湘西北杨家坪寒武纪层序地层

湘西北杨家坪地区在寒武纪时位于扬子地台边缘,主要发育一套碳酸盐岩沉积,其沉积环境经历了从滞流盆地、台前斜坡至台地,且盐度不断增高的过程。根据露头层序地层学原理与方法,首次将该区寒武系划分为４个Ⅰ型层序,各层序的低水位体系域发育较全,且均可在扬子地区进行追踪对比,并阐述了各层序的对应层位、组成和其形成的沉积动力学机制以及海平面变化对沉积过程、生物迁移和环境的控制作用。认为研究区寒武纪存在４个海平面变化旋回,第一个旋回发生于梅树村期至沧浪铺期初期;第二旋回为沧浪铺期早期至龙王庙期中期;第三旋回为龙王庙期晚期至徐庄期早期;第四旋回为徐庄期中期至寒武纪末期,并识别出３个平衡型碳酸盐沉积体系。含油性分析表明,层序Ⅰ的海进体系域、高水位体系域和层序２的低水位体系域为有利的生油层段;层序２、层序３和层序４的海进体系域及高水位体系域为有利的储集层段。

The production of iron oxide during peridotite serpentinization: Influence of pyroxene

Serpentinization produces molecular hydrogen(H2)that can support communities of microorganisms in hydrothermal fields;H2 results from the oxidation of ferrous iron in olivine and pyroxene into ferric iron,and consequently iron oxide(magnetite or hematite)forms.However,the mechanisms that control H2 and iron oxide formation are poorly constrained.In this study,we performed serpentinization experiments at 311℃ and 3.0 kbar on olivine(with 5% pyroxene),orthopyroxene,and peridotite.The results show that serpentine and iron oxide formed when olivine and orthopyroxene individually reacted with a saline starting solution.Olivine-derived serpentine had a significantly lower FeO content(6.57±1.30 wt.%)than primary olivine(9.86 wt.%),whereas orthopyroxene-derived serpentine had a comparable FeO content(6.26±0.58 wt.%)to that of primary orthopyroxene(6.24 wt.%).In experiments on peridotite,olivine was replaced by serpentine and iron oxide.However,pyroxene transformed solely to serpentine.After 20 days,olivine-derived serpentine had a FeO content of 8.18±1.56 wt.%,which was significantly higher than that of serpentine produced in olivine-only experiments.By contrast,serpentine after orthopyroxene had a slightly higher FeO content(6.53±1.01 wt.%)than primary orthopyroxene.Clinopyroxene-derived serpentine contained a significantly higher FeO content than its parent mineral.After 120 days,the FeO content of olivine-derived serpentine decreased significantly(5.71±0.35 wt.%),whereas the FeO content of orthopyroxene-derived serpentine increased(6.85±0.63 wt.%)over the same period.This suggests that iron oxide preferentially formed after olivine serpentinization.Pyroxene in peridotite gained some Fe from olivine during the serpentinization process,which may have led to a decrease in iron oxide production.The correlation between FeO content and SiO_2 or AI_2 O_3 content in olivine-and orthopyroxene-derived serpentine indicates that aluminum and silica greatly control the production of iron oxide.Based on our results and data from natural serpentinites reported by other workers,we propose that aluminum may be more influential at the early stages of peridotite serpentinization when the production of iron oxide is very low,whereas silica may have a greater control on iron oxide production during the late stages instead.     

