Le but de cette étude est de retracer l’évolution de l’hydrologie dans la partie occidentale de l’Océan Pacifique subtropical en utilisant le proxy εNd analysé sur les foraminifères et sur les oxydes de ferromanganèse authigéniques dans les sédiments. Ceux-ci proviennent de carottes sédimentaires prélevées au nord de la Mer de Chine du Sud (MCS). Avant d’utiliser l’εNd dans les sédiments profonds de la MCS, 16 profils d’eau de mer, collectés au nord de la MCS et dans le Mer des Philippines, ont été analysés afin d’établir la distribution d’εNd des masses d’eau dans l’ouest du Pacifique tropical et dans la MCS, qui jusqu’à aujourd’hui n’était pas documentée. Les valeurs d’εNd des masses d’eau profondes et intermédiaires varient de -2,7 à -4,4 et augmentent légèrement avec la profondeur. Dans la mer des Philippines, les valeurs d’εNd de l’eau intermédiaire du Pacifique Nord (North Pacific Intermediate Water, NPIW) atteint -2.7±0.4 à moyenne profondeur (500 à 1400m). En-dessous de de 1800m, l’eau profonde Pacifique (Pacific Deep Water, PDW) est caractérisée par du Nd moins radiogénique (-4.1±0.5), indiquant l’intrusion de masses d’eau australes. Pour la plupart des stations du nord de la MCS, les masses d’eau en-dessous de 1500m (PDW) affichent des valeurs d’εNd homogènes (~ -4.1), similaires à celles de la PDW dans la Mer des Philippines. Les valeurs d'εNd pour l'eau intermédiaire de la mer de Chine du Sud (South China Sea Intermediate Water, SCSIW, 500-1500m) varient entre -3.0 et -3.9 dû au mélange vertical de la NPIW avec la PDW. Les valeurs d'εNd de l'eau de mer dans la MCS (-5.3 à -7.0) affichent des modifications locales dans des zones où l'eau s'écoule au-dessus de systèmes de dépôt sédimentaire. Ceci implique que "l'échange à la marge" avec des sédiments non radiogéniques (autour de -11) peut se produire dans le temps et dans l'espace sans modifier la composition isotopique du Nd de la PDW dans le Nord de la MCS. Dans un second temps, l’εNd extrait des foraminifères planctoniques G. ruber a été étudié sur la carotte MD05-2904, collectée à 2000m de profondeur sur la marge nord-ouest de la MCS. Cette étude a été conduite dans le but de retracer les variations hydrologiques depuis le Dernier Maximum Glaciaire (DMG) dans la partie occidentale du Pacifique Nord subtropical. Les enregistrements d'εNd ainsi obtenus couvrent les derniers 25 000 ans. Ils affichent une large gamme de valeurs de -4±0.2 à -6.7±0.3, suggérant d'importants changements dans la contribution de la NPDW (εNd=-4) et de la UCDW (Upper circumpolar Deep Water, εNd -6 to -8) dans la zone étudiée. Durant la déglaciation, les enregistrements d'εNd indiquent une diminution des excursions négatives de l'εNd impliquant une plus forte proportion de SSW (Southern-sourced Water) entre 17 et 15 ka BP ainsi qu'entre 10 et 8 ka BP. Ces intervalles de temps sont contemporains de l’évènement Heinrich 1 (HS1) et de l’Holocène inférieur. Les shifts négatifs centrés sur le HS1 coïncident avec un phénomène d'upwelling renforcé dans l'océan austral, associé à un déplacement vers le pôle des vents d'ouest. Ceci implique une augmentation de la formation de la SSW qui se propage dans l'Ouest du Pacifique subtropical. L'excursion négative de l'εNd durant l’Holocène inferieur (~10-8 cal ka BP) indique une plus grande proportion de SSW qui pourrait être associée avec une plus forte production de SSW, comme observé récemment dans l'atlantique Sud, et/ou avec une possible réduction de la NPIW. Nos données suggèrent que le schéma de circulation actuel dans la partie occidental du Pacifique subtropical s'est mis en place il y a 4600 ans. / The aim of this study is to reconstruct the evolution of the hydrology of the western subtropical North Pacific Ocean by using εNd proxy analysed on foraminifera and dispersed authigenic ferromanganese oxide precipitates in sediments from deep-sea cores collected in the northern SCS. Before using the εNd proxy on deep sea sediments of the SCS, Nd of 16 seawater profiles collected in