The Centennial Message:Retrospect and Outlook

The year 2022 marks the 100;anniversary for the founding of the Geological Society of China(GSC),one of the oldest scientific societies in China.The GSC was established to address a pressing need for like-minded people to exchange and disseminate ideas and knowledge of geology.     

Repeated Wildfires in the Middle Jurassic Xishanyao Formation (Aalenian and Bajocian Ages) in Northwestern China

The coal-bearing strata in the southern Junggar Basin in northwestern China have recently attracted the attention of coal geologists. Its abundance of coal resources is of great interest as there is a potential of unlocking details about the palaeoclimatic information. Coal deposits have the capacity to record wildfire events, even those with inefficient combustions. To characterize wildfire events and palaeoclimatic history of the Middle Jurassic Xishanyao Formation (Aalenian and Bajocian ages), 22 coal samples from borehole cores and coal mines in the southern Junggar Basin were collected and their macerals were analyzed. The results indicated that fusinite and semi-fusinite were the dominant components of inertinite with proportions of 35.27% and 54.67%, respectively. The presence of inertinite is an indicator that wildfires occurred at the time of peat land development, and the widespread occurrence suggests large scale wildfires during the Middle Jurassic. This study proposes a new parameter for the evaluation of wildfire features by combining burning frequency and burning temperature. The comprehensive evaluation index (CEI) was influenced by the lacustrine basin level and ancient plant types from a sequence framework. During the Middle Jurassic, most wildfires were surface fires with low level and ground fire with high level. High oxygen levels were estimated in the lower, middle, and upper members of the Xishanyao Formation with corresponding to 26.78%, 24.55%, and 23.55%, respectively. The high oxygen levels would be the primary cause of repeated wildfires in the Middle Jurassic. These results are helpful for understanding palaeoclimatic changes in the Middle Jurassic.     

基于SPAC法探测松科二井深层地热储水构造

微动探测技术作为一种获取地下地层速度结构和探测隐伏断裂构造的方法, 具有无须人工源、勘测过程便捷、抗干扰能力强的优势, 在城市、村庄浅层勘探中很受青睐。为进一步探索松辽盆地北部深层地热资源潜力, 在黑龙江省安达市南部松科二井及周边, 布设了一条微动探测剖面, 以获取该区嫩江组至坳陷层底部登娄库组地层的横波速度结构。基于空间自相关法(SPAC)从微动信号的垂直分量中提取S波频散曲线, 通过内插、光滑与反演计算, 获得了一条长9 km、探测深度达到地下4000 m的二维S波速度结构剖面。探测结果表明: 研究区地下S波速度总体呈现西高东低的趋势, 在松科二井西侧100 m、东侧2300 m、东侧3700 m处, 深度1400~2800 m范围内存在三个明显的低速异常带, 推测这些位置很可能存在断层或隐伏断裂构造。结合地层分层资料, 在该深度范围内以泉头组和登娄库组为主, 岩性多为砂岩和泥岩互层, 是良好的水热储层。本研究探索了基于空间自相关法的微动探测在识别深层地热储水构造的适用性, 为松辽盆地北部清洁能源调查指明方向。     

辽东新岭铅锌银矿床成因：来自锆石U-Pb年龄、闪锌矿Rb-Sr年龄和H-O-S-Pb-He同位素证据

辽宁新岭铅锌银矿床位于华北克拉通东北缘,矿体赋存于古元古代辽河群变质岩中,受断裂构造控制。为了确定新岭矿床的成岩成矿时代、成矿流体和物质来源及其与中生代岩浆活动的关系,文章对新岭矿床开展了详细的矿床地质特征、年代学及同位素地球化学研究。结果表明,新岭矿床内与成矿有关花岗斑岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为(227.3±1.5)Ma。5件闪锌矿样品的Rb-Sr等时线年龄为(222.9±2.9)Ma,初始Sr同位素比值为0.7104,确认新岭成岩成矿时代为晚三叠世。成矿流体的δ¹⁸O_W值介于4.7‰～7.6‰,δD_W值介于-97.7‰～-82.0‰,指示成矿流体主要为岩浆热液。黄铁矿³He/⁴He值介于0.15～0.21 Ra,进一步揭示成矿流体具有壳-幔混源特征。黄铁矿样品的LA-ICP-MS原位δ³⁴S值介于+3.9‰～+7.2‰,均值为+5.5‰。6件闪锌矿样品的铅同位素组成为²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb=17...     

