青藏高原冈底斯当穹错-许如错一带新近纪-第四纪地堑的基本特征

新近纪以来,印度板块-欧亚板块碰撞期后和抬升阶段发育的新构造和"老构造"的活化,在青藏高原冈底斯-念青唐古拉板片中主要表现为一系列南北向展布的张性构造带和北东、北西向展布的走滑断层,尤以南北向张性构造带活动最为明显,也是现今仍具强烈活动特点的构造带.当穹错-许如错南北向断裂带就是其中之一,由其控制的当穹错-许如错新近纪-第四纪地堑,南北长约190km,东西宽5～25 km,由当穹错、当惹雍错、许如错3个子盆地组成.盆缘断裂的形成始于新近纪,第四纪全新世仍有活动,由差异升降导致盆地沉积中心在地堑中自南往北具有由东→西→东的变化趋势,地震、地热等活动南强北弱,反映了青藏高原具整体有限隆升、局部差异升降、新构造活动南强北弱的特点.     

西藏冈底斯当惹雍错-许如错南北向地堑的特征及成因

当惹雍错-许如错南北向地堑位于青藏高原冈底斯中部, 由一组南北向高角度正断层与夹其中间的当穹错、当惹雍错、许如错等3个湖泊盆地构成.地堑发育于中新世晚期, 一直活动到全新世.沿着地堑边缘分布中新世碱性火山岩.白榴石响岩的K-Ar年龄为12.6Ma, 其岩石化学特征显示出陆内伸展构造环境.地堑内部发育晚更新世至全新世的湖相沉积物.当惹雍错-许如错地堑是在青藏高原板内构造隆升过程中, 层流加厚的下地壳热垫作用导致上地壳发生伸展作用, 随着青藏高原地壳物质的东流, 南北向伸展作用转向东西向伸展作用, 形成近南北走向的地堑.      

青藏高原东北缘新近纪晚期构造挤出：来自西秦岭地区安化-成县盆地的证据

西秦岭位于青藏高原东北缘由挤压走滑向走滑伸展构造的转换地带,成为研究青藏高原晚新生代构造扩展过程的重要构造部位。在西秦岭地区发育的一系列新近纪盆地作为高原物质向外扩展的载体,记录了扩展过程中不同阶段的构造活动和演化信息。文中选择位于成县-太白山断裂内的安化-成县盆地,通过对该盆地沉积过程与构造变形方面的详细研究,确定了盆地在新近纪晚期的两阶段构造演化历史。早期受迭部-白龙江、成县-太白山弧形断裂左行走滑的影响,在弧顶及以东位置发生走滑伸展,形成长条形的地堑半地堑盆地。同期沿青川断裂、西秦岭北缘断裂、礼县-罗家堡断裂以及西和断裂分别形成了汉中盆地、武山盆地、天水盆地以及西和盆地。这些走滑断裂向东扩展可能控制了渭河地堑约9 Ma以来的NWSE向伸展,并伴随华山、太白山以及西秦岭东段10~4 Ma的快速隆升。在4.2~2.5 Ma期间,受断裂运动学调整的影响,西秦岭地区新近纪盆地遭受挤压而发生构造反转。新近纪盆地的形成与反转历史清楚地记录了青藏高原东北缘新近纪晚期向东构造挤出的过程。     

西藏冈底斯东段南北向构造特征与成因

西藏冈底斯东段位于青藏高原冈底斯-念青唐古拉板片中段,限定于班公湖-怒江板块缝合带和雅鲁藏布江板块缝合带之间的中生代构造盆地.盆地南北向张性断裂带是板块超碰撞期活动最强烈的构造带.地震、地热和岩浆活动以及控制的线性地貌十分明显.南北向构造带的南北向延伸、东西向展布、切割深度、活动强度的规律性和差异性,充分反映了新构造活动期高原隆升过程中地壳褶缩叠覆、物质侧向滑移和弹滞应变的构造活动特点.

中国东部陆缘中区中-新生代区域断裂系统时空分布特征、迁移规律及成因类型

中国东部陆缘中区中-新生代深大断裂十分发育.根据断裂的时空分布规律,可划分出4个断裂系:燕山造山带断裂系、秦岭-大别-苏鲁造山带断裂系、郯庐断裂系及东海陆架盆地-冲绳海槽断裂系.4个断裂系具有各自不同的断裂迁移规律:燕山造山带印支-燕山期断裂具有从早至晚从EW→NE→NNE向偏转迁移规律;秦岭-大别造山带北麓逆冲推覆作用的强度在印支-燕山早期表现出南强北弱、东强西弱和东断西褶趋势,同时具有由东向西由早到晚穿时迁移演化特征,燕山末期-喜山早期则相反,表现出北强南弱、西强东弱的构造特征;郯庐断裂系的活动对盆地的控制作用具有由早到晚由西向东、由南向北迁移规律;东海陆架盆地-冲绳海槽断裂的形成时代具有明显的从西向东越来越新的迁移规律.4个断裂系及构造迁移规律分别是板块碰撞-陆内俯冲、陆内造山、走滑、板块俯冲后退4种不同地球动力学背景中的产物.     