the northern South China Sea (SCS) and the Philippine Sea were investigated to establish the εNd distribution of water masses along the tropical western Pacific and the SCS that, until now have not been documented. εNd values for mid- and deep-water masses of the Philippine Sea and the SCS range from -2.7 to -4.4 and generally increase slightly with water depth. In the Philippine Sea, εNd values for the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) reach- 2.7±0.4 at mid-depths (500 to 1400 m). Below ~1800 m, the Pacific Deep Water (PDW) is characterized by less radiogenic Nd (-4.1±0.5) indicating the instrusion of southern sourced water masses. For most of the stations in the Northern SCS, water masses below 1500m (PDW) display homogenous εNd values (~ -4.1) similar to those of the PDW in the Philippine Sea. εNd values for the South China Sea Intermediate Water (SCSIW, 500-1500m) vary from -3.0 to -3.9 as a result of the vertical mixing of the NPIW with the PDW in the SCS. Seawater εNd values for the SCS (~5.3 to -7.0) display local modification in areas where the water lies above sediment drift deposit systems. This implies that “boundary exchange” with unradiogenic sediments (around~11) may occur temporally and spatially and does not modify he Nd isotopic composition of the PDW in the Northern SCS. In a second step, seawater εNd extracted from cleaned planktonic foraminifera G. ruber has been investigated on core MD05-2904, collected at a deph of 2000m on the north-western margin of the SCS. This study was undertaken in order to reconstruct hydrological variations since the LGM in the western subtropical North Pacific. The εNd records obtained from foraminifera spanning the past 25kyr. Display a wide range of values, ranging from -4±0.2 to -6.7±0.3, suggesting important changes in the contribution of the NPDW (εNd=-4) and the UCDW (εNd -6 to -8) in the subtropical western Pacific. During the period of deglaciation, εNd records indicate a relative decrease in the negative excursions of the εNd implying a higher proportion of SSW during the time intervals 17-15 cal kyr BP and 10-8 cal kyr BP; these intervals are coeval with the HS1 and early Holocene. The negative shifts centered on the HS1coincide with an enhanced upwelling in the Southern Ocean, associated with a polewards shift of the southern westerlies, inducing an enhanced formation of the SSW that propagates to the subtropical western Pacific. The negative excursion of the εNd during the Early Holocene (~10-8 cal kyr BP) indicates a higher relative proportion of SSW that could be associate with higher production of the SSW, as has been recently observed in the South Atlantic, and/or with a possible reduction of the NPIW. Our data suggest that the present modern circulation pattern in the western subtropical Pacific Ocean was fully established after 4.6 cal kyr BP.

O Quadrilátero Ferrífero (MG) é uma importante unidade geotectônica do Cráton do São Francisco que alberga jazidas de ferro e ouro hospedadas na seqüência greenstone belt Rio das Velhas e cuja evolução geodinâmica esteve regida por vários eventos tectonometamórficos. Depósitos de ouro gerados por fluidos epitermais e remobilizações orogênicas proterozóicas se associam intimamente com camadas bandas de ferro e raramente disseminados em metapelitos no topo do greenstone. Nas mineralizações é comum uma paragênese que cristalizou mediante diversos processos e em distintos estágios com predomínio de sulfetos de ferro. Em geral os minérios possuem forte controle estrutural por dobras, falhas e cisalhamentos transcorrentes, desenvolvidos durante vários eventos deformacionais de diversa índole e estreita relação com processos de alteração hidrotermal como sericitização, carbonatação, cloritização, entre outros de menor incidência. O depósito de ouro Córrego do Sítio hospeda-se na seqüência silisiclástica de origem turbidítica metamorfisada em fácies xisto verde denominada Associação de Litofácies Ressedimentada que faz parte do Grupo Nova