1954年以来珠穆朗玛峰地区两支冰芯记录的对比分析

根据珠穆朗玛峰(以下简称珠峰)地区远东绒布冰川和东绒布冰川两支冰芯记录的恢复,1954年以来的冰川净积累量相差达1倍以上,但两支冰芯记录均表明:20世纪60年代冰川净积累量出现急剧减少现象,印度季风系统的突变可能是造成冰川净积累量变化的主要原因.两支冰芯δ¹⁸O剖面的总体变化趋势基本相同,但研究时段内远东绒布冰芯的δ¹⁸O平均值比东绒布冰芯的相应值低3.12‰,其原因有待进一步研究.两支冰芯的主要离子浓度剖面之间也存在较明显的差异,沉积后过程是导致这一差异的原因所在.

珠峰北坡地区近地层大气湍流与地气能量交换特征

利用珠峰北坡曲宗地区连续一年的大气观测资料（2005年4月至2006年3月）,分析了珠峰北坡地区近地层大气湍流宏观统计特征和西南季风爆发前后地气能量交换特征。研究表明在珠峰北坡地区Monin Obukhov相似定律同样适用。拟合得到了珠峰北坡曲宗地区近地层无因次风速分量方差以及温度和湿度归一化标准差和静力学稳定度的函数关系。研究得出曲宗地区能量平衡各分量（净辐射通量、感热通量、潜热通量和土壤热通量）以及地面加热场具有明显的季节变化和日变化规律。尤其是在西南季风的影响下,曲宗地区感热通量和潜热通量在季风爆发前后具有明显相反的变化趋势。其它特征参数（波文比和地表反射率）在西南季风爆发前后的变化规律也十分明显。     

The spatial distribution of trace elements in topsoil from the northern slope of Qomolangma (Everest) in China

The environment of Mt. Qomolangma (Everest) area is of great significance to the global environmental background and environmental change research. However, there are few studies on the content and distribution of soil trace elements in the area. About 130 soil samples were collected nearby the Rongbuk valley at the northern slope of the Qomolangma from 4,400 to 6,600 m elevations. Nine soil trace elements, Cr, Zn, Sr, Pb, Ni, Co, Cd, Mn, Cu, were analyzed with ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atom emission spectrometry). The results showed that soil trace elements content increased with altitude; the content of the Cd in this area was very high, which was 5.8 times of the average content of Chinese soil. There was a noticeable change point for soil trace elements content at the altitude of 5,800 m, and the content of Cd increased abruptly above 5,800 m. This point was just located at the boundary of two types of rocks. The Late Precambrian-Neoproterozoic granite–gneiss and metacryst migmatized interbedded with marble located below 5,800 m; black-dark slate and marl of Cambrian located above 5,800 m (including 5,800 m), the geochemical characteristic of different rocks was the main factors controlling the soil trace elements content in the northern slope of Qomolangma Mountain.     

Characteristics of modern atmospheric dust deposition in snow in the Mt. Yulong region,southeastern Tibetan Plateau

We evaluated the concentration, size and distribution, and temporal variation of insoluble dust micro-particles in the snow, rainfall and water taken from the areas surrounding the Mt. Yulong to define the characteristics of modern atmospheric dust deposition and the contributions of different dust sources. The mean mass concentration (4511 μg kg⁻¹) of micro-particles with 0.57 < d < 26 μm, and the diameter (11.5 μm) of dust contained in the water bodies of the Mt. Yulong are roughly similar to those observed in other sites, implying that dust is primarily supplied through short-range transport from proximal source regions (several or hundreds of km distances). The mean mass concentrations of micro-particles with 0.57 < d < 26 μm is lower in the rainfall than in the snow and the river water, suggesting the rain water is an ideal source/carrier for detecting the characteristics of modern atmospheric micro-particles. Volume size distributions of micro-particles in the snow and water showed single modal structures having volume median diameters from 3 to 26 μm. Number concentrations of micro-particles in the snow were higher than that in the rainfall, the river water contains the least amount of micro-particles. Vertical profiles of the snowpits show that there is a strong lateral correlation among the dust peaks, indicating a regional uniformity of dust deposition and suitability of snow analysis for dust deposition. In addition, the bare rock of snow-free terrain in the Mt. Yulong region and the mineral particles from local rock weathering are also important sources for the dust deposition.     

