Full textSediments contained in fjords have a high potential to reconstruct paleoenvironmental changes since these glacial valleys located at the interface of continent and ocean are generally characterized by high sedimentation rates. Fjords are long narrow valleys that were deeply incised during successive glaciations and interglacial periods. They typically contain glacial deposits and landforms that inform on past variations of ice margins. Fjords can also exist in lacustrine environments, such as in alpine area or formerly glaciated regions, where the glacio-isostatic rebound combined with the postglacial marine regression isolated the fjord from the sea. Many fjord-lakes are found in Québec and Labrador, but the evolution of these lacustrine basins since deglaciation is poorly documented, as many worldwide analogues of these type of lakes are still glaciated today, or are located in alpine regions where no marine transgression ever occurred. Hydroacoustic technologies such as multibeam bathymetry and sub-bottom profiles allow visualizing at a high resolution the morpho-stratigraphy of subaquatic basins in order to interpret the major events that modeled their basins and lead to a better understanding of their past and modern sedimentary dynamics. Using such an approach in fjord-lakes located at key locations would also allow refining history of last glaciation in areas where only few paleoenvironmental studies exist. This thesis reports and describes multibeam bathymetry data and sub-bottom profiles collected in eight fjord-lakes of Québec (lakes Mékinac, Jacques-Cartier, Pohénégamook, Témiscouata, Pentecôte, Walker & Pasteur) and Labrador (Grand Lake), as well as Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of their valleys and surrounding areas. The analysis that combine geomorphology and sismostratigraphy allow: 1) reconstructing the sequence of deglaciation in Mauricie (Southern Québec) and eastern Labrador; 2) refining the location of the Mars-Batiscan morainic belt as well as the transgression limit of the deglacial Champlain Sea on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River; 3) a better understanding of the dynamics of ice retreat in the fjords of Mékinac and Grand during climatic cold episodes (Younger Dryas and 8.2 ka BP event, respectively); and 4) establishing a model of morpho-stratigraphic evolution for fjord-lakes of Québec-Labrador, from deglaciation to the postglacial period.

Full textThe aim of this study is to constrain recent deformation and stratigraphic evolution of an active margin, using sismo-stratigraphic analysis of Pleistocene sediment preserved on the margin shelf and upper slope along of the Central Ecuadorian margin. From the extensive geophysical and sedimentological investigations carried out during the ATACAMES expedition (2012), we are identified serveral basins in the Ecuadorian margin. A detailed analysis of the thickness, the lateral distribution and stacking patterns in these basins show a complex distribution of sediments in time and space. The seismic-sequence stratigraphy analysis related to eustatic cycles of the Pleistocene shows a regional regional unconformity at the base (1782-Ka as minimum age), which can correspond to the signature of the beginning of the Carnegie ridge collision

Full textLate-quaternary deposits analysis of the inner shelf and littoral area of the gulf of lion is performed. Dataset consists of high resolution seismic, completed in littoral area with new very high resolution data. Lithological and chronological calibration is based on cores and wells. Stratigraphic pattern differs from an eastern sector front of the rhône deltaic plain and a southern sector front of the languedoc-roussillon plains. The eastern area comprises retrograding parasequences of the transgressive systems tract including two paleo-beach barriers dated from younger dryas and early holocene (8,2 ky cal bp). The highstand prograding deposits constitutes the rhône deltaic plain and prodetaic lobes. In the southern area, the thin trangressive systems tract comprises aggrading parasequences overlaid by the highstand deposits (modern littoral wedge and backbarrier lagoonal deposits). Lateral variation of the stratigraphic organisation results from the interaction beween glacio-eustatism and local factors such as the variations of sediment supply (rhodanian area) or the paleo-topography induced by the pliocene substratum or an incised valleys system made of 4th order imbricated depositional sequences in the southern area

