长白山地区晚新生代火山地貌形态研究及其地质应用

长白山地区晚新生代火山岩规模巨大而且来源复杂。本次研究主要基于新生火山岩与基底地质体在地貌形态上的差异及火山口群和锥状火山口的地貌特征,利用ASTER-GDEM数据,通过地形高程、地势起伏度、坡度、典型剖面、地形参数等分析手段,对比区域地质调查成果,对长白山晚新生代火山岩区的地貌形态进行解译、分析。解译所得到的研究区晚新生代火山岩、火山口群和锥状火山口的分布特征与地质调查结果基本一致。地形剖面分析揭示甄峰山火山口群呈现熔岩高地的地貌特征,指示裂隙式火山活动,其他火山口群均呈锥状火山地貌特征。各锥状火山口群的地形参数特征与地质资料所确定的形成顺序较为一致。在各锥状火山口群及周边地区共解译锥状火山口149个,正确率75%,预测15个,对进一步野外地质调查具有指示意义。此外,综合解译结果及前人地质调查分析,认为长白山晚新生代火山岩及火山口群分布受NW向深大断裂的控制。     

长白山天池火山千年大喷发火山碎屑流堆积相特征

发生于公元946年的长白山天池火山千年大喷发（Millennium Eruption,ME）形成的火山碎屑堆积物体积高达100~172km³,并可分为大规模的ME-Ⅰ和小规模的ME-Ⅱ两个喷发阶段。通过对围绕长白山天池火山53个典型露头剖面进行火山地质测量（单元构成、垂向堆积序列和堆积特征）,结合筛析法粒度分析、偏光显微镜成分分析,刻画了长白山千年大喷发火山碎屑流堆积物特征,探讨了相和亚相划分,并建立了火山碎屑流搬运和堆积模式。根据火山碎屑的堆积特征,将长白山千年大喷发火山碎屑流堆积分为峡谷充填火山碎屑流相（包括块状峡谷充填亚相和层状峡谷充填亚相）和火山碎屑流冲击扇相（包括扇头亚相和扇体亚相）等两相四亚相。峡谷充填火山碎屑流相主要发育在天池火山锥体周缘距离喷发中心8~23km左右范围内（坡度在15°~60°之间）的火山U型谷中;火山碎屑流冲积扇相主要发育在距离喷发中心23~45km左右范围内,地形相对平缓的熔岩台地处（坡度在5°~15°之间）,火山碎屑流的搬运不受地形限制,一般形成较大纵横比扇状堆积。块状峡谷充填亚相和扇体亚相以块状混杂堆积为主要特征,而层状峡谷充填亚相和扇头亚相则以多火山碎屑流单元垂向叠加为主要特征。多单元叠加现象是由搬运过程中火山碎屑流单元发生分离增生作用形成。根据火山碎屑流的最大分布范围和厚度,如果再次发生与长白山千年大喷发类似规模的普林尼式喷发,至少距长白山天池火山喷发中心45km范围内具有巨大的火山碎屑流灾害风险。该研究有利于进一步深入认识长白山千年大喷发火山碎屑流堆积物的空间分布特征和相变规律,对火山碎屑喷发灾害的预防具有指导作用。

Origin and evolution of Lord Howe Island,Southwest Pacific Ocean

Lord Howe Island is the eroded remnant of a large shield volcano. Tholeiitic lavas of the North Ridge Basalt comprise the main shield building phase and were erupted about 6.9 Ma ago. The Boat Harbour Breccia probably formed within the throat of the volcano and, together with the North Ridge Basalt, is intruded by numerous basaltic dykes, which grade into a cone sheet complex near the main vent. Large scale collapse of the summit area of the volcano produced a caldera which was filled rapidly by lavas of the Mount Lidgbird Basalt some 6.4 Ma ago, bringing to a close the volcanic history of Lord Howe Island. The shield volcano thus was built during a short interval in the late Miocene.

Palaeomagnetic data show that the North Ridge Basalt and the Mount Lidgbird Basalt were erupted during periods when the geomagnetic field had normal polarity, and that their formation was separated by at least one interval of reversed polarity when the dykes and cone sheets were emplaced. The directions of magnetisation for the lavas and intrusives are such that, palaeomagnetically, no movement of Lord Howe Island is detected since its formation.

