泌阳断陷湖盆古湖泊演化模式初探

泌阳断陷湖盆沉积充填史划分为三个阶段：初始断陷充填阶段、主断陷充填阶段及坳陷充填阶段,并对应着三个盆地充填序列及其相应的构造层序。其中第二阶段包括强烈断陷充填亚阶段、稳定断陷充填亚阶段及断陷萎缩充填亚阶段,其沉积速率有由大到小的变化规律。早第三纪泌阳断陷湖盆经历了四个演化历程：山前洪水洼地→硫酸盐型滨浅湖→正常湖泊→碳酸盐型或硫酸盐型滨浅湖;相应地,湖盆南部边缘（陡坡带）和北部边缘（缓坡带）沉积楔状体演变过程分别为：冲积扇→陡坡型扇三角洲→缓坡型扇三角洲→冲积扇和冲积扇→三角洲→冲积扇。随着硫酸盐类矿物沉淀的增多,泌阳断陷湖盆最终走向消亡。

晋东北地区燕山运动的基本特征——来自1∶25万应县幅区域地质调查的总结

晋东北地区燕山期地壳活动剧烈而频繁,经历了3次由伸展→挤压转换→隆升和岩浆活动过程。燕山运动早期形成早侏罗世断陷盆地和中侏罗世挤压坳陷型聚煤构造盆地;中期中晚侏罗世形成被NW、NE向深大断裂围限的火山断陷盆地,中基性—酸性火山喷发和浅成、超浅成中酸性岩浆侵入,晚侏罗世末形成了一系列NNE向褶皱和逆冲推覆构造带;晚期早白垩世再次形成断陷盆地和开阔平缓褶皱,义县组不整合在火山岩之上,晚白垩世处于挤压造山后的山体隆升阶段,左云组不整合在义县组之上,伴随有壳源型花岗岩侵入,NW、NE向断裂复活,形成地堑、地垒式断裂组合,导致山体隆升。     

陆相断陷盆地层序类型与构造特征

本文通过对中国东部古近纪-新近纪陆相断陷盆地层序地层的研究表明：陆相断陷盆地存在着同生断裂坡折带、同沉积构造挠曲坡折带两种基本坡折类型和无坡折的平缓地貌,由此决定了陆相断陷盆地有三种基本的层序类型,这就是同沉积断裂坡折型层序——A型层序;同沉积构造挠曲坡折型层序——B型层序;无坡折的平缓型层序——C型层序。这三种层序在纵向上有规律的叠置组合就构成了盆地层序充填序列。断陷盆地层序的充填序列一般为C→A→B→C型,但也可发育成其他类型如A→B→C型或B→C型。同沉积断裂坡折型层序和同沉积构造挠曲坡折型层序的低位域砂体和高位域扇三角洲成藏条件优越、地震剖面易于识别是隐蔽油气藏勘探的主要目标。     

晋东北地区燕山运动的基本特征——来自1:25万应县幅区域地质调查的总结

晋东北地区燕山期地壳活动剧烈而频繁, 经历了3次由伸展→挤压转换→隆升和岩浆活动过程。燕山运动早期形成早侏罗世断陷盆地和中侏罗世挤压坳陷型聚煤构造盆地; 中期中晚侏罗世形成被NW、NE向深大断裂围限的火山断陷盆地, 中基性-酸性火山喷发和浅成、超浅成中酸性岩浆侵入, 晚侏罗世末形成了一系列NNE向褶皱和逆冲推覆构造带; 晚期早白垩世再次形成断陷盆地和开阔平缓褶皱, 义县组不整合在火山岩之上, 晚白垩世处于挤压造山后的山体隆升阶段, 左云组不整合在义县组之上, 伴随有壳源型花岗岩侵入, NW、NE向断裂复活, 形成地堑、地垒式断裂组合, 导致山体隆升。     

