Holocene strata along the coastal area of eastern Guangdong

The data of about 1700 drill holes are correlated, of which 47 drill sections are discussed comprehensively for chronology and sedimentology, and the characteristics and changes of sporo-pollen are analysed. The authors consider that the Holocene strata along the coast of eastern Guangdong can be divided into five formations. The Holocene began 12 000 years ago; the fluvial facies gravel, the striped weathered clay and the "old red sand" serves as the boundary between the Holocene and the Pleistocene.     

福建深沪湾潮间带全新世有孔虫及其环境意义

本文对深沪湾西部潮间带表层沉积物和两个钻孔岩芯共30个样品的有孔虫组成进行了定性和定量分析。结果表明，表层沉积物中有孔虫群分布规律明显，随着离岸向海越远，水深越大，有孔虫娄量从1倍数上升到5位数，种数为9-69种，多变度V31-44，复合分异度H（s)3.25-3.25。从钻孔岩芯中的全新世有孔虫群特征可看出，中全新世以来海面升降和海洋环境可分为2个阶段：（1）海水初到钻孔位置，有孔虫数量和种数较少，分异度不高，海相性程度较低。（2）后期（埋深1.8m和2.0m以浅），海面有所升高，变为潮间带（高潮位→中潮位→低潮位）环境。     

渤海地区全新世孢粉序列及古环境演化

通过对取自黄河口外泥质区的BH-264孔的沉积孢粉进行分析,对渤海地区全新世古植被和古环境演化历史进行了恢复。在早全新世(距今9.5~7.6 ka)渤海地区气候温暖湿润,在陆缘海滨地带出现大量沼泽湿地,上面生长着莎草和香蒲等植被,在周围的山地、丘陵和平原地区植被以松属和落叶栎属为主,并伴生着桦木属、榆科、桑科等树种;在中全新世(距今7.6~5.8 ka)温度的升高和海平面上升,使BH-264孔沉积孢粉中松属占主导地位,不利于远距离传播的草本植物花粉含量降为全新世最低值;在距今5.8 ka以后东亚夏季风减弱和降雨量减少导致渤海西部陆源海滨地带植被以旱生草本藜科、蒿属和菊属为主,黄河三角洲的形成缩短了研究区的离岸距离,使这些草本植物花粉易于传播到BH-264孔中沉积。     

渤海天津近岸海域水污染特征分析

渤海是一个半封闭的陆架边缘海,是受沿岸人为活动影响最为明显的海域之一[1].陆源污染物的大量排放导致渤海湾局部海域“赤潮”频繁发生,范围不断扩大,自1996年以来共发生了13次“赤潮”,多数发生在7~8月间[2],海域水体富营养化是本海区的主要环境问题[3].

南海地区全新世高海平面遗迹高程的区域差异问题

本文较全面地列举南海地区6500～5000a(BP)期间的古海平面遗迹，共61个实例，其中正高程的或高程为0m的有45例．这些遗迹的现存高程差异很大，主要是受构造升降运动的影响．按照遗迹高程的分布，可分为5个区域，台湾为高程最大值。巽他群岛居其次，中南半岛和马来半岛居第三位，华南沿海的高程较小，南海海盆为最小值．负高程的实例主要分布在五大三角洲地区．     

Complex sedimentation of the Holocene mud deposits in a ria-type coastal area,eastern Korea Strait

The innermost shelf of the eastern Korea Strait is a ria-type coastal sea comprising islands, intervening passageways and embayments. A detailed analysis of high-resolution (1−10 kHz) subbottom profiles and core sediments from this area reveals complicated depositional and distributional patterns of the Holocene mud deposits related to complex topography with varying supply of the adjacent Nakdong riverine sediments. Sediments from the Nakdong River were bifurcated around Gadeok Island, forming two proximal systems: Nakdong and western Gadeok systems. These proximal systems prograded offshore (southward) by active sediment supply from the Nakdong River in the early stage. Suspended sediments passing through the Nakdong system formed the distal (Gadeok Waterway and eastern Geoje) systems in the area between the northern Geoje and Gadeok islands. These distal systems show a northwestward (onshore) prograding tendency to Jinhae Bay, the biggest bay in the vicinity of the Nakdong estuary in which the Jinhae Bay system developed. In the late stage, a remarkable decrease of sediment supply from the Nakdong River has caused retrograding geometry of the two proximal systems. However, the most distal (Jinhae Bay) system has continuously prograded bayward due to the persistent supply of sediments resuspended by strong tidal currents from nearby distal (Gadeok Waterway and eastern Geoje) systems. These complex depositional features indicate that topography has an important influence on depositional developments of the Holocene mud deposits by controlling path and intensity of sediment dispersal and resuspension processes.