Lima, se apresenta disseminado em metapelitos e em veios de quartzo com carbonato. A mineralização que acompanha o ouro cristalizou em vários estágios principais nos que predominaram (i) pirita + pirrotita, (ii) arsenopirita + pirrotita + pirita com texturas finas e orientadas, (iii) arsenopirita com pirrotita e sulfosais em veios de quartzo, (iv) pirita grossa pervasiva em todas as rochas hospedeiras. O estudo da composição isotópica Pb, Sr e Nd, permitiu identificar que as fontes dos fluidos mineralizantes foram as rochas hospedeiras, que na evolução policíclica da mineralização participaram eventos metamórficos e hidrotermais a 2.2, 2.0 Ga. e sobreimpostos a ~600 Ma. os quais induziram os processos de circulação hidrotermal na área de estudo. Mediante comparativa com outros depósitos da região, sugere-se que os metais formadores do minério depositaram-se em Córrego do Sítio à idade de 2.2 Ga. originados a partir da BIF tipo São Bento e remobilizados por fluidos através de falhas inversas. Análises geocronológicas U-Pb (SHRIMP) e K-Ar embora não decisivos em quanto à determinação da idade da mineralização, revelaram a idade de ~2.7 Ga. como o limite temporal para a deposição das rochas hospedeiras. No contexto geológico aplicado se estabelece a potencialidade para a prospecção aurífera que apresentam as rochas metapelíticas do topo do Greenstone Belt Rio das Velas associadas a camadas bandadas de ferro com ouro, e que os alvos mais relevantes seriam zonas com falhas inversas e cisalhamentos transcorrentes. / The Quadrilátero Ferrífero is an important geotectonic unit of the São Francisco Craton that host iron and gold deposits within the vulcanosedimentary rocks of the greenstone belt Rio das Velhas. The geodynamic evolution of this greenstone includes several tectonometamorphic events. Gold deposits were formed by epithermal fluids, remobilized during the Proterozoic orogenic processes, are associated whit the banded iron formations and are sporadically disseminate in metapelitic rocks within the top of the greenstone sequence. In the ores is common the crystallization of iron sulfide minerals during diverse stages. Gold deposits have an important structural control by folds, reverse faults and strike-slip shearing zones, and are commons several hydrothermal alteration processes like sericitization, chloritization and carbonate usually related to the deformation. The Córrego do Sítio gold deposit is hosted in turbiditic siliciclastic rocks that are metamorphosed in the greenschist facies. The gold is associated with the iron sulfide arsenopyrite and pyrite, which are disseminated in metapelitic rocks and quartz-carbonate veins. The mineralization includes vary stages of crystallization, (1) pyrite and pyrrotite (2) arsenopyrite, pyrrotite and fine pyrite, (3) arsenopyrite whit pyrrotite and sulphosalts in quartz vein, and (4) pervasive pyrite. An integrated Pb, Sr e Nd, isotopic study of the Córrego do Sítio deposit allowed to identify that sources of the mineralizing fluids was the host rocks, that in the policiclic evolution the gold mineralizaton had participation events of metamorphism and hidrothermalism to age 2.2, 2.0 and 0.6 Ga. respectively the wich induced the hydrothermal circulation processes in the study area. The isotopic character of this deposit and its comparison with similar ones, suggest that the gold and its metals associated it is deposited in Córrego do Sítio to age 2.2 Ga. and that metals were derived from the banded iron formations, and remobilized by hidrothermal fluids across reverse faults. Although U-Pb (SHRIMP) and K-Ar geochronologic data were not conclusive to constrain the age of the mineralization, they provide to age ~2.7 Ga. that a good limit for the sedimentation of the host rock. It is suggest that there is a potential for gold prospection within the metapellitic rocks associated with banded iron formation of the Greenstone Rio das Velhas, and that the more relevant targets include areas with inverse and strike-slip fault.

