Cadio, Cécilia. "Le volcanisme intraplaque dans le Pacifique central : apport de la gravimétrie spatiale." Paris 7, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA077188.
Full textThe origin of intraplate volcanism is a controversial topic. We especially question on the purely thermal or thermochemical origin of the involved geodynamical processes and on their origin depth. Moreover, the lithosphere may influence the volcanism and make tough the interpretation of surface observations in term of the mantle activity. In this thesis, we study, in a first part, the deep mantle structure under the Central Pacific, area marked by numerous volcanic structures. To that aim, we mainly use new high-quality satellite gravity data from the GRACE mission and the thermochemical oscillating dome models resulting from laboratory experiments. A multi-scale analysis, which allows us to unfold the different components of the geoid signal, underline two large-scale anomalies : the first, well-known, is negative and recovers the French Polynesia, the second, is positive and located 600 km east of the Line Islands chain. We also apply it on calculated geoid from the thermochemical oscillating dome models. The comparison, scale by scale, between the observed and synthetic geoid evidence that these thermochemical instabilities are consistent with the geoid anomalies and constitute a good candidate to explain the volcanism occurring in the Pacific, now (French Polynesia) and in the past (Line Islands, Shatsky Rise and Darwin Rise). We also bring constraints on the density and the upper bound of the domes. In a second part, we study the interaction between a mantle plume and the oceanic lithosphere, and focus on the example of Hawai. We develop a new method to compute wavelet admittance and wavelet coherence, which allows us to access the space-frequency variations of the geoid-to-topography ratio on the hawaiian swell. Our results, which are consistent with a recent seismic study, evidence a gradual lithospheric thinning moving along the island chain to the northwest. These observations, together with basic fluid-mechanical principles, suggest a hybrid model for the origin of the Hawaiian swell: the swell as a whole is supported dynamically, but small-scale secondary convection currents within the hottest central part of the swell cause the lithosphere to thin

Full textThe Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) is a satellite gravimetry mission, which provides the mean and time-varying global gravity fields. In this thesis, regional terrestrial water storage and sea level variations from GRACE are investigated. Groundwater storage variations (GWS) in North China are estimated from GRACE, and compared with in situ water table observations, groundwater model, and groundwater bulletins. The rate of groundwater depletion in North China based on GRACE and land surface models is 7. 1±1. 0 km3/yr from 2003 to 2010. In addition, GRACE detects obvious seasonal variations of seawater mass in the northern shallow water of South China Sea (SCS). On interannual timescales, sea level fluctuations in the SCS are dominated by the thermosteric effect and driven by El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. For the Red Sea, an annual amplitude of ~18 cm mass-induced SLV is detected from GRACE and steric-corrected altimetry from 2003 to 2011, which is well explained by the water exchange between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, which is driven by the seasonal reversal of monsoon

Full textRemote sensing can be considered as an important tool for studying the variations of water masses in large river basins due to a homogeneous sampling both in space and time. The objective of this PhD thesis was to develop new hydrological applications using measurements acquired by various types of satellite mission: radar altimetry, satellite imagery, gravimetry from space. Space altimetry is commonly used to study time variations of water level of large rivers, lakes and flooded zones. New hydrological products such as hydrological profiles or river slopes. Levelled limnimetric networks can thus be defined, with gauge stations on the rivers as well as on the flooded zones. Used in combination with imagery from space, satellite altimetry can be used to determine surface water volume variations in large river basins. These parameters are fundamental for hydrologists because hydrological profiles are necessary for hydrodynamic studies and distribution of water volume variations constrains the distribution of water masses between flooded zones and hydrographic network. Examples of use of these techniques are presented for the Amazon and the Mekong basins. In March 2002, a new generation of gravity missions was launched: the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) space mission. The objective of GRACE is to measure spatio-temporal variations of the gravity field with an unprecedented resolution and precision, over time scales ranging from a few months to several years. As gravity is an integral of mass, these spatio-temporal gravity variations represent horizontal mass redistributions only to the extent they are assumed to be caused by surface water changes. On time scales from months to decades, mass redistribution mainly occurs inside the surface fluid envelopes (oceans, atmosphere, ice caps, continental reservoirs) and is related to climate variability. An analysis of the evolution of water and snow mass is presented using the first monthly geoids from the GRACE mission, at global and regional scales, as well as the estimation of evapotranspiration rate at basin scale. These results are compared with surface water volume variations previously obtained for the Mekong basin

