The Paleoceanography during the Time with High δ13C of Phanerozoic marine carbonates

Carbon isotopic composition of marine carbonates is a record for various important geological events in the process of earth development and evolution. The carbonates of Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic, as the transition from Paleozoic to Mesozoic-Cenozoic have very high ¹³C value. Taking this as the main point, and combined with the oxygen, strontium isotopic composition in carbonates, distribution of carbonate basin area through geologic time, the correlation of carbon isotopic composition of marine carbonates to sea level change, organic carbon burial flux, exchange of CO₂ content in atmosphere and ocean, and long cycle evolution of the earth ecosystems were approached. The results are shown as follows: ①The interval of ¹³C >3‰ during Phanerozoic was concentrated in Carboniferous, Permian and the beginning of Triassic, but the beginning of Triassic was characterized by higher frequency and larger fluctuations in ¹³C value during a short time, whereas the Carboniferous-Permian presented a continuously stable high ¹³C value, indicating a larger amount of organic carbon accumulation in this time interval. Relatively high ¹⁸O values during this time was also observed, showing a long time of glaciations and cold climate, which suggest a connection among rapid organic carbon burial, cold climate, as well as pCO₂ and pO₂ states of atmosphere. ②The over consumption of atmosphere CO₂ by green plants during the time with high ¹³C of seawater forced CO₂ being transferred from ocean to atmosphere for the balance, but the decrease in the seawater amount and water column pressure caused by the global cooling could weaken dissolution capacity of CO₂ in seawater and carbon storage of marine carbonates, and also reduce the carbonate sedimentary rate and decrease the carbonate basin area globally from Devonian to Carboniferous and Permian. During the middle-late Permian carbonate was widely replaced by siliceous sediments even though in shallow carbonate platform, which resulted in the decrease of marine invertebrates, suggesting the Permian chert event should be global. ③The Phanerozoic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr trend of seawater showed a sharp fall in Permian and drop to a minimum at the end of the Permian, indicting input of strontium from the submarine hydrothermal systems (mantle flux). Such process should accompany with a supplement of CO₂ from deep earth to atmosphere and ocean system, but the process associated with widespread volcanism and rises of earth’s surface temperature pricked up the mass extinction during the time of end Permian. ④Cold climate and increase of continental icecap volume, the amalgamation of northern Africa and Laurentia continentals were the main reasons responsible for the sea level drop, but the water consumption result from the significantly increased accumulation of organic carbon should also be one of the reasons for the sea level drop on the order of tens of meters. ⑤The mass extinction at the end Permian was an inevitable event in the process of earth system adjustment. It was difficult for marine invertebrates to survive because of the continuously rapid burial of organic carbon, and of the decrease of sea water amount and its dissolution ability to CO₂. At last, at the end of Paleozoic, the supplement of CO₂ to atmosphere and ocean by widely magma activities resulted in a high temperature of earth surface and intensified mass extinction.     

松辽盆地南部无机CO2成藏机理与分布

松辽盆地南部的幔源CO₂气主要存在3种脱气方式：热底辟体脱气、岩浆房脱气和地幔热底垫体脱气。古近纪末-新近纪时期的岩浆活动和岩石圈断裂是无机CO₂气藏形成的主控因素;属于岩石圈断裂的郯庐断裂北部断裂系,当处于活动期时,诱导幔源岩浆上涌,促使无机CO₂气从幔源岩浆脱出,先期富集在下地壳底部,并沿着下地壳的网状剪切带迂回向上运移到达拆离带;当断至拆离带的低角度基底断裂处于活动期时,无机CO₂气体沿着壳源断裂上移进入地壳浅层圈闭富集成藏。气源断裂体系的展布与幔源火成岩活动脱气是无机CO₂气运聚成藏的两大主控因素。幔源CO₂气藏主要分布在长岭断陷和德惠断陷:前者主要沿着孙吴-双辽断裂带分布,后者受控于哈尔滨-四平断裂带。长岭断陷的幔源CO₂气藏埋藏较深,由于向北西的红岗阶地和东部的德惠断陷层位在变新,导致CO₂气藏埋藏深度逐渐变浅。     