Trends in atmospheric Cd deposition recorded in a 64-meter long ice-core and a 5-m snow pit record from Devon Island, Nunavut, Canada

Along with the rapid development of science and technology, natural matter and energy are further exploited and used. The pollution imposed on nature has also sharply increased. Only do we know the pollution history, can we make a correct appraisal of local environment, get the hold of the main cause of environmental pollution, and then take the effective measures to control the environment？ The evolution of heavy metal concentrations with time in the soil environment in the southern suburbs of Beijing were studied by using annual growth rings of trees. The absorption of 12 elements by different tree species in the same soil type was studied according to their absorption coefficients. The study indicated the differences in adsorption of elements by different species of trees. The adsorption coefficients of the elements Zn, Cd and P are higher. The correlations of nine elements （Na, K, Cu, Zn, As, Sr, Cd, Ba and Pb） in growth rings of poplar trees and those in soils near their roots show that the element contents in growth rings have a positive correlation with the contents in soils near the roots. Based on the logarithmic linear correlation model, the evolution of the contents of the elements Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Ba and Pb in soils from 1982 to 2004 was deduced. The trees have the characters of confirming year precisely, long life and widespread distribution. They are the ideal objects of study on environmental pollution changes. At present, research in China in this aspect is less, and the field of research is expected to further expand. This method can be used to provide richer and more scientific information on the history of environmental pollution and changes during modem urbanization in the past few decades and predicting the evolutionary trend of pollution change.     

珠穆朗玛峰绒布冰川水文过程初步研究

2005年4月8日至10月11日对珠峰地区绒布河水文过程进行了连续6个多月的观测.结果表明:该地区的水文过程与温度有较好的相关性,6~8月3个月流量约占观测期内总流量的80%.对比该地区1959年和2005年的水文观测数据,发现2005年同期总径流量比1959年有较大幅度增加,6~8月3个月月均流量2005年较1959年分别增加69%、35%、14%.分析冰芯恢复的降水量资料和珠峰附近长时间序列气象数据,降水自1950年以来保持下降趋势,而气温却呈缓慢升高.气温升高是径流量增大的关键因素.2005年观测期内控制流域径流深为622 mm,径流模数为38.52 L·s^-1·km^-2.     

喜马拉雅山珠穆朗玛峰北坡绒布冰川消融速率特征分析

根据1959年和2009年在喜马拉雅山珠穆朗玛峰北坡绒布冰川获得的冰川消融数据, 分析了该冰川消融速率变化特征.结果表明: 1) 在珠峰绒布冰川表碛覆盖区, 表碛厚度随海拔升高而降低. 2) 不同厚度表碛下的冰川消融速率差别较大; 当表碛厚度>8.5 cm时, 消融速率随表碛厚度的增加而减小; 促进冰川消融的表碛厚度阈值大于5 cm. 3) 从冰川消融速率的空间分布看, 绒布冰川大部分区域的消融速率<20 mm·d^-1, 最大消融速率出现在海拔5 400~5 450 m处. 4) 绒布冰川消融速率受表碛厚度和气温综合影响, 低海拔处表碛太厚, 高海拔处气温较低, 冰川消融在上述两海拔处均受抑制, 冰川消融速率较小; 在中海拔处, 表碛相对较薄, 气温相对较高, 冰川消融速率最大; 冰川日均消融速率与日均正积温正相关. 5) 喜马拉雅山南坡冰川消融速率大于北坡冰川消融速率.     

喜马拉雅山珠峰绒布冰川流域径流模拟

基于2009年5-10月喜马拉雅山北坡珠峰绒布冰川流域实测水文气象数据、 50 m分辨率DEM和中国第一次冰川编目资料, 在HYCYMODEL水文模型中加入冰川消融子模块, 模拟了绒布冰川流域径流过程.冰川消融子模块以海拔5 180 m基站的实测日气温、 日降水作为模型输入, 把气温、 降水插值到该流域40个高程带中, 分别计算各高程带的冰川消融和裸地蒸发, 并考虑液态降水对冰面的加热作用.野外气象观测表明: 2009年5-10月流域海拔5 180~5 750 m内, 月气温递减率在0.63~0.73 ℃·(100m)^-1之间, 均值为0.70 ℃·(100m)^-1; 同期降水观测显示, 海拔5 180 m以下降水梯度为-7.3 mm·(100m)^-1, 该高度之上降水梯度为22 mm·(100m)^-1. HYCYMODEL水文模型的敏感性检验表明, 该流域径流变化主要受气温影响, 降水变化引起的径流变化较小, 气温和降水变化对流域径流的影响是非线性的.     