Lord Howe Island is the subaerial part of a large seamount which lies at the southern end of a northerly‐trending line of volcanic seamounts extending for more than 1000 km. The Lord Howe seamount chain probably was produced by movement of the Australian lithospheric plate over a magma source or hot spot located below the plate within the upper mantle. Other data suggest that the Australian plate is moving N at about 6 cm/a and from this it is predicted that the seamount underlying Nova Bank, at the northern end of the chain, was constructed by volcanic activity about 23 Ma ago. Similarly, if volcanism were to occur now in the Lord Howe seamount chain we predict that its location would be about 400 km S of Lord Howe Island.     

凸形地貌对爆破震动波传播影响的数值模拟

应用UDEC程序模拟了爆破震动波在两种凸形地貌中的传播特征,并与广东岭澳核电站2期基础爆破开挖现场监测结果进行了对比。结果表明,凸形地貌对爆破震动波具有明显的放大作用,其数值模拟结果与现场监测结果吻合得比较好。研究结果还揭示,在一定爆破能量下,爆破震动波速度放大系数并不随台阶型凸形地貌的增高而单调增加,而是先随凸形地貌高度的增加而增加,在凸形地貌高度达到某一临界值时放大系数达到最大值,当凸形地貌高度超过这一临界值时,放大系数随凸形地貌高度的增加而减小。另外,在孤立凸形地貌下爆破振动波速度放大系数还与凸形地貌的高宽比有关。     

Finite-difference strategy for elastic wave modelling on curved staggered grids

Waveform modelling is essential for seismic imaging and inversion. Because including more physical characteristics can potentially yield more accurate Earth models, we analyse strategies for elastic seismic wave propagation modelling including topography. We focus on using finite differences on modified staggered grids. Computational grids can be curved to fit the topography using distribution functions. With the chain rule, the elasto-dynamic formulation is adapted to be solved directly on curved staggered grids. The chain-rule approach is computationally less expensive than the tensorial approach for finite differences below the 6th order, but more expensive than the classical approach for flat topography (i.e. rectangular staggered grids). Free-surface conditions are evaluated and implemented according to the stress image method. Non-reflective boundary conditions are simulated via a Convolutional Perfect Matching Layer. This implementation does not generate spurious diffractions when the free-surface topography is not horizontal, as long as the topography is smoothly curved. Optimal results are obtained when the angle between grid lines at the free surface is orthogonal. The chain-rule implementation shows high accuracy when compared to the analytical solution in the case of the Lamb’s problem, Garvin’s problem and elastic interface.     

RegCM3模式在西北地区的应用研究Ⅱ:区域选择及参数化方案的敏感性

通过数值模拟方法,研究了降水对区域尺度、积云对流参数化等的敏感性.结果表明:由于较小区域尺度的模式内部场和大尺度分析场激发的外强迫之间有更强的束缚,这种束缚使得内外强迫更容易达到一致.小区域尺度模拟的降水型比大的区域尺度的模拟更好,但同时,大的区域尺度消弱了由于模式侧边界效应产生的虚假动力效应,模拟的降水在量值上更加接近于观测值.因此,进行区域气候模拟时,须根据需要对模式区域进行仔细的选择.结果同时表明,由于Grell方案倾向于模拟更多的对流降水,因此Kuo-Anthes方案对西北地区降水型和量值的模拟比Grell方案更接近于实际.由于地形对于降水的重要意义,在复杂地形下进行区域气候模拟时有必要在模式中仔细描述地形.     

Volcanic hazards in the surroundings of Pico de Orizaba,eastern Mexico

Volcanic hazards from Pico de Orizaba volcano are presented here tor the first time. Some 1.3 million people live within the hazard zone, which in the most severe case would encompass the Mexican Gulf coast, east of the volcano. Three major cities located in the eastern part of the hazard zone account for 800 000 of this population and about 200 000 people live within a 20 km radius of the volcano. Probability calculations are presented as an attempt to quantify the hazards in the surroundings of the volcano. Such quantification can be of use in planning for future land use within the hazard zones.A zone of about 10 km radius centred on the top crater is a high hazard zone for gravity-driven flows and fallout ejecta. For large volume eruptions, the radius could be extended to 120 km to the east and 60 km to the west. The asymmetrical distribution is related to the topography of the volcano. Hazards from Pyroclastic-fall deposits are principally to the west of the volcano, since easterly winds are dominant in the area lava-flow hazards are greatest within a 10 km radius from the summit crater. Pyroclastic flow hazards are high up to 20 km from the volcano summit.In the case of reactivation of the volcano, melting of a glacier covering the summit of Pico de Orizaba having a volume equivalent to some 45 × 10⁹ litres of water, would produce lahars which would descend the flanks of the volcano.     

