der Schwerewirkung aller Polyeder, deren Grundfläche aus ebenen Dreiecken im Stationsniveau und deren Deckflächen aus geneigten Flächen der Geländeapproximation bestehen. Die Berechnung der Schwerewirkung erfolgt durch eine analytische Lösung des auftretenden Volumenintegrals des Polyeders. Bei dieser Polyeder-Methode entfällt außerdem die klassische Einteilung des Geländes in unterschiedliche Entfernungszonen. Aufgrund des Rechenalgorithmus gehört das Polyeder- Verfahren zu den stationsunabhängigen Reduktions verfahren. Die Anwendung des Verfahrens erfolgt an Schweremessungen aus den Zentralen Anden in Südamerika zwischen 19°-29° S und 60°-71° W. Als Datengrundlage dienen ca. 15 000 Schwerestationen und das hochauflösende 30”x30” Höhenmodell ’GTOPO30’ des USGS. Mit einem modifizierten Nettleton-Verfahren werden erstmalig mittlere Reduktionsdichtewerte aus Bouguer-Schwerewerten für den zentralen Andenbereich bestimmt. Die Verwendung von diesen Dichtemodellen stellt den Versuch dar, die Schweredaten mit einer lateral variierenden DichteVerteilung neu zu interpretieren. Es ist deshalb nur als ein erster Ansatz zu verstehen, weil die derzeit verfügbare Dichtedatenbasis im Untersuchungsgebiet noch nicht ausreichend gut ist. Mit dem Polyeder- Verfahren steht ein moderner und flexibler Rechenalgorithmus zur Verfügung, der in idealer Weise alle notwendigen Höhen- und Gesteinsdichteinformationen zur optimalen Berechnung der topographischen Reduktion in der Gravimetrie verwendet.
    Description: Gravimetric measurements in high mountains need an exact determination of the topographic reduction for the calculation of the Bouguer-Anomaly. The optimum representation of the shape of the earth’s relief by simple geometric ground models and the knowledge of the rock density distribution in the examined area is very important. It is possible to reduce or eliminate topographic effects by modern reduction procedures and to increase the exactness of the Bouguer- Anomaly. The available literature so far about this topic gives a survey about the developed procedure of calculating the topographic reduction. These procedures deal with the approximation of the ground condition by different model proceedings. Another problem is the correct consideration of the reduction density in the explored area. Based on this a new method for calculating the topographic reduction at each gravity station with a simultaneous consideration of variable rock density distribution, which are called density provinces, is developed. This method bases on the approximation of the terrain by polyhedrons. The source of the terrain model consists of digital elevation models (DEM), the heights of the gravity station themselves and perhaps other heights. Next step is the triangulation of the data and the result of it is a network of triangulation facets (TIN). The triangulated topography and the reference surface of the gravity surface built a polyhedron by which gravity attraction can be calcuated immediately and exactly and in an analytical form to each gravity station in the area. This procedure is called polyhedron-method and it belongs to the station-independent reduction procedures. The approximation of the topography in the triangulation facets avoids a classical division of the surroundings into different distance zones. The application of this procedure is carried out in gravity measurements of the Central Andes in South America between 19°-29°S and 60°-71°W. The data source includes 15 000 gravity stations and a 30-arc second digital elevation model ’GTOPO30’ of South America from the USGS. The first medium reduction density values taken from the Bouguer gravity values are fixed for the Central Andes by a modified Nettleton-procedure. That is only to understand as the first attempt. The momentary available density data basis in the explored area is still not satisfying. A new modern and flexible polyhedron method which ideally uses all necessary elevation information about the topography to provide higher accuracy for the terrain reduction process than it was possible before is now available.

    Description: Subduktionszonen gehören zu den geologisch aktivsten Regionen der Erde. Viele der Prozesse in diesen Zonen laufen unter der Beteiligung von Fluiden ab und führen zu Aufschmelzung und Vulkanismus. Der Parameter der Absorption seismischer Wellen in der Erde (Kruste, Mantel) wird entscheidend von Größen wie der Temperatur, der Porosität, dem Umgebungsdruck oder der Sättigung mit wässrigen Fluiden oder (partiellen) Schmelzen gesteuert. Er eignet sich demnach hervorragend zur Untersuchung des Zustandes von Kruste und Erdmantel und den Prozessen in einer Subduktionszone. Für die Absorptionsuntersuchungen in der Subduktionszone in den westlichen Zentralen Anden standen die Daten der beiden seismologischen Experimente PISCO ’94 und ANCORP ’96 zur Verfügung. Diese Projekte wurden vom Sonderforschungsbereich 267 ’’Deformationsprozesse in den Anden”, der Freien Universität Berlin und dem GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam finanziert und gemeinsam mit südamerikanischen Partnern durchgeführt. So wurden in den Jahren 1994 und 1996/97 für jeweils rund 3 Monate seismologische Stationsnetze in Nord-Chile und Süd-Bolivien betrieben, die weite Bereiche des forearc und des magmatischen Bogens sowie Teile des Altiplano zwischen 21° und 24° S umfaßten. Sie registrierten eine große Anzahl überwiegend lokaler Ereignisse aus der Wadati-Benioff-Zone. Für die Absorptionsuntersuchungen konnten insgesamt 904 Ereignisse mit 11.738 P-Phasen des PISCO ’94-Experiments bzw. 686 Ereignisse mit 10.544 P-Phasen des ANCORP ’96- Experiments verwendet werden. Die Berechnung der Absorption der einzelnen Strahlen erfolgte (automatisch) aus den Amplitudenspektren der P-Wellen Einsätze. Es wurde ein Frequenzband von 3 bis maximal 30 Hz analysiert, in dem ein frequenzunabhängiger Qualitätsfaktor Q angenommen wurde. Dabei kamen zwei unterschiedliche Methoden, Spektralverhältnisse und Spektralinversion, zur Anwendung, um der prinzipiellen Schwierigkeit der Trennung von Quell- und Weg-Effekten zu begegnen und Annahmen beispielsweise über die Quellfunktion zu überprüfen. Eine Spektralinversion nach individuellen t*-Operatoren und Plateauwerten und einer für ein Beben gemeinsamen Eckfrequenz konnte erfolgreich angewendet werden. Die so bestimmten Absorptionswerte (t*-Operatoren) wurden für eine damped least squares-Inversion zur Berechnung der dreidimensionalen Absorptionsstruktur im Untergrund verwendet. Das raytracing wurde dabei in den dreidimensionalen Geschwindigkeitsmodellen durchgeführt, um den genauen Strahlverlauf zu berücksichtigen. Die errechneten Modelle erlauben einen detaillierten Einblick in die Subduktionszone der Zentralen Anden. Der Bereich unterhalb des arcs zwischen 21,5° und 24° S ist geprägt von einer prominenten Anomalie geringer Q-Werte, die von der Kruste bis in den oberen Mantel reicht. Große Stationskorrekturen der Stationen im arc und dem Altiplano deuten auf eine Erstreckung bis an die Oberfläche hin. Die krustale Absorption verläuft deckungsgleich mit der Verbreitung des rezenten Vulkanismus. Südlich von 22° S verläuft die Absorptionsanomalie bis in eine Tiefe von 250 km genau oberhalb der abtauchenden Nazca-Platte. Nördlich von 22° S scheint die starke Absorption auf den Bereich oberhalb von ca. 100 km begrenzt. In diesem nördlichen Bereich, in dem generell eine geringere Absorption verzeichnet wird, korrespondiert diese Zone mit dem dort angesiedelten Beben-cluster in ca. 100 km Tiefe; nördlich von 21° S verliert sie sich. Der forearc zeigt sich als relativ homogene, gering absorbierende Struktur mit Q-Werten um 1000; die abtauchende Platte weist ebenfalls hohe Q-Werte auf. Bedingt durch die Lage der Absorptionsanomalien relativ zu den seismologischen Netzen und die damit verbundene geringere Durchstrahlung war eine detaillierte Untersuchung der Auflösung der Modelle notwendig. Dazu wurden die aus der Modellresolutionsmatrix abgeleiteten Größen wie die spread-function berücksichtigt, aber auch synthetische Tests an Modellen mit oszillierenden Strukturen (Schachbrettmustern) und ’’realistischen” Untergrundmodellen vorgenommen. Sie zeigen, daß große Bereiche des forearcs und arcs in den Modellen sehr gut aufgelöst werden. Die gefundenen Anomalien lassen sich unter verschiedenen Gesichtspunkten diskutieren. Die ausgeprägte krustale Absorption unter großen Teilen der Westkordillere läßt sich mit der schon früher abgeleiteten Präsenz partieller Schmelzen erklären. Sie korreliert sehr gut mit der Verteilung des rezenten Vulkanismus, erniedrigten Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeiten, einem erhöhten vp/vs-Verhältnis, z.T. extrem erhöhten elektrischen Leitfähigkeiten und Bereichen, für die anomale Geschwindigkeits-Dichte Relationen angenommen werden müssen. Variationen innerhalb dieser krustalen Anomalien weisen auf eine unterschiedlich ausgeprägte Durchdringung mit partiellen Schmelzen hin. Die Anomalien im oberen Mantel deuten auf ein unterschiedliches Vordringen der heißen Asthenosphäre unter den magmatischen Bogen hin. Darüber hinaus können sie als Bereiche partieller Schmelzen und Fluide interpretiert werden, die Dehydratisierungs- und Hydratisierungsprozesse in dieser Subduktionszone widerspiegeln.
    Description: Subduction zones are among the geologically most active regions of the world. Many processes in these zones take place under the influence of fluids and lead to the generation of melts and volcanism. Attenuation of seismic waves in crust and mantle depends strongly on parameters like temperature, porosity, confining pressure or saturation with hydrous fluids or partial melts. Therefore, this parameter is perfectly suited to examine the state of the crust and mantle in subduction zones. For the attenuation studies in the subduction zone of the western Central Andes datasets of two seismological experiments, PISCO ’94 and ANCORP ’96, were used. These projects were financed by the Collaborative Research Center 267 ’’Deformation Processes in the Andes”, the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam and the Department of Geophysics of the Free University of Berlin and were executed in cooperation with partners from South America. In 1994 and 1996/97 two temporary seismological networks were installed in northern Chile and southern Bolivia covering large areas of the forearc, the magmatic arc and the Altiplano between 21° and 24° S. They monitored a large number of earthquakes predominantly situated in the Wadati-Benioff zone. From the PISCO ’94 and ANCORP ’96 datasets 904 events with 11.738 attenuation values respectively 686 events with 10.544 values could be used for the tomography. Whole-path attenuation was (automatically) determined from the amplitude spectra of the F- waves. In a frequency-band between 3 and 30 Hz a frequency-independent Quality-factor Qp was assumed. In order to separate source- and path-effects two different methods were applied, spectral inversion, and spectral ratios relative to a constant reference station. The spectral inversion for individual C-operators and plateau-values and a single source corner frequency for all observations of an event was applied successfully. In a damped least squares approach the t*-operators were inverted for the three-dimensional attenuation structure. To account for the spatial distribution of both velocity and attenuation raytracing was performed in the three-dimensional velocity structure previously derived by simultaneous inversions of travel-time data. The obtained models allow a detailed insight into the subduction zone of the Central Andes. Crust and mantle of the forearc and subducting slab are generally characterized by low attenuation (Qp 〉 1000). Beneath the Western Cordillera, the recent magmatic arc, a prominent attenuation anomaly is found (Qp 〈 100). This anomaly reaches from the uppermost crust down to the upper mantle at a depth of 250 km. North-South variations can be seen: The western flank of the crustal attenuation anomaly is congruent to the curved course of the volcanic front. North of 21° S the attenuation is less developed and dies out north of 20° S. A deeper zone of high attenuation is resolved between 22° and 24° S directly above the subducting slab. In the northern part of the study area the low-Qp-zone penetrates westwards in the forearc-mantle. Due to the irregular ray-coverage of the model a detailed analysis of the resolution was necessary. Both, formal analysis of the model resolution matrix (e.g. via spread-function) and tests with synthetic models including checkerboard and ’’realistic” attenuation models were executed. They show that large areas of the models beneath forearc and arc are well resolved. The anomalies found in the tomographic models can be interpreted in several ways. The prominent crustal attenuation beneath the Western Cordillera can be explained by partial melts previously proposed by others. The anomaly correlates well with the distribution of recent volcanism, reduced seismic velocities, reduced electrical resistivity and regions for which anomalous velocity-density relations must be assumed. Variations within the anomaly point towards the irregular distribution of partial melting beneath the volcanic arc. The anomalies within the upper mantle may map the distribution of hot asthenosphere material. Furthermore, they may be interpreted in terms of subduction-related dehydration- and hydration processes.

    Description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird - basierend auf externmorphologischen Kriterien von Brachiopodengehäusen aus dem spongiolithischen süddeutschen Oberjura - eine ökologische Interpretation von Brachiopodenassoziationen vorgestellt und diese mit nicht verschwammten Vorkommen unter Verwendung verschiedener methodischer Ansätze verglichen. Aus insgesamt elf brachiopodenführenden Lokalitäten unterschiedlicher stratigraphischer und fazieller Niveaus wurden die generell bevorzugt auftretenden Wuchsformen ermittelt, zu Standardmorphotypen zusammengefaßt und mit digitalisierten Abbildungen aus vorhergehenden Bearbeitungen ökologisch verglichen. [ …] [ … Tabelle 1. Stratigraphie, Fazies und dominierende Externmorphologie der Brachiopodengehäuse (Standardmorphotyp) in den untersuchten Lokalitäten.] Die Analysen ergaben, daß mit Hilfe des Verlaufs der dorsalen Umrißlinie, dem Verlauf der Frontalkommissur und untergeordnet der Foramengröße eine hinreichende Interpretation des Environments hinsichtlich Substratbeschaffenheit, Hydrodynamik und Bathymetrie erfolgen kann. Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse sind: a) Die Brachiopoden der süddeutschen Spongiolithfazies zeigen im Vergleich mit je einer Fauna aus einer schwach verschwammten Schichtfazies, einer Korallenfazies und einer oolithischen Mergelkalkfazies grundlegende Unterschiede in der äußeren Morphologie ihrer Gehäuse, b) In mergeldominierten Lokalitäten sind die Sphärizitätsindizes der Gehäuse deutlich höher als in der Korallenfazies, c) Reduzierte Werte des Dicken / Breiten - Verhältnisses scheinen ein Indiz für weichere Substrate zu sein, d) Im zeitlichen Verlauf (Oxfordium bis Unter-Tithonium) nehmen die Werte der Sphärizitätsindizes der Brachiopodengehäuse ab. e) Die Amplituden der Frontalkommissuren von Brachiopoden aus dem Moundbereich sind höher als diejenigen aus der Korallenfazies, f) Das Mengenverhältnis von terebratuliden zu rhynchonelliden Brachiopoden läßt Rückschlüsse auf das dominierende Substrat in den Moundbereichen zu. Ein quantitatives Übergewicht rhynchonellider Brachiopoden geht mit einem mergelreichen, stillen Tieferwasserenvironment einher, während die kalkdominierten Flachwasserbereiche mit erhöhter Hydrodynamik bevorzugt von Terebratuliden besiedelt werden, g) Untergeordnet wird ein Substratwechsel durch die Foramengröße und -position angezeigt. Große mesothyridide Foramina kennzeichnen meist Festsubstrate. Kleine hypothyridide Foramina sind eher für allomikritische Bereiche charakteristisch, h) Brachiopoden der koralligenen Fauna zeichnen sich durch Asymmetrien der Frontalkommissur (Rhynchonellida) und Asymmetrien in der dorsalen Umrißlinie aus (Terebratulida). Die artikulaten Brachiopoden aus den untersuchten „Riff-Ablagerungen scheinen hinsichtlich ihrer Morphologie und faunistischen Komposition von den kontrollierenden Bildungsfaktoren (besonders Sedimentationsrate, Substratbeschaffenheit und Hydrodynamik) der Schwamm- und Korallenassoziationen, beeinflußt worden zu sein. Die in den jeweiligen Aufschlüssen dominierenden Brachiopoden-Morphotypen reflektieren wenigstens statistisch die Bildungsbedingungen.
    Description: Data on brachiopods in spongolites from the Upper Jurassic of southern Germany were collected in order to establish associations based on paleoenvironmental parameters and compare these results to similar fauna across a range of depositional paleoenvironments. Fossils were sampled and their dominant growth morphotypes identified from 11 localities representing different ages and facies of the Upper Jurassic in the Franconian and Swabian Alb. These growth morphotypes were compared to standard morphotypes and to biometric data of modern brachiopods gleaned from the literature. Through statistical analysis, it was found that the mode of commissure line and in part the diameter of the foraminae correlate well with substrate types and hydrodynamic to bathymetric paleoconditions. General results include: a) the external morphology of brachiopods from spongolites is significantly different from that of brachiopods from well-bedded limestone containing few to no sponges but corals and oolites, b) within a mostly marl substrate, the sphericity index of brachiopod shells is much larger than for shells in coral-bearing rocks, c) width to length ratios of shells are less for softer substrates indicating possible use as an index for substrate consistency, d) from the Lower Oxfordian to the Tithonian, the sphericity index of shells in general decreases, e) amplitudes of the frontal commissure line of brachiopods found within spongolite build-ups are much larger than those from coral-bearing rocks, f) Terebratulidae to Rhynchonellida biometric relations may be used as an index for judging the “quality” of the paleoenvironment; rhynchonellid brachiopods were dominantly found in marly, deeper paleoenvironments, whereas carbonate sediments deposited under shallow, high energy, water paleoconditions were colonized by terebratulid brachiopods, g) the size and position of foraminae are linked to the substrate type; brachiopods with larger mesothyrid foraminae are found associated with hard substrates while smaller hypothyrid foraminae in soft carbonate sediment areas, h) brachiopods from coral rocks are characterized by their asymmetric growth in form (Terebratulida) and of their frontal commissure (Rhychonellida). In general, brachiopods from reefal deposits appeared to have been directly influenced morphologically by paleoecologic factors, such as sedimentation rate, substrate type, and water energy levels. The dominant standard morphotype of brachiopods appears to correlate in a statistically significant way with the interpreted depositional circumstances at each locality. Due to here presented morphological data of brachiopodes from the Upper Jurassic of Southern Germany, associations of brachiopodes in spongiolites are interpreted palecologically and compared to similar faunae from other depositional environments. From 11 localities of different stratigraphical age and facies in the Franconian and Swabian Alb the dominant growth morphotypes are presented and abstracted to so-called „standard morphotypes“. The latter are compared to biometrical data of modern brachiopodes, mainly extracted from literature data. Interpreting the mathematical analyses it can be concluded that the dorsal outline, the mode of commissur line and partially the diameter of the foraminae can be used as indicator of substrates, hydrodynamical and paleobathymetrical conditions. The main results are: a) External morphology of brachiopodes from spongiolites exhibits strong differences in contrast to brachiopodes from well-bedded limestones with few or no sponges, to coral-bearing strata and to oolithic limestones, b) In localities, where marls have been predominantly deposited, the sphericity index is much larger than in the coral-bearing rocks, c) Reduced relations of width and length can be tentatively used as index for soft substrates, d) From the Lower Oxfordian to the Tithonian the sphericity index becomes smaller, e) Amplitudes of the frontal commissur line from brachiopodes of spongiolitic buildups are much higher than from brachiopodes in coral-bearing rocks, f) Quantitative relations from Terebratulidae to Rhynchonellida can be used as index for quality of substrates. Rhynchonellid brachiopodes are dominating marly, deeper environments, whereas carbona-tic sediments deposited under shallow water conditions with higher water energy are dominated by terebratulid brachiopodes. g) Changes of substrates are indicated by the size and position of foraminae. Larger mesothyrid foraminae characterize hard substrates, smaller hypothyrid foraminae are typically developed in allomicritic areas, h) Brachiopodes from coralligene rocks are characterized by their asymmetrical growth of form (Terebratulida) and of their frontal commissure (Rhynchonellida). Generally, brachiopodes from reefal deposits have been influenced morphologically by ecologically controlling factors such as the sedimentation rate, the substrate, and the water energy levels. The dominating standard morphotypes of brachiopodes in each locality reflect at least statistically the former depositional environments. (Translation: Dr. Elizabeth H.

