内陆干旱区柴达木盆地苏干湖年纹层的发现及其意义

柴达木盆地北缘苏干湖若干钻孔岩芯发现, 水深大于3.0 m的沉积物均具有裸眼可分辩的由深色层和浅色层组成的纹层层理. 以湖泊中心SG03I孔上部5.5 m具有纹层结构的沉积岩芯为研究对象. 基于沉积物收集装置的现代过程研究发现, 苏干湖夏秋季以浅色的单水方解石为主, 冬半年以深色有机质为主, 现代湖泊能够形成冬半年深色层和夏半年浅色层的纹层沉积. 岩芯中有四种类型的纹层沉积: 单水方解石-有机质纹层、白云石-有机质纹层、碎屑-硅藻(碎屑)纹层与文石-有机质纹层, 均具有季节特征, 属可靠的年纹层, 且顶部纹层计年与210Pb测年结果一致. 根据纹层计年, 年纹层沉积形成于距今2670 a以来. 苏干湖纹层沉积是中国西部干旱区发现的第一个能够确认为是年纹层的湖泊沉积, 4种不同类型的年纹层指示了不同气候类型及其季节差异, 具有重建高分辨率气候变化的重要意义.     

泥炭沼泽不同植物群落中地表糙度变化及其影响机制

对藏南沉错CCl孔216个沉积物样品进行了15种金属元素含量的测试,研究金属元素含量的分布特征,以及与粒度参数的变化关系．结果显示：金属元素的分布特征可分为三组,K、Na、Mg、Al、Ti、Ba、Cu、Zn、Fe、Pb、Cr、V等12种元素具有较为相似的变化趋势;Ca和Sr变化趋势相同;而Mn与其他任何一种元素都不相似．元素分布与粒度参数的相关分析结果表明,Ca、Ti、Pb的变化与沉积物粒度没有明显的关系;K、Na、Al、Ba、Cu、Fe、Cr、V等8种元素与沉积物粘土含量（〈4um）呈正相关关系;Mg、Zn、Mn与粉砂含量（4—63μm）呈正相关关系;而Sr与砂含量（〉63gm）呈正相关关系本研究中大部分元素的粒度效应与其他湖泊、海洋等水体沉积物中元素的粒度效应具有一致的结果．与本岩芯已有的过去1400年来的环境重建资料对比可以发现,在不同的环境变化阶段,元素组合特征都与湖区环境状况具有较好的对应性．其中大部分元素的含量变化受物源条件即流域风化侵蚀程度的影响,而Ca含量不受沉积物粒度变化影响,且与沉积物中碳酸盐含量、Sr／Ba具有很好的相关性,说明其变化受物源条件影响小,而主要与湖水理化性质、蒸发强度以及湖泊沉积过程有关．     

地下水补给型湖泊表层沉积物矿物组成及其形成机制——以巴丹吉林沙漠湖泊群为例

盐湖中的矿物沉积记录着丰富的环境气候变化信息,是古环境研究的重要对象.在无地表径流补给的盐湖中,其矿物组成及沉积特征与有地表径流补给的湖泊相比是否有一定的特殊性,是值得探讨的问题.采集巴丹吉林沙漠33个不同矿化度地下水补给型湖泊的表层沉积物和10个地表风积砂样品,通过X衍射的方法,分析样品的矿物组成.结果显示:湖泊表层沉积物主要为石英、长石、辉石、云母等碎屑矿物,部分湖泊含有少量的碳酸盐和氯化物盐类矿物.湖泊沉积物的矿物组成与湖水矿化度的关系较为密切,淡水湖仅分布碎屑矿物,微咸水湖含有碎屑矿物和碳酸盐类矿物,盐湖含有碎屑矿物、碳酸盐类矿物和氯化物.风积砂样品中主要为碎屑矿物,占总矿物含量的90%,对湖泊沉积物的矿物组成影响较大,但对湖泊沉积物中的盐类矿物没有贡献,表明湖泊表层沉积物中盐类矿物主要是自生作用形成的.虽然本地区湖泊边缘的沉积物中盐类矿物种类相对较少并且含量较低,但其盐类矿物组成与分布能够响应湖水矿化度的变化,其环境指示意义与有径流补给的盐湖相同,可以指示其湖水的盐度.因此,可以从巴丹吉林沙漠地下水补给型湖泊沉积的盐类矿物中提取相应的古环境信息,用于恢复古气候和古环境的研究.     