三叠纪末期全球生物大灭绝事件研究综述

三叠纪末期生物大灭绝是全球地质历史时期五大生物灭绝事件之一,它致使海洋生态系统中约53%的属和80%的种灭绝。显著灭绝的生物包括菊石类、牙形类、放射虫类和陆地四足动物,发生部分灭绝的生物包括腕足类、介形类、双壳类和珊瑚类等。中大西洋火成岩省（CAMP）的爆发与三叠纪末期生物大灭绝在时间上具有较高的一致性,其火山的高强度和大面积喷发被认为是导致此次灭绝事件发生的主要原因。CAMP爆发释放出大量的CO2、SO2和CH4等气体,一方面温室效应促使海平面升高,物种栖息地面积减少、海洋酸化和海洋缺氧等事件直接威胁着海洋和陆地生物的生存环境;另一方面温室效应亦会引发全球性森林火灾,造成陆地植物减少,大量植物碳屑注入海洋使其发生富营养化,又因伴随海洋酸化作用（碳酸化和硫酸化）,海洋古生产率发生崩溃。不同地质时期生物大灭绝的发生往往伴随着剧烈的环境变化,在三叠纪末生物大灭绝期,这些变化多表现为古大气成分和古气温动荡、古火灾频繁、海洋酸化、海平面升高和海水缺氧等,它们之间的综合作用最终导致三叠纪末期全球生态系统失稳。在全球多个三叠纪—侏罗纪之交（TJB）剖面均可以识别出3次明显的碳同位素负偏移,最显著的1次发生于瑞替期末,早于TJB。上述情况说明,三叠纪末期生物大灭绝虽然是全球性事件,但并不是1次发生的,具有分阶段性、非同步性、区域性和有选择性等特点。

镜泊湖地区杏山火山群的火山岩特征及其岩浆演化

镜泊湖火山区是我国陆内新生代玄武岩研究的一个重要窗口。东南部的杏山火山群研究不足且前人的研究否定了其岩浆经历过同化混染作用。本文对杏山火山群玄武岩开展了系统的岩石学、岩石地球化学和Sr—Nd—Pb同位素的研究,认为杏山火山群主要为碧玄岩和粗面玄武岩,原生岩浆在上升过程中发生了橄榄石和单斜辉石的分离结晶,并在上地壳区域发生了同化混染作用,但同化混染—分离结晶作用较为微弱。将杏山火山群与同期镜泊湖玄武岩对比发现,两个地区的玄武岩都来源于石榴石橄榄岩的部分熔融,杏山火山群的部分熔融程度略低于同期镜泊湖玄武岩。在岩浆源区方面,杏山火山群的岩浆源区为普通地幔与全硅酸盐地球端元的混合源。岩浆源区的不均一性和岩浆演化过程中所经历的同化混染作用是造成杏山火山群和镜泊湖火山群的岩性差异的主要影响因素。     

辽宁大连地区中-新元古界砂岩盐风化穴的发现及意义

A small honeycomb tafoni was found on the surface of the Meso-Neoproterozoic sandstone in Wafangdian area, Dalian, Liaoning Province. It is located on the surface of the northwest side of the outcrop sandstone layer. On the top surface of the sandstone layer and on the east and south sides, the tafoni was not developed. The whole tafoni is round or oval, with a diameter of 1-5cm and a depth of 1-2cm. Through field observation and comparative analysis, it is determined that it is the salt weathering tafoni. It is formed by the precipitation and crystallization of salt from sea fog in sandstone, which causes the detrital particles on the rock surface to fall off and weathering.     

DIURNAL VARIATIONS OF SUMMER PRECIPITATION IN SHANGHAI

This paper investigates the diurnal variations of summer precipitation in Shanghai by using the city''s hourly precipitation data over a span of 35 years. The result shows that the precipitation peaks twice, in the morning and in the afternoon. Precipitation in the morning is characterized by light to moderate rain, and that in the afternoon by heavy to super heavy rain. The peak of short-duration precipitation is mostly found in the afternoon and at dusk, and that of long-duration precipitation in the morning. Most of the precipitation events in Shanghai are of a short duration of 2-3 hours. Basically, the precipitation is spatially distributed in three areas: the eastern coastal and central urban area, where the precipitation peaks mostly in the afternoon, the southern coastal area, where the precipitation peaks both in the afternoon and during the night, and the western area, where long-duration precipitation accounts for a much larger proportion than the other two areas.     

甘肃敦煌盆地侏罗纪原型盆地性质与沉积环境演化

为研究敦煌盆地侏罗纪原型盆地性质及沉积环境演化,本文利用地震资料、航磁资料、野外地质考察资料、同位素定量测年数据,基于前人在阿尔金断裂系构造理论成果,对敦煌盆地基底岩性组成、深部动力学背景、盆地发育时限和盆地性质做了系统研究,认为敦煌盆地与塔里木盆地、柴达木盆地、酒泉盆地的前侏罗纪基底组成不相同,是一个相对独立的盆地。敦煌地块的南部边界为红柳沟—拉配泉断裂,西部边界为民丰—且末断裂带,阿尔金主断裂为敦煌盆地的东部边界。三危山断裂是分割敦煌盆地南北凹陷的控凹断裂,民丰—且末断裂、红柳沟—拉配泉断裂、阿尔金主断裂是控盆断裂。青藏高原南缘的北向超深俯冲、北缘陆内南向的浅俯冲、深部地幔羽结构等多元驱动机制导致敦煌地块显生宙以来大部分时间处于隆升剥蚀状态,很少接受沉积,至侏罗纪塌陷形成敦煌湖盆。敦煌盆地在三叠纪和晚侏罗世—早白垩世青藏高原两次重大的碰撞造山之间的松弛拉张期形成了侏罗纪沉积盆地。敦煌盆地发育经历3个阶段：早侏罗世填平补齐阶段,中侏罗世断陷阶段和晚侏罗世坳陷阶段,其中中侏罗世断陷阶段为主成盆期。
