    Description / Table of Contents: We report here the first detailed 2D tomographic image of the crust and upper mantle structure of a Cretaceous seamount that formed during the interaction of the Pacific plate and the Louisville hotspot. Results show that at not, vert, similar ~1.5 km beneath the seamount summit, the core of the volcanic edifice appears to be dominantly intrusive, with velocities faster than 6.5 km/s. The edifice overlies both high lower crustal (〉 7.2-7.6 km/s) and upper mantle (〉 8.3 km/s) velocities, suggesting that ultramafic rocks have been intruded as sills rather than underplated beneath the crust. The results suggest that the ratio between the volume of intra-crustal magmatic intrusion and extrusive volcanism is as high as not, vert, similar ~4.5. In addition, the inversion of Moho reflections shows that the Pacific oceanic crust has been flexed downward by up to not, vert, similar ~2.5 km beneath the seamount. The flexure can be explained by an elastic plate model in which the seamount emplaced upon oceanic lithosphere that was not, vert, similar ~10 Myr at the time of loading. Intra-crustal magmatic intrusion may be a feature of hotspot volcanism at young, hot, oceanic lithosphere, whereas, magmatic underplating below a pre-existing Moho may be more likely to occur where a hotspot interacts with oceanic lithosphere that is several tens of millions of years old.

    Description: Tectonic models predict that, following breakup, rift margins undergo only decaying thermal subsidence during their post-rift evolution. However, post-breakup stratigraphy beneath the NE Atlantic shelves shows evidence of regional-scale unconformities, commonly cited as outer margin responses to inner margin episodic uplift, including the formation of coastal mountains. The origin of these events remains enigmatic. We present a seismic reflection study from the Greenland Fracture Zone – East Greenland Ridge (GFZ-EGR) and the NE Greenland shelf. We doc- ument a regional intra-Miocene seismic unconformity (IMU), which marks the termination of syn-rift deposition in the deep-sea basins and onset of: (i) thermo-mechanical coupling across the GFZ, (ii) basin compression, and (iii) contourite deposition, north of the EGR. The onset of coupling across the GFZ is constrained by results of 2-D flexural backstripping. We explain the thermo-mechanical coupling and the deposition of contourites by the forma- tion of a continuous plate boundary along the Mohns and Knipovich ridges, leading to an accelerated widening of the Fram Strait. We demonstrate that the IMU event is linked to onset of uplift and massive shelf-progradation on the NE Greenland margin. Given an estimated middle-to-late Miocene (ca. 15-10 Ma) age of the IMU, we speculate that the event is synchronous with uplift of the East and West Greenland margins. The correlation between margin uplift and plate-motion changes further indicates that the uplift was triggered by plate tectonic forces, induced perhaps by a change in the Iceland plume (a hot pulse) and/or by changes in intra-plate stresses related to global tectonics.

    Notes: Abstract. An examination of total phosphorus (TP) concentrations from 902 lakes in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland (NI), suggest that only Scottish lakes have a high percentage (73%) of oligotrophic waters (TP〈10 μg PI-1). The TP status of upland lakes in NI was greater than Scottish lakes particularly if lake catchments were afforested. Although lowland lakes in NI drain a predominately non-urbanized landscape, 38% of lakes below 100 m had TP concentrations 〉 100 μg PI-1 and only 29% 〈35 μg PI-1. English lakes tended to have higher TP concentrations (70% 〉 101 μg PI-1) which may reflect P inputs from sewage treatment works (STWs) although lakes draining agricultural catchments frequently produced high TP concentrations. Between 1985 and 1995, annual point source TP inputs to Loch Leven, Scotland, declined by 8 tonnes P or 40% of the 1985 TP loadings to the Loch. As point source inputs were proportionally richer in dissolved molybdate reactive phosphorus (MRP) than diffuse inputs, the MRP loading was reduced by 46%. From 1974 to 1995, TP concentrations in Lough Neagh (NI) increased despite reduced TP inputs from STWs. Partitioning of annual TP loadings from two major inflowing rivers to Lough Neagh, showed river MRP loadings from non-point sources had been increasing at annual rates of 1.9 and 2.3 kg P km-2. The remaining non-MRP river loadings had not been influenced by lower TP loads from STWs and showed no tendency to increase with time. Insufficient data is available from other lake systems in the British Isles to judge whether the increase in non-point source MRP loadings observed in the Lough Neagh catchment has been repeated elsewhere.