Full textIn regard with climate variability and human activities, recent advances in water resources observation, quantification and prediction have led to a growing interest in the geophysical community. Geodetic techniques allow measuring the shape and the gravity field of the Earth. These measurements are sensitive to the water mass distribution at the Earth’s surface over a wide range of time and space scales. Such techniques may thus provide valuable information about continental water storage changes. In the framework of the AMMA and GHYRAF projects, a bunch of actions have been set up in gravimetry, geodesy, geophysics and hydrology on a pilot site located in south-west Niger, at 70 km of the city of Niamey. The seasonal water cycle, in link with the West African monsoon, is studied at local scale by in situ measurements and at continental scale by satellite data. The observed gravity signal is analysed to retrieve local hydrogeological parameters, such as the drainage porosity. The uncertainties due to the presence of water in the first meters of soil are evaluated with in situ measurements. Porosity values estimated by gravimetry are compared to values of the aquifer water content derived from magnetic resonance soundings. The good agreement between these two independent geophysical methods, displaying different sensitivity as well as spatial and temporal resolutions, shows their potential to constrain local hydrogeological parameters. The spatial heterogeneity of the water storage is investigated at the small catchment scale (~ 2. 5 km2) by an intensive microgravity field campaign. Dynamic variations of the gravity are measured with small to medium amplitudes (≤ 220 nm s-2) and carefully analysed to evaluate the intraseasonal variability of the water storage. The heterogeneity of the water storage in the vadose zone appears as the main reason for the spatial variability of the gravimetric signal at local scale (<1 km)

Full textWith the advent of satellite gravity, new datasets of unprecedented precision become available and require the development of efficient methods of representation and analysis in spherical geometry. Wavelets are especially interesting because they allow to merge low resolution, satellite data with local, high resolution data within combined representations, and because they offer possibilities of analysis in a wide range of spatial scales. In this thesis, we develop a program to compute a discrete wavelet representation of the gravity field through a regularized least-squares inversion of gravity data, that we validate on synthetic cases. We present an application to the computation of a new gravity model in French Polynesia, based on a local densification of Grace-derived GGM02S model with satellite altimetry data. We also compute a 35km resolution zoom in a 900 km * 1100 km are around the Marquesas islands : instead of 300 000 spherical harmonics, only 9500 wavelets were necessary. We then analyze and interpret this combined gravity field in order to study the polynesian volcanism. To that aim, we develop a continuous wavelet analysis method using Poisson multipole wavelets, and establish a link between the coefficients of this analysis and the internal distribution of densities. We then show that the gravity signatures of the islands chains considerably vary from one chain to another, revealing different emplacement processes. In particular, we evidence a positive geoid anomaly at large scale associated to the Society islands. This anomaly cannot be explained by the effect to the bathymetry, and illustrates the deep, dynamic support of the Society chain by a convective plume. Lastly, we realize another application of wavelets dedicated to the study of large earthquakes in subduction zones, and especially the Sumatra-Andaman one

Full textAndesitic volcanoes in subduction zones are characterized by complex eruptive dynamics. Ground deformations are among less understood precursor signals of their explosive activity. They are related to internal dynamics as well as local tectonics and magma emplacement interactions. This study, focused on Lascar volcano (North Chile) and regional basement had two main objectives : 1) to better understand its recent activity from ground deformations and 2) to investigate its internal structure and relationships with local tectonics. We carried for that purposes a multidisciplinary study using different satellite and ground observations. Lascar is the most active volcano in Central Andes, one of the most adapted regions to investigate tectono-volcanic interactions. Furthermore, Lascar cyclic and historical activity makes it a very good candidate to study andesitic volcanoes dynamics. We improved Lascar recent activity understanding by showing and quantifying ground deformations from spatial geodesy methods and thermal variations using satellite observations. We also contributed with first detailed geophysical information (gravimetry) on Lascar volcanic complex internal structure as well as its links to previously fractured basement. Finally, we confirmed radar interferometry potentialities combined with ground geodetic observations (microgravity, GPS) to study and monitor this kind of edifices

