甘肃白银厂-石青硐火山岩带是北祁连地区块状硫化物矿床成矿带的主要地段，在其中已发现6个工业矿床。典型矿床的综合信息找矿模型研究对于进一步开展矿体定位预测具有重要意义。文章将已发现的矿床划分为火山喷口Cu(Zn)型(折腰山型)、火山喷口斜坡Zn—Pb-Cu型(小铁山型)和火山沉积洼地Pb-Zn-Cu型(石青硐型)三(亚)类，并通过对典型矿床的地质特征、地球物理特征、地球化学特征及找矿标志等进行对比分析和研究，建立了折腰山型、石青硐型两类矿床的综合信息找矿模型。应用该模型在黑石山地区进行成矿预测，取得了良好的效果。

Glacial sediment causing regional-scale elevated arsenic in drinking water

In the upper Midwest, USA, elevated arsenic concentrations in public drinking water systems are associated with the lateral extent of northwest provenance late Wisconsin-aged drift. Twelve percent of public water systems located within the footprint of this drift (212 of 1764) exceed 10 microg/L arsenic, which is the U.S. EPA's drinking water standard. Outside of the footprint, only 2.4% of public water systems (52 of 2182) exceed 10 microg/L arsenic. Both glacial drift aquifers and shallow bedrock aquifers overlain by northwest provenance late Wisconsin-aged sediment are affected by arsenic contamination. Evidence suggests that the distinct physical characteristics of northwest provenance late Wisconsin-aged drift--its fine-grained matrix and entrained organic carbon that fosters biological activity--cause the geochemical conditions necessary to mobilize arsenic via reductive mechanisms such as reductive desorption and reductive dissolution of metal oxides. This study highlights an important and often unrecognized phenomenon: high-arsenic sediment is not necessary to cause arsenic-impacted ground water--when "impacted" is now defined as >10 microg/L. This analysis also demonstrates the scientific and economic value of using existing large but imperfect statewide data sets to observe and characterize regional-scale environmental problems.     

Changes in the marine environment of Port Kembla Harbour, NSW, Australia, 1975-1995: a review

Data on water quality, sediment quality and aquatic organisms in Port Kembla Harbour from the 1970s to the 1990s are reviewed. In the 1970s, the marine environment of Port Kembla Harbour was in poor condition as a result of pollution from heavy industries. Elevated concentrations of pollutants were found in water, sediment and fish in the harbour; aquatic biodiversity was limited and many fish kills were reported. With the implementation of pollution reduction programs (required by legislation changes) by the industries surrounding the harbour since the 1970s, pollution in the harbour has been reduced dramatically, and the quality of the marine environment of the harbour has noticeably improved. Large reductions in the concentrations of certain toxic wastes and heavy metals in water have occurred. Marine life has returned to the whole harbour (parts were described in 1977 as abiotic). Contaminants in fish have decreased. Despite this achievement, however, there is still considerable room for improvement in the quality of the marine environment of the harbour.     

Assessing herbicide concentrations in the saturated and unsaturated zone of a Chalk aquifer in southern England

The behavior of the herbicides isoproturon (IPU) and chlortoluron (CTU) in ground water and shallow unsaturated zone sediments were evaluated at a site situated on the Chalk in southern England. Concentrations of IPU in ground water samples varied from < 0.05 to 0.23 microgram/L over a five-year period of monitoring, and were found to correlate with application of the pesticide. Concentrations of pesticides in ground water samples collected during periods of rising water table were significantly higher than pumped samples and suggest that rapidly infiltrating recharge water contains higher herbicide concentrations than the native ground water. Significant variations in herbicide concentrations were observed over a three-month period in ground water samples collected by an automated system, with concentrations of IPU ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 microgram/L, and concentrations of a recent application of CTU ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 microgram/L. Different extraction methods were used to assess pore water concentrations of herbicides in the unsaturated zone, and samples were analyzed by standard HPLC analysis and immunoassay (ELISA) methods. These data indicated highly variable concentrations of herbicide ranging from 4 to 200 g/ha for HPLC and 0.01 to 0.04 g/ha for ELISA, but indicate a general pattern of decreasing concentrations with depth. The results of this study indicate that transport of IPU and CTU through the unsaturated zone to shallow ground water occurs and that this transport increases immediately following herbicide application. Measured concentrations of herbicides are generally lower than specified by the European Union Drinking Water Directive, but are observed to spike above this limit. These results imply that, while delivery of pesticides to ground water can occur as a result of normal agricultural practices, the impact on potable supplies is likely to be negligible due to the potential for degradation during the relatively long travel time through the unsaturated zone and high degree of dilution that occurs within the aquifer. As a result of the wide variation in concentrations detected by different techniques, it is suggested that for future site investigations more than one sampling strategy be employed to characterize the occurrence of pesticide residues and elucidate the transport mechanisms.     

Reconciling Spectroscopic Electron Temperature Measurements in the Solar Corona with In Situ Charge State Observations

We present new results on the recently discovered 69 ms X-ray pulsar AXS J161730-505505, the sixth youngest example of a rotation-powered pulsar. We have undertaken a comprehensive X-ray-observing campaign of AXS J161730-505505 with the ASCA, BeppoSAX, and RXTE observatories and follow its long-term spin-down history between 1989 and 1999 using these observations and archival Ginga and ASCA data sets. The spin-down is not simply described by a linear function as originally thought, but instead we find evidence of a giant glitch (DeltaP&solm0;P greater, similar10-6) between 1993 August and 1997 September, perhaps the largest yet observed from a young pulsar. The glitch is well described by steps in P and P&d2; accompanied by a persistent P&d3; similar to those seen in the Vela pulsar. The pulse profile of AXS J161730-505505 presents a single asymmetric peak that is maintained over all observation epochs. The energy spectrum is also steady over time, characterized by a highly absorbed power law with a photon index Gamma=1.4+/-0.2, consistent with that found for other young rotation powered pulsars.     

滇东南底圩金矿地质特征及找矿预测

底圩金矿是滇东南地区目前发现的少有的中大型金矿,矿石元素组合为砷金型,成因上属浅成（中）低温热液（超）微细浸染型金矿。从矿床地质特征出发,结合邻区资料探讨了矿床的控制因素：(1)底圩金矿与沿向北突出的文山-富宁弧形逆冲推覆构造带圈层状产出的多个金矿带应是统一的有机体,逆冲推覆构造是控制矿床成带产出的主要因素,较为完整的短轴破背斜是矿床定位的极好场所,破背斜轴部不同方向断裂交汇区、背斜转折端、倾伏端以及古喀斯特溶洞发育之处是极好的容矿空间; (2)节理、裂隙、孔隙发育的峨眉山玄武岩是最主要的赋矿岩石,主成矿期应为燕山晚期;(3)低温相对封闭、稳定的环境是形成（中）低温元素组合微细浸染金矿所必须的物理环境。矿区深边部及外围找矿预测应紧紧围绕底圩破背斜轴部不同方向断裂交汇区、背斜转折端、倾伏端以及古喀斯特溶洞发育地段开展工作,除考虑玄武岩赋金外,还应考虑P₂β与P₁m的下伏不整合面和上覆三叠系地层。并探讨了矿区深边部及外围找矿预测应注意的地质物化探标志问题。