Sr and Nd isotope compositions of atmospheric mineral dust at the summit of Mt. Sefuri, north Kyushu, southwest Japan: A marker of the dust provenance and seasonal variability

We analyzed Rb-Sr-Nd isotope ratios of mineral dust in total aerosol load collected with rainwater continuously from 1998 to 2006 at the summit of Mt. Sefuri, northern Kyushu, southwestern Japan. During this period, the total mass of the dust generally increased in late winter, peaked in early spring, and then decreased.⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr in atmospheric mineral dust varied from 0.7096 to 0.7180, and εNd(0)_CHUR from −19.9 to −3.5. During heavy deposition periods, the dust had high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotope ratios and low to middle εNd(0)_CHUR values, respectively. These compositions are comparable to those of sand and loess in arid areas of Northeast China, Takla Makan and Western Beijing. Such particles were transported by westerlies from those areas to northern Kyushu in winter and spring. In summer and autumn, the isotopic compositions of the dust varied greatly; however, during light deposition periods, the Sr isotope composition was low. In these seasons, the contributions to the dust from Japanese soils and volcanic ash, transported by southern winds, were relatively larger than in winter and spring because of decreased mineral dust particle transport from the continent. Nevertheless, fine sandy desert particles and loess in general accounted for most mineral dust deposition in northern Kyushu year-round, even in summer. Local soils derived from weathered granite and volcanic ash were minor components only.The net mass of water-insoluble inorganic matter in the collected mineral dust fluctuated from year-to-year; deposition on Mt. Sefuri was relatively large before 2001, decreased from 2002 to 2005, and increased greatly in spring 2006. These year-to-year differences probably reflected changes in the strength of the westerlies and in climate conditions in the arid source areas.     

Pleistocene glacial relief of the central part of Mt. Prokletije (Albanian Alps)

The central and highest area of Mt. Prokletije (Albanian Alps) is situated in northern Albania and eastern Montenegro (at 42°30′N). The highest peak is Maja e Jezerces (2694 m). Detailed geomorphological mapping was used to reconstruct the positions of former glaciers. The longest Ropojana glacier had a length of 12.5 km and surface of 20 km²; others include Valbona Glacier (9.5 km, 10.5 km²), Grbaja Glacier (5 km, 6.7 km²) and Bogićevica Glacier (6 km, 6.9 km²). Three series of moraines can be distinguished: the lowest at an average altitude of 990 m (average ELA 1750 m), the middle series at 1350 m (ELA 1942 m), and the highest at 1900 m (ELA 2123 m). As no advanced dating methods have yet been used to provide a numerical chronological framework for these features, hypotheses are made based on the comparison with the advanced studies of other similar mountains in the Mediterranean region. The moraines of the first stage (lowest series) correspond to one of pre-LGM glaciations (Middle or even Early Würmian), the second stage moraines probably correspond to LGM, and the third stage could be attributed to Younger Dryas. The mapping included a number of inactive and active rock glaciers, as well as three small active glaciers (surface 5 ha and less), at 1980–2100 m altitude, in the area close to Maja e Jezerces.     

A multi-proxy record of abrupt cooling events during the Windermere Interstadial at Crudale Meadow,Orkney, UK

Three clearly defined abrupt cooling events (ACEs) can be observed within Greenland Interstadial (GI)-1 in the Greenland ice-core records. However, the spatial variation in amplitude and timing of these ACEs is poorly understood due to the paucity of well-dated records with quantified temperature reconstructions. This study presents high-resolution chironomid-inferred July air temperature (T_Jul) and oxygen isotope (δ¹⁸O) records from Crudale Meadow (Orkney Isles, UK). Three centennial-scale ACEs punctuate the Windermere Interstadial at Crudale Meadow. The largest ACE shows an amplitude of 5.4 °C and a 1% isotopic decline and is centred on ~14.0 ka bp , consistent with the timing of the GI-1d event in the Greenland stratigraphy. The two other observed ACEs are of smaller magnitude and are centred on ~13.6 ka bp and ~13.2 ka bp , with these smaller magnitude events tentatively correlated with the GI-1cii and GI-1b events, respectively, but lack sufficient chronological constraint to fully assess their timing. When comparing the Crudale Meadow record with other locations in the British Isles a strong relationship can be observed between the magnitude of T_Jul cooling and latitude, with a reduced signal in more southerly locations, indicating that oceanic forcing may be a key driver of the ACEs.

