武汉东湖是如何形成的?

东湖位于湖北省武汉市中心城区,是中国乃至亚洲最大的城中湖之一.她是首批国家重点风景名胜区和国家5A级旅游景区.武汉市正在打造东湖城市生态绿心.东湖对于武汉在资源、环境、生态、人文各方面均具有重要意义.关于东湖的成因长期众说纷纭.研究首次从地质、地貌、沉积等方面对东湖的成因进行了分析,并对东湖与长江的关系进行了讨论.（1）东湖位于中-晚更新世形成的岗地区.湖汊发育,岸线蜿蜒,岬湾交错,是东湖最大的特点.（2）东湖的湖相沉积厚度各处不一,总体呈现南薄北厚、边缘薄中间厚的特点.下伏主要地层为晚更新世下蜀黄土,在靠近基岩残丘的南部边缘局部为晚更新世坡积层,两者之间为明显的侵蚀接触关系.（3）东湖的湖盆形成于距今2万年左右的末次冰期盛期.东海海平面的大幅度下降,长江河床深切.发育于长江南岸珞珈山、南望山、喻家山一带的地表径流,在汇入长江时因江水水位较低而发生侵蚀,形成多条冲沟组合而成的侵蚀洼地.之后,随着冰后期的全球变暖,长江水位快速上升,两岸天然堤发育、壮大,使侵蚀洼地的出口被淤塞,逐渐积水成湖,即东湖为沟谷壅塞湖.（4）根据湖泊地质地貌特征,东湖与沙湖是两个不同成因且相对独立的湖泊;长江并未经东湖流过.但东湖的形成与长江有关,乃是全球气候变化驱动下海、江、湖相互作用的产物.（5）东湖之美,美于自然.保护其自然特质,顺应其自然规律,是东湖保护与利用必须坚持的原则.将湖域、湖岸、岸上作为一个整体,将水域和流域作为一个系统,按照山水林田湖草生命共同体的科学理念,对东湖进行整体性和系统性的保护与治理是十分必要的.      

全新世中期相对稳定的长江水位造成约3000年的湖泊沉积缺失

长江中下游地区浅水湖泊密布,全新世该区湖泊沉积的模式还不清晰。本研究在长江中下游的南漪湖、升金湖和菜子湖这3个湖泊开展了多钻孔AMS^14C测年工作,测年结果显示这些湖泊沉积地层中广泛出现长时间尺度的沉积物缺失。南漪湖湖泊钻孔的沉积物14C年龄介于5668~7828cal.aB.P.,菜子湖湖泊钻孔的沉积物^14C年龄介于6221~7929cal.aB.P.,升金湖围垦区钻孔14C年龄介于6302~7049cal.aB.P.。结合该地区以往湖泊钻孔研究资料,发现全新世长江中下游两岸洼地湖泊存在较广泛的6~3ka的沉积间断。结合长江水位重建资料,笔者提出关于全新世湖泊沉积存有长期间断的新认识:即6~3ka,长江水位相对平稳,湖泊沉积物虽有堆积,但易于被侵蚀搬运造成沉积间断;与此对应的是,在约8~7ka,海面上升造成长江水位较快上升,由于顶托作用,湖泊沉积物持续堆积;在约3ka以来,由于人类活动的影响,以及长江水位的进一步上升,湖泊沉积物也易于堆积,但在一些湖区沉积物也会被侵蚀。在6~3ka之间湖泊沉积物易于被侵蚀的一个可能原因是该时段长江上游来沙来水减少,自然堤易被破坏,对两岸湖泊洼地的封堵作用减少,使得湖泊泥沙易被侵蚀入江。     

鄂尔多斯盆地定边-吴旗地区前侏罗纪古地貌与油藏

应用印模法恢复了鄂尔多斯盆地前侏罗纪古地貌形态。研究表明，区内古地貌格局由“三斜坡、三河谷、两河间丘和一梁”组成，即姬塬东斜坡、定边斜坡、靖边斜坡，宁陕河谷、蒙陕河谷、甘陕河谷，吴旗河间丘、金鼎河间丘和新安边梁。前侏罗纪古地貌控制着下侏罗统延安组早期沉积。延10段属河流相沉积环境，发育的沉积微相有主河道、支流河道、河漫滩、河漫沼泽。延9段沉积环境为三角洲到湖泊环境，沉积相主要由三角洲平原亚相、三角洲前缘亚相组成，沉积微相以分流河道、分流间洼地、水下分流河道和分流间湾为主。相同的古地貌单元、不同的沉积环境，必然造成储集砂体形态特征及分布规律的变化，进一步影响油藏的形成和分布。古地貌油藏的形成除受油源、圈闭等基本条件制约外，古地貌 沉积组合和油气运移通道也是形成不同类型古地貌油藏的重要条件。依据已探明油田的空间分布结合古地貌、上覆地层沉积环境、砂体展布、运移通道类型等多种因素归结出定边-吴旗地区古地貌油藏三种成藏模式，即斜坡区-三角洲平原组合成藏模式、河间丘区-三角洲前缘组合成藏模式和斜坡区-三角洲前缘组合成藏模式。     