    Description: Die Ordnungen Cerithiimorpha und Littorinimorpha stellen umfangreiche systematische Gruppen innerhalb der basalen Caenogastropoda mit einfachen konisch-orthostrophen Protoconchen dar. Diese Großgruppen lassen sich seit der späten Trias differenzieren und lassen seit der Kreidezeit eine zunehmende Diversität erkennen. Im folgenden werden ausgewählte Vertreter aus fünf Überfamilien und 20 Familien unter besonderer Berücksichtigung ihrer frühontogenetischen Schalen beschrieben und ihre Entwicklungsgeschichte wird seit der Kreide belegt. Die Überfamilie Cerithioidea stellt die Kerngruppe der Cerithiimorpha und war mit der Familie Procerithiidae seit dem Jura weltweit im Flachmarin verbreitet. Form und Skulptur der Larvalschale ermöglichte es, die Gattung Schroederium n.g. von den Gattungen Procerithium und Cryptaulax zu trennen. In der Oberkreide lassen sich die nahe verwandten Familien Cassiopidae, Potamididae, Melanopsidae und Scaliolidae über ihre Protoconchmorphologie sicher von den Procerithiidae differenzieren. Die Familien Batillariidae und Modulidae sind durch ihre charakteristische Embryonalschalenskulptur als Schwestergruppen ausgewiesen. Ihre nahe Verwandtschaft wird auch durch anatomische Daten gestützt. Innerhalb der seit dem Eozän in Protoconcherhaltung dokumentierten Familie Cerithiidae, Unterfamilie Cerithiinae, treten abhängig vom besiedelten Habitat zwei Protoconchtypen auf, die mit zu unterscheidenden Radulatypen korrelieren. Die Unterfamilie Bittiinae konnte über Details der Larvalschalenskulptur seit dem Eozän belegt und von den Cerithiinae differenziert werden. Die Adelphotaxa Planaxidae und Thiaridae mit dem gemeinsamen Merkmal einer Bruttasche im Kopffußbereich sind ebenfalls seit dem Eozän bekannt. Larvalschalen fossiler und rezenter Planaxinae werden vergleichend dargestellt. Larvalschalen der hinsichtlich der Morphologie des Teleoconches abweichenden Unterfamilie Fossarinae belegen die Nähe zur Nominatunterfamilie und ermöglichten eine sichere Abgrenzung von gehäusekonvergenten Vertretern der Littorinimorpha. Über die Formation der frühontogenetischen Schale, die eine charakteristische Embryogenese widerspiegelt, war es möglich, die Brackwasser und limnische Biotope besiedelnden Thiaridae bis in das mittlere Eozän zu belegen, was auch Anlaß zu neuen paläobiogeographischen Interpretationen gab. Pseudamauridae konnten über ihre Protoconche von der Oberkreide bis in das Eozän belegt und von gehäusekonvergenten Naticoidea (Neomesogastropoda) und Amphibolidae innerhalb der Archaeopulmonata (Heterostropha) abgegrenzt werden. Die Phylogenese der Überfamilien Vermetoidea und Turritelloidea wurde von der Unterkreide bis rezent dokumentiert, wobei konvergente Gruppen über ihre Protoconche differenziert wurden. Innerhalb der Littorinimorpha konnten charakteristische Merkmale der Embryonal- und Larvalschalen herausgearbeitet und zur Untergliederung der Littorinoidea und Rissooidea herangezogen werden. Pickworthiidae mit alloisostroph abgewinkelten Protoconchen konnten bis in das Danium belegt werden. Der direkte Vergleich mit Protoconchen der triassischen Protstyliferidae mit detaillierten Übereinstimmungen dokumentiert die unabhängige Evolution dieser Linie. Die konvergenten Vanikoridae ließen sich über ihre Protoconchmorphologie trennen, wobei auch signifikante Unterschiede zu den übrigen Littorinimorpha dargestellt werden. Micromphalina peyrerensis und Megalomphalus (M.) antwerpensis werden neu beschrieben und den Vanikoridae eingegliedert.
    Description: The orders Cerithiimorpha and Littorinimorpha represent large systematic units within the stem of Caenogastropoda with simple conical-orthostrophic protoconchs. These groups are separated since the Upper Triassic showing increasing diversity since the Upper Cretaceous. Representatives of five superfamilies and 20 families are described with special reference to their early ontogenetic shells. The family Procerithiidae within the superfamily Cerithioidea has been distributed worldwide since Jurassic times as a faunal element in shallow marine environments. Regarding the shape and sculpture of its larval shell the procerithiid Schroederium n.g. could be differentiated from the genera Procerithium and Cryptaulax. Since the Upper Cretaceous brackish-water Cassiopidae, Potamididae and Melanopsidae can be differentiated from Procerithiidae by their protoconch-morphology. The families Batillariidae and Modulidae represent Adelphotaxa. This relation is proven by the uniting character of embryonic tuberculated sculpture and data concerning their anatomy. The Cerithiidae, subfamily Cerithiinae, are documented since the Eocene with preserved protoconchs. Two types of larval sculpture are present depending on the settled habitat, correlated with two different types of radulae. The subfamily Bittiinae is also documented and distinguished from the Cerithiinae by their protoconch-morphology since the Eocene. The Adelphotaxa Planaxidae and Thiaridae with the uniting character of a brood pouch within the head-foot are present since the Eocene. Larval shells of fossil and Recent Planaxinae are compared. Protoconchs of representatives of the subfamily Fossarinae with different teleoconch-morphology proved the close relation to the Planaxinae and also made a differentiation from convergent littorinimorphs feasible. The analysis of early ontogenetic shells of brackish water and limnic Thiaridae enabled to trace them back to the Middle Eocene and made new interpretations concerning their palaeobiogeography possible. Pseudamauridae could be documented from the Upper Cretaceous to the Middle Eocene with the aid of preserved protoconchs and could be discriminated from convergent Naticoidea and Archaeopulmonata. The phylogenetic history of Vermetoidea and Turritelloidea could be reconstructed since the Early Cretaceous and convergent groups could be differentiated. Within the Littorinimorpha characters regarding the early shell could be worked out to subdivide Littorinoidea and Rissooidea. Pickworthiidae with alloisostrophic protoconchs are documented since the Danian. Comparison with protoconchs of Triassic Prostyliferidae yielded detailed accordance and documents the independent history of this lineage. The convergent Vanikoridae could be discriminated by their protoconch-morphology and significant differences to the other Littorinimorpha are presented. Micromphalina peyrerensis and Megalomphalus (M.) antwerpensis are described as new species and are included within the Vanikoridae.

    Description: Es wurden verschiedene nichtlineare Optimierungsverfahren auf die Geometrieparameter von Dichtemodellen angewendet. Dabei waren diese mit Randbedingungen versehen. Ein Vergleich zeigte die Vor- und Nachteile der einzelnen Algorithmen. Anhand von zwei synthetischen Testfunktionen wurde das Verfahren Downhill-Simplex mit der (1,10)-CMA-ES verglichen. Das Simplexverfahren zeigte bei weniger als zehn Parametern ein besseres Konvergenz verhalten als die Evolutionsstrategie. Bei höheren Dimensionen konvergierte die Evolutionsstrategie deutlich besser, während Simplex bei mehr als 40 Parametern nicht mehr konvergierte. Die Evolutionsstrategie zeigt unabhängig von der Anzahl der Parameter logarithmische Konvergenzgeschwindigkeit. Die Evolutionsstrategie, genetische Algorithmen. Simulated-Annealing. Threshold-Accepting und der Deluge- Algorithm wurden danach anhand eines zweidimensionalen Salzstockmodells untersucht. Dabei wurden die Geometrieparameter optimiert und die Dichten des Modells konstant gehalten. Die 52 zu optimierenden Parameter wurden mit Randbedingungen versehen. Die (1,10)-CMA-ES benötigte im Durchschnitt die wenigsten Funktionsaufrufe und erreichte die besten Qualitäten. Ausgehend von verschiedenen Startmodellen konnten ähnliche Lösungen, welche alle sehr gute Qualitätswerte hatten, gefunden werden. Rekombination verbesserte die Konvergenzeigenschaften immer. Evolutionsstrategie war stabil gegenüber numerischen Variationen. Genetische Algorithmen konvergierten zu Beginn des Optimierungsprozesses schneller als alle anderen Verfahren, erreichten aber nie die von der Evolutionsstrategie gefundenen besten durchschnittlichen Qualitätswerte. Downhill-Simplex. Simulated-Annealing. Threshold-Accepting und der Deluge-Algorithm zeigten insgesamt schlechteres Konvergenzverhalten als die Evolutionsstrategie und die genetischen Algorithmen. Eine Anwendung der Evolutionsstrategie auf ein Salzstockmodell zeigte die Probleme der Optimierung in drei Dimensionen. Dennoch konnte das Modell in Hinblick auf die gravimetrische Anpassung deutlich verbessert werden.
    Description: Various non-linear optimization techniques were applied to constrained geometry parameters of density models. A comparison showed advantages and disadvantages of each method. By means of synthetical test-functions the downhill-simplex-method has been compared to the (1,10)-CMA-ES. For numbers of parameters smaller ten. better convergence behaviour was achieved with the simplex-method. However, at higher dimensions evolution-strategy converges better than the simplex- met hod. Simplex does not converge for dimensions greater than 40. Independent of the number of parameters, the evolution-strategy showed a logarithmic convergence speed. The evolution-strategy, genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, threshold accepting and the deluge algorithm were investigated using a two-dimensional salt dome model. Here only the geometry of the model was optimized, the densities were held constant. The 52 parameters were constrained. In average the (1,10)-CMA-ES required the less function evaluations and gained the best qualities. Independent of the start configuration evolution-strategy found similar solutions, whose qualities were fairly good. Recombination always improved the results in terms of convergence behaviour. The evolution-strategy was stable against numerical variations. At the beginning of the optimization process genetic algorithms converge faster than all other methods, but they never reach the average quality values which were gained by evolution-strategy. In summary the simplex-method, genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, threshold accepting and the deluge algorithm showed worse convergence behaviour than evolution-strategy and genetic algorithms. An application of evolution-strategy to a three dimensional salt dome model showed the problems encountered in three dimensions. Despite this, in terms of gravity fit. the model could be improved noticeable.

    Description: Mit dem Ziel, aktuelle Arbeitshypothesen zum geologischen Aufbau der Südural-Lithosphäre zu überprüfen, wird das Schwerefeld im Bereich des Südurals mit folgenden gravimetrischen Methoden untersucht: • Numerische Analyse des Schwerefeldes mit Hilfe von Tiefenabschätzungen, Wellenlängenfilterungen und des Parker- Algorithmus sowie • zwei- und dreidimensionale Dichtemodellierungen. Im Vergleich mit dem hauptsächlich eingesetzten Verfahren zur Dichtemodellierung kann festgestellt werden, daß direkte gravimetrische Auswerteverfahren, wie z.B. die Wellenlängenfilterung, für komplizierte geologische Strukturen dem indirekten Auswerteverfahren mittels Dichtemodellierung weit unterlegen sind. So ist es z.B. mit der Wellenlängenfilterung nicht möglich, langwellige negative Schwerewirkungen der paläozoischen Sedimente von den bivergenten Unterkrustenstrukturen zu trennen. Auch mit variablen Dichtekontrasten bezüglich des Krusten-Mantel-Übergangs bei der Anwendung des Parker-Algorithmus ist es nicht möglich, die Schwerewirkung dieser Grenzfläche im gesamten Untersuchungsgebiet abzuschätzen. Die Verbindung und Interpretation aller verfügbaren Randbedingungen aus der Reflexions- und Refraktionsseismik sowie den zur Verfügung stehenden Datensätzen zur Sedimentbedeckung und Moho-Tiefe führt zu komplexen dreidimensionalen Dichtemodellen der Südural-Lithosphäre. Diese führen mit den derzeit verfügbaren Ergebnissen über die strukturellen und physikalischen Eigenschaften der Südural-Lithosphäre im Bereich von 52° - 65° O und 50° - 55,5° N auf zwei gleichberechtigt nebeneinanderstehende Dichtemodelle: 1. Das Dichtemodell 1 beruht auf einer bis in 90 km Tiefe subduzierten osteuropäischen Unterkruste, die massiv eklogitisiert wurde (Dichte 3,55 g /cm3 ). Die Ursache für diese Dichteinterpretation sind geringe Dichten im Bereich der bivergenten geologischen Strukturen der Unterkruste in 24 bis 42 km Tiefe. Diese bivergenten Strukturen sind ebenso die Folgen einer fossilen Subduktion. 2. Im Dichtemodell 2 bildet eine unter dem Orogen liegende osteuropäische Unterkruste eine Krustenverdickung, in deren Folge die Krustenmächtigkeit bis zu 60 km erreicht. Während der Delamination der Unterkruste muß ebenfalls eine Eklogitisierung stattgefunden haben. Das Dichtemodell 2 basiert auf höheren Dichten der bivergenten geologischen Strukturen innerhalb der Unterkruste als im Dichtemodell 1. Eine Gebirgswurzel mit einem deutlichen Kontrast zwischen Kruste und Mantel existiert nicht im Südural. Es wird eine Übergangszone mit Dichtegradienten modelliert. Dieser Dichtegradient kann auf Eklogitisierung des Unterkrustenmaterials beruhen und könnte somit auch die Ursache für das Ausbleiben von seismischen Reflektoren sein. Mit beiden Dichtemodellen werden auch Geoidundulation und Magnetfeld berechnet und deren Wirkung mit der Geoidundulation und dem aeromagnetischen Residualfeld verglichen. Der Vergleich ergibt für die Geoidundulation und das aeromagnetische Residualfeld im langwelligen Anomalienbereich em befriedigendes Ergebnis. Die auf der Interpretation der Bouguer-Schwere beruhenden Dichtemodelle 1 und 2 lassen folgende Schlußfolgerungen zum Aufbau der Lithosphäre im Südural zu: • Die bivergenten Strukturen vor allem im unteren Krustenbereich der Südural-Lithosphäre verursachen langwellige negative Schwereanteile. Zu diesen Strukturen gehören: - die nach Osten einfällende osteuropäische Kruste, - der Falten- und Überschiebungsgürtel im Westural, - die nach Westen einfällenden Strukturen des Ost- und Transurals sowie des kasachischen Terrans. • Eine durch Obduktion in der Oberkruste eingelagerte ozeanische Kruste erzeugt in der Magnitogorsk Zone eine positive kurzwellige Schwereanomalie, die die negativen Schwerewirkungen der darunter befindlichen Strukturen überlagert. • Die negative! Schwerewirkung im Bereich der Voruralsenke ist auf die Schwerewirkung der paläozoischen Sedimentbedeckungen zurückzuführen. Die Untersuchungen zum isostatischen Verhalten der Südural-Lithosphäre zeigen, daß keine klassischen isostatischen Modelle den isostatischen Zustand des Gebirges erklären können, da eine gering ausgeprägte Topographie im Bereich des West- und Zentralurals um 50 bis 100 km nach Westen versetzt ist gegenüber der Krustenverdickung im Bereich der Magnitogorsk und Osturalzone. Mit einem modifizierten Verfahren werden Airy-, Pratt- und Vening-Memesz-Modell miteinander kombiniert. Zunächst wird der lokale isostatische Ausgleich mit Hilfe der Auflastverteilung und -kompensation aus den komplexen Dichtemodellen der Südural-Lithosphäre abgeleitet (Airy- und Pratt-Modell). Um die von den Dichtemodellen nicht mehr kompensierten Masseninhomogenitäten im Zusammenhang mit der Rigidität der Lithosphäre betrachten zu können, werden sie in eine ’’topographische” Auflast zurückgerechnet. Anschließend wird in einem Vening-Meinesz-Modell der regionale isostatische Ausgleich für diese zurückgerechnete ’’topographische” Auflast berechnet. Nur unter Berücksichtigung einer hohen Rigidität der Lithosphäre (3,8 • 1024 Nm) befinden sich beide vorgestellten Dichtemodelle im isostatischen Gleichgewicht. Dies ist offensichtlich auch ein wesentlicher Grund dafür, daß sich die geologischen Strukturen in ihrer vertikalen Position seit der Unteren Trias nicht mehr geändert haben.
    Description: I investigate the gravity field in the southern Urals in order to test current hypotheses on the lithospheric structure in this area. My approach to this problem includes the following gravimetric methods: • numerical analyses of the gravity field by means of depth estimations, wavelength filtering and application of the Parker algorithm • two- and three-dimensional density modelling. In contrast to the mainly used density modelling, inverse gravity methods (e.g. wavelength filtering) are not successful at resolving the complex geological structures in this area. For example, I am not able to separate the long-wavelength components of the gravity field from Paleozoic sediments and bi-vergent structures in the lower crust. Estimating the gravity effect of the crust-mantle boundary in the study area, using the Parker-algorithm, is not possible due to its variable density contrast. Data from seismic reflection and refraction surveys and other information relating to the sedimentary cover and Moho depth have been used in the construction of complex three-dimensional density models for the southern Urals’ lithosphere. Incorporating the available details on the structural and physical properties of the southern Urals’ lithosphere in the region between 52° - 65° E and 50° - 55, 5° N, two alternative density models are derived: 1. The density model 1 is based on an East European lower crust which could have been subducted to 90 km depth and eclogitized to a density value of 3.55 g/cm3 . The low density values in the bi-vergent geological structures of the lower crust (from 24 till 42 km depth) overlie a high density body in the upper mantle. These bi-vergent geological structures may be remnants of a fossil subduction setting. 2. In the density model 2, crustal thickening is caused by the East European crust underlying the orogen. The crustal thickness is 60 km. During delamination, the East European lower crust may have been eclogitized. The density model 2 is based on higher density values for the bi-vergent geological structures within the lower crust than in the density model 1. A crustal root, having a significant density contrast between crust and mantle, does not exist in the southern Urals. Using a density gradient, a transition zone is modelled. This density gradient is inferred to be due to eclogitized material in the lower crust. The increasing density could be the cause for the lack of seismic reflectors. The geoid undulation and the magnetic field are calculated for both density models. The results compare satisfactorily with the long- wavelength components of the observed geoid undulation and aeromagnetic residual field. Based on the interpretation of the Bouguer gravity, density models 1 and 2 reveal implications concerning the lithospheric fabric of the southern Urals: • The bi-vergent structures, particularly in the lower crust of the southern Urals’ lithosphere, cause long-wavelength gravity lows. There are following structures: ─ the East European crust dipping to the east, ─ the foreland fold and thrust belt located in the western Urals, ─ the westward-dipping structures of the eastern and Trans-Urals as well as the Kazakhstan terrain. • The obducted oceanic crust in the upper crust of the Magnitogorsk zone causes positive short-wavelength gravity anomalies which are superimposed on the long-wavelength negative gravity effects of the structures located beneath. • Negative gravity anomalies in the area of the Pre-Uralian Foredeep are associated with the gravity effects of the paleozoic sedimentary cover. The investigations into the isostatic behaviour of the southern Urals’ lithosphere show that no classic isostatic model is able to explain the isostatic state of the orogen. The moderate topography in the area of the West and Central Urals is shifted by 50 to 100 km to the west, relative to the largest crustal thickness beneath the Magnitogorsk and East Uralian Zone. A modified method combines the Airy-, the Pratt- and the Vening-Meinsz models. Firstly the local isostatic balance is inferred from the load distribution and the load compensation using the complex density models of the southern Urals’ lithosphere (Airy- and Pratt-model). In order to consider the non-compensated mass inhomogeneities of the density models according to the flexural rigidity of the lithosphere, the non-compensated mass inhomogeneities are recalculated to a ’’topographic” load. Next, the regional isostatic balance as a Vening-Meinesz-model is calculated for the recalculated ’’topographic” load. When allowance is made for the high flexural rigidity of the lithosphere (3.8 • 1024 Nm), both density models presented here are in isostatic balance. Obviously this is the main reason why the geological structures have not changed their vertical position since the Lower Triassic time.
    Description: Целью данной работы является проверка существующих моделей строения литосферы Южного Урала по гравиметрическим данным. Для этого исрользуются методы численного анализа гравитационного поля, основанные на: • эмпирической оценке глубин источников аномалий, частотной фильтрации, методе Паркера и • прямом гравитационном моделировании литосферы (двух- и трехмерном). В отличие от обычно используемой технологии гравитационного моделирования, такие методы, как, например, частотная фильтрация не могут быть использованы в данном случае. Невозможно разделить влияние длинноволновых компонент гравитационного поля, обусловленных влиянием палеозойских осадочных отложений и наклоненных слоев нижней коры ц обеих сторон Урала. Также неправомерно использовать алгоритм Паркера для оценки влияния границы между корой мантией вследствие переменного перепада плотности на ней. Включение в анализ доступных опорных данных, основанных на результатах сейсмических методов с использованием отраженных и преломленных волн, данных об осадочном чехле и положении границы Мохо приводит к созданию комплексной плотностной модели литосферы Южного Урала. Использование всех существующих данных о структуре и физических свойствах литосферы Южного Урала в пределах 52° - 65° Е и 50° - 55,5° N позволило построить две эквивалентные плотностные модели: 1. Первая плотностная модель основана на представлении о том, что нижняя кора Восточно-Европейской платформы погружается на глубину 90 кт, при этом происходит эклогитизация её вещества с увеличением плотности до 3,55 g/cm3. Таким образом, наклоненные с обеих сторон блоки нижней коры ответственны за существование высокоплотного тела в верхней мантии. На глубинах 24 - 42 km они характеризуются сравнительно низкими значениями плотностей. Существование этих блоков может быть объяснено также как результат обычной субдукции. 2. Согласно второй модели, утолщение коры объясняется поддвигом под ороген коры Восточно-Европейской платформы. Толщина коры достигает 60 кт. Вследствие деламинации, часть её также должна быть эклогитизирована. Во второй модели значения плотностей наклоненных блоков нижней коры существенно больше, чем в пербой. Копень коры с существенным перепадом плотности под Южным Уралом отсутствует. Вместо этого мы используем при моделировании переходную зону с некоторым градиентом плотности. Этот градиент может быть оценен в предположении об эклогитизации нижней коры. Непрерывное увеличение плотности может быть связано с отсутствием отражающих горизонтов на этих глубинах. Ундуляции геоида и вариации магнитного поля были рассчитаны для обоих моделей и сопоставлены с наблюденными значениями геоида и аэромагнитными измерениями. Оказалось, что удовлетворительное соответствие наблюдается только для длинноволновых аномалий. Таким образом, основанные на интерпретации аномалий Буге плотностые модели 1 и 2 позволяют сформулировать следующие выводы о строении литосферы Южного Урала: • наклоненные в сторону Урала структуры коры, в особенности нижней, ответственны за существование длинноволнового гравитационного минимума. К ним можно отнести: ─ погружающуюся на Восток Восточно-Европейскую платформу, ─ предгорный складчатый пояс Южного Урала, ─ заглубленные в западном напрвлении структуры Восточный зоны, Трансуральской зоны и Казахстанского террэйна. • Фрагмент океанической коры, находящийся вблизи от поверхности в Магнитогорской зоне, вызывает сравнительно коротковолновую положительную аномалию гравитационного поля, которая наложена на длинноволновую отрицательную аномалию, обусловленную структурами, располагающимися ниже. • Отрицательная аномалия в районе Предуральского прогиба может быть объяснена за счёт гравитационного эффекта палеозойского осадочного чехла. Исследование изостатического состояния литосферы Южного Урала показывает, что классические изостатические модели не позволяют объяснить изостазию этого горного массива. Современная топография Западного и Центрального Урала смещена на 50 - 100 кт к западу по отношению к самому глубокому корню коры. Модифицированный метод соединяет изостатические модели Эри, Пратта и Вейнинг-Мейнеса. Первоначально, локальный изостатический баланс оценивается на основании данных о нагрузке и её компенсации в соответствие с построенной комплексной моделью литосферы Южного Урала (модели Эри и Пратта). Для того, чтобы оценить сумму нескомпенсированных плотностных неоднородностей, поддерживаемых за счёт жесткости литосферы, эти неоднородности пересчитываются в ” топографическую” нагрузку. Затем, для этой нагрузки рассчитывается региональная изостатическая компенсация в соответствие со схемой Вейнинг-Мейнеса. Обе рассмотренные плотностные модели могут считаться изостатически сбалансированы только в предположении о высокой эффективной жесткости литосферы (3,8 • 1024 Nm). Очевидно, это является также основной причиной того, что эти геологические структуры не претерпели существенных вертикальных движений со времени позднего Триаса.

