Study on the Temporal-Spatial Evolution of Prehistoric Settlements and Its Correlation with Subsistence Strategy and Climate History in the Western Liao River Area

Western Liao River area is one of the most important birthplaces of agricultural civilization in northern China. With recent works like relics survey, site excavation and environmental archaeology going further, the time sequence, cultural content and subsistence strategy history of this area are getting explicit. Questions like ancient exploiting history of natural resources, climate background and cultural impact of subsistence strategy have been paid great attention. Traditional environmental archaeology methods like plant and animal remains analysis are mostly utilized to conduct in-site investigation, current studies rarely adopt quantitative methods to examine the sites’ macro temporal-spatial distribution and aggregation pattern. Based on abundant digitized relic survey data, GIS methods like kernel density analysis are utilized to indicate the temporal-spatial distribution and aggregation pattern of prehistoric cultures in Western Liao River area. The latitudinal, longitudinal and altitudinal migrations of site distributional core are indicated by 3D perspective shift and elevation statistics. By referencing existing studies on subsistence strategy and paleoclimate history, results of spatial analysis are used to reveal the correlation among sites’ temporal-spatial distribution, subsistence strategy adopted and climate variation. This also contributes to our understanding and utilization of massive locational information of prehistoric sites in ancient man-land relationship study.     

Fifteen Years of Ocean Observations with China Argo

For 15 years since the beginning of China Argo project, China has deployed over 350 profiling floats in Pacific and Indian ocean, and constructed China Argo ocean observing network. Moreover, we have setup the Argo data receiving, processing and distributing system, and developed various Argo data products using Argo observations, which has promoted the progress of ocean data sharing in China. The abundant Argo data have become a main data source in oceanic and atmospheric basic researches and operational applications. A batch of important achievements in basic research and operational application have been brought, e.g. in aspects of tropical cyclone (typhoon), ocean circulation, meso-scale eddy, turbulence, heat/salt storage and transport and water mass, as well as in ocean, atmosphere/climate operational forecasting and predicting. With the extension of the international Argo program from “Core Argo” to “Global Argo”, we are faced with great challenges in the long-term maintaining and sustained developing of our Argo ocean observing network. It is suggested that we should take the opportunity to construct China regional Argo ocean observing network as soon as possible in adjacent northwestern Pacific and Indian ocean using Chinese BeiDou profiling floats, which will make us to take responsibility and obligation of a big country for addressing global climate changes and preventing natural disasters.     

Comparative Study of the Carbon Emission Situation and Goals between China and India

As the two large developing and populous countries, China and India face the dual challenges of economic development and climate change. Both of them are active in carbon emissions reduction, while India also bears the pressure of being “benchmarked” against China. With taking China and India as the sample of a comparative analysis, and the statistical value of a long sequence as the basic analysis data, based on the detailed analysis and comparison of carbon emissions history, the carbon emissions situation of the two countries from various dimensions including economic development, energy reserves and consumption, etc. were comparatively analyzed. The carbon intensity and energy structure after achieving the objectives were measured and compared by focusing on the carbon emissions reduction targets in China and India. The comparative results show that: China’s total carbon emissions are greater than India’s, but the growth rate of emissions, per capita emissions are significantly lower than India’s, while the carbon intensity decreases significantly faster than that of India. China has taken more efforts to make commitments to carbon reduction than India. With India’s energy structure adjustment, the situation will be gradually better than that in China.     

Comparative Analysis of International Energy Consumption Characteristics and China's Countermeasures

With the rise of low carbon economy and the deterioration of the international energy situation, most countries in the world pay more attention to energy issues. In this paper, based on a comparison with several countries of large energy consumption, we used long sequence statistics to analyze the energy consumption characteristics from the world and the history, including energy consumption, energy consumption structure and energy efficiency, and then summed up the characteristics of energy consumption in developed countries, analyzed China's energy consumption process and the current stage, and found out the main problems of energy consumption in China. At last, countermeasures for the healthy development of China's energy were proposed, including actively promoting scientific and technological progress, upgrading energy structure, developing low carbon economy, rationalizing energy prices, improving the proportion of clean energy consumption and emphasizing synergistic effect on environment protection.     

西藏浪卡子也金嘎波金矿地球化学异常特征及勘查标志

也金嘎波金矿位于冈底斯成矿带上。该矿是在区域化探发现Au、As、Ag等多元素组合异常的基础上,通过矿点检查、异常查证和地质普查等工作新发现的、具较大规模的热液型金矿床。Au元素为区域、矿区成矿指示元素,伴生元素有W、As、Sb、Ag、Bi、Pb、Hg、Mo等。金矿体受构造—岩浆岩带控制,围岩蚀变主要为硅化、绢云母化、碳酸盐化、高岭土化。该金矿床的发现对在高寒山区应用地球化学方法寻找新的金矿具有指导意义。     

