晚更新世以来古气候与海平面变化在东海地区的响应

第四纪特别是晚更新世以来气温的大幅度冷暖变化,导致全球海平面的变化,引起陆架海侵和海退。东海陆架的气候和海平面变化与全球变化基本同步。晚更新世以来,东海陆架随全球气候变化发育多次海进海退旋回。东海陆架上的古河道、古三角洲和潮流沙脊等沉积体系的形成和演化与海平面升降变化存在耦合关系。     

冰消期海侵进程中南黄海潮流沙脊的演化模式

南黄海东侧底形资料、浅地层剖面和YSDP-102钻孔揭示了冰消期海侵初期的古潮流沙脊群；南黄海QC2孔上部岩心又揭示了全新世中期的埋藏古潮流沙脊群；8422柱状岩心补充了若干现代南黄海沙脊群-苏北岸外辐射状沙脊群的特征，根据^14C测年、ESR测年及突变事件的分析，获得了不同时期沙脊形成的年代标尺，并获得以下结论：（1）沙脊沉积在层序地层中属上海侵体系域（UTST），其发育与海平面密切相关，最佳发育深度在-20--30m水深范围内，很少有超过-40m者，南黄海沙脊群随着陆架海侵进程自东向西跃迁，沙脊群广泛发育预示海平面的相对稳定或小幅度波动期；海平面急剧上升期实现了沙脊群的跃迁，南黄海沙脊演化可划分为3期；早期（约12-9ka)是据新仙女木期（YD）的海平面波动，以南黄海东侧古潮流沙脊群为代表，中期（约6.3-4ka)包括了中全新世高温期气候突然衰退事件（MHCR）的海平面波动，南黄海中部QC2孔揭露的埋藏潮流沙脊是这一期的代表；晚期为2ka至今的海平面缓慢波动期，以现代苏北岸我辐射沙脊群为代表。（2）潮流沙脊沉积物特征反映了水动力条件的变化，早期沙脊处于强动力作用下，随着海侵范围扩大，形成沙脊的动力条件愈来愈弱。（3）南黄海、东海与北黄海沙脊发育与演化有着相似的历史，因此，南黄海沙脊演化与海平面关系模式适应于整个中国东部陆架区。     

粤西海岸全新世中期以来海平面升降与海岸沙坝潟湖发育过程

沙坝湖海岸是一种重要的海岸类型。文章论述了粤西海岸全新世中期以来在海平面升降影响下沙坝湖地貌的发育过程,得出如下结论：距今7000a至5000a．海平面曾上升至＋4m,由于大陆架泥沙的向陆堆积,形成了揭湖拦湾沙坝的后缘高突部分：以后海平面逐步下降至现今位置,它所形成的海退沙楔发育成低矮的向海沙坝和海滩;距今2000a,海平面趋于相对稳定;现今海平面微升,出现了海岸侵蚀。文章还对该地在海平面升降影响下的海岸泥沙运移机制以及海岸高海面堆积和现今海岸侵蚀现象作了解析。     

东海Zk23孔的古沙脊沉积环境

根据东海陆架Zk23孔岩心分析资料，进行了沉积地层学、生物地层学和年代地层学分析，确定了该钻孔中段细砂层为埋藏古长江河口沙脊沉积，阐明了该孔附近海区冰消期前后和冰后期的沉积历史。约在15kaB．P以前，海平面上升较快，沉积了下层的河口-水下三角洲相地层；约在15～12kaB．P．的冰消期期间，海平面波动并稳定于60～80m等深线附近，发育了沙脊地貌：约在12kaB．P．以来海平面再度快速上升，至7kaB．P水位稳定，直至今日，沉积了沙脊上覆的浅海相粉砂质黏土和黏土质粉砂地层。     

