Satellite evidence for no change in terrestrial latent heat flux in the Three-River Headwaters region of China over the past three decades

Terrestrial latent heat flux (LE) in the Three-River Headwaters region (TRHR) of China plays an essential role in quantifying the amount of water evaporation and carbon sink over the high altitude Tibetan Plateau (TP). Global warming is expected to accelerate terrestrial hydrological cycle and to increase evaporation. However, direct field observations are lacking in this region and the long-term variability in LE remains uncertain. In this study, we have revised a semi-empirical Penman LE algorithm based on ground eddy covariance (EC) observations from an alpine grass site and provided new satellite-based evidence to assess LE change in the TRHR during 1982–2010. Our results show that the average annual terrestrial LE in the TRHR is about 38.8 W/m ² and there is no statistically significant change in annual LE from 1982 to 2010. We also found that during the same time period, terrestrial LE over the east region of the TRHR significantly decreased, on average, by 0.7 W/m ² per decade, which was driven primarily by the surface incident solar radiation (R_s) limitation, offsetting the increased LE over the west region of the TRHR caused by the increased precipitation (P) and soil moisture (SM).     

Status of Stratigraphy Research in China

Scientific research and productive practice for earth history are inseparable from the accurate stratigraphic framework and time framework. Establishing the globally unified, precise and reliable chronostratigraphic series and geological time series is the major goal of the International Commission on Stratigraphy(ICS). Under the leadership of the ICS, the countries around the world have carried out research on the Global Standard Stratotype-section and Points(GSSPs) for the boundaries of chronostratigraphic systems. In the current International Chronostratigraphic Chart(ICC), 65 GSSPs have been erected in the Phanerozoic Eonothem, and one has yet been erected in the Precambrian Eonothem. Based on the progress of research on stratigraphy especially that from its subcommissions, the ICS is constantly revising the ICC, and will publish a new International Stratigraphic Guide in 2020. After continual efforts and broad international cooperation of Chinese stratigraphers, 10 GSSPs within the Phanerozoic Eonothem have been approved and ratified to erect in China by the ICS and IUGS. To establish the standards for stratigraphic division and correlation of China, with the support from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the China Geological Survey, Chinese stratigraphers have carried out research on the establishment of Stages in China. A total of 102 stages have been defined in the "Regional Chronostratigraphic Chart of China(geologic time)", in which 59 stages were studied in depth. In 2014, the "Stratigraphic Chart of China" was compiled, with the essential contents as follows: the correlation between international chronostratigraphy and regional chronostratigraphy of China(geologic time), the distributive status of lithostratigraphy, the characteristics of geological ages, the biostratigraphic sequence, the magnetostratigraphy, the geological events and eustatic sea-level change during every geological stage. The "Stratigraphical Guide of China and its Explanation(2014)" was also published. Chinese stratigraphers have paid much attention to stratigraphic research in south China, northeast China, north China and northwest China and they have made great achievements in special research on stratigraphy, based on the 1:1000000, 1:250000, 1:200000 and 1:50000 regional geological survey projects. Manifold new stratigraphic units were discovered and established by the regional geological surveys, which are helpful to improve the regional chronostratigraphic series of China. On the strength of the investigation in coastal and offshore areas, the status of marine strata in China has been expounded. According to the developing situation of international stratigraphy and the characteristics of Chinese stratigraphic work, the contrast relation between regional stratigraphic units of China and GSSPs will be established in the future, which will improve the application value of GSSPs and the standard of regional stratigraphic division and correlation. In addition, the study of stratigraphy of the Precambrian, terrestrial basins and orogenic belts will be strengthened, the Stratigraphic Chart of China will be improved, the typical stratigraphic sections in China will be protected and the applied study of stratigraphy in the fields of oil and gas, solid minerals, etc. will be promoted. On the ground of these actions, stratigraphic research will continue to play a great role in the social and economic development of China.     