Seismic signals from Lascar Volcano

Lascar, the most active volcano in northern Chile, lies near the center of the region studied during the Proyecto de Investigación Sismológica de la Cordillera Occidental 94 (PISCO ’94). Its largest historical eruption occurred on 19 April 1993. By the time of the PISCO ’94 deployment, its activity consisted mainly of a plume of water vapor and SO₂. In April and May 1994, three short-period, three-component seismometers were placed on the flanks of the volcano, augmenting the broadband seismometer located on the NW flank of the volcano during the entire deployment. In addition to the usual seismic signals recorded at volcanoes, Lascar produced two unique tremor types: Rapid-fire tremor and harmonic tremor. Rapid-fire tremor appears to be a sequence of very similar, but independent, “impulsive” events with a large range of amplitudes. Harmonic tremor, on the other hand, is a continuous, cyclic signal lasting several hours. It is characterized by a spectrum with peaks at a fundamental frequency and its integer multiples. Both types of tremor seem to be generated by movement of fluids in the volcano, most probably water, steam or gas.     

高速远程滑坡的地貌学与沉积学研究进展

近年来,随着山区工程建设日益活跃,由滑坡转化为泥石流所导致的巨型远程沟谷灾害,因其超强的运动性和巨大的破坏性而引起广泛关注。与单灾种滑坡相比,转化后的泥石流灾害规模更大、运动距离更远、流动性更强、危害程度更严重。科学的认识滑坡-泥石流转化过程,对从起始环节降低远程沟谷灾害风险,进而采取针对性减灾措施具有重要意义。本文基于现阶段国内外研究成果,系统综述了滑坡-泥石流灾害转化的概念、转化条件和转化机理。首先,对比高速远程滑坡-碎屑流,明确了滑坡-泥石流转化的概念。随后,从物源、水源和地形3个角度梳理了滑坡-泥石流转化的宏观条件,进一步梳理了现阶段用于划分滑坡、泥石流的静态、动态指标和方法。基于典型滑坡-泥石流转化野外案例和模型实验,总结了滑坡-泥石流转化的两种模式：“静-动”转化和“动-动”转化,分别就不同转化模式所对应的孕灾条件和物理机制进行了探讨。最后,基于对现有成果的分析,提出了滑坡-泥石流转化研究所面临的3个关键科学问题,指出了滑坡-泥石流转化研究可借鉴的相关理论和方法,探讨了未来滑坡-泥石流转化过程及物理机制分析的研究方法。     

Bristlecone pine tree rings and volcanic eruptions over the last 5000 yr

Many years of low growth identified in a western USA regional chronology of upper forest border bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva and Pinus aristata) over the last 5000 yr coincide with known large explosive volcanic eruptions and/or ice core signals of past eruptions. Over the last millennium the agreement between the tree-ring data and volcano/ice-core data is high: years of ring-width minima can be matched with known volcanic eruptions or ice-core volcanic signals in 86% of cases. In previous millennia, while there is substantial concurrence, the agreement decreases with increasing antiquity. Many of the bristlecone pine ring-width minima occurred at the same time as ring-width minima in high latitude trees from northwestern Siberia and/or northern Finland over the past 4000-5000 yr, suggesting climatically-effective events of at least hemispheric scale. In contrast with the ice-core records, the agreement between widely separated tree-ring records does not decrease with increasing antiquity. These data suggest specific intervals when the climate system was or was not particularly sensitive enough to volcanic forcing to affect the trees, and they augment the ice core record in a number of ways: by providing confirmation from an alternative proxy record for volcanic signals, by suggesting alternative dates for eruptions, and by adding to the list of years when volcanic events of global significance were likely, including the mid-2nd-millennium BC eruption of Thera.     

