Cauldron subsidence and subglacial floods
Ice cauldrons are depressions which form at the surface of ice sheets when an underlying subglacial lake empties. Notable examples of such cauldrons occur on the surface of the Vatnajökull ice cap in Iceland, and in particular are formed when subglacial volcanic eruptions occur. More generally, cauldrons will form when a subglacial lake empties during a jökulhlaup. The rate of subsidence of the...
متن کاملPlate tectonics and basin subsidence history
Tectonic setting exerts fi rst-order control on basin formation as refl ected in basin subsidence history. While our approach ignores the effects of fl exural loading and eustatic sea-level change, consistency of backstripped subsidence histories (i.e., with local loading effects of sediment removed) suggests consistent tectonic driving mechanisms in each tectonic setting, with the possible exc...
متن کاملSubsidence and growth of Pacific Cretaceous plateaus
The Ontong Java, Manihiki, and Shatsky oceanic plateaus are among the Earth’s largest igneous provinces and are commonly believed to have erupted rapidly during the surfacing of giant heads of initiating mantle plumes. We investigate this hypothesis by using sediment descriptions of Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) drill cores to constrain plateau subsidence his...
متن کاملSubsidence of venice: predictive difficulties.
in equilibrium with metallothionein at pH 7.4 after 48 hours. We are currently reexamining copper binding to normal metallothionein and metallothionein from subjects with hepatolenticular degeneration under different experimental conditions. If, as Scheinberg suggests, copper is bound to metallothionein in the cuprous form, our interpretation of the data is indeed incorrect, and I will take ful...
متن کاملLand subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal: potential damage of subsidence and sea level rise in southern New Jersey, USA
Land subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal combined with a global sea level rise creates a serious environmental problem in the coastal region. Groundwater withdrawal results in fluid pressure change in the layers. The pressure change in the layers induces both elastic and inelastic land compaction. The elastic compaction can be recovered if the water level rises again and inelastic compacti...