云南阳宗海沉积物重金属污染时空特征及潜在生态风险

分析了阳宗海柱状及表层沉积物中Al、Fe、Mn、Zn、Cr、Co、Ni、Cu、As、Cd、Pb等金属元素的含量,结合沉积年代学,研究了沉积物重金属污染的时空变化和潜在生态风险特征.结果表明,表层沉积物中重金属含量具有一定的空间差异性,As、Cd、Cu、Pb和Zn在中东部湖区含量较高,而Cr、Co、Ni含量高值位于南、北湖区的近岸区域;柱状沉积物中,1990s之前As、Cd、Cu、Pb和Zn含量较为稳定,1990s中后期以来,其含量逐渐增加,并在2009-2010年前后达到最大值,此后逐渐下降;而柱状沉积物中Cr、Co、Ni含量变化趋势与Al、Fe相似,总体上由下向上逐渐降低,这主要与沉积物质地(粒度)逐渐变粗有关.重金属富集系数表明,阳宗海沉积物中主要污染元素为As、Cd、Cu、Pb和Zn,1990s中后期污染程度快速增加,2009-2010年前后达到峰值,此后污染程度逐渐降低;表层沉积物中Cu为未污染至"弱"污染水平;Zn、Pb为"弱-中等"污染水平,As为"中等-强"污染水平,Cd为"弱-强"污染水平,中东部湖区污染程度高于其他湖区,这可能与该湖区缺少入湖径流、自然碎屑物质沉积速率较低以及砷污染事件等人为源的重金属贡献影响更为显著有关.生态风险评价结果表明,在2002-2010年前后沉积物重金属达到"中等-强"潜在生态危害,主要贡献因子是Cd和As,近年来其生态风险等级逐渐降低;表层沉积物中重金属在中东部湖区具有"中等"程度潜在生态危害,而其他湖区表层沉积物重金属具有较低程度的潜在生态风险.     

楚科奇海表层沉积物的稀土元素地球化学特征

对楚科奇海26个表层沉积物样品的稀土元素分析结果表明, 稀土元素在细粒沉积物中较为富集, 在粗粒沉积物中亏损. 稀土元素的页岩标准化配分模式以平坦型为主, 少数样品为轻稀土弱富集型或重稀土弱富集型, 说明楚科奇海表层沉积物以陆源碎屑物质为主, 化学风化作用弱. 从稀土元素地球化学特征的区域变化来看, 海区东西两侧沉积物分别来源于阿拉斯加和西伯利亚地区, 海区中南部沉积物与育空河物质的向北扩散有关. 海区中部赫雷德浅滩为残留沉积, 沉积物SCe/SY比值大, 铈的负异常不明显, 铈的富集可能与氧化条件下锰的早期成岩迁移有关.     

稀土元素在湖相沉积中的地球化学分异——以柴达木盆地贝壳堤剖面为例

通过对柴达木盆地察尔汗古湖贝壳堤剖面沉积物中酸溶与残留（或酸不溶）组分稀土元素及其相关指标、分布模式和（La/Yb）n-REE物源差异的分析,讨论了古湖相沉积中稀土元素的分异及其与沉积环境之间的关系.分析结果表明剖面典型湖相沉积物中稀土元素在酸溶与残留组分中总丰度平均分别为20.9和95.4μg·g-1（不包括Y）,即酸溶组分中稀土总量仅为残留组分中稀土总量的21.9%,存在明显分异;两种组分的稀土分布模式均为轻稀土适度富集缓右倾斜型、Eu呈负异常模式,但不同之处在于残留组分表现为更加富集轻稀土成分;两种组分中不同稀土元素及其相关参数之间不存在明显相关性,这些均反映了湖相沉积不同的物质来源和地球化学行为;此外,稀土元素与沉积物细粒组分、Rb/Sr及Mn元素含量之间存在较好的相关性.酸溶组分与残留组分中稀土元素元素对环境响应存在一定差异,其中,酸溶组分中稀土元素对湖区古气候变化具有良好的指示作用;δCe和（La/Yb）n可以很好的指示湖泊及流域的风化强度、氧化-还原状态和气候变化情况,据此重建了距今43.5～22.4ka高湖面期间古气候与环境演变历史.     

