中生代燕山褶皱冲断带的构造演化—以河北省和辽宁省为重点的研究

从渤海湾和辽宁省开始 ,燕山山脉沿北纬 40°左右一直向西延伸到河北和内蒙古的边界。继续向西 ,以太古宙为基底的燕山山脉被上第三系所覆盖 ;因此 ,虽然内蒙古的阴山很可能就是燕山向西的延伸 ,但还缺乏有力的证据。中生代燕山褶皱冲断带以陆源沉积、岩浆作用和构造变形 (包括多期的褶皱作用 ,挤压、伸展及走滑断层作用 )为特征。对北京、冀北与辽西地区侵入岩及火山岩的野外工作及测年 (U Pb,40 Ar 39Ar方法 )研究揭示出该区中生代复杂的构造变形特征 ;而这种构造变形特征被归因于 :(1)中生代以前 (二叠纪到中生代早期 )复杂的早期变形序列 ,以及 (2 )中生代时期交替发生的主要构造形迹向南和向北的构造汇聚作用。燕山在中侏罗世之前 (早于 180 Ma)向南运动的低角度的逆冲断层发育在一条二叠纪三叠纪岩浆弧的南部 ,太古宙基底及元古宙和显生宙盖层均卷入其中。该次推覆作用可能是 (1)古生代时期蒙古弧与安第斯型的大陆弧沿华北板块的北部边缘发生碰撞的后果 ,或 (2 ) (北部陆块 )向南俯冲于华北太古宙“克拉通”之下时形成的 ,类似于美国科迪勒拉型的弧后、前陆褶皱冲断带。此次褶皱冲断发生之后 ,该推覆断层的上盘经历了广泛的剥蚀 ,随后中侏罗世火山沉积地层同时沉积在上、下盘之上。我们的研究表明     

“杰森1号”卫星检测到2004年12月26日海啸

根据已发表的报告，卫星测高仪在过去只检测到一次波辐相当小的海洋中的海啸波(Okal et al，1999)。2004年12月海啸显著地改变了这种图象。这次事件是自1970年代开始进行卫星测高以来发生的最大的事件。目前在轨道上的仪器可以相当高分辨率(海上5km范围平均几厘米)测量海面高度，不过仅能沿其轨道测量，不能提供事件的全景图象。而且它们也不可能安排在最佳位置在震源附近进行早期监测。     

MODELING HEADCUT DEVELOPMENT AND MIGRATION IN UPLAND CONCENTRATED FLOWS

On hillslopes and agricultural fields, discrete areas of intense, localized soil erosion commonly take place in the form of migrating headcuts. These erosional features significantly increase soil loss and landscape degradation, yet the unsteady, transient, and migratory habits of headcuts complicate their phenomenological and erosional characterization. Here a unique experimental facility was constructed to examine actively migrating headcuts typical of upland concentrated flows. Essential components of the facility include a deep soil cavity with external drainage, rainfall simulator, capacity for overland flow, and a video recording technique for data collection. Results from these experiments show that： （1） after a short period of adjustment, headcut migration attained a steady-state condition, where the rate of migration, scour hole geometry, and sediment discharge remain constant with time; （2） boundary conditions of higher rates of overland flow, steeper bed slopes, and larger initial headcut heights produced systematically larger scour holes with higher rates of soil erosion; and （3） during migration, the turbulent flow structure within the scour hole remained unchanged, consisting of an overfall nappe at the brink transitioning into a reattached wall jet with two recirculation eddies within the plunge pool. The systematic behavior of headcut development and migration enabled the application of modified jet impingement theory to predict with good success the characteristics of the impinging jet, the depth of maximum scour, the rate of headcut migration, and the rate of sediment erosion. These laboratory data and the analytical formulation can be used in conjunction with soil erosion prediction technology to improve the management of agricultural areas impacted by headcut development and ephemeral gully erosion.     

