Chemical U-Th-Pb Monazite Dating of Deformations versus Pluton Emplacement and the Proterozoic History of the Arkansas River Region,Colorado,USA

Abstract: Five lengthy periods involving multiple phases of cordierite and andalusite growth were revealed by detailed studies of foliation inflection/intersection axes (FIA) preserved in porphyroblasts in schists from the Arkansas River region in Colorado, USA. The regionally consistent character of the succession of five different FIA trends enabled the relative timing of each FIA with respect to the next to be determined. The FIA succession from first to last is: FIA 1 trending W-E, FIA 2 trending SSW-NNE, FIA 3 trending NNW-SSE, FIA 4 trending NW-SE and FIA 5 trending SW-NE. For four of the FIA sets, samples were found containing monazite grains preserved as inclusions. These were dated on an electron microprobe. The ages obtained concur exactly with the FIA succession, with FIA 1 at 1506±15 Ma, FIA 2 at 1467±23 Ma, FIA 3 at 1425±18 Ma, FIA 4 not dated and FIA 5 at 1366±20 Ma. These ages are directly reflected in a succession of plutons in the surrounding region dated by other isotopic approaches, suggesting that deformation, metamorphism and pluton emplacement occurred together episodically, but effectively continuously, for some 140 Ma.     

长白山地区全新世泥炭剖面地球化学特征及其古环境意义

长白山地区是中国泥炭分布集中地区之一。本文选择长白山地区典型的泥炭剖面--大桥剖面,探讨其沉积物常量元素和微量元素的垂直分布规律及其对全新世气候变化的指示作用,并与该区另一代表剖面--金川泥炭剖面进行对比。结果表明,泥炭中常量元素含量最大值出现在195 cm,向上、向下都减少,铁含量与灰分、容重在剖面上的变化规律基本一致,说明它主要来源于灰分;由于泥炭和砂土的基本性质,如容重、灰分、pH值有很大的区别,泥炭层微量元素大于下部砂土的含量,亚表层微量元素含量最高,这与灰分、纤维含量正好相反,与pH值剖面变化一致;沉积物容重、灰分、pH值、Ca/ Mg以及元素的富集因子、泥炭中总碳含量在剖面上的变化,显示很强的一致性,据此反映该区经历了早11880～7600aBP)、中(7 600～480aBP)、晚(2480～0aBP)全新世三个环境阶段,其结论与前人通过孢粉、同位素手段分析得到的金川泥炭剖面环境变迁规律相同,从而说明它们可以作为研究环境变迁的敏感指标。     

Early diagenetic deformation structures of the Furongian ribbon rocks in Shandong Province of China——A new perspective of the genesis of limestone conglomerates

Ribbon rocks are characterized by an alternation of millimeter-to centimeter-thick limestone and argillaceous deposits (marlstone or shale).The sedimentary processes and diagenetic characteristics of ribbon rocks might be critical to the formation of limestone conglomerates.According to detailed field measurement and laboratory analyses (thin section observation and XRD analysis),four types of ribbon rocks are classified,i.e.,limestone and marlstone couplet (L-M),limestone and shale couplet (L-S),thin-bedde...     

Sedimentary geochemistry and provenance of the Lower and Middle Devonian Laojunshan Formation,the North Qilian Orogenic Belt

The Laojunshan Formation is a suite of molasse formed during the rapid uplift of the North Qilian Orogenic Belt (NQOB). Forty-one samples of sandstone have been collected from the Sunan and Minle sections in the western sector and the Gulang and Jingyuan sections in the eastern sector of the NQOB belt. Geochemical analyses of those samples indicated: 1) The MgO+Fe2O3T and Al2O3/SiO2 values are higher, and K2O/Na2O ratios are lower in the western sector than those in the eastern sector. 2) All of them are de...     

地球内部水与无机成烃

地球内部水是广泛存在的,由于高温高压作用使其具有独特的物理和化学性质,它对于烃类物质生成和运移都具有重要的意义。在地球内部,水与无机矿物作用产生H2或者O2,对C-O-H流体平衡存在影响,这是烃类物质形成和稳定的重要因素。地球内部高温高压水热流体一方面为有机反应提供高效的介质,另一方面它直接作为反应物与碳酸盐和金属碳化物反应生成烃类物质。对于地球早期有机物形成和水热条件下有机物的主要合成反应——费托反应,其重要的成烃物质H2主要由水与矿物作用产生,这是目前较为认同的地球内部无机成烃的重要方式。     

Quantitative Analysis of Groundwater Flow near a Partially Penetrating River under Riverside Pumping

According to practical geological and hydrogeological conditions of riverside water-supply well fields in northwestern China, an ideal hydrogeological model has been generalized and a three-dimensional mathematical model has been set up. A finite difference method was applied to simulating groundwater flow near a partially penetrating river under riverside pumping, and to analyzing the effects of river width, partial penetration and permeability of riverbed sediments on groundwater recharges. Results show that riverside pumping may cause groundwater to flow beneath the partially penetrating river, and that river width, penetration and riverbed permeability obviously influence flows from the partially penetrating river and constant-head boundaries. However, the pumping output is mainly from the partially penetrating river.     

Degradation Kinetics of Petroleum Contaminants in Soil-Water Systems

On the basis of site investigation and sample collection of petroleum contaminants in the soil-water-crop system in the Shenyang-Fushun sewage irrigation area, the physical-chemical-biological compositions of the unsaturated zone is analyzed systematically in this paper. At the same time, the degradation kinetics of residual and aqueous oils is determined through biodegradation tests. The studies show that dominant microorganisms have been formed in the soils after long-term sewage irrigation. The microorganisms mainly include bacteria, and a few of fungus and actinomycetes. After a 110-days' biodegradation test, the degradation rate of residual oil is 9.74%-10.63%, while the degradation rate of aqueous oil reaches 62.43%. This indicates that the degradation rate of low-carbon aqueous oil     

Groundwater Systems and Eco-hydrological Features in the Main Karst Regions of China

1 Introduction Karst topography is widespread in China (Lu et al., 1973; Lu, 1986a), but its basic features are quite different in the main karstified areas in southern and northern China (Lu, 1999, 2003). The karst development appears to differ not only in the karst geomorphological types but also in the forms of the different karst water systems. The eco-hydrological features have obviously been influenced by human activities. The eco-hydrogeology is thus of great importance to study. Th…     

京津冀德平原区深层水开采与地面沉降关系空间分析

京津冀德地区是我国重要城市集中区和农业生产基地,由于深层地下水的过量开发利用,产生了严重地面沉降问题。部分学者认为,深层地下水累计开采量基本上相当于地面沉降累计量,认为京津冀德平原区深层水属于储存资源,基本得不到补给和更新。本文利用GIS空间分析方法,对开发利用深层地下水的京津冀德平原区大约八万平方千米范围,进行了累计地面沉降体积分布、深层水水位变差分布的空间分析,结合对深层地下水开采量的研究,初步探讨了深层水开采利用与地面沉降宏观关系的定量特征,结论是多年平均深层水开采量为25×108~27×108m3,多年平均地面沉降体积量为11.2×108m3,年均地面沉降体积大约相当于41%~44%的年均深层水开采量体积,还有56%~59%的深层水开采未导致直接的地面沉降响应,说明在高强度开采激励条件下深层水的动力场可能已经发生巨大变化,对深层水开采引起地面沉降的关系、深层水的组成与循环更新机制应进一步研究。
