Possible refugia for reefs in times of environmental stress

This paper investigates the refuge potential of (1) upwelling areas, (2) coral areas at medium depth, and (3) offshore bank and island reefs in a scenario of increased global warming, and thus increased sea surface temperature (SST) and increased solar UV radiation. (1) Observations on coral health and water temperature in the subtropical Atlantic (Eleuthera and Cat Island, Bahamas) and Indian Ocean (Sodwana Bay, South Africa) suggest a link between cool water delivered by upwelling and coral health. After the 1998 bleaching event, caused by strong SST anomalies, coral health and recovery from the previous year's bleaching was significantly better on the narrow southern Cat Island shelf (70% of corals healthy) where the presence of cold water was observed, which was attributed to small-scale upwelling, than on the wide northern Eleuthera shelf (44% of corals healthy), where downwelling of hot bank waters was believed to have damaged corals. In South Africa, regular, short-term upwelling events in five summers reduced SST to well below bleaching level. (2) In the northern Red Sea (Safaga Bay) and in South Africa (Sodwana Bay), wide areas with either coral frameworks or non-framework communities exist. Calculations show that if the top 10 m (20 m) of the ocean became inhospitable to corals, still 50.4% (17.5%) of the coral area would remain intact in the Red Sea and 99% (40%) in South Africa. (3) Offshore bank and island reefs investigated in the Turks, Caicos, and Mouchoir Banks and Grand and Little Cayman showed high rates of mortality and coral diseases. The most remote sites (Mouchoir Bank) were not the healthiest. Refuge areas appear to exist in (1) and (2), but in (3) only if vigorous water-circulation is encountered.     

岩溶水锶元素水文地球化学特征

通过对桂林地区地下河系统不同类型岩溶水水样Sr2+ 含量和87 Sr /86 Sr 值分析,得到如下结论: ( 1)桂林地区岩溶水中Sr2+ 含量普遍较低,流经不同岩层的地下水Sr2+ 含量不同,岩溶水中Sr2+ 含量随着Ca2+ 含量的增大而增大,随着Mg2+含量的增大而减小;地下河水中的Sr2+ 含量始终介于表层岩溶带水、饱水带裂隙水、地表坡面流和外源水(如果存在外源水补给)的最大、最小值之间。( 2)流经不同岩层地下水的87 Sr /86 Sr值不同,流经砂岩层地下水87 Sr /86 Sr 值较高,其次为流经白云岩层和灰岩层的地下水;地下河水87 Sr /86 Sr 值也是介于表层岩溶带水、饱水带裂隙水、地表坡面流和外源水(如果有外源水补给)的最大、最小值之间。因此Sr2+和87 Sr /86 Sr能反映岩溶水形成的信息,是较理想的天然示踪剂,在岩溶水研究中具有很广阔的应用前景。      

榴辉岩常用温压计在应用中应注意的问题

本文通过再现相平衡实验数据和检查热力学活度模型两种手段,对榴辉岩中几种常用的温压计进行了检验,发现榴辉岩中某些常用温压计存在以下问题:(1)在 Eliis and Green(1979)、Powell(1985)、Krogh(1988)和 Ravna(2000)四种石榴石-单斜辉石温度计中只有 Ravna(2000)的版本能较好的再现相平衡实验数据。(2)将石榴石-单斜辉石温度计应用于含 X_(Jd)>0.55绿辉石的榴辉岩中会出现很大的误差。(3)Green and Hellman(1982)的石榴石-多硅白云母温度计计算的高压含多硅白云母榴辉岩变质温度普遍偏高,但是计算超高压榴辉岩的结果能较好的与 Ravna(2000)的石榴石-单斜辉石温度计计算结果保持一致。(4)Waters and Martin(1993)的石榴石-单斜辉石-多硅白云母压力计、Ravna and Terry(2004)的石榴石-单斜辉石-多硅白云母-蓝晶石-柯石英/石英温压计的精度都受到了 Holland(1990)的单斜辉石活度模型的限制,它们不能适用于绿辉石 X_(Jd)>0.55的榴辉岩,而 Waters and Manin(1996)对 Waters and Martin(1993)的版本做了一个经验校正,弥补了单斜辉石活度模型的缺陷,因此可以适用于绿辉石 X_(Jd)>0.55的榴辉岩。(5)Nakamura and Banno(1997)的石榴石-绿辉石-蓝晶石-柯石英温压计因运用了不恰当的石榴石和铁钙辉石的活度模型,从而使得计算结果与岩相学观察结果不一致。因此,我们建议:对于绿辉石 X_(Jd)<0.55的多硅白云母榴辉岩,可以运用 Waters and Martin(1993)压力计和 Ravna(2000)的温度计联合求解温压;对于含高硬玉组分(X_(Jd)>0.55)绿辉石的超高压多硅白云母榴辉岩,可选用 Waters and Martin(1996)压力计和 Green andHellman(1982)的温度计联合求解温压;对于含有石榴石 绿辉石 蓝晶石 柯石英矿物组合的榴辉岩,在 X_(Jd)<0.55的情况下。可选用 Ravna and Terry(2004)的温压计求解温压。在应用这些温压计时,应注意各温压计的适用温压范围和成分范围,尤其是石榴石 X_(Jd)、Mg~#和绿辉石 X_(Jd)的范围。另外,由于矿物中 Fe~(3 )的含量对温度计算结果影响很大,所以还必须合理地校正所选矿物的 Fe~(3 )。     

