The analysis of the isotopic systems used on this study showed a distinction between the source rocks of CF and ST cores. The medium and high grademetamorphic basement rocks mainly constituted of metasediments drained by the hydrographic basin of Paraíba do Sul river, inserted in Ribeira Belt are the main sources of the sediments from the CF core, indicating a strong influence of river inflow in the sedimentation of the brazilian continental shelf off Cape Frio (RJ). The distribution of Paraíba do Sul river sediments into the plataform uppon regions located south of its mouth, would be facilitated by the action of NE winds associated with the South Atlantic Subtropical High (SAS), which also could influence the cyclonic vortices of Brazilian Current (CB), the penetration of the South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) and consequently the didtribution of sediments on the continental shelf under the influence of such mechanisms, mainly for the last ca. 3000 years BP. Pb, Nd and Sr isotopic compositions of the sediments from the ST core seem to be similar to the ones from the rocks of the Paraná Basin, mainly from Bauru Formation. These sediments could be derived from the mixture of eroded material from basic rocks, in the case of low-\'TiO IND. 2\' tholeiitic basalts with medium to high grade metamorphic rocks of Ribeira Belt, probably during the time of the Bauru basin sedimentation (Cretaceous). The isotopic signaturesand Sm-Nd (TDM) model ages of sediments from La Plata and Mampituba river estuaries, which drain rocks of the Paraná Basin, are similar to those recorded in the ST core. These similarities add evidence to say that the transport of the sediment finer size fractions from the Paraná Basin to the brasilian southeasterncontinental shelf could be facilitated by the dynamics of La Plata plume, which is transported northwards under the influence of the Brazilian Coastal Current movement. The results of the current study suggest that changes in sedimentation, observed over the CF and ST cores, between the Middle and Upper Holocene, could be primarily associated to climatic changes to the action of the precessional insolation astronomical cycles.

The focus of this work is magma-crust interaction processes and associated crustal volatile release in subduction zone volcanoes, drawing on rock, mineral, and gas geochemistry as well as experimental petrology. Understanding the multitude of differentiation processes that modify an original magma during ascent to the surface is vital to unravel the contributions of the various sources that contribute to the final magmas erupted at volcanoes. In particular, magma-crust interaction (MCI) processes have been investigated at a variety of scales, from a local scale in the Vesuvius, Merapi, and Kelut studies, to a regional scale, in the Java to Bali segment of the Sunda Arc.  The role of crustal influences is still not well constrained in subduction systems, particulary in terms of the compositional impact of direct magma crust interplay. To address this shortcoming, we studied marble and calc-silicate (skarn) xenoliths, and used high resolution short timescale experimental petrology at Vesuvius volcano. The marbles and calc-silicates help to identify different mechanisms of magma-carbonate and magma-xenolith interaction, and the subsequent effects of volatile release on potential eruptive behaviour, while sequential short-duration experiments simulate the actual processes of carbonate assimilation employing natural materials and controlled magmatic conditions. The experiments highlight the efficiency of carbonate assimilation and associated carbonate-derived CO2 liberated over short timescales. The findings at Merapi and Kelut demonstrate a complex magmatic plumbing system underneath these volcanoes with magma residing at different depths, spanning from the mantle-crust boundary to the upper crust. The erupted products and volcanic gas emissions enable us to shed light on MCI-processes and associated volatile release in these systems. The knowledge gained from studying individual volcanoes (e.g., Merapi and Kelut) is then tested on a regional scale and applied to the entire Java and Bali arc segment. An attempt is presented to distinguish the extent of source versus crustal influences and establish a quantitative model of late stage crustal influence in this arc segment. This thesis therefore hopes to contribute to our knowledge of magma genesis and magma-crust interaction (MCI) processes that likely operate in subduction zone systems worldwide.