松辽盆地幔源成因CO2气藏分布规律及控制因素

通过深部15s大剖面解译和典型CO₂气藏解剖,深入剖析了松辽盆地幔源成因CO₂气藏分布规律及控制因素。纵向上CO₂气主要富集在营城组火山岩和泉头组三、四段砂岩储层中。与深部热流体（热流底辟体和侵入体）直接相连的、控陷的、控制火山通道的铲式基底断裂控制着CO₂气藏呈串珠状分布的特征,断裂走向拐点、端点和侧列叠覆区控制了CO₂气出气点。深部热流体是CO₂气藏主要的气源。与之相衔接的基底断裂活动导致幔源岩浆充注盆地,同时携带的CO₂气释放进入早期喷发的火山岩中形成营城组火山岩CO₂气藏。基于控藏断裂多为断陷期和泉头组晚期-青山口组早期活动的基底断裂,推测营城组CO₂气藏主要成藏时期为泉头组晚期-青山口组早期。松辽盆地强烈的构造反转发生在明水组末期,挤压应力自南南东向北北西方向衰减的过程中,基底断裂复活形成正反转断层,CO₂气从热流底辟体中脱出上运而聚集在反转构造带上,断层式反转构造南部比北部发育,西部比东部发育,因此松辽盆地南部比北部、西部比东部CO₂气更富集。     

Physical state of the very early Earth

The earliest surface environment of the Earth is reconstructed in accordance with the planetary formation theory. Formation of an atmosphere is an inevitable consequence of Earth's formation. The atmosphere near the close of accretion is composed of 200 300 bars of H₂ and H₂O, and several tens of bars of CO and CO₂. Either by the blanketing effect of the proto-atmosphere or heating by large planetesimal impacts a magma ocean is formed during accretion. We can distinguish three stages for the thermal evolution of the magma ocean and proto-crust. Stage 0 is characterized by a super-liquidus (or completely molten) regime near the surface. At this stage the surface of the Earth is covered by a super-liquidus magma ocean. No chemical differentiation is expected during this stage. Once the energy flux released by planet formation decreases to the 200 W/m² level the super-liquidus magma ocean then disappears within a time interval of 1 m.y. This is the transition from stage 0 to 1. Stage 1 is characterized by a partially molten magma ocean. In the magma ocean consisting of 20 30% partial melt, heat transport is controlled by melt-solid separation (a type of compositional convection) rather than thermal convection. Chemical differentiation of the mantle mainly occurs in this stage. Once the energy flux drops to the 160 W/m² level, more than 90% of water vapor in the proto-atmosphere condense to form the proto-oceans. Several tens of bars of CO and CO₂ remain in the atmosphere just after formation of the oceans. Water oceans are occasionally evaporated by large impacts. After each such event, recondensation of the ocean takes several hundred years. Although the surface is covered by a chilled proto-crust, it is short-lived because of extensive volcanic resurfacing activity as well as meteorite impacts resurfacing. This stage ends when the energy flux drops to 0.1 1 W/m² level. The duration time of stage 1 is estimated to be several hundred million years (the best estimate is about 400 m.y.). Stage 2 is characterized by solid state convection. This stage continues to the present day. One of the most important change on the proto-Earth is the transition from stage 1 to 2, which occurs several hundred million years after the Earth formation. Long-lived crust is formed only after this transition.     

Chemical Weathering and CO2 Consumption of Chishuihe River Basin,Guizhou Province

