阿拉善高原干涸湖床沉积物与华北地区沙尘暴

文章通过内蒙古阿拉善高原古居延泽干涸湖床沉积物、周缘活动沙丘、沙质草原地表土壤及古代弃荒土地的粒度组成分析,论述干涸湖床沉积物对沙尘天气的影响。古居延泽湖床沉积粒度分析结果表明,干涸湖床的地表湖相沉积物粒径小于10μm的颗粒占64%以上,可以在一般风暴条件下在大气中搬运几千公里,这意味着西北地区干涸湖床产生的粉尘在风暴作用下可以横扫整个东亚北部地区。中国西北地区冬、春季多西北风造成沙尘暴或扬沙天气,西部沙漠、沙地或沙质草场遭遇强风时沙尘被席卷进气流,但其中粗砂粒扬起的高度、搬运的距离有限,当风力稍稍减弱,粗颗粒砂粒沉降,而粉尘继续悬浮运移。当强风途径下一个沙区时新的沙尘加入,沙尘暴呈“接力方式”继续向东南部移动。     

晚第四纪湖泊沉积物盐类与碎屑矿物反相关关系的沉积学解释

湖泊沉积物中矿物组合是古气候环境研究的敏感性指标之一, 充分认识湖泊沉积物中各类矿物组合类型、沉积过程, 对正确解释矿物学指标有重要意义. 我国晚第四纪湖泊沉积记录中, 盐类矿物与碎屑矿物含量普遍存在反相关关系, 影响了矿物组合作为气候指标的解释和应用. 从地球科学的角度正确理解这种关系, 可以为湖泊动力学以及古气候环境定量研究提供重要的科学依据. 选择甘肃民勤盆地石羊河下游终端湖猪野泽不同位置5个全新世剖面, 在明确湖泊沉积物来源、搬运方式和沉积动力机制的基础上, 研究了以碳酸盐矿物为主的盐类矿物含量与粒度指标之间的关系. 结果表明:猪野泽各剖面砂层富含的中砂、细砂沉积物主要是来自于巴丹吉林沙漠和腾格里沙漠的风成砂; 水动力作用主导了湖相沉积层200 μm以下沉积物的沉积, 风力作用对20~70 μm粉砂组分沉积也有所贡献. 同时, 猪野泽湖相沉积层中高含量的碳酸盐主要来自于流水搬运, 湖相沉积层位200 μm以下的粉砂和极细砂是碳酸盐的主要富集区. 综上所述, 干旱区湖泊沉积物中盐类矿物含量与其沉积过程密切相关, 盐类矿物在全球变化研究中的应用要建立在充分研究其沉积动力机制的基础上.     

内蒙古黄旗海全新世湖泊沉积物中Rb 、Sr分布及其环境意义

内蒙古黄旗海 H3剖面中发育黄旗海全新世高湖面时形成的湖相粉砂质沉积。对全样、77~20μ m 粒级、小于20 μm粒级沉积物的 Rb、Sr含量,以及小于20 μ m 粒级样品中碳酸盐矿物种类及含量的测试结果 表明,全新世早、中期形成的湖泊沉积物中,自生富锶文石是Sr在沉积物中含量较高的主要原因。各粒级沉积 物中Rb 、Sr含量与沉积物粒度组成的关系表明：Sr 倾向富集于黏粒 （ ＜4 μ m）中,可能与湖泊自生碳酸盐以泥 晶为主有关,而 Rb倾向富集于 4～28 μ m 颗粒粒级中,可能与其硅酸盐矿物碎化过程的特点有关;Sr 与 Rb存 在粒度效应,且二者粒度效应明显不同。Rb／Sr 与湖泊、流域的诸多过程及沉积物粒度效应有关,在不同湖泊演 化阶段,其具体的环境含义不同,这是湖泊沉积与风化壳的不同之处。     

苏干湖沉积物粒度组成记录尘暴事件的初步研究*

文章通过分析苏干湖表层沉积物、流域表层沉积物、大气降尘以及湖泊冰面囚固碎屑颗粒等的粒度组成,比较了流域地表沉积与湖泊沉积物粒度组成的差异和苏干湖表层沉积粒度组成的空间变化。初步认为苏干湖沉积物粗颗粒组分(>63μm)主要由风力搬运入湖,>63μm组分的含量可以用来指示研究区尘暴事件的演化。结合湖泊沉积岩芯纹层计数年龄,重建的1000年来尘暴演化历史显示,在1210A.D.之前尘暴事件较弱,且变化幅度较小;1210A.D.以来则表现出高频率或者高强度,其中13世纪上半叶以及17世纪的高值段与东部降尘变化历史一致。就气候变化的特征时段(中世纪暖期、小冰期等)而言,尘暴事件主要与气候变冷情况下较强的盛行风场有关;而极端干旱区有效湿度的增加可能有利于地表粉尘的释放,助长了尘暴事件的发生。     

