Quaternary glaciation of Mt. Qomolangma-Xixabangma region

The uplift of the Himalaya and Qinghai-Xizang plateau began at the end of Pliocene to the beginning of Early Pleistocene, changing the atmospheric circulation in Asia, enhancing the South Asian monsoon and enormously effecting the climatic conditions and glacial development.According to the evidence of glacial deposits, geomorphology, paleobiology, paleopedology, etc., at least four glaciations can be recognized. The uplift of the Himalayas was earlier than that of other mountains, so that the glaciation occurred in Early Pleistocene, forming small piedmont glaciers on the N slope, whilst at the same time there were wide short valley glaciers on the S slope. During the Middle Pleistocene, the height of Himalaya was about 4000 m a s l, the monsoon was strong, and much water vapour reached the interior of the plateau, the most favourable period for glacial development. Great piedmont glaciers and small ice caps formed on the mountains N of Himalayas and great valley glaciers occurred on the S slope, but no great ice sheet covered the plateau.During the early Late Pleistocene, the Himalayas had risen to over 5000 m asl, forming a barrier against the incursion of the Indian monsoon, so that the precipitation decreased sharply on the plateau N of Himalayas, thus diminishing the extent of the glaciation. But on the high mountains of the S part of Xizang and on several high mountains of the S slope of the Great Himalaya, the precipitation increased and the extent of glaciation reached a maximum. Since Last Glaciation, the precipitation of the alpine zone has decreased more sharply, the climate has become drier and colder, becoming unfavourable for glacial development.During the Holocene, three stages may be distinguished, i.e. the recession in Early Holocene (10,000-8000 BP); the disappearance of most glaciers in the Hypsithermal period in Middle Holocene, (8000-3000 BP); and the neoglacial fluctuations in Late Holocene (3000 BP up to present). The glaciers of the Neoglaciation advanced several hundred meters or even 3–5 km farther than existing glaciers.     

Three Alkali—Rich Intrusive Rock Belts Bewly Discovered in the Mt.Kunlkun—Mt.Altun Region,Xinjiang,China

The newly discovered three alkali-rich intrusive rock belts in the Mt.Kunlun Mt.Altun region of southern Xinjiang are the Lapeiquan-Yitunbulak alkali-rich intrusive fock belt, the Gez-Taxkorgan alkali-rich intrusive rock belt and the Beeilisai-Abulash alkali-rich intrusive rock belt.The former two belts were formed during the Yanshanian period,and the third one was formed during the Himalayan period,which is the youngest alkali-rich intrusive rock belt in China.The discovery of the alkali-rich intrusive rock belts is of great significance in shedding light on the history of tectono-magmatic activities in this region.     

藏南卡鲁雄峰枪勇冰川新冰期冰川发育探讨

山地冰川对气候变化响应敏感,全新世以来,冰川呈加速退缩趋势。冰川地貌是冰川变化最直接的证据。枪勇冰川发源于卡鲁雄峰,位于喜马拉雅山中段北坡雨影区,雅鲁藏布江以南,冰川末端在海拔5000 m附近,冰川面积约为6.63 km2。枪勇沟从外至内共保存有4期冰碛垄,其中以"大枪勇错"外侧的新冰期冰碛垄最为高大,终碛垄高约30 m,且形态清晰。文章基于野外观察及谷歌影像（Google Earth）上冰碛垄的分布范围,恢复并计算了新冰期时枪勇冰川面积约为10.0 km2,较现代冰川扩张了1.5倍。采用VOLTA模型计算了现代冰川的体积为0.21±0.04 km3,平均厚度约为31.7 m。基于纵剖线模型模拟了新冰期冰川表面高程,新冰期冰川平均厚度约为58.5 m,冰川体积约0.59±0.12 km3,是现代冰川体积的2.8倍,体积减小较面积退缩更为剧烈。利用积累区面积比率法（Accumulation Area Ratio Method,简称AAR）,采用AAR值为0.7±0.05,基于现代冰川表面高程和模拟的新冰期冰川表面高程,计算现代冰川和新冰期冰川的物质平衡线高度（Equilibrium Line Altitude,简称ELA）分别为5780±70 m和5660±100 m,新冰期时平衡线高度降低了约120 m。而不利用模型恢复新冰期表面高程时,平衡线降低值为240 m,可能高估约120 m。新冰期时,枪勇冰川扩张受区域降温控制,冰川前进可能是对4.2 ka冷事件的响应。冰碛垄形成时代和大枪勇错孢粉数据表明,冰川可能在2.5 ka左右已经退缩,2.2 ka时退缩加剧。     

