青藏高原东北部冬给措纳湖湖区冰缘环境探讨

冬给措纳湖位于青藏高原多年冻土区东北部,湖区高寒沼泽、冰缘环境、冻土分布及其演化在全球气候变暖条件下,有其自身特点.为探讨冬给措纳湖湖区冻土分布及冰缘环境,2009年5月9—26日,对冬给措纳湖进行了考察,发现冻融草丘、冻胀丘遗迹、寒冻裂缝、热融洼地、古冻融褶皱等现代冰缘及古冰缘现象在湖区普遍存在.湖东、西岸的沼泽湿地中,热喀斯特发育明显,形成热融洼地和冻融草丘.湖北岸阶地及草场中存在零星和岛状冻土,经钎探表明,当时融化深度为0.3～0.8m,0.4m深度处冻土有胶结冰发育.湖东冲积平原的沼泽湿地中,冻融草丘和热融洼地存在;冻胀丘遗迹、寒冻裂缝在沼泽湿地边缘泥炭覆盖地存在.湖北岸二级阶地剖面发现古冻融褶皱.     

青藏高原纳木错异常高湖面重建工作研究进展与展望北大核心CSCD

青藏高原的许多湖泊发育有湖岸线、侵蚀阶地和高湖面沉积物,这些地貌和沉积单元是反映地质历史时期湖面变化的直接地貌和岩性证据。它们不仅反映了湖泊水文变化历史,还可作为揭示区域乃至全球环境变化的重要载体。在青藏高原众多湖泊中,纳木错最具典型性和代表性。纳木错湖岸最高古湖相沉积物位于现代湖面之上约150 m,高出当今溢流垭口约123 m。至今,有关纳木错异常高湖面的发育时代、湖侵-湖退过程、异常高湖面的形成机制、与其他湖泊之间的水文联系等科学问题仍不清楚或存在很大争议。本文以纳木错异常高湖面的特征、时代、期次和成因问题为主题,综述了一个多世纪以来国内外学者对纳木错湖面变化重建的研究成果,尤其对目前纳木错古湖面重建研究中存在的问题进行了总结,并对未来的工作重点进行了展望。此外,基于初步的调查结果,认为纳木错高湖面沉积可能形成于全新世中晚期,并指示了一次湖侵-湖退过程。南支槽的异常振荡及其导致的冬半年降水增加可能是引起湖面变化的主要驱动因素。     

西昆仑山南侧甜水海湖岩芯铁变化的环境记录

阐述了青藏高原西昆仑山南侧甜水海湖岩芯沉积物中氧化铁的丰度、频率分布和富集系数的变化规律。其丰度值范围FeO0．39％-3.95％，平均值为1．25％；Fe2O30．44％－8．09％，平均值为2．60％；Fe2O3／FeO0．21－3．60，平均比值1．12。说明该彻岩芯沉积物中铁平均丰度值较低，但其变化幅度较宽且清楚，在一定程度上反映了古气候环境具有较大幅度的波动。变异系数值表明，该湖岩芯沉积物中FeO的离散程度较Fe2O3大。大约距今23万年来氧化铁的沉积地球化学特征可划分出7个环境演化阶段，并基本上可与深海氧同位索阶段对比。揭示了甜水海湖演化与青藏高原强烈隆升引起的气候环境改变的密切关系。在距今23一15万年，沉积以河流相或冲积、洪积相为主，沉积环境以氧化环境为主导，气候以温干型波动；在距今15－7．4万年，沉积以湖相为主，沉积环境以还原环境为主导，气候以温湿型为主；在距今74万年以来，湖盆沉积环境多样化，沉积物以湖相和近源冲积、洪积相交替出现。气候出现冷湿、冷干、温湿和温干多种波动模式。这些资料分析初步认为甜水海古湖大约形成于距今15万年，即青藏高原第三成湖期，这也与青藏高原在距今15万年左右的再次构造隆升有关。     

西藏纳木错晚更新世以来湖面变化和湖相沉积中粘土矿物显示的环境信息

通过对西藏海拔最高、面积最大湖泊-纳木错周缘湖相沉积、湖岸堤的野外调查和湖岸阶地的水准测量,发现在纳木错沿岸拔湖48m以下,发育有6级湖岸阶地,拔湖48~139.2m发育有高位湖相沉积。湖相沉积物的同位素测年结果表明,纳木错湖泊发育与藏北高原东南部古大湖演化可划分为3个阶段:①116~37kaB.P.间的古大湖期;②37~30kaB.P.间的外流湖期;③30kaB.P.以来的纳木错期。根据纳木错晚更新世以来湖相沉积中粘土矿物的X光衍射分析结果,以及采用比值法、高岭石法和衍射峰法的研究,探讨了粘土矿物所显示的环境变化信息。粘土矿物成分变化表明,该区已具备了寒温带干旱、半干旱区的气候环境特征。为研究青藏高原的湖泊演化、气候变化、古地理变迁及其隆升过程等提供了新资料。      