太湖近代沉积物中重金属元素的累积

利用210Pb、137Cs定年技术,对来自太湖不同生态和沉积特征的三个湖区的沉积物柱状样品进行了定年,用ICP—AES分析了沉积物中重金属等元素的含量,分析了太湖沉积物中重金属的累积特征及其成因.污染较重、蓝藻水华暴发频繁的梅梁湾沉积物中的重金属含量在近25年来逐年增加;太湖上游风浪较大的夹浦湖区表层10cm沉积速率大、粒度粗,除表层1cm外,1—10cm沉积物中各种重金属含量都较低,且层间变化剧烈;下游湖区正逐渐草型化的胥口湾除表层3cm外,沉积物中重金属的含量自底层向表层大致呈不断下降的趋势.研究表明,不同年代的太湖沉积物中重金属含量差异很大,明显大于不同湖区间沉积物重金属平均含量间的差异.水动力作用引起的沉积物粒度分异很可能是影响沉积物中重金属积累的一个重要因素.总体上太湖沉积物中重金属的污染比较轻微,但已经有一定程度的Cd污染,梅梁湾沉积物中自上世纪70年代开始明显积累Cd,其他重金属元素的积累也逐渐增加,值得关注.

北祁连造山带老君山组沉积地球化学与物源分析

老君山组砾岩是北祁连造山带早泥盆世、中泥盆世强烈隆升阶段形成的陆相磨拉石沉积.由西到东,来自肃南、民乐、古浪和靖远的41件砂岩的岩石地球化学特征显著不同:①主量元素显示,西部(肃南、民乐)样品MgO+Fe2O3T值和Al2O3/SiO2值高于东部,而东部样品K2O/Na2O比值高于西部;②在上地壳标准化分布图中,所有样品均亏损Nb,Ta元素.其中西部样品亏损Rb元素,而富集Sc,Co,Ni,V和Cr元素.而东部样品亏损Sr元素且不富集Sc,Co,Ni,V和Cr元素;③稀土元素球粒陨石标准化分配型式均显示右倾型,而LaN/YbN比值和Eu/Eu*值西部样品较低,而东部样品较高.岩石地球化学特征表明,老君山组源岩在东西两段上存在差异.西部肃南一带源岩主要为铁镁质岩石,而东段古浪、靖远一带源岩主要为长英质岩石,民乐一带源岩兼具上述两种岩石特征.根据砾石形态以及沉积地球化学,老君山组沉积物主要以未遭受沉积分选和再循环作用的近源堆积为主,且西部源岩未遭受化学风化而东部遭受了低-中等程度的化学风化.大地构造背景判别和源岩限定,西部肃南一带沉积物可能主要来自于卷入造山带的北祁连岛弧,自民乐向东,沉积物既有来自北祁连岛弧的物...     

中国源区粉尘的元素示踪

中国北方沙漠12个地点大气气溶胶粒子中10种粉尘元素的浓度-粒度分布显示,沙漠粉尘是黄土高原风成黄土的源物质,粉尘在间冰期气候条件下的传输受控于正常的大气搬运过程,冰期黄土的堆积过程中尘暴的影响明显增强。基于4种粉尘元素(Al,Fe,Mg,Sc)的组配特征,发现中国粉尘的主要源区-中国北方沙漠存在3个可统计分辨的区域,即西北部沙漠、北部沙漠高粉尘区和北部沙漠低粉尘区。应用化学平衡模式,建立了中国源区粉尘的元素示踪系统。     

The discovery of annually laminated sediments (varves) from shallow Sugan Lake in inland arid China and their paleoclimatic significance

Detailed examination of sedimentary cores retrieved from Sugan Lake in the northern Qaidam Basin of northwest China’s Tibetan Plateau reveal that fine laminated beddings form in the sediments where water depth exceeds 3 m. Seasonal surface sediments trapped at the bottom of the lake suggest that sediments deposited during summer and autumn are mainly light colored monohydrocalcites, while those deposited in winter are dark organic matter, indicating that varve layers form under modern limnological conditions. Continuous varve sediments comprising four types have accumulated in the upper 5.5 m of Core SG03I from the center of the lake. All types exhibit clear seasonality indicative of annual deposition. Varve counts correspondence with 210Pb dates on recent sediments in the upper core suggest the continuous varves of the upper 5.5 m of the core formed in the late Holocene (2670 a BP). The Sugan Lake varve sequence is the first demonstration of annually laminated sediments re-ported in arid western China.     