基于ETM+影像的西藏南迦巴瓦峰地区海洋性冰川信息提取

西藏墨脱高等级公路方案线穿越冰川作用强烈的南迦巴瓦峰地区, 为查明该区冰川活动对公路工程的影响, 以ETM⁺为信息源, 以图像统计量为基础, 运用遥感数字图像处理技术, 对该区冰川进行了图像光谱信息提取与分析.冰川在 TM5、7 波段光谱值范围窄, 且冰碛与冰雪有明显的光谱差异, 是冰川信息提取的有利波段. 包含TM5、7的多波段图像K—L变换的最后主组分是TM5、7的差值图像, 主要反映的是图像中的冰川信息.这种基于图像变换、信息分离提取冰川信息的方法, 在西藏墨脱高等级公路工程勘察中取得了较好的应用效果.     

Environmental significance of snowpit chemistry in the typical monsoonal temperate glacier region,Baishui glacier no. 1, Mt Yulong,China

Samples were collected from two snowpits in Baishui glacier no. 1, Mt Yulong, China, in May 2006. Snowpit chemistry was studied, using ion tracer techniques, HYSPLIT model, factor analysis, correlation and trend analysis. It indicated that total cation concentration is higher in 4,900-m snowpit than in 4,750-m snowpit, whereas total anion concentration is higher in 4,750-m snowpit. Cations, especially Ca²⁺, dominate ionic concentrations in Baishui glacier no. 1. According to correlation analysis and factor analysis, ions can be categorized as follows: Cl⁻ and NO₃ ⁻ as Group 1, SO₄ ²⁻ as Group 2, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ as Group 3, Na⁺ as Group 4, K⁺ as Group 5. Contribution made by terrestrial dust to ionic concentration accounts for 52.27, 100, 99.36, 98.91, 96.16 and 99.97% of Cl⁻, NO₃ ⁻, SO₄ ²⁻, K⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺, respectively, in 4,900-m snowpit, and for 64.00, 100, 99.57, 98.63, 96.25 and 99.97% in 4,750-m snowpit. Local dust is the principal source of snowpit chemical components. Pollutants brought from industrial areas of South Asia, Southeast Asia and South China by monsoonal circulation also makes some contribution to anion concentrations, but pollution associated with human activities makes a very slight contribution in study area. The chemical characteristics of two snowpits are different owing to the difference of deposition mechanism and local environment in different altitudes.     

初论西藏过铝花岗岩

西藏主要过铝花岗岩岩体有61个,其岩石类型主要有电气石花岗岩、白云母花岗岩和二云母花岗岩。岩石的SiO2=65．7％-79．52％,A／CNK=1．05-2．26,C-norm=1．2-3．1,表明西藏过铝花岗岩属白云母强过铝花岗岩类型,为岩浆成因。岩石具较强的负Eu异常,（^87Sr／^86Sr）．值较高,为0．72199-0．75513;εNd（t）值较低,为-16．0—-9．6;δ^18O值较高,为＋8．9‰＋18．79‰;结合La／Sm-La图解,表明其形成过程中没有地幔的卷入,为泥质岩石部分熔融的产物,岩浆来源于上地壳。QAP图解、R1-R2图解、Rb-（Y＋Nb）图解等均表明其为大陆碰撞构造环境。西藏过铝花岗岩发生在2个大陆地壳板块的碰撞阶段,岩浆来源于上地壳的重熔。喜马拉雅过铝花岗岩是陆内俯冲的岩石学记录,而冈底斯带过铝花岗岩更可能是特提斯洋壳北向俯冲的岩石学响应。     

西藏松多榴辉岩变质作用研究

西藏拉萨地块松多附近新发现一条榴辉岩带,长约100 km,宽约2~3 km。松多榴辉岩主要经历了进变质的绿帘石榴辉岩相-峰期的榴辉岩相-退变质的角闪岩相3个阶段。岩石学研究表明,峰期的特征矿物组合是石榴子石绿辉石多硅白云母金红石,峰期温压条件是760~800 ℃,33~39 GPa。这表明松多地区可能曾经历超高压变质作用,之后快速返回,p T轨迹呈“发卡”状,后期退变质经历了角闪石榴辉岩相阶段。研究松多榴辉岩表明,拉萨地块内部有一条新的缝合带,这对于了解拉萨地块和古特提斯洋的演化有重要意义。     