    Notes: SUMMARY. 1. The pattern of fluctuations in the total biomass and species composition of phytoplankton in the shallow, eutrophic Loch Leven exhibits considerable inter-annual and within-year variability. Nevertheless, studies over the 18-year period reviewed here (1968–85) show that many of the observed changes can be explained in -terms of light regimes and the concentrations and fluxes of nutrients. On occasion, the incidence of fungal parasitism and of protozoan, rotiferan and crustacean grazing is also important.2. Changes in annual mean algal biomass from very high levels in the late 1960s and early 1970s to somewhat lower levels in the late 1970s, followed by occasional high peaks in the present decade, are attributed to shifts in phosphorus loading-particularly from a P-rich industrial source.3. In spite of complex and erratic sequences of algal species, seasonal patterns in the size distribution of the phytoplankton assemblage have been identified. However, these also changed. During the 4 years prior to 1971, Daphnia hyalina was not recorded in the plankton, and small algae have been abundant only in late winter or early spring.4. The potential importance of the weather is highlighted as one of the possible causes of the irregular appearance of algal species. The effect of the characteristically variable, oceanicclimate of Northern Britain on this large (13.3 km2), shallow (z̄= 3.9 m) loch is thought to be of particular importance.5. The influence of the weather on phytoplankton sequences is explored by comparing records of monthly flushing rate values with time-series data on aspects of the aquatic environment and plankton populations. The preliminary assessment suggests that variation in flushing rate (p) has a considerable effect on temperature regimes and the supplies and in-loch dynamics of nutrients; through such changes, p controls major features of phytoplankton succession such as the temporal abundance of diatoms, as well as detailed sequences of events relating to the development and collapse of particular algal species - and. as a consequence, in some cases, of the animals preying on them.6. Concluding remarks emphasize how little would have been understood about the functioning of shallow lakes, had the long-term commitment to Loch Leven research been abandoned. The view is also expressed that the findings are of considerably greater relevance to research on ‘classic’ stratifying lake systems, than the focus on the shallow waterbody might hitherto have suggested.

    Notes: 〈list xml:id="l1" style="custom"〉1Total phosphorus (TP) cycles were examined in seventeen lakes from the Scottish lowlands and Northern Ireland, which varied in annual mean TP from 17 to 192 μg Pl-1.2It is clear from the data that the annual range of TP concentrations increases as the annual maximum TP increases. Although the annual minimum TP increases somewhat with increasing annual maxima, even enriched lakes show a pronounced TP minimum. As a result, the annual maximum values are highly correlated with the ranges and means, but less so with the annual minima.3The data are discussed in relation to a conceptual sine wave model and it is suggested that enrichment modulates the amplitude of the sine wave.4Mechanisms conditioning the maximum and minimum values are reviewed.

    Notes: Diatom populations and silica concentrations were monitored at frequent intervals in the shallow, eutrophic Loch Leven over a 27-day period (October 1972) and the influences of the inflows, outflow and the sediment were assessed. Changes in dissolved and particulate silica are accounted for by incorporating the results into a silica budget.During this period processes affecting silica within the loch were more important than those outside. The incorporation of diatom frustules into the sediments and the release of dissolved silica from the sediments appeared to be of particular importance. Evidence suggests that dissolution of the frustules of some planktonic diatom species was also important.

    Notes: The species composition of planktonic diatom crops in Loch Leven, Kinross, Scotland varied considerably over the years studied (1968–71) with centric forms predominating. Dense populations were often produced and rates of increase and decrease were high.Relations with dissolved silica did not appear always to be simple; instances occurred during which both diatoms and silica were increasing or decreasing. Moreover, certain rates of increase in dissolved and frustule silica exceeded the rates at which silica flows into the loch even when the inflows appeared to be the only available dissolved silica source.