中国北方部分地区黄土、沙漠沙、湖泊、河流细粒沉积物粒度多组分分布特征研究

通过对我国北方部分地区的黄土、沙漠沙、湖泊、河流细粒沉积物的粒度多组分分布特征系统研究后总结了其粒度分布特征及组分间差异,并提出了风成、水成沉积物成因类型的判别依据。认为:1)细粒沉积物粒度一般由多个组分叠加构成,表现为多组分粒度分布特征。2)黄土粉尘粒径以<70 μm的悬浮颗粒为主,粒度由粗、中、细三个组分构成。粗粒组分含量最高,其中值粒径与源区距离呈负相关,中粒组分百分含量与源区距离呈正相关。3)沙漠沙粒度由一个极其明显的粗粒跳跃组分构成,中值粒径一般位于100~300 μm,分选性极好。4)湖泊沉积物粒度分布最多可有6个组分(中值粒径:<1 μm,2~10 μm,10~70 μm,70~150 μm,150~700 μm,>700 μm),前4个组分属悬浮组分,⑤为跳跃组分,⑥为滚动组分,分选性差。5)河流沉积物粒度分布曲线较复杂,其分布特征蕴含了水动力强弱信息。6)沙漠沙→黄土与河流沙→湖泊沉积物其优势组分的粒径均逐渐变细,但水成相对应组分比风成组分粒径要粗.     

粒度端元模型在新疆黄土粉尘来源与古气候研究中的初步应用

基于新疆伊犁盆地肖尔布拉克黄土剖面粒度数据,以贝叶斯粒度端元模型法为主,粒级标准偏差法为辅探寻对气候变化响应敏感的粒级组分及其对粉尘来源示踪和古气候重建的意义。研究结果表明粒度端元组分EM1（众数粒径:21.22 μm）代表大气粉尘中较为稳定的背景值,其含量的变化与高空西风环流强度有关。EM2（75.29 μm）主要代表了近源河流沉积物的悬移搬运组分,可视为较敏感的古气候指标。EM3（47.5 μm）也代表了近距离的悬移搬运组分,可能主要由较粗颗粒对地表的碰撞磨蚀作用而产生。EM2记录了深海氧同位素2阶段（MIS2）以来的北大西洋气候波动事件,如Heinrich事件、YD事件等。贝叶斯粒度端元模型能够区分不同的沉积动力过程,在新疆黄土古气候研究中具有广泛的应用前景。     

浑善达克沙地近50年来风沙活动的湖泊记录

干旱、半干旱地区湖泊沉积物能否有效地记录大气粉尘源区的风沙活动历史对理解沙尘暴发生的气候和环境背景具有重要的意义。对于位于内蒙古浑善达克沙地南缘的夏日淖(湖)近代沉积物进行 137Cs/210Pb定年和沉积学分析显示,碎屑沉积物具有两个明显的粒度组分,其一是与当地沙丘砂粒度分布相同的中细砂组分; 另一为与大气降尘粒度相似的粉砂组分,自1957年以来反映这两个粒度组分相对变化的中值粒径和>63μm砂的含量都具有显著的变化。与浑善达克地区和中国北方气象记录对比发现,沉积物中值粒径和>63μm砂的含量分别与沙尘暴和6m/s风速(或大风)发生频次呈正相关,与温度呈负相关; 最近50年来这些沉积和气候参数具有总体一致的变化。这样的事实说明,夏日淖沉积物主要由风力搬运沉积的,其粒度与风沙活动存在内在联系,粗粒沉积物增加是风沙活动加强的结果。因此,干旱、半干旱地区湖泊中风力搬运的沉积物粒度受风沙活动强度控制,可以成为重建过去风沙活动历史的重要标志。     

