晚更新世以来黄土塬区临潼-长安断裂的活动性研究

黄土塬区晚更新世风成黄土分布广、特征明显,与断裂关系直接.通过小鲍陂、桥沟、冢底村3个典型晚更新世断层剖面的仔细观察、测量和年代学工作,获得了白鹿塬、少陵塬、横岭塬3个黄土台塬上临潼-长安断裂晚更新世以来的活动性参数和区域地层的年代序列.研究结果表明,晚更新世以来临潼-长安断裂在白鹿塬段活动性最强,明显错断了黄土L1-2地层,而其两侧的少陵塬和横岭塬上,同时期断裂的活动性相对弱些.剖面中黄土L1-2及其以上地层被裂缝穿切的现象有可能说明,晚更新世中晚期以来临潼-长安断裂仍在活动,仅是强度有所减弱.     

临潼-长安断裂带晚第四纪以来的活动性

对临潼-长安断裂带进行了详细的野外调查,以期掌握其最新活动年代和第四纪以来的活动特征。该断裂总体走向NE,以张性垂直运动为主,断面明显错断了黄土中的第1层古土壤S1,说明其晚更新世以来仍在活动,并且北段和中段的活动性比南段强,但是错距大多<2m,滑动速率较小,考虑到临潼-长安断裂带由多条次级断层组成,其整体活动性应该比我们计算得到的局部断层滑动速率大得多。断层错距自上而下成递增趋势,并且根据不同地层年代计算出的滑动速率基本一致,因此该断裂带自中更新世晚期以来极可能以垂向蠕滑活动为主     

临潼-长安断裂小鲍陂一带晚第四纪剖面研究

通过临潼-长安断裂带少陵塬段小鲍陂一带断层陡坎和断层剖面的地质调查, 并结合黄土地层光释光(OSL)年龄测试和钻孔探测, 研究了该段落晚第四纪以来的地貌标志、 活动方式和幅度以及平均滑移速率。 该断裂断面明显错断了古土壤(S₁)底界, 并且断层上断面以裂缝形式延伸至弱古土壤(L_1s)地层中, 根据光释光(OSL)测年结果该断裂至少在晚更新世中晚期以来仍有活动, 以断层两侧晚更新世底界S₁地层稳定的趋势面为标志, 错距达5 m多。     

临潼-长安断裂带晚更新世时期的活动特征

对野外大量断层露头及探槽剖面分析所作表明,临潼—长安断裂带错断晚更新世第一古土壤层0.2~6.0m,平均1.1m,最大活动速率为0.047mm/a。在晚更新世晚期断裂表现为裂缝形式,地层没有明显的错动,断裂活动较弱。晚更新世白鹿塬段断裂活动相对较强。     

临潼-长安断裂活动性研究

临潼—长安断裂是渭河盆地内部骊山凸起和西安凹陷之间一条重要的分界性断裂,前人研究表明该断裂在全新世有强烈活动。通过对该地区钻孔资料的收集整理、跨断裂阶地测量分析以及晚更新世古土壤标志层错距的量测,分析了早更新世后期以来断裂的活动性特征,认为临潼-长安断裂在中更新统以前有过强烈活动,中更新世以来断裂活动性明显减弱,活动形式表现为张裂或小的位错。

新疆阜康—吉木萨尔断层晚第四纪活动与变形特征的新认识

阜康—吉木萨尔断层是博格达山体与山前冲洪积平原的分界断层，全新世以来仍在活动，山前的冲洪积平原和河流低级阶地均发生了不同程度的拱曲变形，断层剖面揭示了该断层晚更新世末期有3次古地震事件。断层近地表后倾角变缓，地表的陡坎地形主要是由地层的拱曲变形形成的，反映了断层近地表位错的消减和分配规律。     

