In-Situ Observation of Fluid Mud in the North Passage of Yangtze Estuary, China

Observations of fluid mud were made in the lower North Passage of the Yangtze Estuary in February 2000, on 10 -11 August 2000, on 30 - 31 August 2000 (after two strong typhoons), on 21 - 24 August 2000 (neap tide) and on 3 -6 September 2000 (mean tide) respectively. In situ data show that the fluid mud in this area consists of fine cohesive sediment (median size 7.23 μm). The formation and movement of fluid mud varied during the neap-spring and flood-ebb tidal cycle. Observations suggest that fluid mud phenomena in this area may be categorised in a three-fold manner as slack water, storm and saltwedge features. The thickness of the fluid mud layer of slack water during the neap tide ranged from 0.2 to 0.96 m, whereas during the mean tide, the thickness ranged from 0.17 to 0.73 m, and the thickness of the fluid mud layer was larger during slack water than at the flood peak. Shoals cover an area of 800 km^2 with a water depth smaller than 5 m. Erosion of these extensive intertidal mudflats due to storm action provides an abundant sediment source. This is particularly significant in this estuary when the tidal level is lower than 5 m. The lower North Passage is a typical zone of saltwater wedging, so the saltwedge fluid mud has the most extensive spatial range in the estuary.     

重庆丰都雪玉洞水文地球化学指标的时空变化研究

自2006年11月到2007年12月对重庆丰都雪玉洞地下河水和滴水进行了近1年的观测,结果表明其主要水化学指标均表现出明显的季节变化趋势.地下河水Ca2+、Mg2+、HCO3-浓度和电导率在雨季升高而旱季降低,pH值在雨季降低而旱季升高.在地下河径流路径上,由于溶蚀效应与沉积效应的相互制约以及受采样点水动力条件和水气CO2交换程度的影响,水化学指标的空间变化较为复杂.位于洞穴顶部的滴水由于受顶板覆盖层厚度的影响,洞穴上层滴水点Ca2+、Mg2+年平均浓度分别为95.1mg/L、7.87mg/L,而下层滴水点分别为110.1mg/L、9.68mg/L,表现出上层高、下层低的空间变化特征.由于[Mg2+]/[Ca2+]值具有雨季低而旱季高的变化特征.所以可用之来指示洞穴所在地区降雨条件的变化.

西北地区晚第四纪沉积地层一元正脂肪酸酰胺分布特征及古气候意义

利用气相色谱质谱联用仪在中国西北地区晚第四纪沉积地层中检测出一类特殊的类脂物分子--一元正脂肪酸酰胺.根据其碳数分布特征及前人的研究成果,认为一元正脂肪酸酰胺来源于各种生物体,产生于生物的某些生理活动过程,而不是来源于石油残余物及各种可能的污染.通过对比3个不同区域相近时期古湖相及黄土沉积地层中的脂肪酸酰胺分布特征,认为柴达木盆地可能不是黄土沉积的主要物源区,而额济纳盆地及邻近区域对黄土堆积有着重要的贡献或具有相同的物源.典型黄土沉积地层中UFAA值(不饱和与饱和脂肪酸酰胺相对含量的比值)与粒度、磁化率等指标具有很好的可对比性,特别是在相对暖湿阶段UFAA值呈现了明显的低值.这一现象表明脂肪酸酰胺在沉积地层中的变化受控于气候变化所导致的成岩作用强度的变化,从而记录了气候变化信息.通过研究,认为生物生理活动过程中所产生的一元正脂肪酸酰胺与构成细胞膜的类脂物分子一样,可记录古气候变化.     

Identifying the Sources of Solutes in Karst Groundwater in Chongqing,China: a Combined Sulfate and Strontium Isotope Approach

Groundwater from karst subterranean streams is among the world’s most important sources of drinking water supplies, and the hydrochemical characteristics of karst water are impacted by both natural environment and people. Therefore, the study of hydrochemistry and its solutes’ sources is very important to ensure the normal function of life support systems. In this paper, thirty?five representative karst groundwater samples were collected from different aquifers (limestone and dolomite) and various land use types in Chongqing to trace the sources of solutes and relative hydrochemical processes. Hydrogeochemical types of karst groundwater in Chongqing were mainly of the Ca?HCO3 type or Ca (Mg)?HCO3 type. However, some hydrochemical types of karst groundwater were the K+Na+Ca?SO4 type (G25 site) or Ca?HCO3+SO4 type (G26 and G14 site), indicating that the hydrochemistry of these sites might be strongly influenced by anthropogenic activities or unique geological characteristics. The dissolved Sr concentrations of the studied groundwater ranged from 0.57 to 15.06 μmmol/L, and the 87Sr/86Sr varied from 0.70751 to 0.71627. The δ34S?SO42? fell into a range of ?6.8‰?21.5‰, with a mean value of 5.6‰. The variations of both 87Sr/86Sr and Sr values of the groundwater samples indicated that the Sr element was controlled by the weathering of limestone, dolomite and silicate rock. However, the figure of 87Sr/86Sr vs. Sr2+/[K++Na+] showed that the anthropogenic inputs also obviously contributed to the Sr contents. For tracing the detailed anthropogenic effects, we traced the sources of solutes collected karst groundwater samples in Chongqing according to the δ34S value of potential sulfate sources. The variations of both δ34S and 1/SO42? values of the groundwater samples indicated that the atmospheric acid deposition (AAD), dissolution of gypsum (GD), oxidation of sul?de mineral (OS) or anthropogenic inputs (SF: sewage or fertilizer) have contributed to solutes in karst groundwater. The influence of oxidation of sul?de mineral, atmospheric acid deposit and anthropogenic inputs to groundwater in Chongqing karst areas was much widespread.

δ18O record and temperature change over the past 100 years in ice cores on the Tibetan Plateau

The 213 m ice core from the Puruogangri Ice Field on the Tibetan Plateau facilitates the study of the regional temperature changes with its δ18O record of the past 100 years. Here we combine information from this core with that from the Dasuopu ice core (from the southern Tibetan Plateau), the Guliya ice core (from the northwestern Plateau) and the Dunde ice core (from the northeastern Plateau) to learn about the regional differences in temperature change across the Tibetan Plateau. The δ18O changes vary with region on the Plateau, the variations being especially large between South and North and between East and West. Moreover, these four ice cores present increasing δ18O trends, indicating warming on the Tibetan Plateau over the past 100 years. A comparative study of Northern Hemisphere (NH) temperature changes, the δ18O-reflected temperature changes on the Plateau, and available meteorological records show consistent trends in overall warming during the past 100 years.
