大连地区更新世的哺乳动物

大连地区碳酸盐岩分布广泛 ,裂隙溶洞发育 ,洞穴堆积物中蕴含了丰富的更新世哺乳动物化石和古文化遗物 ,在境内陆地和附近海域陆续发现了 30余处化石点。在众多的化石点中尤以古龙山遗址和大连动物群最引人注目 ,前者在同一地点内采集到 377种上万件的脊椎动物骨骼化石 ,并伴有石器、骨器、灰烬等远古人类活动的遗物 ;后者包括了 2 8种早更新世的小型哺乳动物 ,这是大连乃至东北地区的首次报导。这些事实说明了东北地区不只是仅有晚更新世的动物群 ,至少还有早更新世的大连动物群 ,即使在晚更新世 ,也不只是单一的披毛犀 -猛犸象动物群 ,还存在着具有从华北向东北过渡性质的古龙山动物群。今后工作中应注意寻找古人类及中更新世的哺乳动物化石 ,加强对全新世动物遗骨的研究。     

Sinocytheridea在豫东的发现及其地质意义

在豫东晚更新世地层中发现了广盐性海相介形类Sinocytheridea(中华美花介),提示我国东部第四纪的海侵不仅影响到江苏省微山湖西,而且影响到更靠西的豫东地区。本文除对该属化石在豫东的分布及其共生组合作一报道外,还对其地质意义进行了探讨。     

河南省第四纪气候演变的初步探讨

本文以河南省平原区第四纪地层宏观特征和古地磁划分曲地层时代为基础以44个钻孔中的707个孢粉样品分析资料为依据,把我省第三纪末期以来的气候演变分为9个气候期,其中有5个暖期,4个冷期。暖期主要发生在晚第三纪末期、早更新世中期、中更新世早期、晚更新世早期和全新世。冷期发生在早更新世的早期和晚期、中更新世的晚期和晚更新世的晚期。在大的气候期中,同样也有小的气候波动。暖期的植被多以针阔叶混交林—草原型为主;冷期以疏林或针叶林—草原型为主。这些气候期的划分,与重矿物、氧化物和地层宏观特征等资料相吻合。根据孢粉资料,进入第四纪以来,冷期时段愈来愈短,冷的程度愈来愈弱,但干燥程度逐渐增强,尤其是晚更新世晚期是第四纪最干燥时期。前三次冷期,在西都山区发生了冰川,形成了冰川地形;平原区形成了冰川,冰水堆积物。     

广西灵山断裂北段晚更新世以来地质地貌特征

灵山断裂北段位于广西钦州市灵山县，其活动性较强，但关于断裂沿线晚更新世以来的地质地貌特征目前还没有系统的研究报道。为了查明灵山断裂北段晚更新世以来的地质地貌特征，采用地质地貌详细调查、槽 探、微 地 貌 测 量、ＯＳＬ 测 年 等 方法，获得约１７ｋａ以及全新世以来的位移速率。结果表明:灵山断裂北段自晚更新世以来运动性质为右旋走滑兼正断，断裂沿线地质地貌主要表现为断错冲沟水系、冲洪积扇体变形、断错河流阶地、陡坎等；灵山断裂北段晚更新世以来活动明显，约１７ｋａ以来水平位移速率为１．２７～１．５４ｍｍ／ａ，垂直位移速率为０．５３～０．６５ｍｍ／ａ；全新世仍 有 活 动，约２３６０ａ以来水平位移速率为１．２１～１．６３ｍｍ／ａ，垂直位移速率为０．５３ｍｍ／ａ。      

新疆阿合奇县石炭系别根他乌组孢粉化石的发现及地质意义

新疆阿合奇县色帕巴衣地区石炭系别根他乌组底部首次发现了大量孢粉化石,经鉴定计有38属65种,根据化石属种类型及占比,将孢粉组合命名为Protohaploxypinus Potonieisporites Hamiapollenites组合。该组合以双囊具肋花粉的大量出现,Protohaploxypinus,Potonieisporites,Hamiapollenites的高占比,Striatolebachiites和Noeggerathiopsidozonotrilete的低占比以及Cordaitina的出现为特征,[JP2]与前人建立的新疆上石炭统车排子组孢粉组合极为相似,而与前人建立的巴塔玛依内山组中的孢粉组合有显著区别,故当前孢粉组合代表的地质时代应为晚石炭世早中期的罗苏期至滑石板期,相当于国际上Bashkirian Moscovian(巴什基尔-莫斯科)期早期。其植物化石兼具欧美区与安加拉区特征,整体上处于亚安加拉区。孢粉证据支持塔里木板块与准噶尔板块的部分拼接最晚发生在晚石炭世早期的假说。气候总体上处于半干旱气候,但干旱程度并不严重,局部层位还形成薄煤层或煤线。      

青藏高原米林地区晚更新世晚期植被演替与环境变迁

位于青藏高原南部的米林地区在晚更新世晚期沉积了一套湖相沉积体系,为了探讨当时米林地区的古植被、古环境信
息,在米林机场实测了一条晚更新世晚期剖面。根据样品14C测年结果初步认定该剖面湖积物的底部年龄约40kaBP,顶部年龄
约12kaBP。根据孢粉分析研究把该剖面自下而上划分为4个孢粉组合带以及对应的4个植被发展演替阶段:①第一阶段(对应
孢粉组合带Ⅰ;36~28kaBP)为森林草甸植被类型;②第二阶段(对应孢粉组合带Ⅱ;28~23kaBP)为高山草原植被类型;③第三
阶段(对应孢粉组合带Ⅲ;23~18kaBP)为蒿草草原植被类型;④第四阶段(对应孢粉组合带Ⅳ;16~13kaBP)为荒漠草原植被类
型。在此基础上,初步推论青藏高原南部晚更新世晚期气候环境演化为:从40kaBP至全新世高原南部气候类型总体寒冷偏干旱
出现小型波动,与全球的冰期和间冰期吻合较好。      