黄土高原秦安中新世黄土-古土壤序列的蜗牛化石初步研究

通过对秦安中新世黄土-古土壤序列蜗牛化石的初步调查研究表明, 在距今22~6.2 Ma期间长达近16 Ma的黄土-古土壤沉积发育过程中, 无论黄土还是古土壤地层中都保存有较丰富的蜗牛化石种类, 目前发现的15种蜗牛化石全部是陆生种类, 化石个体保存完整, 为原地埋藏的种群, 未发现水生的种类, 多数为第四纪黄土-古土壤序列中的常见种类, 可划分为冷干和温湿两个生态类群, 冷干类主要见于黄土地层中, 温湿类主要分布于古土壤地层中. 自中新世至第四纪期间, 蜗牛化石Metodontia(间齿螺)类和Cathaica(华蜗牛)类的属种具有明显的演化趋势, 新的种类的出现和演化与这一时期大的气候环境的改变在时代上有较好的一致性, 反映了蜗牛生态种类对全球/区域性环境格局变化的响应. 初步研究结果表明, 中新世黄土-古土壤序列与第四纪黄土-古土壤序列有着相似的沉积背景. 研究结果为秦安中新世黄土-古土壤序列沉积环境、气候演化等提供了生物化石证据.

陕西渭北晚更新世黄土-古土壤结合水膜厚度的试验研究

为深入剖析黄土与古土壤工程性质的影响因素,以陕西渭北晚更新世黄土与古土壤为研究对象,基于核磁共振、比表面积测试并结合理论分析对结合水膜厚度进行研究。试验结果显示：黄土与古土壤的结合水膜厚度存在明显差异,黄土的结合水膜厚度明显大于古土壤,原因在于古土壤孔隙体积及孔径小于黄土,而古土壤中高价阳离子含量大于黄土,同时古土壤颗粒表面分布铁锰质薄膜,其亲水性较弱。分析结合水膜与黄土湿陷性、回弹变形等工程特性间的关系,发现黄土-古土壤的湿陷性随结合水膜厚度的增大而增强,随结合水膜厚度的减小而减弱,结合水膜厚度与卸荷变形系数呈正相关关系。综合分析说明,高价阳离子含量、颗粒表面特性,及孔隙性的不同造成了黄土与古土壤结合水膜厚度的差异,从而导致黄土与古土壤的湿陷性等工程性质有显著区别。     

Ages of Liangshan Paleolithic sites in Hanzhong Basin,central China

Thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) dating extends the age range beyond current limits of OSL dating in Chinese loess. In this study, we use a single-aliquot regenerative-dose procedure for TT-OSL protocol to date Yaochangwan and Hejialiang localities of loess-covered Liangshan Paleolithic sites in Hanzhong Basin, which is an important area for the study of Paleolithic industries during the middle Pleistocene in central China. The results suggest that buried culture layer at the Hejialiang locality is correlated with the last interglacial paleosol S1 in Chinese Loess Plateau, it is dated at 86.3 ± 6.4 ka. The Yaochangwan locality spans from approximate 600–100 ka and correlates with S5–S1 in the typical Chinese loess–paleosol sequences, respectively. These ages suggest that hominins already occupied the Hanzhong Basin since approximately 600 ka ago.

Instability characteristics of the East Asian Monsoon recorded by high-resolution loess sections from the last interglacial (MIS5)

The selection of high-resolution loess sections is needed in order to determine the climatic variability of the East Asian Monsoon during the last interglacial. Two sequences of S1 on the eastern and west-ern sides of the Liupan Mountain were both composed of five paleosol layers and four loess layers,indicating that there were five strong summer monsoon events and four strong winter monsoon events in MIS5. This corresponds with other records of the East Asian Monsoon,along with NGRIP and the North Atlantic records,implying that the climate of the Northern Hemisphere was very instable during the last interglacial. Two layers of paleosols and one layer of loess had developed during MIS5a and MIS5c. Compared with MIS5e,the climate in MIS5a and MIS5c fluctuated more intensively on a millen-nial scale,whereas the climate was relatively stable in MIS5e.     

