Analysis of the contribution of multiple factors to the recent decrease in discharge and sediment yield in the Yellow River Basin,China

The Yellow River basin is well known for its high sediment yield. However, this sediment yield has clearly decreased since the 1980s, especially after the year 2000. The annual average sediment yield was 1.2 billion tons before 2000, but has significantly decreased to 0.3 billion tons over the last 10 years. Changes in discharge and sediment yield for the Yellow River have attracted the attention of both the Central Government and local communities. This study aimed to identify the individual contributions of changes in precipitation and human activities (e.g. water conservancy projects, terracing, silt dams, socio-economic and needs, and soil and water conservation measures) to the decrease in discharge and sediment yield of the Yellow River. The study used both improved the hydrological method and the soil and water conservation method. The study focused on discharge analysis for the upper reaches and the investigation of sediments for the middle reaches of the river. The results showed that discharge and sediment yield have both presented significant decreasing trends over the past 50 years. Precipitation showed an insignificant decreasing trend over the same period. The annual average discharge decreased by 5.68 billion m³ above Lanzhou reach of the Yellow River from 2000 to 2012; human activities (e.g. socio-economic water use) contributed 43.4% of the total reduction, whereas natural factors (e.g. evaporation from lakes, wetlands and reservoirs) accounted for 56.6%. The decrease in annual discharge and sediment yield of the section between Hekouzhen station and Tongguan station were 12.4 billion m³ and 1.24 billion tons, respectively. Human activities contributed 76.5% and 72.2% of the total reduction in discharge and sediment yield, respectively, and were therefore the dominant factors in the changes in discharge and sediment yield of the Yellow River.     

新疆萨尔朔克铜金多金属矿床成矿围岩锆石年龄、Hf同位素及其成矿背景

新疆萨尔朔克金铜多金属矿床产于中泥盆统阿舍勒组上亚组的中酸性火山岩-次火山岩中,地表以金(铜)矿化为主,矿体形态及空间分布严格受NNW向断裂破碎带控制,矿体呈脉状、透镜状。金(铜)矿石以蚀变岩型为主,其次为石英脉型,赋矿围岩为黄铁绢英岩化流纹斑岩。金主要赋存在微细粒黄铁矿等硫化物和脉石英中,黄铜矿常呈不规则细脉状出现。在地表100m以下,出现铅锌矿化,且向深部铅锌品位较高,一般3%~5%,最高达12%以上。流纹斑岩与金铜多金属矿关系密切。通过锆石U-Pb同位素测年和Hf同位素测试分析,获得流纹斑岩的成岩年龄为386.2±1.5Ma,εHf(t)在7~13之间,主要集中在8.5~12.5之间。上述结果表明,流纹斑岩可能形成于早泥盆世晚期活动大陆边缘环境,是俯冲增生的产物。铅锌矿化是386Ma流纹斑岩期后岩浆作用的产物,而金铜矿化则是在含矿流纹斑岩的基础上,经其后火山热液叠加作用发生的。     

塔里木陆块西北缘萨热克砂岩型铜矿床构造-流体演化对成矿的制约

塔里木陆块西北缘萨热克砂岩型铜矿床构造演化、流体演化与成矿之间具有密切关系,处于一个统一系统中。矿床成岩期方解石中包裹体水的δD值为-65.3‰~-99.2‰,改造成矿期石英包裹体水的δD值为-77.7‰~-96.3‰,成岩成矿期成矿流体δ~(18)OH_2O变化范围为-3.22‰~1.84‰,改造成矿期成矿流体δ~(18)OH_2O变化范围为-4.26‰~5.14‰,指示萨热克铜矿成岩期、改造期成矿流体主要为中生代大气降水及其经水岩作用而成的盆地卤水。矿石中辉铜矿δ~(34)S值为-24.7‰~-15.4‰,指示硫主要源自硫酸盐细菌与有机质还原,部分源于有机硫。构造与成矿流体演化对砂岩铜矿成矿起关键制约作用。盆地发展早期强烈的抬升运动使盆地周缘基底与古生界剥蚀,为富铜矿源层的形成提供了丰富物源,至晚侏罗世盆地发展晚期,长期演化积聚的巨量含矿流体在库孜贡苏组砾岩胶结物及裂隙中富集,在萨热克巴依盆地内形成具有经济意义的砂岩型铜矿床。     