通过对里下河南部泰州地区PM4剖面样品的微体古生物鉴定及粒度分析,结合AMS14C测年,探讨了该地区全新世以来沉积环境的演化。研究结果表明,全新世以来,该地区的沉积环境经历了湖相、滨海沼泽、海湾、瀉湖、湖相5个阶段。11900~4850cal.aBP：沉积物颜色为灰色-灰黑色,颗粒较细,为极正偏的尖峰态,水动力条件较弱,不含有孔虫和介形虫,为湖相沉积;4850~4250cal.aBP：水动力增强及粗颗粒沉积物增加,含有少量有孔虫,为滨海沼泽;4250~4050cal.aBP：砂质成分急剧增加,含有大量有孔虫,位于黄桥沙坝的北汊道内,为海湾沉积;4050~1850cal.aBP：粒度变细,水动力减弱,含有少量有孔虫及介形虫,为瀉湖沉积;1850~0cal.aBP：粒度变细,分选变好,水动力条件较弱,不含有孔虫,含有少量介形虫,为湖相沉积。     

天津近海可能最大风暴潮模拟研究

利用实测资料分析了天津近海增减水的变化规律,冬季温带气旋引起的增水在全年中所占的频率较高,夏季热带气旋引起的增水幅度较大,这两者较容易引起较大的风暴灾害。本文通过统计历史台风过程,确定了最大热带气旋参数,建立了风暴增减水数值模拟模型,计算了该海区台风引起的可能最大增水,增水值为3.6 m。构建了温带敏感性实验,确定了该海区温带气旋最大增水的方向,计算了温带可能最大增减水,增水值为3.3 m,减水值为-3.7 m。由此确定了该海区可能最大风暴潮增水值为3.6 m,减水值为-3.7 m。     

天津大神堂海域人工鱼礁区砂壳纤毛虫群落的季节变化

于2015年夏季、秋季和2016年春季在天津大神堂海域人工鱼礁区进行砂壳纤毛虫群落的调查。3个季节共鉴定出砂壳纤毛虫10属31种,拟铃虫属（Tintinnopsis）种类最多,夏季砂壳纤毛虫种类最多。砂壳纤毛虫丰度、生物量和群落多样性指数存在明显的季节差异。砂壳纤毛虫丰度夏季最高[（379±355）个/L],秋季最低[（173±190）个/L];生物量夏季最高[（2.74±2.82）μg C/L],秋季最低[（0.23±0.21）μg C/L]。砂壳纤毛虫壳的平均口径夏季最大[（49.64±6.90）μm],秋季最小（26.76±4.55 μm）。砂壳纤毛虫群落Shannon多样性指数夏季最高（2.025±0.574）,春季最低（0.922±0.437）;Pielou均匀度指数秋季最高（0.682±0.276）,春季最低（0.448±0.266）。春季鱼礁区和对照区砂壳纤毛虫优势种存在差异,夏季和秋季鱼礁区和对照区砂壳纤毛虫优势种相同;3个季节鱼礁区第Ⅰ优势种的优势度均明显高于对照区。3个季节鱼礁区砂壳纤毛虫丰度和生物量均高于对照区,这可能是由于投礁后砂壳纤毛虫的适口饵料——nano-浮游植物丰度增加导致;3个季节鱼礁区Shannon多样性指数和Pielou均匀度指数均低于对照区,可能是因为本次调查是在投礁1~2 a后开展的,时间较短,鱼礁区砂壳纤毛虫群落尚不稳定,鱼礁区独特生态系统的变化尚需更长的时间来进行跟踪监测。     

Sequence stratigraphy based on high-resolution seismic profiles in the late Pleistocene and Holocene deposits of the Venice area

The sequence-stratigraphic investigation by Very High-Resolution (VHR) seismic profiles allowed recognition of the detailed architecture of the late Pleistocene and Holocene succession of the Venice area. In this way deposits previously known by the analyses of scattered cores, mainly taken along the lagoon margin and the littoral strips, have been correlated at regional scale including the near offshore sector and the result has pointed out the lateral variability of the stratal architecture. Late Pleistocene deposits consist of an aggrading floodplain and fluvial channel fills accumulated during decreasing eustatic sea level, and they are coeval with offlapping forced regressive marine wedges in the Central Adriatic basin. The Holocene sequence is composed of three main seismic units separated by major stratal surfaces. Unit 1 (up to 9 m thick) is formed by channelized deposits separated by areas showing sub-horizontal and hummocky reflectors, and is bounded at the base by a surface that records prolonged conditions of subaerial exposure and at the top by a flatter surface resulting from erosion by marine processes. Deposits of Unit 1 are interpreted as estuarine and distributary channel fills, and back-barrier strata. Unit 2 is well distinguishable from Unit 1 only in the offshore area and at the barrier island bounding the Venice Lagoon, and is composed of a prograding marine wedge (up to 10 m thick) that interacts laterally with ebb tidal deltas. Unit 3 consists of a tidal channel complex and inlet deposits, which testify the evolution of the lagoon area. Tidal channels are entrenched in the lagoon mud flat (coeval with Units 1–2) and cut the Pleistocene–Holocene boundary in several places.Following current sequence-stratigraphic concepts, the Holocene sequence is composed of a paralic transgressive systems tract (TST) (Unit 1) overlying a sequence boundary (the Pleistocene–Holocene boundary) and overlain by a marine highstand systems tract (HST) (Unit 2) in seaward locations and by highstand lagoonal deposits landwards. TST and HST are separated by a downlap surface that is amalgamated with a wave ravinement surface in several places. Unit 3 is coeval with the upper part of Unit 2, and its development has been favoured by human interventions, which led to a transgression limited to the lagoon area.Local factors during the deposition, i.e. subsidence, sediment supply, physiography, and current/wave regimes, led to a significant lateral variability in the architecture of the Holocene sequence, as evidenced by the extreme thickness variation of the TST along both depositional strike and dip. The HST, instead, shows less pronounced strike variations in the stratal architecture. Also, present data clearly evidence that the human impact has a great relevance in influencing the late Holocene sedimentation.     

