What is Franciscan?: revisited

The Franciscan Complex of California is better understood now than in 1972, when Berkland et al. defined it as a complex and divided it into three geographic belts. A re-evaluation is needed. Belts first served as major architectural units, but they have been abandoned by some and renamed as and subdivided into tectonostratigraphic terranes by others. The Franciscan Complex – considered to be the archetypical accretionary complex by many – is the folded, faulted, and stratally disrupted rock mass comprising the supramantle basement of the California-Southern Oregon Coast Ranges exposed east of the Salinian Block and west of and structurally below principal exposures of the Coast Range Fault, Coast Range Ophiolite, Great Valley Group, and Klamath Mountains. The Complex is dominated by sandstones and mudrocks, but contains mafic oceanic crustal fragments with chert, limestone, and other rock types, and zeolite, prehnite-pumpellyite, blueschist, and rare amphibolite and eclogite facies metamorphic rocks. Review of historical precedence, new data, available large-scale maps, and fundamental definitions suggest now (1) that the Belt terminology as applied to the entire Franciscan Complex conflicts with current knowledge of Franciscan rocks and architecture; and (2) that most named Franciscan terranes and nappes are inconsistent with basic definitions of those unit types. The major architectural units into which the Franciscan Complex can be divided are accretionary units – mélanges and underthrust sheets. Underthrust sheets can be subdivided into smaller units, e.g. broken formations and olistostromal mélanges, mappable using traditional lithostratigraphic and structural mapping techniques. Unresolved controversies in reconstruction of the nature and history of the accretionary complex relate to specific mélange origins; megathrust versus subduction channel mélange models; chert conundrums; delineation of the ages, subdivisions, and regional architecture of Franciscan units; palinspastic reconstruction of the pre-Late Cenozoic architecture; and reconstruction of the complete histories of accretionary units.     

南辽河群盖县组的重新厘定:来自辽南地区黄花甸-苏子沟一带变质砂岩碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学证据

传统认为辽河群顶部的盖县组广泛分布于辽南地区。本文对岫岩县黄花甸-苏子沟一带的南辽河群盖县组变质长石石英砂岩和变质石英砂岩进行了LA-ICP-MS碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学研究。其中变质长石石英砂岩中碎屑锆石普遍发育核-边结构,核部具有清晰的振荡环带;变质石英砂岩中碎屑锆石基本无核-边结构,具有清晰或者略模糊的振荡环带。锆石微量元素分析结果显示,具有振荡环带锆石微区具有轻稀土元素(LREE)亏损、重稀土元素(HREE)相对富集的配分曲线特征,Ce正异常和Eu负异常明显,Th/U和Zr/Hf比值较高,表明其岩浆成因。变质长石石英砂岩岩浆成因锆石微区~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb谐和年龄集中于2506～1748Ma之间,且呈现～2178Ma和～1863Ma两个年龄主峰,表明主要物质来源为同时期花岗质岩石(条痕状花岗岩和斑状花岗岩);变质石英砂岩岩浆成因锆石微区~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb谐和年龄集中于3546～1950Ma之间,呈现～2149Ma年龄主峰值,表明主要物质来源为条痕状花岗岩,另有少量太古宙基底物质的加入。研究区变质长石石英砂岩～1.86Ga的年龄峰值与辽河群其它变沉积岩明显不同,表明沉积时代一定晚于～1.86Ga,即形成于辽河群古元古代变质作用之后。综合研究区盖县组变质长石石英砂岩与辽河群其它变沉积岩碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄的差异,我们建议将盖县组部分变沉积岩从辽河群中解体出来。     