乌梁素海湖泊沉积物粒度特征及其环境指示意义

结合放射性同位素测年,在对乌梁素海湖泊沉积物粒度的分析基础上,结合黄河以及河套地区相关文献资料,探讨乌梁素海在自然和人类活动共同作用下的演变过程。乌梁素海沉积物中黏土（<4 μm）平均含量28.7%、细粉砂（4～16 μm）平均含量34.4%、中粉砂（16～32 μm）平均含量17.3%、粗粉砂（32～64 μm）组分平均含量14.1%、砂质组分（>64 μm）含量整体较低,平均含量为5.5%。沉积物不同粒级范围颗粒含量的相关性分析表明,在1965年左右（岩芯深度20 cm）乌梁素海沉积物组分特征发生了明显变化。基于此,结合前期对湖泊沉积物中元素含量特征的分析,利用粒径-标准偏差方法,通过对比黄河泥沙以及流域沉积物的粒度特征,研究了约1965年前后两个时段的沉积物来源。尽管乌梁素海湖泊沉积物主要来源于黄河携带的泥沙以及河套平原灌溉退水携带的大量流域表土侵蚀物质,但同一物源组分在1965年前后这两个不同的演化阶段具有不同的粒级特征。1965年之前,<19.95 μm的粒级组分反映了河套平原灌溉退水携带的流域表层侵蚀物质组分特征,而19.95～181.97 μm的粗颗粒组分反映了黄河径流携带的泥沙,后者决定了乌梁素海沉积物的粒级特征。1965年以来,这两种不同来源组分的粒级变细,灌溉退水携带的流域表土侵蚀物质（<5.71 μm组分）控制了湖泊沉积物的粒度特征,并与总排干入乌梁素海的水量变化、围湖建堤以及扬水站的修建等人类活动强度密切相关。总体来看,上世纪六十年代以来,乌梁素海湖泊沉积物的粒度组成受人类施加的影响已经超越了自然作用的影响。     

巴丹吉林沙漠地区钙质胶结层的发现及其古气候意义

前人的考察研究表明,位于阿拉善高原西部的巴丹吉林沙漠是我国的第三大沙漠,面积近50000kin’。该沙漠的突出特征是高大沙山密集分布,200～300m高的抄丘常见,个别沙山可达500m。整个沙漠地区以流动沙丘为主,沙丘上出现稀疏的喜砂植物。高大沙丘之间有封闭的小湖泊,特别在沙漠的东南部地区湖泊集中分布。     

泥河湾盆地沉积物粒度组分与磁化率变化相关性研究

以泥河湾盆地郝家台剖面为例,分析沉积物粒级组分与磁化率大小变化的相关性。从厚约 12 2m的剖面选取 80 0多个样品,分别测试从 0.2～ 5 0 0 μm各个粒度区间颗粒的百分含量和质量磁化率。通过计算它们之间的相关关系,认为湖相沉积物磁化率的变化与 0.2～ 35 μm间细粒物质的含量,特别是与 0.2～ 7.5 μm区间悬浮物质的含量反相关,而与 35～ 5 0 0 μm间较粗粒物质的含量正相关。这种相关性与顶部的黄土堆积刚好相反,反映了二者之间磁化率不同的变化机制。据此可认为以外源碎屑输入为主的湖泊中,沉积物磁化率的变化主要受控于外源铁磁性矿物,它反映了湖水面的升降,蕴涵着一定的古气候信息。     

Adsorption of copper(II) from aqueous solution by Beidellite

Dry lakes, degraded sandy grasslands, abandoned farmland and mobile dunes which are widely distributed throughout the arid areas of northern China have been investigated in this work. Gain-size distribution of the surface sediments of Manas lake in Junggar basin, Juyan lake in the Alxa plateau, Zhuye lake in Minqin basin and most deserts (such as Mu Us desert, Otindag desert, Horqin desert and Hulun Buir desert) in China have been analyzed. The results show clay with particle sized <10 μm on the surface sediments of dry lakebed and sandy grassland developed from dry lakebed, respectively, account for >60% and ∼50% of the total mass. Since the tiny particles on the surface of abandoned farmland are blown away easily and rapidly, the content of clay particles in Minqin basin is <14%. The grain-size distribution of mobile dunes in northern China mainly consists of particles >63 μm and few particles <10 μm. Consequently, although sand/dust storms originate primarily in the western deserts, the gobi areas of the Alxa plateau, the north and east of Hexi Corridor and in central Mongolia, the widely distributed dry lakebeds, sandy grasslands and abandoned farmland adjacent to the deserts also contribute to aeolian dusts. Hence, the material sources for sand dust storm in East Asia include inland deserts, but also dry lakes, sandy grasslands and abandoned farmland, which are widely distributed throughout the arid inlands of northern China.     