Full textL'objectif de cette thèse a été de développer de nouvelles applications hydrologiques au moyen des mesures spatiales acquises par différents types de mission satellitaire : altimétrie radar, imagerie satellitaire, gravimétrie spatiale. L'altimétrie spatiale offre la possibilité d'étudier les variations de niveau d'eau des grands fleuves, des lacs et des zones d'inondation, garantissant ainsi une surveillance continue et globale des eaux de surface. Elle donne aussi accès à des produits hydrologiques nouveaux comme le profil hydrologique ou la pente des fleuves. Elle permet en outre de définir des réseaux limnimétriques nivelés, dont les stations peuvent être définis tant sur les fleuves que sur les zones d'inondation, complémentaires des réseaux in-situ. Combinée à l'imagerie spatiale, l'altimétrie satellitaire a été utilisée pour déterminer les variations de volume d'eau dans les grands bassins fluviaux. Ces paramètres revêtent, en effet, une importance fondamentale pour les hydrologues car le premier est à la base des études hydrodynamiques et le second apporte des contraintes sur la répartition des masses d'eau entre zones inondées et réseau hydrographique, avec des applications au transport des sédiments et à la disponibilité des ressources en eau à l'échelle régionale. Des exemples d'utilisation de ces techniques sont présentés pour les bassins amazoniens et du Mékong. La mission de gravimétrie spatiale GRACE, lancée en mars 2002, fournit, quant à elle, les variations spatio-temporelles des stocks d'eaux continentales (eau des sols et manteau neigeux) et de paramètres hydrologiques dérivés comme l'évapotranspiration. Une analyse de l'évolution des stocks d'eau et de neige est présentée à partir des premiers géoïdes mensuels issus de la mission GRACE, aux échelles globale et régionale, ainsi que le calcul du paramètre d'évapotranspiration, à l'échelle du bassin versant. Ces résultats sont comparés à la variation des volumes d'eau de surface obtenue précédemment pour le bassin du Mékong.

Full textQuantifying the mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), and the resulting sea level rise, requires an understanding of inter-annual variability and associated causal mechanisms. This has become more complex and challenging in the backdrop of global climate change. Very few studies have been exploring the influence of climate anomalies on the AIS and only a vague estimate of its impact is available. Usually changes to the ice sheet are quantified using observations from space-borne altimetry and gravimetry missions. In this study, we use data from Envisat (2002 to 2010) and Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) (2002 to 2016) missions to estimate monthly elevation changes and mass changes, respectively. Similar estimates of the changes are made using weather variables (surface mass balance (SMB) and temperature) from a regional climate model (RACMO2.3p2) as inputs to a firn compaction (FC) model. Using the firn compaction model we were able to model the transformation of snow into glacial ice and hence estimate changes in the elevation of the ice sheet using climate parameters.Elevation changes estimated from different techniques are in good agreement with each other across the AIS especially in West Antarctica, Antarctic Peninsula, and along the coasts of East Antarctica. Inter-annual height change patterns are then extracted using for the first time an empirical mode decomposition followed by a reconstruction of modes. These signal on applying least square method revealed a sub-4-year periodic signal in the all the three distinct height change patterns. This was indicative of the influence of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a climate anomaly that alters, among other parameters, moisture transport, sea surface temperature, precipitation, in and around the AIS at similar frequency by alternating between warm and cold conditions. But there existed altering periodic behavior among inter annual height change patterns in the Antarctic Pacific (AP) sector which was found possibly by the influence of multiple climate drivers, like the Amundsen Sea Low (ASL) and the Southern Annular Mode (SAM). A combined analysis of the three distinct estimates using a PCA (principal component analysis) along the coast revealed similar findings. Height change anomaly also appears to traverse eastwards from Coats Land to Pine Island Glacier (PIG) regions passing through Dronning Maud Land (DML) and Wilkes Land (WL) in 6 to 8 years. This is indicative of climate anomaly traversal due to the Antarctic Circumpolar Wave (ACW) which propagates anomalies through the Southern Ocean in 8 to 10 years. Altogether, inter-annual variability in the SMB of the AIS is found to be modulated by multiple competing climate anomalies

Full textThis work focuses on the development of a new generation of cold-atom inertial sensor. Its architecture is based on two independent atomic sources simultaneously interrogated by an interferometric sequence common to both sources. In addition, in order to achieve ultimate measurement performance, our instrument is based on the latest optical methods for atomic manipulation: Bloch oscillations and multi-photon transitions. During my thesis, the instrument has reached a level of development to perform a proof-of-principle operation, allowing to simultaneously measure the gravity acceleration g and its vertical gradient. In particular, we demonstrated a new measurement method that allows to overcome not only common mode noise, but also the baseline fluctuations of the instrument, for the determination of the gravity gradient. To carry out this work, I also used a prototype of industrial optical bench for space application, developed as part of a project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and coordinated by the Muquans company. In parallel with the developments of our instrument, we tested and characterized this fiber bench which fulfills all the optical functionalities necessary for the operation of an atom interferometer in space