内蒙地轴南缘盖层中逆冲断层的样式及形成机制

内蒙地轴南缘盖层中,发育了多种样式的逆冲断层,如叠瓦式、背冲式、对冲式和楔冲式.这些逆冲断层都发育在基底断裂控制的断陷盆地边缘,并向盆内逆冲。形成发育的过程是:区域拉伸、基底断裂活动和断陷盆地发育→区域挤压、盆缘逆冲断层发育→盆缘进一步隆起、逆冲断层进一步发育。所以区域拉伸和挤压、断陷盆地的发育和盆缘逆冲断层的活动三者密切相关。逆冲作用主要发生于燕山运动时期。     

松辽盆地南部长岭断陷区深层构造特征与天然气聚集

在充分利用二维地震大剖面、三维地震资料以及钻/测井信息的基础上,结合高精度重、磁、电信息,系统地解剖了长岭断陷的区域地质结构,认为长岭断陷区为非单一简单断陷,而是由多个主次断陷组成的复式断陷群,且与北部的古龙断陷连为一体。在连片工业制图的基础上,进行了构造单元及区带划分,分析了主要断裂的几何学及运动学特征,认为乾安断裂、前神字井断裂、黑帝庙断裂、孤西断裂、孤店断裂、大安断裂、哈尔金断裂与顾家店-伏龙泉断裂控制了长岭断陷的地层发育及断陷结构,其中乾安断裂、前神字井断裂、黑帝庙断裂为最主要的控凹断裂。研究了断陷构造演化,将其分为断陷基底形成期、断陷发育期及断陷改造期等3个阶段。在油气地质条件分析基础上,研究了不同类型天然气的成藏特征,认为深层烃类气为煤型气,主要来自受断陷沉积控制的沙河子组和火石岭组,深层二氧化碳气为无机成因,主要来源于深层地幔,同时指出了有利勘探方向。

依舒地堑汤原、方正断陷古近纪边界断裂活动特征

依舒地堑位于黑龙江省东部,为一新生代断陷盆地,汤原断陷和方正断陷为其两个面积较大的二级构造单元。通过对汤原断陷和方正断陷边界断裂的研究,可以进一步了解依舒断裂带的形成和演化过程。研究发现,在始新世-渐新世依舒地堑边界断裂的活动整体上具有多中心、不均衡的特征,汤原断陷东部的边界断裂为控盆断裂,方正断陷东、西两侧的边界断裂对盆地的发展都具有一定的控制作用,但西部边界断裂为主要控盆断裂。断层的生长指数分析表明,依舒地堑内部的北西向断裂与边界断裂的活动具有一致的规律性,都起到协调边界断裂演化发展的作用。依舒地堑边界断裂转换引张方向是由莫霍面梯度带的倾斜方向所决定,梯度带的倾向与地堑的整体伸展方向相同。     

Croatia — a coastal and maritime country

Croatia, through its geographic position, is a Mediterranean/Adriatic and Central European/Danube state. As an Adriatic coastal state, it has a long maritime tradition, which is apparent in its well-developed shipping (2.4 million GT), the high-quality ship-building industry (among the top six in the world) and through its numerous sea ports, of which many were established in ancient times. The leading national port is Rijeka, which is at the same time an important transit port for Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.The exceptionally indented Croatian Adriatic coast with its attractive archipelagos and favorable climatic and oceanographic conditions in the coastal sea offers very advantageous conditions for comprehensive tourist utilization. This is particularly true of nautical tourism, which is complimented by a larger number of constructed and well-equipped yachting ports/marinas on the coast and islands.     