Carbon sink produced during rock weathering is critical to global carbon cycles. In this work, we analyzed the major ion chemistry of the Chishuihe River Basin, and the major ion composition of the Chishuihe River system and the principal component analysis was applied for estimating the weathering rate and atmospheric CO₂ consumption via the rock chemical weathering. The results demonstrated that the chemical composition of the river was dominated by Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, HC and S. The average concentration(317.88 mg/L) of the total dissolved solids within the Chishuihe River was higher than the average value (65 mg/L) of world rivers. The Gibbs graph combining major ion element ratio analysis indicated that the catchment major ion composition mainly originated from rock weathering, primarily from carbonate weathering, sparsely from silicate weathering. Carbonate and silicate weathering contributed 70.77% and 5.03% separately to the dissolved loads. The anthropogenic and precipitation impact was limited. According to calculation based on principal component and the ion composition characteristics, the chemical weathering rate was 126.716 t/(km²·a), significantly higher than that of the Yellow River and Yangtze River, and also higher than the average rate of the global major rivers. The CO₂ consumption flux based on annual average runoff was 10.96×10⁹ mol/a, and the CO₂ consumption rate by chemical weathering was 5.79×10⁵ mol/(km²·a).     

巴西桑托斯盆地高含CO2油气藏类型、特征及成因模式

桑托斯盆地盐下油气藏中CO₂分布广泛,局部摩尔分数极高,给勘探、开发都带来了巨大挑战。通过对典型油气藏解剖分析,并利用流体取样、闪蒸实验测试分析等资料,将盆内油气藏分为3类：类型Ⅰ,含CO₂溶解气的高气油比常规油藏;类型Ⅱ,CO₂气顶+油环型油气藏;类型Ⅲ,（含溶解烃）CO₂气藏。其中类型Ⅰ油藏和类型ⅢCO₂气藏中流体性质均匀、稳定,油-水界面、气-水界面清晰;类型Ⅱ气顶+油环型油气藏流体成分和性质不均匀、不稳定,流体界面复杂。物理热模拟实验表明盆内3种类型油气藏是地层条件下,超临界状态CO₂和烃类有限互溶,动态成藏过程不同阶段的产物。动态成藏过程中,CO₂对烃类进行抽提、萃取,烃类（原油）对CO₂进行溶解,两者相互作用存在一个动态平衡（范围）。烃类和CO₂相对量大小决定了最终的油气藏类型,温-压条件变化和油气藏开发可改变油气藏平衡状态,造成流体相态变化和3类油气藏间的相互转化。

Experimental abiotic synthesis of methanol in seafloor hydrothermal systems during diking events

The abiotic synthesis of organic compounds in seafloor hydrothermal systems is one mechanism through which the subsurface environment could be supplied with reduced carbon. A flow-through, fixed-bed laboratory reactor vessel, the Catalytic Reactor Vessel (CRV) system, has been developed to investigate mineral–surface promoted organic synthesis at temperatures up to 400°C and pressures up to 30 MPa, conditions relevant to seafloor hydrothermal systems. Here we present evidence that metastable methanol can be directly synthesized from a gas-rich CO₂–H₂–H₂O mixture in the presence of a mineral substrate. Experiments have been performed without a substrate, with quartz, and with a mixture of quartz and magnetite. Temperatures and pressures in the experiments ranged from 200°C to 350°C and from 15 to 18 MPa, respectively. Maximum conversion of 5.8×10⁻⁴% CO₂ to CH₃OH per hour was measured using a mixture of magnetite and quartz in the reactor. After passivation of the stainless steel reactor vessel, experiments demonstrate that methanol is formed at temperatures up to 350°C in the presence of magnetite, and that the formation rate decreases over time. The experiments also show a loss of surface reactivity at 310°C and a regeneration of surface reactivity with increased temperature up to 350°C. Concentrations of CO₂ and H₂ used in the experiments simulate periodic, localized and dynamic conditions occurring within the seafloor during and immediately following magmatic diking events. High concentrations of CO₂ and H₂ may be generated by dike injection accompanied by exsolution of CO₂ and reaction of dissolved H₂O with FeO in the magma to form H₂. The experiments described here examine how the ephemeral formation of an H₂–CO₂-rich vapor phase within seafloor hydrothermal systems may supply reactants for abiotic organic synthesis reactions. These experiments show that the presence of specific minerals can promote the abiotic synthesis of simple organic molecules from common inorganic reactants such H₂O, CO₂ and H₂ under geologically realistic conditions.     