Full textThe objective of this work is to analyze the temporal variations of the gravitational field, determined by the space mission Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), and its relationships to the dynamics of water in the Amazon basin area. For this reason, was developed a methodology to estimate the water level in not controlled stocks or difficult to reach floodplains. With this intention, the Stokes coefficients, calculated by the Groupe de Recherche de Geodesie Spatiale (GRGS) Toulouse-FR, were converted into equivalent water height (EWH) for a ~4-year period (July-2002 to May-2006). In this basin, the amplitudes of EWH signal are the largest on Earth and can reach about 1250mm at the center of the basin. Analysis of the uncertainties indicate that it represents ~160 mm of EWH in this basin, including Stokes coefficient uncertainties (~130 mm), leakage errors (12 ~ 21 mm) and spectrum truncation (10 ~ 15 mm). This amplitude was indirectly validated by the comparison between equivalent vertical crustal displacements due to surface water load and the vertical movements of the Manaus GPS permanent monitoring stations, near to the center of the basin. The values of EWH thus obtained were compared with the in-situ water level collected by the Brazilian National Agency of Water (ANA) at 233 ground-based hydrometric stations (HS). Although EWH and HS measure different water bodies, high correlation, up to ~80% in most of the cases, is detected. This high correlation allows adjusting linear relationships between both series for the major tributaries of the Amazon. The regression coefficients decrease from upstream to downstream along the rivers reaching the theoretical value 1 at the mouth of the Amazon in the Atlantic Ocean

Full textSpace gravimetry missions aim to determine the Earth gravity field with great accuracy. The data gathered are very useful in the sciences of climatology, hydrology or geophysics and to understand global climate change. These missions board state-of-the-art space electrostatic accelerometers displaying a very good sensitivity but also a long-term drift. By combining an electrostatic accelerometer with a very stable cold atom accelerometer, the correction of this drift is possible. Such accelerometers principle relies on atomic interferometry and one of the difficulties of space measurements is the interferometer contrast loss due the satellite rotation around the Earth. In this work, we experimentally implemented a method to limit the impact of rotation of the interferometer with an original setup. The hybrid lab prototype is the combination of an electrostatic accelerometer and a cold atom interferometer. The proof-mass of the electrostatic accelerometer, very well controlled in angle and position, is employed as an actuated retro-reflection mirror for the interferometer. The method tested to limit the rotation impact, consists in the rotation of the retro-reflection mirror to keep the direction of measurement constant during the interferometer. With the rotation compensation method, a contrast recovery up to 99% was demonstrated. Moreover, the impact of such a method on the phase shift bias was also measured and confronted to models. With an accurate model, the phase shift bias can be corrected from the measurement. Lastly, a study of the expected performances of a rotation compensated atom accelerometer boarded on a satellite was conducted. Under the considered hypothesis, the rotation should lead to an acceleration uncertainty of 7 x 10⁻¹⁰ ms⁻ ² for a 1 s interrogation time

Full textThe lake of an accurate geoid still prohibits to precisely computing from satellite altimetry the ocean absolute dynamic topography and only sea level anomalies (SLA) can be accurately deduced. In the new context of GODAE where models are assimilating satellite altimetry, the estimation of a realistic mean dynamic topography (MDT) consistent with SLA is a crucial issue. In a first direct approach, a MDT is computed by subtracting the recent geoid model EIGEN-2 to the mean sea surface height CLS01 determined from 7 years of altimetric data (TOPEX and ERS1,2) at spherical harmonics degree 30. To provide the scales shorter than 660 km, the levitus climatology is merged with the resulting MDT, both weighted by their respective errors. This solution provides a "first guess" for the computation of a global and full scale MDT. Then, a "synthetic" technique is used to combine in situ measurements and altimetric data : TOPEX and ERS1,2 altimetric anomalies are subtracted from in-situ measurements of the full dynamical signal (buoy's velocities from the WOCE-TOGA program and XBT, CTD casts). The resulting values provide local estimates of the mean field - in term of currents or dynamic topography - which are used to improve the first guess using an inverse technique. The obtained MDT is compared to other mean dynamic fields and a verification using independent in-situ data show improvements in most areas. It exhibits a more energetic representation of the subtropical and subpolar gyres ; sea level gradients associated with the main currents are strongly enhanced. Direct applications as front and eddy detection, surface transport estimation or the access from altimetry to ocean absolute circulation are reviewed