贺兰山地区树轮碳氧同位素与夏季风降水的相关性讨论

分析了贺兰山地区油松树轮的稳定碳氧同位素组成对环境因素的响应关系 , 发现树轮碳氧同位素组成均与当年 5～ 9月总降水量具有较好的响应关系 , 碳同位素组成与 5～ 9月总降水量呈负相关关系 ,而氧同位素组成与 5～ 9月总降水量呈正相关关系 ,二者都可较好地反映该地区夏季风降水量的变化.同时 ,碳氧同位素的相关性分析表明二者具有一定程度的负相关性.树轮碳氧同位素的分馏机理十分复杂,其同位素组成不仅与降水量有关,同时还受其他环境因素的影响,单纯利用一种同位素指标来提取相应的气候信息,存在很大的不确定性.在本研究中 ,同时采用两种同位素指标来研究其气候意义 ,使得出的结论更加可靠.因此 ,夏季风降水量是控制该地区树轮稳定碳氧同位素组成的主要因素.     

1971-2012年珠穆朗玛峰地区极端降水事件变化研究

利用西藏珠穆朗玛峰地区5个气象站点1971-2012年逐日降水量资料,采用滑动平均、线性回归、Mann-Kendall非参数检验和Morlet小波分析等方法,分析了珠穆朗玛峰地区极端降水事件的时空变化特征. 结果表明：1971-2012年42 a来,珠穆朗玛峰地区大部分极端降水指数呈现出自东向西逐渐增大的空间分布格局, 连续干旱日数、连续湿日和降水强度表现为增加趋势,其他极端降水指数趋于减少. 其中,强降水量、极强降水量和年降水总量减幅较大,分别为-5.74 mm·（10a）^-1、-1.20 mm·（10a）^-1和-5.32 mm·（10a）^-1,在喜马拉雅山南坡的聂拉木站表现的最为明显. 大部分极端降水指数在21世纪最初的10 a减幅最大,在30 a际尺度上也表现为减少趋势. 除连续干旱日数外,极端降水与年降水总量关系密切. 各项极端降水指数都存在3～4 a显著周期,也存在10 a、12 a和15 a的周期. 在时间转折上,各项极端降水指数均未发生气候突变.

曼秀闪长岩体位于景洪县城南东,与著名的南林山岩体呈平行展布,主要由黑云角闪闪长岩、黑云角闪石英闪长岩和石英闪长质碎粒碎斑岩组成。采用LA-ICP-MS法获得了曼秀岩体中闪长岩的四组锆石U-Pb年龄,分别是321±14 Ma、305.7±9.3 Ma、291.3±7.6 Ma和307.4±7.3 Ma,表明曼秀岩体的形成时代在晚石炭—早二叠。全岩微量元素特征表明,岩石中Th、Zr等富集,而Nb、Hf等亏损。具有轻稀土富集特征,δEu=0.73~0.98(平均0.85)呈弱负异常特征,而δCe=0.89~1.06(平均0.95),异常不显著。微量和稀土元素特征显示,曼秀闪长岩体与火山弧花岗岩相似,并向同碰撞花岗岩过渡,说明南澜沧江带在晚石炭—早二叠早期为大洋岛弧俯冲带。     

Geology,geochronology, and exploration of the Jiama giant porphyry copper deposit (11 Mt), Tibet,China: A review

Jiama, with more than 11 Mt of copper metal, is the largest porphyry-skarn copper system in the Gangdese metallogenic belt, Tibet, China, creating ideal conditions for deciphering the origin of porphyry ores in a collision setting. Despite massive studies of the geology, chronology, petrogenesis, and ore-related fluids and their sources in Jiama, there is a lack of systematic summaries and reviews of this system. In contrast to traditional porphyry copper systems in a subduction setting, recent studies and exploration suggest that the Jiama deposit includes porphyry-type Mo-Cu, skarn-type Cu polymetallic, vein-type Au and manto orebodies. This paper reviews the latest studies on the geology, chronology, petrogenesis, fluid inclusions, and isotopic geochemistry (hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and lead) of the Jiama deposit. Accordingly, a multi-center complex mineralization model was constructed, indicating that multi-phase intrusions from the same magma reservoir can form multiple hydrothermal centers. These centers are mutually independent and form various orebodies or are superimposed on each other and form thick, high-grade orebodies. Finally, a new comprehensive exploration model was established for the Jiama porphyry copper system. Both models established in this study help to refine the theories on continental-collision metallogeny and porphyry copper systems.©2023 China Geology Editorial Office.     