温度对青藏高原高寒灌丛CO2通量日变化的影响

应用涡度相关技术连续监测的CO₂通量及温度数据(2003年1月1日至2004年12月31日),分析了青藏高原高寒灌丛净生态系统CO₂交换(NEE)日变化与温度之间的关系.结果表明:1)在暖季夜间(21:00至次日06:00时)温度与NEE变化呈显著正相关关联,而白昼(07:00~20:00时)NEE变化与温度无显著关联;2)在冷季不论夜间还是白昼,NEE变化均与温度密切相关,温度是决定冷季高寒灌丛生态系统CO₂交换的主要因素.在全球气候变暖背景下,青藏高原气候变化呈现出冬季增温率明显高于春、夏季特征,未来气候变暖导致的增温效应可能会加速青藏高原高寒灌丛生态系统CO₂排放,使其作为碳汇的能力而减弱.     

Degassing history and carbon cycle of the Earth: From an impact-induced steam atmosphere to the present atmosphere

The recent theoretical studies on the formation and evolution of the atmosphere and oceans of the Earth are reviewed. Impact degassing during accretion of the Earth would probably generate an impact-induced steam atmosphere on the proto-Earth. At the end of accretion, the steam atmosphere became unstable and condensed to form the proto-ocean with almost the present mass of ocean. The steam atmosphere would have thus evolved to the proto-CO₂ atmosphere during the earliest history of the Earth because CO in the proto-atmosphere may be photochemically converted to CO₂. However, CO₂ in the proto-atmosphere has decreased with time through the global carbon cycle which may have stabilized the terrestrial environment against an increase in the solar luminosity. The continental growth during Hadean and Archean would therefore have a significant influence on the carbon cycle and the surface temperature. It is also suggested that the continental growth is a necessary condition for the terrestrial environment to evolve to the present state. Both the impact degassing and the subsequent continuous degassing are suggested to have played a major role in the formation and evolution of the atmosphere and ocean. In particular, most of N₂ may have been produced by the impact degassing during accretion, and the contribution of the subsequent continuous degassing is at most 10% for N₂. As a consequence, after the CO₂ level decreased to less than 1 bar, the atmosphere may have been at about 1 bar and composed mainly of N₂ for most of the subsequent history of the Earth.

Marine Carbon Sequestration: Current Situation,Problems and Future

Abuse of fossil energy resources results in the excessive discharge of greenhouse gases, especially CO₂, enhancing the trend of global climate warming. Carbon sequestration is an important method to lower the increasing rate of CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere. Marine carbon sequestration is a novel idea for reducing CO₂ emission, and its reservoir mainly includes seawater and submarine sediment, which not only possess a great potential capacity of carbon sequestration, but also have high safety in relation to continental reservoirs. In this paper, we expounded the technique principle and mechanisms of marine carbon sequestration, potential capacity and time duration of marine carbon sequestration, main factors influencing marine carbon sequestration, CO₂ injection technique, impacts on marine biota from over emission of CO₂ and technique monitoring the leakage of CO₂. Finally, a prospect of marine carbon sequestration was proposed, and its hot topics were accordingly pointed out.     

