Discovery of Jinning Cycle Magmatism in Eastern Part of Eastern Kunlun Orogenic Beltand Its Significance

There were frequent tectono- magmatic activities in East-ern Kunlun orogenic belt.The exposed area of igneous rocksis very large,forming the magmatic arc belt on a large scale.The intrusive rocks are mainly of Hercynian - Indosinian cy-cle,with a few Caledonian and Yanshanian cycles(Jiang etal.,1992 ,1986 ;Gu et al.,1986 ) .Previous study indicatesthat the Eastern Kunlun orogenic belt had undergone at leastoceanic to continental conversion of Jinningian,Caledonian,Hercynian- Indosinian c…     

东太平洋暖池

利用1950-2002年间的海面温度(SST)资料,研究了东太平洋暖池的形态和热状态特征,并探讨了暖池变异与恩索(ENSO)的关系。结果表明,暖池形态和热状态均有明显的季节特征和年际变化,其年际变化与ENSO循环相联系;暖池热含量、面积和南界与ENSO有着十分密切的相关关系。合成分析结果显示,在厄尔尼诺(El Nino)事件爆发的前一年,暖池热含量偏少,面积偏小,南界偏北,而在事件爆发后,暖池热含量增多,面积增大,南界南移;在拉尼娜(La Ni?a)事件期间,暖池热含量、面积和南界的演变趋势基本与El Nino事件期间的情况相反。东太平洋暖池的经向变异可能对ENSO暖(El Nino)、冷(La Nina)事件的发展有重要作用。     

东喜马拉雅构造结东、西边界断裂对比及其构造演化过程

为了查明东喜马拉雅构造结东、西边界断裂的关系,及其印度与欧亚板块碰撞以来东喜马拉雅构造结的构造演化过程.在综合野外填图、构造观察、代表性岩石的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年分析及前人研究的基础上,对东构造结两条边界断裂的几何学、运动学特征进行对比,讨论了两条断裂的多期次、多阶段的变形特征,还探讨了在东构造结地区自印度板块-欧亚板块碰撞以来的演化历史.结果显示,东构造结两条边界断裂几何学和运动学非常相似,构造变形具有明显的同时代、同期次特点,共同经历从碰撞、持续俯冲-折返、直到后期垮塌-隆升等一系列重要的地质事件.      

扬子地块东段若干橄揽岩包体的温度－压力计算

采自江苏省六合地区的１１个尖晶石相橄榄岩包体，用电子探针和质子探针精确测定其中橄榄石和辉石的主量和微量成分，采用新近校准的适用于尖晶石相包体的橄榄石一单斜辉石地质压力计和二辉石地质温度计，计算了包体中共生矿物对的平衡温度和压力。其中ＢＭ８５计算的温度比ＢＫＮ９０的约低５０℃左右。而经Ｂｒｅｙ和Ｋｏｈｌｅｒ修改的ＢＭ８５温度计得到的结果与ＢＫＮ９０的几乎相同。假定压力为１．５ＧＰａ，用ＢＫＮ９０计算，１１个包体样品的温度范围为７２２℃～１１９３℃，它大体上反映了扬子地块东段大陆岩石圈地使尖晶石相部分的温度状态。橄榄石一单斜辉石地质压力计用于本样品组计算，仅部分样品获得合理的结果。由于该压力计自身的误差较大，尚不能精确确定尖晶石相橄榄岩的压力。     

Pleistocene mammal faunas of Eastern Europe

Systematic studies of the Pleistocene mammal assemblages of Eastern Europe have been carried out for more than a century, and they elucidated evolutionary changes and ascertained chronological sequence of the faunas. The available evidence on fossil mammals from Eastern Europe allows differentiation of 7 complexes of large mammals. These complexes represent 15 assemblages and their phases distinguished for small mammals. The appearance of new taxa of different rank provides the basis for identification of the principal stages in mammal evolution. Multi-disciplinary studies of fossil mammal localities have made it possible to correlate theriological data with the main events of the Pleistocene (such as glacials and interglacials) by comparison between geological, geochronological and palaeontological data.Interglacial and periglacial mammal faunas of different age have been defined on the basis of their structural characteristics and geographical distribution. Two types of mammal assemblages are recognised: zonal interglacial and periglacial assemblages specific to glacial periods. In the first type, each zonal assemblage is dominated by a single ecological group of mammals. A distinctive feature of the second type is the co-existence of animals belonging to different ecological groups and inhabiting different natural environments.     

Medical-ecological problems of the Eastern Aral-land

The Aral region is taken as an example of a region of ecological disaster. The processes and phenomena of people's health deterioration caused by the deformation of the environment in connection with hydrological changes are discussed. The situation in Aral region is regarded as a model of a large-scale ecological disaster with a medical-ecological dominant.     

Lower Jurassic palynostratigraphy of Eastern Siberia

This paper presents the results of a palynological study of the natural outcrops of the Lower and Middle Jurassic on the Kelimyar River (Outcrops 5, 6, 7, 14, and 16) and two boreholes, Middle-Nakynskaya and Ygyata-Tyungskaya 1, in Eastern Siberia. The Ukugut, Tyung, Motorchuna, Suntar, Kyrin, and Kelimyar formations were studied. Six biostrata with dinocysts were established for the Upper Sinemurian–Toarcian. The analysis of the stratigraphic ranges of dinocysts in the sections allowed the identification of the stratigraphic ranges for important genera of dinocysts, which enabled the updating of the geochronology of some biostrata. Three main stages of the evolution of dinocysts in the Early Jurassic in the Siberian Paleobasin were characterized by the appearance, diversification, and disappearance of some orders of dinocysts at certain times. Seven biostrata (beds with characteristic palynoassemblages) were established for the upper Sinemurian–Toarcian on the basis of the study of the taxonomic composition of spores and pollen of land plants and successive changes in the composition of the palynospectra.

Karst Hazard Assessment of Eastern Saudi Arabia

Karst phenomena exist in areas in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia, forming solution features such as sinkholes, collapsed dolines and solution caverns, as a result of the chemical leaching of the carbonate and evaporite formations by percolating water. The instability of these karst phenomena could produce land subsidence problems. This paper reviews the geology of documented karstic rock units in Saudi Arabia and proposes a simple engineering classification of the solution features characteristic of limestone. Two case histories in the Dhahran area, eastern Saudi Arabia, will be used as examples for the application of a modified engineering classification.