Full textDes données bathymétriques à haute résolution acquises à l'aide d’un sonar multifaisceaux et d’un interféromètre ont permis de cartographier pour la première fois la géomorphologie subaquatique des lacs Pentecôte, Walker et Pasteur, trois fjords lacustres profonds et rapprochés sur la Côte-Nord (Est du Canada). Ces anciens bassins sédimentaires glaciomarins ont été isolés par le relèvement glacio-isostatique pour évoluer en lacs profonds et allongés aux versants abrupts. Leur position géographique clé et leurs caractéristiques limnogéologiques typiques des fjords présentent un potentiel exceptionnel pour des reconstitutions paléoenvironnementales à haute résolution sur une longue période de temps. Une modélisation du potentiel hydraulique suggère que le Lac Walker a probablement existé en tant que lac sous-glaciaire sous l’Inlandsis laurentidien pendant le Dernier Maximum Glaciaire, suggérant que des sédiments pourraient avoir échappé à l'érosion glaciaire et contenir des paléo-enregistrements de la et/ou des dernière(s) glaciation(s). Ces lacs, localisés à proximité des systèmes morainiques du Dryas récent et inondés lors de la transgression marine postglaciaire de la Mer de Goldthwait, ont préservé des archives sédimentaires laminées jusqu'à aujourd'hui, enregistrant les changements paléoenvironnementaux produits depuis la dernière déglaciation. Les profils acoustiques de sous-surfaces acquis à l'aide d'un Chirp bi-fréquences (3.5. et 12 kHz), ainsi que les carottes de sédiment ont révélé la présence de quatre unités sédimentaires. Le soubassement acoustique (U1), c.-à-d. le socle rocheux et/ou les sédiments de contact glaciaire, révèle la présence de vallées rocheuses en forme de V au fond des lacs qui ont possiblement échappé à l’érosion glaciaire. Les moraines observées dans les lacs et à l’embouchure de leur vallée structurale indiquent une déglaciation rapide ponctuée par de courtes stabilisations glaciaires. Au cours de la déglaciation et à la suite de leur isolation, les lacs ont été remplis par d’épais sédiments rythmiquement laminés de silts et d’argile (U2) déposés pendant l’épisode marin et/ou glaciolacustre, qui ont été perturbés par des mouvements de masse durant la déglaciation. Des datations AMS 14C révèlent que la déglaciation des bassins versants des lacs Pentecôte et Walker et le développement des conditions para- et postglaciaires sont survenus vers < 7995 à 8160 et < 7845-7950 cal BP respectivement. Le développement des longues plaines deltaïques à la tête des lacs au cours de l'Holocène, a généré une source constante de sédiments fluviatiles (U3) et la formation de structures sous-marines en forme de croissant sur la pente subaquatique des deltas. La partie supérieure (c.-à-d. ~ 4 à ~ 6,5 m) de la séquence sédimentaire des lacs révèle un enregistrement continu des conditions para- et postglaciaires (U4) qui contiennent des sédiments rythmiquement laminés (possiblement des varves) et une série de couches déposées rapidement. Ces sédiments riches en matières organiques montrent que de faibles taux de sédimentation ont prévalu dans les lacs depuis la déglaciation de leur bassin versant et qu’ils ont diminué au cours de l'Holocène.
High-resolution bathymetric data acquired using a multibeam echosounder and an interferometric side-scan sonar allowed mapping for the first time the sublacustrine geomorphology of the lakes Pentecôte, Walker and Pasteur, three deep adjacent fjord-lakes of the Québec North Shore (eastern Canada). These formerly glaciomarine sedimentary basins have been glacio-isostatically uplifted to form deep steep-sided elongated lakes. The key geographical position and their limnogeological characteristics typical of fjords show exceptional potential for paleoenvironmental reconstructions at high resolution on a long period of time. A hydraulic potential modelling suggest that the Lake Walker probably existed as a subglacial lake beneath the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the LGM suggesting that sediments could have escaped glacial erosion and may contain paleo-records of the last glaciation(s). These lakes, located near Younger Dryas morainic systems, were flooded during the Goldthwait Sea postglacial marine transgression and have preserved laminated sediment archives until today which contain sedimentary archives that recorded paleo-environmental changes that have occurred since the last deglaciation. Acoustic sub-bottom profiles acquired using a bi-frequency Chirp echosounder (3.5 & 12 kHz), together with cm-short and m-long sediment core data, reveal the presence of four sedimentary units. The acoustic basement (U1), related to the structural bedrock and/or the ice-contact sediments of the Laurentide Ice-Sheet reveal the presence of V-shaped bedrock valleys at the bottom of the lakes that possibly escaped glacial erosion. Moraines observed at the bottom of the lake and in their structural valleys indicate an overall fast deglaciation punctuated by short-term ice margin stabilizations. Following ice-retreat and their isolation, the fjord-lakes were filled by thick sequence of rhythmically laminated silts and clays (U2) deposited during marine and/or glaciolacustrine settings which were disturbed by mass-movements during the deglaciation. AMS 14C dating reveal that the deglaciation of the lakes Pentecôte and Walker watersheds and the development of para- and postglacial conditions occurred at < 7995 – 8160 and < 7845–7950 cal BP respectively. The development of the long lake-head river delta plain during the Holocene, generated a constant source of fluvial sediments supply (U3) and the formation of crescentic and creeping bedforms on the sublacustrine deltas slope. Lakes reveal in the upper (i. e., ~4 to ~6.5 m of their sediment infill a continuous para- to postglacial sediment record (U4) that contain laminated sediment (possibly varves) and a series of rapidly deposited layers. These organic-rich sediments show that low rates of sediment accumulation have prevailed in the lakes since the deglaciation of their watershed and have decreased during the Holocene.