Molecular fossil and paleovegetation records of paleosol S4 and adjacent loess layers in the Luochuan loess section, NW China

Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique, a series of biomarkers were identi- fied, including n-alkanes, n-alkane-2-ones, isoprenoid etc. from the loess-paleosol samples collected from the S4 and adjacent L5, L4 of the Luochuan loess section, Northwestern China. Based on these data, especially n-alkanes and high-resolution magnetic susceptibility and grain size data, the pa- leoenvironment and paleovegetation history during S4 was reconstructed. The CPI (Carbon Predomi- nance Index) and correlation between n-alkanes and magnetic susceptibility and grain size data dem- onstrated that the molecular fossils in paleosol and loess layers can reflect the vegetation condition during the loess-paleosol formation, if the allochthonous organic inputs could be excluded reasonably. The ACL (average chain length) index is correlated well with paleomagnetic susceptibility and grain size variations, displaying their good synchrony with warm and humid climate. However, it relatively lagged behind the paleomagnetic susceptibility and the grain size variations when the climate began to deteriorate. During the formation period of paleosol, the n-alkanes was dominated by C31 homologue, indicating that the primary organic input originated from herbs. Our study also demonstrated that the herbs were more flourish than wood plants in Loess Plateau, especially in the Luochuan area during the warm and humid phase, and there was no typical forest vegetation developed in the studied period.

涉县盆地控盆构造晚第四纪活动特征

涉县断裂为太行山隆起区内涉县盆地的控盆构造,走向由NE转为近EW向,倾向NW/N,中部在井店东被EW向断裂错断,是控制涉县盆地的一组断裂。本文采用地质地貌调查、河流阶地分析和地质测年等方法,研究了涉县断裂晚第四纪活动特征。研究发现,涉县断裂带由多组断裂构成,带宽约200m,在清漳河两侧表现为山前的陡崖地貌、基岩破碎变形带,具有正断兼走滑特征,在基岩变形带上部发育走向NNE向和NWW向次级滑动面,次级滑动面错断第四系黄土,最新活动到晚更新世;断裂在盆地区通过,地表形成低缓陡坎,断裂错断Q2-3地层,表现为上陡下缓的正断层。通过对涉县断裂两侧清漳河河流阶地、夷平面和地层年龄综合分析,估算涉县断裂晚更新世以来平均垂直滑动速率为0.06～0.08mm/a,中更新世以来平均垂直滑动速率为0.22～0.34mm/a,垂直差异活动主要发生于中更新世期间。     

Holocene climate changes in westerly-dominated areas of central Asia: Evidence from optical dating of two loess sections in Tianshan Mountain,China

Optical dating was applied to two loess-paleosol sections (Lujiaowan and Shuixigou) from the northern piedmont of Tianshan Mountain, Xinjiang province, China. The two sections are over 200 km apart and have a similar depositional sequence, which consists of two paleosol layers embedded by one loess layer. Two difficulties were met in optical dating. First, because the sections are located on the slope of the mountain, it was found that some cliff debris, with coarse grains (>200 μm), were mixed with the eolian sediments by rainfall, especially in the paleosol layers. Second, the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals of quartz grains from the deposits were too dim to obtain a reliable equivalent dose (D_e). The 63–90 μm K-feldspar grains were separated to decrease the debris portion, and they yielded bright infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signals. A multiple-elevated-temperature post-IR IRSL (MET-pIRIR) procedure was applied to determine D_e. Comparing the optical dating ages of the two sections, the Lujiaowan (LJW) and Shuixigou (SXG) sections recorded almost the same depositional process during the Holocene. The ages of the two loess layers (2.44–3.38 ka at LJW; 2.47–4.36 ka at SXG) suggested that one drought event happened widely in this westerly dominated area. The same drought event 2.5–3.5 ka ago also happened in the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP), where the summer monsoon dominated. However, the paleosol development period (6.6–4 ka) in the study area was distinguished from the monsoon dominated area (8–4 ka), which suggests an arid early Holocene in the westerly area.