东海陆架冰后期潮流沙脊地貌与内部结构特征

东海陆架以宽平的地形、充分的陆源沉积物供应、快速沉降和强动力场为特征，中外陆架发育大规模潮流沙脊地貌。潮流沙脊走向大致为NW—SE向分布，与区域潮流主方向一致或成较小交角。东海陆架冰后期潮流沙脊以不对称横剖面为特征，陡坡倾向SW。沙脊内部发育典型的高角度前积斜层理，倾向与沙脊横剖面陡坡方向一致。这些斜层理可以划分为高达4组不同特征的组合，分别代表潮流沙脊发育的不同阶段，对应于冰后期海平面上升的不同时期。东海陆架潮流沙脊主体形成于冰后期海侵阶段，目前仍然受到陆架潮流场的影响，沙脊顶部为再沉积活动层。     

东海Zk23孔的古沙脊沉积环境

根据东海陆架Zk23孔岩心分析资料,进行了沉积地层学、生物地层学和年代地层学分析,确定了该钻孔中段细砂层为埋藏古长江河口沙脊沉积,阐明了该孔附近海区冰消期前后和冰后期的沉积历史。约15kaBP以前,海平面上升较快,沉积了下层的河口—水下三角洲相地层;15～12kaBP的冰消期期间,海平面波动并稳定于60～80m等深线附近,发育了沙脊地貌;12kaBP以来海平面再度快速上升,至7kaBP水位稳定,直至今日,沉积了沙脊上覆的浅海相粉砂质黏土和黏土质粉砂地层。     

白云凹陷北坡珠江组下段陆架边缘三角洲特征及其主控因素

为了明确白云凹陷北坡珠江组下段陆架边缘三角洲的形成演化阶段及其主要控制因素,采用地震沉积学、层序地层学的相关理论和方法,结合钻测井数据、地震反射结构特征和均方根振幅属性等资料,在前人研究的基础上对该陆架边缘三角洲的识别特征、演化模式和控制因素进行了重新认识和探讨分析。结果表明:陆架边缘三角洲在顺物源方向具有高角度斜交型前积反射,缺乏顶积层的海岸平原相,其前端发育盆底扇沉积;垂向沉积序列以多期反旋回的前三角洲、席状砂、河口沙坝和水下分流河道的叠置为特征,发育陆坡区常见的生物扰动、泥质条带变形和滑塌、滑动现象;珠江组下段陆架边缘三角洲形成于强制海退体系域时期,并伴随着盆底扇的发育,而低位体系域时期主要发育斜坡扇和低位楔状体;构造活动促使白云凹陷北坡在珠江组下段时期形成稳定分布的陆架坡折带,珠江组下段时期古珠江携带的充沛物源和该时期强烈的海平面下降使碎屑沉积物能够进积至陆架边缘,甚至陆坡地区形成陆架边缘三角洲沉积。     

东海北部外陆架MIS 6以来的沉积地层格架及古环境演化

利用最新采集的高分辨率浅地层剖面资料,结合SHD-1钻孔岩心资料,对东海北部外陆架MIS 6以来的地层结构进行了分析,建立了MIS 6以来的沉积地层格架,并对地层的地质年代进行了厘定。根据Octavian Catuneanu(2005)的层序地层学理论,研究区地层划分出海侵和高位体系域、下降期体系域、海退和低位体系域。研究表明,过孔的浅地层剖面与钻孔岩心的沉积地层有很好的对应关系。东海北部外陆架MIS 6以来可划分出7个不整合界面(D7—D1)和7个地震单元(SU_7—SU_1)。东海外陆架的海进层序与海退层序有规律地交替发育,它们与海平面变化曲线也有很好的对应关系。其中,地震单元SU_1、SU_5分别为MIS 1、MIS 5形成的海侵沉积,主要发育浅海沉积层,100 m以浅的位置发育潮流沙脊;地震单元SU_2、SU_4、SU_6分别对应MIS 2、MIS 4和MIS 6低海平面时期形成的河流/河口—三角洲沉积;地震单元SU3、SU4为下降期体系域,这两个亚单元分别对应MIS 3和MIS 4晚期。MIS 4—MIS 3发育厚层且分布广泛的水下三角洲,但MIS 4发育的水下三角洲的规模不及MIS 3大。总之,对MIS 6以来沉积地层格架的建立和古环境研究可为东海外陆架晚第四纪地层的海平面变化、古环境演化等相关研究提供参考。     