This work focuses on crustal interaction in magmatic systems, drawing on experimental petrology and elemental and isotope geochemistry. Various magma-chamber processes such as magma-mixing, fractional crystallisation and magma-crust interaction are explored throughout the papers comprising the thesis. Emphasis is placed on gaining insights into the extent of crustal contamination in ocean island magmas from the Canary Islands and the processes of magma-crust interaction observed both in nature and in experiments. This research underscores that the compositions of ocean island magmas, even primitive types which are classically used as probes of the mantle, are susceptible to modification by crustal contamination. The principal mechanisms of contamination identified from work on both Tenerife and Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) are assimilation and partial melting of the pre-existing island edifice and intercalated sediments by newly arriving magma (i.e. “island recycling”). The information that we can gain from studying solidified magma and entrained crustal xenoliths concerning the rates and mechanisms of crustal assimilation is, however, limited. To address this shortcoming, a series of time-variable crustal carbonate assimilation experiments were carried out at magmatic pressure and temperature using natural materials from Merapi volcano, Indonesia. A temporally constrained reaction series of carbonate assimilation in magma has hence been constructed. The experiments were analysed using in-situ techniques to observe the progressive textural, elemental, and isotopic evolution of magma-carbonate interaction. Crucially, carbonate assimilation was found to liberate voluminous crustally-derived CO2 on a timescale of only seconds to minutes in the experiments. This points to the role of rapid crustal degassing in volcanic volatile budgets, and, pertinently, in magnifying hazardous volcanic behaviour. This thesis, therefore, delivers detailed insights into the processes of magma-crust interaction from experiments and geochemistry. The outcomes confirm that crustal processes are significant factors in both, i) ocean island magma genesis, and ii) magma differentiation towards compositions with greater explosive potential which can, in turn, manifest as hazardous volcanism. / Felaktigt tryckt som Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 707

Au début des temps modernes (16ème - 18ème siècles), la construction de grands navires était primordiale pour le développement des rencontres culturelles dans ce qui est devenu l'âge de la découverte et de l'expansion européenne. L’Espagne était une des grandes puissances de l’époque. Le projet européen « ForSEAdiscovery » cherche dans ce contexte à répondre aux questions clés suivantes : les ressources forestières ibériques de l’époque soutenaient-elles la demande croissante de bois, ou bien ce bois était-il importé d’autres pays ? Si ces bois ne provenaient pas de l’Espagne, comment les réseaux de commerce étaient-ils organisés ? Ce projet aborde ces questions à travers un programme de recherche multidisciplinaire et innovant pour améliorer la compréhension de notre passé historique et de notre patrimoine culturel, et développer notre connaissance sur l'utilisation passée des ressources en bois pour la construction navale. L'objectif de cette thèse, qui s’insère dans ce projet, est d’identifier la provenance des bois utilisés dans la construction navale ibérique en utilisant des traceurs géochimiques. L’hypothèse est que les arbres se développant sur des roches et des sols contrastés possèdent des signatures géochimiques spécifiques héritées des roches. Les signatures isotopiques en strontium (87Sr/86Sr) peuvent notamment être des indicateurs de provenance géographique. Dans ce contexte, la démarche suivie dans la thèse a consisté à caractériser la signature isotopique en Sr dans des bois d'épaves de bateaux et dans les bois d’arbres actuels, les sols et roches prélevés dans les principaux peuplements forestiers espagnols pointés comme lieux de production des bois entre le 16ème - 18ème siècles. Les signatures en δ88/86Sr, traceur peu connu encore, ont également été caractérisées dans les échantillons. Les types et les âges des roches ont été caractérisés et les liens entre les rapports isotopiques 87Sr/86Sr et δ88/86Sr dans les roches, sols et arbres ont été étudiés sur les sites espagnols échantillonnés. La signature locale des sites espagnols potentiels de provenance de bois a été déterminée. Nos résultats mettent en évidence que le rapport isotopique 87Sr/86Sr dans les arbres reflète la signature de la fraction échangeable des sols sur lesquels ils croissent alors que le δ88/86Sr est affecté par le fractionnement, les isotopes légers (86Sr) étant préférentiellement incorporés dans les arbres laissant la fraction échangeable du sol enrichie avec les isotopes lourds (88Sr). Ce fractionnement observé pour les chênes, n’est pas marqué dans le bois des pins suggérant que le fractionnement isotopique durant le