本文论述了长江中下游地区金属矿床的地质、地球物理和地球化学特点,提出今后深部找矿的主要对象是：找隐伏含矿岩体及有关的各类矿体,找岩体中的大型斑岩型矿床,找受岩体和五通砂岩联合控制的层状矿;讨论了地球物理和地球化学方法应用中要注意解决的几个主要问题,强调应发挥包括重力、磁法、激发极化法、电磁法、岩性探测仪及多种天然地震法和化探方法等综合方法的作用,并与地质矿床成矿规律研究密切结合;讨论了方法应用试验中要注意的几个问题。文章最后一部分是从本区大地构造的演化探讨了区域构造岩浆活动与成矿前景,认为这一地区是扬子板块与华北板块陆-陆碰撞挤压造山带及其前陆区,在岩石圈强烈挤压下形成地壳增厚和深部物质的挤出折返,使深部的高压和超高压变质岩层推到地壳浅部;深部生成的柯石英等高压超高压矿物及地幔熔融岩浆同时上侵;生成大量钙碱性岩浆并存储在中地壳部位,通过长期与中下地壳金属物质进行交换,形成矿液的集中优势,通过后期出现的张性断裂构造而进入地壳表层,再经过与围岩发生物理化学成矿作用后沉淀成矿。归纳出扬子板块与华北板块陆-陆碰撞造山带一种新的构造模式。     

Post-Miocene stratigraphy and depositional environments of valley-fill sequences at the mouth of Tampa Bay, Florida

Post-Miocene sea-level low stands allowed rivers and karst processes to incise the exposed carbonate platform along the Gulf Coast of Florida. Few Miocene to mid-Pleistocene deposits survived erosion along the present coast except within incised valleys. Since their formation, these valleys have been filled and incised multiple times in response to sea-level changes. The thick sedimentary sequences underlying the mouth of Tampa Bay have been recorded as a range of depositional environments and multiple sea-level incursions and excursions during pre-Holocene time and subsequent to the accumulation of the Miocene carbonate sequences. Sediment analysis of cores collected from a north–south transect across the mouth of Tampa Bay has enabled the identification of lithofacies, ranging from well-sorted, quartz sand to dense, fossiliferous, phosphatic grainstone. These facies were deposited in freshwater, estuarine, and shallow, open marine environments. As a result of channel development and migration within the paleovalley, and cut-and-fill associated with individual transgressions and regressions, correlation of the lithofacies does not extend across the entire transect. Fining-upward sequences truncated by tidal ravinement surfaces that extend throughout the paleovalley can, however, be identified. Age determinations based on 14-C analysis, amino-acid racemization, and strontium isotope analysis dating of numerous samples yield ages of Miocene, Pliocene, early Pleistocene, and late Pleistocene, as well as Holocene for sequences that accumulated and were preserved in this valley-fill complex. Numerous inconsistencies in the stratigraphic organization of the age determinations indicate that there are bad dates, considerable reworking of shells that were dated, or both. For this reason as well as the lack of detailed correlation among the three relatively complete cores, it is not possible to place these strata in a sequence stratigraphic framework.     

A metrologic method of anomaly field amplitude bottom reduction in undersampled geomagnetic marine surveys

We show the results obtained by means of a seabed reduction technique on the intensity of geomagnetic anomaly fields applied to a synthetic case and then to the real case of a geomagnetic survey of eastern Ligurian Sea (Italy). The eastern Ligurian Sea has very intense short waves anomaly fields and a sea bed that varies greatly in depth. As a result the geomagnetic space signal is characterized by a very large spectral content; in these conditions it is not possible to obtain a full sampled marine survey and vertical continuation analytic procedures and standard numerical bottom reduction based on a single vertical incremental parameter, whichever is applicable, fails to give accurate results. The present technique, which has been fine-tuned over 4 years of experimentation in environmental researchs, aims to provide a simple and efficient means to reduce the distortion of geomagnetic anomalies field caused by the variation of distance between survey plane and magnetic outcrop source position. The compensation procedure is based on evaluation, by comparison of two measurements carried out at different altitudes, of the mean vertical increment typical of each anomaly field principal frequency component bands. The component anomaly fields are then corrected by application of the corresponding vertical increments and lastly, the anomaly geomagnetic field reduced to the sea-bed is computed as Inverse Fourier Transform of a spectrum built as synthesis of the component anomaly fields' spectra. The results obtained have shown a notable increase in definition of anomaly field intensity without the production of appreciable distortions or false geomagnetic echoes. This revised version was published online in November 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Optimal Model for Geoid Determination from Airborne Gravity

