Sedimentary facies and unconformity analysis of some Paleocene-Eocene sections, Marlborough and Campbell Island, New Zealand
No full textThroughout the Late Cretaceous to Eocene, sedimentation in gradually subsiding basins on the passive eastern margin of the micro-continent of Zealandia recorded climatic and paleoceanographic changes in a greenhouse world. One such fundamental change in Southern Ocean circulation is hypothesised to be recorded in a regionally extensive unconformity surface and short-lived lithofacies changes contained within Late Paleocene to Early Eocene sedimentary successions at key sections throughout New Zealand, and investigated here on Campbell Island and in southeastern Marlborough.
On Campbell Island, this oceanographic event is represented by an unconformity between the Late Cretaceous to Late Paleocene Garden Cove Formation and the Early Eocene to Oligocene Tucker Cove Limestone. This unconformity signifies a major lithofacies change from Garden Cove Formation which consists of siliceous mudstone containing fine sand to coarse silt sized siliciclastic grains, pelletal glaucony grains and rare quartz pebbles, to a nannofossil and foraminiferal limestone containing little to no siliciclastic grains comprising the Tucker Cove Limestone. Geochemically this lithofacies change is characterised by a dramatic decrease in terrigenous supply and a shift from siliceous to calcareous productivity, along with a significant concentration of Zr and rare earth elements. Lithofacies at this site are inferred to record possible episodes of ice rafting and eventual unconformity formation by invigorated intermediate depth ocean currents which resulted in winnowing of seafloor sediments and concentration of heavy minerals.
At the distal Mead Stream site in southeastern Marlborough, deposition of bio-siliceous sediments of the Mead Hill Formation and Amuri Limestone was locally disrupted by deposition of the Waipawa Formation, the lateral equivalent of an important hydrocarbon source rock identified in several of New Zealand‟s sedimentary basins. In outcrop, the Waipawa Formation at Mead Stream is characterised by a very distinctive rusty‟ brown fissile appearance, while in thin section, though radiolarians and sponge spicules are common, the overall fine grained nature of the unit makes identification of other components difficult. Geochemical proxies show a significant increase in terrigenous supply in the Waipawa Formation, along with an increase in siliceous productivity concomitant with a decrease in oxygenation at the site. Lithofacies changes through the Late Paleocene at Mead Stream suggest the site lay under a zone of upwelling which resulted in an increase in siliceous productivity during the Late Paleocene.
At the more proximal sites of Muzzle Stream and Kaikoura wharf in southeastern Marlborough, Mead Hill Formation and Amuri Limestone are separated by an unconformity, overlain by Teredo Limestone. The Teredo Limestone is considered to be a lateral equivalent of the Waipawa Formation, but both the base and top of the Teredo Limestone are timetransgressive. This means that at Muzzle Stream the unit is contemporaneous with the Waipawa Formation (Late Paleocene), while at Kaikoura wharf the unit is entirely Early Eocene in age. At these sites, the Teredo Limestone Member of the Amuri Limestone is a calcareous greensand sometimes containing phosphatised limestone clasts and sharks teeth. In thin sections, the unit consists of well sorted, fine to very fine sand sized siliciclastic grains and fine sand sized pelletal and vermicular glaucony set in a calcareous matrix that shows evidence of secondary silicification. Unconformity formation and the subsequent deposition of the overlying Teredo Limestone record a period of invigorated intermediate depth ocean currents that resulted in the transport of siliciclastic grains and glaucony to these bathyal sites. This interpretation is supported by a palinspastic map of the Teredo Limestone that suggests the unit was deposited under different conditions than those responsible for the deposition of the bounding Mead Hill Formation and Amuri Limestone. This map also suggests the Teredo Limestone was deposited as a skin drift‟, here named the Clarence Drift, possibly under the influence of contour currents.
Based on similarities between unconformities and lithofacies changes in Late Paleocene to Early Eocene sedimentary sections and an earlier, well documented event at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary in southeastern Marlborough, evidence for a period of enhanced siliceous productivity, invigorated ocean currents and possible episodes of ice rafting is suggested to be consistent with a brief period of Antarctic ice sheet growth during a phase of global cooling in the Late Paleocene.
