Lead in corals: reconstruction of historical industrial fluxes to the surface ocean

Twentieth century environmental lead chronologies for the western North Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans have been reconstructed from annually-banded scleractinian corals. Measurements of lattice-bound Pb in sequential coral bands reveal temporal changes in surface water Pb concentrations and Pb isotopic distributions. Perturbations are observable in all specimens studied, attesting to global augmentation of environmental Pb by industrialization.In the western North Atlantic, Pb perturbations have occurred in direct response to the American industrial revolution and the subsequent introduction and phasing-out of alkyl Pb additives in gasoline. Surface ocean conditions near Bermuda may be reliably reconstructed from the coral data via a lead distribution coefficient of 2.3 for the species,Diploria strigosa. Based on²¹⁰Pb measurements, a similar distribution coefficient may be characteristic of corals in general. Surface Pb concentrations in the pre-industrial Sargasso Sea were about 15–20 pM. Concentrations rose to near 90 pM by 1923 as a result of metals manufacture and fossil fuel combustion. Beginning in the late 1940's, increased utilization of leaded gasoline eventually led to a peak concentration of 240 pM in 1971, representing an approximate 15-fold increase over background. Surface ocean concentrations are presently declining rapidly (128 pM in 1984) as a result of curtailed alkyl Pb usage. Lead isotopic shifts parallel the concentration record indicating that characteristic industrial and alkyl Pb source signatures have not changed appreciably in time. Industrial releases recorded in the Florida Keys reflect a weaker source and evidence of recirculated Pb (5–6 years old) from the North Atlantic subtropical gyre. An inferred background concentration of 38 pM suggests influence of shelf and/or resuspended inputs of Pb to these coastal waters.In remote areas of the South Pacific and Indian Oceans, industrial signals are fainter and the corals studied much younger than their Atlantic counterparts. Contemporary Pb concentrations implied by coral measurements (assumingK_D = 2.3) are 40–50 pM for surface waters near Tutuila and Galapagos in the South Pacific, and 25–29 pM near Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. A single coral band from Fiji (1920 ± 5yr) implies a pre-industrial surface water concentration of 16–19 pM Pb for the South Pacific. In view of reported surface water measurements and the North Atlantic coral data, the Pacific coral extrapolations may be slightly high. This could be a result of small variations inK_D among different coral genera, or incorporation of diagenetic Pb by corals sampled in coastal environments.     

Sr,Nd and O Isotopic Studies on the Genesis of the Huashan Granite Complex1

Abstract Systematical Sr, Nd and O isotopic studies were made on the Huashan granite complex in Guangxi. In combination with the studies of geological, petrological and geochemical data, it is believed that the complex consists of granites of three stages, with different geneses and different source materials. They are not the products of differentiation and evolution of one single consanguineous magma. Granites of the 1st stage are of the Indosinian syntectic type or I type, also derived from a mixed mantle-crustal source. Those of the 2nd stage are of the early Yanshanian syntectic type or I type, also derived from a mixed mantle-crustal source, and those of the 3rd stage are of the late Yanshanian transformed type or S type, derived from a crustal source.     

二维任意倾斜地层的层速度计算结果分析

本文主要介绍沙赫(Shan,P.M.)公式,对二维任意倾斜地层的层速度计算的应用效果。依据实际地层剖面Φ、V、Z参数的可能变化,设计18个较为复杂的地层模型进行了大量试算,并与Dix公式计算结果作了对比,表明对任意倾斜地层应采用沙赫公式提取层速度才是适宜的。

Market risk in carbon market: an empirical analysis of the EUA and sCER

The paper uses a capital asset pricing model to analyze the market risk in the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS) and clean development mechanisms (CDM) and Zipf analysis technology to analyze the carbon price volatility in different expectations of returns in the two markets. The results show that the systematic risk of the EU ETS market is around 0.07 %, but the CDM market is clearly divided into two stages; the systematic risk of the futures contracts in the first stage (DEC09–DEC12) is less than the EU ETS market, but the systematic risk of the futures contracts that enter the market is greater than the EU ETS market and has a higher market sensitivity, although on the unsystematic risk. The CDM market is always greater than the EU ETS market. Abnormal returns in the two carbon markets are both lower than 0.02 %, but CDM is higher. The probability of price down is greater than that of price up. The carbon price is affected by market mechanisms and external factors (economic crisis and environmental policies) in the low expectations of returns. However, in the high expectations of returns, compared with the CDM market, the carbon price change in the EU ETS market is less stable and has higher risks.

     

江南-雪峰隆起北缘海相油气富集主控因素和破坏机制

全球油气巨量富集带主要发育于被动大陆边缘、活动大陆边缘及大陆裂谷系中,而江南-雪峰隆起北缘具有区别于这3类的陆内坳陷斜坡带和古隆起边缘斜坡带的大地构造背景。通过对江南-雪峰隆起北缘（扬子南缘）海相油气陆内巨量富集的主控因素和破坏机制的研究,对比全球油气聚集带（区）发育的主要原因,试图建立海相油气富集和破坏的相关模式。类似于江南-雪峰隆起北缘的陆内坳陷斜坡带与古隆起边缘斜坡带的叠合斜坡带,是大陆块体内一种新的油气富集单元。通过研究,认为下寒武统和下志留统两套优质烃源岩、加里东旋回中-晚期和晚印支期-早燕山旋回早期两期良好的成藏时空匹配关系是海相油气富集的主控因素,而加里东旋回末期和晚印支期-早燕山旋回晚期两个关键破坏期,通过隆升剥蚀、断裂开启和岩浆活动等方式导致了海相油气的破坏。时空匹配的叠合斜坡带既是油气聚集的有利场所,又是油气改造的活跃区域。     

Anomalous Signals Prior to Wenchuan Earthquake Detected by Superconducting Gravimeter and Broadband Seismometers Records

Using 1 Hz sampling records at one superconducting gravimeter(SG) station and 11 broadband seismometer stations,we found anomalous signals prior to the 2008 Wenchuan(汶川) earthquake event.The tides are removed from the original SG records to obtain the gravity residuals.Applying the Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT) and the wavelet analysis to the SG gravity residuals leads to time-frequency spectra,which suggests that there is an anomalous signal series around 39 h prior to the event.The period and the magnitude...