Discovery of Pyrrhotite-Chalcopyrite-Bearing Amphibole Megacrysts in Tongling Area, Anhui Province

Some pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-bearing amphibole megacrysts (including pyroxene megacrysts) were discovered in Mesozoic augite diorite-porphyrite at Caoshan in Tongling area, Anhui Province. The amphibole megacrysts, belonging mainly to pargasite and magnesiohastingsite, are characteristic of the amphibole composition derived from mantle and crystallized in lower crust. In general, the aggregates of pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite take the shapes of cylinder and sphere. Three occurrences have been recognized in the amphibole megacrysts: parallel linear, bunchy and scattered. The unique cylinder-like shape of the aggregates and remarkable Ni-poor sulfides in Caoshan are distinctively different from the spherical Ni-rich sulfides in pyroxene megacrysts and any other kinds of megacrysts. In terms of composition, the amphibole megacrysts and their sulfides in Caoshan are similar to those in the pyroxenite xenoliths in Qilin, Guangdong Province. In terms of origin, the pyrrhotite-chalcopyrites as exsolution products resulted from the subsolidus re-equilibration of sulfide solid solution within amphibole megacrysts.amphibole megacrysts were first discovered inside and outside China. This discovery is important for the study of regional magma evolution and its associated mineralizations and ore sources as well.     

大尺度季风环流的季节变化

一、经向环流 850hPa和200hPa上的逐月大尺度季风环流在早先许多研究中已有论述(如Krishnamurti,1985年)。Krishnamurti指出:东亚西南季风地面气流从5月份开始发展;并在7、8月份到达东亚最北部;9月间季风气流撤回到赤道15°以内热带深处。根据中国科学院大气物理研究所提供的10年月平均资料计算得出的结果表明,4月间垂直环流是由赤道附近和中国中部的上升运动这两种环型组成。赤道附近的上升运动可能与马来西亚半岛对流活动和降雨有联系。实际风大小     

Evaluation of sampling devices for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface microlayer coastal waters

The sea surface microlayer (SML) may play an important role on the transport and fate of persistent organic pollutants in the marine environment. In order to evaluate the appropriateness of a number of sampling devices for the analysis of 14 parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (3-5 aromatic rings), marine SML waters were sampled using a glass plate, a rotating drum/roller, a metal screen and a surface slick sampler. The underlying waters were also sampled for the determination of the corresponding enrichment factors (EF = [C](microlayer)/[C](underlying water)). The EFs were phase dependent, ranging from 1 to 3 for the dissolved phase and between 4 and 7 for the particulate phase. In order to better assess the performance of the different sampling methods, in terms of phase partitioning, the truly dissolved and colloidal phases were also estimated. Generally, no significant differences were found for the enrichment factors provided by the different methods, due to the observed large variability in concentrations that can be attributed to small-scale coastal processes. However, the metal screen is recommended as the most efficient sampling method for the study of PAHs taking into account the amount of water collected versus time.     

白云鄂博REE-Nb-Fe矿床成因的氧、碳和锶同位素及微量元素地球化学证据

根据白云鄂博赋矿白云石大理岩的岩石学特征及地质产状将其分为两类：粗粒和细粒白云石大理岩．它们的氧、碳和锶同位素及微量元素地球化学特征显然有别于分布在宽沟背斜以北典型的沉积石灰岩和白云岩,而和幢源火成碳酸岩十分相似．与矿床进行对比研究说明,成矿流体和矿质主要起源于碳酸岩浆的分异作用,其放射性成因同位素和微量元素保持了地但指纹,而氧和碳同位素组成却向壳源方向漂移,证实碳酸岩浆侵位过程中受大陆地壳的混染作用非常微弱,但是由碳酸岩浆活动所引起的成矿热液体系中却有一定的地表水混人认为白云鄂博REE-Nb-Fe超大型矿床的成因应归属于火成碳酸岩型矿床．