Um Hinweise auf die geodynamische Entwicklung und zur Rekonstruktion der magmatischen und tektono-metamorphen Geschichte der Västervik-Region (SE-Schweden) und dem Kamanjab Inlier (NW-Namibia) zu erhalten, wurden isotopengeochemische Untersuchungen (Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, K-Ar, U-Pb) in Kombination mit Haupt- und Spurenelementanalytik sowie Untersuchungen zu den P-T-Bedingungen an metamorphen Gesteinen durchgeführt. Beide Gebiete vereint eine gemeinsame Entwicklung innerhalb des Superkontinentes Columbia. Sowohl die Västervik-Region als auch der Kamanjab Inlier sind durch ihre Lage entlang eines aktiven Kontinentalrandes geprägt. In beiden Arbeitsgebieten konnte eine mehrphasige Entwicklung erkannt werden. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, dass der granitoide Magmatismus entlang des südlichen Randes des Laurentia-Baltika Systems durch zwei paläoproterozoische Phasen charakterisiert ist. So konnten fünf granitoide Einheiten unterschieden werden, die in ihrer Zusammensetzung von Tonaliten bis Syenograniten variieren. Geochemische Klassifikationen haben für drei der fünf Einheiten einen „magnesian“, metaluminösen Cordillerancharakter gezeigt, der in Verbindung mit einem aktiven Kontinentalrand steht (2. Phase 1.81-1.77 Ga). Die übrigen zwei Einheiten zeigen einen Wechsel zu „ferroan“, peraluminösen Granitoiden mit einem A-Typ-Charakter, die während einer Extensionsphase gebildet wurden (1. Phase 1.87-1.84 Ga). Während die Ältere der beiden A-Typ-Gruppen mit der ersten Phase korreliert werden kann, zeigt die Jüngere Affinitäten zur sogenannten Granit-Pegmatit-Einheit. Das bestehende tektonische Modell für die Bergslagen-Region (N‘ Västervik) setzt eine Verlagerung der Subduktionszone in SW‘ Richtung voraus, die einhergeht mit einem Wechsel des geodynamischen Regimes. Die für die Västervik-Region definierten fünf granitoiden Einheiten passen gut in dieses Modell und liefern Argumente für einen neuen tektonischen Zyklus im Süden der Bergslagen-Region. Der Kamanjab Inlier zeigt eine ähnliche Entwicklung, wie sie in der Västervik-Region beobachtet werden konnte. Der granitoide Magmatismus wurde auf ein paläoproterozoisches Alter von 1.88-1.81 Ga datiert und fällt vermutlich mit einem ersten tektono-metamorphen Ereignis zusammen, in dem es unter anderem zur Ausbildung von Migmatiten kam. Die ermittelten Sm-Nd-Modellalter der Amphibolite zeigen eine systematische Zunahme von tiefen zu höheren Krustenstockwerken (Rooikop/Aandgloed[S]: TDM 2.10-1.96 Ga; Suiderkruis/Aandgloed [N]: TDM 2.40-2.12 Ga; Ehobib: TDM 2.74-2.30 Ga). Das Einsetzen der Kibarischen Orogenese bzw. des kibarischen Riftereignisses im Mesoproterozoikum (~1.6 Ga) wird als Auslöser für eine großräumige Überprägung des südlichen Randes des Kongo-Kraton gesehen. Sowohl K-Ar-Datierungen (1.3-1.4 Ga) als auch die Ergebnisse der Rb-Sr-Isotopenanalyse (~1.5 Ga) deutet auf eine solche Überprägung hin und können mit einem zweiten tektono-metamorphen Ereignis sowie dem bimodalen Magmatismus entlang des Kontinentalrandes korreliert werden. Untersuchungen der P-T-Bedingungen zeigen eine Unterteilung in eine nördliche (T=650-750 °C; P=8-11 kbar) und eine südliche (T=500-600 °C; P=5-9 kbar) Domäne. Ausgehend von zwei diskreten Metamorphoseereignissen scheinen die Geländebeobachtungen (Ausbildung der Migmatite) die Bedingungen des ersten tektono-metamorphen Ereignisses widerzuspiegeln. Wohingegen die durch Laborbefunde ermittelten, das zweite Ereignis zeigen.