Coral reefs as a tool for monitoring environmental and radiation hazards

Analysis of coral reef species enables characterization of the coral reefs and the degree to which human activities influence the reef composition. Geochemical characteristics, X-ray diffraction, and natural radionuclides analyses of four common coral reef species representing the branching and massive forms were conducted at the three areas under threat (Quseir Harbor, Safaga Harbor, and El-Esh area) along the Red Sea coast. Branching recorded higher carbonates and lower organic matter than the massive forms. Stylophora pistillata at Safaga Harbor and El-Esh area and Acropora humilis at Qusier Harbor recorded the highest carbonate percentages (96.88, 96.24, and 96.89%, respectively) meanwhile Platygyra daedalea at Safaga Harbor recorded the highest organic matter contents (5.07 and 4.91%). The highest Ca contents were observed in S. pistillata and Porites solida (65.87 and 64.87%), the highest Mg was in Acropora humilis and P. daedalea (1.06 and 0.88%) at Qusier Harbor, whilst the highest Sr was in S. pistillata and P. daedalea at Safaga Harbor. Then highest value of ²²⁶Ra recorded in A. humilis and P. solida (71 ± 3.5 Bq/kg and 63 ± 3.1 Bq/k) and ²³²Th in S. pistillata at El-Esh area may attribute to petroleum exploration activities. A. humilis and P. daedalea at Safaga Harbor recorded significant high ⁴⁰K values (505 ± 30 and 472 ± 13 Bq/kg, respectively) relative to the other localities. The low Ca and High Sr as well as the highest averages of ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K at Safaga Harbor indicated that the coral reef communities were highly affected by the terrestrial inputs from phosphate shipments.     

Patterns of estuarine use by juvenile English sole (Parophrys vetulus) and Dungeness crab (Cancer magister)

Extensive trawl surveys were conducted in two large estuaries (Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay) on the Washington coast during 1983–1987, and in adjacent areas of the open coast. These surveys have shown that both English sole and Dungeness crab rely heavily on these estuaries as nursery areas, although the pattern of utilization differs substantially. Juvenile migration patterns can show substantial interannual variability and can only be delineated by concurrent surveys in both coastal and estuarine areas, conducted over a period of several years. English sole eggs and Dungeness crab larvae are released in coastal waters. Larvae of both species transform to the benthic stage in both coastal and estuarine areas, but most English sole eventually migrate into the estuaries during the first year of life, even if initial settlement is along the open coast. By the time English sole have attained a length of 55 mm (TL), most of them are found in estuaries. English sole begin emigrating from the estuaries at about 75 mm, and few remain there during the second year of life. In contrast, Dungeness crab appear to remain in the area of initial settlement throughout the first year of life. Growth is substantially faster in estuaries where 0+ crab reach a mean size of about 40 mm carapace width (CW) by September, with those off the coast are only about 14 mm CW. Juveniles remain in the area of settlement over their first winter but, in contrast to English sole, most coastal 1+ crab immigrate to estuaries to join siblings that settled there the previous year. By September of the second year, crab at about 100 mm CW emigrate to the open coast where they reach maturity. Advantages to juvenile stages that reside in estuaries are discussed in terms of accelerated growth at higher temperatures and potentially greater food supplies than found nearshore along the coast.     

Environmental factors controlling the distribution patterns and abundance of sclerobionts on the shells of Tridacna maxima from the Egyptian Red Sea coast

The living Tridacna maxima shell provides an example of a good substrate for many colonizing marine organisms (sclerobionts). Many factors affect the colonization choices of these organisms, such as morphology and size of the host shell, water depth (related to light penetration), suspended particulate load, and turbidity, among others. In addition to these factors, contamination plays an important role in the colonization choice along the coast of the Red Sea in Egypt. In the present study, 25 specimens of T. maxima shells of different sizes were collected at different depths from eight sites along the Egyptian Red Sea coast. There are two types of contamination at these sites. The first type results from anthropogenic activities, such as tourism, fishing, landfilling, shipping, renewal of ship operations, shipyards, dredging, and petroleum production; this type is represented by the El-Esh area, Hurghada Harbor, Safaga Harbor, and Quseir Harbor. The second type results from the natural inputs from wadis and is represented by the El-Esh area, Quseir Harbour, and Wadi El-Gemal, while the Abu Galawa Lagoon, the Abu Ghusun, and the Hamata Reefs represent uncontaminated areas (control areas). The present study documents the colonization phenomena on T. maxima shells at all of the study sites. These phenomena differed from one another in the abundance and diversity of sclerobionts, and unexpectedly, the contaminated areas recorded the highest abundance and diversity of colonizing organisms.

