Zircon U-Pb Geochronology,Geochemistry and Petrogenesis of Early Cretaceous A-type Granites in the Mikengshan Area,Southern Jiangxi ProvinceEI北大核心CSCD

In the Mikengshan-Yanbei area, a special region for the tin mineralization in South China, there are some Yanshanian granites and porphyries and associated porphyry tin deposits (e.g., Yanbei). Although the tin mineralization is closely associated with the granitoids magmatism, the age and petrogenesis of the granites remain controversial. The Mikengshan pluton, which intrudes into the rhyolitic tuff and pyroclastic rocks of the Upper Jurassic Jilongzhang Formation, is the largest one in Mikengshan-Yanbei area and mainly consists of K-feldspar bearing granites. In this study, we report new age and geochemical data for the Mikengshan K-feldspar bearing granites. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb age dating shows that they were generated in the Early Cretaceous (~138 Ma). They have high SiO2 (74.42% to 76.69%), low Al2O3 (12.39% to 13.49%) and Mg# (11 to 19), and negative Eu, Sr and Ba anomalies, and are rich in potassium (most K2O/Na2O=1.37 to 1.94) and high field strength elements (HFSEs), and are weakly peraluminous (A/CNK=1.03 to 1.1) with high 10000×Ga/Al ratios (3.46 to 4.96) and slightly high zircon saturation temperatures (807 ℃ to 817 ℃), showing the characteristics of the typical A-type granites. Moreover, they have high Rb contents 842×10-6 to 1295×10-6, Rb/Sr (90 to 255) ratios and show rare earth elements (REE) tetrad effect, which are similar to those of high fractionated granites. Thus, we suggested that the Mikengshan K-feldspar bearing granites are high fractionated and aluminous A-type granite. Their slightly high εNd(t) values (-3.4 to -4.6) indicate that the mantle components should have played a role during their formation. Taking into account regional igneous rocks and tectonic setting data, we suggest that the Mikengshan K-bearing granites were formed in an extensional setting, which was probably related to the roll-back of the subducted Paleo-Pacific plate. © 2018, Science Press.

Object- and pixel-based classifications of macroalgae farming area with high spatial resolution imagery

Macroalgae plays an important role in coastal ecosystems. The accurate delineation of macroalgae areas is important for environmental management. This study compared the pixel- and object-based methods using Gaofen satellite no. 2 image to explore an efficient classification approach. Expert system rules and nearest neighbour classifier were adopted for object-based classification, whereas maximum likelihood classifier was implemented in the pixel-based approach. Normalized difference vegetation index, normalized difference water index, mean value of the blue band and geometric characteristics were selected as features to distinguish macroalgae farms by considering the spectral and spatial characteristics. Results show that the object-based method achieved a higher overall accuracy and kappa coefficient than the pixel-based method. Moreover, the object-based approach displayed superiority in identifying Porphyra class. These findings suggest that the object-based method can delineate macroalgae farming areas efficiently and be applied in the future to monitor the macroalgae farms with high spatial resolution imagery.

汞的稳定同位素分馏机理

汞是唯一能够以气态单质形式进行长距离传输的有毒重金属元素,其环境行为和健康危害受到广泛关注.近十多年来发展起来的汞稳定同位素技术为研究环境中汞的来源、迁移转化过程以及相应的生态环境效应提供了新的视野.汞同位素是自然界中唯一表现出多种显著非质量分馏(MIF)的独特金属同位素体系,对汞同位素的研究一直偏重应用,而对其分馏机理的认识十分有限.本文从汞稳定同位素分馏理论、分馏实验研究和实际环境过程的汞同位素分馏三方面系统阐述了近十多年来关于汞同位素分馏机理的研究成果、最新进展和未来发展方向.尽管目前的研究普遍认为无机汞的光化学氧化还原和甲基汞的光化学降解是环境中汞同位素MIF的主要产生机制,然而MIF程度和方向的影响因素还不完全清楚,其量化理论还未完全建立,实际环境过程中的分馏机理研究还相对缺乏.未来需要结合理论和实验研究进一步明确大气、陆地、海洋、极地、古环境等实际环境体系中的汞同位素分馏机理,进而拓展汞同位素的应用.

地震地方平太阴时集中程度的空间扫描在地震研究中的应用

根据显著地震地方平太阴时分布预报地震的思想,定义中小地震地方平太阴时的集中程度,将其当作一个测震学参数,并研制相应的空间扫描程序,为该参数的应用提供软件基础。为了评价其预报效果,该方法在安徽地区得到初步检验,结果显示,在安徽固镇地区的中强地震前半年左右该参数异常现象明显。
