南冲绳海槽及其邻域的磁性基底与地壳结构

研究区域的基底断裂构造十分发育。EW、NEE和NE向基底大断裂宏观上构成和控制区域地质构造的基本格架;NS、NNW和NW向断裂多为张扭性平移断层,它们对基本格架起强烈的分割破坏和错断作用,形成和控制次一级区域差异性的构造运动和岩浆活动特征。东海陆架边缘隆起带磁性基底埋深一般为3～4km.基底由前中新世变质岩系及不同时期形成的火成岩类组成。地壳厚度为24-28km,为大陆地壳。南冲绳海槽盆地磁性基底埋深一般为5～7km,可划分出4个次一级盆地。基底极可能由前中新世以来海槽张裂运动所形成的玄武岩层或部分变质岩系组成,靠近陆坡坡脚处可能包括前第三纪的老地层。地壳厚度为15～20km,地壳为亚大洋型。     

丽水—椒江凹陷下第三系断裂系统动力机制研究

丽水—椒江凹陷是一个中新生代断陷盆地,断裂构造组成了盆地内的主要构造样式。通过对区域断层剖面组合和平面展布特征的研究,识别出8种类型的断层剖面组合形式,在平面上划分了12个断裂系统区。总体来说本区构造具有东西分带、南北分块的特征,即断裂系统沿北东—南西方向成条带状分布,凹陷南部以地堑式组合为主,北部以地垒式为主。区域断裂系统的演变显示凹陷南北基底基岩存在差异,而且基底发育北西—南东向的断层,从而导致凹陷南部构造活动较北部强。     

重力水平梯度矢量法在琼东南盆地基底断裂划分上的应用

基底断裂与盆地是一对相互影响的伴生构造,断裂活动控制盆地内沉积填充和构造样式以及后期资源的分布。本文利用琼东南盆地2′×2′的自由空间重力异常,在进行地形校正、布格异常校正得到布格重力异常的基础上求得重力水平梯度矢量。尝试利用重力水平梯度矢量对基底断裂进行划分并取得良好效果:在盆地基底划分出48条断裂,并将其分为3个等级,其中一级断裂5条,二级断裂8条,三级断裂35条;将确定的断裂与其他地质、地球物理方法(地震剖面)确定的断裂进行比较,发现在主要格架上具有一致性;重力水平梯度矢量法与其他解释方法比较具有成本低廉、方法简单、结果直观的优点。     

中国邻近海域含油气盆地地质构造特征

本文从盆地形成时代、边界条件、盆地演化和热力学历史,将我国大陆附近海域中的十七个主要沉积盆地,划分为四种类型;克拉通边缘断陷盆地;大陆边缘断陷盆地;弧后盆地和小型洋壳盆地.通过对上述各类盆地的分析,认为这些含油气盆地具有六个地质特点:1.盆地绕陆分布,多数处于大陆架上.2.从地壳厚度、基底性质、盆地发展和构造单元上分析,海陆区域构造性质十分近似.3.盆地面积大小不一,海、陆相沉积均有,大部分盆地以新生代沉积为主.4.盆地处于现代构造活动带上,这对盆地发育、热力场条件形成、生油与构造配合和大量圈闭的产生,十分有利.5.具有不同时代的盆地纵向上迭置,和盆地不同发育阶段即几个断陷—拗陷上下迭置的复式盆地特点,使油气来源具多源性.6.由于沉积体积大,多种沉积相带交替出现,生油条件好,储层发育,圈闭多并成带分布,油气藏类型多等,认为中国邻近海域含油气盆地具有优越的石油地质条件,对寻找大、中型油气田十分有利.

琼东南盆地新生代构造研究现状及展望

琼东南盆地属于南海北部陆缘拉张盆地,但是由于其不同的发育历史及红河断裂的影响,具有与东部陆缘盆地不同的构造特征。琼东南盆地和珠江口盆地在地壳结构、基底特征等方面存在差异,但是这种差异的原因还不清楚。新生代沉降速率发生多期变化,并存在裂后异常沉降、沉降延迟等现象,其形成机制尚需要进一步研究;平面上,构造具有迁移性,但是对不同地质时期的构造迁移方向仍存在不同的看法。盆地沉降中心和沉积中心经历了由裂陷期和裂后早期的较好重合到裂后晚期的逐步分离,直至完全分离的过程。盆地形成与地幔流的关系,以及红河断裂对盆地裂后沉降迁移的影响,也都是需要进一步确定的工作。鉴于以上各方面存在的问题,对琼东南盆地与南沙的共轭关系、盆地异常沉降、红河断裂及内部构造转换带对构造迁移的影响、以及琼东南盆地与珠江口盆地的比较等方面的研究是下一步工作的重点。