青藏高原与南北向地堑相关的火成岩:对地堑成因的制约

南北向地堑(或称裂谷、正断层系)是青藏高原最显著的地貌特征之一,在高原南部可见有六条代表性的近南北向的地堑,其从两向东依次是亚热裂谷、塔口拉-隆格尔裂谷、当若雍错-许如错裂谷(古错-文部裂谷)、定结-申扎裂谷、亚东-羊八井裂谷和错那裂谷等,已有的研究显示,这些南北向地堑的形成从18 Ma(最早可能23 Ma?)延续到现代.

西秦岭北缘构造带的新生代构造活动——兼论对青藏高原东北缘形成过程的指示意义

西秦岭北缘构造带是青藏高原东北部一条重要的北西西向构造带,它由一组近于平行的断裂组成,中部发育活动的左旋走滑断裂,两侧发育向外扩展的多条逆冲断裂,剖面上呈向北偏心的花状构造。自古近纪中晚期以来西秦岭北缘构造带成为青藏高原早期的北东边界,其新生代构造活动控制了两侧的新生代盆地沉积演化和构造变形。在构造带南侧滩歌盆地自古近纪中晚期堆积了一套厚度较大的砾岩和砂岩地层,但未见新近纪地层;沿西秦岭北缘构造带中部在中新世形成具有剪切拉张性质的武山—漳县盆地,沉积了厚度超过千米的砾岩、砂岩和泥岩序列;在构造带北侧陇西盆地从古近纪中晚期至中新世晚期一直处于前陆盆地发育阶段,沉积了连续的新生代地层序列。在中新世晚期以后,整个构造带遭受挤压变形,逆冲活动强烈,中部的武山—漳县盆地和北侧的陇西盆地相继消亡,新生代地层发生强烈构造变形,位于构造带南侧的滩歌盆地也同时发生轻微缩短变形。第四纪晚期以来西秦岭北缘构造带断裂活动主要表现为左旋走滑运动方式,而逆冲断裂活动则迁移到了北东方向的海原断裂和香山—天景山断裂(又称中卫—同心断裂)等构造带之上,实现了大区域范围内的应变分配。

利用三维建模软件获取了塔北隆起-库车坳陷区现今及不同时期基底构造格局，为基底构造分析提供了新的技术方法。研究表明，三叠纪-古近纪，塔里木盆地北部块体的基底构造基本处于稳定状态，基底-盖层构造变形不明显；新近纪，克拉苏背斜带以北的塔里木盆地基底明显向天山倾斜，库车基底俯冲变形导致基底转折带逐渐向南迁移，库车前陆盆地形成；第四纪时期，库车-拜城盆地的基底整体向天山下倾斜，基底构造的强转折带迁移到塔北隆起带；新近纪以来库车坳陷的基底转折期与塔北隆起盖层的负反转构造形成期在时间上一致，在空间上，库车坳陷的基底在强烈沉降俯冲的同时，相邻塔北隆起的基底相对隆起，形成库车新生代前陆盆地的前隆；库车前陆冲断带的形成是在库车基底斜坡上伴随天山的推覆而形成的；塔北隆起为库车前陆盆地的前隆，基底俯冲变形及其转折带迁移导致塔北隆起盖层负反转构造的形成。     

Police, politics, and the right to the city

Space and spatiality have recently been at the core of debates concerning the political possibilities of the city. The arguments advanced in this paper might be seen as an attempt to contribute to these debates through a reflection on the spatiality of (in) justice, politics, and the right to the city. The case of French urban policy, with its focus on distressed urban areas, and the `suburban problem' in France are used as examples to make arguments more concrete.     

