国际冰芯与气候环境研究新进展--关于国际"冰芯与气候"会议

2001年8月19～23日, 在格陵兰举行了规模空前的"冰芯与气候"国际盛会, 会议展示了冰芯与气候环境研究的最新进展. 文中介绍这次会议并概括了近年来的主要研究进展. 与南北极地区的冰芯研究相比, 中低纬度地区冰芯研究是近年来国际冰芯研究中发展最快的. 在这一研究中, 中国科学家做出了重要贡献并得到了国际同行的高度评价.     

浅议学科交叉与地球系统科学

以整体系统的观念认识地球 ,强化学科间的交叉与渗透 ,是 2 1世纪初地球科学发展的主题。各国都十分重视推动学科交叉研究 ,并将学科交叉分为Modidisciplinary、Interdisciplinary、Transdiscipli nary三个层次。地球系统科学的两大前沿为“地球系统的联系”和“地球系统的演化” ,2 1世纪地球科学的突破在于地球系统变化理论的形成。笔者指出 :目前 ,我们的观念还跟不上地球科学的发展 ,尤其是“学科交叉”的理念不强 ,缺乏地球系统科学的思维 ,但我们有开展地球系统科学研究的有利条件

非常规综合物化探油气预测研究

非常规综合物化探方法油气预测研究中存在的主要问题为：缺乏系统与综合的基础性理论研究，异常形成的机理还不十分清楚，在参数的优化组合及异常的求取上尚有诸多不足。针对后一种情况，选择松辽盆地东岭构造作为实验区进行了有益的探索。选取低能吸附烃、放射性测氡及土壤热释光三类参数进行了优化组合，分别计算了综合指标MAE与MAC及组合熵，然后对各值采用泛克里格法求取异常，取得了良好的效果。下一步研究应从异常形成的机理入手，建立三维非常规综合物化探油气预测模式，以提高油气预测成功率。     

华北克拉通北部内、外缘中生代流体成矿作用研究--以大井、蔡家营典型矿床为例

华北克拉通北部内、外缘中生代形成的有色金属矿种繁多 ,以外缘富 Sn、内缘富 Mo,Cu、Pb、 Zn遍布内、外缘为主要特色。通过内、外缘典型矿床的研究和综合对比 ,认为外缘的富 Sn是与富 Sn的基底有关 ,内缘的富 Mo是与结晶基底地层和岩浆热液关系密切。而内、外缘 Cu、 Pb、 Zn的成矿与中生代构造转折 ,造成大规模陆相火山活动和成矿流体的卸载密切相关

Mobility of Phosphorus during the Weathering of Volcanic Ashes

Data are presented on phosphorus mobility during the weathering of rhyolite–dacite tephra of the modern and ancient eruptions. Distal tephra cannot be considered a phosphorus source, since phosphorous has low mobility during weathering both in subaerial and subaqueous sedimentation conditions. However, volcanic ashes exert a fertilization effect, providing the supply of nutrient elements into the ecosystem of internal basins and coastal zones.     

The nature of peculiar stellar complexes

The nature of stellar complexes with peculiar populations and morphologies is investigated. The existence in the LMC of complexes made up of isolated stars, on the one hand, and consisting exclusively of clusters, on the other hand, could be due to different turbulence patterns in the initial gaseous medium. Arc-shaped stellar complexes are unlikely to be the result of star formation in a gaseous shell swept up by a central source of pressure, and instead probably reflect the shape of a bow shock that develops when a sufficiently dense cloud is subject to dynamical pressure. A peculiar arc-shaped complex in NGC 6946, which contains a young, massive cluster, may be the result of an oblique infall of a high-velocity cloud onto a region of the gaseous disk of the Galaxy with a strong, regular magnetic field; the properties of this complex can be explained as the result of a collision of the resulting shocks. The arc-shaped complexes in the LMC were also probably produced by high-velocity clouds moving obliquely through the more tenuous gas of the LMC disk. A similar complex in NGC 300 may owe its origin to the effect produced on a dense cloud by the shock from an extremely powerful external explosion, whose stellar remnant may have survived as an X-ray source now located along the line of symmetry of the arc of the complex. The rareness of such structures can be explained by the narrow range of conditions under which they can develop.     

Structure of gas flows in Z And in quiescence and during outbursts

A new mechanism is proposed to account for transitions between the quiescent and active states of symbiotic stars. A numerical study of the gas dynamics of the flows in the symbiotic star Z And shows that even small variations in the velocity of the wind from the cool giant can abruptly change the flow structure near the hot component. Such changes alter the accretion regime as the wind velocity increases: disk accretion makes a transition to accretion from the flow. Our calculations indicate that the accretion rate increases by a factor of several tens over a short time interval (～0.1 of the orbital period) during the rearrangement of the flow, when the accretion disk is destroyed.     

Color redshifts and the age of the stellar population of distant RC radio galaxies

BV RI data are presented for the majority of steep-spectrum objects in the RC catalog with m _R <23.5^m. Previously developed programs are applied to these data to estimate the redshifts and ages of the stellar systems of the host galaxies. Applying this program to the color data (BV RI JHK) for distant radio galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts indicates that this approach provides accurate estimates of the redshifts of such radio galaxies, close to those obtained using field galaxies (～20%). The age estimates are much less trustworthy, but a lower limit to the ages of objects that are not very distant (z<1.5) can be determined with certainty. We have identi fied several galaxies whose formal ages exceed the age of the Universe at the corresponding z in simple Cold Dark Matter models for the Universe. The possibility of using such objects to elucidate the role of “dark energy” is discussed. This paradox disappears in models with cosmological constants (Λ terms) equal to 0.6–0.8.
