The granite problem as exposed in the southern Snake Range,Nevada

A geochemically and mineralogically diverse group of granitoids is present within an area of 900 km² in the southern Snake Range of eastern Nevada. The granitoids exposed range in age from Jurassic through Cretaceous to Oligocene and include two calcic intrusions, two different types of two-mica granites, and aplites. The younger intrusions appear to have been emplaced at progressively more shallow depths. All of these granitoid types are represented elsewhere in the eastern Great Basin, but the southern Snake Range is distinguished by the grouping of all these types within a relatively small area. The Jurassic calcic pluton of the Snake Creek-Williams Canyon area displays large and systematic chemical and mineralogical zonation over a horizontal distance of five km. Although major element variations in the pluton compare closely with Daly's average andesite-dacite-rhyolite over an SiO₂ range of 63 to 76 percent, trace element (Rb, Sr, Ba) variations show that the zonation is the result of in situ fractional crystallization, with the formation of relatively mafic cumulates on at least one wall of the magma chamber. Models of trace element and isotopic data indicate that relatively little assimilation took place at the level of crystallization. Nonetheless, an initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr value of 0.7071 and δ ¹⁸O values of 10.2 to 12.2 permil suggest a lower crustal magma that was contaminated by upper crustal clastic sedimentary rocks before crystallization. The involvement of mantle-derived magmas in its genesis is difficult to rule out. Two other Jurassic plutons show isotopic and chemical similarities to the Snake Creek-Williams Canyon pluton. Cretaceous granites from eastern Nevada that contain phenocrystic muscovite are strongly peraluminous, and have high initial Sr-isotope ratios and other features characteristic of S-type granitoids. They were probably derived from Proterozoic metasediments and granite gneisses that comprise the middle crust of this region. Another group of granitoids (including the Tertiary aplites) show chemical, mineralogic, and isotopic characteristics intermediate between the first two groups and may have been derived by contamination of magmas from the lower crust by the midcrustal metasediments.     

Risk Management for Petroleum Reservoir Production: A Simulation-Based Study of Prediction

We consider numerical solutions of the Darcy and Buckley–Leverett equations for flow in porous media. These solutions depend on a realization of a random field that describes the reservoir permeability. The main content of this paper is to formulate and analyze a probability model for the numerical coarse grid solution error. We explore the extent to which the coarse grid oil production rate is sufficient to predict future oil production rates. We find that very early oil production data is sufficient to reduce the prediction error in oil production by about 30%, relative to the prior probability prediction.     

南山坪古油藏的形成及其破坏因素分析

南山坪古油藏以南山坪背斜(圈闭)为依托，油藏的形成、破坏与背斜(圈闭)的形成及演化息息相关。加里东晚期-海西早期的构造运动形成了南山坪背斜的雏形，与之对应的是最初的油藏形成；南山坪背斜在印支运动得到加强，形成构造圈闭，与之对应的是原油藏裂解生气及烃源岩进入生气阶段，形成气藏及部分沥青。之后的燕山运动Ⅱ幕使得南山坪背斜(圈闭)被褶皱和断层复杂化，形成由东南向北西的逆冲断裂，其上覆盖层抬升、剥蚀，原油藏彻底破坏，成为古油藏。分析认为，南山坪古油藏的破坏因素主要是印支期的热裂解和燕山运动Ⅱ幕的构造抬升、剥蚀，且后者更为主导因素。比较南山坪古油藏、余杭泰山古油藏及威远气藏，力图寻找其共性及差异性，从而为中国南方的油气勘探提供借鉴意义。

Modeling forced pool–riffle hydraulics in a boulder-bed stream, southern California

The mechanisms which control the formation and maintenance of pool–riffles are fundamental aspects of channel form and process. Most of the previous investigations on pool–riffle sequences have focused on alluvial rivers, and relatively few exist on the maintenance of these bedforms in boulder-bed channels. Here, we use a high-resolution two-dimensional flow model to investigate the interactions among large roughness elements, channel hydraulics, and the maintenance of a forced pool–riffle sequence in a boulder-bed stream. Model output indicates that at low discharge, a peak zone of shear stress and velocity occurs over the riffle. At or near bankfull discharge, the peak in velocity and shear stress is found at the pool head because of strong flow convergence created by large roughness elements. The strength of flow convergence is enhanced during model simulations of bankfull flow, resulting in a narrow, high velocity core that is translated through the pool head and pool center. The jet is strengthened by a backwater effect upstream of the constriction and the development of an eddy zone on the lee side of the boulder. The extent of flow convergence and divergence is quantified by identifying the effective width, defined here as the width which conveys 90% of the highest modeled velocities. At low flow, the ratio of effective width between the pool and riffle is roughly 1:1, indicating little flow convergence or divergence. At bankfull discharge, the ratio of effective width is approximately 1:3 between the pool and downstream riffle, illustrating the strong flow convergence at the pool head. The effective width tends to equalize again with a ratio of 1:1 between the pool and riffle during a modeled discharge of a five-year flood, as the large roughness elements above the pool become drowned out. Results suggest that forced pool–riffle sequences in boulder-bed streams are maintained by flows at or near bankfull discharge because of stage-dependent variability in depth-averaged velocity and tractive force.     

金沙江虎跳峡成因及形成时代探讨

虎跳峡是金沙江峡谷的典型代表,其成因及形成时代涉及金沙江-长江水系发育及其环境效应问题。文中分析研究了虎跳峡附近发育的夷平面、剥蚀面、阶地等区域性的层状地貌,并认为虎跳峡上下游河谷发育历史具有一致性;从地质构造上的分析表明,虎跳峡两侧的玉龙雪山、哈巴雪山为一相对完整的地块,不存在虎跳峡大断裂,因而虎跳峡峡谷是在区域地壳抬升、先成河深切作用下而形成的。根据相关盆地沉积物、玉龙雪山的冰川发育状况、前人在附近发现的哺乳动物化石等,初步认为虎跳峡峡谷形成于中更新世。

青藏高原东缘晚新生代大邑砾岩的 物源分析与水系变迁*

成都盆地晚新生代碎屑沉积物的快速堆积是青藏高原东缘强烈隆升的产物,同时为青藏高原东缘晚新生代的隆升提供了强有力的证据。文章以盆地底部的大邑砾岩作为研究切入点,详细研究了它的物源区,以深化对青藏高原东缘晚新生代隆升过程的理解。通过砾石成分统计、砂岩薄片鉴定、重矿物分析以及古流向恢复等方面的研究表明,成都盆地北部和南部的大邑砾岩分别受不同的物源区和河流所控制。其中北部的大邑砾岩受控于出口在都江堰南约4km处向南流的河流所控制,其物源区为玉堂镇以西、汶川-茂汶断裂以东的流域范围内。而南部的大邑砾岩则主要受向东流的古青衣江的控制,其物源区即为现代青衣江流域。大邑砾岩的物源分析表明晚新生代期间岷江和青衣江都曾发生河流改道。