为研究北极地区挪威海内Aegir脊及邻区断裂构造特征，为北极地区油气勘探提供方向，在斯克里普斯海洋研究所发布的研究区重力数据（网格数据）基础上填充最新船测数据，对已有重磁资料进行异常分离、滑动平均和重磁场边界识别。目前，研究区的特征断裂和构造单元划分尚不清楚。根据异常极值带、异常带走向、异常梯度带变化程度等，对研究区进行了断裂识别和构造单元划分。研究表明：重磁异常特征呈NNE-NW-NE向展布，重力异常呈现高低分带，反映出该区基底隆坳相间的格架。根据重磁异常与断裂对应关系，识别出4个构造走向和7条主要断裂，划分出Mohns脊、扬马延微陆块、东扬马延断裂带、西扬马延断裂带、Aegir脊、东扬马延深海盆地和挪威深海盆地等7个构造单元。     

中国南部海域主要断裂类型、分布及地质特征

中国南部海区及邻域1∶1 000 000地质地球物理系列图已编制完成并即将出版,区域构造图是其中的主要图件之一,据此成果,讨论了中国南部海域主要断裂类型、分布及地质特征。主要断裂类型有俯冲带、碰撞缝合带、转换断层、扩张脊型断裂、大型走滑断裂及深大断裂等。根据断裂规模及控制的地质构造单元性质划分出了一级断裂和二级断裂。一级断裂主要是指俯冲带、碰撞缝合带或者控制构造域、地块之间界线的深大断裂;二级断裂主要是控制隆褶带、海盆区以及大型沉积盆地的深大断裂。这些断裂大多具有形成时期早、规模大、断层延伸远、断距大甚至多次活动的特征。     

墨西哥及墨西哥湾盆地构造单元及其演化

墨西哥及墨西哥湾盆地中生代以来可划分为两个一级构造单元,分别是墨西哥造山带和墨西哥湾盆地,进一步可划分二级构造单元6个,其中在墨西哥造山带划分了3个二级构造单元,分别是下加里福尼亚造山带、西马德雷—南马德雷岛弧带和东马德雷逆冲挤压带。在墨西哥湾盆地也划分了3个二级构造单元,分别是墨西哥湾盆地区、佛罗里达地块和尤卡坦地块。墨西哥造山带的形成是大洋板块和大陆板块相互作用的结果,但在不同构造单元上的表现不同。墨西哥湾盆地是一个中生代—新生代的裂谷盆地,包括内陆带、沿海带和洋壳带。根据墨西哥湾盆地构造地层幕将墨西哥湾盆地构造演化分为5个演化阶段,分别为晚三叠世到早侏罗世时期裂谷阶段,中侏罗世裂谷和地壳衰减阶段,晚侏罗世洋壳生成阶段,早白垩世下降阶段和晚白垩世至新生代陆源物质沉积和盐构造变形阶段。     

南黄海盆地地质演化及构造样式地震解释

南黄海盆地奠基于前南华纪变质基底之上,盆地演化历经南华纪—早、中三叠世海相地层发育期、晚白垩世—古近纪箕状断陷发育期和新近纪—第四纪坳陷发育期,为一典型地台—断陷-坳陷多层结构的复合盆地。受不同时期地质营力及区域应力场变化的影响,南黄海盆地形成多种构造样式,可分为伸展构造、挤压构造、反转构造和底辟构造4类,前3类构造样式是地壳水平运动的结果,后一类是地壳垂直运动的结果。     

Microbial Biomass and Organic Nutrients in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.     

Assessing the Validity of Seismo-Acoustic Predictor Equations for Obtaining Seabed and Sub-Surface Sediment Physical Properties

The interdependence between the seismo-acoustic properties of a marine sediment and its geotechnical/physical parameters has been known for many years, and it has been postulated that this should allow the extraction of geotechnical information from seismic data. Though in the literature many correlations have been published for the surficial layer, there is a lack of information for greater sediment depths. In this article, a desktop study on a synthetic seafloor model illustrates how the application of published near-surface prediction equations to subsurface sediments (up to several tens of meters burial depth) can lead to spurious predictions. To test this further, acoustic and geotechnical properties were measured on a number of sediment core samples, some of which were subjected to loading in acoustically-equipped consolidation cells (oedometers) to simulate greater burial depth conditions. For low effective pressures (representing small burial depths extending to around 10 meters subsurface), the general applicability of established relationships was confirmed: the prediction of porosity, bulk density, and mean grain size from acoustic velocity and impedance appears generally possible for the investigated sedimentary environments. As effective pressure increases through, the observed relationships deviate more and more from the established ones for the near-surface area. For the samples tested in this study, in some instances increasing pressure even resulted in decreasing velocities. There are several possible explanations for this abnormal behavior, including the presence of gas, overconsolidation, or bimodal grain size distribution. The results indicate that an appropriate depth correction must be introduced into the published prediction equations in order to obtain reliable estimates of physical sediment properties for greater subsurface depths.     