黄河源地区晚更新世湖泛事件及其意义

通过青海玛多湖相地层剖面沉积特征,结合ESR样品年代测试结果,分析认为黄河源地区在13万年左右的晚更新世时期发生过湖泛事件。湖泛时期,玛多"四姐妹湖"相互连通,形成一个面积巨大的湖泊,约是现今"四姐妹湖"总面积的4.1倍。玛多地区此次湖泛事件与深海氧同位素MIS 6（Marine isotope stages 6）向MIS 5（Marine isotope stages 5）转变时期相对应,显示出青藏高原气候变化与全球气候变化密切相关,然而黄河源地区湖相地层对全球气候变化反应更敏感,记录的气候转换时间早于其他地区。玛多剖面湖相地层剖面沉积物的粒度、碳酸盐、磁化率分析表明,在132±10~128±12 ka年间,黄河源地区湖相沉积可分为9个阶段,表明青藏高原在MIS 6向MIS 5转变时期的气候变化是一个波动上升过程。13万年左右,黄河源地区大面积的湖相地层结束沉积,认为由于青藏高原共和运动,下游的多石峡被切开,湖水突然外泄所形成。      

金沙江“长江第一湾”段河谷地貌、沉积与发育

"长江第一湾"位于青藏高原东南边缘及其向云贵高原过渡的边缘地带,金沙江在该区深深切割了青藏高原东南边缘。按照河谷地貌与沉积特征,其宗—大具段金沙江可划分为其宗—下落鱼段、虎跳峡段和大具盆地段。详细描述了各河段的地貌与第四纪沉积特征,并根据同位素年龄等数据讨论了河流沉积物、湖相沉积物及冰川与冰水沉积物,特别是河谷中厚达150~250m的埋藏沉积物的成因与形成时代。在此基础上,讨论了研究区及邻区自中新世以来的金沙江河谷发育与青藏高原隆升问题。     

青藏高原第四纪重点湖泊地层序列和湖相沉积若干特点

本项研究对青藏高原代表性第四纪湖泊沉积区作了大范围调查,北自柴达木昆特依湖和昆仑山口、南抵江布-林芝,西起甜水海、东至迪庆.据青藏高原地质构造、沉积建造和地貌特点,将高原第四纪地层区划分为6个地层分区:藏南湖盆分区(Ⅰ)、羌塘高原湖盆分区(Ⅱ)(羌南湖盆亚区(Ⅱ-1)和羌北湖盆亚区(Ⅱ-2))、三江高山河谷分区(Ⅲ)、昆仑高山分区(Ⅳ)、柴达木、青海湖盆分区(Ⅴ)和阿尔金-祁连山高山区(Ⅵ).并对上述Ⅰ-Ⅴ分区第四纪湖相地层层序作了较详细划分和对比.从而指出青藏高原第四纪湖相沉积具有如下特点:①除了柴达木-青海湖盆分区外,其余各分区的湖滨剖面湖相碎屑沉积相对较粗,而同青藏高原属于全球第四纪最新隆起区相一致;②在湖盆区的湖相沉积常叠加或伴生冲洪积、风积相和冰碛或冰水沉积以及部分泥石流沉积、化学沉积与热水沉积.它们既反映青藏高原在第四纪隆升进入冰冻圈后湖盆沉积环境时有冷期发生,又反映高原隆升背景下,洪水期诱发山崩和泥石流堵塞成湖,或由于洪水泛滥,导致高原边缘内流湖决溃、湖泊消失(如Ⅲ、Ⅳ分区),还反映高原湖泊成盐过程与深部作用、强烈的新构造运动密切相关;③除了柴达木-青海湖分区(Ⅴ)和羌塘高原湖盆分区部分大型湖盆自第四纪以来有连续湖相沉积外,其他分区第四纪湖相沉积多不连续;④由于全新世青藏高原口趋干旱,除了一些现代积水湖盆外,有相当多湖泊干化,而缺失顶部湖相沉积.综上所述,为了获取青藏高原第四纪沉积连续环境记录,需选择高原内部或周边为数较少的新生代连续沉积盆地.本文论证了柴达木盆地是一个较理想的研究高原晚新生代湖相沉积区,建议在柴达木盆地实施晚新生代资源环境科学钻探工程.     

青藏高原东缘晚新生代地质特征与古环境变化

青藏高原东缘地区发育了完整的晚新生代湖相、黄土、红土和冰川沉积系列,不同成因的沉积物记录了晚新生代以来古环境时空变迁的信息。上新世昔格达湖相沉积发育于4.2～2.6MaBP,具有9个冷—暖气候环境变化阶段。川西风尘堆积始于1.15MaBP,连续记录了14个古季风变化旋回,成都平原红土记录了1.13Ma来的5个古环境演化阶段。青藏高原东缘发育了约4.3MaBP的老冰期,第四纪时期出现了5次极端古气候事件,对应为5期冰期。     

岷江上游近两万年前发生了什么事件?