transfert du Sr entre le sol et l’arbre est dépendant de l’espèce. La contamination des bois d’épaves par les éléments marins a été identifiée. Le Sr marin se retrouve notamment sous forme adsorbée ou dans la structure des minéraux précipités dans les bois immergés. Différentes expériences d’extractions ont été testées et un protocole adapté a été développé pour extraire les éléments marins et retrouver la signature originelle du bois archéologique. Nous avons réussi à valider un protocole d’extraction et retrouver la signature originelle d’un échantillon de bois d’épave. Ce résultat souligne le potentiel et l’importance d’une nouvelle méthode combinant 87Sr/86Sr et δ88/86Sr pour des futures études de provenance de bois ou autres matériaux. Cependant, nos résultats indiquent également que beaucoup de nos échantillons de bois archéologiques n’ont pas conservé leur Sr originel. Partant de ce constat, des préconisations sont proposées pour améliorer la possibilité d’utilisation de ce traceur dans les études futures de provenance de bois archéologiques sous-marins / In the Early Modern Age (16th - 18th centuries), the construction of ocean-going ships was paramount to the development of cultural encounters in what became the Age of Discovery and European expansion. Spain was one of the biggest forces of that time. The European project “ForSEAdiscovery” seeks answers in this context to the following key questions: Could Spanish forest resources sustain the increasing demand of timber, or were the wood imported from elsewhere? If Spanish forests were not the only wood supplier, how were the trade networks organized? This project will address these questions through a multidisciplinary and innovative training research program to improve the understanding of our historical past, our cultural heritage, and our knowledge of the use of resources for shipbuilding. The objective of this PhD thesis, taking part of this project, is to identify the provenance of the Iberian shipbuilding wood using geochemical tracers. The hypothesis is that trees growing on contrasted rocks and soils have specific geochemical signatures, which can be an indicator of geographic provenance. In this context, the Sr isotopic signature (87Sr/86Sr) was characterized in shipwreck wood samples and wood from living trees, soils and rocks collected from the Spanish forest stands indicated as potential source of wood between the 16th - 18th centuries. The δ88/86Sr signatures were also characterized in the samples. The rock types and ages were characterized at the selected sites and the link between the 87Sr/86Sr and δ88/86Sr in rocks, soils and trees was studied on the sampled Spanish sites. The local signature of Spanish potential sites was determined for provenance of wood. Our results indicate that 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios in trees reflect the signature of the corresponding soil exchangeable pool while δ88/86Sr was shown to be affected by mass-dependent fractionation with trees taking up lighter (86Sr) isotopes, leaving the soil exchangeable pool enriched with the heavier isotopes (88Sr). This fractionation observed for oak trees, was not found in pines suggesting that the isotopic fractionation during tree uptake is species dependent. The contamination of wood from shipwrecks by seawater elements was identified. Marine Sr was found to be adsorbed on the wood or included in the precipitated minerals in the waterlogged wood. Several extraction experiments were tested and an adapted protocol was developed to extract the seawater elements and retrieve the original signature of the archaeological wood. We succeeded to validate an extraction protocol and retrieve the original signature of one wood sample. This result underline the potential and importance of a new method combining 87Sr/86Sr and δ88/86Sr values for future provenance studies on wood or other materials. However, our results also indicated that most of our shipwreck wood samples did not conserve their original Sr. Therefore, preconizations were suggested in order to extend the use of this tracer in future provenance studies on archaeological wood from shipwrecks

[pt] A Lagoa de Marapendi integra, junto com as Lagoas de Camorim, de Jacarepaguá e da Tijuca, o Sistema Lagunar de Jacarepaguá que fica numa planície de mesmo nome localizada na zona oeste da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Uma das características mais marcantes desse Sistema é sua proximidade com o mar, que o abastece por meio do Canal da Joatinga. Marapendi é a mais externa das três Lagoas, separando-se do mar apenas por um cordão arenoso de 9km de extensão e largura de cerca de 100m, onde está localizada a Praia da Reserva. O trabalho objetivou determinar se haveria aportes hídricos entre o mar e a Lagoa através do lençol nesse cordão, determinar se essa troca é pontual ou difusa, se é uniforme ou variada e quantificar sua influência no volume total da Lagoa. Para tal foram utilizados três diferentes grupos de traçadores. O primeiro foi a