Geochemical baselines of major, minor and trace elements in the tropical sediments of the Terengganu River basin, Malaysia

The geochemical baselines and distribution of 31 elements (Al, Fe, K, Na, Mg, Ca, Mn, Ba, Cr, Zr, Ni, Sr, Zn, Y, Li, Cu, Mo, Nb, Th, Co, Ga, W, Ta, Be, Ti, Ge, Se, Bi, Te, Sc and Re) and physico-chemical parameters of the tropical surface sediments of the Terengganu River basin, Malaysia, are reported. Sediments are sandy loam to sand in texture consisting of mostly quartz, low organic matter content (average-2.68%), low CEC (average-2.02 cmol(+)/kg) and mildly acidic pH1:5 (average-5.91). Concentrations of Mn, Fe, Ba, Cr, Ni, Cu, Mo and Se were measured to be above the environmental sediment quality criteria at various locations. Lake sediments registered significantly higher Al, Fe, Ti, Mg, Ca, Mn, Te and Sc concentrations as compared to the river sediments. Most of the elements investigated showed an association with silt size fraction (2-63 μm). Among the investigated metals, Mo and Fe concentrations showed an increasing (5-fold) and decreasing (3-fold) trend, respectively, along the river path from the upstream to the downstream depending on the stream pH-redox conditions. The enrichment factor values (EF 5) of Cr, Ni, Mo and Se indicated enrichment from anthropogenic activities. Alkali and alkali earth metals registered a significant depletion (EF values 0.7) as compared to the Earth's crust. Principal component analysis of the two main components (PC1, 87.4% and PC2, 8.7%) revealed a well-defined group of estuary sediments. Lake and river sediment sampling locations did not form defined groups revealing heterogeneity in the origin of geologic material and the in-stream geochemical processes. However, Cr, Ni, Mo and Se formed a separate group with elevated concentrations (e.g. Cr1,000 mg/kg) indicating contamination of sediments. This work presents the geochemical baselines of the tropical sediments as industrial development and urbanization along the north east coast of Peninsular Malaysia are advancing rapidly.     

青藏高原可可西里库赛湖年纹层石英颗粒表面形态特征研究

湖泊是风成沉积的理想载体,利用扫描电镜分析石英砂的表面微结构特征,可以用于判断石英颗粒被风或水流搬运的相对距离和湖泊的水动力条件,从而判断其沉积环境与演化历史.库赛湖位于青藏高原北部可可西里地区,是青海省沙尘天气频发的地区之一,为进一步证实库赛湖年纹层粗颗粒层的风成成因,以库赛湖沉积年纹层为研究对象,结合青藏高原北部典型沙丘沉积、库赛湖冰面风成沉积、典型河流沉积和库赛湖湖滨相水成粗颗粒沉积样品,利用扫描电镜对上述沉积物石英颗粒表面特征进行观察研究,并统计35种特征的出现频率.结果表明:库赛湖地区典型风成物石英颗粒表面具有圆形轮廓、中低浮雕、翻板、新月型撞击坑、球根状边缘、直形阶梯、弓形阶梯、碟形坑等微形貌特征;典型水成物石英颗粒表面具有V型撞击坑、小型和中型贝壳状断口、少量溶蚀坑等微形貌特征;库赛湖年纹层粗颗粒层石英颗粒表面具有圆形轮廓、低浮雕、翻板、新月形撞击坑、球根状边缘、碟形坑等明显风成特征,与研究区风成物的石英颗粒表面特征相似,而与研究区典型水成物的石英颗粒表面特征差别很大.因此,库赛湖年纹层中的粗颗粒层是由风成作用形成的.     

Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of Lake Lugano sediment composition

The concentrations of eighteen elements (Al, C, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, N, Ni, P, Pb, S, Si, Ti, and Zn) in 76 sediment samples collected in Lake Lugano in 1973 and in 83 samples collected in 1985 were measured and used to draw distribution maps. The chemical compositions of sediments from the three lake subbasins were statistically compared, and used to describe the state of the lake at two time-points twelve years apart. The results obtained seem to be consistent with the available information about the recent evolution of Lake Lugano; both phosphorus and nitrogen are statistically higher in the 1985 samples than in those of 1973, confirming the reported tendency of the lake to evolve towards higher trophic conditions in this period of time. For both metals and mobile elements, the differences between the two sampling years and the literature data reflect fluctuations in the normal geochemical supply from the catchment basin, rather than significant contamination phenomena. However, elements like Ni, Cr, Zn, Pb and Cu tend to be more abundant in the most recent layers of the sediments, so further studies are needed to assess whether potentially hazardous conditions will evolve in the future.The work was performed at the EEC — Environment Institute, Joint Research Centre, I-21020 Ispra (Varese) Italy     

