白令海北部陆坡全新世以来的生物标志物记录及其古环境意义

通过白令海北部陆坡区B2-9站位沉积物柱样高分辨率的生物标志物(菜子甾醇、甲藻甾醇、长链烯酮、n-C30-diol)提取和分析,获得了近1万年来浮游植物群落和初级生产力、高碳烷烃输入与陆源植被变化等相关记录,研究结果显示,全新世以来表层浮游植物和初级生产力都经历了"高-低-高"的变化过程,并具有明显的阶段性,可能受控于陆架坡折处海冰的分布、上层海洋营养盐供应和全新世气候与环境的变迁;浮游植物群落结构较为稳定,硅藻是初级生产力的主要贡献者,甲藻次之,颗石藻和黄绿藻比前两者低了1个数量级,硅藻与甲藻之间具有明显的竞争关系,前者明显占据优势,是白令海有机碳汇的主要贡献者;正构烷烃总量分别在7.8 ka BP,6.7 ka BP和5.4 ka BP,经历了3次阶梯状的下降过程,并呈现出4个相对稳定的阶段,其主要受控于早全新世海平面上升以及周边陆地植被源区的气候与环境变化;正构烷烃分子组合特征显示其来自陆地高等植物、且陆源植被结构较为稳定,木本植物占据优势;单体碳同位素研究表明正构烷烃的主碳峰为n-C27,对烷烃总量的贡献最大,可能与当时陆源繁盛的木本植物及输入有关,含量较高的n-C23则可能主要来源于北半球沿海广泛分布的一类沉水植物。

大同火山活动在区域沉积中的记录和阶段性历史研究

大同火山活动的阶段性历史是一个尚未被揭示清楚的地学问题。野外实地考察及室内磁化率、化学成分、粒度和古地磁的测定结果显示：古湖滨处水平层理发育的火山碎屑层存在4个不同倾角的倾斜;古湖近岸处的湖相沉积层中含有4层火山碎屑层;古湖深处的湖相沉积层中出现4个磁化率显著正异常的层位,且这些层位粒度都较粗;古湖岸上的黄土沉积中出现3个磁化率为峰值、Rb/Sr比值为谷值的层位;古湖深处湖相沉积剖面中存在B/M和Jaramillo磁极性界限。据此进一步分析后认为：① 湖相沉积剖面中的磁化率显著正异常层位、黄土沉积中的高磁化率—低Rb/Sr比值层位可能是混入了大量火山灰物质;它们是区域火山活跃期的记录。② 系列沉积剖面特征指示区域火山活动曾经历4个活跃期,每个活跃期期间有多次密集的火山喷发。③ 4个活跃期的年代大约为早于0.90 Ma BP（第一活跃期）、~0.47 Ma BP（第二活跃期）、~0.31 Ma BP（第三活跃期）和~0.09 Ma BP（第四活跃期）;黄土沉积中还记录了区域北部有一个发生于~0.19 Ma BP的活跃期。此外,区域湖相沉积中所记录的4个火山活跃期都出现在湖退时期,平静期出现在湖侵时期。

新疆孔雀河北岸中更新世湖相沉积物年代学及沉积速率特征

选择位于新疆孔雀河北岸的LX01湖相沉积剖面作为研究对象,根据14个ESR年代结果,建立了塔里木盆地东部中更新世湖泊沉积地层的年代序列。此外,采用ESR测年法得到了剖面的沉积速率,在727～93 ka BP期间,研究区域平均沉积速率介于0.429～3.895 cm·ka^-1,表现为沉积速率不稳定,发生了较大变化,不但有长期缓慢的变化,还有短期的急剧变化,总体呈现波动特征。具体表现为：727～278 ka BP期间,波动幅度逐渐增大;278～93 ka BP期间,沉积速率阶段性降低。在此基础上,通过对比分析罗布泊地区中更新统沉积速率和罗布泊及周边区域中更新世期间的气候变化,发现位于孔雀河北岸LX01剖面沉积物的沉积速率可在一定程度上揭示罗布泊地区中更新世期间的古气候变化特征,表现为：沉积速率速率高的278～200 ka BP、306～325 ka BP、389～410 ka BP、530～568 ka BP、638～679 ka BP为温暖湿润气候;沉积速率低的93～200 ka BP、278～306 ka BP、325～389 ka BP、410～530 ka BP、568～638 ka BP、679～727 ka BP为冷干气候。该研究为中更新世地层沉积速率的空间分布特征和古气候变化研究提供科学依据。     

