The non-native seaweed Asparagopsis armata supports a diverse crustacean assemblage

This is the first study describing the crustacean fauna associated to Asparagopsis armata, a non-native, red seaweed widely distributed along western Mediterranean coasts. First found in Australia and New Zealand, it was introduced naturally through the Strait of Gibraltar and rapidly spread out. A one-year spatio-temporal study (Feb 08-Feb 09) was carried out in the Strait of Gibraltar to characterize the spatio-temporal patterns of the associated crustacean fauna. Maximum biomass of A. armata was measured during April-June, whereas the maximum crustacean abundances were registered from June-October. In total 41 crustacean species were identified. The caprellid Caprella penantis, traditionally associated to non-polluted areas, was more abundant on Tarifa Island (higher values of dissolved oxygen and pH) than in Algeciras (lower oxygen and pH). The gammarid Podocerus variegatus was dominant in Algeciras Bay while Hyale schmidti and Apherusa mediterranea were the most abundant on Tarifa Island. Among isopods, Synisoma nadejda was only found on Tarifa Island. When compared with literature of native algae of the intertidal and shallow sublittoral, the species richness of associated crustaceans was similar in A. armata and the natives. Very little is known about the influence of this algae on altering marine communities, so complete faunistic studies dealing with other groups such as polychaetes or molluscs are necessary to properly address biogeographical, ecological and management programmes dealing with this non-native species.

沿海气旋爆发的预报

近来,数值预报模式已在温带气旋发展和移动的预报上取得了明显的成绩。但是,值得注意的是往往还有意外情况发生,例如,像1979年2月18日—19日那个“总统的雪暴日”,很多地方发生了降雪,业务预报模式没有预报出来。GFDL(地球物理流体动力学试验室)为了了解冬季沿海迅速成生的风暴的机制,努力地进行了研究。在这些研究中(Orlanski和Katzfey,1986),完成了一个关于总统雪暴日的效果良好的数值模拟。 为了这项研究,把GFDL所研究的有限区域的HIBU(贝尔格来德大学水文学院)模式套入到GFDL的全球谱模式中去(取30个波),从而导出了关于这个“总统雪暴日”的预报模式和数值模拟:(Ⅰ)采用全球谱模式,(Ⅱ)采用低分辨率的嵌套HIBU的模式(分辨率为150公里),(Ⅲ)采用高分辨率嵌套HIBU的模式(分辨率为50公里)。它们的初始条件来源于两个方面:即GFDL和ECMWF(欧洲天气预报中心)的四维分析产生的FGGE(全球     

富钴铁锰结壳的控矿要素和成矿过程——以西太平洋为例

以西太平洋海山的麦哲伦海山群和马尔库斯-威克海山群为例,研究了富钴铁锰结壳（富钴结壳）形成过程中地质要素和海洋要素的作用,重点分析了海山漂移和沉降、水道开合、最小含氧带（OMZ）、大洋环流,以及气候变化等要素对富钴结壳形成的控制作用。基于对麦哲伦海山和马尔库斯-威克海山结壳样品剖面Mn／Fe值曲线的综合研究,结合控矿要素和成矿背景分析,将该区白垩纪以来富钴结壳的成矿过程划分为五个阶段：（1）自垩纪-始新世,（2）始新世末-晚渐新期,（3）晚渐新期-中中新期早期,（4）中中新期早期晚中新期早期,（5）晚中新期早期-现代,其中（2）、（3）阶段有利于发育富钴结壳。     

广东龙窝花岗闪长质岩体的年代学、地球化学及岩石成因

龙窝岩体是南岭地区燕山早期具幔源组分贡献的花岗岩的典型代表,其主体岩性为花岗闪长岩,岩体中含有深色闪长质包体,锆石ELA-ICP-MS定年结果表明花岗闪长岩的形成年龄为169.1±2.5Ma,属中侏罗世岩浆活动的产物。地球化学特征上,该岩体铝弱过饱和(A/NKC=1.0～1.1),相对贫碱,富钾(K_2O/Na_2O=1.15～1.45),富轻稀土和大离子亲石元素(如Rb、Cs、Th、U),贫高场强元素(如Nb、Ti)。闪长质包体具有与寄主岩相似的矿物组合,但铁镁矿物含量及过渡族元素(V、CR、Co、Ni)丰度相对偏高,二者的主量和微量元素表现出混合成因的演化趋势。寄主岩与包体具有相近的Sr、Nd同位素组成,I_(Sr)和ε_(Nd)(t)值分别为0.70843～0.70995、-6.53～-8.89和0.70797～0.70882、-4.71～-9.24,均表现出壳幔混源花岗岩类岩石的特点。二元混合模拟计算显示寄主岩与包体成岩过程中地幔物质的混入比例分别为32.9％～40.4％和 31.8％～46.4％。通过对岩石产出构造背景及地质地球化学特征的综合分析,表明龙窝花岗闪长岩及其中的闪长质包体是在伸展-引张环境下,由幔源基性岩浆及其诱发的壳源长英质岩浆混合作用的产物。     

