    Description: Über die Labrador See und Baffin Bay wird zwischen Grönland und Kanada Flachwasser zwischen dem Arktischen Ozean und dem Atlantik ausgetauscht. Dieser Energietransport beeinflusst die klimatischen Bedingungen dieser Region wesentlich, so dass die wenig untersuchte tektonische Öffnung dieser Becken für das Paläoklima von besonderem Interesse ist. Hier werden Ergebnisse eines refraktionsseismischen Profils mit 24 Ozeanbodenseismometern des Fahrtabschnittes MSM09/3 mit der Maria S. Merian vorgestellt, das sich über 470 km von der Baffin Insel im SSW nach Grönland im NNO erstreckt und die vermutete Position einer Spreizungszone kreuzt. Auffällig ist eine Verdickung der Kruste westlich der vermuteten Spreizungszone, die durch eine negative Schwereanomalie bestätigt wird. Nordöstlich zeigt sich eine komplexe Struktur, die mit einer positiven Schwereanomalie zusammenfällt und auf Intrusionen mafischer Körper hinweist. Die anschließende grönländische Seite des Spreizungsbeckens ist weitgehend homogen mit dem typischen Aufbau ozeanischer Kruste, während sich auf kanadischer Seite ein komplexer struktureller Aufbau zeigt. Wir vermuten, dass die Komplexität mit wiederholten mafischen Intrusionen und/oder Scherzonen in Verbindung steht.

    Description: The continental margin of Mozambique formed during the initial dispersal of Gondwana about 180 Ma. Due to the lack of deep seismic and dense potential field data, many details of the timing and geometry of the early breakup in this region remained unknown to date. To close this gap, a research project (MoBaMaSis (“Mozambique Basin Marine Seismic Survey”) with the French research vessel R/V Marion Dufresne II was conducted in 2007. This paper presents the results of P-wave, magnetic and 2D-gravity modelling along two parallel seismic refraction profiles between 37° and 41° E, crossing the Mozambique rifted margin. The crust shows the characteristics of normal to slightly thickened oceanic crust. A lower crustal highvelocity- body with P-wave-velocities of 7.0–7.5 km/s is observed along both profiles. Its origin is discussed in the context of upper mantle convection and thermal properties. The existing magnetic anomaly identifications have been extended to older ages. We postulate that the oldest oceanic crust near the Central Mozambique continental margin has been formed around M41n (166 Ma). Closer to the coast a pronounced negative magnetic anomaly exists that we interpret to coincide with the continent–ocean-transition. This implies that the position of the continent–ocean-transition is located significantly closer to the shoreline than proposed before.

    Description: Baffin Bay is an Arctic basin between Canada and Greenland, connected via Davis Strait with the Labrador Sea in the south. Due to its shallow water depth of only 500 m, Davis Strait acts as a gateway for the Arctic water exchange between Baffin Bay and the Atlantic. The nature of Baffin Bay and Davis Strait crust has long been a subject of debate. Either oceanic or stretched continental crust have been proposed by different authors from sonobuoy readings, seismic reflection and potential field data. We here present the new results of two seismic refraction lines acquired with ocean bottom seismometers. P-wave velocity models for both lines are constrained and complemented by density models, seismic reflection and magnetic anomaly data. Line AWI-20080500/AWI-20100400, in southern Baffin Bay, is oriented across a proposed Eocene spreading centre. This line confirms the existence of oceanic crust in southern Baffin Bay and allows for a regional mapping of the oceanic crust. With a plate kinematic model we depict the evolution of this basin and can distinguish between Palaeocene and Eocene oceanic crust. Line AWI-20080700 in Davis Strait crosses the Ungava Fault Complex, a major transform fault, where extension was followed by a stage of transpression. We here find deformed blocks of continental crust that are separated by transform faults of the Ungava Fault Complex. Between these blocks a region of 50 km is characterized by high P-wave velocities and a thin crust that we interpret as stretched and highly intruded crust. Tectonic modelling depicts a great lateral movement of 310 km of the continental blocks along the Ungava Fault complex. The compressional component is visible in a 70 km wide overlap of crust that had to be compensated by deformation of the blocks. With our new models and the compilation of published Moho depth and seismic stratigraphy we try to estimate the paleo bathymetry and the role of Davis Strait as a polar gateway.