Geochemical and stratigraphic indicators of late Holocene coastal evolution in the Gythio area, southern Peloponnese, Greece

The study of past changes in sea level, and of historical and pre-historical coastal evolution, using coastal sediment stratigraphies is well-established over a range of geographic areas, in both seismic and aseismic settings. In the eastern Mediterranean, however, such studies are less common, and, notably, the use of sediment geochemistry, and its combination with lithostratigraphic studies to analyze palaeoenvironmental and palaeo-sea-level change, has not been explored to any significant extent, despite the fact that geochemical data have been successfully used elsewhere to aid in the identification of sea-level changes. Here, we use a combined geochemical, stratigraphic and microfossil approach to reconstruct late Holocene coastal evolution and sea-level change at two sites near Gythio in the southern Peloponnese, Greece. The sites show stratigraphic and geochemical evidence of the presence in Late Helladic times (ca. 1500 BC) of barrier-protected coastal lagoonal/wetland environments, which have gradually infilled over the last ca. 3500 yr. Archaeological remains and ceramic and charcoal-bearing horizons within the sediment sequences indicate Late Roman occupation of the area, although there is no sedimentary evidence of significant pre-Roman activity at the study sites. An apparent brackish wetland peat deposit at − 3.4 m (overlain by anoxic lagoonal clays) at Kamares (Kato Vathi) Bay shows a calibrated radiocarbon age of 1640–1440 BC, suggesting a relative sea-level rise of 0.8–1 mm/yr in this area over the past 3500 yr, in good agreement with previous archaeological and sea-level modelling studies. There is no evidence, based on the stratigraphic, microfossil or geochemical record, of sudden marine flooding events related to local or regional seismic activity, despite the presence of the area in a seismically active zone known to be subject to periodic earthquakes and tsunami. The data highlight the utility of combining geochemical and stratigraphic studies in the reconstruction of coastal evolution and the study of palaeo-sea-level changes, particularly in sequences (such as those described here) where microfossils are poorly preserved.

山东半岛南部近岸全新世泥质区表层沉积物

泥质区沉积记录是全新世海洋环境演变的重要信息载体。中国近海沿岸发育着若干小型泥质沉积体,比较明确的有南海西部近海的泥质区,但尚未进行研究。通过对山东半岛南部近岸海域采集的浅地层剖面资料精细解释后发现,在该区近岸海域存在一个小型泥质沉积区,主要分布在青岛崂山头以北至乳山口附近的近岸海域,整体上平行海岸线呈条带状分布,由近岸向海逐渐变薄,等厚深度分布平行于岸线,沉积中心位于鳌山湾海域,沉积中心最厚可达22.5 m。AMS¹⁴C测年结果表明,该泥质区形成于全新世。本文利用在泥质区采集的表层沉积物的粒度、黏土矿物、碎屑矿物、地球化学元素等分析测试结果,对比研究区周边主要入海中小河流物质成分和黄河物质成分,探讨了山东半岛南部近岸海域泥质沉积区的沉积特征和物源情况。结果表明,该泥质区的形成是黄河与周边入海河流共同作用的结果。     

Drift of icebergs in the grand banks

Canada's eastern continental shelf has been the focal point of an extensive search for hydrocarbons in recent years. International petroleum companies have spent millions of dollars in explorations during this time. Off the Newfoundland and Labrador coasts, 42 wildcat wells have been drilled. One of the major hostile elements to the oil drilling rig operators in this region is the threat of drifting icebergs.     

互花米草化学治理对天津附近海域水质和沉积物质量的影响

互花米草作为入侵物种对潮间带滩涂和盐沼具有严重的生态危害性,化学方法治理互花米草具有简便、快速、彻底和成本低等特点,但化学药剂存在一定毒性,可能会对周边环境带来一系列不利影响,然而目前有关化学治理措施所带来的环境影响的研究较少。本文基于2017年8-11月的调查数据,研究了天津市永定河河口附近滩涂互花米草化学治理对附近海域海水水质和潮间带沉积物产生的影响,对调查海域海水水质和沉积物质量进行了评价。调查与评价结果表明,无机氮、活性磷酸盐和化学需氧量（COD）为调查海域的主要污染因子,硫化物为潮间带沉积物的主要污染因子。施药后特征污染物——草甘膦检测值高于本底值,所有站位均未检出磺酰脲类除草剂。综合来看,化学治理对附近海域海洋环境的影响较小。