四川西昌盆地白垩纪恐龙足迹群的新发现

四川西昌盆地白垩系小坝组尚未发现骨骼化石记录,其白垩系恐龙动物群的信息全赖于足迹化石。2017年,在喜德县洛甘发现小坝组迄今最大型的恐龙足迹群。该足迹点保存了大量的兽脚类足迹。足迹保存条件较差,但具备了基本的形态学特征。总体来看,兽脚类足迹具有尺寸较小(8~13cm),中等中趾前凹(0.5~0.6)和第Ⅱ趾和第Ⅳ趾间较宽趾间角(70°~100°)的特征;少量足迹保存了跖骨垫。初步分析认为,洛甘兽脚类足迹与四川盆地夹关组的兽脚类足迹Eubrontes和Grallator形态类型相似,为两地在白垩纪中期具有类似的恐龙动物群的观点提供了新的证据。该发现对于西昌盆地的古气候、古地理和地层对比都具有重要的意义,足迹详细分类还有待进一步研究。     

豫西吉家洼金矿床成矿时代和成矿物质来源:来自闪锌矿Rb-Sr同位素年龄和Pb同位素的证据

豫西吉家洼金矿位于熊耳山金多金属矿集区西部,是一构造蚀变岩-石英脉型金矿床。矿体产于近南北向断裂带中,在倾向上呈"Y"字型分布,矿化以细脉-网脉状、浸染状黄铁矿化蚀变岩型金矿为主,其次为石英脉型金矿。热液成矿过程包括4个矿化阶段,黄铁矿-石英阶段(Ⅰ)、石英-黄铁矿阶段(Ⅱ)、石英-多金属硫化物阶段(Ⅲ)和石英-碳酸盐阶段(Ⅳ)。本次工作对吉家洼金矿床主要成矿阶段(Ⅲ)的闪锌矿进行了Rb-Sr同位素测年研究,以限定成矿时代。结果获得Rb-Sr等时线年龄为118.2±2.4Ma,表明矿床形成于早白垩世。该年龄与熊耳山地区中的庙岭、祁雨沟、公峪等金矿床的成矿年龄基本一致,对于整个熊耳山地区的金矿成矿年龄具有一定的约束意义。锶-铅同位素研究结果显示,吉家洼金矿的成矿物质为壳幔混源,新太古界太华群基底及其重熔形成的花岗岩体可能为铅同位素的主要物源。我们认为,吉家洼金矿床是熊耳山地区在早白垩世区域性强烈的构造-岩浆-流体活动事件的产物,是整个中国东部金的大规模成矿作用的组成部分。     

混积岩分类命名体系探讨及对混积岩储层评价的启示——以渤海海域混积岩研究为例

混积岩是一种普遍而重要的岩石组合类型。然而长期以来,对混积岩的岩石学分类与命名一直存在诸多争议,且尚未有统一的分类体系与命名规则。本文结合渤海海域混积岩岩石薄片组分鉴定、岩石储层物性分析等最新研究成果,并与相关文献结合,最终确立以陆源碎屑物、生物成因碳酸盐颗粒、化学沉淀碳酸盐为三组分端元的一套新的混积岩岩性分类体系,并将混积岩分为4大类、16亚类。通过讨论混积岩混积层系及混积岩组构界定的问题,进一步完善了混积岩定义。利用新的岩石学分类方案,可为储层评价研究提供指导。以渤海海域为例,建立起研究区不同岩性相与储层物性的对应关系,并在岩性分类体系中划分出差储层、中等储层及优质储层三个储层区。

Intercomparison of CRA-Interim Precipitation Products with ERA5 and JRA-55

By using the hourly data from surface meteorological stations in China, the 3-hour precipitation data from CRA-Interim (Chinese Reanalysis-Interim), ERA5 (ECMWF Reanalysis 5) and JRA-55 (Japanese Reanalysis-55) are compared, both on the spatial-temporal distributions and on bias with observation precipitation in China. The results show that: (1) The three sets of reanalysis datasets can all reflect the basic spatial distribution characteristics of annual average precipitation in China. The simulation of topographic forced precipitation in complex terrain by CRA-interim is more detailed, while CRA-interim has larger negative bias in central and East China, and larger positive bias in southwest China. (2) In terms of seasonal precipitation, the three sets of reanalysis datasets overestimate the precipitation in the heavy rainfall zone of spring and summer, especially in southwest China. CRA interim’s location of the rain belt in the First Rainy Season in South China is west by south, the summer precipitation has positive bias in southwest and South China. (3) All of the reanalysis datasets can basically reflect the distribution difference of inter-annual variation of drought and flood, but the overall the CRA-Interim generally shows negative bias, while the ERA5 and JRA-55 exhibit positive bias. (4) For the diurnal variation of precipitation in summer, all the reanalysis datasets perform better in simulating the daytime precipitation than in the night, and bias of CRA-interim is less in southeast and northeast than elsewhere. (5) ERA5 generally performs the best on the evaluation of quantitative precipitation forecast, the JRA-55 is the next, followed by the CRA-Interim. CRA-Interim has higher missing rate and lower threat score for heavy rains; however, at the level of downpour, the CRA-Interim performs slightly better.