西藏冲江铜矿含矿岩体与非含矿岩体区分探讨

冲江铜矿位于世界三大斑岩成矿域的特提斯-喜马拉雅成矿域,其大地构造位置属冈底斯-念青唐古拉构造带的冈底斯陆缘火山-岩浆弧中部。矿区含矿岩体与非含矿岩体的岩性相同,很难通过肉眼或常规分析方法把它们区分开来。热释光测试结果表明,矿区岩石的热释光曲线有单峰和双峰两种,矿化主要发生在具单峰的似斑状二长花岗岩中。岩石矿化程度越强,热释光总积分强度值越小。另外,高岭土化对岩石天然热释光有叠加作用,具高岭土化的岩石明显具有更高的热释光值,且高岭土化与矿化成负相关。因此,热释光值可作为判断矿化的一个岩石标型。石英粒度统计也表明,含矿岩体的石英粒度曲线呈韵律式变化,而不含矿的岩石粒度曲线呈渐进式变化。故岩石中的石英粒度也可作为矿化的一个矿物标型。

通过对大别造山带前陆北淮阳地区石炭纪高煤级煤的X射线荧光光谱分析,探讨了不同变形-变质类型煤中常量元素的分布规律及其影响因素。结果表明:构造-热作用具有使Al3+、K+、Si4+、Ti4+在煤体中富集,P5+、Fe2++Fe3+、Mn2+Na+、Ca2+、Mg2+向煤体外迁移的趋势;在弱应力带富集Al3+、K+、Ti4+、Na+、Ca2+;在强应力带富集Si4+、P5+、Fe2++Fe3+、Mg2+。岩浆热变质类型煤和构造-热变质类型煤的w(SiO₂)/w(Al₂O₃)和w(K₂O)/w(Na₂O)值显著增大,与岩浆岩中SiO₂及K₂O质量分数偏高有重要的成因联系。      

豫西熊耳山Ag、Ag-Pb、Au、Mo及Pb矿床 (点)的空间分布特征及找矿启示

对豫西熊耳山121个Ag、Ag-Pb、Au、Mo及Pb矿床(点)的空间分布特征进行了分析,并在此基础上探讨了熊耳山地区找矿潜力区。在经度方向上,它们集中于熊耳山的东、西两端,而在中部(111.45°~111.50°和111.60°~111.65°)出现两个矿床频数低值;在纬度方向上,矿化主要集中分布于34.10°~34.25°的中部地带。121个矿床(点)的高程(采矿平硐海拔高度)集中分布于600~750 m、800~1 050 m和1 100~1 200 m三个高程区间内,熊耳山东、西两端大型Ag-Pb、Au和Mo矿床的高程大致相当。121个矿床(点)组成了6条矿化种类各异和走向不同的矿化条带,分别为近NW向的Ag及Ag-Pb矿化条带(M1)和Au(Mo、Pb)矿化条带(M3)、近NE向的Au(Mo、Pb)矿化条带(M2)、近EW的Pb-Au(Mo)矿化条带(M4)、近NNW向的Au矿化条带(M5)和近NS向的Au(Mo、Pb)矿化条带(M6),其走向均与区域以及矿床控矿构造的走向大致相当。121个矿床(点)在空间三个投影面中均遵循分形丛集分布,并且存在两个无标度网格区,显示了多重分形的特征,发现熊耳山矿集区的分布具有约10 km等间距的特征,并结合透岩浆流体成矿理论对熊耳山地区进一步的成矿潜力区进行了分析。     