波浪动力因素变化对沙质岸滩演变的影响

通过波浪水槽实验,对海平面变化造成的波浪动力因素改变引起的沙质岸滩形态响应开展机理性研究。实验采用1∶10单一沙质斜坡概化岸滩,利用3种不同实验水深模拟海平面变化,考虑椭圆余弦波、非规则波、规则波和孤立波4种类型波浪作用。实验对波浪在斜坡上的传播变形、破碎、上爬和回落过程的波高及波浪作用后的岸滩地形进行了测量。实验结果表明,椭圆余弦波、规则波和非规则波作用下,平衡岸滩呈现出滩肩形态,孤立波作用下则呈沙坝形态。海平面上升造成波浪动力增强,沙质岸滩平衡剖面形状基本保持不变向岸平移,槽谷、滩肩、沙坝位置以及岸线蚀退距离,均呈现出良好规律性。     

东海外陆架晚第四纪若干沉积学问题的研究现状与展望

广西北海银滩侵蚀动力研究

广西北海银滩是一处典型的强潮海滩，以滩面宽阔、砂质纯白为特征，为当地的一处著名旅游景点。近年来银滩也出现了岸线后退、滩肩消失、沉积粗化等侵蚀迹象。为了研究银滩侵蚀的动力机制，本文对银滩海水浴场当前的滩面高程、坡度以及滩面后退距离特征进行了调查和分析。并基于2016?2018年间的滩面高程动态变化，分析了冬、春季风浪和台风期间水位、波浪特征与滩面侵蚀之间的关系，并进而探讨了最有可能造成银滩侵蚀的台风路径。研究表明，1985年以来的滩面最大后退距离为80 m，侵蚀造成海滩上部滩面坡度降低，使得海滩上部的剖面形态向上凸状转化。冬、春季节的风浪叠加高水位可能会造成一定程度的滩面侵蚀，并在海滩上部形成脊槽地貌，但是这种侵蚀会被夏季西南向涌浪导致的回淤所恢复。造成银滩侵蚀后退的主要原因是2003年以来风暴潮重现频率增加。发源于西太平洋，经海南岛北部或雷州半岛进入北部湾的台风可以导致显著的海岸增水，最易于引起强烈的海滩侵蚀事件。银滩东侧的渔港码头阻断了自东向西的泥沙沿岸净输运，也是加剧银滩侵蚀的重要因素。     

Stratigraphic framework of sediment-starved sand ridges on a mixed siliciclastic/carbonate inner shelf; west-central Florida

Seismic reflection profiles and vibracores have revealed that an inner shelf, sand-ridge field has developed over the past few thousand years situated on an elevated, broad bedrock terrace. This terrace extends seaward of a major headland associated with the modern barrier-island coastline of west-central Florida. The overall geologic setting is a low-energy, sediment-starved, mixed siliciclastic/carbonate inner continental shelf supporting a thin sedimentary veneer. This veneer is arranged in a series of subparallel, shore-oblique, and to a minor extent, shore-parallel sand ridges. Seven major facies are present beneath the ridges, including a basal Neogene limestone gravel facies and a blue-green clay facies indicative of dominantly authigenic sedimentation. A major sequence boundary separates these older units from Holocene age, organic-rich mud facies (marsh), which grades upward into a muddy sand facies (lagoon or shallow open shelf/seagrass meadows). Cores reveal that the muddy shelf facies is either in sharp contact or grades upward into a shelly sand facies (ravinement or sudden termination of seagrass meadows). The shelly sand facies grades upward to a mixed siliciclastic/carbonate facies, which forms the sand ridges themselves. This mixed siliciclastic/carbonate facies differs from the sediment on the beach and shoreface, suggesting insignificant sediment exchange between the offshore ridges and the modern coastline. Additionally, the lack of early Holocene, pre-ridge facies in the troughs between the ridges suggests that the ridges themselves do not migrate laterally extensively. Radiocarbon dating has indicated that these sand ridges can form relatively quickly (1.3 ka) on relatively low-energy inner shelves once open-marine conditions are available, and that frequent, high-energy, storm-dominated conditions are not necessarily required. We suggest that the two inner shelf depositional models presented (open-shelf vs. migrating barrier-island) may have co-existed spatially and/or temporally to explain the distribution of facies and vertical facies contacts.     