Full textThe problem of the peopling of america is examined through the archaeological analysis of the rockshelter of pedra furada, in the caatinga of north-east brazil. The development of the excavations, and the site's chronology and chronostratigraphy are presented in detail. Fifty-four radiocarbon dates spanning the period from 50,000 to 5,000 bp, associated with several thousand lithic objects and with 162 structures, constitute the proof of the oldest human occupation known on the american continent. Three cultural levels have been defined in the upper pleistocene (pedra furada phases) and three in the first half of the holocene (serra talhada and agreste phases) on the basis of the lithic industries, the habitation structures and the hearths. The study of the spatial relationships among these remains has made it possible to put forward hypotheses about human interaction with the environment and about the utilization of the site, while the topography of the rock paintings in the shelter has led to the development of new ideas concerning the region's parietal art.

Full textThis study proposes a reconstruction of the quaternary sedimentary history of two Bahamian slopes (leeward and windward). This work is based on the stratigraphicand sedimentary analysis of 34 marine cores recovered mainly from the CARAMBAR oceanographic cruse (2010). A high-resolution stratigraphic study was conducted by coupling several tools including ecostratigraphy based on planktonic foraminifera assemblages, which allowed dating all sedimentary sequences despite early diagenesis processes. The sedimentary analysis of the marine cores proposes a new classification for carbonate sediment. It characterizes the dominant particle distributions at the time of deposition and allows for discriminating the fine sediments and for determining the depositional processes such as off-bank transport, contouritic or gravity deposits, and slightly altered sediment. Off-bank transport is the mainprocess responsible for high-accumulation of platform carbonate ooze (aragonite needles and silt) on the Bahamian slopes. It predominates during major flooding of the platform, so during the last 4 ka cal BP, the MIS 5e and at the on set of the MIS11. Intra-slope erosion, bottom currents, and early marine diagenesis processes have also been highlighted. The leeward slope is characterized by a high accumulation of wackestone sediment where as the windward slope preserved its Pliocene morphology with local quaternary sediment accumulation (wackestone to packstone)