    Description: In dieser Arbeit wird die elektrische Leitfähigkeit von Krustengesteinen während des partiellen Schmelzens mit der Verteilung der Schmelze im Gestein und dem Schmelzanteil als Funktion der Temperatur verglichen. Es wurden impedanzspektroskopische Messungen der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit bei Temperaturen zwischen 600 und 1200°C durchgeführt. Die Messungen erfolgten bei Normaldruck und verschiedenen Sauerstoffugazitäten. Diese Messungen wurden mit den Ergebnissen von Schmelzexperimenten verglichen. Aus den Schmelzexperimenten wurden Informationen zur Verteilung der Schmelze im Gestein und zum Schmelzanteil in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur gewonnen. Alle Untersuchungen wurden am gleichen Gestein unter den selben experimentellen Bedingungen durchgeführt. Während des partiellen Schmelzens gibt es einen sprunghaften Anstieg der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit um ein bis zwei Größenordnungen. Dieser sprunghafte Anstieg kann mit der Bildung eines vollständigen Netzwerkes an Schmelze erklärt werden, wobei die Schmelzfilme als Leitungspfade wirken. Es konnte festgestellt werden, daß zur Ausbildung der Gleichgewichtsmorphologie während des partiellen Schmelzens sehr lange Zeiten erforderlich sind. Wird die elektrische Leitfähigkeit am Beginn des Schmelzens bei konstanter Temperatur als Funktion der Zeit gemessen, so treten erst nach mehr als 200 h keine Änderungen der Leitfähigkeit mehr auf. Mit Hilfe eines modifizierten Brick-Layer-Modells (MBLM) kann die elektrische Leitfähigkeit als Funktion des Schmelzanteils berechnet werden. Dieses Modell gilt für den Fall, daß die Schmelze ein vollständiges Netzwerk entlang von Komgrenzen bildet. Mit dem Modell und den Ergebnissen aus den Schmelzexperimenten konnten theoretische Kurven der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit berechnet werden, die mit den gemessenen Kurven der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit verglichen werden können. Obwohl bereits bei Beginn des Schmelzens die Komgrenzen von Schmelze benetzt werden, wird eine vollständige Vernetzung der Schmelze erst bei höheren Temperaturen und größeren Schmelzanteilen erreicht. Dies kann durch Abweichungen vom morphologischen Gleichgewicht in den partiell geschmolzenen Proben gedeutet werden. Die Ergebnisse stützen die Annahme, daß eine Zone hoher Leitfähigkeit unter den zentralen Anden durch große Mengen an Magma verursacht wird. Mit dem MBLM konnte abgeschätzt werden, daß ca. 20% Schmelze notwendig sind, um die im Gelände mit der Magnetotellurik gemessenen Leitfähigkeiten zu erklären.
    Description: The purpose of the present work is to achieve a better understanding of rocks during partial melting. Therefore the electrical conductivity of crustal rocks during partial melting was compared to the distribution of melt in the rock sample and to the melt fraction as a function of temperature. Impedance spectroscopic investigations of the electrical conductivity were conducted at temperatures between 600 and 1200°C, normal pressure and at different oxygen fugacities. These measurements were compared with the results of melting experiments. The melting experiments were performed under the same experimental conditions and the same rock sample was used. The rock samples were equilibrated at the desired temperatures, quenched and investigated using thin sections. These melting experiments provide information about the distribution of melt in the rock sample and yield the melt fraction as a function of temperature. A strong increase in electrical conductivity of about two orders of magnitude is observed during partial melting. This increase could be explained by assuming the formation of an interconnected network of melt. The charge transport follows the network forming melt films at the grain boundaries. It could be established that the formation of steady state of a partially molten rock requires a long time. The conductivity was measured as a function of time at temperatures little above the solidus. Under these conditions constant conductivity values are found after 200 h.

    Description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden weitwinkelseismische Daten aus dem Land-See-kombinierten Projekt CINCA 95 ausgewertet. Die Daten wurden auf drei EW-streichenden Profilen bei 21°S, 22°S und 23.25°S registriert. Die Linien umfassen das Gebiet zwischen Peru-Chile- Trench und Westkordillere, also den Forearc-Bereich der nord-chilenischen erosiven Subduktionszone. Der Hauptteil der Daten besteht aus einer Anregerlinie auf See und einer Empfängerlinie auf Land. Ergänzend wurden Sprengungen am westlichen und östlichen Ende der Empfängerlinie durchgeführt. Aus dem Datensatz wurden in der ersten Bearbeitungsstufe mit den Methoden der Refraktionsseismik drei vp-Geschwindigkeitsmodelle erstellt, die ihre Aussage im äußeren Forearc, also dem Gebiet zwischen Rinne und Küste haben. Dabei kann folgendes festgehalten werden: • Sie zeigen die Nazca-Platte mit einem sich versteilenden Subduktionswinkel von 10° direkt nach der Subduktion auf 23-25° vor der Küste Nord-Chiles. Die subduzierte Platte zeigt, was ihren Abtauchwinkel anbelangt, keine NS-Variation. • In der Geschwindigkeitszunahme an der Oberkante der subduzierten Platte zeigt sich durchaus eine Differenz in NS-Richtung: im Norden nimmt die Geschwindigkeit von 4.5 km/s direkt nach dem Untertauchen unter die südamerikanische Platte auf 6.5 km/s auf einer Distanz von 70 km zu, während sie im Süden dazu nur noch 30 km benötigt. Diese Struktur wird als Lage erodierten und subduzierten Gesteinsmaterials zwischen den Platten interpretiert. • Bereits im westlichsten Krustenblock, also dem Teil, der heute an der Rinne zur Erosion ansteht, zeigt sich eine hohe vp-Geschwindigkeit von 5.8 km/s. Sie nimmt zur Küste hin noch auf 6.0 km/s direkt an der Oberfläche zu. Die Kruste ist im Norden deutlich differenziert. Auch dies nimmt nach Süden hin ab und so sind auf dem südlichsten Profil keine Krustenstrukturen mehr in Tiefen unterhalb von 11 km modelliert worden. • Auf den Profilen bei 21°S und 22°S wurde eine platten-parallele Diskontinuität, die die Oberkante zu einer Zone erhöhter Geschwindigkeit bildet (7.1 km/s), modelliert. Sie hat eine Neigung von 15°. Diese Diskontinuität wird im Zusammenhang mit bereits existierenden Modellen für den landseitigen Forearc als Paläo-Moho interpretiert. Das darunterliegende Gestein mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 7.0 km/s wird entsprechend als serpentinisierter oberster Mantel verstanden. • Unterhalb schließt sich eine Zone stark erniedrigter Geschwindigkeit an, die zwischen der abtauchenden Platte und der Oberplatte einen Keil bildet. Sie hat eine Geschwindigkeit von 6.4 km/s und wird als Anlagerungsort des erodierten und subduzierten Gesteins interpretiert. • Die östlich der Küste in den vp -Schnitten als Moho modellierte Diskontinuität wurde durch die vorherigen Arbeiten bestätigt und als die heutige, geophysikalische Moho interpretiert. Zur Erosion am Kontinentalrand kann folgendes festgestellt werden: • Eine Varianz im Ablauf der Erosion wird nahegelegt, kann aber nicht bewiesen werden. • Nach der hier vorgelegten Interpretation findet die Erosion in der Hauptsache frontal statt. In einem zweiten Bearbeitungsschritt wurde die seeseitige Spurdichte von 160 m zu einer CMP-Stapelung der Weitwinkeldaten ausgenutzt. Bei der Bearbeitung der Daten wurden ausschließlich Tools der Standard-Reflexionsseismik verwendet. Dabei sollte ein Strukturabbild ähnlich dem aus der Standard-Reflexionsseismik bekannten entstehen. Diese Art des Prozessierens von Daten wurde bisher auf einen Datensatz mit so großer Apertur noch nicht angewandt. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß mit einem unkonventionellen Ansatz durchaus Zusatzinformationen aus den Daten gewonnen werden können: die Oberkante der Niedergeschwindigkeitszone sowie die ozeanische Moho konnten auf dem nördlichsten Profil bestätigt werden, die platten-parallel liegende Struktur sowie die ozeanische Moho konnten auf dem mittleren Profil bestätigt werden und auf dem südlichsten zeigte sich, dass die Unterkante der ozeanischen Kruste weiter nach Osten hin detektiert werden konnte, als durch die refraktionsseismische Bearbeitung möglich war.
    Description: In this thesis wide-angle seismic data from the on-shore/off-shore CINCA 95project were analysed. The data set was recorded on three E-W profiles at 21°S, 22°S und 23.25°S. These profiles cover the region between the Peru-Chile trench and the Western Cordillera, i.e. the forearc of the north-Chile subduction zone. The north-Chile margin is an example of a non-accreting, eroding continental margin. The data set mainly consists of three off-shore lines of airgun shots and on-shore receiver lines. Additional chemical shots were performed at the ends of the receiver lines. A vp-velocity model was derived for each profile using seismic refraction interpretation methods. The models are well constrained in the outer forearc, i.e. the region between the trench and the coast line. Major results are summarized as follows. • The models show the Nazca plate subducting at an angle of 10°near the trench, increasing to 23-25° near the coast. There is no N-S variation in the behaviour of the subduction angle. • However, a N-S variation in the lateral velocity increase at the top of the subducted plate can be derived. On the northernmost profile the velocity increases from 4.5 km/s at the trench to 6.5 km/s, 70 km E of the trench, whereas on the southernmost profile, this velocity increase occurs over a distance of only 30 km. This structure is interpreted as a layer of eroded and subducted material. • In the westernmost portion of the continental crust, where erosion occurs, a high vp-velocity of 5.8 km/s is found. It increases to 6.0 km/s towards the coast. In the north the crust is more differentiated. This differentiation weakens southwards and on the southernmost profile no additional crustal structure in the upper plate was modelled beneath 11 km depth. • On the profiles at 21°S and 22°S a discontinuity parallel to the subducting plate was modelled, representing the top of a high velocity (7.1 km/s) zone. The discontinuity dips at an angle of 15°. On the basis of an existing model for the on-shore part of the forearc this discontinuity is interpreted as a paleo-Moho. The high velocity zone is thus interpreted to be serpentinized uppermost mantle. • The high velocity zone is followed by a low velocity zone, which forms a wedge between the subducting plate and the overriding plate. It has a velocity of 6.4 km/s and is interpreted as a depot for the eroded and subducted material. • The Moho east of the coast is confirmed by former studies in the area and interpreted as the recent geophysical Moho of the South American continent. Concerning erosion at a continental margin the following can be noted. • An episodical character of erosion is implied by the models but cannot be proven. • The interpretation presented in this thesis implies frontal erosion along the Peru-Chile trench in this region. For further interpretation the dense shot line off-shore (160 m shot interval) was utilized for a CMP-stack of the wide-angle data. This was achieved with standards tools used in the processing of near- vertical incidence reflection data. The goal was to achieve a structural image similar to that which can be obtained from standard near-vertical incidence data. So far, this kind of processing has not been used for data with such a large aperture. Using this non-conventional approach some further information could be drawn from the data set. On the profile at 21°S the upper boundary of the low velocity wedge between the plates could be confirmed as well as the oceanic Moho. On the profile at 22°S the plate parallel structure as well as the oceanic Moho could be confirmed. On the profile at 23.25°S, with the help of the CMP processing, the subducting oceanic Moho could be traced further east than in the velocity model which was derived using standard seismic refraction interpretation methods.