从河南东部平原第四纪沉积物特征探讨黄河的形成与演变

黄河冲积形成的一套沉积物以黄色色序为主,具黄土特征,颗粒较粗,粉土质含量高,松散,多含分散钙。岩性为亚砂土、亚粘土,富含砂层,为典型的冲积型。它与更新世早期冰碛、冰水及河湖相堆积物具显著差别。通过大量孢粉、微体古生物、重矿物、古地磁等测试资料综合分析,结论与宏观标志基本吻合,即黄河形成于中更新世早期,距今约73万年。通过不同时期岩相-古地理分析,认为黄河在华北平原形成以来,在中更新世、晚更新世、全新世不同时期,它的发育过程、影响范围、沉积速率均不相同。特别是有历史记载以来。黄河改道与泛滥十分频繁。本文对不同时段、不同年代的冲积扇范围进行了描绘。     

南阳盆地更新世以来的孢粉分析及其古气候记录

通过对南阳盆地的2个控制性钻孔样品进行精确的光释光定年、ESR定年和孢粉分析,结合现代表土植被概貌,重建了该区更新世以来的植被和环境演化历史。结果表明,早更新世,该区以草原和森林植被的草本植物为主,略大于木本植物,后期随着森林植被的发育,沉积环境相对稳定;中更新世主要表现为木本植物快速减少,蕨类也减少,其次是水生和陆生草本植物的相应增加;晚更新世,主要表现为次生的松属植被明显增加,水生植物明显减少;全新世,钻孔最上部藻类植物的大量增加,反映了水体面积较大,表明该时期该区水量丰沛。区域对比显示,该区从更新世到全新世气候温暖湿润,变化不大,未出现过冰期气候,各时段的气温差异不大,但干湿变化比较明显。气候环境演化特征与典型的东亚季风影响区有着明显差异,这与南阳盆地局部的环境有密切关系。      

广西百色盆地第三系孢粉组合及时代

广西百色盆地第三系孢粉化石极为丰富。根据大量孢粉分析鉴定资料，共建立７个孢粉组合及６个亚组合，其时代分别代表早第三纪中－晚始新世、晚始新世、渐新世以及晚第三纪上新世。     

甘肃迭部—白龙江南支断裂中东段晚第四纪构造活动特征

通过卫星影像解译、野外实地调查与地质填图,对甘肃东南部迭部—白龙江南支断裂中东段晚第四纪构造活动特征进行了研究。结果表明:迭部—白龙江南支断裂中段活动性明显强于东段;中段线性特征明显,可见清晰的断崖,不同期次的阶地之上都有断层陡坎发育,晚第四纪以来有过明显活动,最新活动的离逝时间为1 300年左右,属于全新世活动断裂;东段活动性明显减弱,没有发现断错全新世地层的证据,在地貌上多表现为线性沟谷,属于晚更新世断裂。根据对断错阶地的测量和年代测试,迭部—白龙江南支断裂中段左旋滑动速率为每年(1.3±0.1)mm,垂直滑动速率为每年(0.39±0.04)mm。     

Thermohaline structure inhomogeneity associated with polynia at the northern margin of Emery Ice-shelf

Based on the hydrographic data in austral summer during the 22nd Antarctic Expedition of China(2005/2006),some features can be found about the northern margin of Emery ice shelf as follows.The heat content in the surface layer(0-50 m) at the eastern end and the western end of the ice-shelf margin is much higher than that at the middle.The upper mixing-layer depth and the seasonal thermocline depth at the middle of the ice-shelf northern margin are much shallower than those at the both ends.However there is much less difference between the middle and the ends in the bottom layer.The remote sensing photos show that the inhomogeneity in the surface-layer water is closely related to the spatial distribution of the floes and polynia in the area.     

Phylogenetic analysis of cultivable bacteria isolated from Arctic sea-ice

Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA of 8 strains of cultivable bacteria isolated from Arctic sea-ice was studied.The results showed that strain BJ1 belonged to genus Planococcus,which was a genus of low mole percent G C gram-positive bacteria;strain BJ6 belonged to genus Burkholderia of β-proteobacteria and the rest 6 strain all belonged to γ-proteobacteria,of which strain BJ8 was a species of Pseudoalteromonas,strain BJ2-BJ5 and BJ7 were members of genus Psychrobacter.Phylogenetic analysis also indicated that bacteria of genus Psychrobacter of the isolates formed a relatively independent phylogenetic cluster in comparison with other bacteria belonged to genus Psychrobacter.

Relationship of Arctic sea ice and Northern Hemispheric 500 hPa Polar vortices

Using the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis monthly 500 hPa height data on a 2.5 latitude-longitude grid and 1°×1° sea ice data,the polar vortex area,intensity index and arctic sea ice area index are calculated respectively,and the meridional distribution,period variation and the abrupts in the long range trend are analyzed to study their relationship.The results show that the meridional distribution of sea ice and polar vortex h-ave distinctive difference,the relative positions of them are different in the eastern and western hemispheres,and exept they have periods of 4 months,quasi half year,quasi year,4-5 years and 10 years commonly,and each of them has its own respective variation as well.The sea ice area is decreasing apparently since 1980's,so is the polar vortex area,but their abrupt changge time are different totally.The area of sea ice and polar vortex has prominent positive correlation,but the relationship of sea ice intensity,polar vortex intensity,polar vortex area is complicated.