Detecting areal changes in tidal flats after sea dike construction using Landsat-TM images

The main objective of this study was to estimate changes in the area of tidal flats that occurred after sea dike construction on the western coast of South Korea using Landsat-TM images. Applying the ISODATA method of unsupervised classification for Landsat-TM images, the tidal flats were identified, and the resulting areas were quantified for each image. The area of tidal flats from a topographic map published in one year differs significantly from that shown in another, which appears to be attributable to the tide levels at the time of aerial photography. During the study period, the area of tidal flats, as estimated from Landsat-TM images, increased by 4.57 km² per year in the study areas. The tidal flats in the inner sea of Chunsu Harbor area increased by 200 m² per zone, while the accumulation for a number of inner sea areas within Asan Harbor area occurred at over 50m² per zone. The results of this research may serve as the basis of an environmentallyfriendly development plan for tidal flats.     

The Palmerville fault — a “fundamental” structure in North Queensland∗

The Palmerville Fault in North Queensland is an important structure with a probable length of at least 600 miles, extending from Princess Charlotte Bay in the north to Townsville in the south, and controlling the configuration of the coast line of eastern Cape York and at Halifax Bay. The fault forms the western boundary of both the Palaeozoic Hodgkinson Basin (Tasman Geosyncline) and of the Mesozoic Laura Basin, and has been active at least four times since the Silurian. The latest movements took place during the late Cainozoic.     

Hydrochemical properties of transition zone between fresh groundwater and seawater in karst environment of the Adriatic islands,Croatia

Eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea consists of karstified carbonates. It belongs to the well-known Dinaric karst region. The coast is extremely indented and there are 718 islands with numerous rock crags and reefs. Some of the inhabited islands use their own water resources for public water supply, or plan to do it in the future. Since karst rocks are extremely permeable, the seawater intrudes into underground water resources, thereby forming the wedge. A wide transition zone occurs between this seawater wedge and fresh water aquifers. Consequently, island groundwater reserves turn brackish to a certain extent. In this study, 77 water samples were collected from a wide variety of water resources. Comprehensive statistical and mathematical multivariate analysis of these data was performed. Simple statistical approach showed several useful correlations among some parameters, and more complex multivariate techniques extracted three factors in connection with three natural processes: (1) mixing with the seawater, (2) carbonate dissolution and (3) human influence (pollution) and nitrogen transformation processes. The results of this study demonstrate that in situ measurement of electrical conductivity is adequate for the very rough field estimation of numerous parameters.     

Stage-structured matrix modeling and suggestions for management of atlantic horseshoe crab,Limulus polyphemus, populations on cape cod, massachusetts

The Atlantic horsehoe crab,Limulus polyphemus, is harvested by the biomedical industry for Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) a blood compound used to detect endotoxins, for scientific research on vision, and as bait for the eel and conch fisheries. They are also subject to sources of natural mortality such as consumption of eggs by shorebirds and stranding. Recently there has been growing concern over possible declines inLimulus populations along the east coast of the United States. We have used stage-structured matrix modeling to improve our understanding ofLimulus population dynamics in three Cape Cod estuaries (Stage Harbor, Pleasant Bay, and Barnstable Harbor) with differing harvest pressures. The results suggest that a low level of harvest is sustainable, particularly if timing and size-specificity of the harvest are taken into consideration. The model also suggests that efforts should be made to avoid harvesting crabs prior to sexual maturity, as the population growth rate is more sensitive to changes in survival rate of older juveniles than of other stages. The information the model provides could assist local and regional fisheries managers in establishing appropriate regulations for the horseshoe crab fishery.