在对岷江1933年叠溪古镇地震滑坡调查研究中,对较场大滑坡上覆盖的较古老的土黄色厚土层进行详细研究,发现并确认这是一套静水环境下的河湖相沉积物,定名为叠溪古堰塞湖相沉积。这套湖相沉积物厚度最大可达200余m,根据14C测试,形成于约两万年以前。此后在叠溪下游以及岷江支流杂谷脑河中又发现了几个古堰塞湖沉积物,测年初步判定,也都形成于距今两万年左右。这一事实揭示两万年以前岷江上游曾发生过一次重大的变动,系列堰塞湖几乎在同一时期出现,形成了特殊的生态环境,消亡过程必然对其下游乃至川西平原环境的演化发生重要影响。堰塞湖沉积物中记载了地质环境和古气候环境变化的信息,是深入系统研究青藏高原前缘地质环境近期演化规律的极为可贵的资料。文中对这些古堰塞湖作了简要介绍,并就一些主要问题进行初步讨论。

The terrestrial fauna of the Late Triassic Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry fissures,South Wales,UK and a new species of Clevosaurus (Lepidosauria: Rhynchocephalia)

Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry in South Wales yielded a rich cache of fossils in the early 1950s, including articulated specimens of new species (the small sauropodomorph dinosaur Pantydraco caducus and the crocodylomorph Terrestrisuchus gracilis), but no substantial study of the wider fauna of the Pant-y-ffynnon fissure systems has been published. Here, our overview of existing specimens, a few described but mostly undescribed, as well as freshly processed material, provides a comprehensive picture of the Pant-y-ffynnon palaeo-island of the Late Triassic. This was an island with a relatively impoverished fauna dominated by small clevosaurs (rhynchocephalians), including a new species, Clevosaurus cambrica, described here from a partially articulated specimen and isolated bones. The new species has a dental morphology that is intermediate between the Late Triassic Clevosaurus hudsoni, from Cromhall Quarry to the east, and the younger C. convallis from Pant Quarry to the west, suggesting adaptive radiation of clevosaurs in the palaeo-archipelago. The larger reptiles on the palaeo-island do not exceed 1.5?m in length, including a small carnivorous crocodylomorph, Terrestrisuchus, and a possible example of insular dwarfism in the basal dinosaur Pantydraco.     

Définition d'une limite multicritère ; stratigraphie du passage Campanien–Maastrichtien du site géologique de Tercis (Landes,SW France)Definition of a multi-criteria boundary; stratigraphy of the Campanian–Maastrichtian interval of the geological site at Tercis (Landes,SW France)

Lithostratigraphy, physicochemical stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and geochronology of the 77–70 Ma old series bracketing the Campanian–Maastrichtian boundary have been investigated by 70 experts. For the first time, direct relationships between macro- and microfossils have been established, as well as direct and indirect relationships between chemo-physical and biostratigraphical tools. A combination of criteria for selecting the boundary level, duration estimates, uncertainties on durations and on the location of biohorizons have been considered; new chronostratigraphic units are proposed. The geological site at Tercis is accepted by the Commission on Stratigraphy as the international reference for the stratigraphy of the studied interval. To cite this article: G.S. Odin, C. R.

The effect of water on accessory phase solubility in subaluminous and peralkaline granitic melts

The solubilities of columbite, tantalite, wolframite, rutile, zircon and hafnon were determined as a function of the water contents in peralkaline and subaluminous granite melts. All experiments were conducted at 1035 °C and 2 kbar and the water contents of the melts ranged from nominally dry to approximately 6 wt.% H₂O. Accessory phase solubilities are not affected by the water content of the peralkaline melt. By contrast, solubilities are affected by the water content of the subaluminous melt, where the solubilities of all the accessory phases examined increase with the water content of the melt, up to 2 wt.% H₂O. At higher water contents, solubilities are nearly constant. It can be concluded that water is not an important control of accessory phase solubility, although the water content will affect diffusivities of components in the melt, thus whether or not accessory phases will be present as restite material. The solubility behaviour in the subaluminous and peralkaline melts supports previous spectroscopic studies, which have observed differences in the coordination of high field strength elements in dry vs. wet subaluminous granitic glasses, but not for peralkaline granitic glasses. Lastly, the fact that wolframite solubility increases with increasing water content in the subaluminous melt suggests that tungsten dissolved as a hexavalent species.     

Quaternary stresses revealed by calcite twinning inversion: insights from observations in the Savonnières underground quarry (eastern France)

Calcite samples were extracted both from the rock matrix and the superficial coating of a karstified fault plane of an underground quarry, located in the eastern border of the Paris basin. The karstification is dated as Quaternary. Analysis of mechanical calcite twinning reveals that only the calcite matrix has also undergone a compression trending WNW that can be attributed to the Mio-Pliocene alpine collision. Both coating and matrix have undergone a strike-slip regime with σ₁ roughly trending north–south, that could correspond to the regional present-day state of stress, a strike-slip compression rather trending NNW, modified by local phenomena.