拉萨地块林芝杂岩体石榴角闪岩的地球化学特征和年代学研究

本文对位于青藏高原拉萨地体东南缘林芝杂岩中的两类石榴角闪岩进行了详细的地球化学和锆石U-Pb年代学研究。这两类石榴角闪岩分别为硅不饱和的含十字石石榴角闪岩和硅饱和的含石英石榴角闪岩。含十字石石榴角闪岩矿物组合为十字石、石榴子石、角闪石、钠云母、绿泥石、斜长石。石英石榴角闪岩矿物组合为石榴子石、角闪石、石英、斜长石、黑云母。岩石学及变质相平衡研究表明两类石榴角闪岩均经历了高压角闪岩相变质作用。含十字石石榴角闪岩和石英石榴角闪岩具有MORB的地球化学特征,锆石U-Pb年代学分析获得了800~200 Ma的206Pb/238U年龄范围,出现了~430 Ma、~268 Ma和~216 Ma年龄峰值。~430 Ma年龄可能和拉萨地体岩浆活动有关,~268 Ma变质年龄和~216 Ma变质年龄和拉萨地块经历的高压变质作用有关。其中~268 Ma年龄和拉萨地块内部松多高压带榴辉岩的峰期变质年龄一致,而~216 Ma年龄和榴辉岩的围岩含石榴子石片岩年龄一致。对比该区域的年代学研究成果,这表明林芝杂岩体不仅经历了中新生代的变质和岩浆再造活动,还经历了古特提斯洋闭合,南北拉萨地块发生碰撞的晚二叠世的高压变质作用和三叠纪的中压变质作用。     

欧亚大陆东缘存在一个巨型深断裂系统——基于卫星重力的新发现

通过对卫星重力数据的精细处理,发现欧亚大陆东缘存在一个规则分布的重力异常组合,这个异常组合与中国大陆上的已知断裂严格对应。SinoProbe探测计划实施的反射地震探测出这些断裂下方存在Moho破裂,幔源物质上涌,剩余重力异常,莫霍面破裂,高密度的幔源物质上涌和深断裂之间存在密切联系。依照这个联系规律,对已有断裂的延伸补充,显示出欧亚大陆东缘存在一个巨型深断裂系统,主断裂带南起中国广州向北延伸直至鄂霍次克海,绵延逾3000 km。沿主断裂带东侧近似等间距的平行分布着9条北东向断裂,北东向断裂向东入海至大陆边缘。采用数值方法模拟了断裂系统的形成过程,在菲律宾板块和太平洋板块近NW方向构造力的作用下,欧亚大陆东缘产生NNE向走滑断层,其东侧生成彼此平行,间距大体相等的派生断层。断层形成过程中,Moho破裂,大量地幔物质上涌,形成中国东部中生代以来的巨量火山岩浆活动,控制了内生金属矿床的分布。这个断裂系统近代还在活动,导致了郯城8.5级大地震和长白山的火山喷发。     

矿床成矿系列——五论矿床的成矿系列问题

矿床的成矿系列(简称成矿系列)是矿床学领域的一个理论性概念,由五级序次组成。矿床成矿系列是成矿系列的第二序次,是成矿系列的核心部分。矿床成矿系列的划分,以岩浆、沉积、变质、表生和流体(非岩浆-非变质成因流体)5种成矿作用为基本原则,以成矿地质环境为基础,结合成矿的时段与形成的矿床组合进行划分。本文对矿床成矿系列时空范围、时空组成结构、矿化强度与演化、成矿区带内不同矿床成矿系列之间的演化、叠加和复合作用及对指导找矿的意义进行了论述。

在西藏羌塘盆地昂达尔错地区前人划分的上三叠统角木日茶卡组中发现了二叠纪化石分子Acanthopecten cf.coloradoensis(Newbrry)和Pterinopectinella?sp.,结合岩石组合特征,经过进一步开展生物年代对比及区域地层对比,将该套角木日茶卡组重新厘定为中二叠统龙格组,从而首次将羌塘盆地东南侧出露地层的时代下限由原来的上三叠统修正至中二叠统,增添了新的古生物化石证据。首次明确了中央隆起带东段的南羌塘地区中新生代之下存在晚古生代地层,为今后更深入研究羌塘盆地零星出露的古生代地层及地质演化提供了重要基础资料。     

贵州独山地区富硫铁矿分布规律及找矿意义

独山箱状背斜上富硫铁矿床(点)星罗棋布,且常与锑、铅锌、汞相伴出现,矿体赋存于北西向与北东东向、北东向共轭剪切断裂带及其旁侧影响带内,含矿围岩主要为中泥盆统独山组灰岩、白云岩及下泥盆统丹林组和舒家坪组石英砂岩。因围岩岩性的不同,而使硫铁矿与锑、铅锌、汞之间形成不同的矿产组合,因此本区富硫铁矿不仅自身具有重要的经济价值,而且还是锑、铅锌、汞矿的间接找矿标志。