北京城湖泊的成因

北京平原历史时期湖泊众多,第四系的地质结构决定了这些湖泊的分布规律和成因.北京城分布的湖泊主要受永定河冲洪积扇的三维结构控制.通过对北京城沉积物分布类型、结构与古今湖泊的展布特征的分析,发现北京城湖泊的分布具有明显的规律性.依据地质结构的差异,北京城存在一条清晰的地质界线,界线以西为富含地下水的单一砂砾石层,界线以东为含地下水较少的粘土、粉砂互层的阻水结构.该界线成为划分不同成因类型湖泊的界线.该界线以西分布的湖泊:昆明湖、福海、紫竹院湖、玉渊潭、莲花池等以泉水洼地成因为主;界线以东的湖泊:什刹海、北海等以古河道残留水体成因为主.研究表明:北京城湖泊的分布受地质结构的制约,具有一定的规律性,城市的规划建设应遵循自然规律.开展北京城湖泊的研究对城市发展,防灾减灾和合理利用水资源都有重要的意义.     

广东三水盆地第四纪网状河沉积特征

珠江三角洲西北部的三水盆地范围内发育典型的网状河体系。它们具有重复分叉合并、坡降低以及河道深且窄的特点，并且发育天然堤、河间湖泊和洼地等地貌单元。钻井资料显示，网状河的沉积记录以泛滥平原地区沉积的悬浮负载的细粒沉积物为主，由砂砾和砂组成的河道沉积物分布比较局限，呈较窄的带状，被包裹在细粒的泛滥平原积物之中。主干河道表现出较高侧向稳定性垂向继承性，形成了较厚的砂体。较小的分叉河道则容易发生决口改道，沉积了较薄的砂体。河间湖泊沉积主要为含植物碎片的灰黑色粉砂质淤泥，沼泽中植物遗体的堆积形成了泥炭层。晚更新世以来的构造沉降、全球海平面上升以及河流搬运物质的快速加积是珠江三角洲平原地区形成网状河体系的主要原因.

Terraces Development and Their Implications for Valley Evolution of the Jinsha River Since Late Pleistocene near Longjie,Yunnan

The drainage evolution and valley development of the Jinsha River is an important issue constantly concerned by researchers in geology and geomorphology. Despite hundreds of years of research, there is a big dispute on the formation time and the evolution process of the fluvial valley. Fluvial terraces are very important geomorphic markers for studying the formation and evolution of the fluvial valley. Through field investigation combined with Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dating, we confirmed that 5 fluvial terraces were formed, and then preserved, along the course of the Jinsha River near the Longjie, which are all strath terraces. Among them, T5 developed on the base rock, with an age of (78±12) ka; all T4~T1 developed on the lacustrine sediments, named Longjie Group by Chinese, with an age of (29±1.4) ka, (26±2.4) ka, (23±1.4) ka, (18±1.7) ka, respectively. Compared with the global and regional climate change history, the terraces are all the result of the river responding to the climate change. T5 formed at MIS 5/4, and T4~T1 formed at the period of regional climate fluctuation. The relationship of terraces and the Longjie Formation, combined with sedimentary characteristics analysis demonstrate that the Longjie Formation is landslide dammed lake sediment. The landslide and blocking events.seriously influenced the valley evolution, inhibiting the river incising, and making the valley evolution defer to the mode of “cut-landside-damming-fill-cut” in the period of Late Pleistocene. Synthesized studies of the terraces and the correlative sediments indicate that the formation of the Jinsha River valley may have begun in the late Early Pleistocene.

末次盛冰期以来长江河口段河道演变研究综述

末次盛冰期以来，由于海面发生大幅度的变化，长江河口段经历了深切古河谷形成—古河谷充填—三角洲发育的河床演变过程。海陆相互作用是河口段河道演变的主要影响因素。综合分析了对河口段河道研究的成果，着重对长江河口段古河谷的形成与充填、最大海侵以来的河床演变、古河谷的沉积层序与沉积相及研究的方法进行了综述。过去对古河谷宏观的趋势研究及单个钻孔的研究较多，宏观与微观结合的不够，专门研究古河谷河形的成果很少。今后应注重宏观与微观研究的结合；根据系列钻孔剖面，分析、恢复古河谷河型；根据河型、沉积物特征等，估算古长江流速、流量；加强高分辨率研究、定性与定量研究相结合，探讨环境变化与河道演变的关系和规律。     

Late Pleistocene-Holocene morphosedimentary architecture, Spiti River, arid higher Himalaya