    Description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die Ergebnisse des refraktionsseismischen Experimentes PISCO'94 [Proyecto de Investigaciones Sismológicas de la Cordillera Occidental 1994] präsentiert, das 1994 vom Sonderforschungsbereich 267 "Deformationsprozesse in den Anden" im Andensegment 21-24°SZ 67-70°W durchgeführt wurde. Das Experiment knüpfte an ein in den 80er-Jahren vermessenes Netz refraktionsseismischer Profile an. Das Ziel der neuen Messungen war die Bestimmung der Lithosphärenstruktur im Bereich des magmatischen Bogens und seiner Nachbargebiete. Zu diesem Zweck wurde ein 300 km langes N-S streichendes Profil mit 4 Schußpunkten am westlichen Rand des magmatischen Bogens, der Westkordillere, vermessen. Weiterhin wurde ein neues W-E streichendes Profil, welches bei 23°30'S von der Krustenkordillere bis zur Westkordillere reicht, beobachtet. Bereits früher vermessene Profile in der Präkordillere wurden durch Gegenbeobachtungen bzw. weitere Schußpunkte ergänzt. Aus den abgeleiteten ein- und zweidimensionalen Modellierungen wurde ein dreidimensionales Übersichtsmodell für das Untersuchungsgebiet erstellt. Im Forearc-Bereich bestätigt es im wesentlichen die Ergebnisse früherer refraktionsseismischer Untersuchugen: Die Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit der Kruste nimmt von 6.6 km/s unter der Küstenkordillere auf 6.2 km/s unter der Präkordillere ab. Die Moho der subduzierten ozeanischen Platte wird in ca. 40 km Tiefe unter der Küstenkordillere beobachtet. Die ursprüngliche kontinentale Moho wurde stark überarbeitet und ist seismisch nicht eindeutig zu bestimmen. Eine Diskontinuität in 10-12 km Tiefe unter der Küstenkordillere, die unter der Präkordillere bei ca. 20 km Tiefe liegt, wird als Grenze zwischen Ober- und Unterkruste angesehen. In 20 km Tiefe unter der Küstenkordillere befindet sich ein Bereich hoher Geschwindigkeit, der als Basis der kontinentalen Kruste interpretiert wird. Dieser Bereich läßt sich in die Präkordillere hinein verfolgen, wo er bei ca. 35-40 km Tiefe liegt. Der Bereich darunter weist bis in ca. 60 km Tiefe Krustengeschwindigkeiten (vp 〈 7.5 km/s) auf. Dies könnte durch hydratisiertes Material des peridotitischen Mantelkeils erklärt werden. Die Natur einer markanten, in 60-70 km Tiefe liegenden Diskontinuität, an der die Geschwindigkeit regional auf über 7.9 km/s zunimmt und die als "Moho" bezeichnet wird, ist unklar. Vermutlich handelt es sich um die Oberkante einer Übergangszone zwischen Asthenosphäre und Lithosphäre. Die für die magmatischen Bogen aus seismologischen und gravimetrischen Untersuchungen abgeleitete Krustendicke von ca. 70 km wird durch die neuen refraktionsseismischen Daten nicht bestätigt Bis in eine Tiefe von 60 km wurden keine Mohoreflexionen beobachtet. Jedoch können die seismischen Diskontinuitäten der Präkordillere, insbesondere die Grenze zwischen Ober- und Unterkruste in ca. 20 km Tiefe, in die Westkordillere hinein verfolgt werden. Bis in 45-60 km Tiefe überschreitet die Geschwindigkeit der beobachteten seismischen Diskontinuitäten 7.5 km/s nicht Die Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit ist mit 5.9-6.0 km/s gering. Im Streichen des magmatischen Bogens ändern sich Krustenstruktur und Geschwindigkeitsverteilung im Übergangsbereich von steiler zu flacher Subduktion. Im Norden des Untersuchungsgebietes wird eine stark strukturierte Kruste mit z.T. extremen Niedriggeschwindigkeitszonen und starker Dämpfung seismischer Wellen beobachtet. Eine plausible Erklärung dafür ist die Existenz partieller Schmelzen in der Kruste. Als Quelle des extremen Schwerehochs, das von Calama südöstlich streicht, wurde Material mit Geschwindigkeiten von 〉 6.4 km/s in 2-10 sowie 15-20 km Tiefe bestimmt. Im südlichen Teil des Untersuchungsgebietes dagegen ist die Kruste des magmatischen Bogens relativ unstrukturiert und weist keine erhöhte Dämpfung mehr auf. Als Ursache für diese Differenzen sowie das Zurückversetzen des magmatischen Bogens südlich von 23°S wird eine (prä-neogene) dünne und harte Kruste im südlichen Teil des Untersuchungsgebietes angesehen.
    Description: The object of this paper is the presentation of the results of the seismic refraction experiment PISCO'94 [Proyecto de Investigaciones Sismológicas de la Cordillera Occidental 1994], carried out in 1994 by the Collaborative Research Center 267 "Deformation Processes in the Andes" in the Andean segment 21-24°S/ 67-70°N. The experiment continued a net of seismic refraction profiles measured in the 80s. The aim of the new measurements was to investigate the crustal structure of the magmatic arc region and its vicinity. A N-S-running profile, 300 km long with 4 shotpoints, was measured along the western margin of the magmatic arc, the Western Cordillera. Furthermore a new W-E profile at 23°30'S was observed, which reaches from the Coastal Cordillera to the Western Cordillera. Complementary shotpoints and reversed observations to earlier profiles in the Precordillera were realized. From the derived 1- and 2- dimensional models a generalized three dimensional model was produced. In the forearc region it confirms essentially the results of earlier seismic refraction studies. The average P-wave velocity of the crust decreases from 6.6 km/s beneath the Coastal Cordillera to 6.2 km/s beneath the Precordillera. The Moho of the downgoing oceanic plate is observed at about 40 km depth beneath the Coastal Cordillera. The original continental Moho was strongly modified and cannot be clearly determined by seismic data. The discontinuity in 10-12 km depth beneath the Coastal Cordillera, downgoing to about 20 km depth beneath the Precordillera, is interpreted as boundary between upper and lower crust. A high velocity zone at about 20 km depth beneath the Coastal Cordillera is interpreted as base of the continental crust This zone can be continued to a depth of 35-40 km beneath the Precordillera. The region below is characterized down to about 60 km depth by crustal velocities (vp 〈7.5 km/s). One explanation could be hydrated material of the peridotitic mantle wedge. In 60-70 km depth the velocity increases regionally to values above 7.9 km/s. The nature of this prominent discontinuity, called "Moho", is unclear. It indicates probably the top of a lithosphere/asthenosphere transition zone. A crustal thickness of 70 km for the magmatic arc, derived from seismological and gravimetric investigations, is not confirmed by the new seismic refraction datas. There are no Moho observations down to 60 km, but the seismic discontinuities of the Precordillera can be traced into the Western Cordillera. A discontinuitiy at about 20 km depth is interpreted as top of the lower crust, which reaches to about 40 km depth. Down to 45-60 km the velocities of the observed seismic discontinuities do not exceed 7.5 km/s. The average velocity is low (5.9-6.0 km/s). Along the strike of the magmatic arc crustal structure and velocity are changing in the transition zone from steep to flat subduction. In the north of the area under investigation a strongly structured crust with zones of extremely low velocities and strong attenuation of seismic waves is observed. This could be explained by partial melts in the crust. As source of the gravity high SE of Calama material with velocities 〉 6.4 km/s in 2-10 and 15-20 km depth was determined. In contrary, the crust of the southern part of the area is relatively uniform without high attenuation. These differences as well as the rebound of the magmatic arc south of 23°S could be caused by a pre-neogene thin and hard crust in the southern part of the area under investigation.

    Description: Von den bisher weitgehend unbearbeiteten, Oberkretazischen Gesteinsfolgen im Raum Santander (Provinz Kantabrien, Spanien) wurde der Zeitabschnitt Turon bis Unter-Coniac lithologisch, sedimentologisch sowie stratigraphisch (Bio-, Event-, Sequenzstratigraphie) detailliert bearbeitet. Die Sedimente eines gemischten, siliziklastisch/karbonatischen Systemes wurden in einem, durch starke synsedimentäre Tektonik geprägten, E-W-streichenden Meeresraum abgelagert, der nach Westen graduell in die flachmarine Asturianische Kreide überging und im Süden durch den, aus paläozoischem Basement bestehendenden Cabuemiga Rücken begrenzt war. Im Norden markierte das Liencres Hoch die Grenze. Dieser Sedimentationsraum repräsentierte einen eigenständigen Beckenbereich, für den die Bezeichnung Nordkantabrisches Becken (NKB) eingeführt wird. Das NKB entstand in der Unterkreide (Valangin/Hauterive) durch Blockrotation an E-W-streichenden Lineamenten. Strukturell trennt die N-S-streichende Rio Miera-Flexur im Osten das NKB vom Basko-Kantabrischen Becken. Proximale Sedimente sind durch das Auftreten von (glaukonitischen) Knollenkalken charakterisiert. Die eher distalen Ablagerungsräume zeichnen sich durch zyklische Kalk/Mergel-Wechselfolgen aus. Während regressiver Phasen treten Allochthonite auf (Calciturbidite). Im bearbeiteten Zeitraum Turon und Unter-Coniac führen möglicherweise fünf Phasen verstärkter differentieller Subsidenz (tektonische Aktivitätsphasen ?) zu Reliefakzentuierung und, damit einhergehend, zur Umgestaltung des Sedimentationsraumes. Besonders ein Ereignis im Unter-Coniac (deformis-Zone) kann offensichtlich in weiten Teilen Europas erkannt werden. Die biostratigraphische Gliederung wird mit Ammoniten und im höheren Ober-Turon und Unter-Coniac mit Inoceramen durchgeführt. Das basale Unter-Turon fehlt. Die Sedimentation setzt vermutlich erst in der höchsten devonense-Zvne des unteren Unter-Turon ein. Das obere Unter-Turon ist durch die Zone des Mammites nodosoides gekennzeichnet. Das Mittel-Turon kann in die Zonen des Kamerunoceras turoniense, Romaniceras kallesi, Romaniceras ornatissimum und Romaniceras deverianum untergliedert werden. Im Ober-Turon werden Faunenzonen ausgehalten (Assemblage Zones). Es können (in aufsteigender Reihenfolge) die AZ des Subprionocyclus neptuni/ Romaniceras deverianum, die AZ des Mytiloides incertus/Subprionocyclus neptuni und die AZ des Mytiloides scupini/Prionocyclus germari erkannt werden. Das Unter-Coniac wird in eine untere Zone des Cremnoceramus rotundatus und eine obere Zone des Cremnoceramus deformis unterteilt. Zehn Bio-Events und Akmen werden erkannt und auf ihr Potential für die regionale wie überregionale Korrelation geprüft. Dies sind das Mytiloides-Akme [Unter-Turon (?)]; das K. turoniense/Mytiloides-Event (turoniense-Zone), das R. kallesi-Event (kallesi-Zone), das R. ornatissimum-Event (ornatissimum-Zone), das R. Deverianum-Event (neptuni/deverianum- AZ), das Mytiloides incertus/Mieraster leskei (klein)-Event (incertus/neptuni-AZ), das M. Leskei (groß)-Event (scupini/germari-AZ), das Sternotaxis plana-Event (scupini/ germari- AZ), das Didymotis I-Event (scupini/ germari-AZ) und das Didymotis II-Event (Turon/Coniac-Grenze). Für eine Korrelation nach Deutschland oder England eignen sich besonders das turoniense/ Mytiloides-Event, das deverianum-Event sowie das incertus/leskei (klein)- und leskei (groß)-Event. Das plana-Event kann vermutlich nach Norddeutschland korreliert werden. Sechs sedimentäre Sequenzgrenzen (SB) werden im Zeitraum Turon bis Unter-Coniac erkannt und datiert. SB Tu 1 liegt vermutlich im Unter-Turon und kann wegen eines ausgeprägten Hiatus im Cenoman/Turon-Grenzbereich datiert werden. Die stratigraphischen Positionen der folgenden Sequenzgrenzen können wie folgt datiert werden: SB Tu 2: obere turoniense-Zone (Mittel-Turon), SB Tu 3: deverianum-Zont (höchstes Mittel-Turon), SB Tu 4: Top neptuni/deverianum- AZ (Ober-Turon), SB Tu 5: untere scupini/ germari-AZ (Ober-Turon), SB Co 1: höhere deformis-Zone des Unter-Coniac. Die Sedimentationszyklen werden als "3rd order cycles" sensu Haq et al. (1988) interpretiert. Die stratigraphische Position der Sequenzen werden unter kurzer Diskussion der jeweiligen regionalen Biostratigraphie mit sequentiellen Gliederungen für Tunesien, Spanien, Frankreich, Südengland und Deutschland (Westfalen, Niedersachsen, Sachsen) mit nur mäßigem Erfolg verglichen. Die "global cycle chart" erweist sich als Standard für untauglich. Schlüsselwörter: Nordkantabrien, Spanien, Nordkantabrisches Becken, Turon, Unter-Coniac, tektono-sedimentäre Entwicklung, Biostratigraphie, Eventstratigraphie, Sequenzstratigraphie, überregionaler Vergleich.
    Description: The Lower Turonian to Lower Coniacian succession of the Upper Cretaceous series from the Santander area (Cantabria, Spain) was investigated in detail by means of lithology, bio-, event and sequence stratigraphy. The sediments of a mixed, siliciclastic/calcareous system were deposited in an E-W trending basin that was bordered to the South by the palaeozoic Cabuemiga High. The northern boundary formed the Liencres High, a palaeo-structure that had its position in the Bay of Biscay not far away from the present day shoreline. Towards the West, a connection to the shallower, Asturian Cretaceous basins existed. For this individual basin the term "North Cantabrian Basin" is suggested herein. It developed during the Early Cretaceous (Valanginian/Hauterivian) as a result of block rotation along E-W trending major faults. The NCB is structurally separated from the Basco-Cantabrian Basin by the N-S trending Rio Miera Flexure in the East. Proximal sediments are characterized by (glauconitic) nodular to massively bedded limestones. In distal environments, marl/limestone alternations accumulated. During phases of regression, allochthonites with only limited geographic extent were shed into the basin. Within the Turonian to Early Coniacian, five phases of accelerated, differential subsidence (tectonic phases ?) were recognized. Especially the Early Coniacian movement (deformis Zone) can be observed in wide parts of Europe. Biostratigraphic subdivision is mainly based on ammonites, and, in the Late Turonian and Early Coniacian, on inoceramids. Lower Lower Turonian strata are missing and sedimentation started presumably in the upper part of the Watinoceras devonense Zone of the early Early Turonian. The late Early Turonian is represented by the Mammites nodosoides Zone. The Middle Turonian can be subdivided into the zones of (in ascending order) Kamerunoceras turoniense, Romaniceras kallesi, Romaniceras ornatissimum, and Romaniceras deverianum. The Late Turonian is subdivided into assemblage zones (AZ). These are (in ascending order) the AZ of Subprionocyclus neptuni/Romaniceras deverianum, the AZ of Mytiloides incertus/Subprionocyclus neptuni and the AZ of Mytiloides scupini/Prionocyclus germari. The latter correlates with the scupini Zone of Germany. The Early Coniacian is characterized by a zone of Cremnoceramus rotundatus and a higher zone of Cremnoceramus deformis. Ten events are recognized and dated. These are the Mytiloides-acme [Lower Turonian (?)], the Kamerunoceras turoniense/Mytiloides event (turoniense Zone), the Romaniceras kallesi event (kallesi Zone), the Romaniceras ornatissimum event (ornatissimum Zone), the Romaniceras deverianum event (neptuni/deverianum AZ), the Mytiloides incertus/Micraster leskei (small) event (incertus/neptuni the Micraster leskei (large) event (scupini/germari AZ), the Sternotaxis plana event (scupini/germari AZ), the Didymotis I event (scupini/germari KL) and the Didymotis II event (Turonian/Coniacian boundary). These events can, to some extent, be used for interbasinal correlation. Especially the turoniense/Mytiloides, the deverianum, the plana and the Didymotis events can be correlated to northern Germany. The incertus/leskei (small) and the leskei (large) events can be traced to England. Six sedimentary sequence boundaries (SB) were recognized and dated. These are: SB Tu I : Lower Turonan, SB Tu 2: late turoniense Zone, SB Tu 3: deverianum Zone, SB Tu 4: top neptuni/deverianum KL, SB Tu 5: early scupini/germari AZ, SB Co 1: late deformis Zone. The sedimentary sequencec, delimited by the SBs, are interpreted to represent 3rd order cycles sensu Haq et al. (1988). The position of the sequences is (based on a brief discussion of the reginal biostratigraphic subdivisions) compared with cycle charts from Tunisia, Spain, France, southern England, and Germany (Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Saxony) with only limited results. The "global" cycle chart appears to be not helpful for detailed sequence correlation and should be abandoned as a standard.