巴丹东、西湖地貌演化及其对湖泊水体特征的影响

巴丹湖区位于巴丹吉林沙漠的东南缘,发育很多被纵向沙垄一分为二、水体化学特征悬殊的双湖系统。前人对此类湖泊成因及风成地貌过程如何影响湖泊水文特征缺乏系统的研究。通过对沙漠东南缘局部风向和巴丹东、西湖湖盆形态的分析反演湖区的地貌演化,从而对湖泊水化学等特征的差异进行解释。水化学测试结果显示：巴丹东湖湖水的TDS为15 g/L左右,为微咸水;西湖的TDS是东湖的上百倍,为盐水。Google Earth遥感影像和DEM反映出巴丹吉林沙漠盛行NW风,东南缘风向及风力多变;巴丹东湖湖盆深于西湖湖盆。反演了巴丹湖地貌演化的3个阶段：(1)月牙湖形成阶段,即巴丹湖的形成阶段;(2)双湖系统形成阶段,气候干旱使湖泊水位降低、湖盆出露,在NW定向风作用下,新的新月形沙丘形成于湖盆上,将其分割从而导致巴丹东湖湖盆遭受风蚀;(3)纵向沙垄形成阶段,由于局部风向的改变,新月形沙丘在SW向风力作用下往NE向不断延伸,并转变成纵向沙垄。综合分析认为：气候变化是风成地貌演化的驱动力,多次风向的改变产生了湖盆地形西高东低的差异,导致东湖接受的浅层地下水补给大于西湖;当气候变得暖湿时,水位上升致两湖水体连通,由于东湖水位高于西湖,使东湖盐分释放、西湖盐分积累。因此,受地貌演化的影响,巴丹东、西湖形成了悬殊的盐度特征。     

我国沙尘的来源、移动路径及对东部海域的影响

利用中国气象局提供的micaps天气资料,通过对2000—2002年发生的42次沙尘天气个例的分析,重点研究了沙尘的源地、移动路径、入海地点及对不同海域的影响概率。结果表明：影响我国的沙尘天气有70%起源于蒙古国,在经过境内沙漠地区时得以加强。沙尘粒子的移动和入海途径主要有3条：一是从内蒙古东部入侵的沙尘天气经浑善达克和科尔沁沙地后进入渤海和黄海;二是从内蒙古西部入侵的沙尘天气经内蒙古西部沙地和黄土高原后进入渤海、黄海和东海;三是从青海东部扬起的沙尘长距离输运进入黄海、东海及西北太平洋。2000—2002年,63.9％的沙尘天气会影响到海洋,其中,影响渤海、黄海和东海的概率分别为27.4％、30.9％和12.3％,影响朝鲜海峡和日本海的概率为20.2％和9.2％。     

Evolution and palaeoenvironment of the Bauru Basin (Upper Cretaceous,Brazil)

The Bauru Basin was one of the great Cretaceous desert basins of the world, evolved in arid zone called Southern Hot Arid Belt. Its paleobiological record consists mainly of dinosaurs, crocodiles and turtles. The Bauru Basin is an extensive region of the South American continent that includes parts of the southeast and south of Brazil, covering an area of 370,000 km². It is an interior continental basin that developed as a result of subsidence of the central-southern part of the South-American Platform during the Late Cretaceous (Coniacian–Maastrichtian). This sag basin is filled by a sandy siliciclastic sequence with a preserved maximum thickness of 480 m, deposited in semiarid to desert conditions. Its basement consists of volcanic rocks (mainly basalts) of the Lower Cretaceous (Hauterivian) Serra Geral basalt flows, of the Paraná-Etendeka Continental Flood Basalt Province. The sag basin was filled by an essentially siliciclastic psammitic sequence. In lithostratigraphic terms the sequence consists of the Caiuá and Bauru groups. The northern and northeastern edges of the basin provide a record of more proximal original deposits, such as associations of conglomeratic sand facies from alluvial fans, lakes, and intertwined distributary river systems. The progressive basin filling led to the burial of the basaltic substrate by extensive blanket sand sheets, associated with deposits of small dunes and small shallow lakes that retained mud (such as loess). Also in this intermediate context between the edges (more humid) and the interior (dry), wide sand sheet areas crossed by unconfined desert rivers (wadis) occurred. In the central axis of the elliptical basin a regional drainage system formed, flowing from northeast to southwest between the edges of the basin and the hot and dry inner periphery of the Caiuá desert (southwest). Life in the Bauru Basin flourished most in the areas with the greatest water availability, in which dinosaurs, crocodiles, turtles, fish, amphibians, molluscs, crustaceans, and charophyte algae lived. The fossil record mainly consists of transported bones and other skeletal fragments. In the northeastern and eastern marginal regions fossils are found in marginal alluvial fan deposits, broad plains of braided streams and ephemeral alkaline water lakes. In the basin interior the fossil record is related to deposits in sand sheets with braided streams, small dunes, and shallow lakes. In the great Caiuá inner desert a few smaller animals could survive (small reptiles and early mammals), sometimes leaving their footprints in dune foreset deposits. The aim of this article is to present and link the basin sedimentary evolution, palaeoecological features and palaeontological record.     

