6. Masao OHNO, Masahiko Sato, Tatsuya Hayashi, Yoshihiro Kuwahara, Chizuru Miyagawa, Shu Fujita, Itsuro Kita, A rock-magnetic proxy of deep water circulation in the North Atlantic during the early Pleistocene, Asia Oceania Geoscience Society, 2014.07, Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) plays an important role in global climate change linked with continental ice sheets. To clarify the variation of THC in the early stage of glaciations in northern hemisphere, we studied a deep-sea sediment core with high sedimentation rate between 2.2 and 2.7 Ma recovered at IODP Site U1314 in the North Atlantic..

We have performed Ice-rafted detritus (IRD) counts, XRD measurement, rock-magnetic analysis of the sediments at every 2cm interval, that is, at every 100~200 years approximately..
8. This paper reports the results of clay mineral analysis (the amount of clay fraction, clay mineral assemblages, illite crystallinity) of samples collected from a drilled core (Rabibhawan (RB) core) located in the westcentral part of the Kathmandu Basin on the southern slope of the Central Himalaya. The amount of clay fraction in the core sediments between 12 m and 45 m depth (corresponding to ca. 17–76 ka), which belong to the Kalimati Formation, is variable and shows three clay-poor zones (19–31 ka, 44–51 ka, and 66–75 ka). The variations correspond with those of illite crystallinity index (Lanson index (LI) and modified Lanson index (MLI)) and kaolinite/illite ratio as well as the fossil pollen and diatom records reported by previous workers. These data reveal the following transformations occurring during the weathering process in this area:

micas (mainly muscovite)→illite(→illite−smectitemixedlayer mineral(R = 1))→kaolinite

The sedimentation rate (~50 cm/kyr) of clay-poor zones that correspond to dry climate intervals is only half that of clay-rich zones (~120 cm/kyr) that correspond to wet climate intervals, indicating weakened chemical weathering and erosion and low suspended discharge during dry climate intervals. The clay-poor zones commonly show unique laminite beds with very fine, authigenic calcite, which was probably precipitated under calm and high calcite concentration conditions caused by low precipitation and run-off. The variations between dry and wet conditions in this area as deduced from clay minerals appear to follow the Indian Summer Monsoon Index (ISMI) (30°N–30°S, 1 July) and northern hemisphere summer insolation (NHSI) signals (30°N) at 1 July, especially during the dry climate zones, whereas the wet maxima of the wet climate zones somewhat deviate from the strongest NHSI. On the other hand, the dry–wet records lead markedly the SPECMAP stack (by about 5000 years). These results suggest that the Indian summer monsoon precipitation was strongly controlled by the NHSI or summer insolation difference between the Himalayan–Tibetan Plateau and the subtropical Indian Ocean, showing a major fluctuation on the 23,000 years precessional cycle, and that it was not driven by changes in high-latitude ice volume, although the records of clay mineral indices during the wet intervals leave a question that other factors, in addition to insolation forcing, may play important roles in weathering, erosion, and sedimentation processes..
9. The dissolution behavior of the barite (001) surface in pure water at 30°C was investigated using in situ AFM, to better understand the dissolution mechanism and the microtopographical changes that occur during the dissolution. The dissolution of the barite (001) surface could be divided into three stages. The first stage of the dissolution was characterized only by the retreat of various steps that were formed mechanically by the initial cleaving. During the second stage, the change in the retreat behavior (from a step with one layer to a “f” step with an upper half-unit cell layer and a “s” step with a lower half-unit cell layer) and the formation of etch pits were observed. The last stage of the dissolution was characterized by an increase of the stable steps parallel to the [010] direction, followed by a decrease of steps parallel to , and the development of angular deep etch pits..

15. In situ AFM study on smectite and muscovite dissolutions under high pH conditions.
16. The dissolution behaviors of muscovite and smectite under alkaline conditions at 25°C to 50°C were investigated using in-situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) with an air/fluid heater system, in order to understand the dissolution mechanism and to derive reliable dissolution rates of these minerals.The both minerals showed the same dissolution behavior in which the reactive surface was only the edge surfaces and any new etch pits were not formed on the basal surfaces within the experimental durations. The dissolution rates normalized to the edge surface area (ESA) of these minerals were also approximately the same. In addition, the effects of temperature on the ESA-normalized dissolution rates were very similar each other. These results suggest that the dissolution mechanisms (e.g., reactive surface, the rate-limiting step) of muscovite and smectite are identical each other. The dissolution rates normalized to the total surface area (TSA) of initial particle size (smectite) or initial etch pit size (muscovite) varied with the particle or etch pit size, respectively..