    Description: At the beginning of Late Jurassic both the Lochen (LA) and the Cracow areas (CA) were palaeotopographic highs in an epicontinental basin located at the stable northern margin of the Tethyan Ocean. The topographically high position of the LA was probably caused by intensive carbonate production which proceeded on a small sea-floor bulge located close to the boundary between middle and lower parts of the low-angle carbonate ramp. Lack of deep structural control of this rise caused prograding facial unification during the Oxfordian and Kimmeridgian and led to gradual disappearance of the LA individuality in relation to the neighbouring areas. The topographical high of the CA resulted from anomalously low subsidence rate in comparison to the adjacent areas which has lasted at least for the whole Oxfordian. Low subsidence directly gave rise to the development of a barrier (so-called Cracovian Platform) which separated the interior basin in the north from the deeper parts of the basin in the south. Topography of the Polish part of epicontinental basin along the Czestochowa-Cracow line corresponds to the low-gradient rimmed carbonate shelf which graded laterally (to the northeast and east) into the low-angle carbonate ramp. Stratigraphic subdivision of Upper Jurassic strata is very precise in the LA and rather poor in the CA due to scarcity of ammonites in the massive facies which predominates in the latter area. However, ammonite fauna from both areas belongs to the same German-Polish Submediterranean Subprovince which allows to attempt the correlation of lithologies and determination of factors which controlled deposition. Both the studied areas show distinct differences in the development of carbonate buildups. In the LA the main components of carbonate buildups during whole Oxfordian and the Early Kimmeridgian were siliceous sponges and microbolites whilst in the CA the flourishing growth of microbolites and gradual decline of siliceous sponges domination took place during the Late Oxfordian. The sediment was initially diversified into the two varieties: that formed by siliceous sponges and the microbolites incipient rigid framework, and the soft mud. In such carbonate buildups stromatactis cavities might have developed even in early diagenesis due to internal erosion of the soft mud. The principal reason of the internal erosion was turbulent water flow through the sediment. However, in generally low-energy sedimentary environments such flow could be triggered by submarine gravity flows or strong bottom currents. Pseudonodular textures encountered in carbonate buildups in both the areas resulted from shallow-burial diagenesis. During the burial diagenesis some parts of the sediment has been disintegrated under the pressure of overlying strata owing to the existing open spaces and different susceptibility to compaction showed by the incipient rigid framework and the soft sediment. Deposition in the LA was controlled mainly by sea-level pulses and ecological factors. In the CA principal control was provided by subsidence rate supported by synsedimentary tectonics, sea-level changes and ecological factors. All these controlling factors were variable in time which provoked changes in carbonate production rates from intensive, aggradational growth of the buildups to drowning of the carbonate ramp and rimmed shelf. The drowning of carbonate ramp on which the LA was located took place at the Oxfordian/Kimmeridgian break. It is documented by spectacular development of redeposited pelagites of skeletal-calciturbidites type with abundant fragments of Saccocoma sp. which have appeared for the first time in mass quantities in the Upper Jurassic. By analogy, it can be inferred that in the CA similar Saccocoma-calciturbidites prove the drowning of rimmed shelf related to the same trangressive event at the Oxfordian/Kimmeridgian break.
    Description: Zu Beginn des Ober-Jura waren das Lochengebiet (Schwäbische Alb) und der Raum Krakau (Südpolen) übereinstimmend Hochgebiete eines epikontinentalen Beckens auf dem passiven nördlichen Schelf der Tethys. Die topographische Hochposition des Lochengebietes war vermutlich durch eine hohe Karbonat-Produktion bedingt, welche auf einer schmalen submarinen Schwelle nahe dem Übergangsbereich zwischen unterem und mittlerem Abschnitt einer flach geneigten Karbonatrampe erfolgte. Während des Oxfordiums und Kimmeridgiums war die Lochenschwelle tektonisch inaktiv und ermöglichte einen zunehmenden Faziesausgleich mit den benachbarten Gebieten und führte dadurch zu einer successiven Aufgabe ihrer individuellen Entwicklung. Die Hochposition der Krakau-Region resultierte aus ihrer im Vergleich zur Umgebung ungewöhnlich geringen Subsidenzrate, welche mindestens während des gesamten Oxfordiums anhielt. Die geringe Subsidenz war unmittelbare Ursache für die Entwicklung einer Barriere (die sogenannte Krakau-Plattform), welche das seichtere Innenschelf-Becken im Norden von den tieferen Beckenanteilen im Süden trennte. Die Topographie des polnischen Anteils dieses epikontinentalen Beckens entsprach entlang der Czestochowa-Krakau-Linie einem „low-gradient rimmed carbonate shelf, der nach Nordosten und Osten lateral in eine flache Karbonatrampe überging. Die stratigraphische Gliederungsmöglichkeit der Ober-Jura-Schichfolge ist im Lochengebiet gut und feinauflösend, in der Krakau-Region dagegen, in der die Massenfazies vorherrscht, aufgrund der selteneren Ammonitenfunde zum Teil problematisch. Ungeachtet dessen, gehören die Ammoniten-Vergesellschaftungen beider Regionen derselben deutsch-polnischen, submediterranen Faunensubprovinz an und ermutigen zu einer Korrelation beider lithologischer Abfolgen und einer vergleichenden Abstraktion der Steuermechanismen für die Sedimentation. Beide Gebiete zeigen deutliche Unterschiede in der Entwicklung von karbonatischen Buildups. Im Lochen-Gebiet stellen während des Oxfordiums und Unter-Kimmeridgiums Kieselschwämme und Mikrobolithe die Hauptkomponenten der Riffstrukturen, während in der Krakau-Region die Bedeutung der Mikrobolithe und Kieselschwämme während des Ober-Oxfordiums successive abnimmt. Ursprünglich erfolgte eine Differenzierung der Riffstrukturen in einen autochthonen Hartsubstrat-Anteil, in dem Kieselschwämme und Mikrobolithe eine rigides Gerüst stellten, und in schlammiges Weichsubstrat. Innerhalb der Riffkörper konnten sich wohl frühdiagenetisch durch die interne Erosion der Schlamm-Anteile Stromatactis-Gefüge bilden. Grundsätzlich kann eine solche interne Erosion auf turbulente Porenwasserströme zurückgeführt werden. In den vorliegenden sedimentären Stillwasser-Milieus könnte ein solcher Porenwasserstrom durch submarine Schuttströme oder starke Bodenströmungen ausgelöst worden sein. Pseudonodulare Strukturen, wie sie in den Buildups beider Untersuchungsgebiete angetroffen wurden, werden durch eine flache Versenkungsdiagenese erklärt. Während dieser Vorgänge wurden unter dem Druck der Sedimentauflast aufgrund des vorhandenen, offenen Porenraumes und der unterschiedlichen Kompaktion von primär zementierten Riffkalken und des mergeligen Weichsubstrates Karbonatanteile gelöst. Das Sedimentationsgeschehen wurde in der Lochen-Region vor allem durch Meeresspiegel-Schwankungen und ökologische Parameter beeinflußt. In der Krakau-Region konnte als hauptsächlicher Kontrollfaktor die Subsidenzrate erkannt werden, in deren Gefolge synsedimentäre Tektonik, Änderungen von Meeresspiegel und der ökologischen Faktoren einhergingen. Veränderungen dieser Steuerfaktoren in der Zeit beeinflußten jeweils die Rate der Karbonatproduktion von intensiv (Aggradation der Buildups) bis zum Ertrinken der Karbonatrampe bzw. des Schelfrandes. Das Abtauchen der Karbonatrampe setzte in der Lochen-Region an der Oxfordium-Kimmeridgium-Wende ein. Es wird durch eine auffällige sedimentäre Entwicklung dokumentiert: Resedimentation pelagischer Kalke (skeletal calciturbidites), die häufig Saccocoma-Reste enthalten. Erste Massenvorkommen von Saccocoma treten in der Erdgeschichte im Oberjura auf. Ähnliche Saccoco/na-Kalkturbidite an der Oxfordium-Kimmeridgium-Grenze markieren in der Krakau-Region das Abtauchen des „rimmed shelf. Sie können auf dasselbe transgressive Ereignis zurückgeführt werden.

    Description: The present study considered calcareous nannofossils from material represented by outcrops of Flysch successions of the External Hellenides belt in the area of the Ionian Zone (I.Z.), northwestern Greece. The studied outcrops are located in Epirus mainland and the Ionian island Korfu. Three subdivisions have been traditionally in literature distinguished in the I.Z., the Internal, Middle and External (moving from east to the west), each of which was subsequently recognized in the Flysch deposits as well. Aim of the study was, a refinement of the current biostratigraphic resolution of the area through detailed taxonomic descriptions and consequently, a reliably better correlation of the investigated sedimentary deposits with the help of calcareous nannofossils. The biostratigraphic data were also processed semiquentitatively (frequency variations and distributions), in order to accurately determine important biohorizons. For this purpose, the nannofossils were studied under the LM and the SEM, from ten closely sampled sections representing clastic sequences of all the three subdivisions of the I.Z. The investigated sections are situated at about 39° northern mid latitudes, a fact which resulted to mixed nannoflora assemblages of low and high latitudes character. The sections are namely: Elatos, Korfovouni (Internal I.Z. subdivision), Kato Despotiko, Strouga Goumenou and Ekklisia (Middle I.Z. subdivision), lower and upper Argyrotopos, National Road, Monos and Anacharavi (External I.Z. subdivision). They were found to range in age from the latest Eocene to the Early Miocene. Based on the systematic palaeontology, 107 species of calcareous nannofossils were observed and documented in the studied material. Among them, a new species Rhabdosphaera epirotica sp. nov. was described, and four recombinations were proposed. Moreover, two calcareous dinoflagellate cysts, Cervisiella saxea and Obliquipithonella sp. were reported for the first time from the I.Z. in Greece. Despite the mid latitude palaeogeographic position of the sections, all the conventional calcareous nannofossil zonal markers for the Oligocene and Early Miocene were recorded, although some in fewer abundances than in low latitudes. Improving the biostratigraphic reliability, a new zonational scheme was here developed and proposed for the Oligocene to Early Miocene interval. It was mainly established on use of redefined biohorizons and composed of five zones and five subzones following below: 1. Latest Eocene: Ericsonia formosa Partial-range Zone, 2. Oligocene: llselithina fusa / Ericsonia formosa Concurrent-range Zone, Ericsonia formosa-Reticulofenestra umbilicus/R. hillae Interval Zone, Cyclicargolithus abisectus Partial-range Zone, including the subzones: Rhabdosphaera spp. Interval Subzone, and Sphenolithus predistentus Interval Subzone, Reticulofenestra scissura Interval Zone, including the Sphenolithus delphix Abundance Subzone, and 3. Earliest Miocene: Triquetrorhabdulus spp. Partial-range Subzone Sphenolithus conicus Interval Subzone. Based on a new biohorizon of the absolute First Occurrence (FO) of llselithina fusa, the Eocene/Oligocene (E/O) boundary was identified in the lower part of the Argyrotopos section. On the absence of disc-shaped discoasters, the I. fusa biohorizon represented a better approximation of the boundary, which was clearly correlated with the other studied sections of the three subdivisions of the I.Z. The Oligocene/Miocene (O/M) boundary was identified in the Monos section located in the Plataria syncline (External I.Z.), but Early Miocene strata were recorded in the Middle I.Z. as well. This boundary was placed at the Last Common Occurrence (LCO) biohorizon of the Reticulofenestra scissura. Moreover, six associate bioevents were reported near the O/M boundary, among them the highest occurrence of I. fusa, located above the boundary, in the Anacharavi section of Korfu island (western part of the External I.Z.). For the first time were evaluated reworked together with „autochton“ taxa of calcareous nannofossils in Greece. Maximum diversity values along each of the studied sections, have shown increased reworking and erosional processes in the Internal subdivision of the I.Z. than in the Middle and the External ones. This is interpreted to be connected with the higher tectonic instability along the Pindos thrust to the east, in relation to the central and western parts of the Ionian basin mainly during the Oligocene.
    Description: Die der vorliegenden Arbeit zugrundeliegenden kalkigen Nannofossilien stammen von Flyschabfolgen der Externen Helleniden (Ionische Zone) Nordwest-Griechenlands.So wurden in die Untersuchung Aufschlüsse des Festlandes in Epirus und der Ionischen Insel Korfu aus dem stratigraphischen Intervall vom obersten Eozän bis zum untersten Miozän einbezogen. Die Ionische Zone (I.Z.) wird traditionell von Osten nach Westen in die Interne, Mittlere und Externe Subzone unterteilt. Diese Einteilung läßt sich auch auf die Flyschablagerungen übertragen. Ziel der Arbeit ist eine Verfeinerung der bestehenden Biostratigraphie durch detaillierte taxonomische Beschreibungen, um damit eine bessere Korrelation der untersuchten Ablagerungen mit Hilfe der kalkigen Nannofossilien zu erreichen. Mit einer halbquantitativen Erfassung der biostratigraphischen Daten (Häufigkeitsvariation und -Verteilung) gelingt es darüberhinaus, einzelne Biohorizonte genauer zu definieren. Zu diesem Zwecke wurde das kalkige Nannoplankton von zehn eng-beprobten Profilen aus klastischen Abfolgen aller drei Subzonen der I. Z. unter dem Licht- und Elektronenmikroskop (REM) untersucht. Die Profile im einzelnen sind: Elatos und Korfovouni (Interne Subzone), Kato Despotiko, Strouga Goumenou und Ekklisia (Mittlere Subzone), Unter bzw. Ober Argyrotopos, National Road, Monos und Anacharavi (Externe Subzone). Zur Ablagerungszeit befanden sich die untersuchten Profile in einer nördlichen Paläobreite um 39°, was zu einer gemischten Nannoflora aus charakteristischen Vertretern niedriger und höherer Breiten führte. In dem untersuchten Material konnten insgesamt 107 Spezies von kalkigem Nannoplankton gefunden und dokumentiert werden. Die Art Rhabdosphaera epirotica nov. sp.wird neu beschrieben und vier Rekombinationen werden vorgeschlagen. Darüberhinaus konnten zwei kalkige Dinoflagellatenzysten Cervisiella saxea und Obliquipithonella sp. zum ersten Mal in der I.Z. nachgewiesen werden. Trotz der paläogeographischen Position der Profile in mittleren Paläobreitenbereich konnten alle konventionellen Zonenleitformen des kalkigen Nannoplanktons für das Oligozän und das Untermiozän gefunden werden, einige davon jedoch in geringerer Häufigkeit als in den niedrigeren Breiten. Durch die Verbesserung der biostratigraphischen Genauigkeit wird hier ein neues mediterranes Zonenschema für das Oligozän und das Untermiozän entwickelt, das im wesentlichen auf neu definierten Biohorizonten basiert. Es enthält fünf Zonen und fünf Subzonen: 1. Jüngstes Eozän: Ericsonia formosa Partial-range Zone, 2. Oligozän: llselithina fusa/Ericsonia formosa Concurrent-range Zone, Ericsonia formosa-Reticulofenestra umbilicus/R. hillae Interval Zone, Cyclicargolithus abisectus Partial-range Zone, gegliedert in den Subzonen: Rhabdosphaera spp. Interval Subzone, und Sphenolithus predistentus Interval Subzone, Reticulofenestra scissura Interval Zone, die eine Subzone enthält: Sphenolithus delphix Abundance Subzone, und 3. Ältestes Miozän: Triquetrorhabdulus spp. Partial-range Subzone Sphenolithus conicus Interval Subzone. Mit dem ersten Auftreten (FO) von llselithina fusa wird ein neuer Biohorizont definiert, mit dem die Grenze Eozän/Oligozän (E/O) in dem unteren Teil des Argyrotopos-Profils nachgewiesen wird. Trotz der Abwesenheit von scheibenförmigen Discoasteriden läßt sich nun diese Grenze mit dem I. fusa-Biohorizont besser fassen und kann eindeutig mit den Profilen in den beiden anderen Subzonen der I.Z. korreliert werden. Die Oligozän/Miozän-Grenze (O/M) konnte im Monos-Profil der Plataria-Synklinale (Externe I.Z.) charakterisiert werden. Untermiozän ließ sich aber auch in der Mittleren Subzone nachweisen. Die Grenze O/M ist durch das letzte Vorkommen (LCO) von Reticulofenestra scissura bestimmt. Sechs assoziierte Bioevents fallen in diesen Grenzbereich, darunter im Anacharavi-Profil der Insel Korfu (Westteil der Externen Subzone) das jüngste Vorkommen von I. fusa, unmittelbar über der Grenze O/M. Zum erstem Mal für Griechenland konnten aufgearbeitete Taxa von kalkigen Nannofossilien zusammen mit den autochthonen Taxa nachgewiesen werden. Ein Vergleich der maximalen Diversitätswerte in den untersuchten Profilen zeigt eine signifikant höhere Aufarbeitungsrate in der Internen Subzone gegenüber der Mittleren und Externen Subzonen. Dieser Umstand dürfte mit der höheren tektonischen Instabilität entlang der Pindos-Decken-Front im Osten des Arbeitsgebietes Zusammenhängen.