    Description: Baffin Bay is the northwest extension of the Labrador Sea spreading system. The transition zone between these two areas is characterized by the sinistral Ungava transform-fault system across Davis Strait. The crustal type within Baffin Bay is considered to be oceanic based on a few refraction seismic experiments of older vintage. However, the velocity-depth profiles obtained from these experiments also indicate deviations from normal oceanic crust. A refraction profile in northern Baffin Bay indicates that spreading there was amagmatic and that serpentinized mantle is encountered beneath the sedimentary sequence. In addition, no magnetic anomalies related to seafloor spreading could be detected in Baffin Bay so far. This leaves a relative uncertainty about the geodynamic evolution of the Davis Strait and Baffin Bay region. For this reason, a geophysical study was carried out onboard the research vessel Maria S. Merian in 2008, collecting wide-angle reflection/refraction seismic data, supplemented by coincident and additional deep reflection seismic profiles, potential field measurement, swath bathymetry and high-resolution sediment profiling (Parasound). The refraction seismic data set comprises three lines running across the centre part of Davis Strait and southern Baffin Bay extending from Greenland to Baffin Island. The seismic source was an airgun array with a total volume of 7006 cubic inches and the shots were recorded by up to 25 ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) deployed along each line. Initial velocity models will be presented for line AWI-20080600 extending from the Sisimiut Basin off Greenland across the Hellefisk well, farther towards the NW and parallel to the assumed extinct spreading axis (based on gravity data) up to the Baffin Island continental margin some 60 km to the south of ODP site 645. The record sections indicate considerable lateral variations of the crustal structure and character along the line.

    Description: Während des Merian-Fahrtabschnitts MSM09/3 wurden Ende 2008 in einer Kooperation zwischen dem Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung (AWI), der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR), dem Geologischen Dienst von Dänemark und Grönland (GEUS) und der Dalhousie University geophysikalische Untersuchungen in der Baffinbucht und Davisstraße zwischen Grönland und dem kanadischen Baffininsel durchgeführt. Als Teilvorhaben des IPY-2007/08-Kernprojekts Plate Tectonics and Polar Gateways in the Earth System (PLATES & GATES) hat das Projekt DAVIS GATE das Ziel, eine tektonische und sedimentäre Rekonstruktion des Öffnungsprozesses dieser Meeresstraße zu entwickeln. Die Baffinbucht und Davisstraße spielen eine wichtige Rolle für den Flachwasseraustausch zwischen dem arktischen und dem atlantischen Ozean. Die plattentektonische Entwicklung sowie die magmatischen Ereignisse im Laufe dieser Entwicklung sind bisher kaum bekannt und erforderten eine eindringliche geophysikalische Untersuchung, um akkurate paläobathymetrische und paläogeographische Datensätze für eine vollständige geodynamische Rekonstruktion dieses Gateway zu erstellen. Entlang von drei refraktions/weitwinkelseismischen Profilen unter Nutzung von Ozeanbodenseismometern auf insgesamt 62 Stationen sowie dem Einsatz der Mehrkanal-Reflexionsseismik mit einem 3000 m langen Streamer sind Daten von der sedimentären Bedeckung bis in die tiefe Kruste und teilweise vom obersten Mantel gewonnen worden. Weitere seismische Profildaten ergänzen diese Messungen und lassen Einblicke in die Strukturen des Grundgebirges sowie der dominanten Verwerfungszonen, z.B. der Ungava-Störung, zu. Eine parallel angelegte Magnetfeldvermessung ist auf die Auflösung der zeitlichen Entwicklung der ozeanischen Kruste der Baffinbucht ausgerichtet worden. Ausdünnung und Absenkung der kontinentalen Kruste und Übergangskruste in der Davisstraße und die Entwicklung der ozeanischen Kruste der Baffinbucht konnten mit diesen geophysikalischen Daten, zu der auch kontinuierlich aufgezeichnete Schwerefeld- und Sedimentechographiedaten gehören, untersucht werden. Diese Daten liefern die Informationen über die geometrischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften der Kruste und ihrer Sedimentbedeckung, die für ein realistisches tektonisches, geodynamisches und sedimentäres Modell notwendig sind, das den kontinentalen Abbruchs und der Entwicklung des Ozeanbeckens zwischen Grönland und Kanada paläo-topographisch im Detail beschreibt.