西江―北江及珠江三角洲汇流区全新世 泥炭腐木层时空分布与环境变化

西江和北江及珠江三角洲西北部汇流区广泛发育全新世的泥炭-淤泥腐木地层,结合剖面的沉积相特征和14C测年数据,对全新世沉积环境和含腐木地层的分布和环境变化进行探讨,获得以下认识：1）在西江和北江下游海侵北界以上的陆相沉积序列中,厚层泥炭主要形成于中晚全新世（7.5―1.5 cal. ka B.P.）,集中堆积时间为5.0―1.5 cal. ka B.P.;2）珠江三角洲全新世海侵对三角洲边缘区陆相泥炭沼泽的形成起决定性作用,早全新世（约9―7 cal. ka B.P.）三角洲西北端的高速率河口相粉砂黏土沉积为后来的半咸水沼泽发育奠定了淤泥深厚的物质基础,而西江―北江下游陆相洪冲积或河漫滩沉积则在8 cal. ka B.P.左右开始发育,也为之后的水松泥炭沼泽繁盛奠定了基础;3）三水西南一带是中全新世西江―北江下游泛滥平原至古河口湾的过渡区,潮汐流与河流的双重作用是造成三角洲边缘区大面积泥炭沼泽湿地形成的主要原因;4）泥炭湿地生态环境大多在2.0―1.5 cal. ka B.P.前后在西江和北江被高位洪水平流沉积物埋藏,而在三角洲区域多被泛滥平原洪积物覆盖。多数剖面泥炭腐木迁移的原因与三角洲的快速加积作用导致的潮流与河流空间位置平衡被破坏和水文条件改变有关,晚全新世不断增强的人类农业活动和森林破坏与水土流失也是导致三角洲天然沼泽湿地消失的重要原因。

Thermohaline structure inhomogeneity associated with polynia at the northern margin of Emery Ice-shelf

Based on the hydrographic data in austral summer during the 22nd Antarctic Expedition of China(2005/2006),some features can be found about the northern margin of Emery ice shelf as follows.The heat content in the surface layer(0-50 m) at the eastern end and the western end of the ice-shelf margin is much higher than that at the middle.The upper mixing-layer depth and the seasonal thermocline depth at the middle of the ice-shelf northern margin are much shallower than those at the both ends.However there is much less difference between the middle and the ends in the bottom layer.The remote sensing photos show that the inhomogeneity in the surface-layer water is closely related to the spatial distribution of the floes and polynia in the area.     

新疆东准噶尔阿尔曼太蛇绿岩中玄武岩地球化学特征及其地质意义

阿尔曼太蛇绿岩带位于新疆东准噶尔地区,蛇绿岩中变质橄榄岩、堆晶岩、基性火山岩较发育,层序组合虽受构造破坏,但从总体来看仍是一套组合比较完整的蛇绿岩,岩石变形变质强烈,普遍发生绿泥石化、绿帘石化。蛇绿岩中基性熔岩可分为3种类型,即洋岛玄武岩(OIB)、洋中脊玄武岩(MORB)和岛弧玄武岩(IAT)。其中洋岛玄武岩不属于蛇绿岩成分,是后期卷入蛇绿岩带随其他组分一同构造就位而成;基性熔岩主量和微量元素特征揭示岩浆源于亏损的地幔源区,且存在消减组分加入的交代作用,表明其成因与俯冲作用有关。结合岩石地球化学特征和构造环境判别图解,基性熔岩显示出IAT和MORB兼具并呈现过渡的特点,推断该蛇绿岩的形成与岛弧相关,其形成可能介于洋脊到海沟之间的偏海沟区域。     

Interannual variation of rare earth element abundances in corals from northern coast of the South China Sea and its relation with sea-level change and human activities

Here we present interannual rare earth element (REE) records spanning the last two decades of the 20th century in two living Porites corals, collected from Longwan Bay, close to the estuarine zones off Wanquan River of Hainan Island and Hong Kong off the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province in the northern South China Sea. The results show that both coral REE contents (0.5-40 ng g?1 in Longwan Bay and 2-250 ng g?1 in Hong Kong for La-Lu) are characterized with a declining trend, which are significantly negative correlated with regional sea-level rise (9.4 mm a?1) from 1981 to 1996 in Longwan Bay, 13.7 mm a?1 from 1991 to 2001 in Hong Kong). The REE features are proposed to be resulted from seawater intrusion into the estuaries in response to contemporary sea-level rise. However, the tendency for the coral Er/Nd time series at Hong Kong site is absent and there is no significant relation between Er/Nd and total REEs as found for the coral at Longwan Bay site. The observations are likely attributed to changes of the water discharge and sediment load of Pearl River, which have been significantly affected by intense human activities, such as the construction of dams/reservoirs and riverbed sediment mining, in past decades. The riverine sediment load/discharge ratio of the Pearl River decreased sharply with a rate of 0.02 kg m?3 a?1, which could make significant contribution to the declining trend of coral REE. We propose that coastal corals in Longwan Bay and similar unexplored sites with little influences of river discharge and anthropogenic disruption are ideal candidates to investigate the influence of sea-level change on seawater/coral REE.     

