Interstitial-water geochemistry of Kerguelen Plateau sediments

This report synthesizes all of the interstitial-water chemistry studies associated with the Kerguelen Plateau phase of ODP Leg 119. Sediments were cored at six sites (49°24'S to 59°36'S) in water depths ranging from 564 to 4082 m. A total of 77 interstitial-water samples was recovered as part of the routine sampling protocol. In addition, a novel, highresolution pore-water sampling program was tested during Leg 119 that enabled us to pinpoint reaction zones and extend our data base to deeper, drier levels that were heretofore inaccessible. Data collected include interstitial-water sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, pH, alkalinity, sulfate, ammonia, phosphate, aqueous silica, salinity, chloride, oxidation-reduction potentials, and sediment chemistry. The northern sector (Sites 736 and 737) is characterized by the highest sedimentation rates (up to 140 m/m.y.) and thermal gradients (70°-98°C/km) encountered on the Kerguelen Plateau during Leg 119. Site 737 represents the most reactive sediment column cored on the Kerguelen Plateau. Major cation fluxes at Site 737 are the strongest measured during Leg 119. High dissolved calcium concentrations (141.5 mM) were encountered near the bottom of Hole 737B. Elevated temperatures promote silica diagenesis and the alteration of volcanic material below 300 mbsf, and a diagenetic front was discovered near 370 mbsf at Site 737. The southern portion of the Kerguelen Plateau (Sites 738 and 744) records the lowest sedimentation rates (less than 5 m/m.y.) and thermal gradients (43°C/km) of the three study areas. Major cation fluxes at the southern sites are the lowest that we measured on the Kerguelen Plateau. High-resolution sampling provided evidence for significant silica release to the pore waters during the weathering of basement basalt. The relatively low thermal gradient does not appear to be sufficient for the formation of the opal-CT and quartz chert beds and nodules that were encountered below 120 mbsf at Site 738. Sediment-accumulation rates on the Eastern Kerguelen Sediment Ridge (Sites 745 and 746) are intermediate to those of the northern and southern sites. Deposition below the regional CCD accounts for the nearly carbonate-free, siliceous sediments. Despite their low organic carbon contents (mean = 0.15%), sediments on the Eastern Kerguelen Sediment Ridge exhibit the highest pore-water alkalinity (6.77 mM), ammonium (0.50 mM), and phosphate (23 µM) concentrations measured on the Kerguelen Plateau. Major cation fluxes are intermediate to those calculated for the northern and southern sites. The Eastern Kerguelen Sediment Ridge interstitial waters are unusual, however, in that the downward flux of magnesium is greater than the upward flux of calcium.

This translation includes selected passages of a longer paper on Mastigophora and Rhizopoda found in saline lakes Weissovo and Repnoie. The translation focuses on describing taxonomy and morphology of Ochromonas species and Pedinella. Plates and figures of the original paper are not included in the translation.

On distribution of pollen in lakes. [Translation from: Palynology in geological research in the Baltic Soviet Republics p113-119. Vilnius, 1973.]

Systematic investigations of the distribution of pollen in stationary water bodies until now have hardly been conducted. For clarification of the problem of how the pollen of different plants which falls into a lake is deposited in relation to its physical properties, the character of the lake, wind currents and other factors, pollen analyses were carried out of surface samples of the bottom sediments of 13 Lithuanian lakes. Lakes were selected of different sizes (areas from 2333 ha. to 8 ha.) and different depths, not uniformly overgrown, situated in different physico-geographic regions of Lithuania. As a result of the investigation, it was established that in the surface layer of the sediments of the lakes of Lithuania pollen of woody species predominates.

Contribution à l’étude du nannoplacton du leg 12, «sites» 118-119 (Ocean Atlantique)

This paper reports a Scanning Electron Microscopy study of some samples from the leg 12, Deep Sea Drilling Project, sites 118 and 119. The chronostratigraphic distribution, the frequency of the species identified and the datation of the samples studied are presented. In accordance with the calcareous nannofossil zonation proposed by E. MARTINI (1971) the samples from site 118 are ascribed to the Upper Miocene while the samples from site 119 are located between the Lower (NN1) and the Upper Miocene (NN10).