云南勐野井钾矿区及周边泉水水化学特征及地表钾异常成因分析

勐野井钾盐矿位于云南省兰坪-思茅盆地的南部,是我国目前发现的唯一一个具有工业开采价值的固体钾盐矿床.本文对该矿区及周边泉水等的水化学特征和地表钾异常成因进行了探讨.研究区含盐地层分布广泛,盐泉出露较多,通过对地表泉水、泉水沉积物、水中逸出气体及垂直断裂的测线剖面样品等取样分析,可以捕捉地表钾异常信息,对于成钾机理研究和钾盐找矿都有着积极的作用.结合以往研究证实了勐野井矿区附近盐泉水具有I级异常显示.沿垂直于断裂方向的剖面采集的土壤样品中,钾及相关组分的峰值和谷值的出现有一定的规律性,认为各元素含量异常是由深部流体(水、气)沿断裂上升补给造成的.泉水稀有气体He主要为深部壳源,个别为幔源,推断研究区的大断裂可能切至深部地壳,个别深切到软流圈上部.泉水氢氧同位素和锶同位素组成研究表明,该区泉水具有深部补给特征,存在一定程度的水-岩反应,受火山岩的影响较大,氢氧同位素和矿物学研究表明,深部热液在勐野井钾盐矿床形成过程中起重要作用.本研究认为深部补给是勐野井矿区及周边地表钾异常形成的重要补给源,火山岩可能是重要的物质来源之一,而断裂带是其重要的控制因素.

山东省烟台市牟平区宋家沟金矿区内莱阳群林寺山组砾岩碎屑锆石UPb年龄地质意义

山东省烟台市宋家沟牟平区金矿区内发育有莱阳群林寺山组砾岩,该组砾岩分选性较差,既有近椭圆磨圆度极高砾石,也有棱角分明无磨圆砾石,反映了砾岩源区复杂的特点。该文对砾岩内碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄段的分析得到碎屑锆石年龄分别落入640~770Ma,540~570Ma和(228±4)Ma,通过对这些年龄时段的分析,新元古代活动大陆边缘事件的花岗质片麻岩、震旦纪时代的岩体、柳林庄序列喷出岩都可能是其母岩。根据研究区内此类岩石的出露情况分析得到其近源与远距离搬运沉积两种结果,并与前人研究相对比,得到该组砾岩物源区为苏鲁造山带,说明在胶莱盆地形成之初,东北缘的物源区就以苏鲁造山带为主。该认识对于研究胶东地区的造山带不同时期地质事件具有重要意义。     

台风“麦莎”对大连地区造成暴雨的分析

选取登路北上,在大连地区造成强降水的热带气旋0509"麦莎",对其影响大连地区期间的环境流场、路径特征及物理量场进行诊断分析。结果表明,稳定的副热带高压及非纬向高空急流与低空急流的耦合,使来自东南洋面的丰沛水汽不断输送到大连地区,且有利于"麦莎"的北上。"麦莎"在北上过程中,没有从中纬度西风槽获得斜压能量,并没有变性加强。同时,借助于卫星云图、多普勒雷达资料,分析"麦莎"暴雨的中小尺度系统,结果表明导致大连地区强降水的主要系统是两个中-β尺度系统,暴雨落区在"麦莎"的东北侧。     

烟台海洋倾倒区生物群落结构现状及动态变化分析

利用烟台海洋倾倒区2008年的监测结果和相关历史资料,分别对倾倒区的生物群落结构现状及动态变化过程进行研究。倾倒区内目前有浮游植物18种,浮游动物23种,底栖生物17种。浮游植物以硅藻门的新月菱形藻(Nitzschia closterium W.Smith)占有绝对优势,浮游动物的优势种为中华哲水蚤(Calanus sinicus Brodsky)和强壮箭虫(Sagitta crassa Tokioka),底栖生物的组成以环节动物最多,优势种不明显。综合指数分析表明倾倒区海域的生物群落结构相对稳定。然而,多年的疏浚物倾倒使该区的生物群落发生了变化。与倾倒初期相比,浮游植物的种类数量减少,物种多样性总体上呈现下降趋势;浮游动物的种类数量和密度在2006年的调查中出现最低值,群落结构趋向单调,至2008年这一趋势有所缓和;底栖生物的种类数量和密度较倾倒初期也有明显的下降,多样性指数的降低和优势度的增大也预示群落结构稳定性的下降。
