Lamproitic Rocks from a Continental Collision Zone: Evidence for Recycling of Subducted Tethyan Oceanic Sediments in the Mantle Beneath Southern Tibet

Major and trace element, Sr–Nd–Pb isotope and mineralchemical data are presented for newly discovered ultrapotassiclavas in the Tangra Yumco–Xuruco graben in southern Tibet.The ultrapotassic lavas are characterized by high MgO, K₂O andTiO₂, low Al₂O₃ and Na₂O contents, and also have high molarK₂O/Al₂O₃, molar (K₂O + Na₂O)/Al₂O₃ and K₂O/Na₂O ratios. Theirhigh abundances of incompatible trace elements such as largeion lithophile elements (LILE) and light rare earth elements(LREE) reach the extreme levels typical of lamproites. The lamproitesshow highly radiogenic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0· 7166–0·7363) and unradiogenic ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd (0· 511796–0·511962), low ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (18· 459–18· 931),and elevated radiogenic ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (15· 6732–15·841) and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (39· 557–40· 058) ratios.On the basis of their geochemical and isotopic systematics,the lamproites in south Tibet have a distinct magma source thatcan be differentiated from the sources of potassic lavas inthe east Lhasa and Qiangtang blocks. Their high Nb/Ta ratios(17· 10–19· 84), extremely high Th/U ratios(5· 70–13· 74) and distinctive isotope compositionsare compatible with a veined mantle source consisting of partialmelts of subducted Tethyan oceanic sediments and sub-continentallithospheric depleted mantle. Identification of the lamproitesand the delineation of their mantle source provide new evidencerelevant for models of the uplift and extension of the Tibetanplateau following the Indo-Asia collision. Metasomatism by partialmelts from isotopically evolved, old sediment subducted on theyoung Tethyan slab is an alternative explanation for PrecambrianNd and Pb model ages. In this model, differences in isotopiccomposition along-strike are attributed to differences in thetype of sediment being subducted, thus obviating the need formultiple metasomatic events over hundreds of million years.The distribution of lamproites, restricted within a north–south-trendinggraben, indicates that the initiation of east–west extensionin south Tibet started at 25 Ma.

上海陆域地区古河道溺谷相沉积层工程地质特征研究

上海地区全新世沉积物在区域上分异剧烈,由此,研究区内形成主要的古河道有四条。按其沉积相的层序组合可划分出三个基本类型,每个类型和古河道溺上各层序组合,反映了一种沉积环境和沉积过程。同时,它们的工程地质特征亦各自不同。本文对三个基本类型的古河道溺谷相沉积的桩基持力层的选择,应用找到了充分的依据。     

滇西北中甸地区的铜金找矿远景

滇西北中甸地区的铜,金矿产,分别以印支期和喜马拉雅期作为主要成矿期。铜矿分西矿带和东矿带。西矿带重点应加强欧赛拉－阿热－带的铜（多金属）矿勘查;东矿带的独哥－地苏嘎－欠虽一带是寻找斑岩型铜多金属矿最有远景的地区。寻找喜马拉雅期金矿床,重点应放在甭哥以东的富碱斑岩出露区。     

Analysis and characterization of the synergistic AIRS and MODIS cloud-cleared radiances

The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and MODerate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua spacecraft measure the upwelling infrared radiance used for numerous remote-sensing- and climate-related applications. AIRS provides high spectral resolution infrared radiances, while MODIS provides collocated high spatial resolution radiances at 16 broad infrared bands. An optimal algorithm for cloud-clearing has been developed for AIRS cloudy soundings at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where the spatially and spectrally collocated AIRS and MODIS data has been used to analyze the characteristic of this algorithm. An analysis and characterization of the global AIRS cloud-cleared radiances using the bias and the standard deviation between the cloud-cleared and the nearby clear measurements are studied. Scene inhomogeneity for both land- and water-surface types has been estimated to account for the assessed error. Both monthly and seasonal changes of global AIRS/MODIS cloud-clearing performance also have been analyzed.     

山东招远界河金矿床地球化学元素统计分析特征研究

通过对地化元素量值的统计分析可以推测地化元素在成矿过程中的演化特征,进而为预测找矿提供有用的深层次信息。本文通过有关元素的聚类分析、因子分析研究揭示界河矿区内Ａｕ与Ｂｉ以外的其他元素基本不具相关性、Ａｕ的成矿经历了长期、多次的地质演化过程,揭示了矿区内仅Ａｕ独立成矿的内在原因。文中据元素的共生组合及相关性特征认为矿区内Ｂｉ可作为找金的近程指示元素,Ａｓ可作为找金的远程指示元素。