Two different approaches for transformation of airborne gravity disturbances, derived from gravity observations at low-elevation flying platforms, into geoidal undulations are formulated, tested and discussed in this contribution. Their mathematical models are based on Green's integral equations. They are in these two approaches defined at two different levels and also applied in a mutually reversed order. While one of these approaches corresponds to the classical method commonly applied in processing of ground gravity data, the other approach represents a new method for processing of gravity data in geoid determination that is unique to airborne gravimetry. Although theoretically equivalent in the continuous sense, both approaches are tested numerically for possible numerical advantages, especially due to the inverse of discretized Fredholm's integral equation of the first kind applied on different data. High-frequency synthetic gravity data burdened by the 2-mGal random noise, that are expected from current airborne gravity systems, are used for numerical testing. The results show that both approaches can deliver for the given data a comparable cm-level accuracy of the geoidal undulations. The new approach has, however, significantly higher computational efficiency. It would be thus recommended for real life geoid computations. Additional errors related to regularization of gravity data and the geoid, and to accuracy of the reference field, that would further deteriorate the quality of estimated geoidal undulations, are not considered in this study.     

两种测高重力异常反演海底地形方法比较

针对基于测高重力异常反演海底地形理论众多、选取标准无法确定的情况,利用中国南海海域内的测高重力异常和船测水深数据研究比较了重力地质法(GGM)和SmithSandwell (SAS)法两种精度高、计算速度相对较快的海底地形反演理论。其中,GGM方法的密度差异常数Δρ由向下延拓技术确定为2.15 g·cm-3,SAS方法采用移去-恢复技术得到反演波段内重力异常和水深数据。结果表明:测线分布条件一定时,水深多在-1 000 m左右或反演区域岛礁、海山等复杂海底地形较多时选取SAS方法,水深主要在-3 000 m以深的区域或海底地形复杂程度不高时选取GGM方法则能获取更好的效果,其效果最优处与船测水深在检核点处的差值最优平均值能达-0.61 m,标准差可达14.67 m。

中国科学院地质研究所的成立与中央地质调查所的传承

1913年成立的中央地质调查所(成立时称农商部地质调查所)是中国建立的第一个国家级科研机构,代表了中国现代科学的起始,在中国现代科学发展史上具有举足轻重的地位。在它成立后的几十年间,中央地质调查所在区域地质调查、矿产资源勘查、大地构造学、地震学、土壤学、古生物与古人类学等众多领域,取得了一系列举世瞩目的学术成就,是民国时期我国最享有国际声誉的研究单位。1951年,中央地质调查所被正式改组为中国科学院地质研究所。根据当时新中国地质工作"一元化"的要求,原中央研究院地质研究所和原国民政府资源委员会矿产测勘处的部分地质研究人员也一同并入该研究所,使其成为当时我国最大的地质研究机构。1952年6月开始,刚成立不久的中国科学院地质研究所的科技人员开始分流。首先是研究所的古生物研究人员分流到新成立的中国科学院古生物研究所(即现在的中国科学院南京地质古生物研究所),它是在原中央研究院地质研究所基础上成立的。1952年9月,研究所土壤研究室扩充建设为中国科学院土壤研究所。1952年底左右,因新中国大规模经济建设的需求,大批科技人员分流到刚成立的地质部及所属的地质勘探队。从这一脉络可以看出,中国科学院地质研究所是中央地质调查所的传承和延续,而学术界大多认为中央地质调查所已于解放初期解体或撤销的观点与史实并不相符。     

利用一维时间序列重建动力系统的初步研究

通过对月平均气温一维时间序列作相空间拓展,和假定相空间状态变量随时间的演化方程含有线性和非线性二次项,再根据拓展后的资料进行拟合,利用最小二乘法求出各项系数,保留其方差贡献大的项,以重建动力系统.实际计算结果表明,重建的低阶动力系统有可能对月平均气温所表征的短期气候演化过程的非线性特性作出描写.

本文讨论地震勘探数据的叠前速度反演方法及其在海洋地震勘探数据上的反演试验.反演主要的计算步骤是:1.采用Fourier-Hankel变换把球面波分解为平面谐波;2.用平面谐波的延拓方程将上行波与下行波同时向下延拓,并计算每一层底部的反射系数和下一层的波阻抗;3.用最小二乘法从波阻抗中确定该层的声波速度.重复第2步与第3步,直到某一预定深度时结束.通过反演试验,对地震振幅比例的改变,子波变形,以及第1层速度和密度的误差对反演方法的稳定性及其精度的影响进行了分析.还通过实际海洋地震勘探数据的反演试验,对这一方法在地震勘探中的应用前景作了论述.