北京市区春季燃烧源大气颗粒物的污染水平和影响因素

以大气中PM2.5和PM10为研究对象,于2005-03-13—25共7天的时间内,在中国地质大学(北京)测试楼顶、首钢焦化厂和首钢东门设立3个采样点进行采样监测。结果表明:PM2.5和PM10质量浓度的日变化呈现一定规律性,在不同时段PM2.5和PM10的质量浓度不尽相同,且变化较大,在特定时刻出现峰值,主要受污染源排放和气象因素的控制;PM2.5和PM10质量浓度随气温的升高而降低,这与高温有利于颗粒物扩散、低温容易形成逆温层有关;在一定的相对湿度范围内(以大气中水汽不发生重力沉降为界限),PM2.5和PM10质量浓度与相对湿度呈正相关关系;而当发生降水时,由于水滴的冲刷和附带作用,PM2.5和PM10质量浓度降低;PM2.5和PM10质量浓度与风级呈明显的负相关关系。通过北京市与国内8个省会城市的PM2.5和PM10质量浓度的对比,发现北京市PM2.5和PM10污染比较严重,PM2.5和PM10质量浓度分别超过了1996年中国制定的PM10排放标准和1997年美国EPA制定的PM2.5排放标准。

山东济阳坳陷二氧化碳气成藏模式分析

山东济阳坳陷CO2气藏类型众多,成藏模式存在多样性。根据CO2气藏组分含量和同位素的分析结果,发现济阳坳陷CO2气藏以幔源成因为主,岩浆气源体是最重要的CO2气源体,火山岩体、火山通道和岩浆气源体附近的断裂对CO2气的运移成藏起关键作用。通过卸压条件下CO2的运移、CO2在断裂(裂缝)中的运移、CO2在孔隙—裂缝双重介质中的运移、CO2在砂质沉积物中的运移等一系列实验模拟,研究岩浆释出CO2气的运移成藏过程。结合已知气藏的运移成藏地质过程,建立济阳坳陷CO2气藏的3种地质模式,即侵入体—断裂—储集层转折成藏模式、侵入体—储集层直接成藏模式和埋藏火山通道—储集层直接成藏模式,为济阳坳陷CO2气成藏研究及其综合勘探奠定基础。

Implications of climatic variability and climate change for water resources availability and management in West Africa

The paper examines: (a) trends in climatic variations and variability with particular emphasis on rainfall (b) the characteristics of climatic events, including floods and droughts, (c) seasonal variations in river flows, (d) mean annual trends in river flows and discharges, (e) local variations of extremes of rainfall and river discharges, (f) the effects of climatic variability and climate change on ground water variations, (g) the problems of acute shortage of freshwater, and (h) the prevalence of water stress whose characteristics would be worsened with the projected impacts of climate change. The results show that: (i) there are a lot of spatial and temporal variations in the characteristics of rainfall and the hydrological systems locally and regionally, although in general, there have been downward trends in rainfall and increases in water deficits and drought events, (ii) that flood events, which also have impacted adversely in many parts of the region, have also been witnessed. The paper then produces projections for future urban and rural water supplies in Nigeria, which is an epitome of West Africa and examines the two main categories of adaptation measures needed to improve water management, namely, those involving the water supply and water demand systems in the study region. Finally, the paper discusses the need to address a number of mechanisms for implementation of the various adaptation measures including: (a) building capacity and manpower, (b) promoting education and public awareness, (c) public participation and the involvement of stakeholders, (d) the establishment of both national and regional co-operation, and (e) the need for climatic and other environmental data collection and monitoring.

Identification of trends in rainfall,rainy days and 24 h maximum rainfall over subtropical Assam in Northeast India

Trends in rainfall, rainy days and 24 h maximum rainfall are investigated using the Mann-Kendall non-parametric test at twenty-four sites of subtropical Assam located in the northeastern region of India. The trends are statistically confirmed by both the parametric and non-parametric methods and the magnitudes of significant trends are obtained through the linear regression test. In Assam, the average monsoon rainfall (rainy days) during the monsoon months of June to September is about 1606 mm (70), which accounts for about 70% (64%) of the annual rainfall (rainy days). On monthly time scales, sixteen and seventeen sites (twenty-one sites each) witnessed decreasing trends in the total rainfall (rainy days), out of which one and three trends (seven trends each) were found to be statistically significant in June and July, respectively. On the other hand, seventeen sites witnessed increasing trends in rainfall in the month of September, but none were statistically significant. In December (February), eighteen (twenty-two) sites witnessed decreasing (increasing) trends in total rainfall, out of which five (three) trends were statistically significant. For the rainy days during the months of November to January, twenty-two or more sites witnessed decreasing trends in Assam, but for nine (November), twelve (January) and eighteen (December) sites, these trends were statistically significant. These observed changes in rainfall, although most time series are not convincing as they show predominantly no significance, along with the well-reported climatic warming in monsoon and post-monsoon seasons may have implications for human health and water resources management over bio-diversity rich Northeast India.