地球历史中矿产资源分布之规律

现有的矿产资源分布资料可以说明地球历史中亲铁和亲铜元素成矿的一般规律。铁矿床在元古宙地核分离之后最为发育。除个别显著成矿高峰外 ,金的储量分布与铁类似。亲铁元素矿物的成矿潜力在古元古代也最大 ,以后逐渐降低 ,只是在显生宙 ,因地壳的再循环和古老矿床中矿石物质的活化而再次增大。元素的行为则完全不同 ,在前寒武纪时期它们的活动性为中等。亲铜矿物矿床的总量 ,在显生宙因再循环而达到最高 ,亲铜矿物矿床成矿能力较之亲铁矿物强得多 ,因为硫化物比铁金属氧化物更为活泼。地球演化的旋回性表现为超大陆形成的周期性 ,它与矿产的分布颇为一致。铁矿、亲铁元素和金成矿作用的突然激增 ,显然是在超大陆形成之后 ,并且与其早期裂解的脉动相对应。亲铜元素堆积的高峰期往往与超大陆的形成期相对应。尽管亲铜元素成矿的第三次脉动与中生代古陆 (Mesogea)的形成并不一致 ,但却与劳亚古陆及冈瓦纳古陆的裂解相一致。此种成矿堆积现象可以借助地幔内非稳态化学密度对流所诱发的地壳发展周期性来解释。根据超大陆形成的周期性推断地幔对流巨旋回的主期应为 80 0Ma ,此种周期性亦反映了具原始地幔印记的亲铁、金和亲铜元素的聚集作用过程。因此 ,地球圈层中地幔对流作用的周期性亦显著地控制了包括地幔     

Crustal stabilization:Evidence from the geochemistry and U–Pb detrital zircon geochronology of quartzites from Simlipal Complex,Singhbhum Craton,India

Cratonic stabilization was a critical crustal process during the Hadean to Archean for the formation of cratons.The understanding of how and where this process took place is significant to evaluate the architecture of continents.The Singhbhum Craton of eastern India has well preserved Precambrian volcanosedimentary sequences.The Simlipal volcano-sedimentary complex of Singhbhum Craton consists of circular bands of mafic volcanic rocks interlayered with quartzites/shales/phyllites.In the present study,we report petrographic and geochemical characteristics of quartzites from Simlipal Complex coupled with U–Pb ages of detrital zircons and zircon geochemistry to understand the provenance and depositional conditions and its connection with the crustal stabilization in the Singhbhum Craton.The quartzites are texturally mature with sub-angular to sub-rounded quartz grains followed by feldspars embedded in a silty matrix.Based on modal compositions and major element ratios,these quartzites are categorized as quartz arenite and sub-lithic arenites.Trace element abundances normalized to Archean Upper Continental Crust(AUCC)display positive anomalies at U,Zr,Hf and negative anomalies at Nb.REE patterns are characterized by negative Eu anomalies(Eu/Eu^*=0.47–0.97)and flat HREE suggesting felsic provenance.These quartzites show depletion of LILE,enrichment of HFSE and transition metals relative to AUCC.High weathering indices such as CIA,PIA,and ICV are suggestive of moderate to intense chemical weathering.Low trace element ratios such as Th/Cr,Th/Sc,La/Sc,La/Co and Th/Co indicate a predominantly felsic source for these rocks.The overall geochemical signatures indicate passive margin deposition for these quartzites.Detrital zircons from the Simlipal quartzites yield U–Pb ages 3156±31 Ma suggesting Mesoarchean crustal heritage.The trace element geochemistry of detrital zircons suggests that the zircons are magmatic in origin and possibly derived from the 3.1 Ga anorogenic granite/granitoid provenance of Singhbhum Craton.These observations collectively indicate the Mayurbhanj Granite and Singhbhum Granite(SBG-III)provenance for these quartzites,thereby tracking the stabilization of the eastern Indian Shield/Singhbhum Craton back to Mesoarchean.