Adições de Ti-C e Cr refinam o grão em nanocompósitos de Nd-Fe-B, aumentando substancialmente o valor de seu campo coercivo Hc. Isto motivou a investigação do efeito da adição de Ti-C e Cr em nanocompósitos de Pr-Fe-B e em outros nanocompóstitos à base de Nd-Fe-B. Fitas metálicas das composições (Pr9,5Fe84,5B6)0,97-x(TiC)0,03Crx (x = 0; 0,0025; 0,005; 0,0075; 0,01) e (Nd9,5Fe84,5B6)0,97-x (TiC)0,03Crx (x = 0,005; 0,01) foram produzidas por resfriamento rápido. Medidas de magnetização em campos magnéticos de até 90 kOe mostraram que os materiais contendo Cr possuem Hc substancialmente maior do que os demais sem. Para um nanocompósito de Pr com 1% Cr, o campo coercivo obtido foi Hc = 12,5 kOe, enquanto que para um nanocompósito de Pr com 0% Cr obtivemos um Hc = 5,1 kOe. O produto energético máximo da amostra com 1% Cr foi de, aproximadamente, 13,6 MGOe, valor este limitado pela remanência. Uma análise do difratograma de raios X mostrou que as fitas à base de Pr-Fe-B com 1%Cr consistem basicamente de uma fase Pr2Fe14B dura e uma fase α-Fe mole. Uma espectroscopia Mössbauer foi realizada em 300 K e mostrou uma redução dos campos hiperfinos devido à adição do Cr. Também foi realizada uma microscopia eletrônica de transmissão na amostra Pr-Fe-B com 1% Cr e os resultados mostraram que o nanocompósito possui um tamanho de grão maior do que o material sem Cr, sendo que a microestrutura majoritária são de grãos constituídos de α-Fe, de tamanho médio de 100 nm, imersos numa matriz de Pr2Fe14B. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-30T15:59:14Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Vinicius Cappellano de Franco.pdf: 2554552 bytes, checksum: ca6455aec67ec4bd99efc6bdb3497dc6 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-30T15:59:14Z (GMT).

For the sample with 1% Cr, the maximum energy product was approximately 13.6 MGOe, a value limited by the remanence. The X-ray diffractogram analysis showed that the ribbons based on Pr-Fe-B with 1% Cr consist basically of a Pr2Fe14B hard phase and an α-Fe soft phase. Mössbauer spectroscopy was performed at 300 K and showed a reduction of the hyperfine field due to the addition of Cr. Transmission electronic microscopy of the Pr-Fe-B sample with 1% Cr showed that the nanocomposites have a grain size larger than the material without Cr, the microstructure consisting of α Fe grains, with an average size of 100 nm, in a matrix of Pr2Fe14B.

L’objectif de cette étude est de reconstruire le régime de l’érosion des chaînes himalayennes, et de relier ces paramètres aux variations climatiques globales et à l’intensité de la mousson. Dans ce travail, Les sédiments de 3 carottes prélevées dans la baie du Bengale pendant la mission MONOPOL ont fait l’objet d’analyses minéralogiques (XRD et granulométrie) et géochimiques (majeurs, traces, la composition isotopique du Nd et du Sr). La mise en âge des carottes, est basée sur les enregistrements de δ¹⁸O de foraminifères planctoniques (G. ruber), et des datations au ¹⁴C (AMS). Ces 3 enregistrements sédimentaires couvrent les derniers 180 ka. L'approche multi-traceur menée sur ces carottes, nous donne des informations essentielles sur les sources, afin de reconstruire les changements au cours du temps des sédiments transportés vers la partie proximale du cône sous-marin du Bengale, et de mieux comprendre ses liens potentiels avec les changements climatiques (mousson indienne et/ou des changements au niveau de la mer). Les résultats de cette étude, donnent également des clefs sur les processus d'altération chimique et de la dynamique du transport des sédiments au cours du temps. En outre, une étude à haute résolution, sur un site localisé sur la levée du chenal actif du cône sous-marin fournit des informations sur les changements dans le degré d'altération et la dynamique de transport des sédiments du système himalayen au cours de l'Holocène. Ainsi, il est possible de quantifier l'impact de la mousson d’été sur la sédimentation au niveau de la levée durant cette période climatique. Les résultats de cette étude ont été utilisés pour estimer les changements dans les sources sédimentaires (plaine Indo-Gangétique vs haute-chaine) et retracer l'altération chimique du matériel détritique au sein du bassin versant du système fluviatile du Ganges-Brahmapoutre. / The aim of this study is to reconstruct the erosional history of the Himalayan ranges, in order to connect these parameters to global climatic events and variations in the intensity of the monsoon. In this work, sediments from 3 marine cores collected in the Bay of Bengal, during the MONOPOL cruise were analyzed using mineralogical (XRD and grain-size) and geochemical (major, trace, Nd and Sr isotopic composition) methods. Chronological framework of studied cores were based on δ¹⁸O from planktonic foraminifera (G. ruber), and ¹⁴C ages dating (AMS). These cores cover the last 180 kyr. The multi-proxy approach conducted on these cores, gives us critical information about the source, to reconstruct the temporal variability of sediment export to the proximal northeastern Bengal Fan and its potential links to climatic changes (Indian monsoon and/or sea-level changes). Results also give insights on the chemical weathering processes and the dynamic of transport of the sediments through time as well. Moreover, a high-resolution study, on a site located on the active middle fan channel levee of the fan provides information on changes in the weathering pattern and the dynamic of transport of sediments from the Himalayan system during the Holocene. Thus, it is possible to quantify the impact effect of summer monsoon rainfall during that time interval. These results have been used to assess changes in the sedimentary sources (Indo-Gangetic plain vs highlands) and document the chemical weathering states of the detrital material within the Ganges-Brahmaputra river basin catchment.