Full textAn analysis of multi-beam echo sounder, sub-bottom profiler (Chirp) and multichannel seismic,highligths the present-day sedimentary dynamics and the Neogene-Quaternary architectural and stratigraphicevolution along the northwestern leeward margin of the Great Bahama Bank.The morpho-bathymetric analysis reveals an aragonite mud-dominated slope, and a broad spectrum ofsedimentary structures, related to various hydrodynamic processes. The density cascading currents associatedwith tidal currents and prevailing easterly winds correspond to the dominant transport mechanisms operatingalong the margin. The Bimini area displays a short and steep slope, stabilized at shelf edge by rimmed reefalbarrier, which constrains the off-bank export of materials.The stratigraphic architecture shows a complex evolution of the slope during the Neogene. The end ofthe Paleogene is marked by a continuous aggrading slope detached from the shelf by a fault escarpment. It passesinto a low angle slope-apron attached to the platform in the Miocene, and ends with an accretionary system witha steepened slope in the Pleistocene. Although the slope deposits are mud-dominated, they show rapid lateralvariations (< 30 km) from South to North throughout the Neogene with the establishment of turbidite aprons,debrite layers and large Mass Transport Complexes. These facies interact since the Langhian with the SantarenDrift which gradually extends and migrates along the slope until today. The maximum extent of the drift occursduring the upper Pliocene and coincides with a global oceanographic reorganization and major climate changesin the northern hemisphere, related to the closure of the Central American Seaway

Full textLes travaux entrepris depuis une dizaine d'années sur la marge du Golfe du Lion (Méditerranée occidentale) montrent qu'il s'agit d'une zone exceptionnelle pour explorer l'impact de la variabilité climatique et glacio-eustatique sur l'organisation stratigraphique des sédiments. Les séquences sédimentaires liées aux grands cycles tardi-pléistocènes de 100 000 ans, révélées par la sismique, ont été échantillonnées et interprétées grâce aux données multi-proxies des forages du projet européen "Promess-1". La révision du modèle stratigraphique de la marge, propagé sur l'ensemble de la plateforme, a contribué à préciser les modèles conceptuels de la stratigraphie séquentielle. L'analyse sismo- et litho-stratigraphique à plus haute résolution révèle également l'enregistrement de séquences liées à des cycles climatiques beaucoup plus courts durant le dernier cycle glaciaire (~130 000 ans). L'association des événements de Heinrich et de Dansgaard-Oeschger dans les cycles génériques de Bond présente une expression stratigraphique distincte, sous la forme de paraséquences régressives. Enfin, la modélisation de l'agencement des structures sédimentaires associées à la remontée du niveau marin lors de la dernière déglaciation (~20 000 ans) souligne le rôle des événements climatiques extrêmes dans la formation du message sédimentaire. Cette étude présente enfin une confirmation semi-quantitative et bien contrainte dans le temps, du rôle fondamental des variations du niveau marin et des flux sédimentaires dans l'organisation des séquences de dépôt, y compris à l'échelle des événements climatiques rapides.