Rb-Sr, K-Ar, H-and O-Isotope systematics of the Middle Riphean shales from the Debengda Formation, the Olenek Uplift, North Sibera

Clay subfractions (SFs) of <0.1, 0.1–0.2, 0.2–0.3, 0.3–0.6, 0.6–2 and 2–5 μm separated from Middle Riphean shales of the Debengda Formation are studied using the TEM, XRD, K-Ar and Rb-Sr isotopic methods. The oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions in the SFs are studied as well. The low-temperature illite-smectite is dominant mineral in all the SFs except for the coarsest ones. The XRD, chemical and isotopic data imply that two generations of authigenic illite-smectite different in age are mixed in the SFs. The illite crystallinity index decreases in parallel with size diminishing of clay particles. As compared to coarser SFs, illite of fine-grained subfractions is enriched in Al relative to Fe and Mg, contains more K, and reveals higher K/Rb and Rb/Sr ratios. The Rb-Sr age calculated by means of the leachochron (“inner isochron”) method declines gradually from 1254-1272 Ma in the coarsest SFs to 1038-1044 Ma in finest ones, while the K-Ar age decreases simultaneously from 1225–1240 to 1080 Ma. The established positive correlation of δ¹⁸O and δD values with dimensions of clay particles in the SFs seems to be also consistent with the mixing systematics. The isotopic systematics along with data on mineral composition and morphology lead to the conclusion that mixedlayer illite-smectite was formed in the Debengda shales during two periods 1211–1272 and 1038–1080 Ma ago. The first period is likely close to the deposition time of sediments and corresponds to events of burial catagenesis, whereas the second one is correlative with the regional uplift and changes in hydrological regime during the pre-Khaipakh break in sedimentation.     

Isotopic systematics of He,Ar, S,Cu, Ni,Re, Os,Pb, U,Sm, Nd,Rb, Sr,Lu, and Hf in the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits

This paper reports the first results of a study of 11 isotope systems (³He/⁴He, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar, ³⁴S/³²S, ⁶⁵Cu/⁶³Cu, ⁶²Ni/⁶⁰Ni, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, ^206–208Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, Hf–Nd, U–Pb, and Re–Os) in the rocks and ores of the Cu–Ni–PGE deposits of the Norilsk ore district. Almost all the results were obtained at the Center of Isotopic Research of the Karpinskii All-Russia Research Institute of Geology. The use of a number of independent genetic isotopic signatures and comprehensive isotopic knowledge provided a methodic basis for the interpretation of approximately 5000 isotopic analyses of various elements. The presence of materials from two sources, crust and mantle, was detected in the composition of the rocks and ores. The contribution of the crustal source is especially significant in the paleofluids (gas–liquid microinclusions) of the ore-forming medium. Crustal solutions were probably a transport medium during ore formation. Air argon is dominant in the ores, which indicates a connection between the paleofluids and the atmosphere. This suggests intense groundwater circulation during the crystallization of ore minerals. The age of the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits was determined. The stage of orebody formation is restricted to a narrow age interval of 250 ± 10 Ma. An isotopic criterion was proposed for the ore-bearing potential of mafic intrusions in the Norilsk–Taimyr region. It includes several interrelated isotopic ratios of various elements: He, Ar, S, and others.     

Influences of the unsaturated,saturated, and riparian zones on the transport of nitrate near the Merced River,California, USA

Transport and transformation of nitrate was evaluated along a 1-km groundwater transect from an almond orchard to the Merced River, California, USA, within an irrigated agricultural setting. As indicated by measurements of pore-water nitrate and modeling using the root zone water quality model, about 63% of the applied nitrogen was transported through a 6.5-m unsaturated zone. Transport times from recharge locations to the edge of a riparian zone ranged from approximately 6 months to greater than 100 years. This allowed for partial denitrification in horizons having mildly reducing conditions, and essentially no denitrification in horizons with oxidizing conditions. Transport times across a 50–100-m-wide riparian zone of less than a year to over 6 years and more strongly reducing conditions resulted in greater rates of denitrification. Isotopic measurements and concentrations of excess N₂ in water were indicative of denitrification with the highest rates below the Merced River. Discharge of water and nitrate into the river was dependent on gradients driven by irrigation or river stage. The results suggest that the assimilative capacity for nitrate of the groundwater system, and particularly the riverbed, is limiting the nitrate load to the Merced River in the study area.     