Geoacoustic Inversion via Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to Manganese Sediment Identification

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Interannual Sea Level Variations and Annual Tides in the Northwestern Pacific

Specific properties of the interannual sea level variations and annual tides in the Northwestern Pacific were studied. Several tide stations were monitored. The monthly mean sea level for the year of 1995 was analyzed at each tide station. A seismic event in 1995, some tectonic activity around the subject area, and the Kuroshio (the oceanic western boundary current) may possibly contaminate results which would have occurred from the astronomical annual tide alone.     

Deep-Sea Sediment Compression Curves: Some Controlling Factors, Spurious Overconsolidation, Predictions, and Geophysical Reproduction

Oedometer tests have been carried out on 70 undisturbed surficial clays (at approximately 250 mm below the mudline), mostly collected by free-fall corers from sites widely scattered throughout the deep-sea North Atlantic. Acoustic measurements were also made, initially on contiguous samples and ultimately on the same sample using a geophysically instrumented oedometer which also collected electrical resistivity data. Apart from those quiescent areas below the carbonate compensation depth, such as north of the West Indies where very fine clays exist, most of the samples are silty clays whose geotechnical-geophysical properties are dependent on the type of clay minerals present (and their ability to take in moisture), the sand-size fraction, and the quantity of carbonate present. Thus the pure clays have high compressibilities which decrease on the addition of coarse particles, while the converse is true for the acoustic parameters, these increasing with the sand fraction. Using the notion of the intrinsic compression line for all samples, and comparison to it of the measured compression curves, it is clear that, contrary to some previously held ideas, most deep-sea clays are normally consolidated; the addition of carbonate has the effect of creating an open, stronger sediment skeleton. Interestingly, where information is available, the variation with depth of a sample's acoustic velocity follows the void ratio pressure relationship of the compression curve. This allows the construction of an in-situ sediment compression curve using the in-situ geophysical observations.     

Flow Cytometric Analysis of Coastal Lagoon Bacterioplankton and Picophytoplankton: Fixation and Storage Effects

The effect of different fixation and storage protocols on the flow cytometric (FCM) simultaneous analysis of bacterioplankton and phytoplankton in coastal seawater samples (Mediterranean coastal lagoons) was investigated. FCM measurements (cell number, fluorescence and scatter characteristics) were obtained through DAPI staining. Three fixatives [glutaraldehyde (GA), formaldehyde (FA) and paraformaldehyde (PFA)] and two storage (3 months duration) methods (5 °C and −196 °C) were tested. Two dominant populations were detected in studied samples: bacteria and eukaryotic picophytoplankton. Adding fixatives (2% final concentration) appears necessary to obtain FCM exhaustive counts of all the bacteria and phytoplanktonic cells. This was related to the permeation effect of fixatives which allowed a better DAPI staining of the cells. Maximum fluorescence, i.e. optimal staining of the cells was obtained with FA or PFA, and significant lower fluorescences with GA. Fixed samples stored at 5 °C induced rapid cell loss. Only storage in liquid nitrogen of samples fixed with FA or PFA, allows mid-term (≥4 months) preservation of bacteria or picophytoplankton cell numbers, and limited evolution of DAPI-induced fluorescence and scatter characteristics.     

Phylogenetic diversity and phenotypic characterization of cultivable bacterioplankton isolated from polar oceans

A set of 27 marine planktonic bacteria isolated from the polar regions was characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and physiological and biochemical testing. More than half of these bacteria were positive for caseinase, gelatinase and 13-glucosidase, and could utilize glucose, maltose or malic acid as carbon source for cell growth. Twelve isolates expressed nitrate reduction activities. Except for one antarctic isolate BSwlO175 belonging to Actinobacteria phylum, these isolates were classified as γ-Proteobacteria, suggesting that γ-Proteobacteria dominated in cultivable marine bacterioplankton at both poles. Genus Pseudoalteromonas was the predominant group in the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and genus ShewaneUa dominated in cultivable bacterioplankton in the Prydz Bay. With sequence similarities above 97%, genus Psychrobacter was found at both poles. These 27 isolates were psychrotolerant, and significant 16S rDNA sequence similarities were found not only between arctic and antarctic marine bacteria （ 〉 99% ）, but also between polar marine bacteria and bacteria from other aquatic environments （ ≥ 98.8% ）, including temperate ocean, deep sea, pond and lake, suggesting that in the polar oceans less temperature-sensitive bacteria may be cosmopolitan and have a bipolar, even global, distribution at the species level.