Full textFjords and troughs are common geomorphological systems on high-latitude coasts and continental shelves where they embody the most obvious expression of the erosional power of past and present-day glaciers. While recent satellite data have brought crucial insights on how ice sheet and glacier dynamics have evolved on a decadal timescale, they do not provide a long-term overview (centennial to millennial scale) that is consequent with long-term evolution of climate. Centennial-to-millennial data on long-term evolution of ice sheets can, however, be obtained by investigating the geomorphology of deglaciated systems such as fjords and crossshelf troughs. Fjords and cross-shelf troughs of deglaciated high-latitude coasts and continental shelves have the potential to provide knowledge on deglacial dynamics from a complete marine-terminating ice sheet to a full terrestrial-based ice sheet. Here, swath bathymetry and seismic reflection data, together with geomorphological maps, are used to investigate palaeo-glacial history of the northeastern Baffin Island fjords and continental shelf. We present marine geophysical evidence that during the marine isotope stage 2 (MIS-2; 29 – 14 ka BP), the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) extended to the edge of the continental shelf, seaward of the previously proposed glacial limits. The LIS subsequently retreated episodically westward during the Late-Foxe and Holocene deglaciation. A glacial landsystem approach has then been used to investigate ice-sheet retreat through the northeastern Baffin Island fjords. The geomorphology and landforms-assemblages preserved since deglaciation on the seafloor reveal that: 1) ice streaming was probably active until the late stage of deglaciation; 2) bathymetric highs acted as sticky spots and therefore as obstacles to fast ice-flow; 3) crystalline bedrock did not act as sticky spot as suggested for other palaeo-ice streams in North America; 4) factors favoring ice-margin stability include funnel-shaped bathymetry, bends and climate forcing; 5) tidewater-glaciers can achieve icemargin stability on retrograde slopes and in deep (>800 m) basins; and 6) during deglaciation, sedimentation in fjords has been dominated by gravity-driven flows. The geomorphological analysis also enabled the identification of the flow-switch of an ice stream that occurred during the Pliocene-Pleistocene on the shelf, through glacial erosion and overdeepening of marginal troughs, i.e., deep parallel-to-coast bedrock moats located upice of cross-shelf troughs. Shelf geomorphology imaged by high-resolution swath bathymetry and seismostratigraphic data in the troughs provides evidence for the extension of ice streams from Scott and Hecla & Griper troughs towards the interior of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. This up-ice extension of the Scott ice stream along a marginal trough and into the Sam Ford icedrainage basin led to the capture the Sam Ford ice stream, causing a flow-switch and a shutdown of ice streaming in Sam Ford Trough. Finally, geomorphological mapping led to the production of a series of 50 maps of submarine glacial landforms in the fjords and cross-shelf troughs of northeastern Baffin Island, in which 24 types of landform associated with subglacial, ice-marginal or paraglacial environments were systematically mapped (>55 000 individual landforms).

Full textEarth’s climate oscillated during the Late Quaternary and these variations influenced sedimentary records worldwide. However, the associated changes of global sea-level and of environmental factors are not precisely documented, neither are their stratigraphic signatures. The extensive geophysical and sedimentological investigations carried out in the Gulf of Lions (Western Mediterranean) since the 90’s allow us to explore the expanded sedimentary records preserved on this continental margin during the Late Quaternary. The combination of high sediment supply and significant subsidence favoured an almost continuous record, at the shelf edge, of sedimentary sequences linked to 100 kyr glacio-eustatic and climatic cycles. The Gulf of Lions is therefore an ideal area for calibration of climatic and sea-level variations from the continental margin architecture. First interpreted from seismic data, these sequences have been sampled and analysed by the EC-funded “Promess 1” drilling operation. This high resolution record of the last ca. 500 kyr provides a new detailed litho- and chrono-stratigraphic framework. It allows a revised high-resolution, tri-dimensional sequence stratigraphic analysis of the margin. It also reveals, from an ultra-high resolution multi-proxy analysis of the last glacial cycle (~130 kyr), the stratigraphic and sedimentary imprints of millennium-scale climatic events such as Heinrich events and the cooling Bond cycles. Finally, the quantitative numerical modelling of the last deglacial period evidences the influence of a very high sediment flux and co pulses of sea-level rises (driven by rapid climatic events) on the architecture of the deltaic system

Full textThe origin of the "laguna de babicora" is related to the early tertiary compressive pattern of the pacific margin and to the distensive pattern during the late tertiary. The geomorphological features of the basin are determinated at the plio pleistocene by the basaltic lava flows. Among the different techniques used during the experimental works, graphical and statistical representation and the study of the break poit of the granulometric sub-population provide an interpretation about the trasport and the depositional environment of the sediments. Four types of transport can be defined : rolling, rolling and saltation, rolling-saltation-suspension and rolling-suspension which qualitatively translate show the hydrodynamic phenomena. An attempt at stratigraphic correlation relying on principal components and cluster analysis reveals that the n. W and s. E. Sides of the basin are characterized by sediments deposited whtin an aquatic environment whereas the n. And n. E sides conceal rhythmic deposits, the later constitute, from a tectonic and paleoclimatic point of view the active side and the absence of lacustrine terrace supports the hypothesis of the "pull apart basin". Supported by radiometric data, the relation climate sedimentation shows : lacustrine deposits during the late holocene, fluvitile et lacustri ne during the middle holocene, fluvial-short but intensive- during the early holocene