南黄海陆架沙脊的形成与演变

本文在对水深较大的滨外沙脊区钻孔、柱状样岩心详细观察的基础上,综合分析已有资料,并对该区浅地震地层剖面和水下沙脊的卫片进行了解译,提出南黄海陆架沙脊最早的形成年代为距今4000年,而现代的潮流沙脊形成于距今2000年以来的最近时期,潮流沙脊是在海面稳定、强潮流发育和大量物质供给的条件下形成和发展的,潮流沙脊的沉积物主要来自黄河和淮河;现代滨外沙脊具有向西北方向迁移、纵向延伸长度不断萎缩的动态演化特征。     

布容法则及其在中国海岸上的应用

布容（Ｂｒｕｕｎ）法则是预测海平面上升引起海岸侵蚀最早的方法也是最简单的方法。根据中国砂质和淤泥质海岸的情况,布容法则可定性地解释海平面上升与海岸侵蚀的关系,在满足它要求条件的海岸地段和发育时期,用它预测海岸侵蚀或许是可能的。但是,若不严格审查海岸环境和条件,把它作为海平面上升情况预测海岸侵蚀的普遍模式,有待更多的研究加以证明。     

Imprints of late quaternary climatic and sea level changes on East and South Indian coast

Along the coast of East and South India, a slow and minor sea level fall as an immediate response to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) followed by strong aridity and fast retreat of the sea to the outer shelf are indicated by coastal ironstones, traces of channels in nearshore shallow seismic reflectors, and submerged, structureless, multimineral placer sands. Nearshore peat beds and inland beach ridges reflect perturbations during Early to Mid-Holocene sea level rise. The Little Ice Age witnessed shifts in littoral sediment budget, possibly as a result of reduced transport of sediments from the Himalaya to the Bay of Bengal.

Runup of the surface waves of various shapes on a sloping beach

In the long-wave approximation, we perform the numerical analysis of the plane problem of runup of waves of various shapes on a sloping beach. We study transformations of the shape of waves flooding the beach and in the course of their subsequent rundown. The dependence of maximum elevations and lowerings of the sea level on the parameters of the waves approaching the beach, the depth of the shelf, and the slope of the bottom are investigated. It is shown that the shape of waves affects the amplitude characteristics of oscillations of the coastline. The heights of the vertical runup of waves incident on a sloping beach can be several times higher than the amplitude of waves entering the shelf zone.     

Indirect evidence for sediment transport on the continental shelf off Israel

The geographical distribution of coal particles that fell during nine years to the sea bottom from the open sea coal terminal off Hadera, Israel, shows a consistent northerly transport path, and it is inconceivable that the sand at that location would move in an opposite direction. Semicircular, current-scoured moats associated with small mounds found at the edge of the continental shelf off Ashdod and Haifa, Israel, also suggest a general northward-directed sediment transport. The northward sediment flow on the Israeli continental shelf inferred from this evidence therefore supports the model of Emery and Neev about general sand transport patterns along the Israeli coastline and continental shelf.     

Sea-level rise impact on the evolution of a microtidal Mediterranean coastline without human-made structures——a case of the Port aux Princes-Sidi Daoued coastline,Gulf of Tunis,NE-Tunisia

The evolution of the natural and pristine Mediterranean coastline Port aux Princes-Sidi Daoued(Gulf of Tunis,NE-Tunisia) is studied during the period of 1887–2010 on the basis of an ancient minute of bathymetry(1887) and aerial photographs treated by numerical photogrammetric methods. Morphological changes of the coastline shows a general retreat despite the absence of the various anthropogenic actions. Adding to the drift currents and the currents of high energy that are generated by the N-W dominant waves along steeply sub-marine funds, the erosion is mainly due to the sea level rise which increased since the beginning of the 2000 s. The Port aux PrincesSidi Daoued coastline works as a single littoral cell limited by Jbel Korbous to the SW and the fishing harbor of Sidi Daoued to the N-E.