Full textSince 2002, GRACE provides estimates of the transfers of water-mass from land to the ocean. However, these estimates are uncertain as they show discrepancies when different approaches and different parameters are used to process the GRACE data. I revisit the treatment of GRACE data, paying a special attention to the different sources of errors and uncertainties. The main sources of uncertainty in the global water budget, at annual to interannual time scales, are the spread in the geocenter corrections and the uncertainty in the GIA correction. This is particularly true for the ocean mass and glacier and TWS mass change estimates for which the uncertainty in trends for the period from 2005 to 2015 is ±0.33mmSLE/yr

Full textNowadays, the scientific community has at its disposal gravity and gravity gradient datasets with unprecedented accuracy and spatial resolution that enhances our knowledge of Earth gravitational field at various scales and wavelengths, obtained from ground to satellite measurements. In parallel with gravimetry, the advancement of satellite observations provides the community with more detailed digital elevation models to reflect the Earth’s structure geometry. Together, these novel datasets provide a great opportunity to better understand the Earth’s structures and dynamics at local, regional, and global scales. The use and interpretation of these high-quality data require refinement of standard approaches in gravity-related data processing and analysis. This thesis consists of a series of studies aiming to improve the precision in the chain of gravity and gravity gradient data processing for geodynamic studies. To that aim, we develop a tool, named GEEC (Gal Eötvös Earth Calculator) to compute precisely the gravity and gravity gradients effects of due to any mass body regardless of its geometry and its distance from measurements. The gravity and gravity gradients effects are computed analytically using the line integral solution of an irregular polyhedron. The validations at local, regional, and global scales confirm the robustness of GEEC’s performance, where the resolution of the model, that depends on both size of the body mass and its distance from the measurement point, control strongly the accuracy of the results. We present an application for assessing the optimum parameters in computing gravity and gravity gradients due to topography variations. Topography has a major contribution in Earth gravitational attraction, therefore the estimation of topography effects must be carefully considered in the processing of gravity data, especially in areas of rugged topography or in large-scale studies. For high-accuracy gravity studies at a global scale, the topography correction process must consider the topography effect of the entire Earth. But for local to regional applications based on relative variations within the zone, we show that truncated topography at a specific distance can be adequate, although, ignoring the topography pas this distance could produce errors. To support these arguments, we show the relationships between gravity relative errors, topography truncation distance, and the extent of study zone. Lastly, we approach the issue: Are GOCE measurements relevant to obtain a detailed image of the structure of a subducting plate, including its geometry and lateral variation? The results of gravity gradient forward modelling using synthetic subduction models computed at GOCE’s mean altitude (255 km) demonstrate that both subduction edges and lateral variations of subduction angle produce gravity gradient variations that are detectable with GOCE dataset (∼100 km wavelength and 10 mE amplitude). However, in the application to the real case of Izu-Bonin-Mariana subduction zone, the second-order geometric features of the subducting plate are difficult to be detected due to the presence of the remaining crustal effects. This is caused by the inaccuracy of the existing global crustal model, that leads to inaccurate crustal effect removal

Full textRecent progresses in geosciences make more and more multidisciplinary data available for mining exploration. This allows developing methodologies to compute predictivity for gold zones by the statistical analysis of variable input parameters. Using newly developed software, the spatial distribution and the topology of polygons (e.g. intrusions) and polylines (e.g. shear zones) are controlled by parameters defined by users (e.g. density, length, surface, etc.). The distance of points of interest (gold deposits) with respect to a given type of objects (polygons or polylines) is given using a probability distribution function. The statistical analyses of output results from the direct modeling process show that i) values of relative surface mean of polygons, relative length mean of polylines, the number of objects and their clustering are critical to statistical appraisals, ii) the validity of the different tested inversion methods strongly depends on the relative importance and on the dependency between the parameters used, and iii) the robustness of the inferred distribution points of interest laws with respect to the quality of the input data. This approach was applied to the geological and geophysical data of the Yenissei ridge of the total area of 75730 km2 for the predictivity mapping of 29 new gold zones with the total area of 1811 km2. The newly developed method allows reducing up to four times of the area of predictivity gold zones, compared with previous studies. For more accurate construction of gold zones, a 3D density model of the Yenisei ridge was constructed. This model is based on surface gravity and aeromagnetic data (numerical grids of 1x1km), ―Batholite‖ and ―Shpate‖ seismic and magnetotelluric profiles, respectively. The 3D density model shows that: a) the Yenissei ridge has a cover-folded structure, formed during a Neopretorozoic collisional event, b) only γNPta Tatarsky-Ayhta granites and shear zones have spatial relationships with gold mineralization