白令海CO_2源汇与控制因素研究进展

白令海是北冰洋太平洋扇区的边缘海,是亚北极生态系统向北极生态系统过渡的典型区域,白令海CO_2源汇的研究可为高纬度边缘海相关的研究提供重要的参考。在全球持续变暖的背景下,白令海正在发生着一些气候和环境的变化,这些变化对CO_2源汇以及控制CO_2源汇的生物地球化学过程产生重要影响。对目前白令海CO_2源汇特征及其控制因素相关研究进行了归纳总结,预测了白令海CO_2源汇的未来变化趋势并提出了展望。以往的研究都认为白令海是一个大气CO_2的汇区,但是碳汇研究结果差异较大,最近的研究结果表明白令陆架区的碳汇约–6.81 Tg C·a~(–1)(1 Tg=10~(12)g),整个白令海的碳汇约–34 Tg C·a~(–1)。在未来白令海气候和环境变化继续加剧的条件下,使得白令海碳汇增强或减弱的因素将同时存在,因此,未来白令海的碳汇是增强还是减弱尚无定论。

白令海和楚科奇海陆架区的生源物质埋藏通量研究

楚科奇海和白令海通过白令海峡相连,是气候变化研究的关键区域。利用210Pb过剩法开展两个海域沉积过程和生源物质的埋藏通量研究。研究发现,白令海陆架区沉积柱样(NB22)受到生物扰动影响,楚科奇海沉积物柱样(R17)所受生物扰动很小。通过建立模型,获得楚科奇海陆架区的沉积速率为0.6±0.1 mm·a~(-1),白令海陆架区的沉积速率为2.1±0.7 mm·a~(-1)。忽略沉积过程,白令海陆架区由生物扰动引起的混合因子为1.38±0.92 cm2·a~(-1);考虑沉积过程,则混合因子为0.65±0.95 cm2·a~(-1)。白令海的有机碳、生源硅、Ca CO3的埋藏通量分别为:6.85 mmol C·m-2·d-1、37.7 mmol Si·m-2·d-1、3.15 mmol C·m-2·d-1;楚科奇海的有机碳、生源硅、Ca CO3的埋藏通量分别为:5.71 mmol C·m-2·d-1、9.78 mmol Si·m-2·d-1、3.08 mmol C·m-2·d-1。楚科奇海陆架区具有高效的垂直输运的海洋生物泵,白令海陆架区海洋生物泵可能存在较强的水平输运过程。海洋沉积物中210Pb信号不仅可以定量沉积速率和埋藏通量,也在一定程度上反映海洋底栖生物的扰动强度。     

Late Pliocene–early Pleistocene deep‐sea basin sedimentation at high‐latitudes: mega‐scale submarine slides of the north‐western Barents Sea margin prior to the shelf‐edge glaciations

At high‐latitude continental margins, large‐scale submarine sliding has been an important process for deep‐sea sediment transfer during glacial and interglacial periods. Little is, however, known about the importance of this process prior to the arrival of the ice sheet on the continental shelf. Based on new two‐dimensional seismic data from the NW Barents Sea continental margin, this study documents the presence of thick and regionally extensive submarine slides formed between 2.7 and 2.1 Ma, before shelf‐edge glaciation. The largest submarine slide, located in the northern part of the Storfjorden Trough Mouth Fan (TMF), left a scar and is characterized by an at least 870‐m‐thick interval of chaotic to reflection‐free seismic facies interpreted as debrites. The full extent of this slide debrite 1 is yet unknown but it has a mapped areal distribution of at least 10.7 × 10³ km² and it involved >4.1 × 10³ km³ of sediments. It remobilized a larger sediment volume than one of the largest exposed submarine slides in the world – the Storegga Slide in the Norwegian Sea. In the southern part of the Storfjorden TMF and along the Kveithola TMF, the seismic data reveal at least four large‐scale slide debrites, characterized by seismic facies similar to the slide debrite 1. Each of them is ca. 295‐m thick, covers an area of at least 7.04 × 10³ km² and involved 1.1 × 10³ km³ of sediments. These five submarine slide debrites represent approximately one quarter of the total volume of sediments deposited during the time 2.7–1.5 Ma along the NW Barents Sea. The preconditioning factors for submarine sliding in this area probably included deposition at high sedimentation rate, some of which may have occurred in periods of low eustatic sea‐level. Intervals of weak contouritic sediments might also have contributed to the instability of part of the slope succession as these deposits are known from other parts of the Norwegian margin and elsewhere to have the potential to act as weak layers. Triggering was probably caused by seismicity associated with the nearby and active Knipovich spreading ridge and/or the old tectonic lineaments within the Spitsbergen Shear Zone. This seismicity is inferred to be the main influence of the large‐scale sliding in this area as this and previous studies have documented that sliding have occurred independently of climatic variations, i.e. both before and during the period of ice sheets repeatedly covering the continental shelf.