    Description: Im nördlichen Bereich der Provinz Kantabrien (Nordspanien) wurden Sedimente der "Mittelkreide" (Oberalb und Cenoman) unter stratigraphischen, faziellen und sedimentologi sehen Gesichtspunkten bearbeitet. Strukturell gehört die Region zum Nordkantabrischen Becken (NCB), dessen Einsenkung mit tektonischen Bewegungen im mittleren Valangin beginnt. Das NCB ist eines der zahlreichen Sedimentbecken, die sich infolge des mesozoischen Riftings und Spreadings in der Biscaya auf dem iberischen Nordschelf bilden. Strukturgeologisch zeigt das NCB eine E/W-Ausrichtung zwischen zwei Hochgebieten im S und N (Cabuemiga-Rücken und Liencres-Hoch), die als "Santillana-Achse" bezeichnet wird. Im W grenzt das NCB an das Paläozoikum des Asturischen Massivs. Östlich Santander wird es strukturell und faziell durch die N/S-streichende Rio-Miera-Flexur vom hochsubs identen Basko-Kantabrischen Becken abgetrennt. Die Sedimentation im NCB wird stark von tektonischen Ereignissen im sich bildenden Biscaya-Ozeans beeinflußt, durch welche die Strukturierung der Schichtenfolge in sedimentäre Megasequenzen erfolgt. Im Alb und Cenoman können folgende Megasequenz-Grenzen erkannt werden, durch welche die Megasequenzen des Alb und Cenoman definiert werden: • Santander-Tectoevent (Cenoman/Turon-Grenzbereich) • Vraconian Tectoevent (hohes Oberalb) • "Mittelalb-Ereignis" ("break-up unconformity", [?hohes] Unteralb). Das Mittelalb-Ereignis fuhrt im Arbeitsgebiet zum Zerbrechen der faziell wenig differenzierten Urgon-Karbonatplattformen des Clansay (Oberapt/Unteralb) in ostvergente Kippschollen. In den entstehenden N/S-orientierten Halbgräben werden im Mittelaib fluvio-deltaische Klastika abgelagert, während auf den Hochschollen eine Verkarstung erfolgt. Im tiefen Oberalb initiiert ein transgressiver Puls die weit verbreitete Ablagerung mariner Sedimente im NCB. Dieses transgressive Ereignis ist in ganz Iberien nachzuweisen. Im Laufe des Oberalb kommt es zu einem Onlap mariner Sedimente auch auf den ehemals emergenten Hochschollen und zu einem Ausgleich des durch das Mittelalb-Ereignis erzeugten Paläoreliefs. Durch weit verbreitete Emersion des NCB's infolge tektonischer Bewegungen im oberen Oberalb (Vraconian Tectoevent) wird die sedimentäre Megasequenz des Alb beendet. Die sedimentäre Megasequenz des Cenoman beginnt im Alb/Cenoman-Grenzbereich mit der Progradation deltaischer Klastika. Die im NCB der Santillana-Achse folgend von W nach E kanalisiert werden. Dieses "Santillana-Delta" mündet im Bereich Galizano/Langre östlich Santander in das Basko-Kantabrische Becken und verzahnt sich dort mit den Prodelta-Sedimenten des Valmaseda-Deltas ("Schwarzer Flysch" der Bilbao-Region). Die differentielle Subsidenz im NCB in Folge des Vraconian Tectoevents wird von den Delta-Sedimenten ausgeglichen. Im tiefen Untercenoman (untere Mantelliceras mantelli-Zone) gestaltet eine bedeutende transgressive Faziesentwicklung das gesamte NCB in einen vollmarinen, karbonatisch dominierten Ablagerungsraum um. Dieser transgressive Puls dürfte mit der "Untercenoman-Transgression" sensu lato korrelieren. Im Cenoman können folgende Ammoniten-Biozonen erkannt werden: • Obercenoman: Eucalycoceras pentagonum-Zone, und Metoicoceras geslinianum-Zone [pars] • Mittel cenoman: [Cunningtoniceras inerme-Zone], Acanthoceras rhotomagense-Zone und A. jukesbrownei-Zone • Untercenoman: Mantelliceras mantelli-Zone und M. dixoni-Zone. Das höchste Obercenoman (oberer Teil der geslinianum-Zone und die Neocardioceras juddii-Zone) fehlt im NCB. In der oberen mantelli-Zonc des NCB etabliert sich in weiten Bereichen die flachmarine Karbonat-Fazies der Altamira-Plattform, die sich östlich der Rio-Miera-Flexur mit mächtigen Beckensedimenten (Mergel, Knollenkalke, Kalk/Mergel-Rhythmite) verzahnt. Im Mittel- bis unteren Obercenoman wird die Altamira-Plattform in drei Schritten von E nach W "ertränkt". Die prominenten Drowning-Unconformities (mineralisierte Hartgründe mit Ammoniten) werden dabei stufenweise nach W jünger. Im Obercenoman (pentagonum-Zono) ist die gesamte Altamira-Plattform ertränkt und weite Teile des NCB werden in die Beckensedimentation einbezogen. Die Ablagerungsgeschichte des Cenoman wird durch das Santander-Tectoevent in der oberen geslinianum-Zonc beendet, infolgedessen weite Teile des NCB trockenfallen. Selbst in hochsubsidenten Beckenprofilen ist der Cenoman/Turon-Grenzbereich durch eine Schicht lücke gekennzeichnet. Die fazielle Entwicklung der cenomanen Megasequenz ist durch die schubweise voranschreitende ("pulsierende") Cenoman-Transgression geprägt. Insgesamt können im Cenoman sechs Sequenzgrenzen (SB's) erkannt werden, durch die die Ablagerungssequenzen DS Ce I bis VI definiert werden. Ihre stratigraphischen Positionen sind: • SB Ce VI = obere geslinianum-Zonc • SB Ce V = Wende Mittel/Obercenoman • SB Ce IV = basale jukesbrownei-Zone • SB Ce III = hohe dixoni-Zone • SB Ce II = obere mantelli-Zone • SB Ce I = untere mantelli-Zone. Im regionalen Vergleich zeigt sich für das Cenoman eine gute Übereinstimmung mit sequentiellen Gliederungen aus dem Basko-Kantabrischen Raum. Überregionale Vergleiche dokumentieren, daß viele der Meeresspiegel-Bewegungen im Cenoman (z.B. SB Ce III, mfz in der rhotomagense-Zone, SB Ce IV, HST in der pentagonum-Zone) über weite Entfernungen korreliert werden können und wahrscheinlich eustatische Signale darstellen. Die Korrelation mit der "globalen Meeresspiegel-Kurve" (Exxon Chart) ist schlecht. Betrachtet man die im Cenoman im NCB abgelagerten Sedimente als "2nd-order cycle", so zeigt sich ein übergeordneter transgressiver Trend mit einem maximalen Onlap im Obercenoman innerhalb der mfz von DS Ce VI (pentagonum-Zone). Das NCB zeigt im Oberalb und Cenoman im biogeographischen Vergleich starke tethyale Einflüsse. Das Turrilites scheuchzerianus/Neohibolites ultimus-Evert. im tiefen Mittelcenoman des NCB korreliert in bio-, sequenz- und Isotopen-stratigraphischer Hinsicht mit dem Actinocamax primus-Event NW-Europas, womit eine eventstratigraphische Anbindung an das "temperierte" Cenoman erreicht werden kann.
    Description: Mid-Cretaceous (Upper Albian and Cenomanian) sediments in the northern part of the province of Cantabria (northern Spain) were investigated with the emphasis on stratigraphical and sedimentological aspects. Structurally, the area belongs to the North Cantabrian Basin (NCB), the depositional history of which started with distensional tectonic movements in the Mid-Valanginian. The NCB is one of the numerous sedimentary basins which developed on the north Iberian continental margin in consequence of the rifting and spreading in the Bay of Biscay during Mesozoic times. It is a gulf-like basin with an E/W-elongation ("Santillana axis"). In the south and in the north the NCB is bordered by the Cabuemiga Ridge and the Liencres High, respectively. To the west, the NCB is bordered by the Palaeozoic Asturian Massif; in the east, the N/S-trending Rio Miera Flexure forms a structural boundary to the strongly subsiding Basco-Cantabrian Basin. The depositional history of the NCB was strongly influenced by tectonic events which can be related to the evolving Biscay Ocean. These tectoevents give rise to a gross subdivison of the succession into sedimentary megasequences. Three tectonically induced megasequence boundaries can be recognized in the Albian and Cenomanian, defining the Albian and Cenomanian megasequences: • Santander-Tectoevent (Cenomanian/Turonian boundary interval) • Vraconian Tectoevent (late Late Albian) • "Middle Albian event" (break-up unconformity, [?late] Early Albian). The "Middle Albian event" caused a disintegration of the widespread Urgonian Clansay platforms (Late Aptian/Early Albian) into a palaeo-relief of eastward-dipping tilted blocks. In the N/S trending halfgrabens, fluvio-deltaic clastics were deposited during the Middle Albian, whereas the exposed tilted block crests were karstified. A strong transgressive pulse flooded the NCB in the early part of the Late Albian, giving rise to the widespread deposition of marine Upper Albian sediments. This transgressive event can also be recognised in southern Iberia and Portugal. During the later part of the Late Albian, the emergent crestal areas of the tilted blocks were onlapped by marine sediments, resulting in the filling-up of the Middle Albian palaeo-relief. Tectonic movements in the latest Albian (Vraconian tectoevent), causing emergence in wide parts of the NCB, terminated the Albian Megasequence. The Cenomanian megasequence started in the Albian/Cenomanian boundary interval with progradation of deltaic clastics, which were channelized (following the Santi liana-axis) into an eastward direction. This "Santillana Delta" flowed into the Basco-Cantabrian Basin east of Santander, where an interfingering with the prodeltaic sediments of the Valmaseda Delta ("Black Flysch" of the Bilbao area) took place. The differential subsidence in the NCB due to the Vraconian tectoevent was compensated by the deltaic sedimentation. In the lower part of the Mantelliceras mantelli Zone, a transgressive pulse flooded the NCB and led to the deposition of marine, predominantly calcareous sediments. This transgressive event is thought to correlate with the "Early Cenomanian transgression" sensu lato. In the Cenomanian succession of the NCB, the following ammonite zones can be recognized: • Late Cenomanian: Eucalycoceras pentagonum Zone and Metoicoceras geslinianum Zone [pars] • Middle Cenomanian: [Cunningtoniceras inerme Zone], Acanthoceras rhotomagense Zone and A. jukesbrownei Zone • Early Cenomanian: Mantelliceras mantelli Zone and M. dixoni-Zone. The upper part of the Upper Cenomanian (upper part of the geslinianum Zone and the Neocardioceras juddii Zone) is missing in the NCB. In the upper part of the mantelli Zone, deposition of the shallow marine carbonate sediments of the Altamira Platform became established over large areas of the NCB. In the strongly subsiding area east of the Rio Miera Flexure, thick successions of basinal sediments (marls, nodular limestones, marl/limestone rhythmites) were deposited contemporaneously. During the Middle to early Late Cenomanian, the Altamira Platform was drowned in three successive steps from east to west. The developing drowning unconformities (condensed, mineralized hardgrounds with ammonites) young towards the west, resulting in a backstepping of the Altamira Platform. In the Late Cenomanian (pentagonum Zone), all former sites of shallow marine carbonate deposition were drowned. The depositional history of the Cenomanian was terminated in the higher part of the geslinianum Zone when tectonic movements of the Santander tectoevent caused widespread emersion of the NCB. The resulting Cenomanian/Turonian boundary hiatus can be recognized both in the condensation horizons on top of the submerged platform as well as in the basinal successions. The facies development of the Cenomanian Megasequence is dominated by the pulsatory nature of the "Cenomanian transgression". Within the Cenomanian succession of northern Cantabria, six sequence boundaries can be recognized, which define six depositional (3rd-order) sequences (DS Ce I - VI). The stratigraphic positions of the sequence boundaries (SB) are as follows: • SB Ce VI = upper geslinianum Zone • SB Ce V = Middle/Late Cenomanian boundary interval • SB Ce IV = basal jukesbrownei Zone • SB Ce III = upper dixoni Zone • SB Ce II = upper mantelli Zone • SB Ce I = lower mantelli Zone. Comparison of this sequential subdivision with regional cycle charts from the Basco-Cantabrian area reveals good agreement, whereas correlation with the "global sea-level curve" (Exxon Chart) is poor. The extent to which many of the sea-level events in the Cenomanian (e.g. SB Ce III, mfz within the rhotomagense Zone, SB Ce IV, HST in the pentagonum Zone) can be correlated between basins elsewhere in Europe and Tunisia suggests that they were probably of eustatic nature. Considering the Cenomanian Megasequence as a "2nd-order cycle", an overall transgressive trend occurs throughout the Cenomanian; maximum coastal onlap was reached during the maximum flooding of DS Ce VI (pentagonum Zone). Palaeobiogeographically, the NCB shows strong tethyan affinities in the Late Albian and Cenomanian. The Turrilites scheuchzerianus/Neohibolites ultimus event in the early Middle Cenomanian permits a correlation with the Actinocamax primus event of the temperate Cenomanian of northern Europe by means of bio-, sequence and isotope stratigraphy.
    Description: Los sedimentos del Cretácico medio (Albiense superior/Cenomaniense) en la parte septentrional de la Provincia de Cantabria han sido estudiados, centrándose en aspectos estratigráficos y sedimentolögicos. El área de estudio pertenece estructural mente a la Cuenca Norcantábrica (NCB), cuya historia depositional comenzó con movimientos tectónicos distensivos en el Valanginiense medio. La NCB es una de las numerosas cuencas sedimentarias que se desarrollaron en el margen continental norteibérico como consecuencia del "rifting" y apertura del golfo de Vizcaya durante el Mesozoico. Es una cuenca con forma de golfo con una elongatión E/W ("Eje de Santillana"). Los límites septentrional y meridional de la NCB son el "Liencres High" y el Escudo de Cabuemiga respectivamente. Hacia el Oeste, la NCB queda confinada por el Macizo Paleozoico Asturiano; en el Este, el límite estructural conocido como Flexión del Río Miera de dirección N/S, la separa de la Cuenca Vasco-cantábrica mucho más subsidente. La historia deposicional de la NCB estuvo fuertemente influenciada por eventos tectónicos que pueden ser relacionados con la evolution del oceano de Vizcaya. Estos tectoeventos dieron lugar a una gruesa subdivision de la sucesión en megasecuencias sedimentarias. Tres límites de megasecuencias, que están inducidos por la tectónica, pueden ser reconocidos en el Albiense y Cenomaniense, definiendo respectivamente las megasecuencias albienses y cenomanienses: • Tectoevento de Santander (intervalo límite del Cenomaniense/Turoniense) • Tectoevento Vraconiense (Albiense superior tardío) • "Evento del Albiense medio" (discordancia de ruptura, Albiense inferior [?tardio]). El "Evento del Albiense medio" causo una desintegración de las plataformas urgonianas clansayenses (Aptiense superior/Albiense inferior), que estaban muy extendidas en paleorelieves de bloques basculados hacia el Este. Se produjo durante el Albiense medio una sedimentatión clástica fluvio-deltaica en los semi-grabenes, de dirección N/S, mientras que las cimas expuestas de los bloques basculados sufrieron procesos de karstificatión. Un fuerte pulso transgresivo inundó la NCB al comienzo del Albiense superior, dando lugar al depósito de sedimentos marinos en el Albiense superior due alcanzaron una muy amplia extensión. Durante la parte superior del Albiense superior las crestas de los bloques basculados fueron recubiertas por sedimentos marinos, indicando el equilibrio del paleorelieve en el Albiense medio. Los procesos tectónicos al final del Albiense superior (Tectoevento Vraconiense), que causaron la emersión de amplias zonas de la NCB, terminan la megasecuencia albiense. La megasecuencia cenomaniense comenzó en el limite Albiense/Cenomaniense con la progradatión de material clástico deltaico que fue canalizado (siguiendo el Eje de Santillana) hacia el Este. Dicho delta ("Delta de Santillana") discurria al Este de Santander hacia la Cuenca Vasco-cantabrica, interfiriendo con los sedimentos de prodelta del Delta de Valmaseda ("Flysch Negro"). En la parte inferior de la zona de Mantelliceras mantelli, un pulso transgresivo inundó la NCB y permitió el depósito de sedimentos marinos, predominantemente calcáreos. Este evento transgresivo puede ser correlacionado con la "transgresión del Cenomaniense initial" sensu lato. En la sucesion Cenomaniense de la NCB pueden ser reconocidas las siguientes zonas: • Cenomaniense superior: Zona de Eucalycoceras pentagonum y la Zona de Metoicoceras geslinianum [pars] • Cenomaniense medio: [Zona de Cunningtoniceras inerme], Zona de Acanthoceras rhotomagense y Zona de A. jukesbrownei • Cenomaniense inferior: Zona de Mantelliceras mantelli y Zona de M. dixoni. La parte superior del Cenomaniense superior (parte superior de la zona de M. geslinianum y la Zona de Neocardioceras judii) está ausente en la NCB. Los sedimentos marino-someros de naturaleza carbonatada de la "Plataforma de Altamira" comenzaron a depositarse en amplias zonas de la NCB en la parte superior de la zona de mantelli. Al Este de la Flexión de Río Miera, en un área fuertemente subsidente, fueron depositadas contemporáneamente potentes sucesiones de sedimentos de cuenca (margas, calizas nodulares y ritmitas de marga/caliza). Durante el Cenomaniense medio hasta la base del Cenomaniense superior, la Plataforma de Altamira fue inundada desde el Este al Oeste en tres intervalos sucesivos. El desarrollo de discordancias de inundatión ("drowning unconformities" = series condensadas, "hardgrounds" mineralizados con ammonites) resultan más recientes hacia el Oeste, concluyendo en un basculamiento hacia atrás de la Plataforma de Altamira. En el Cenomaniense superior (Zona de pentagonum) todos los anteriores lugares caracterizados por el depósito de carbonates marino-someros fueron anegados. La historia deposicional del Cenomaniense acabó en la parte alta de la zona de geslinianum, cuando movimientos tectonicos del Tectoevento de Santander causaron la emersión generalizada de la NCB. El hiato resultante puede ser reconocido en los horizontes condensados a techo de las plataformas sumergidas e igualmente en las sucesiones de cuenca. El desarrollo de facies del Cenomaniense está dominado por el carácter de pulsos que tuvo la "transgresión cenomaniense". Seis límites de secuencia pueden reconocerse dentro de la sucesión cenomaniense del norte de Cantabria, los cuales definen seis secuencias deposicional es de tercer orden (DS Ce I-VI). La positión estratigráfica de los límites de secuencia (SB) son los siguientes: • SB Ce VI = parte superior de la Zona de geslinianum • SB Ce V = intervalo límite del Cenomaniense medio/superior • SB Ce IV = base de la Zona de jukesbrawnei • SB Ce III = parte superior de la Zona de dixoni • SB Ce II = parte superior de la Zona de mantelli • SB Ce I = parte inferior de la Zona de mantelli. Una comparación de esta subdivisión secuencial con las tablas de ciclos regionales del reino vasco-cantábrico revela una buena correlatión, mientras que la correlatión con la "tabla global" ("Exxon chart") es pobre. La correlatión entre varias cuencas sugiere una causa eustática para los numerosos eventos de cambios del nivel del mar en el Cenomaniense (por ejemplo SB Ce III, mfz dentro de la Zona de rhotomagense, SB Ce IV, HST en la Zona de pentagonum). Considerando la megasecuencia del Cenomaniense como un "ciclo de segundo orden", una tendencia transgresiva general ocurrió a lo largo del Cenomaniense, el máxirno "onlap" costero fue alcanzado durante la máxima inundatión de la DS Ce VI (Zona de pentagonum). Desde el punto de vista paleobiogeográfico, la NCB muestra fuertes afinidades tethyales en el Albiense superior y el Cenomaniense. El "Evento de Turrilites scheuchzerianus/Neohibolites ultimus" al comienzo del Cenomaniense medio permite una correlation con el "Evento de Actinocamax primus" del Cenomaniense de la Provincia templada norteuropea.

    Description: Die Stammesgeschichte der Ordnung Ptenoglossa (Gastropoda, Caenogastropoda) wird anhand von 179 rezenten und fossilen Arten bis ins Paläozoikum zurückverfolgt. Ihre rezenten Überfamilien, die Cerithiopsoidea, Triphoroidea und Janthinoidea ernähren sich karnivor. Eine kollabral berippte Larvalschale stellt in den rezenten Überfamilien den ursprünglichen Zustand dar und ist die aussagekräftigste schalenmorphologische Symplesiomorphie. Dies erweist sich durch Radulauntersuchungen und den Fossilbericht. Cerithiopsoidea und Triphoroidea fressen Schwämme und bilden gemeinsam mit den mesozoischen Protorculidae ein Monophylum. Die Janthinoidea fressen Coelenteraten. Sie sind nahe mit den mesozoischen Zygopleuridae verwandt. Die Stammlinien der Schwamm- und Coelenteratenfresser waren schon in der Trias getrennt. Die Zygopleuroidea (Zygopleuridae, Pseudozygopleuridae und Protorculidae) sind folglich ein Parataxon. In allen drei Familien der Zygopleuroidea kommt die kollabral berippte Larvalschale vor und repräsentiert den ursprünglichen Zustand. Die paläozoischen Pseudozygopleuridae stellen wahrscheinlich die Schwestergruppe der rezenten und mesozoischen Ptenoglossa dar. Arten der Pseudozygopleuridae mit planktotropher und nicht planktotropher Frühontogenese können biometrisch getrennt werden. Die Abgrenzung nicht planktotropher Pseudozygopleuridae von den devonischen bis karbonischen Palaeozygopleuridae ist schwierig, weil letztere anhand eines nicht planktotrophen Protoconchs definiert wurden. Mit Hilfe von Protoconchvermessungen ist es jedoch meist möglich, beide Gruppen zu trennen. Die Außengruppe der Ptenoglossa sind die Cerithimorpha, die im Paläozoikum durch die Acanthonematidae und die Murchisoniidae repräsentiert werden. Die paläozoischen Acanthonematidae werden neu gefaßt und enthalten nun unter anderem die Gattungen Orthonema, Palaeostylus, Cerithioides und Knightella. Sie zeichnen sich durch einen heliciformen Protoconch aus, der sich grundsätzlich von dem der Pseudozygopleuridae (Ptenoglossa) unterscheidet. Mithin ist der Protoconch der Pseudozygopleuridae die wesentliche schalenmorphologische Apomorphie der Ptenoglossa. 30 Arten werden neu beschrieben (siehe Anhang A), davon 2 rezente, 8 aus dem Tertiär, 1 aus der Kreide, 13 aus der Trias, 1 aus dem Perm und 5 aus dem Karbon.

    Description: The phylogeny of the order Ptenoglossa (Gastropoda, Caenogastropoda) is traced back into the Paleozoic by studying 179 Recent and fossil species. The Recent superfamilies Cerithiopsoidea, Triphoroidea und Janthinoidea are carnivorous. A larval shell with collabral ribs represents the plesiomorphic state in the Recent superfamilies and it is the most informative symplesiomorphy that concerns to the shell morphology. Evidence for that is given by the radula morphology and the fossil record. Cerithiopsoidea and Triphoroidea feed on sponges and form a clade with the Mesozoic family Protorculidae. The Janthinoidea feed on coelenterates. They are closely related to the Mesozoic family Zygopleuridae. The stem lines of sponge eaters and coelenterate eaters have been separated from each other at least since the Triassic. Thus, the superfamily Zygopleuroidea (Zygopleuridae, Pseudozygopleuridae and Protorculidae) is a parataxon. In all three families of the Zygopleuroidea a larval shell with collabral ribs occurs and represents the plesiomorphic state. The Paleozoic Pseudozygopleuridae are presumably the sister-group of the Recent and the Mesozoic Ptenoglossa. Species of the Pseudozygopleuridae with planktotrophic and non-planktotrophic larval development can be separated from each other by measuring their protoconchs. The separation of non-planktotrophic Pseudozygopleuridae from Devonian and Carboniferous species of the Palaeozygopleuridae is difficult because Palaeozygopleuridae were defined by a non-planktotrophic protoconch, whereas Pseudozygopleuridae were defined by a larval shell of the planktotrophic type. But in most cases it is possible to identify the species by protoconch measurements. The outgroup of the Ptenoglossa are the Cerithimorpha which are represented in the Paleozoic by the families Acanthonematidae and Murchisoniidae. The Paleozoic Acanthonematidae are newly defined and contain genera like Orthonema, Palaeostylus, Cerithioides and Knightella. They have a heliciform protoconch which is fundamentally different from the protoconch of the pseudozygopleurids (Ptenoglossa). The protoconch of the Pseudozygopleuridae is the essential apomorphy concerning the shell of the Ptenoglossa. 30 species are described as new (see Anhang A), 2 of which are Recent, 8 are from the Tertiary, 1 from the Cretacous, 13 from the Triassic, 1 from the Permian and 5 from the Carboniferous. Turritella hybrida MÜNSTER non DESHAYES gets the new name Zygopleura hybridissima nom. nov. 5 new genera are erected: Antiphora n. gen. (Triphoroidea, Tertiary), Eorex n. gen. (Triphoroidea, Tertiary), Atorcula n. gen. (Protorculidae, Triassic), Azyga n. gen. (Zygopleuridae, Triassic) and Striazyga n. gen. (Zygopleuridae, Triassic). Ampezzopleurinae n. subfam. is erected as subfamily of the Zygopleuridae. Nystiellinae CLENCH & TURNER is raised on family level (Nystiellidae). The subgenus Cerithiopsis (Vatopsis) GRÜNDEL is raised on genus level and is transferred from Cerithiopsidae H. & A. ADAMS to Eumetulidae GOLIKOV & STAROBOGATOV. Tembrockia GRÜNDEL is transferred from Cerithiopsidae to Eumetulidae. Variseila DOCKERY is transferred from Triforidae JOUSSEAUME to Eumetulidae. Ampezzopleura BANDEL is transferred from Protorculidae BANDEL to Zygopleuridae WENZ. Zygopleura tenuis (MÜNSTER) sensu Zardini is deemed to be the new nominal species Ampezzopleura tenuis BANDEL (type species of Ampezzopleura) for which a lectotype is designated. Teutonica SCHRÖDER is transferred from Cerithiopsidae to Zygopleuridae. Orthonema MEEK & WORTHEN is retransferred from Turritellidae LOVÉN to Acanthonematidae WENZ. Palaeostylus MANSUY is transferred from Procerithiidae COSSMANN to Acanthonematidae. Knightella LONGSTAFF is transferred from Pseudozygopleuridae KNIGHT to Acanthonematidae. Cerithioides HAUGHTON is transferred from Murchisoniidae KOKEN to Acanthonematidae WENZ. The systematic position of several other taxa has been critically revised. The generic position of several species is changed (see Anhang A "comb. nov.").

