Land use and the spatial distribution of perfluoroalkyl compounds as measured in the plasma of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

The distribution of perfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) in the environment is well documented with higher concentrations observed in wildlife located in industrial and urban areas. This study examined the distribution of PFCs in relation to land use using blood samples collected from bottlenose dolphins during capture-release health assessment surveys conducted in Charleston, SC. The study area was partitioned into three subareas (ACW, CHS, and SRE) based upon habitat and land use characteristics. The ACW and CHS subareas are characterized by high degrees of industrial and urban land uses, while the SRE subarea is more residential and characterized by a lower degree of developed land use. Long-term monitoring data from photo-identification surveys were used to group bottlenose dolphins based on their proportions of sightings in the different subareas. Dolphins affiliated with both the ACW and CHS subareas were observed to have significantly higher mean plasma concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) and perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUnA) than those affiliated with the SRE subarea. Dolphins affiliated with the ACW subarea were found to have a significantly higher mean plasma concentration of PFUnA than those affiliated with the CHS subarea. Further examination of the distribution of the PFCs revealed positive correlations with developed land uses and negative correlations with wetland/marsh land cover. A positive correlation was also observed between PFUnA and agricultural land use. The variability and scale of the observed contaminant burdens have important implications for the conservation and management of living marine resources and illustrates the importance of long-term monitoring of free-ranging wildlife species.     

雪峰金矿田矿床地质特征及成矿模式

雪峰金矿田位于扬子准地台与华南加里东褶皱带两大地构造单元过渡地带的巨型雪峰弧形推覆剪切金锑钨成矿带中段西部，被两条深大断裂及三大岩体所夹持，具有地层-构造-岩浆岩三位一体的极好成矿条件。区内地壳运动频繁，赋矿地层发育，地质构造复杂，岩浆活动强烈，金矿床点星罗棋布，由金矿化和围岩蚀变引起的物化探异常面积大、强度高、浓集中心明显，遥感地质环形构造及线性构造十分发育。矿体赋存于震旦系长滩组和前震旦系芙蓉溪群陆源碎屑及火山碎屑沉积浅变质岩的北东、北西向韧性、张扭性含金剪切断裂蚀变带及砂岩层中垂直层理的张扭性裂隙、顺层节理、片理和板岩层间剥离带、层间断层和层内裂隙中。矿床具成矿物质多来源，成矿过程多期、多阶段、多成因和多次叠加与再造成矿特点，形成韧性含金剪切带型、砂岩细脉浸染型和石英脉型复成金矿床。矿田中大型矿床1处，中、小型矿床多处，初步查明金金属量D＋E＋333近100t。研究认为矿田找矿潜力巨大，是个不可多得的超大型金矿成矿区。     

澳大利亚北波拿巴盆地北部侏罗纪古地貌特征与演化

通过侏罗纪3个阶段的古地貌和区域古地貌演化的分析，进一步展示了构造活动对古地理的控制作用。认为古地貌形态特征、上覆沉积环境、油气运移通道、砂体展布特征等都是油气藏不可缺少的控制因素。该区域内侏罗系河道砂体、三角洲砂体是与古地貌有关的圈闭可能分布的地区。总结出侏罗纪沉积前后古地貌恢复工作及探讨古地貌对后期油气藏关系对于寻找侏罗系油田具有重要的指导意义。     

Land Utilization in Chengtu Plain, Szechwan

In the north-western part of Szechwan Basin is the famous Chengtu Plain,with an area of 8,000 sq. km. and at 500-700 m. above the sea level. It is a huge alluvial plain formed by cohesion of many alluvial fans, among which the Minking fan is the largest, constituting 2/3 of the area of Chengtu Plain.     

南海北部陆坡的地貌形态及其控制因素

利用精细地貌图、高分辨率多道地震剖面等资料研究南海北部大陆边缘深水陆坡的地貌形态及控制因素。莺琼陆坡具有不同于其他部分的特殊性,红河物源是造成它的地貌形态的主控因素,南海北部陆坡的其他部分的地貌形态依然受控于古新世—渐新世的断陷期所形成的凹凸格局,其空间分布状况决定了陆坡地貌的形态和演变;物源类型和供给数量是陆坡地貌形态的次级因素,决定着陆坡地貌在总体框架下的局部特征,地震和海流等外动力因素则在一定程度上决定了陆坡沉积类型和微地貌形态。南海北部的这种特点与大西洋两岸的大部地区有显著区别,后者在晚侏罗—早第三纪的断陷期所形成的构造格局对陆坡地貌的影响已次于物源状况和向深水的物质分散体系。南海北部陆坡可自西而东依次划分为五段:莺琼陆坡段、神狐陆坡段、珠江海谷段陆坡、东沙陆坡段和台湾浅滩陆坡段;各陆坡段的地貌形态和走向上的差异全面反映了以上三个因素,尤其反映了断陷期构造格局分布状况的效应。
