Orthopyroxenes of a high temperature protomylonite of the Ivrea Zone, Northern Italy show twin like polysynthetic lamellae parallel to {210} of the hypersthene host. The transformation is caused by plastic deformation under high metamorphic conditions which has resulted in dynamic recrystallization of pyroxene and plagioclase. The lamellae consist of clinohypersthene. The twin plane and the lamellar clino-orthoinversion of hypersthene due to natural deformation have not been described hitherto.
Earlier investigations at South Creek in northeastern Queensland established the importance of overland flow as a hydrologic pathway in this tropical rainforest environment. Since this pathway is ‘fast’, transmitting presumably ‘new’ water, its importance should be reflected in the stormflow chemistry of South Creek: the greater the volumentric contribution to the stormflow hydrograph, the more similarity between the chemical composition of streamwater and of overland flow is to be expected. Water samples were taken during two storm events in an ephemeral gully (gully A), an intermittent gully (gully B) and at the South Creek catchment outlet; additional spot checks were made in several poorly defined rills. The chemical composition of ‘old’ water was determined from 45 baseflow samples collected throughout February. The two events differed considerably in their magnitudes, intensities and antecedent moisture conditions. In both events, the stormflow chemistry in South Creek was characterized by a sharp decrease in Ca, Mg, Na, Si, Cl, EC, ANC, alkalinity and total inorganic carbon. pH remained nearly constant with discharge, whereas K increased sharply, as did sulfate in an ill-defined manner. In event 1, this South Creek stormflow pattern was closely matched by the pattern in gully A, implying a dominant contribution of ‘new’ water. This match was confirmed by the spot samples from rills. Gully B behaved like South Creek itself, but with a dampened ‘new’ water signal, indicating less overland flow generation in its subcatchment. In event 2, which occurred five days later, the initial ‘new’ water signal in gully A was rapidly overwhelmed by a different signal which is attributed to rapid drainage from a perched water table. This study shows that stormflow in this rainforest catchment consists predominantly of ‘new’ water which reaches the stream channel via ‘fast’ pathways. Where the ephemeral gullies delivering overland flow are incised deeply enough to intersect a perched water table, a delayed, ‘old’ water-like signal may be transmitted.
Effects of water-dependent creep rate on the volatile exchange between mantle and surface reservoirs

Long-term measurements (1979-1994) of meteorological parameters and of algal and crustacean biomass were used in conjunction with a comprehensive hydrodynamic model to evaluate the impact of weather conditions on plankton dynamics in a large, deep, temperate lake (Upper Lake Constance), and to identify potential causal mechanisms. The natural variability of weather conditions, including the exceptionally mild winters during the late eighties, allowed us the investigation of the covariation of meteorological parameters such as irradiance, air temperature, and wind with vernal algal and crustacean population growth. Crustacean zooplankton responded strongly to differences in surface water temperature, but not to mixing depth or algal biomass. Clear relationships between changes of algal biomass and meteorological factors were only found during the rare occasions when acted together to favour or hamper algal development. Otherwise, the impact of meterological conditions on the physical conditions which were most likely conducive to phytoplankton development, could not be followed by this simple approach. This problem was overcome with a one-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulent exchange model driven by the meteorological boundary conditions at the water surface. It was used to simulate the development of the vernal density stratification and to investigate the relationships between meteorological conditions and exchange rates from the euphotic to the aphotic zone. The beginning of the spring algal bloom was shown to depend on the stabilization of the upper part of the water column. As soon as mixing below 20 m was inhibited, confining the algae to the euphotic zone for prolonged periods of time, substantial increases in algal standing stock occurred consistently. In contrast, during periods when high vertical mixing rates were computed with the model no substantial increases of algal biomass were found. This tight coupling between the estimates of vertical mixing intensity and observed algal development, combined with knowledge about the impact of individual meteorological factors on mixing, enabled predictions about the response of algae to different weather conditions during spring.