    Description: Mit einer dreidimensionalen Vorwärtsmodellierung von Dichtestrukturen der Kruste und des oberen Mantels im Gebiet von 12°-35°S und 57°-79°W wird der regionale Trend des Schwerefelds und gleichzeitig das Geoid am aktiven Kontinentalrand Südamerikas zwischen 20° S und 29°S erklärt. Das Dichtemodell umfaßt die abtauchende Nazca-Platte, Teile des südamerikanischen Kratons, den Asthenosphärenkeil zwischen Unter- und Oberplatte und die Kruste der Zentralanden. Eine Vielzahl externer geowissenschaftlicher Randbedingungen schränkt die Dichteverteilung ein. Die Strukturierung der zentralandinen Kruste im Modell orientiert sich hauptsächlich an den Ergebnissen der Refraktionsseismik. Zur Ermittlung der Krustendichten wird eine druck- und temperaturabhängige Geschwindigkeits-Dichte-Beziehung (S. Sobolev) zur Anwendung gebracht. Neben der bekannten Berechnung der Schwerewirkung dreidimensionaler Dichteverteilungen erlaubt eine neuentwickelte Berechnung des Schwerepotentials nun auch die Modellierung des Geoids. Das Einbeziehen eines Referenzdichtemodells ermöglicht die Anpassung der berechneten Felder an die beobachteten Felder bei gleichzeitiger Verwendung von Absolutdichten. Verschiedene Dichtekontraste der abtauchenden Nazca-Platte gegenüber dem umgebenden Mantel sowie mögliche Dichtekontraste innerhalb des Slab, die sich aus Phasenumwandlungen der gesteinsbildenden Minerale ergeben, werden behandelt und ihre einzelnen Beiträge zum Schwerefeld und Geoid der zentralen Anden berechnet. Mit dem fertigen Gesamtmodell wird die Zusammensetzung des Schwerefeldes und des Geoids am aktiven Kontinentalrand Südamerikas analysiert und ihre Hauptbeiträge dargestellt. Die im Modell enthaltenen Strukturen erklären das regionale Schwerefeld und das Geoid vollständig. Daraus folgt, daß aus tieferliegenden Dichteinhomogenitäten, beispielsweise an der Grenze vom oberen zum unteren Mantel oder im unteren Mantel aufgrund einer möglichen isostatischen “in situ”-Kompensation keine weiteren Beiträge zu erwarten sind. Das Schwereminimum wird hauptsächlich durch eine bis auf 65km verdickte Kruste erklärt. Die Schweremaxima in der Küstenkordillere werden durch den Beitrag des Slab und eine Zone erhöhter Dichte in mittlerer Krustentiefe verursacht. Eine anomale VΡ-ρ-Beziehung unter dem rezenten Arc läßt dort partielle Aufschmelzung vermuten. Eine Untersuchung des Schwimmgleichgewichts des Modells ergibt isostatische Unterkompensation (= Massenüberschuß) im Bereich der Küstenkordillere und der Ostkordillere sowie isostatischen Ausgleich bis leichte Überkompensation im Bereich der Westkordillere und des Altiplano bzw. der Puna.
    Description: A three-dimensional foreward modelling of the density structures of the crust and the upper mantle in the region between 12°-35°S and 57°-79°W explains both the regional trend of the gravity field and the geoid at the active continental margin of South America from 20°S to 29°S. The density model comprises the downgoing Nazca plate, parts of the South American craton, the asthenospheric wedge between lower and upper plate, and the crust of the Central Andes. A large number of external geoscientific boundary conditions constrains the density distribution. The Central Andean crust of the model is structured according to the results of refraction seismic studies. A pressure and temperature dependent velocity- density relation (S. Sobolev) is applied to determine densities within the crust. Apart from the well known calculation of the gravity effect of three-dimensional density distributions, a recently developped calculation of the gravity potential now allows the modelling of the geoid. Using absolute densities, the fitting of the calculated fields to the observed fields is realized by the application of a reference density model. Several density contrasts of the subducting Nazca plate against the surrounding mantle and possible density contrasts inside the slab resulting from mineral phase transitions are discussed and their particular contributions to the Central Andean gravity field and the geoid are calculated. Using the complete model, the composition of the gravity field and the geoid at the active continental margin of South America is analyzed and the main contributions are visualized. The model structures explain both regional gravity field and geoid completely. This implies that density inhomogeneities at greater depth than presented in the model, e. g. at the interface between the upper and the lower mantle or in the lower mantle are not expected to have effects at the surface due to possible isostatic “in situ” compensation. The gravity minimum is generally explained by a crust thickened to 65 km maximum. The gravity highs in the Coastal Cordillera are caused by the contribution of the slab and a zone of increased density in mid crustal layers. An anomalous VΡ-ρ- relation beneath the recent arc implies partial melt. The investigation of the isostatic state of the density model results in isostatic undercompensation (= mass surplus) in the region of the Coastal Cordillera und the Eastern Cordillera, and isostatic equilibrium to slight overcompensation in the Altiplano/Puna region.

    Description: In der Zentralen Dobrogea in Ostrumänien liegen die östlichsten europäischen Vorkommen oberjurassischer Mikrobialith/Kieselschwamm-Gesteine (Spongiolithe). Im Oxfordium existierte in der Zentralen Dobrogea eine flach nach Westen geneigte Karbonatplattform (homoklinale Rampe), auf der verschiedene kieselschwamm- und korallendominierte Rifftypen auftraten. Die Entwicklung der Karbonatrampe begann mit einer raschen Transgression im unteren Oxfordium. Gegen Ende der transgressiven Phase konnten sich in Wassertiefen unterhalb ca. 25 m Schwammrasen etablieren, in der Hochstandsphase schließlich auch Kieselschwamm/Mikrobialith-Bioherme. Ein für die rumänischen Vorkommen charakteristischer ringförmiger Biohermtyp spiegelt vermutlich ein präexistierendes Relief des Untergrundes wieder. Diese Kieselschwamm/Mikrobialith-Riffe besaßen ein früh zementiertes rigides Gerüst aus mikrobiellen Automikriten, das in erster Linie von lithistiden Demospongien und von hexactinelliden Kieselschwämmen besiedelt war. Deren Skelette wurden nach ihrem Absterben ebenfalls mikrobiell zementiert und kalzifiziert. Die Reste ihrer Skelette sind in den Riffen untergeordnet überliefert, in den Biostromen dominieren sie jedoch gegenüber Mikrobialithen. Diese Mikrobialith-Kieselschwamm-Bioherme besiedelten die mittlere Rampe in Wassertiefen, die unterhalb der Schönwetter-Wellenbasis lagen und nur bei schweren Stürmen von der Sturmwellenbasis erreicht wurden. Auf der äußeren Rampe von Sturmwellen nicht erreichbar entwickelten sich gleichzeitig kleine Thrombolith-Kieselschwamm-Mudmounds, an denen vorwiegend Hexactinellida beteiligt waren. Landwärts verzahnten sich die Spongiolithe mit kalkigen Areniten. In Wassertiefen vermutlich um 10 bis 15 m traten die ersten sehr dünnplattigen hermatypen Korallen auf und bildeten weite Biostrome (Fungiiden-Biostrome). Gründe für die Ablösung der Mikrobialith-Kieselschwamm-Assoziation durch hermatype Korallen erst in so flachem Wasser sind zum einen die geringe Toleranz der Mikrobialith-Kieselschwamm-Assoziation gegenüber stärkerer Wasserbewegung mit erhöhten Sedimentations- und Sedimentumlagerungs-Raten. Zum anderen hinderte möglicherweise eine Einschränkung der euphotischen Zone durch ein zeitweise leicht erhöhtes Nährstoffangebot mit Planktonblüte und dadurch verringerter Wassertransparenz hermatype Korallen daran, in tiefere Bereiche vorzudringen. Die im oberen Oxfordium einsetzende Regression führte zur Progradation der lagunären und bioklastischen Fazies der inneren Rampe. In dieser retrograden Phase entstanden Korallen-Fleckenriffe im hochenergetischen Flachwasser und Korallen-Stromatoporen-Chaetetiden-Fleckenriffe in den flachsten Teilen der mittleren Rampe. Die Schwamm-Mikrobialith-Assoziation verschwand zuerst in der östlichen Zentralen Dobrogea. In landferner Position im Westteil der Zentralen Dobrogea wurde sie etwas später von Korallenvorkommen abgelöst.
    Description: The Central Dobrogea in Eastern Romania exhibits the easternmost occurrence of Upper Jurassic microbialite/siliceous sponge facies (spongiolite facies) in Europe. The spongiolites are part of the Lower to Upper Oxfordian Casimcea Fm. which was deposited on a gently westward dipping carbonate platform (homoclinal ramp). This platform was surrounded by deep marine basins in the south, west and north, while to the east the existence of a land area with low relief is assumed. The gently sloping carbonate ramp shows an E-W facies zonation. A lagoonal belt is followed towards the open sea by a coral patch reef belt, a bioclastic-oolitic sand belt, and a spongiolitic belt. The lagoonal belt is rich in structureless to laminated microbial crusts, which occasionally exhibit prism cracks and comprise bioclasts and dark lithoclasts ("black pebbles"). Crusts are accompanied by oncoidal wackestones with Bacinella-Lithocodium oncoids. C/adocorops/s-cayeuxiid floatstones are transitional to the facies of the coral patch reef belt. Seaward of the coral patch reef belt, bioclastic and oolitic sands occupy the proximal middle ramp. The transition to deeper water is reflected by changes in sedimentary and faunal composition from moderately to poorly sorted bioclastic and intraclastic grainstones/rudstones, to oolitic sands, and eventually to fine grained bioclastic packstones. In these packstone areas, coral reef banks grew which are entirely different from coral reefs of the patch reef belt. They were constructed almost exclusively by thin laminoid fungiid corals (Microsolena sp., Comoseris sp. Thamnasteria sp.). Seaward adjacent to these packstone areas are sponge meadows with interspersed microbialite/siliceous sponge reefs. These are followed by monotonous bioclastic wackestones. Small mud mounds bearing siliceous sponge are intercalated. The different reef types occupied specific positions on the ramp. In general spongiolitic facies developed at a more distal and deeper position on the ramp than any coral-dominated facies. The development of the carbonate ramp started with a rapid transgression in Lower Oxfordian time. At the end of the transgressive phase sponge meadows could establish themselves at water depths below about 25 m. During the time of relative sea level high stand microbialite-siliceous sponge bioherms developed, interspersed into the sponge meadows. These spongiolitic reefs occasionally show peculiar ring shapes, a feature that is only observed in Romania. Their formation was most probably controlled by a preexisting uneven surface with subtle hollows. The spongiolitic bioherms had an early cemented microbialitic framework, which was settled by lithistid demosponges and hexactinellid sponges. After the death of the sponges, their skeletons were also calcified and microbially cemented. The ring-shaped bioherms developed on the distal middle ramp below fair weather wave base, where only during heavy storms waves could touch the bottom. On the outer ramp below storm wave base small thrombolitic mud mounds dominated by hexactinellid sponges developed at the same time. Landwards, on the middle ramp, the spongiolitic belt interfingered with bioclastic sands. In water depths of about 1 0 to 1 5 m very thin platy corals appeared forming wide biostromes (fungiid biostromes). One important reason why hermatypic corals did not substitute the siliceous sponge facies in deeper water as well might have been pulses of slightly elevated nutrient concentrations. These elevated nutrient concentrations stimulated growth of plankton, which reduced water transparency, limiting depth range of hermatypic corals and calcareous algae. On the other hand high water turbulence together with elevated rates of sediment input and sediment movement prevented siliceous sponges from growing in areas where fair weather waves influenced the sea-bottom. Regression started in late Oxfordian time and lagoonal and bioclastic facies of the inner ramp prograded to the west. During this phase coral patch reefs developed in very shallow and turbulent water and coral-stromatoporoid patch reefs grew on the proximal middle ramp. The microbialite-siliceous sponge association first disappeared in the eastern part of the Central Dobrogea. In the western part the spongiolitic association was substituted by coral-dominated associations only during the latest Oxfordian. All reef types bearing microbialites (all spongiolitic buildups and fungiid biostromes) developed during transgression or relative sea level highstand. Coral patch reefs in shallow water did establish themselves during the regressive phase. Two basic types of microbialite crusts are recognized in Central Dobrogea: Fenestral automicritic crusts and peloidal automicritic crusts. In fenestral automicritic crusts lamination is often indistinct and defined by dense intervals alternating with losely packed intervals where small linear arranged spar-cemented areas (fenestrae) occur. This crust type is exclusively observed in the spongiolitic belt on the outer ramp where it forms the primary 'framework' in the thrombolitic mudmounds and participates in the hexactinellid-dominated biostromes. In a slightly shallower position within the ring-shaped bioherms they play only a minor role. Peloidal automicritic crusts show a rhythmical lamination which originates from the alternation of spar-cemented peloidal intervals and thin micritic layers. The peloidal intervals have integrated a varying amount of detrital grains. A fine-grained variety of this crust type forms the rigid primary framework of the ring-shaped bioherms. Coarse-grained varieties, locally with an ooid portion, developed in somewhat shallower and more turbulent water in the fungiid biostromes and in the coral-stromatoporoid patch reefs. Like the formation of the different crust types, the early diagenesis of sponge skeletons together with their organic tissue is another example for a microbially induced formation of automicrites. In general two modes of cementation are distinguished, a dense aphanitic and a peloidal one. It is assumed that the mode of cementation of the siliceous sponges (lithistid demosponges and hexactinellids) depends on the taxonomic affiliation of the sponges and on the physical and chemical conditions of the environment where they lived and died. Lithistid demosponges always show a peloidal mode of preservation. Hexactinellids, from deep and very low energy settings, however, exhibit dense aphanitic cementation and complete preservation. In shallower, more turbulent zones (ring-shaped bioherms) they have a low preservation potential and are in general incompletely preserved with a coarse grained peloidal mode of cementation.

