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。     

青藏高原第四纪冰川作用及其气候响应的讨论

关于青藏高原和周边山地第四纪冰川作用及其气候响应存在不同观点.一些学者认为老冰期主要发生在氧同位素奇数阶段;MIS 3和早全新世存在规模较大的冰川前进;南亚季风对青藏高原冰川作用起主导作用(水汽驱动).另一些学者则认为青藏高原冰川作用主要对应于氧同位素偶数阶段;冰川发育是构造隆升-冰期气候耦合的产物(低温驱动).本文基于现有的陆地生成宇宙核素(TCN)和光释光(OSL)等年代结果总结了不同时间尺度和不同类型冰川波动与气候变化历史的对比,并对几个关键的争议问题做了讨论.结果表明,在不同类型冰川区和不同时间尺度下,冰川作用在湿润期和低温期都有可能发生,但总体上主要与低温相对应.青藏高原冰川对气温的响应似乎更为敏感.MIS 3冰进规模较大可能是降水较多结合冷期(或冷事件)降温所致,显示了印度季风降水和气温波动对高原冰川的共同作用.早全新世冰进也与印度季风和北半球冷事件关系密切.目前的测年数据还没有推翻“冰期发生在氧同位素偶数阶段”这种传统认识.当前急需更多精确的数字定年工作,以不断更新对青藏高原冰期时代及其气候响应机制的了解.     

青藏高原第四纪冰期序列及其意义

普兰丁喀里山口和理塘海子山地区第四纪冰川遗迹的研究进一步证实,近２Ｍａ来,青藏高原经历过５次冰期和４次间冰期。青藏高原第四纪冰期序列的研究,对于完善大陆第四纪冰期序列、研究全球变化、认识中国东部第四纪冰川作用都具有重要意义。     

西藏东南部末次冰期早阶段冰川作用及其古气候意义

西藏东南部的"古乡冰期"和"白玉冰期"是划分中国第四纪冰期的蓝本.其中,白玉冰期即末次冰期,分为早阶段和晚阶段,相对应的冰川沉积广泛分布于本区的波堆藏布谷地.已有的冰川数值年代结果显示,末次冰期晚阶段的冰川作用发生于海洋氧同位素阶段(MIS)2.然而,关于早阶段的冰进记录,目前却未有确切的年代学证据,此次冰川作用究竟发...     

祁连山摆浪河谷地的冰川地貌与冰期

祁连山摆浪河上游是一个以前研究者未曾涉足的地方，我们在这里发现6套保存完好的古冰川沉积和与之对应的冰水阶地以及上覆较厚的黄土 堆积，根据地貌地层学研究和^14C、TL、ESR测年，确认它们分别代表了小冰期、新冰期、同位素2阶段、4阶段、6阶段和12阶段6次冰川作用，是迄今在祁连山地区发现的相对比较确定的清晰齐全的第四纪冰川序列，发生于氧同位素12阶段的中梁赣冰期，表明抬升中的祁连山至少于460kaBP前与冰期气候耦合，进入了当时的冰冻圈。

他念他翁山中段第四纪冰川作用ESR定年初步研究

他念他翁山中段地处青藏高原东南部和云贵高原过渡地带,海拔4 200 m以上保存着确切的第四纪冰川遗迹.对其进行深入研究,不仅可以重建横断山脉冰川作用的演化历史,还能够为青藏高原的隆升机制提供重要依据.采用野外地貌调查与电子自旋共振测年（ESR）相结合的方法,查明他念他翁山第四纪冰川发育的地貌特点,并初步对研究区的冰期系列进行划分.结果显示,他念他翁山中段古冰川类型主要为山麓冰川、山谷冰川和冰斗冰川.晚第四纪以来至少经历了4次冰川作用,分别为倒数第二次冰期（MIS 6）,年代为（192±51）~（207±45）ka;末次冰期中期（MIS 3）,年代为（55±8）~（54±9）ka;末次冰盛期（MIS 2）,年代为（25±1）~（38±6）ka,以及全新世新冰期/小冰期（MIS 1）.     

唐古拉山地区第四纪冰川作用与冰川特征

自中更新世以来,唐古拉山地区发生过3次更新世冰川作用(即昆仑冰期、倒数第二次冰期和末次错冰期)和2次全新世晚期冰进(即新冰期和小冰期冰进).昆仑冰期(最大冰期)发生在中更新世早期(0.80～0.60MaBP),不仅是本区最早的一次冰期,而且也是冰川规模最大的一次冰期,当时的冰川规模比现代冰川大16～18倍;倒数第二次冰期发生在中更新世晚期(0.30～0.135MaBP),比现代冰川大13～15倍;末次冰期发生在晚更新世晚期,应分为末次冰期早冰阶(75.0～58.0kaBP)和晚冰阶(32.0～15.0kaBP,23.0kaBP时达到极盛),但在唐古拉山地区截止目前还未找到早冰阶的冰川遗迹,因此,只对末次冰期的晚冰阶(LMG)进行了探讨.LMG时,冰川规模比现代冰川大10倍;新冰期发生在全新世高温期后,冰碛物的¹⁴C测年为(3540±160)aBP,冰川规模略大于现代冰川;小冰期发生在15～1世纪,冰川规模已接近于现代冰川.由于青藏高原的上升,对高原腹部地区引起的干旱化过程和水分严重不足,使唐古拉山地区的冰川自昆仑冰期以来,冰川规模一次比一次明显的减小.     