The Davle Volcanic Complex (DVC) situated in the Teplá-Barrandian unit (TBU) of the Bohemian Massif, is considered as a Neoproterozoic-Cambrian magmatic arc that developed on the northern active margin of Gondwana supercontinent during Cadomian accretionary orogeny. This study combines data obtained from fieldwork, petrography, rock-forming mineral microanalysis, major and trace element analysis, Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic systematics and U-Pb zircon geochronology in order to reveal the petrogenesis and evolution of the DVC. At least three-stage metamorphism including Cadomian seafloor alteration, Variscan regional metamorphism as well as contact metamorphism related to the emplacement of the Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex affected the DVC. The studied rocks follow calc-alkaline trend whereas tholeiitic trend previously reported is rather related to younger magmatic events. The northern part of the DVC is dominated by felsic subvolcanic (plagiogranite), volcanic (dacite- rhyolite) and pyroclastic (dacitic-rhyolitic tuffs and breccias) rocks with a few outcrops of basaltic andesite-andesite pillow lavas documenting the subaqueous activity of the DVC. These rocks are Na-rich, but K-poor, the plagiogranite contains albite most likely primary in origin, and exhibit highly radiogenic εNd values (~ +6 to +11),...

Das römische Ägypten am Ende des zweiten und zu Beginn des dritten nachchristlichen Jahrhunderts ist eine sehr abwechslungsreiche Zeit. Doch in wieweit lassen sich historische Begebenheiten auch auf den Prägungen des Nillandes nachweisen? Die alexandrinischen Münzen sind eine Besonderheit der kaiserlichen Domäne Ägypten, schon weil sie aufgrund ihrer Materialzusammensetzung einen geringeren Wert haben und ausschließlich für den Umlauf in dieser bestimmt sind. In einem Typenkatalog sind zunächst mehr als siebentausend alexandrinische Münzen aus öffentlichen wie auch privaten Sammlungen, aber auch aus dem Münzhandel erfasst worden, um angemessene Informationen zu den severischen Prägungen zu erhalten. Dieser ermöglicht nun einen ersten Gesamtüberblick über die Münzprägung der severischen Zeit, die ebenso abwechslungsreich ist wie die Epoche selbst. Der Hauptfokus liegt dabei auf den ikonographischen Aspekten der Münzrückseiten, wobei geldgeschichtliche Entwicklungen eine ebenso große Rolle spielen, um einen Gesamteindruck vom Bildprogramm jedes einzelnen römischen Kaisers der severischen Dynastie zu bekommen. Einen Ausblick auf die anschließende Zeit der Soldatenkaiser gibt ein Appendix, der die alexandrinischen Prägungen des Maximinus Thrax kurz umreißt. / The history of Egypt during the severan period is a time rich in variety. This epoch is examined on the local coins of the mint of Alexandria which are unique because they were assigned just for the circulation at the Nile. To get an overview about the severan coinage in Egypt more than 7000 alexandrian coins were recorded in different collections and ordered in a typology which should be the basis of the iconographical examimations to get a picture from the iconographic programm of each severan emperor. Following this is an appendix of the coinage of Maximinus Thrax to get a prospect to the following time.