六盘山北部寺口子砂岩研究现状、问题及意义

古近纪内陆古环境重建是我国第四纪和新生代地质研究面临的前沿课题。位于青藏高原东北缘六盘山北部,作为著名寺口子组的正层型剖面,寺口子砂岩剖面是该期内陆环境变化重建的一个理想剖面。但其成因认识尚存在水成与风成两大分歧,以致其时代、成因、环境等一系列问题尚无定论。前人研究的基础上,通过对寺口子剖面进行野外调查与研究,进一步厘定沉积时代,澄清沉积特征,揭示成因类型,恢复沉积过程,重建其古地理环境与演变过程,并与区域及全球有关地质环境及古气候事件记录进行对比,探讨其对全球气候环境演变的响应机理,有助于解决该地层的成因与环境问题,有望建立一个典型古近纪内陆沉积剖面,促进中国内陆古近系记录及其古环境研究,并为青藏高原隆升—季风变迁—沙漠演化等耦合机制研究提供新的证据,同时,对类似砂岩地层的研究具有一定的推动作用。     

天山成矿带境内外地球化学特征对比——中国东天山和哈萨克斯坦楚伊犁地区

对天山成矿带中国境内的东天山地区和哈萨克斯坦境内的楚伊犁地区1∶100万比例尺的地球化学填图所揭示的信息进行了对比研究。造岩元素、铁族元素、稀有元素、稀土元素和分散元素在这2个地区的含量和富集程度都非常接近,说明天山地区具有相同的地质背景;贵金属元素Au在楚伊犁地区的含量和富集程度要显著高于东天山地区,楚伊犁地区的Au异常不仅与石英脉型金矿有关,还与黑色页岩微粒金矿化有关;有色金属元素在2个地区差别不大,不同的是Cu异常在东天山以独立或与其他有色金属元素伴生异常存在,而在楚伊犁主要以与贵金属元素伴生异常存在;铂族元素在2个地区含量比较接近,一类异常与基性和超基性岩有关,另一类与黑色岩系有关。尽管这2个地区都还未发现有经济价值的铂族元素矿床,但在楚伊犁地区已经发现与炭质硅质岩有关的微粒金、铂矿化。     

延边地区晚三叠世火山岩的岩石地球化学特征及其构造意义

延边地区晚三叠世火山岩主要由安山岩和流纹岩构成，其中包括少量玄武安山岩。火山岩的岩石化学和地球化学研究表明，晚三叠世火山岩属于亚碱性系列，并具有钙碱性系列演化特征，位于中钾和高钾钙碱性岩系列范围。岩石组合、主要元素和稀土元素(REE)等显示晚三叠世火山岩的形成与活动大陆边缘伸展环境有关，它标志着泛太平洋板块(法拉隆板块)对欧亚大陆作用的开始，同时也标志着古亚洲枸造域的结束。     

雪峰山中段古生代变形的特征及意义——以绥宁-靖州-天柱-新晃剖面为例

对雪峰山中段绥宁-靖州(会同)-天柱-新晃剖面的研究表明,雪峰山中段的变形自东向西减弱,由东部的向西倒转紧闭褶皱过渡到西部的开阔褶皱。东部(绥宁-靖州段)卷入褶皱的为南华系和震旦系—下古生界,褶皱样式表明东部在南华系与板溪群之间存在一区域性的滑脱面,本段缩短11km。剖面西段(靖州(会同)-天柱-新晃段)卷入变形的为板溪群、南华系和震旦系—下古生界,主要滑脱面位于板溪群下部或冷家溪群与板溪群之间,该段缩短46km。东西2段之间的界线是早期控制板溪群和南华系沉积的正断层。研究得出的缩短量为最小值,与前人的研究结果一致,表明古生代雪峰山逆冲推覆距离不大。雪峰山中段石炭系与南华系之间的超覆不整合、靖州盆地的构造属性和雪峰山剖面的变形特征显示,雪峰山中段的变形发生在早古生代。雪峰山早古生代变形是早期裂谷的反转,属薄皮构造。     

The vascular flora of the Qomolangma-Xixabangma region,Tibet

According to the classification and statistics of the specimens collected in the Xixabangma-Qomolangma region there are a total of 1624 species of vascular plants (136 families, 573 genera). Based on the statistics of the 573 genera of vascular plants, 14 distribution types are derived (Cosmopolitans, pantropical, tropical asian-american, palaeotropical, indo-malayan, north-temperate, east-asian-north-american disjunctions, temperate asian, central asian, tethys elements, endemic etc.). The origin of the flora of the area under consideration is polygenetic. There is no endemic family, but there are 14 endemic genera and 240 endemic species. The majority of the endemic species are derived from large and polytypic genera. The group of endemic species and varieties show that the flora of Xixabangma-Qomolangma is young and under violent floristic differentiation.     

