南海北部地区海洋沉积物中孔隙水的氢、氧同位素组成特征

海洋沉积物中孔隙水的H、O同位素地球化学研究可以有效示踪天然气水合物的存在，中国南海地区由于地处三大板块交会处，地质构造特殊，沉积地层厚，沉积速率高，有机质丰富，并有指示天然气水合物存在的地球物理证据BSR存在，符合天然气水合物的赋存条件。本文对南海北部地区部分海域浅层沉积物中孔隙水样品进行了H、O同位素分析，试图探讨与天然气水合物赋存有关的地球化学异常。通过研究认为，①南海处于三大板块的交界处，具有特殊的地球物理场和构造沉积特征以及较适合天然气水合物赋存的温压条件，特别是南海北部地区有利于天然气水合物的生成；②南海北部地区部分海域的浅表层沉积物的H、O同位素测试中可以看出，总体上与海水的正常值一致，可能来自海水，但是在其中A14站位8个样品表现出了与天然气水合物有关的重同位素随深度增加的趋势。也许指示该区有天然气水合物存在的可能性。

Oxygen and Hydrogen Isotopic Compositions of Pore Water from Marine Sediments in the Northern South China Sea

Oxygen and hydrogen isotopic compositions of pore water from marine sediments are good indicators for gas hydrates. The South China Sea is located among three major plates. Its geological and tectonic settings, thick sediment columns, high sedimentation rates and high contents of organic matters, together with geophysical evidence for the existence of BSR, all point to the great potential of gas hydrates in this region. This paper reports oxygen and hydrogen isotopic compositions of pore water from marine sediments in the northern South China Sea, in an attempt to study the isotope anomaly that may be related to gas hydrates.
