海洋潜在的能源一天然气水合物

天然气水合物广泛分布在海洋和极地沉积物中。在这种沉积物中具备足够低的温度和足够高的压力使得甲烷气结晶变成水合物。由于水合物的广泛分布和其潜在的能源潜力—据估计其约为地球上所有化石燃料能源的两倍．引起了全世界科学界的关注。然而。至今为止对水合物的性质和分布还了解不够，还没有合适的技术能对水合物进行定量的评价。根据地形、海底温度、沉积条件以及有机碳等资料指出在印度近海具备天然气水合物形成的条件。因此有必要在印度大陆边缘系统开展地质、地球化学和地球物理分析，以识别和估算天然气水合物的储量，评价其资源潜力。类似“气烟囱”或气体溢出持征、地震剖面上的BSR、氯化物或硫化物异常都是识别水合物的有用标志。层析成像、AVO、波形反演是定量分析水合物和游离气含量的重要手段。此外，在地震方法无法识别的地方，电阻率异常也有助干天然气水合物的识别。本文给出一些划出水合物赋存区边界和定量分析水合物及其下伏游离气含量的重要研究成果和技术。     

欧亚冰盖的消融

巴巴多斯和新几内亚的海平面变化表明：在过去的15000a中曾有过两次大规模的冰川融水流．同其它环境变化(如北大西洋深水环流)相比，这两次融水流形成的时间显然有助于我们进一步了解从未次冰期到问冰期的气候变迁及新仙女木事件．     

等离子体技术及其在地质上的应用

激光烧蚀微探针等离子体质谱的地质应用。自1989年以来，我们实验室就积极开展了激光烧蚀微探针(LAM)试样引入系统的研究工作，这种技术适合于ICP—MS分析地质样品中小体积矿物(激光烧蚀孔穴直径低于10—100μm)．对某些样品．采用Nd：YAG激光的基本IR波长(1064nm)，作为多数用途，4倍频率(uv)的波长(266nm)能产生较小的直径，并较好地形成孔穴．     

赤道太平洋的环流

一.引 言 赤道太平洋上层海洋环流的主要特征已被建立十多年了。1942年斯维尔德鲁普等人描述了中太平洋的表面流:往西流的北和南赤道流以及往东流的北赤道逆流。随后,南赤道逆流也被用表面动力高度图表示出来(Reia,1961),Cromwell等人(1954)发现了赤道潜流,从而对上述环流的描述进行了主要修正。Hisard和Rual(1970)发现了赤道潜流下面     

Evaluating the effects of protection on fish predators and sea urchins in shallow artificial rocky habitats: a case study in the northern Adriatic Sea

Man-made defence structures (e.g., breakwaters, jetties) are becoming common features of marine coastal landscapes all around the world. The ecology of assemblages of species associated with such artificial structures is, however, poorly known. In this study, we evaluated the density and size of fish predators of echinoids (i.e., Diplodus sargus, Diplodus vulgaris, Sparus aurata), and the density of sea urchins (i.e., Paracentrotus lividus) at defence structures (i.e., breakwaters) inside and outside the marine protected area of Miramare (northern Adriatic Sea) in order to: (1) assess possible differences in fish predator density and size between protected and fished breakwaters; (2) assess whether fish predation may have the potential to affect sea urchin density in artificial rocky habitats. Surveys were carried out at four random times over a period of two years. Total density, and density of medium- and large-sized individuals of the three predatory fishes were generally greater at the protected than at the fished breakwaters, whereas no differences were detected in the density of small-sized individuals. Density of the sea urchin P. lividus did not show any difference between protected and fished breakwaters. The results of this study suggest that: (1) protection may significantly affect predatory fishes in artificial rocky habitats; (2) differences in predatory fish density, and size may be unrelated with the density of the sea urchin P. lividus; (3) protected artificial structures such as breakwaters, originally planned for other purposes, could represent a potential tool for fish population recovery and enhancement of local fisheries.     

气体水合物中大量甲烷释放引起大气圈组分、放射压力和气候的改变

陆坡上水合物矿床中甲烷(CH4)的灾难性释放已显著干扰了古新世／始新世温度最高(PETM)期(约55．5Ma)的全球气候和碳循环。我们调查了所有PETM期古温度和古二氧化碳替代矿物是否与假设考虑大量增加的甲烷散发到大气圈的影响相一致。     

Changing anthropogenic influence on the Santa Monica Bay watershed

Santa Monica Bay is an open coastal embayment located directly seaward of Los Angeles, California. The Bay provides vital economic value through its water-dependent activities, such as swimming, diving, boating, and fishing. An increase from 100,000 residents in 1900 to 10 million in 2000 has imposed numerous environmental stressors on the Bay, including urbanization of the watershed. Pollutant discharges into the Bay increased throughout the early part of the century, but declined following passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972. Since that time, the predominant source of pollutant inputs has changed from point sources to non-point urban runoff. To assess how present-day and historical pollution interact to affect the environmental quality of Santa Monica Bay, three organizations collaborated on a multi-disciplinary study in 1997, towards which this volume is focused. This paper details the temporal patterns of anthropogenic influence on Santa Monica Bay to provide context for the papers that follow.     

Marine mammals from northeast Atlantic: relationship between their trophic status as determined by delta13C and delta15N measurements and their trace metal concentrations

The relationship between trophic position through delta13C and delta15N and trace metal concentrations (Zn, Cd, Cu and Hg) was investigated in the tissues of six marine mammal species from the Northeast Atlantic: striped dolphin Stenella coeruleoalba, common dolphin, Delphinus delphis, Atlantic white-sided dolphin Lagenorhynchus acutus, harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena, white beaked-dolphin Lagenorhynchus albirostris, grey seal Halichoerus grypus stranded on French Channel and Irish coasts. White-beaked dolphins, harbour porpoises, white-sided dolphins, common and striped dolphins display the same relative and decreasing trophic position, as measured by delta15N values, along both the Irish and French channel coasts, reflecting conservative trophic habits between these two places. Hepatic and renal Cd concentrations were significantly correlated to muscle delta13C and delta15N values while Hg, Zn and Cu did not. These results suggest that Cd accumulation is partly linked to the diet while other factors such as age or body condition might explain Hg, Zn or Cu variability in marine mammals. Combined stable isotope and trace metal analyses appear to be useful tools for the study of marine mammal ecology.