西准噶尔克拉玛依OIB型枕状玄武岩地球化学及其地质意义研究

克拉玛依西山的枕状玄武岩与浊积岩-凝灰岩共生,厚度大于400米的枕状玄武岩层被火山角砾岩-安山岩-硅质岩．凝灰岩覆盖。岩枕之间充填着硅质泥岩。锆石SHRIMP定年结果表明,枕状玄武岩可能在早寒武世形成（〉517Ma,这套地层曾经一直被认为属于石炭系）。枕状玄武岩的稀土元素含量（117．4×10^-6～153．6×10^-6）和配分模式与洋岛玄武岩（OIB）基本一致。枕状玄武岩中大离子亲石元素（Cs、Rb、Ba、K、Pb和Sr）的含量变化较大（明显偏离OIB）,高场强元素（Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf、Ti和P）相对OIB和原始地幔没有表现出明显异常[e．g．,（Nb／Ta）PM=0．92-O．98,（Zr／Hf）PM=1．08-1．18]。西准噶尔地区存在这套OIB型海相火山．沉积建造说明古亚洲洋在西准噶尔地区于寒武纪就已经存在。这套海相玄武岩岩枕中存在大量古元古代一新太古代（1883—2536Ma）岩浆锆石的事实说明,早古生代洋岛玄武岩岩浆源区存在古老大陆地壳物质。     

Structural modifications of vitrinite and alginite concentrates during pyrolitic maturation at different heating rates. A combined infrared, C NMR and microscopical study

Immature vitrinite samples from a Miocene lignite seam of western Germany (H/C = 1.14, O/C = 0.41) and alginite concentrates from a Tasmanite deposit of Australia (H/C = 1.60, O/C = 0.10) were pyrolyzed in a stream of argon at heating rates of 0.1 and 2.0°C/min up to temperatures varying from 200 to 670°C. The solid maceral residues were subjected to elemental and microscopical analysis and studied by IR and ¹³C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy with respect to structural modifications.The maximum pyrolytic weight loss amounts to 60% of the initial organic matter in the case of vitrinite and to 85% for alginite, the onset of degradation reactions being shifted to higher temperatures with increasing rate of heating. Both infrared and NMR spectra of the vitrinite samples indicate a rapid decomposition of the cellulose component upon heating whereas lignin related structures such as aromatic ether linkages remain remarkably stable. The main hydrocarbon release from vitrinite occurs at very early evolution stages (T_max = 296°C, R_m = 0.20% at 0.1°C/min; T_max = 337°C, R_m = 0.23 at 2.0°C/min). Hydrocarbon generation from alginite requires higher temperatures (T_max = 388 and 438°C) and is completed within a distinctly narrower temperature range.The pronounced increase of vitrinite reflectance between 350 and 670°C seems to be associated with a rather time-consuming reorganization of the residual organic material. The concomitant growth of polyaromatic units is illustrated by the increasing intensity ratio of the aromatic ring stretching vibration bands at 1600 and 1500 cm⁻¹. These reactions are moreover marked by increasing loss of phenolic oxygen and by increasing conversion of aliphatic carbon into fixed aromatic carbon.     

河南西南部典型白垩纪剖面的岩石磁组构特征及其构造意义

对河南西南部西峡盆地阳城-丹水上白垩统岩石磁学、磁组构的研究表明,该陆相沉积地层磁性矿物以及特征剩磁载体以赤铁矿为主,并含少量磁铁矿,且磁铁矿与赤铁矿相对含量比例随剖面由老到新显示出逐渐增加的趋势。岩石磁组构主要受顺磁性矿物以及反铁磁性矿物的控制。全剖面磁化率椭球结果显示在原生沉积组构基础上叠加了最早期阶段的弱变形组构;同时,全剖面以及各岩石地层单元磁化率椭球体主轴方向的变化揭示了两个不同方向及大小的构造挤压作用导致磁化率最大轴从NNW-SSE向转至NW-SE向,后又到NNW-SSE向的变化模式,一方面是由于华南、华北板块NE-SW向的构造挤压导致;另一方面是由两板块构造挤压而引起的桐柏-大别造山带上地壳物质相对下地壳发生东向构造逃逸和挤出过程中与东部块体物质间发生的挤压作用引起,这两种不同的挤压应力作用在盆地发展的不同阶段各占主要地位。     