Large wood transport modelling by a coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian approach

The fractal characteristics of the ultra-low-frequency (ULF) magnetic field variations recorded prior to the Tohoku earthquake (EQ) with M _W = 9 which happened on 11 March 2011 are studied in this article with the use of detrended fluctuation analysis and Higuchi fractal dimension algorithm. In the specific study, we use for our calculations only nighttime (LT = 3 a.m. ± 2 h) data because of their lowest contamination by industrial noise. A key aspect of our analysis is the investigation about any possible correlation of the ULF magnetic field variations or their calculated fractal characteristics with geomagnetic indices. Different preprocessing approaches are examined aiming at the minimization of any possible influences from global phenomena in the fractal analysis results, while in the same time retaining the scale-invariant character of ULF magnetic field variations after preprocessing. The obtained fractal analysis results imply locally driven change in the fractal characteristics of the ULF data prior to the Tohoku EQ, which is compatible with the change that has been reported prior to other large EQs.     

Ground-penetrating radar for monitoring the distribution of near-surface soil water content in the Gurbantünggüt Desert

In the Gurbantünggüt Desert, snowmelt-induced high soil water contents briefly create favorable conditions for the germination and growth of plants every spring. Monitoring the rapidly changing conditions in this time period demands fast and efficient methods for measuring soil water contents at the field scale. For this study, a series of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) measurements were carried out on sites characterized by semi-vegetated dunes both in April 2010 and 2011. We compare water contents calculated from the GPR direct ground wave signal to both point scale validation measurements by time-domain reflectometry (TDR) and gravimetric sampling. Our results show that GPR is an effective method to rapidly obtain a detailed image of the field scale soil water content distribution in the Gurbantünggüt Desert with an accuracy similar to TDR. Observed large scale soil water content variations are dominated by dune topography: During snow melting, melt water was found to trickle slowly from the dune ridges to interdune valleys, increasing the soil water content there while the dune ridges quickly started to dry down. In dune valleys, smaller scale near-surface soil water content changes were dominated by variations in the vegetation coverage, leading to snowmelt funnels at distinct locations: The snowmelt initially occurred around the stems and branches of plants, forming funnel-shaped melt water induced holes through the snow cover and leading to an increasing amount of melt water collected around these plant roots. Our comparison of data from 2010 to 2011 furthermore suggests a temporally stable distribution of near-surface soil water content. This has important ecological significance for controlling desertification and for restoring and reconstructing vegetation in the Gurbantünggüt Desert.

Changes of the susceptibility to lava flow invasion induced by morphological modifications of an active volcano: the case of Mount Etna,Italy

Changes of the susceptibility to lava flow invasion at Mount Etna are quantified by using lava flow simulations on four Digital Elevation Models documenting the morphostructural modifications of the volcano in the time interval 1986–2007. The probabilistic code DOWNFLOW is used to derive the areas invaded by several thousands of lava flows obtaining, for each DEM, maps of the susceptibility to lava flow invasion and of the lava flow hazard. These maps show, for the first time, the evolution of these surficial properties with time, and render a quantitative image of the effects of topographic changes on the preferential lava flow drainage paths. The results illustrate how the emplacement of new lava flows and the growth of scoria cones affect the probability of inundation by lava flows. We conclude that the persistent activity of this volcano requires a frequent updating of the topography for a reliable lava flow hazard assessment.     

五大连池老黑山火山弹和喷发柱动力学模拟

火山喷发是一个气体、液体和固体混合物的复杂的流体动力学过程。正确理解这个过程是研究火山喷发的关键因素。Eject和Plumeria软件可以很好地模拟现实火山喷发过程中火山弹和喷发柱的动力学过程。在详细调查五大连池老黑山地区火山弹、火山碎屑物和整理已有数据的基础上,运用Eject和Plumeria软件对老黑山火山的火山弹和喷发柱进行了动力学模拟。结果表明:老黑山火山喷发的火山弹喷射最大高度为530 m,喷射角度45°时喷射水平距离最远为1 000 m,喷发柱最大高度为4.7 km,喷发柱半径为2.3 km。通过对其喷发规模和火山灰构成比例的探讨,认为老黑山火山喷发属于镁铁质火山小型喷发,对环境的影响范围有限。
