使用全站仪实测了天山南麓北轮台逆断裂库尔楚段阿克艾肯-喀腊萨喀腊阿塔木冲洪积扇断层崖地形地貌,采用10Be测年方法测定了该冲洪积扇的形成年龄,得到该断裂段垂直位移滑动速率为0.48 mm/a、0.85～1.0 mm/a和1.52 mm/a,并对该断裂段的水平缩短速率和天山第四纪水平缩短量进行了讨论.

An unusual jaw found in a calcite nodule from Collishaw Point, Hornby Island, British Columbia (off the east coast of Vancouver Island) represents the first definitive pterosaur found in British Columbia, and the first istiodactylid from Canada.     

Effect of near-fault earthquakes with forward directivity on telecommunication towers

In this paper, the effect of pulse-type motions caused by forward directivity that can release huge amounts of energy in a short time period is studied on a telecommunication tower. Since telecommunication towers have longer periods, they are not as affected by seismic forces. Nevertheless, near source earthquakes characterized by high velocity and velocity pulses can change the behavior of these structures. For this reason, a telecommunication tower located near active faults was selected in this study. Considering the probable earthquake magnitude at the site and the distance of the tower from adjacent faults, nine simulated pulses and three near-fault earthquake records with forward directivity are selected and applied to a 3D fi nite element model of the tower. The results of nonlinear dynamic analysis, i.e., displacements and damage in the tower, indicate that the maximum displacement and drift ratio of the tower under the pulses are obviously affected by the ratio of the structure period to pulse period. When this ratio is decreased and close to 1.0, the maximum displacement and drift ratio are sharply increased and cause large displacements in the tower.     

由区域震及远震波形得到中国溧阳1974和1979年地震的断裂机制——在以断层为界的盆地下构造逆转的证据

中国东部1974年和1979年溧阳地震是两次中强地震,但属破坏性地震。第一次地震(M_s=5.5)于1974年4月22日发生在人口密集的地区。第二次地震(M_s=5.7)于1979年7月9日几乎在同一地区发生。两次地震震中位于两断层的交汇附近,在晚中生代到晚第三纪的沉积拉张盆地内。本文利用2°和90°之间的长周期P波、SH波及短周期远震PD波波形,确定两次地震具有逆冲分量的走滑震源机制。这一机制与较早用P波初动解得到的结果有明显不同。后者得到两次地震的走滑分量和正滑分量。本次研究的结果是,1974年地震机制是走向126°,倾角71°,滑动角33°。震源深度、地震矩和应力降分别为12km,8.4×10~(23)dyne-cm(1dyne=10~(-5)N)和41bar。1979年地震机制是走向41°,倾角64°,滑动角147°。震源深度、地震矩和应力降分别为7.5km,1.6×10~(24)dyne-cm和152bar。地震学资料与实地调查表明,1974年地震是WNW走向断层破裂所致。1979年地震的断层面很难求解。溧阳地震的逆冲断裂,在中国东部的较大地震中是很少见的。这可能表明在现代的E-W到ENE-WSW向压应力场作用下,构造盆地下方断层重新被激活,而且发生逆转。     

同位素指示的巴丹吉林沙漠南缘地下水补给来源

通过恢复巴丹吉林沙漠及其周边地区大气降水氚值，并结合区域稳定同位素组合特征，揭示了区域地下水氚年龄的多解性与地下水稳定同位素的温度效应。恢复的1963年核试验期氚高峰值达到2 100 TU，进入90年代平均为60 TU。1960年以来降水补给的地下水氚值都应大于15 TU，而1963年的高峰氚衰变至今应在200 TU左右。地下水实测氚值较低，表明由现代少量降水补给的地下水与大量的古水进行了混合。影响降水中δ18O和δ2H分布的主要影响因子是月平均空气温度，对δ18O与δ2H的影响权重分别占到59.9%和57.0%。巴丹吉林沙漠及其周边地区地下水较低的稳定同位素组成表明，其补给主要是晚更新世较冷环境下形成的，来源于东南部的雅布赖山区，部分浅层地下水接受现代降水与河流的补给。 

The IUGS/IAGC Task Group on Global Geochemical Baselines

The Task Group on Global Geochemical Baselines,operating under the auspices of both the International Union of Geological Sciences（IUGS） and the International Association of Geochemistry（IAGC）,has the long-term goal of establishing a global geochemical database to document the concentration and distribution of chemical elements in the Earth＇s surface or near-surface environment.The database and accompanying element distribution maps represent a geochemical baseline against which future human-induced or natural changes to the chemistry of the land surface may be recognized and quantified.In order to accomplish this long-term goal,the activities of the Task Group include：（1） developing partnerships with countries conducting broad-scale geochemical mapping studies;（2） providing consultation and training in the form of workshops and short courses;（3） organizing periodic international symposia to foster communication among the geochemical mapping community;（4） developing criteria for certifying those projects whose data are acceptable in a global geochemical database;（5） acting as a repository for data collected by those projects meeting the criteria for standardization;（6） preparing complete metadata for the certified projects;and（7） preparing,ultimately,a global geochemical database.This paper summarizes the history and accomplishments of the Task Group since its first predecessor project was established in 1988.