A multi‐proxy record of changing environments from ca. 30 000 to 9000 cal. a BP: Onepoto maar palaeolake,Auckland, New Zealand

We present a high‐resolution record of lacustrine sedimentation spanning ca. 30 000 to 9000 cal. a BP from Onepoto maar, northern North Island, New Zealand. The multi‐proxy record of environmental change is constrained by tephrochronology and accelerator mass spectrometric ¹⁴C ages and provides evidence for episodes of rapid environmental change during the Last Glacial Coldest Period (LGCP) and Last Glacial–Interglacial Transition (LGIT) from northern New Zealand. The multi‐proxy palaeoenvironmental record from Onepoto indicates that the LGCP was cold, dry and windy in the Auckland region, with vegetation dominated by herb and grass in a beech forest mosaic between ca. 28 500 and 18 000 cal. a BP. The LGCP was accompanied by more frequent fires and influx of clastic sediment indicating increased erosion during the LGCP, with a mid‐LGCP interstadial identified between ca. 25 000 and 23 000 cal. a BP. Rapid climate amelioration at ca. 18 000 cal. a BP was accompanied by increased terrestrial biomass exemplified by the expansion of lowland podocarp forest, especially Dacrydium cupressinum. Increasing biomass production is reversed briefly by LGIT perturbations which are apparent in many of the proxies that span ca. 14 000–10 500 cal. a BP, suggesting generally increased wetness and higher in situ aquatic plant productivity with reduced terrestrial organic matter and terrigenous detrital influx. Furthermore, conditions at that time were probably warmer and frosts rare based on the increasing importance of Ascarina. The subsequent early Holocene is characterised by podocarp conifer forest and moist mild conditions. Postglacial sea‐level rise breached the crater rim and deposited 36 m of estuarine mud after ca. 9000 cal. a BP. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

塔里木和中亚造山带西段二叠纪大火成岩省的两类地幔源区

对塔里木和中亚造山带西段二叠纪玄武质岩石地质、年龄、元素地球化学、同位素组成的系统总结表明,二叠纪火成岩在分布面积、岩石类型(以玄武岩占绝对优势)、活动时间(以275Ma左右为峰期)等方面均与世界典型的大火成岩省一致,将其命名为巴楚大火成岩省(Bachu LIP)。元素和同位素地球化学特征表明,塔里木玄武岩来自长期富集的岩石圈地幔,来源深度为60～80km。塔里木基性岩墙和超镁铁-镁铁杂岩的原始岩浆可能来自软流圈地幔(OIB)部分熔融。中亚造山带西段的玄武岩、基性岩墙和超镁铁-镁铁杂岩主要来自被俯冲带熔体交代的强烈亏损的岩石圈地幔,其中部分地区可能有软流圈物质的加入,如东天山和阿勒泰南缘高Ti系列的玄武质岩石。根据元素和同位素地球化学资料,将巴楚大火成岩省分为2个地幔省(mantledomain),即塔里木省和中亚省。这2个不同地幔省的成矿系列也有显著的差异,塔里木省为钒-钛磁铁矿矿床,而中亚则以铜-镍-(铂族金属)硫化物矿床为主,成矿作用的差异和岩浆地幔源区的差异是完全对应的。综合地质、地球化学和成矿作用,认为巴楚大火成岩省的形成和二叠纪地幔柱密切相关。

Radiometric ages of the Fire Clay tonstein [Pennsylvanian (Upper Carboniferous), Westphalian, Duckmantian]: A comparison of U–Pb zircon single-crystal ages and Ar/Ar sanidine single-crystal plateau ages

The Fire Clay tonstein [Pennsylvanian (Upper Carboniferous), Westphalian Series, Duckmantian Stage]–a kaolinized, volcanic-ash deposit occurring in Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Virginia–is the most widespread bed in the Middle Pennsylvanian of the central Appalachian basin, USA. A concordant single-crystal U–Pb zircon datum for this tonstein gives a ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 314.6 ± 0.9 Ma (2σ). This age is in approximate agreement with a mean sanidine plateau age of 311.5 ± 1.3 Ma (1σ, n = 11) for the Fire Clay tonstein. The difference between the two ages may be due to bias between the ⁴⁰K and ²³⁸U decay constants and other factors. The age of the Fire Clay tonstein has important implications for Duckmantian Stage (Westphalian Series) sedimentation rates, correlations with the Westphalian Series of Europe, Middle Pennsylvanian volcanic events, and the late Paleozoic time scale.