Three-dimensional geological environment simulation of submarine exhalative sediments

On the basis of the major metal grades from the super-large Bainiuchang Ag-rich polymetallic ore deposit, enrichment evolution processes were divided into three populations by using a new multiple time-series model. Population 1 shows the highest temporal/spatial autocorrelation with the ore-forming processes. Population 3 is considered to be a white noise process. The lithologies of populations 1 and 2 are closely related to submarine exhalative hydrothermal sedimentation. By using a semi-Markov process and a dynamic lithologic ratio parameter model, the paleogeographic environment of the bathyal basin in which the Bainiuchang Agrich polymetallic ore deposit formed was simulated. The result of the simulation suggests that four major submarine exhalation cycles occurred during basin evolution. Hydrothermal sedimentary metallization took place in the middle stage of each cycle. Hydrothermal sedimentation in each of the four cycles suggests an evolution from weak to strong to stronger to weak. Debris and turbidity currents related to syndepositional faulting along the northwestern margin of the basin and submarine hydrothermal exhalation originated from vents and flowed from northwest to southeast. A three-dimensional, finite-element method was used to simulate quantitatively the dynamic evolution of the temperature field of heat fluid circulation. A model is proposed that allows for the submarine heat fluid circulation from seawater that percolates downward, the upflow along a syndepositional falut to exhalation on the seafloor, and the formation of lenticular ore bodies in a single tectonic pulse. Comparison of the simulated temperature field and the mixing population of thermometric data of fluid inclusions suggests that the major submarine exhalation took about 35,000 years and that after 15,000 years from the initial establishment of the temperature field, the temperature of heat fluid circulation at the vents reached a maximum of 280°C.     

Jurassic synorogenic basin filling in western Korea: sedimentary response to inception of the western Circum-Pacific orogeny

This is the first sedimentologic and stratigraphic attempt to demonstrate Jurassic subduction-induced basin-filling processes in the early stage of the western Circum-Pacific orogeny. The Chungnam Basin in western Korea was filled with a Lower to Middle Jurassic nonmarine succession, the Nampo Group, whose deposition postdated the Triassic final assembly of Chinese continental blocks. The Nampo Group consists of two repeated, fining- to coarsening-upward alluvio-lacustrine sequences, separated by an interval of thick breccia–gravel progradation deposits and its related strong proximal unconformities. No temporal variation in the degree of chemical weathering, along with the predominance of coals and a tropic to subtropic paleoflora, reveals little or no climate fluctuations during deposition of the Nampo Group. The observed relationships provide a record of sedimentation most likely controlled by temporal variations of tectonically driven sediment flux. Such syntectonic sedimentation of the Chungnam Basin occurred at a convergent margin of continental-arc setting during the Daebo orogeny, synchronous with the early subduction of the western paleo-Pacific ocean that resulted in formation of an accretionary complex along the East Asian continental margin during Jurassic time. Hence, synorogenic deposition in the Chungnam Basin is interpreted as sedimentary response to subduction–accretion of the western paleo-Pacific plate.     

Dynamic modelling of passive margin salt tectonics: effects of water loading, sediment properties and sedimentation patterns

We investigate the evolution of passive continental margin sedimentary basins that contain salt through two‐dimensional (2D) analytical failure analysis and plane‐strain finite‐element modelling. We expand an earlier analytical failure analysis of a sedimentary basin/salt system at a passive continental margin to include the effects of submarine water loading and pore fluid pressure. Seaward thinning sediments above a weak salt layer produce a pressure gradient that induces Poiseuille flow in the viscous salt. We determine the circumstances under which failure at the head and toe of the frictional–plastic sediment wedge occurs, resulting in translation of the wedge, landward extension and seaward contraction, accompanied by Couette flow in the underlying salt. The effects of water: (i) increase solid and fluid pressures in the sediments; (ii) reduce the head to toe differential pressure in the salt and (iii) act as a buttress to oppose failure and translation of the sediment wedge. The magnitude of the translation velocity upon failure is reduced by the effects of water. The subsequent deformation is investigated using a 2D finite‐element model that includes the effects of the submarine setting and hydrostatic pore pressures. The model quantitatively simulates a 2D approximation of the evolution of natural sedimentary basins on continental margins that are formed above salt. Sediment progradation above a viscous salt layer results in formation of landward extensional basins and listric normal growth faults as well as seaward contraction. At a later stage, an allochthonous salt nappe overthrusts the autochthonous limit of the salt. The nature and distribution of major structures depends on the sediment properties and the sedimentation pattern. Strain weakening of sediment favours landward listric growth faults with formation of asymmetric extensional depocentres. Episodes of low sediment influx, with partial infill of depocentres, produce local pressure gradients in the salt that result in diapirism. Diapirs grow passively during sediment aggradation.     

对珠江三角洲第四纪断裂运动的再认识