    Description: Am Westrand des Basko-Kantabrischen Beckens (Soba-Region, Prov. Cantabria, Nordspanien) sind die Plattform/Becken-Übergangszonen des Apt und Alb in nahezu ungestörtem Verband erhalten. Entlang dieser Randzonen befinden sich großdimensionierte Mud Mound-Strukturen mit einer Basisbreite bis 150 m und einer Höhe bis zu 70 m. Diese Arbeit zielt auf die Erarbeitung der Prozesse, die die Bildung der Mounds begleiten, beeinflussen oder steuern. Das Intervall Oberapt (Clansay) bis Mittelaib besteht aus sechs sedimentär-diagenetischen Zyklen (asymmetrische Trans-, Regressionszyklen), die in Kombination mit Markerhorizonten eine stratigraphische Kontrolle über den Plattform/Becken-Transekt ermöglichen. Meeresspiegelschwankungen (Paläokarst) sind im Apt/Alb-Grenzintervall und hohen Unteralb (Ammonitenzone: Douvilleiceras mammilatum) nachweisbar. Die Vorkommen der Mud Mounds sind an transgressive Faziesdiskontinuitäten gebunden. Ihre Position entspricht dem zu Strömungen exponierten Hang und dem oberen Plattformrand. Die Biofazies reicht von einer aphotischen Gemeinschaft aus “Lithistida“, Hexactinellida, krustosen Foraminiferen, Polychaeten, Thecideen und Acanthochaeteten zu der photischen Biofazies mit Scleractinia, Lithophyllum und Bacinella/Lithocodium. Die Strukturbildung erfolgt durch eine autochthone Mikritproduktion (Automikrit). Akkretionäre Automikrite bilden Stromatolithe, Thrombolithe und massive Gefügetypen. Container-Automikrit befindet sich in geschützten und geschlossen Räumen. Kieselschwamm Container-Automikrite sind aphanitisch, peloidal und peloidal-bakterioform. Unabhängig von Kieselschwämmen treten Container-Automikrite in Kleinhöhlen, Taschen und im Interpartikelvolumen auf. Sie bestehen aus in-situ Peloiden und in-situ Ooiden mit massivem und/oder stromatolithischem Gefüge. Die verschiedenen Automikrittypen besetzen zwischen 50 und 80 Vol.-% der Mud Mounds. Anbohrungen durch lithophage Bivalven und Aka sowie die ausschließliche Produktion angularer Mound-Lithoklasten belegen eine Lithifizierung in statu nascendi. Die Primärmineralogie der Automikrite ist Hoch-Mg-Calcit; die Residualgehalte an MgCOa liegen zwischen 1 ,2 und 3,6 Mol-%. Die Zusammensetzung der stabilen Isotope S13C und S18O (vs PDB) ist analog zu anorganisch gebildeten, marinen Zementen (513C von 2,9 bis 3,8 und S18O von -1,5 bis -4). Die vergleichende Aminosäuren-Analyse ergibt ein relatives Maximum bei Glu und Asp, Pyruvaten und Glycin, resp. Tyrosin. Das Spektrum ist analog zu den Literaturdaten von modernen Automikriten aus Riffhöhlen von Lizard Island (GBR) und unterscheidet sich grundlegend von den strukturgebundenen Skelett-Automikriten von Bacinella/Lithocodium. Die Biomarker-Analyse akkretionärer Automikrite ergab ein spezifisches n-Alkan Muster, ebenfalls vergleichbar mit Spektren rezenter Thrombolithe (Lizard Island) und Beispielen der oberjurassischen Spongiolith-Fazies. Die Grundvoraussetzung der Mud Mound-Genese ist daher die Bereitstellung saurer Makromoleküle (Organomikrit) und eine anhaltend ungestörte Wechselwirkung mit dem umgebenden Medium. Die chemische Randbedingung ist eine erhöhte Karbonatalkalinität. Nach mikrofaziellen Kriterien ist Organomikrit ein faziesbrechendes Element der unterkretazischen Plattformränder. Beispiele reichen von karbonatischen Barrensanden mit Organomikrit-Rindenkörnern, über deltaische Sandsteine (Organomikrit um Quarz) bis zu Kondensationshorizonten auf Paläokarst sowie Drowning-Sequenzen auf Korallenpflastern (Sclercatinia zu Kalkalgen zu Thrombolith). Die Bildung der Mud Mounds (Organomikrit-Riffe) der Soba-Region ist korreliert mit einer regional extrem herabgesetzten Karbonatproduktion. Diese durch terrigenen Input und mögliche Eutrophierungen verursachten Produktionskrisen setzten die relativ uneffektive Organomikritproduktion in Vorteil gegenüber den stenoöken Gemeinschaften der euphotischen Zone. Die erhöhte Karbonatalkalinität kann von der Zufuhr der Verwitterungslösungen (regional) und dem Abau organischer Substanzen abgeleitet werden (lokal, Sulfatreduktion). Möglicherweise bestand ein Zusammenhang mit der Auslaugung von Keuperdiapiren.
    Description: At the western margin of the Vasco-Cantabrian Basin (Soba-Region, Prov. Cantabria, N-Spain) the primary facies architecture of the Aptian-Albian platform/basin transition is well preserved. Along these zones large-scaled mud mounds reach 70 meters in height with a basal diameter of up to 150 meters. Aim of this work is to point out processes that are limited to coexistance and such that influence or even control mud mound formation. The Upper Aptian (Clansayesian) to Middle Albian interval consists of six sedimentary-diagenetic cycles that represent asymmetric transgressive/regressive facies sequences. In combination with marker horizons these cycles provide a stratigraphic control across the platform/basin transition. Sea-level changes recorded as paleokarst are documented in the Aptian/Albian boundary interval and within the upper parts of the Lower Albian (ammonite zone: Douvilleiceras mammilatum). Mud Mounds follow transgressive discontinuities of facies. These structures are both located at slopes facing wave-induced current systems and at the upper platform margin. The involved biofacies include an aphotic community with lithistid demosponges, hexactinellids, encrusting foraminifera, polychaetes, thecidean brachiopods and acanthochaetetids as well as a photic community with scleractinian corals, calcareous algae such as Lithophyllum and the problematic structure of Bacinella/ Lithocodium. Mud mounds are constructed by autochthonous production of micrite (automicrite). Accretionary automicrites form stromatolites and thrombolites as well as massive fabrics. Container-automicrite is restricted to protected and closed spaces. Container-automicrites of siliceous sponges reveal aphanic, peloidal and peloidal-bacterioform microfabrics. However, container-automicrite may also occur within minicaves, pockets and the interstitial space of rudstones lacking any sponge evidence. These automicrites consist of in-situ peloids and in-situ ooids forming massive and/or stromatolitic microfabrics. All automicrites, variously developed, hold 50 to 80 % of the total mud mound volume. Borings by lithopagous bivalves and sponges (Aka) and additionally the exclusive occurrence of angular mound lithoclasts provide evidence for lithification in statu nascendi. The primary mineralogy of the automicrites is high Mg-calcite with residual MgCOa-contents between 1.2 and 3.6 mole-%. The composition of stable isotopes (S13C and S18O vs. PDB) goes along with inorganically precipitated marine cements (813C: 2.9 to 3.8, S18O: -1,5 to -4). The comparative analysis of amino acid quantity reveals relative maxima of glutamin and asparagin, pyruvates and glycin as well as tyrosin. The relative amounts of amino acids are very similar to those obtained from modern automicrites of Lizard Island reef caves (GBR) and are clearly seperated from skeletal automicrites of Bacinella/ Lithocodium. In addition, biomarker analysis of accretionary automicrites resulted in a specific n-alkane pattern comparable to literature data of modern marine thrombolites (Lizard Island) and Upper Jurassic spongiolites. According to these results, the basic neccessity for mud mound genesis is the occurrence of acidic macromolecules producing a specific automicrite (organomicrite) and their persistent interaction with thesurrounding medium. Chemically, an increased carbonate alkalinity is required. Thin section analysis provides evidence that organomicrite is a widespread element of Lower Cretaceous platform margins overlapping different facies zones. These include carbonate shoal sediments with organomicrite-coated grains and deltaic sandstones with organomicrite-coated quartz grains. Further examples are intervals of stratigraphic condensation overlaying paleokarst or drowning sequences following a succession from scleractinian corals towards calcareous algae and thrombolites. On the regional scale mud mounds (organomicrite reefs) of the Soba-Region correlate with times of drastically reduced carbonate production. This, potentially caused by terrigenous input and episodes of eutrophism, leads to a dominance of the relatively ineffective production of organomicrite over the highly productive stenotopic (euphotic) communities. An increase of carbonate alkalinity can be deduced from regional scale continental weathering and from sulfate reduction on local scale. Possibly, a correlation between brines of subsoluted diapirs (Keuper) and the formation of automicrites might have existed.

    Description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Krustenstruktur im östlichen Andenvorland untersucht. Das Gebiet umfaßt den Nordwesten Argentiniens, zwischen dem 22° und 25° südlichen Breitengrad und dem 66° und 62° westlichen Längengrad. Aus morphologischer Sicht befindet sich das Untersuchungsgebiet im Übergang zwischen dem Subandin (Sierras Subandinas) und der südlichen Ostkordillere zum Chaco Vorland (Llanura Chaqueña). Im Untersuchungsgebiet zeichnet sich ein Wechsel in den tektonischen Strukturen ab, welcher als Interaktion zwischen der tertiären Andenorogenese und kretazischen Riftbildungen gedeutet wird. Dieser als Inversionstektonik bekannte tektonischer Stil hat nicht nur oberflächennahe Strukturen hervorgerufen, sondern auch tiefgreifende Massenveränderungen verursacht. Teile dieser Modifikationen sind in der Signatur des Schwerefeldes erhalten geblieben, und somit ist die Interpretation gravimetrischer Meßergebnisse zusammen mit den geologischen Randbedingungen eine Grundvorraussetzung zur Untersuchung dieser tektonischen Interaktion. Zum Verständnis dieser Strukturen war es notwendig, sowohl den Teil des Beckens zu untersuchen, welcher nicht von der andinen Orogenese betroffen ist, als auch jenen der direkt in die letztere miteinbezogen wurde. Aus gravimetrischer Sicht ist die Bougueranomalie des Gebietes stark vom Effekt der Andenwurzel geprägt. Jedoch deuten einige Abweichungen auf die Existenz lokalerer Störkörper hin, die Ziel der Modellierung waren. Ein solcher Störkörper wurde am südöstlichen Rand des kretazischen Rifts identifiziert. Die Modellierung wurde einerseits zweidimensional durchgeführt um einen Überblick über das Gebiet zu bekommen. Eine regionale 3D Modellierung führte dann zu einer präziseren Interpretation des Gebietes. Insbesondere wurde dabei der Effekt überschobener Riftschollen am Ostrand des Beckens untersucht. Diese Überschiebungen drücken sich im gravimetrischen Restfeld als deutliche positive Anomalie aus. Allerdings kann diese Anomalie nicht direkt mit einem Astenosphärenanstieg, welcher durch Riftbildung entstanden sein könnte, in Einklang gebracht werden - wie von einigen Autoren vermutet wurde. Eine weitere modellierte Struktur bildete die Vortiefe, welche durch die Auflast der andinen Überschiebung enstanden ist. Die dadurch hervorgerufenen negativen Anomalien bilden einen deutlichen Kontrast zu der beschriebenen positiven Anomalie im Vorland, der sich auch im Restfeld als starker Gradient äußert. Die 2D Modellierung erbrachte folgende Ergebnisse: im anorogenen Breich des Untersuchungsgebietes wurde die Existenz einer deutliche Asymmetrie des Beckens bestätigt, mit einer nach Südosten geneigten Riftabscherungsfläche. Die Orogenese hinterließ deutliche Spuren in der Reaktivierung der Abscherungen wobei entlang der südostvergenten Störungen tieferes Krustenmaterial emporgeschoben wurde. Mit einer größeren Dichte wird dieser Vorgang als Ursache der positiven Anomalie intepretiert. Westvergente Störungen scheinen nur oberflächennahe Bereiche miteinbezogen haben. Im regionalen 3D Modell wurde ein Ansteigen der Unterkruste unterhalb des Beckens angenommen. Die asymmetrische Anordnung dieses Anstiegs deutet eher auf einen kompressive tektonischen Effekt hin als auf eine residuale Krustenverdünnung. Zusammenfassend kann gesagt werden, daß sich in diesem Breich im Schwerefeld die Effekte des Andengradienten mit denen der überschobenen Basement-Tektonik und der Vorlandtief kombinieren und als solche fur einen starken lokalen Gradienten am Rande des Effekts der Andenwurzel verantwortlich sind.
    Description: In the present study, the structure of the crust beneath the eastern Andean foreland is analyzed. The area comprises part of northwest Argentina, between 22° and 25° S and 66° and 62° W. In terms of morphotectonics, the area studied covers the transition between the Sierras Subandinas (Subandean Ranges) and the southern part of the Cordillera Oriental (Eastern Cordillera) to the Chaco plains (Llanura Chaqueña). In the area, a pervasive change controls the tectonic features, which is interpreted as a consequence of the interaction between the Andean orogeny and preexistent Cretaceous rifting. This inversion tectonics did not only result in a particular suite of near to surface structures but also modified deeply the mass distribution within the crust. This changes in mass distributions and hence density contrasts is evidenced by the gravity field. As such, a careful analysis of gravity data together with the geological boundary conditions are the basis for an analysis of this tectonic interaction. Understanding these structures implied to analyse not only the part of the rift involved in the Andean compressive orogenesis but also that part where original extensional features are still preserved. From a gravimetrical point of view, the Bouguer-anomaly of the area shows a strong overprint related with the Andean root. Some smaller changes in the field however indicate the existence of local sources, which where the target of the modelling. Such a change had been indentified at the southeastern edge of the Cretaceous rift. Modelling was performed towfold. As such, a 2D model was made in order to get an insight into the regional aspects of the area. A more detailed 3D model led to a more precise interpretation of the area. In particular, the effect of the inverted rift tectonics at the eastern edge of the basin was studied. These upthrusts correlate with a readily identifiable positive anomaly within the residual field. The anomaly neverthless cannot be directly related with an astenospheric uprise, preserved since the rifting stage, as suggested by some authors. In addition, the foredeep related with the tectonic load of the Andean overthurst, was modelled. The negative anomalies generated during this process, show a strong contrast in comparison with the positive anomaly described above, depicted also by a prominent gradient in the residual field. 2D modelling led to the following results. In the region, where Creataceous rifting structures were not overprinted by the Andean orogeny an obvious asymmetry of the basin was defined, being the master detachment dipping to the northeast. The orogeny left evidences of reactivation, where the structures of the southeastern edge were the pathways of the uplift if deeper crustal material with a higher density. This process may be responsible for a part of the positive anomaly mentioned. Structures located at the western and northwestern edge of the basin seem to have only involved nearer-to surface structures. The 3D model assumed a slight uprise of the lower crust beneath the basin. The asymmetry in goemetty seem to stand more for a tectonic effect than for a remanent thinned crust. As a summary, the gravity field in this area shows the combined effects of the regional Andean gradient with the more local effects of the basement tectonics (inverted rifting) and the overthrusted foredeep. Hence, at least these three factors seem to be responsible for the strong local gradient in a lateral position of the Andean root.

    Description: In dieser Arbeit wurden Laborexperimente im Ultraschallfrequenzbereich und begleitende theoretische Untersuchungen durchgeführt, um zu klären, welche Absorptionsmechanismen in fluidhaltigen Sandsteinen bei geringem einaxialen (26 MPa) und bei erhöhtem hydrostatischen Druck (bis 200 Mpa) wirksam sind. Die Kenntnis der Absorptionsmechanismen ist notwendig, um die Zusammenhänge von lithologischen und seismischen Gesteinsparametern zu verstehen und für die Interpretation von seismischen Feldmessungen zu nutzen. Bekannt war bislang, daß unter geringem einaxialen Druck frequenzabhängige lokale Flüssigkeitsströmungen den wesentlichen Absorptionsmechanismus in fluidhaltigem Gestein darstellen. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde gezeigt, daß die Kompressionswellengeschwindigkeit in fluidhaltigem Gestein bei höheren Sättigungsgraden zusätzlich von einem partiellen Gesteinsversteifungseffekt beeinflußt wird. Damit gelang eine vollständige Erklärung des sättigungsabhängigen elastischen und anelastischen Gesteinsverhaltens bei geringem einaxialen Druck. Um die Bedeutung der Gesteinsmikrostruktur (z.B. Rißdichte, Kornkontakte) für die seismischen Gesteinsparameter (Geschwindigkeit, Absorption) direkt nachzuweisen, wurde diese bei einem Gestein künstlich, thermisch verändert. Die Änderung der Mikrostruktur führt bei gleichzeitiger vernachlässigbarer Änderung der makroskopischen Gesteinsparameter (Porosität, Permeabilität) zu einer Vergrößerung der Fluideffekte. Mechanismen und Modelle, in welche ausschließlich makroskopische Gesteinsparameter ein- gehen, erfassen nicht die beobachteten Änderungen im Gesteinsverhalten. Nur mit dem auf die Gesteinsmikrostruktur bezogenen Mechanismus lokaler Flüssigkeitsströmungen konnten die Änderungen der Fluidwirkungen erklärt werden. Diese Ergebnisse an verändertem Gestein bieten somit einen direkten Beweis für den grundlegenden Einfluß der Mikrostruktur auf die seismischen Gesteinsparameter. Bislang war nicht geklärt, ob der Mechanismus lokaler Flüssigkeitsströmungen, welcher von der Existenz feiner Spalten im Gestein abhängt, auch unter erhöhtem hydrostatischen Druck das Gesteinsverhalten bestimmt. Zur Untersuchung der Absorptionsmechanismen in Gestein unter erhöhtem Druck wurden Experimente an Sandstein mit verschiedenen Saturanden und Sättigungsgraden durchgeführt. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass auch unter erhöhtem Druck fluidbedingte Absorptionsmechanismen wirksam sind und auch hier polare Fluide im gesamten Druckbereich eine Modulerniedrigung verursachen. Der Vergleich der experimentellen Ergebnisse mit Modellvorhersagen ergab, daß lokale Flüssigkeitsströmungen den Einfluß unterschiedlicher Fluide auf Geschwindigkeit und Absorption erklären und auch unter hohem hydrostatischen Druck von wesentlicher Bedeutung für die elastischen und anelastischen Gesteinseigenschaften sind. Folglich existieren trotz einer partiellen Rißschließung auch unter hohem hydrostatischen Druck noch Risse und Spalten im Gestein. Die thermische Veränderung der Mikrostruktur eines Gesteins bewirkt eine Geschwindigkeitserniedrigung im trockenen Gestein, welche auch bei hohem hydrostatischen Druck erhalten bleibt, sowie eine Vergrößerung der Fluideffekte. Die Erklärung des geänderten Verhaltens des fluidhaltigen Gesteins gelang mit dem Mechanismus lokaler Flüssigkeitsströmungen. Die Ergebnisse an verändertem Gestein zeigen direkt, daß die Mikrostruktur auch bei hohem hydrostatischen Druck grundlegend für die seismischen Gesteinsparameter ist. Da auch unter erhöhtem hydrostatischem Druck, also unter ’in-situ’-Bedingungen, der frequenzabhängige Mechanismus lokaler Flüssigkeitsströmungen die seismischen Gesteinsparameterwesentlich beeinflußt, muß diese Frequenzabhängigkeit bei der Übertragung von Laborergebnissen auf die Feld- und Bohrlochseismik beachtet werden.
    Description: Laboratory experiments in the ultrasonic frequency range and accompanying theoretical investigations were performed with the aim to clarify which absorption mechanisms are effective in fluid-containing sandstones at low uniaxial pressure (26 MPa) and at elevated hydrostatic pressure (up to 200 MPa). The knowledge of the effective absorption mechanisms is necessary to understand the relation of lithological and seismic rock parameters and to use it for the interpretation of seismic field measurements. Preceding investigations at the TU-Berlin had revealed that at low uniaxial pressure frequency dependent local-fluid-flow is the dominating absorption mechanism in fluid-containing rock and that polar fluids lead to a modulus reduction. Within the scope of the present study the investigations of the seismic rock parameters (velocity, attenuation) at low uniaxial pressure were continued. It was shown that the compressional wave velocity in fluid-containing rock is additionally influenced by a partial rock stiffening effect at higher saturations. With this result a complete explanation of the saturation dependent elastic and anelastic rock behaviour at low uniaxial pressure was achieved. To prove the significance of the rock microstructure (e.g. crack density, crack aspect ratios, grain contact properties) for the seismic rock parameters directly, the microstructure of a sandstone was artificially changed by thermal cracking. With negligible changes of the macroscopic rock parameters (porosity, permeability) the alteration of the microstructure leads to an increase of the fluid effects on the elastic and anelastic rock properties. Mechanisms and models which are solely based on macroscopic rock parameters do not cover the observed changes in the rock behaviour. Only by applying the mechanism of local-fuid-flow related to microstructure the changes in the fluid effects can be explained. Thus these results obtained on thermally changed rock are a direct prove of the fundamental influence of the microstructure on the seismic rock parameters. Until now it has not yet been clarified whether the mechanism of local-fluid-flow which depends on the existence of narrow cracks in rock also determines the rock behaviour under elevated hydrostatic pressure. To investigate the absorption mechanisms in rock under elevated pressure ultrasonic measurements were performed on sandstone with different saturands and degrees of saturation. The experimental results reveal that under elevated pressure fluid dependent attenuation mechanisms are effective too and polar fluids cause a modulus reduction in the entire pressure range. The comparison of the experimental results with model predictions reveals that local-fluid-flow explains the influence of different fluids on the velocity and attenuation and that this mechanism is of essential significance for the elastic and anelastic rock properties even under high hydrostatic pressure. Consequently despite a partial crack closure sufficient fine cracks exist even under high hydrostatic pressure. The thermal alteration of the microstructure of a rock leads to a velocity decrease in the dry rock which is preserved at high hydrostatic pressure, as well as to an increase of the fluid effects. The explanation of the changed behaviour of the fluid-containing rock was achieved by means of the mechanism of local-fluid-flow. The results obtained on altered rock directly demonstrate that the microstructure is of fundamental significance for the seismic rock parameters at high hydrostatic pressure too. Depending on the rock microstructure the mechanism of local-fluid-flow may cause attenuation and dispersion in all frequency ranges. Since it has been shown in this study that also under elevated hydrostatic pressure, i.e. under ’in-situ’conditions, this frequency dependent mechanism essentially influences the seismic rock parameters, the frequency dependence must be taken into account by extrapolating laboratory results to field and borehole seismic.