    Description: In this work, the gravity anomaly signal beneath Mount Amiata and its surroundings have been analysed to reconstruct the subsurface setting. In particular, the work focuses on the investigation of the geological bodies responsible for the Bouguer gravity minimum observed in this area. Different approaches for understanding the Bouguer gravity anomaly source distribution, including the calculation of the first vertical derivative of the gravity signal, the estimation of the depth source using power spectrum analysis and the pseudo-3-D forward modeling, have been considered. The gravity data employed were acquired from different institutions ENI, OGS, USDMA and Servizio Geologico d'Italia and collected in a unique data set kindly made available by ENI. It comes from about 50 000 stations, randomly distributed, which cover Central Italy, with a spacing of less than 1 km. We dedicated an active effort in: Defining the stratigraphic model (i.e. definition of the primary lithomechanical layers within the sedimentary cover and the upper crust). Calculation of a new data set of density data derived from the velocity data collected by active seismic surveys. Integration of stratigraphy, literature and new data in a comprehensive model. The results of this study depict a body, with a density of 2.35 g cm−3, representing the remnant magmatic chamber of Mount Amiata, which is responsible of the observed gravimetric minimum. The top of the magmatic body is upward-convex, dislocated at a depth comprised between 4.5 (beneath the volcano) and 7.5 km (in the peripheral zones) and draped by 2 km thick, highly fractured hard rocks that could represent the fractured aureole of the magmatic body itself. The 3-D modeling also defines the geometry of the Neogene Radicofani basin, close to the eastern flank of the Mount Amiata and is imaged as a bowl-shaped basin with an average depth of about 1500 m, and a maximum depth of about 2000 m reached towards north.

    Description: Der Wasserspiegel des Toten Meeres sinkt rapide um durchschnittlich einen Meter pro Jahr. Dadurch hat der Salzsee bereits ein Drittel seiner Oberfläche verloren. Dies hat u. a. dramatische Auswirkungen auf die einzigartige Ökologie. Entlang der ausgedörrten Ufer bilden sich täglich neue so genannte Erdfälle oder Sinkholes, die bis zu 20 Meter tief sind. Gut 1000 dieser plötzlich einfallenden Sinkholes haben sich inzwischen an der Küstenlinie des Toten Meeres gebildet. Während der Messkampagne zum Dead Sea Integrated Research Project (DESIRE) 2007 wurde das Küstengebiet südlich von Ein Gedi zusätzlich mit einem Laser Mirror Scanner der Firma RIEGL beflogen, um entsprechende Sinkholes zu detektieren. Das Gebiet besitzt eine Ausdehnung von etwa 20 mal 4 km. Die Datenakquirierung erfolgte durch Befliegung in Nord-Süd-Richtung in 20 Streifen und einer Überdeckung von 50%. Für die Auswertung stand die Software TopPIT der Firma Trimble Geospatial zur Verfügung. Ziel der Befliegung ist neben der Berechnung eines Digitales Geländemodells (DGM) die Schaffung einer Bestandsaufnahme bestehender Sinkholes, durch die Veränderungen im Vergleich mit zukünftigen Aufnahmen aufgedeckt werden können. Zudem soll die Leistungsfähigkeit der eingesetzten Messmethode als geeignetes Verfahren nachgewiesen werden.

    Description: The Dead Sea Transform (DST) is a system of left-lateral strike-slip faults that accommodates the relative motion between the African and Arabian plates. Furthermore the water level of the Dead Sea is sinking rapidly at an average of one meter per year. Because of this the salt lake has already lost one third of its surface and along the parched shores are formed daily new sinkholes that are up to 20 meters deep. About 1000 of these sudden incident sinkholes have formed in the meanwhile the shoreline of the Dead Sea. They represent danger both to life and property, disrupt life in the area, and aversely affect building and development. During the measurement campaign for the Dead Sea Integrated Research Project (DESIRE) 2007 the coastal area was flown to the south of En Gedi also with a laser mirror scanner constructed by RIEGL to detect relevant sinkholes. The airborne survey area covers a surface of approximately 20 by 4 km. The data acquisition was done by flights in North-South direction in 20 strips with an overlap of 50 percent. For the data analysis focused on the software TopPIT of Trimble Geospatial was used. The aim of the airborne survey was the calculation of a digital terrain model (DTM) but also the creation of an inventory of existing sinkholes, that can be used to detect temporal changes by comparison with future recordings. Moreover, the efficiency of the method used should be demonstrated as an appropriate procedure compared with traditional field data collection.