condutividade por ser mais convencional e com possibilidade de trabalho em campo, em seguida os isótopos estáveis da água (Delta D e Delta 18O) e por último os isótopos de Ra de meia-vida curta (223Ra e 224Ra), determinados pelo uso de RaDeCC – Radium Delayed Coincidence Counter. Como resultado conseguiu-se demonstrar que há um aporte pelo cordão e que ele é difuso e não uniforme. Também, pode-se demonstrar uma zona de elevada descarga no mesmo lugar onde foi observado um afloramento natural. Na quantificação desse aporte, em cálculos aproximados, considerando a água subterrânea no cordão e uma linha de base de Ra na entrada da Lagoa, determinou-se que esse aporte é cerca de 10 por cento do volume de água da Lagoa. / [en] Marapendi Lagoon forms, along with Camorim, Jacarepaguá and Tijuca Lagoon, the Jacarepaguá Lagoon System, located on a plain by the same name in Rio de Janeiro. This System its proximity to the sea that supplies it with water by Joatinga Canal. Marapendi is the most external off the three lagoons, being separated of the sea by just a sandspit of 9km of extension and about 100m wide, named Reserva Beach. The study aimed to determine if there was water contributions (SGD) between the sea and the lagoon through the groundwater in this spit, determine if this exchange is punctual or diffused and to quantify it s influence on the Marapendi volume. For such were used different geotracers as salinity, major ions in salt water, water s stable isotopes (Delta D and Delta 18O) and short half-life radium isotopes (223Ra and 224Ra), determined by RaDeCC – Radium Delayed Coincidence Counter. As a result, it was possible to demonstrate that there is a water contribution through the groundwater. It is also possible to demonstrate an elevated discharge zone on the same place where was observed a natural water outcrop. Quantifying this contribution in calculations considering the sandspit s underground water and a radium baseline on the lagoon s entrance it was determined that this contribution is approximated 10 percent of Marapendi volume, wich is a considerably representative amount.

O objetivo primário deste estudo é aprimorar o conhecimento acerca das fontes do manto e dos mecanismos envolvidos na gênese dos basaltos da Província Magmática do Paraná, que constitui uma das maiores manifestações de basaltos continentais do mundo. Para tanto, foram determinadas as concentrações de terras raras (La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb e Lu), outros elementos traço (Cs, Rb, Ba, U, Th, Ta, Hf, Co e Sc) e elementos altamente siderófilos (Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd e Re), juntamente com razões isotópicas dos sistemas Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, U-Th-Pb e Re-Os em basaltos com alto-Ti (Paranapanema e Pitanga) que ocorrem no norte da PMP. Além disso, foram determinadas as concentrações de elementos altamente siderófilos e as razões isotópicas de 187Os/188Os amostras representativas de basaltos com baixo-Ti (Esmeralda) do sul da PMP. Os dados geoquímicos e as razões isotópicas de Sr, Nd e Pb obtidos são consistentes com dados da literatura, porém, refinam as variações (extremos) isotópicas dos magmas-tipo Paranapanema e Pitanga. Esses dados, juntamente com as concentrações de elementos altamente siderófilos e das razões isotópicas de Os, inéditas na literatura, sugerem que as fontes dos basaltos (astenosfera ou manto litosférico subcontinental) sofreram metassomatismo significativo, com a intrusão de veios piroxeníticos, relacionado a antigas subducções e/ou processos de delaminação. / The primary goal of this study is to improve the understanding about the mantle sources and the mechanisms involved in the basalt genesis from Paraná Magmatic Province (PMP), which is one of the largest known continental flood basalts of the world. Therefore, the concentrations of rare earths (La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb and Lu), other trace elements (Cs, Rb, Ba, U, Th, Ta, Hf, Co and Sc) and highly siderophile elements (Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd and Re) were determined, along with isotope ratios regarding Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, U-Th-Pb e Re-Os systematics in high-Ti basalts (Paranapanema and Pitanga) from northern PMP. In addition, the highly siderophile element concentrations, as well as 187Os/188Os isotope ratios, were measured in selected samples of low-Ti basalts (Esmeralda) from southern PMP. The geochemical and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope results of the present study are consistent with literature data, but refine the isotope variations (extreme) for the Paranapanema and Pitanga magma-types. These data, along with the concentrations of highly siderophile elements and Os isotope ratios suggest that the basalt mantle sources (asthenosphere or subcontinental lithospheric mantle) were affected by significant metasomatism (piroxenitic vein hybridization), related with old subduction and/or delamination processes.