新疆坡北杂岩体西端镁铁-超镁铁质岩体成因的稀有气体同位素制约

新疆坡北镁铁-超镁铁质杂岩体由一个辉长岩体以及二十多个超镁铁质侵入体组成,其中坡一超镁铁质岩体稀有气体同位素组成揭示存在地幔柱的贡献。坡北杂岩体西端的坡一、坡四、坡十和坡十四等几个超镁铁质岩体的稀有气体同位素对比分析结果表明,岩浆矿物的³He/⁴He值（0.26~2.79Ra）分布于地壳与地幔值之间,较高的²⁰Ne/²²Ne和较低的²¹Ne/²²Ne值分布于Ne质量分馏线（MFL）和L-K线之间,⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar=295~598。³He/⁴He与⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar比值揭示坡北杂岩体西端不同超镁铁质岩体形成过程中地幔（柱）、地壳和大气组分的贡献不同,岩体成因也可能不同。其中,坡一岩体具有地幔柱作用的贡献,其他三个岩体的岩石圈地幔及地壳流体组分的贡献较大。岩浆地幔源区由深部地幔柱物质叠加俯冲流体交代的岩石圈地幔物质所组成,大气与地壳物质组分可能由俯冲再循环洋壳带入到岩浆地幔源区以及围岩物质的混入。     

中天山阿拉塔格环状杂岩体中闪长质包体地球化学与岩浆混合作用

环状杂岩体的岩相分带有多种成因模式。为了查明新疆阿拉塔格环状岩体的成因,本文特就其中暗色包体的成因及其岩浆演化进行探讨。包体分布极不均匀,在酸性岩单元的东南角集中发育,大部分呈浑圆状或次圆状,微细粒结构,部分包体中含有寄主岩石中的长石斑晶。通过对暗色包体主量、微量元素、Sr-Nd同位素及单颗粒锆石U-Pb年龄测试,认为该环状岩体中的暗色包体主要为闪长质-花岗闪长质岩浆包体,包体SiO_2(56.72%~61.80%)低,K_2O+Na_2O(8.12%~10.55%)高,具有高钾富碱的特征,属于高钾钙碱性岩石系列;里特曼指数(σ)为4.59~4.85,稀土元素富集。包体及寄主岩的主量和微量元素协变图呈不同程度的线性关系,而且两者稀土、微量元素曲线形态相近,显示出包体和寄主岩在地球化学特征上既有相似性,又有不同的特点。这种特征表明,环状花岗岩岩浆的形成至少与两种岩桨的混合有关。包体的(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)t较低(0.705204~0.705914)、ε_(Nd)(t)=1.65~2.57,全部为正值,揭示包体的原始岩浆为幔源玄武质岩浆。包体和寄主岩石的关系显示岩浆的混合方式为基性岩浆注入到已经开始结晶的酸性岩浆。本研究为环状杂岩体的多种成因过程提供了重要依据,认为其中的环状花岗岩单元为壳源酸性岩浆与幔源基性岩浆混合作用的产物。包体和寄主岩石的特征均反映在晚古生代中天山造山带发生过一定程度的后碰撞地壳垂向生长。     

Dual-tree complex wavelet transform-based image enhancement for accurate long-term change assessment in coal mining areas

The main objective of this study was to improve the long-term land use change detection by improving classification accuracy of previous generation satellite image using a recent super-resolution technique. The study also analysed the change in land cover over a period of 41 years in a coal mining area. A dual-tree complex wavelet transform-based image super-resolution technique was used to enhance Landsat images of 1975 and 2016. Separating pixels with similar spectral response is an enigmatical task, especially when those pixel represent different ground features. Therefore, an advanced neural net supervised classifier was used to minimize classification errors. Accuracy of the classified images (both super-resolved and original) were measured using confusion matrices and kappa coefficients. A significant improvement of more than 10% was observed in the overall classification accuracy for the image of 1975, highlighting that the classification accuracy of earlier generation satellite data can be improved substantially.     

Technological monitoring of subgrade construction on high-temperature permafrost

Three stages of complex technological monitoring for the increase of high-temperature-permafrost soil bearing capacity are described. The feasibility of process monitoring to improve the targeted strength properties of subgrade bases on frozen soils is demonstrated. The rationale for the necessity of predictive modeling of freeze-thaw actions during the subgrade construction period is provided.     