The possible identification of Antarctic ice sheets, ephemeral though they may have been, not only challenges long held beliefs that the Antarctic continent remained ice free during the early Paleogene greenhouse world but also questions the suggested mechanisms responsible for Antarctic ice sheet growth. The lack of ocean gateways in the Southern Ocean during this time effectively rules out thermal isolation of the Antarctic continent as a driver. Given that this period of ice sheet growth is contemporaneous with a documented period of enhanced global ocean productivity and terrestrial carbon accumulation and related draw down in atmospheric CO2, it is suggested this may represent the driver responsible for brief Antarctic glaciation during this period, though the postulated link requires further investigation
Campbell Standards: Modernizing Campbell\u27s Methodologic Expectations for Campbell Collaboration Intervention Reviews (MECCIR)
No full text\ua9 2024 The Author(s). Campbell Systematic Reviews published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of The Campbell Collaboration. Introduction: The authors formed a small working group to modernize the Methodological Expectations for Campbell Collaboration Intervention Reviews (MECCIR). We reviewed comments and feedback from editors, peer reviewers of Campbell submissions, and authors; for example, that the Campbell MECCIR was long and some of the items in the reporting and conduct checklists were difficult to cross-reference. We also wanted to make the checklist more relevant for reviews of associations or risk factors and other quantitative non-intervention review types, which we welcome in Campbell. Thus, our aim was to develop a shorter, more holistic guidance and checklist of Campbell Standards, encompassing both conduct and reporting of these standards within the same checklist. Methods: Our updated Campbell Standards will be a living document. To develop this first iteration, we invited Campbell members to join a virtual working group; we sought experience in conducting Campbell systematic reviews and in conducting methods editor reviews for Campbell. We aligned the items from the MECCIR for conduct and reporting, then compared the principles of conduct that apply across review types to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)-literature search extension (S) and PRISMA-2020 reporting standards. We discussed each section with the aim of developing a parsimonious checklist with explanatory guidance while avoiding losing important concepts that are relevant to all types of reviews. We held nine meetings to discuss each section in detail between September 2022 and March 2023. We circulated this initial checklist and guidance to all Campbell editors, methods editors, information specialists and co-chairs to seek their feedback. All feedback was discussed by the working group and incorporated to the Standards or, if not incorporated, a formal response was returned about the rationale for why the feedback was not incorporated. Campbell Policy: The guidance includes seven main sections with 35 items multifaceted but distinct concepts that authors must adhere to when conducting Campbell reviews. Authors and reviewers must be mindful that multiple factors need to be assessed for each item. According to the Campbell Standards, the reporting of Campbell reviews must adhere to appropriate PRISMA reporting guidelines(s) such as PRISMA-2020. How to Use: The editorial board recommends authors use the checklist during their work in formulating their protocol, carrying out their review, and reporting it. Authors will be asked to submit a completed checklist with their submission. We plan to develop an online tool to facilitate use of the form by author teams and those reviewing submissions. Providing Feedback: We invite the scientific community to provide their comments using this anonymous google form. Plan for Updating: We will update the Campbell Standards periodically in light of new evidence
Letter from Duncan Campbell to his Mother, 13 May 1839
No full textThe last letter of the collection is from Duncan Campbell to his Mother and is dated at Kingston, May 13,1839. Campbell notes that things have been quiet, writing that “I have not a word of news to give you Regimental or otherwise since I last wrote. Every
thing goes on here in the old quiet & stupid way. We heard some talk of the Regt. Being moved up to Toronto this summer, but that has turned out to be untrue. So we may make our minds up to remain here for some time longer, wh. I am not sorry for, as this is in my opinion the best summer quarter in Upper Canada on account of the bathing, boating and shooting…” (Transcription is provided

Key themes in the teaching of remedies
No full textIn this chapter I will argue that the general if by no means universal practice in the US of spendingsubstantial time on remedies at the start of courses on the general principles of the law of contract should be adopted much more widely in the Commonwealth, where it is unusual if not unknown, and my impression is that remedies typically feature as the residuum of the contract course, if they are taught in any substantial way at all. My argument will, however, rest on a different ground than that on which the US practice typically rests, which is a belief that first obtaining a knowledge of what precisely the claimant can hope to gain from recourse to law – which is not justice, or vindication, or the like, but a particular remedy – aidsthe student in understanding the way that sophisticated legal advice can and should be structured so as to achieve the best possible actually available outcome. (For an account of this attitude, see Bix’s chapter in this book.) I am of the opinion that this belief is overall true and very important, but even so of less importance than the belief that lies behind my own commitment to teaching remedies first, which is the following. © 2019 selection and editorial matter, Warren Swain and David Campbell
Conservation district use application to permit geothermal development activities on state lands, Puna district, island of Hawaii dated August 20, 1985
No full text"On behalf of the Trustees of the Estate of James Campbell, I am forwarding for your action the original and eighteen (18) copies of a Conservation District Use Application, enclosure (1), to permit geothermal development activities on State lands proposed for exchange with Campbell Estate's Kahauale'a lands within a to be designated geothermal resource sub-zone. The State lands under consideration include: TMK 1-2-10, Parcels 1, 2, & 3, an area of 27,673 acres more or less.
The Campbell Estate is in the process of completing its Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed project and expects to file the Statement on or about September 20, 1985.
In this revised application for a land-use permit, the applicantis requesting authority to discover and develop geothermal resources to a level that will allow, as an upper limit for the first increment of development, a specific amount of electricity to be generated as the market or demand for that electricity is established.
Since the proposed action is now a "permitted use" in geothermal resource sub-zones, the applicant is preparing and will submit, upon receipt of the land-use permit, applications for operational permits as required and as development activities proceed in accordance with DLNR Rules, sub-title 7, Water & Land Development, on the leasing and drilling of geothermal resources, Chapter 183. As a guide to the major operations permit requirements under this chapter, as understood by the applicant, enclosure (2) identifies and summarizes the permit applications and information requirements to be submitted to the Board and DLNR prior to initiating operations within the designated GRS and during project operations.
Letter to Mr. Monnig from Leon Campbell, July 31, 1933
No full textLetter from Leon Campbell to Mr. Monnig writing about Harvard testing for a meteoric sample.HARVARD COLLEGE OBSERVATORY CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS July 31, 1933. Mr. Oscar E. Monnig 312 W. Leuda Fort Worth, Texas. Dear Mr. Monnig: I have referred to Dr. Fisher the matter concerning the meteoric iron found near Deport, Texas. He has the following to report. The Harvard Mineralogical Museum contains specimen #599 found at Deport, Texas, before 1932, class 0g, iron, which weighs 2724 grams. The total amount in this collection from this same spot is 3890 grams. I suggest that if you are pretty well convinced that you have a genuine meteoric iron, you forward it to the Mineralogical Dept. at Harvard for test purposes. I am sure that Professor Palache will be only too glad to do this for you. Mr. Millman is away for the present and I have not seen the meteor plate which you mention but I hope to see it before very long. I am always glad to hear from you and to receive observations from both you and the other members of your locality. With all best wishes, I am Very sincerely yours, Leon Campbel