Origin of Taiwan Canyon and its effects on deepwater sediment

The continental slope of the Taiwan Shoal, which has cultivated numerous submarine canyons, is located in a passive continental margin environment. However, the trend of the Taiwan Canyon, with its 45° intersection angle, is obviously different from that of the erosion valley downward along the continental slope. A distinct break is present in the lower segment of the Taiwan Canyon, which then extends from west to east parallel to the continental slope until finally joining the Manila Trench. By utilizing multiple-beam water depth data, high-resolution seismic data, and sediment cores, this study describes the topographic characteristics of the Taiwan Canyon and provides a preliminary discussion on the origin of the Taiwan Canyon and its effect on deepwater sediment. The terrain, landform, and sediment of the Taiwan Canyon exhibit segmentation characteristics. The upper segment is characterized primarily by erosion, downward cutting with a V shape, and wide development of sliding, slumping, and other gravity flow types. The middle segment is characterized mostly by U-shaped erosion-sedimentation transition and development of an inner levee. The lower segment is characterized primarily by sedimentation and development of a sediment wave. The bottom current has a significant reworking effect on the interior sediments of the canyon and forms reworked sands. The formation and evolution of the Taiwan Canyon is closely related to sediment supply, gravity sliding(slumping), faulting activities, and submarine impaling. Given the sufficient terrigenous clastic supply, the sediments along the continental shelf edge continuously proceed seaward; gliding and slumping in the front edge provide driving forces for the formation of the canyon. Faulting activities result in stratum crushing, and the gravity flow takes priority in eroding the relatively fragile stratum. Thus, the direction of the extension of the canyon crosses the surrounding erosion valley obliquely. Seamounts are formed through submarine impaling. Owing to seamount blocking, the lower segment of the canyon is turned toward the east–west direction. Large amounts of sediments overflow at the turning, forming sediment waves.     

Distribution of winter-spring snow over the Tibetan Plateau and its relationship with summer precipitation in Yangtze River

The distribution of winter-spring snow cover over the Tibetan Plateau(TP) and its relationship with summer precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River Valley(MLYRV) during 2003–2013 have been investigated with the moderate-resolution imaging spectrometer(MODIS) Terra data(MOD10A2) and precipitation observations. Results show that snow cover percentage(SCP) remains approximately 20% in winter and spring then tails off to below 5% with warmer temperature and snow melt in summer. The lower and highest percentages present a declining tendency while the middle SCP exhibits an opposite variation. The maximum value appears from the middle of October to March and the minimum emerges from July to August. The annual and winter-spring SCPs present a decreasing tendency. Snow cover is mainly situated in the periphery of the plateau and mountainous regions, and less snow in the interior of the plateau, basin and valley areas in view of snow cover frequency(SCF) over the TP. Whatever annual or winter-spring snow cover, they all have remarkable declining tendency during 2003–2013, and annual snow cover presents a decreasing trend in the interior of the TP and increasing trend in the periphery of the TP. The multi-year averaged eight-day SCP is negatively related to mean precipitation in the MLYRV. Spring SCP is negatively related to summer precipitation while winter SCP is positively related to summer precipitation in most parts of the MLYRV. Hence, the influence of winter snow cover on precipitation is much more significant than that in spring on the basis of correlation analysis. The oscillation of SCF from southeast to northwest over the TP corresponds well to the beginning, development and cessation of the rain belt in eastern China.