Research Advance in Air-Water CO2 Exchange of Estuaries

Estuary holds a key position in linking the four geo-spheres, i.e., atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. Figuring out the transfer mechanisms of estuarine carbon, especially the exchange ofCO₂ at the air water interface is conducive to understanding the carbon pattern in coastal oceans. To date, many fruitful studies have been conducted on the control mechanism towards the partial pressure of CO₂ (pCO₂) in different estuarine areas around the world. By a thorough research on the latest studies of estuarineCO₂ exchange with the atmosphere, it is concluded as follows: ①A common pattern is found on the spatial distribution of pCO₂in different estuarine areas. However, the concrete seasonal change of pCO₂ shows great differences, and the corresponding control factors also vary considerably. ②Estuaries are believed to be large sources ofCO₂ to the atmosphere. It is estimated that the global estuarineCO₂ degassing fluxes, although the global surface area of estuariesis small, are up to 0.25×10¹⁵~0.50×10¹⁵g C/a; and about 1/3 of riverine carbon is released into the atmosphere during the estuarine transit. ③Degradation of organic matter, lateral transfer of marsh derivedCO₂ , mineral deposits in water and turbulence in the liquid phase are the main factors that are responsible for the emission of estuarineCO₂ . At present, this estimate of estuarineCO₂ exchange with the atmosphere is based on limited spatial data, therefore problems such as the limitation in the depth and scope of studies still exist. There are also varieties of uncertainties in the estimation of gas transfer velocity and the whole areas of global estuaries, all of them make it difficult to reach an accurate evaluation ofCO₂ fluxes at the air water interface. It is difficult to predict the future trend of theCO₂ exchange at the air-water interface due to the complexities of the driving forces and feedback mechanisms in estuarine carbon cycle and the intense anthropogenic disturbance. Investigating the mechanism of pCO₂ in estuarine areas, improving the accuracy of evaluation ofCO₂ fluxes and comparing studies of different estuaries would be new scopes in the future researches on the exchange ofCO₂ at the air-water interface in estuaries.     

Advances in Seasonal Variations and Controls of the Air-sea CO2 Flux in the South China Sea

Marine carbon cycle of the South China Sea is an important part of global carbon cycle. Researches on the air-sea CO₂ flux in the South China Sea will help us understand the global carbon cycle and improve the global carbon system parameter database. This paper concisely summarized the changes of partial pressure of CO₂ (pCO₂), air-sea CO₂ fluxes (FCO₂), and related environmental factors in four regions in domains in the South China Sea. The low-salinity area of the upper reaches of the Pearl River estuary in the northern of South China Sea shelf area acted as a strong source of atmospheric CO₂, with high pCO₂（405.3~810.6 Pa）all year round. The lower area of the Pearl River estuary (salinity > 33.7) acted as a weak sink of CO₂ in winter, with relatively low pCO₂ （35.2~37.0 Pa). The northern slope/basin in the South China Sea acted as a source of CO₂ in warm seasons with a relatively high pCO₂ (45.0 Pa), and acted as a sink of CO₂ in cold seasons with a relatively low pCO₂ (34.7 Pa). The west of the Luzon Strait acted as a sink of CO₂ in spring, while it acted as a source of CO₂ in other seasons, with relative high pCO₂ (38.4~47.5 Pa) in winter. The central/southern basin in the South China Sea acted as sources of CO₂, with relative high pCO₂ (41.0 Pa) all the year. Generally, the estimation of annual sea-air CO₂ fluxes showed that most domains in the South China Sea served as weak sources of atmospheric CO₂. In the future, more researches should be focused on the time-series of sea surface pCO₂ and the remote sensing of the sea-air CO₂ fluxes.

巴西桑托斯盆地CO2区域分布及主控因素

桑托斯盆地盐下油气田中发现了大量CO₂,给油气勘探开发和生产都带来诸多困难和挑战.利用地层测试、样品分析及文献资料等,明确了CO₂成因及来源,统计分析了其区域分布特征,并基于区域重磁和深源地震等资料,剖析了控制CO₂分布的地质因素.盆内CO₂主要为幔源—岩浆成因,且幔源CO₂贡献了至少92%的CO₂总量.区域上,CO₂自陆向海呈增加趋势,并相对集中在盆地东部隆起带上.地壳减薄和地幔局部隆升是控制CO₂宏观分布最重要的背景因素.极端的地壳伸展造成了圣保罗地台下部陆壳强烈拉伸减薄,形成了一个面积约5.1×104 km2的地壳减薄区,造成了富含CO₂的地幔物质上拱进入陆壳,宏观上决定了盆内CO₂区域分布.此区域之外,出现高含量CO₂的可能性大幅降低.岩浆侵入和活动断层都是沟通隆升地幔和浅部储层的重要路径,但以断裂沟通最常见.NW-SE向区域走滑断裂和NE-SW向I-II级正断层对CO₂在浅部地层中的分配起控制作用,两组断裂交汇部位或周缘是幔源岩浆或CO₂最集中发育区.