扬子北缘马元铅锌矿床闪锌矿微量元素及S-Pb-He-Ar-C同位素地球化学研究

马元铅锌矿床是近年扬子陆块北缘铅锌找矿的新突破。矿体呈层状、似层状产于碑坝隆起翼部震旦系灯影组角砾状白云岩层间构造带中,围岩蚀变很弱。矿石中硫化物以闪锌矿、方铅矿为主,中粗粒晶质结构,充填于白云岩角砾间。闪锌矿富集Cd、Ge、Ag,贫In、Tl、Se,Ga/In为6~132,Ge/In多1000,成矿温度以中-低温为主。金属硫化物ε~(34)S值相对集中,为12.9‰~19.4‰,平均为17.4‰,来自于海相硫酸盐的还原。铅同位素组成稳定,~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb为17.858~17.918:~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb为15.603~15.694;~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb为37.756~38.046,具有造山带和上地壳铅的特征,震旦系可能提供了金属成矿物质。闪锌矿中流体包裹体的~3He/~4He为0.03Ra~1.05Ra,~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar为326.1~765.1,~(38)Ar/~(36)Ar为0.183~0.204,表明成矿流体主要为地壳流体和饱和大气水(大气降水或海水)的混合。闪锌矿内流体包裹体挥发分δ~(13)C_(CH_4)值为-36.01‰~-28.80‰,δ~(13)C_(C_2H_6)值为-27.72‰~-22.44‰,δ~(13)C_(CO_2)值为-23.24‰~-9.68‰,表明有机流体参与了成矿作用。石英、方解石的H-O同位素结果表明具有海水和有机水混合的特征。可见,成矿流体具有两种流体混合的特征,一为蒸发海水与围岩反应所形成的盆地卤水,二为有机流体。推测矿区可能存在一个古油气藏,由于TSR生成一高硫气藏,为区内还原性有机流体的主要来源。当富含Pb、Zn等成矿物质的成矿流体运移至富含CH_4和H_2S的还原性流体的矿区角砾岩带时,两种流体混合,Pb、Zn等遇到H_2S发生反应而沉淀成矿,并伴生热液白云石等,形成了马元铅锌矿床。综上所述,我们认为马元矿床属MVT型铅锌矿床。

Breakthroughs in the biodiversity, biogeography, biostratigraphy, and basin analysis of the Beaufort group

Over the past decade researchers working on the rocks of the Beaufort Group in the main Karoo Basin of South Africa have vastly increased our understanding of this important Permo-Triassic sequence. Many new fossil forms have been discovered, allowing for breakthroughs into the biodiversity, biogeography and biostratigraphy of the group. Taxonomic and phylogenetic advances are many and varied, and cover most of the vertebrate taxa, but with emphasis placed on the temnospondyl amphibians, archosauriforms and non-mammalian synapsids, in particular the anomodontia. Biostratigraphic breakthroughs have centered on the Middle Permian Eodicynodon and Tapinocephalus assemblage zones, the Late Permian Dicynodon Assemblage Zone, and the Triassic Lystrosaurus and Cynognathus assemblage zones. Correlation of these biozones with better dated sequences in Europe, Russia and China has allowed for many chronostratigraphic refinements, which are in turn vital for sequence stratigraphical analysis of the basin fill. Based on fossil data, both the lower (Ecca–Beaufort) and upper (Beaufort–Molteno) contacts of the group have been proved to be highly diachronous. The refined chronostratigraphic framework has also allowed for a better analysis of the basin evolution through time, particularly in terms of the correlation of external stimuli that affect basin sedimentation patterns.     

Delivery of Trace Metals (Al,Fe, Mn,V, Co,Ni, Cu,Cd, Ag,Pb) from the Trinity River Watershed Towards the Ocean

The Trinity River (Texas, USA) contains in its watershed 23 different reservoir lakes, the largest one being Lake Livingston situated in the lower Trinity River watershed and two potentially polluting metroplexes, Dallas and Houston. In order to determine fluxes of nutrients and trace metals to Galveston Bay, a survey that included 24 discreet samples collected over a year and at various stages of discharge was carried out during 2000–2001. Geochemical (i.e., sorption by Fe oxyhydroxides), biological (i.e., seasonal uptake by sinking algae in Lake Livingston), and hydrological (i.e., dilution effects by increasing flow rates) controls were found to be mainly responsible for variations in dissolved trace metal concentrations rather than pollution sources. The Trinity River loads of suspended sediments and pollutant trace metals entering Galveston Bay at Anahuac were <20% of those reaching Lake Livingston, and only a few percent of the total upstream trace metal load is entering the Gulf of Mexico. Thus, during the transit through the 23 man-made lakes and an estuary, >96% of the pollutant trace metal load is lost to sediments.     

深港西部通道填海区地下水铜、钒、铊、镉、钨迁移的实验研究

填海工程使滨海地区的地下水物理化学条件改变,导致该区域地下水中重金属浓度升高。本文以深港西部通道填海区为例,采用实验室模拟填海条件的办法,初步探讨了影响填海区地下水重金属迁移的关键因素。模拟实验结果表明,填海区地下水中钨元素含量升高与地下水淡化、淤泥氧化过程以及填料风化有关;铜元素含量升高则与淤泥氧化过程以及填料风化有关;钒元素含量升高与地下水淡化和淤泥氧化过程有关,而其他元素含量升高则主要与填料风化释放有关。