中国湖泊沉积物纹层年代学研究进展

晚第四纪尤其是全新世是地球气候系统演化的一个关键地质时期,是探究全球及区域重大气候环境事件,揭示其内在演化规律,预测未来气候变化的关键时段.国内外发表的文献中,主要的年代学方法有:AMS14C年代学、石笋U系测年和纹层年代学等.其中纹层年代学被认为是比较精确的定年方法.近年来,国内外学者在中国的一些湖泊中发现了年纹层沉积,例如龙岗火山区的小龙湾、四海龙湾及二龙湾玛珥湖,柴达木盆地的苏干湖,青藏高原东部的新路海以及可可西里地区的库赛湖.本文概述我国近年来湖泊纹层年代学研究进展,总结中国湖泊年纹层类型、特征及纹层年代学研究方法、误差估计等方面的进展,并提出未来年纹层研究应注意的问题,以期促进中国湖泊沉积物年纹层研究的进一步发展.     

陕西红碱淖近百年来环境变化的湖泊沉积记录

本文通过岩性、粒度、磁化率、有机碳、化学元素的多指标综合分析,对陕西红碱淖近百年以来的环境演化进行了探讨。红碱淖于1927年后开始成湖,以较低的磁化率值、低湖泊生产力和较高的Fe/Mn比值为特征;1952-1960年,为短暂湖泊快速扩张时期,在沉积物中表现为粘粒含量一度下降、各元素浓度明显被稀释;自1960年以来,岩性和指标特征反映了该湖演化为稳定的深湖环境。湖泊的形成和扩张与区域降水量的增加有关,而50年代后期以来湖面的迅速扩大同时得益于人类滩地疏导导致的入湖水量增加。人类活动也引起了近40年来湖泊生产力的提高和沉积物-水界面氧系统的变化。此外,钻孔粒度特征较好地分辨出20世纪30年代末至40年代3次强沙尘暴事件。     

Variation characteristics of heavy metals and nutrients in the core sediments of Taihu Lake and their pollution history

The sedimentary environment change, trophic evolution and heavy metals pollution history of the northern Taihu Lake in the last 100 years are studied according to the sedimentary geo-chemical proxies of the core sediments, such as grain size, nutrients, heavy metals, diatom, etc. The nutrients in the sediments depended mainly on the lake internal circulation and the heavy metals were from natural geogenic sources before the 1920s, which were not influenced by human activities generally, and grain size was one of the key factors influencing heavy metals content in the sediments. The alternation of manner and strength of human activities in Taihu Lake catchment before and after the 1920s made the lake sediments coarser, and hence heavy metals and TP content decreased contrasted with that before the 1920s. TP content in sediments and water increased from the 1950s to late 1970s due to anthropogenic pollutants discharge, and the lake belonging to mesotrophic state. TN and TOC content and C/N ratio increased due to the increasing external pollutants into Taihu Lake by human activities, TP content also increased obviously in water and sediments, and the diatom association was dominated by eutrophic species since the late 1970s, indicating the eutrophication state of Taihu Lake in this period. Meanwhile the increasing in heavy metals content, such as Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn, and their proportion of valid fractions in the sediments indicates that they all result from human pollutants since the late 1970s. The heavy metals in the surface sediments have certain potential biological toxicity due to the higher SEM/AVS ratio.     

阳澄湖近代沉积物的古湖泊学研究

对阳澄湖两上短柱状样进行了地上代以及各种环境指标分析。结果表明,湖底沉积物由被长期沉积间断所分割的３个岩性层组成：下部层Ｃ属再沉积的更新世晚硬土层;中部层Ｂ为全新世沉积;上部层Ａ为近１００年以来的表层沉积。对层Ａ的详细分析显示,本世纪以来,特别是７０－８０年代以来,金属元素,营养元素和色素的沉积通量明显提高,说明湖泊重金属污染和富营养化程度的不断加重。