Full textTurbidite systems present both academic and industrial interests since they are archives of environmental conditions and potential oil reservoirs. Among many parameters controlling the sedimentary organization, the continental slope inclination appears to be a major parameter. The analysis of slope inclination’s and these variations on the hydrodynamic of sedimentary flows and thus on turbidite systems architecture is a crucial character for both academic and industrial interests. The Pliocene-Quaternary turbidite systems of the Gulf of Genoa and upper margin of the Ivorian Cretaceous develop on margins with steep slope profiles controlled by tectonic processes and are suitable and complementary items for the Study of turbidite sedimentation in context of abrupt margin. This work is based on the high-resolution analysis of acoustic data (bathymetry, multibeam imaging, seismic THR, sidescan sonar) acquired on the steep margin of the Gulf of Genova (Malisar, Fables, Prism, Gelo) and the analysis of a 3D seismic block on the Ivorian steep margin. Turbidite accumulations of two sites demonstrate particle segregation processes with trapping coarser particles into specific structures such as plunge pools and cyclic steps. The detailed study of these bodies related to hydraulic jump sheds a new light on the continuity of sand bodies in the transition canyon / lobe and allows the designing of a new reservoir model scenario. Further analysis of these two areas of study shows the direct impact of tectonic activity on the architecture of turbidite accumulations by establishing and maintaining a nick area where the phenomenon of hydraulic jump can be maintained over time

Full textThe shortage of local aggragate ores (more particularily from alluvial origines) leads industrial companies to prospect for new potential ores including marine areas. The inner continental shelf (0-60 m) corresponds to the offshore extension of continental landscapes, reworked by eustatic, climatic and tectonic variations during the Quaternary (2. 6 Myrs-Today). The objective of this thesis is to characterize both the morphology and sedimentary filling of these basins, making the part of eustatic, climatic and tectonic influences on sediments onset. Two areas, chosen because of their good geological context representativeness, have been studied by seismic reflexion, surfacial coring and 3D topographic and sedimlentary reconstitutions. These two areas are 1) the Palaeo Valley of the Etel River (Southern Brittany) and 2) the Ecrehou Basin in the Normand-Breton Gulf. This study consists in an exploration of poorly known areas, carrying interests for both academic research (continental margins knowledge) and industrial sector (new potential material ores). It appaears that Atlantic inner shelf morphology corresponds to the remnant of fluvial topographies (Mid Pleistocene) several times reused since their onset and showing a poor sediments preservation capacity. The Etel Palaeo valley is only filled with transgressive tidal to marine deposits dated between 9 Kyrs BP to present. The onset of these valleys seems to respond to the evolution of quaternary climate dynamic (Mid Pleistocene Transition) and high frenquency eustatic variations since this period. In the Normand-Breton Gulf, the basin sedimentary filling presents a far better preservation capacity (preserving Early and Late Pleistocene deposits) associated to more active tectonic pattern than the Atlantique margin. This filling is dominated by tidal environnements. Basically, at the scale of the whole Armorican Massif, the tectonic forcing seems to modulate the effect of eustatic variations on sediment preservation. This latter is in any case maximum during transgressions and minimum or negative during sea lowstand periodes