珠穆朗玛峰绒布冰川消融与产汇流水文特征分析

分析珠穆朗玛峰峰绒布冰川强消融期6月的日径流资料可知,由于绒布冰川末端冰湖较为发育、冰川面积较大,冰川末端水文站显示白天流量小于晚上流量,冰川储水性较强.最大流量出现时间滞后於最高气温(消融最强)时间9～14h.随着消融强度增大,冰川排水系统发育越来越完善,滞后时间缩短.据2005年定日县气象站无降水日日平均气温资料和同期珠穆朗玛峰绒布河日均径流量,获得气温驱动下绒布河日均径流量表达式;利用1959年珠峰科考时一个水文年中无降水日绒布河日均流量资料和同期定日县气象站日均气温检验该表达式表明,该表达式在利用定日县气象站无降水日日均气温模拟绒布河径流量时表现较好.绒布河的径流可分割成两部分:冰川融水补给和降水补给.根据1959年降水驱动产生的流量,得出降水对河流补给贡献率为19.2%,冰川融水补给率为80.8%.     

Geochemistry of phonolites and trachytes from the summit region of Mt. Kenya

Two suites of felsic eruptives and intrusives are represented in a set of samples from the summit region of the Plio-Pleistocene volcano, Mt. Kenya. Most of the samples are moderately or strongly undersaturated and have ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr initial ratios in the range 0.70360–0.70368 (mean=0.70362). Members of this phonolitic suite are phonolites, nepheline syenites or kenytes and as a group they show a wide variation in TiO₂, FeO, P₂O₅, Sr, Ba, Zr and Nb. The minor and trace element geochemistry reflect variation in the nature of the parental basaltic magmas from which the phonolitic rocks evolved and variation in the crystal fractionation process in individual cases. Crystal fractionation involving plagioclase, alkali feldspar, clinopyroxene, olivine and magnetite is the process by which most of the phonolitic rocks evolved and variation in the relative proportions of these phases in individual cases has led to a broad spectrum of trace and minor element behaviour. The second suite of felsic samples is critically saturated and consists of trachytes showing either slight oversaturation or slight undersaturation with respect to SiO₂. This trachyte suite has lower initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (mean=0.70355) and is derived from transitional alkalic basalts by low pressure (crustal) crystal fractionation involving feldspar, clinopyroxene, magnetite and olivine. The range in minor and trace element chemistry observed among the felsic rocks is a consequence of variation in the parental basalts which is related to mantle source variation and to the specific nature of the crystal fractionation process.     

Petrology and Petrogenesis of the Eclogite in Mt.Dabie Area,Central China

The occurrence,mineralogy and geochemistry of eclogites in the Mt.Dabie area show that they were subjected to a high-pressure metamorphism together with the country rocks,but their petrochemistry and REE geochemistry show some difference from those of the country rocks.The geochemical characteristics of the eclogites are similar to those of bot continental tholeiitic basalt and oceanic tholeiitic basalt.The rocks probably subducted to the upper mantle with the Dabie metamorphic complex.When elevated to the surface,they were subjected to different staes of retrogressive metamorphism.     

玉龙雪山冰川沉积序列OSL定年

位于青藏高原东南缘的玉龙雪山分布有欧亚大陆纬度最低的海洋型冰川,其主峰及周边地区保存了大量清晰完整的第四纪冰川遗迹。研究该区第四纪冰川作用遗迹及其冰川作用史,具有重要的理论与实际价值。应用光释光（OSL）测年技术对玉龙雪山冰川沉积物进行了定年,结合前人研究资料,重建玉龙雪山冰川作用史。研究结果表明：玉龙雪山东麓的末次冰期冰碛物主要形成于晚更新世末次冰期最盛时期,其平均年代约在25ka,西麓末次冰期冰碛物形成年代约为50ka,对应于深海氧同位素3阶段中期（MIS3b）。而倒数第二次冰期的年代在240ka左右,处于中更新世晚期,对应于MIS8阶段,当时玉龙雪山存在多条复式山谷冰川。该研究可为玉龙雪山第四纪冰川作用历史的重新认识以及光释光测年技术在该区的应用提供基础资料。
