地球内核粘滞度的动力学估计

最新的地震学研究指出,地球的内核正在对地球的其余部分作相对旋转。根据数值模拟,这一情形可能是由在液态外核中正在作对流运动的流体所保持。另一方面,由于地幔中质量分布的不均匀,巨大的引力将足以便内核与地幔相匹配。内核的不同旋转会通过在旋转时对自身形状的调整民这些强大的引力保持一致,进面可得出在地球最内部区域内有效粘滞度的一个估计。由推测的旋转率得到的内核粘滞度为小于１０＾１６Ｐａ或大于１０＾２０Ｐａ。     

黑龙江西部半干旱区干旱特性评估

研究干旱变化对区域生态环境保护和可持续发展具有重要意义.为评价黑龙江西部半干旱区的干旱变化特性,基于1961～2015年6个站点的气象数据,推求不同时间尺度(1、3、6、12、24个月)的标准化降水指数(SPI)和标准化降水-蒸散指数(SPEI);构建线性回归模型评价主要气象因子对降雨的影响以及SPI和SPEI之间的线...

Field and remote sensing studies reveal that Au-bearing quartz±carbonate lodes in Romite deposit,in the extreme South Eastern Desert of Egypt,are controlled by NNE-striking shear zones that splay from the ca.660—550 Ma Hamisana Zone.Quartz in releasing bends with sinistral shear geometry and abundant boudinaged quartz-carbonate lodes with serrate ribboned fabrics suggest vein formation throughout a transpressive wrench system.Ubiquitous hydrothermal quartz,carbonate,and subordinate chlorite and sericite within the shear zones and as slivers in veins,indicate that gold deposition and hydrothermal alteration occurred under greenschist fades conditions.The Al（Ⅳ） in chlorite indicates a formation temperature of～300℃.comparable with temperatures estimated from arsenopyrite composition for grains intimately associated with gold in quartz veins. The new geological and geochemical data indicate that splays off the Hamisana Zone are potential gold exploration targets.Quartz veins along the high order（2nd or 3rd） structures of this crustal-scale shear zone are favorable targets.In the Romite deposit and in surrounding areas,a Au-As-Cu-Sb-Co-Zn geochemical signature characterizes mineralized zones,and particularly rock chips with>1000 ppm As and high contents of Cu,Zn,and Co target the better mineralized areas. The carbonateδ¹³C_pdb andδ¹⁸O_Smow isotope signatures preclude an organic source of the ore fluid,but metamorphic and magmatic sources are still valid candidates.The intense deformation and lack of magmatism in the deposit area argue for metamorphic dewatering of greenstone rocks as the most likely fluid source.The narrow ranges ofδ¹³C（-4.6‰to -3.1‰） andδ¹⁸O（11.9‰-13.7‰） in carbonate minerals in lodes imply a corresponding uniformity to the ambient temperature andδ¹³C_CO2(δ¹³C_∑C) of the ore fluids. The calculatedδ¹⁸Oh₂o values of 6.9‰—7.9‰for ore fluids,based onδ¹⁸O values of vein quartz further suggest a likely metamorphic origin.     

Magnetic cleansing of weathered/tarry oiled feathers--the role of pre-conditioners

Iron powder has previously been demonstrated to be effective in the removal, via magnetic harvesting, of a wide variety of oil contaminants from feathers and plumage. This study investigates the efficacy of magnetic cleansing for the removal from feathers of tarry contamination that has been allowed to weather. Clusters of feathers from Mallard duck (Anas platyrhnchos) and Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) were completely immersed in a tarry contaminant and allowed to weather from one to fourteen days. The contaminant was removed using a magnetic cleansing protocol and the removal efficacy assessed gravimetrically. For one, seven and fourteen days of weathering, a final removal (after fourteen treatments) of more than 99% and 97% was achieved for duck feathers and penguin feathers, respectively. Repeating the experiments (for a seven-day weathering period) for both duck and penguin feathers, with the judicious application of a pre-conditioner (olive oil), further improved removal efficacy. A convenient method to screen for improved pre-conditioning agents is suggested.     

地球脉动——表现、级别及与古地磁的联系

地球脉动的概念是指地球在其历史中曾发生膨胀和收缩的周期性变化。其根据是构造变动、岩浆活动、地磁极倒转以及海平面升降等方面，在地球的膨胀和收缩期，均有各种表现。构造 海平面升降在地球收缩期形成海退，在膨胀期形成海侵。在一个地球脉动旋回的不同时期，地表、海平面和洋底之间的相互关系均有变化，因而形成“层序”的沉积记录。地磁场的强度和地磁极倒转频率在显生宙有明显变化，有高峰期和平静期。这种频率变化与构造变动和岩浆活动都有对应关系，特别是４Ｍａ为准周期的地磁极倒转频率与海底扩张、洋壳形成速率之间具有良好的对应关系。地球脉动旋回可以分为不同的级次，构成级别体系：超级旋回约１Ｇａ，巨旋回２５０～３００Ｍａ，一级旋回５０～１５０Ｍａ，二级旋回５～５０Ｍａ，三级旋回１～５Ｍａ，均可与构造旋回相对应，更高的级次对构造不形成影响。三级及更长的脉动旋回可能受深部过程的控制。中、新生代以来，地球脉动是在地球适度膨胀的背景下进行的。     

晚第四纪中亚高山湖泊的演化

中亚晚第四纪商山湖泊的演化受到复杂的气候波动釤响,主要由水汽的变化、湖盆冰川作用和径流与 流址的变化而引起的。冷干条件伴随右融水补给的减少和湖退;暖湿条件引起了冰川的后退,增加了融水补给,引起湖进。分布于不同海抜高度的天山和帕米尔竑原地区的湖泊,普遍处于较干旱的环境中,通过对湖盆地貌学、冰川和湖泊沉积物的分布和成份的研究、以及对湖泊沉积物的孢粉分析和埋藏植物碎屑的^l4C年代测定,可以里违晚贝新世以来益山湖泊的演化阶段和中亚高山区的古地理环堍。22000-17000a B.P.,天山查特尔库尔湖和帕米尔喀拉湖为外流淡水湖,面积超过目前的2-3倍。湖泊沉积物中孢粉以干草原植被为主,反映气候较暖湿。16000-11000a B.P.,冻川活动达到极盛,气候寒冷、干燥,湖泊干涸、消失。孢粉频率低,以旱生植物花粉为主。10000-8000a B.P.,温度、湿度提中湿植物和蒿属相对藜科增加,开始湖进。查特尔库尔湖水位较今高12m,面积超过现今3倍;8000—4000a B.P.,天山和东帕米尔的湖盆气侯相对暖湿。4000—3500a B.P.,气候变干,旱生植物花粉增加。3000a B.P.以来以气候干旱化为特征,植被以高山干草原和草原-荒漠为主。1500a B.P.以来气候更趋干早,干旱植物花粉增加,湖水位下降,一直持续至今。据历史和考古资料,公元14-16世纪天山气候暖干化,发生湖退;17—18世纪天山和帕米尔湿度增加,出现湖进。目前该地区湖水位普遍处于下降时期,仅若干冰融水补给湖泊有湖进的迹象。