Full textThe members of the Inuit community of Kugluktuk in Nunavut wish to make corrections to the damages affecting the ATV trails leading to the Kugluk Territorial Park. The dominant problems are the deepening of ice wedge furrows at trail crossovers, formation of mud puddles and erosion of parts of the trail along head scarps of retrogressive landslides. Given the urgent need for action, local authorities and the Government of Nunavut's Parks and Special Places (NP&SP) department designed two types of seasonal infrastructure: 1-a summer road on a thin (50 cm) embankment from the village road network to the park entrance and, 2-a boardwalk trail laid about 30 cm high above the tundra surface inside the park area. This collaborative research project aims to characterize the permafrost conditions along the new road corridor in support of construction works and to suggest locally adapted mitigation approaches to prevent the degradation of permafrost.The applied multi-technique research methodology includes high resolution mapping of surficial geology and permafrost conditions, acquisition of high-resolution aerial photographs with a drone, making of a digital elevation model, ground penetrating radar surveys, geotechnical coring, geotechnical laboratory analyses, thermal analysis with on-site data from ground temperature monitoring stations and, finally, numerical simulations of permafrost temperatures for the period 2020-2100. Results indicate the presence of a wide zone of thaw sensitive permafrost along a part of the summer road; in addition, the two road types together will cross over about 379 ice-wedge furrows. Historical regional climate analysis reveals that global warming already provoked an increase of 2°C of the mean annual air temperature since 1950. A new mitigation technique intended for reducing ice wedge degradation under the summer gravel road has been suggested and discussed with the community. According to geothermal model results, the new infrastructures shall preserve the permafrost and the ice wedges from thawing in the future.

Full textMickey Springs in the Alvord Desert, southeast Oregon, is analogous to other Basin and Range hydrothermal systems where the requisite conditions of heat source and permeable pathways are met through crustal thinning due to normal faulting. This study examines the morphology and lifespan of near-surface spring features through use of ground penetrating radar, thermoluminescence (TL) dating, and elevation modeling. Duration of hydrothermal activity at Mickey Springs has not previously been determined, and age determinations of sinter at the site are conflicting. The reason for and timing of this change in silica saturation in the hydrothermal fluid has not been resolved.
Three morphologies of silica sinter deposition have been identified at Mickey Springs. These are (1) well-sorted, fine-grained sandstone with ripple marks, cross beds and preserved root casts, to poorly-sorted conglomerate of primarily basalt clasts, both cemented by coeval silica deposition, (2) large depressions (12-32 m diameter) rimmed with sinter, characterized by fine silt and clay blanketing a sinter apron and infilling the central depression, and (3) quaquaversal sinter mounds identified by outcropping pool-edge sinter typically surrounding a shallow depression of loose sediment.
Silica-cemented sandstone and conglomerate were the first features formed by coeval hydrothermal processes at the site, and were emplaced prior to 30 kya as suggested by structural and stratigraphic relationships. Structure between two interacting fault tips may have constrained the extent of silica cementation. By 30 kya, a left-stepping fault oriented roughly north/south further constrained the near-surface permeable zone. TL dates from sediment stratigraphically below and above sinter aprons around mounds and depressions (former spring vents) indicate sinter deposition between 30 and 20 kya. Location of these features was dictated by development of the left-stepping fault. As pluvial Lake Alvord filled at the end of the Pleistocene, lake sediment filled most vents, which were largely inactive, with fine-grained silt and clay.
Today, hydrothermal activity persists in two modes: (1) The current high-temperature springs, steam vents and mudpots concentrated in a 50 x 50 m area south of the sinter mounds and depressions, and (2) scattered springs and steam vents that exploit previous permeable pathways that once provided the hydrothermal fluid which precipitated the sinter aprons. Currently there is no active silica sinter deposition at Mickey Springs.
Structures and stratigraphic relationships identified through this study favor a transport-limited and structurally controlled model of fluid transport. Sinter deposition is determined to have occurred before the most recent highstand of pluvial Lake Alvord. A climate driven model, where groundwater recharge from pluvial Lake Alvord circulates to a deep heat source and enhances spring discharge, is not supported by these findings, as no evidence was found for sinter precipitation after the drying of the lake. Future studies of other hydrothermal systems in the Basin and Range may reveal that permeable pathways along local structures are the primary drivers in this region.