基于年代学约束的白马雪山晚第四纪冰川作用

白马雪山(5429m)地处横断山脉腹地,海拔3800m以上保存着确切的第四纪冰川遗迹,对其进行深入研究,可以为重建西南季风影响区的环境演变历史以及区域冰期-间冰期系列对比提供依据.本文采用野外地貌调查与电子自旋共振测年(ESR)相结合的方法,查明白马雪山第四纪冰川发育的地貌特点,并对研究区的冰期系列进行划分.结果显示,白马雪山晚第四纪以来至少发生5次冰川作用,分别为中梁赣冰期(475±62ka,MIS 12);倒数第二次冰期(MIS 6),年代分别为166±22ka、142±17ka、209±23ka、153±15ka、120±16ka和180±20ka;末次冰期早期(MIS 4),年代分别为57±6.8ka、67±8.7ka、81±11ka、77±11ka和64±7.7ka;末次盛冰期(19±2.5ka,LGM,MIS 2)以及全新世新冰期/小冰期(MIS 1).研究区的冰川作用与青藏高原的脉动式抬升具有一定的对应关系.     

从冰川剥蚀作用看念青唐古拉山脉(中段)的隆升

通过对念青唐古拉山主峰地区第四纪冰碛地层划分与同位素测年,发现主峰地区的第四纪冰川分别形成于700～600kaBP、200～140kaBP和70～30kaBP三个时段,指示了自中更新世以来念青唐古拉山中段开始大规模隆升,冰川活动加剧,并堆积了相应的冰碛物。根据念青唐古拉山主峰地区基岩地层与岩性的空间分布、不同火成岩和变质岩组合的形成深度和不同冰期冰碛物砾石成分统计研究,发现冰川对基岩剥蚀与念青唐古拉山中段隆升过程有着明显的对应关系。本文从念青唐古拉山主峰地区的基岩地层的岩石成分和分布的研究,及其对山脉隆升与冰碛物成分的关系等方面,分析了念青唐古拉山脉的切割及其对山脉隆升的反映。念青唐古拉山主峰地区的隆升过程可较好地与青藏高原的隆起相对比,它应是青藏高原隆升的响应。     

The terrestrial fauna of the Late Triassic Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry fissures,South Wales,UK and a new species of Clevosaurus (Lepidosauria: Rhynchocephalia)

Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry in South Wales yielded a rich cache of fossils in the early 1950s, including articulated specimens of new species (the small sauropodomorph dinosaur Pantydraco caducus and the crocodylomorph Terrestrisuchus gracilis), but no substantial study of the wider fauna of the Pant-y-ffynnon fissure systems has been published. Here, our overview of existing specimens, a few described but mostly undescribed, as well as freshly processed material, provides a comprehensive picture of the Pant-y-ffynnon palaeo-island of the Late Triassic. This was an island with a relatively impoverished fauna dominated by small clevosaurs (rhynchocephalians), including a new species, Clevosaurus cambrica, described here from a partially articulated specimen and isolated bones. The new species has a dental morphology that is intermediate between the Late Triassic Clevosaurus hudsoni, from Cromhall Quarry to the east, and the younger C. convallis from Pant Quarry to the west, suggesting adaptive radiation of clevosaurs in the palaeo-archipelago. The larger reptiles on the palaeo-island do not exceed 1.5?m in length, including a small carnivorous crocodylomorph, Terrestrisuchus, and a possible example of insular dwarfism in the basal dinosaur Pantydraco.     

The effect of water on accessory phase solubility in subaluminous and peralkaline granitic melts

The solubilities of columbite, tantalite, wolframite, rutile, zircon and hafnon were determined as a function of the water contents in peralkaline and subaluminous granite melts. All experiments were conducted at 1035 °C and 2 kbar and the water contents of the melts ranged from nominally dry to approximately 6 wt.% H₂O. Accessory phase solubilities are not affected by the water content of the peralkaline melt. By contrast, solubilities are affected by the water content of the subaluminous melt, where the solubilities of all the accessory phases examined increase with the water content of the melt, up to 2 wt.% H₂O. At higher water contents, solubilities are nearly constant. It can be concluded that water is not an important control of accessory phase solubility, although the water content will affect diffusivities of components in the melt, thus whether or not accessory phases will be present as restite material. The solubility behaviour in the subaluminous and peralkaline melts supports previous spectroscopic studies, which have observed differences in the coordination of high field strength elements in dry vs. wet subaluminous granitic glasses, but not for peralkaline granitic glasses. Lastly, the fact that wolframite solubility increases with increasing water content in the subaluminous melt suggests that tungsten dissolved as a hexavalent species.     

Quaternary stresses revealed by calcite twinning inversion: insights from observations in the Savonnières underground quarry (eastern France)

Calcite samples were extracted both from the rock matrix and the superficial coating of a karstified fault plane of an underground quarry, located in the eastern border of the Paris basin. The karstification is dated as Quaternary. Analysis of mechanical calcite twinning reveals that only the calcite matrix has also undergone a compression trending WNW that can be attributed to the Mio-Pliocene alpine collision. Both coating and matrix have undergone a strike-slip regime with σ₁ roughly trending north–south, that could correspond to the regional present-day state of stress, a strike-slip compression rather trending NNW, modified by local phenomena.