The Spiti River drains the rain shadow zone of western Himalaya. In the present study, the fluvial sedimentary record of Spiti valley was studied to understand its responses to tectonics and climate. Geomorphic changes along the river enable to divide the river into two segments: (i) upper valley with a broad, braided channel where relict sedimentary sequences rise 15–50 m high from the riverbed and (ii) lower valley with a narrow, meandering channel that incises into bedrock, and here, the fluvio-lacustrine sediments reside on a bedrock bench located above the riverbed. The transition between these geomorphic segments lies along the river between Seko-Nasung and Lingti villages (within Tethyan Himalaya). Lithofacies analyses of the sedimentary sequences show six different lithofacies. These can be grouped into three facies associations, viz. (A) a glacial outwash; (B) sedimentation in a channel and in an accreting bar under braided conditions; and (C) formation of lake due to channel blockage by landslide activities. Seventeen optically stimulated luminescence ages derived from ten sections bracketed the phases of river valley aggradation between 14–8 and 50–30 ka. These aggradation phases witnessed mass wasting, channel damming and lake formation events. Our record, when compared with SW monsoon archives, suggests that the aggradation occurred during intensified monsoon phase of MIS 3/4 and that proceeded the Last Glacial Maxima. Thus, the study reports monsoon modulated valley aggradation in the NW arid Himalaya.     

Evolution of an Ancient Large Lake in the Southeast of the Northern Tibetan Plateau

Nam Co is the largest (1920 km2 in area) and highest (4718 m above sea level) lake in Tibet. According to the discovery of lake terraces and highstand lacustrine deposits at several places in Nam Co and its adjacent areas, the authors confirm the existence of an ancient large lake in the southeastern part of the northern Tibetan Plateau. On the basis of the U-series, 14C and ESR dating, coupled with the levelling survey of lake deposits and geomorphology, the evolutionary process of the ancient large lake in the southeastern part of the northern Tibetan Plateau may fall into three stages: (1) the ancient large lake stage at 115-40 ka BP, when the ancient lake level was 140-26 m above the level of present Nam Co; (2) the outflow lake stage at 40-30 ka BP, when the ancient level was 26-19 m above the present lake level; and (3) the Nam Co stage since 30 ka BP, when the ancient lake level was < 19 m above the present lake level. During the ancient large lake stage, a large number of modern large, medium-siz     

Sedimentary facies and geomorphic evolution of a blocked‐valley lake: Lake Futululu,northern Kwazulu‐Natal,South Africa

Blocked‐valley lakes are formed when tributaries are impounded by the relatively rapid aggradation of a large river and its floodplain. These features are common in the landscape, and have been identified in the floodplains of the Solimões‐Amazon (Brazil) and Fly‐Strickland Rivers (Papua New Guinea), for example, but their inaccessibility has resulted in studies being limited to remotely sensed image analysis. This paper documents the sedimentology and geomorphic evolution of a blocked‐valley lake, Lake Futululu on the Mfolozi River floodplain margin, in South Africa, while also offering a context for the formation of lakes and wetlands at tributary junctions. The study combines aerial photography, elevation data from orthophotographs and field survey, and longitudinal sedimentology determined from a series of cores, which were sub‐sampled for organic content and particle size analysis. Radiocarbon dating was used to gauge the rate and timing of peat accumulation. Results indicate that following the last glacial maximum, rising sea‐levels caused aggradation of the Mfolozi River floodplain. By 3980 years bp , aggradation on the floodplain had impounded the Futululu drainage line, creating conditions suitable for peat formation, which has since occurred at a constant average rate of 0·13 cm year^?1. Continued aggradation on the Mfolozi River floodplain has raised the base level of the Futululu drainage line, resulting in a series of back‐stepping sedimentary facies with fluvially derived sand and silt episodically prograding over lacustrine peat deposits. Blocked‐valley lakes form where the trunk river has a much larger sediment load and catchment than the tributary stream. Similarly, when the relative difference in sediment loads is less, palustrine wetlands, rather than lakes, may be the result. In contrast, where tributaries drain a steep, well‐connected catchment, they may impound much larger trunk rivers, creating lakes or wetlands upstream.     

西藏扎布耶盐湖30.0 ka B P以来水位与古降水量变化

扎布耶湖9级大型沙砾堤记录了约30．0ka B P以来水位退缩历史，与北部拉果错、南部塔若错的垭口沉积记录了3个湖泊最后分离的时间。本文应用数字地面高程模型(DEM)，计算了扎布耶各级沙堤对应湖面期的湖水面积、体积与含盐量；分析了扎布耶与拉果错、塔若错的分-合历程，计算了各时期汇流盆地总面积；参考湖泊、冰川、孢粉、天文学等多学科关于古温度、辐射平衡的结论，得出了较为可信的计算参数。在此基础上，应用根据西藏实际情况得出的辐射平衡和水面蒸发、陆面蒸发计算模型，代入封闭盆地水量平衡方程，得出了较Kutzbach水-能方程更可靠的降雨量-水域面积／流域面积比的非线性方程，计算出泛湖期(9级沙堤，40．0～28．0ka B P)该区降雨量567 mm／a，盛冰阶时降至350mm／a以下，冰期后增至402mm／a，随后逐步下降直至约Ⅰ-1级阶地时(海拔4421m，3．53ka B P)为280mm／a(约为现代的两倍)。通过定量恢复该区30．0ka B P以来降水量变化，为认识西藏高原湖泊演化和古环境、古季风演化提供了定量依据。