锡田印支-燕山期复式花岗质岩浆-热液活动时限和物质来源

锡田钨锡多金属矿田位于湘赣两省交界,南岭成矿带的北部。锡田花岗岩体是一个复式岩体。本文利用LA-MC-ICP MS技术对8个样品的锆石进行了原位微区U-Pb定年和Lu-Hf同位素测试,结果显示其中有4个为印支期(226~225Ma)、另外4个为燕山期(166~158Ma)。印支期花岗岩锆石的εHf(t)值为-4.6~-10.8,两阶段模式年龄TDM2值为2011~1534Ma,根据是否呈正态分布可分为7组;燕山期花岗岩锆石的εHf(t)值为-4.3~-10,TDM2值为1896~1429Ma,可分为5组。相似的Hf同位素组成表明两期花岗岩具有同源性,均源自古元古代晚期至中元古代早期地壳物质的部分熔融。而εHf(t)值变化范围较大且分成很多组可能更主要受控于源区Hf同位素的不均一性。此外,本文利用40 Ar-39 Ar定年方法测得花岗岩顶部石英脉和云英岩中4个白(金)云母的年龄为150~148Ma,这期与成矿有关的热液作用应该与最晚一期岩浆活动有关。通过本次获得的定年数据和对已有的成岩成矿定年数据的总结,本文认为锡田岩体可以分为三个期次,印支期(226~225Ma),燕山期第一阶段(166~158Ma)和燕山期第二阶段(151~141Ma)。     

中国碱性杂岩的成因及其成矿作用

本文从碱性杂岩的产出和分布、地质特征、地球化学特征、成因、成矿作用几个方面综述了近年来对于我国碱性杂岩的研究成果与进展:(1)岩石学和同位素特征表明,硅不饱和的碱性杂岩类多属地幔低度部分熔融的原始岩浆为主侵位的产物;而硅饱和或过饱和碱性杂岩类多属深源岩浆与陆壳混染的产物。(2)地幔源区的低度部分熔融导致了稀土元素和大离子亲石元素等不相容元素的富集,同时富集的挥发份构成了矿化剂,对成矿具有重要控制作用。(3)深大断裂控制着碱性杂岩的产出,同时伴随着地质历史时期的重要地质事件,中国受深大断裂控制的碱性杂岩带主要有郯城-庐江碱性杂岩带、攀西碱性杂岩带和哀牢山-金沙江碱性杂岩带等9条。     

分层多指数磁共振弛豫信号反演方法研究

磁共振测深技术传统反演方法包括平滑反演和分块反演,通过分别获取初始振幅和平均弛豫时间构建地层含水量及有效孔隙度.然而,这些方法局限于单指数拟合方式,损失了大部分有效采集信息,受限于多孔地质环境解释,并在某些情况下无法刻画含水层清晰分界面.针对上述问题,本文建立了基于MRS全数据的多指数反演方法,依据全部采集时间下的有效信息,通过弛豫时间e指数分解,推导出新的磁共振正演核函数,结合泛函极小值方程,直接反演建立含水量,弛豫时间及地层深度三个重要参数关系,适用于复杂地质环境解释.为得到快速稳定的反演结果和更清晰的含水层分界面,本文借鉴分块反演思想,进一步构建了新的反演目标函数,利用基于不等式约束的空间信赖域算法进行优化,最终实现了一种基于分层反演与多指数结合的磁共振弛豫信号反演方法.模型数据以及实测算例表明该方法的效果和优势,并具备较高的计算效率,本研究为地面磁共振反演提供了一种新的思路与方法.     

CONTRIBUTION TO THE TRACER KINETICS THEORY

Abstract

This paper presents a new integrated GIS modelling methodology for assessing groundwater contamination risk. Analytical and numerical tools within a GIS framework were used to define the raster maps of various factors interfering along the contaminant pathway from source to groundwater. In the proposed methodology, these factors were introduced into a unified GIS model for groundwater risk assessment that incorporates all the necessary information to improve the accuracy of the results. Fifteen factors were considered in order to estimate the spatial distribution of the groundwater contamination risk areas. Some of these factors, such as artificial drainage and seepage velocity, had not been used previously in GIS groundwater risk mapping. The study area, the island of Crete in Greece, was divided into five regions characterized by different degrees of groundwater risk ranging from very low to very high. A sensitivity analysis was performed and the developed methodology was validated for different contaminants that were detected in groundwater of the island of Crete.
