2020-11-9 · The Yangtze River is the largest river in southern China. In this study, the two sediment cores (CM-A and NH-C) taken from the Yangtze River Estuary were analyzed for 210Pb and 137Cs dating, major and trace elements, rare earth elements (REEs) and grain size of sediments. The results showed that the sedimentary ages of CM-A and NH-C cores were 37 and 64 years respectively.

2020-4-9 · Gorges Reservoir. We evaluated the ecological risk and pollution level from heavy metals based on the Potential Ecological Risk Index (RI), Risk Assessment Code (RAC), and Ratio of Secondary Phase and Primary Phase (RSP). Our results indicated that the total and bio-available heavy metal
2021-6-5 · This indicates that the sand- and silt-sized heavy mineral fractions are not a major source of the HREE-enriched patterns of the residues. Otherwise, the light residual fractions would exhibit weaker HREE-enriched patterns; however, this is not seen in Fig. 4C. Since quartz and feldspar are not the major contributors of the HREE-enriched signatures of the light residual fractions, the remaining clay-sized constitutes can be regarded as the most likely HREE …

2013-6-5 · It has been well documented that REEs are generally enriched in clay and silt fractions, but depleted in sand fractions because of dilution by quartz and carbonate minerals (McLennan, 1989, Vital et al., 1999). The Taiwanese river drainage basins have completely different geologic, geographic and climatic conditions from those of Chinese mainland rivers.
The Geopolitics of South Asia From Early Empires to the Nuclear Age Graham P. Chapman ftHE GEOPOLI T ICS OF SOUT H ASIA South Asia is one of the world''s great cultural heartlands, and home to nearly one quarter of the earth''s population. It is the cradle of two of the world''s oldest and most important religions, Hinduism and Buddhism.
Abstract. The storm events in the Baltic Sea are examined in connection with the main weather patterns grouped into the circulation types (CTs), and their changes in present climate. A calendar of storms was derived from results of wave model SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore) experiments for 1948-2011.
The Emeishan Basalt of distal source were strongly enriched in light REE (LREE) relative to heavy REE (HREE) and displayed moderately sloping HREE on chondrite-normalized patterns, and the light rare earth elements (LREE) enrichment of the basalts preferred a mantle plume origin (Li et al., 2017).
1 Introduction. China''s Tibetan Plateau, also called the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau or the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, is a unique geographical unit due to its low temperatures, geographical location, high elevation (averaging more than 4500 m above sea level …
2015-10-12 · The HREE-enriched heavy minerals significantly influence the REE compositions, reflecting the control of provenance (e.g., Rollinson 2013). We note that there is a poorly positive correlation with LREE and a negative correlation with HREE, which suggests that the LREE chemistry is partly controlled by the presence or absence of key heavy minerals, especially monazite or zircon, which in turn is …
Abrasion by ice, water, and wind processes loaded with sediments can have immense cutting power. The world''s greatest gorges, valleys, and ravines are largely a result of abrasion. In glacial regions, massive masses of moving ice embedded with soil and rock particles grind down rocks in their path, carrying away large volumes of material.
Most of the zircons are characterized by oscillatory zoning, depletion of light rare earth elements (LREE) and enrichment of heavy rare earth elements (HREE) with Ce and Eu anomalies. The yielded ages for these rocks are 256 ± 1.9 Ma and are plotted in the zones defined for the continental setting with few deviated toward the mid-oceanic ridge ...
2018-6-5 · The Yellow River originates from the Yueguzonglie basin of the Tibetan Plateau, at an elevation higher than 4500 m. It flows eastward across the Loess and Ordos Plateau, the North China Plain, and finally reaches the Bohai Sea ().The catchment covers an area of 7.5 × 10 5 km 2, and supports a population of ca. 100 million people (Yang et al., 2004a).