东海内陆架泥区沉积物的环境敏感粒度组分

对东海内陆架泥质沉积区的DD2孔和悬浮体进行了陆源物质提取,应用激光粒度仪做了粒度分析,并分析了DD2孔粒度参数的垂向分布序列。通过计算粒级-标准偏差的变化获得了DD2孔沉积物中对沉积环境变化较为敏感的粒度组分,约 19和 130μm是DD2孔所属区域对沉积环境敏感的粒级,分别对应于东海沿岸流和风暴流沉积动力过程。敏感粒度组分含量随深度变化的分析表明,该孔上段的沉积作用主要受控于沿岸流,沉积环境相对稳定;而下段沉积环境变化大,是风暴流和沿岸流的混合作用沉积的结果。     

Experimental investigation of the height profile of sand-dust fluxes in the 0–50-m layer and the effects of vegetation on dust reduction

The height profile of sand-dust flux at 0–2.0-m has been well studied. However, there have been very few experimental studies in the 0–50-m layer. In this study, the height profile of sand-dust flux at 0–50-m was observed by using three sandstorm observation towers (50 m in height) in 2006. The towers were located at three sites with different vegetation conditions (desert, edge of an oasis, and oasis) in the Minqin region, a typical desert-oasis area in China. At the same time, the features of the underlying vegetation were investigated. Results indicated that in the 0–50-m layer, sand-dust flux decreased rapidly as height rose at the desert and the edge of oasis sites, whereas it increased slightly as height rose in the oasis site. At the three sites sand-dust fluxes at each height increased with wind velocity, and there was a fairly good exponential relationship among them. In 2006, a total of 19 sandstorms occurred. The annual sand-dust that passed through a 1-m-wide, 50-m-high section was 9,169 kg at the desert site, 5,318 kg at the edge of oasis site, and 2,345 kg at the oasis site. Compared with the desert site, the annual sand flux was lower by 42% at the edge of oasis site and 74% at the oasis site. Vegetation had a significant effect in reducing the sand-dust flux.     

巴丹吉林沙漠横向沙山沉积GPR雷达探测研究

应用GPR雷达探测技术对巴丹吉林沙漠东南部呼都格吉林和诺日图两个典型横向沙山迎风坡剖面探测结果表明： GPR雷达探测可以清晰地揭示沙山距地面 20～30m 深度内的沉积构造信息,并可模糊地揭示其下的湿砂层部分信息; 该横向沙山迎风坡地貌与沉积自坡底至坡顶可依次划分为底部湖滨草－灌丛沙堆相、下部单一横向沙丘相、中部复合横向沙丘相、顶部星状沙丘相等类型; 横向沙山迎风坡现代沙丘下伏有相当连续且厚度巨大的沉积序列; 沙山内部存在巨厚持水湿砂层,干、湿砂界面大致平行于沙山表面,其深度在沙山中、上部在 20～30m 深度处变化,在沙山下部接近地表; 沙山内部湿沙水分很可能来自降水,并对沙山发育起着重要支持作用; 湖泊水可能主要来自沙山内部水分下渗迁移; 沙山间湖泊可能是沙山或沙漠发育到一定阶段的必然产物。     

Regional characteristics of dust storms observed in the Alxa Plateau of China from 1961 to 2005

The Alxa Plateau has one of the highest frequencies of dust events in China and one of the greatest contributions to East Asian dust. We compiled climate and dust storm data for the Alxa Plateau based on observational data from ten meteorological stations from 1960 to 2005. Our analysis showed that Guaizihu and Minqin dust centers had >26 days per year with dust storms versus 7–13 days for other desert and Gobi regions on the plateau. Variations in dust storm frequency during the study period showed that dust storms increased during the 1960s (until 1972), decreased until the late 1990s, and then increased slightly until 2002. About 75.6% of dust storms occurred in March, April, May, June, and July. Between 78.2 and 88.1% of the dust storms occurred during the daytime and 28.9% of the dust storms occurred between 13:00 and 16:00. The mean durations of dust storms in the Alxa Plateau ranged from 715 to 3,462 min. The annual number of minutes of dust storms averaged >1,800 min in the western Alxa Plateau. Dust storm frequency was inversely related to duration: the longer the average duration, the lower the frequency of such storms.
