Seasonal variations in the inorganic carbon system in the Pearl River (Zhujiang) estuary

Seasonal variations in the inorganic carbon system in the Pearl River estuary are examined based on data from five surveys during the spring, summer, fall, and winter seasons. Both total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TAlk) values in the freshwater end-members are high in the dry season (>2700 μmol kg⁻¹ for DIC and >2400 μmol kg⁻¹ for TAlk) and substantially lower in the wet season (DIC and TAlk were ∼1000 and 700 μmol kg⁻¹, respectively). Riverine DIC flux and drainage basin weathering rates, however, are significantly higher in the wet season (611×10⁹ mol yr⁻¹ and 13.6×10⁵ mol km⁻² yr⁻¹) than in the dry season (237×10⁹ mol yr⁻¹ and 5.3×10⁵ mol km⁻² yr⁻¹).     

河流相砂泥岩薄互层地震反射特征研究

A sedimentary geological model is established in order to study the seismic reflection characteristics of channel sand bodies. Synthetic seismic shot gathers are simulated using the acoustic wave equation and then are prestack time migrated. On the imaged data, the reflection characteristics and instantaneous attributes are analyzed and log-constrained impedance inversion is tested. Because of wave field interference, the experimental results show that seismic events do not definitely correspond to the channel sand bodies and that seismic modes of occurrence do not represent the actual ones. The seismic events formed by wave interference may lead to errors and pitfalls in sand body interpretation. The corresponding relations between instantaneous seismic attributes and sedimentary sands are not well established. Log-constrained impedance inversion improves the resolution of channel sands. However, if the inverted resolution is forced to be too high, artifacts related to the initial model may occur.

辽宁阜新井水温破年变与加速下降原因分析

阜新井水温于2015年8月出现破年变变化,至2016年3月水温出现加速下降现象,最大降幅达7.2‰℃,距水温井约16m处的体应变井辅助水位亦出现同步下降变化。通过对水温井观测系统、区域地质特征和周边环境等进行调查发现,水温井东北约1km处的新打深水井大量抽水可能是造成水温及水位下降变化的原因。将新井抽水时间与阜新井水温及其他前兆测项观测数据进行对比分析,结果显示水温、体应变和钻孔水位等数据的变化与新打井在成因、空间、时间和强度上都存在明显的相关性。故阜新井水温及辅助水位同步变化为附近新井抽水干扰所致,排除为地震前兆异常的可能。     

小马村井动水位固体潮汐观测实验与排水装置改造

小马村井动水位观测副管设计不合理导致固体潮汐不明显,为此进行固体潮汐观测实验,此后固体潮汐较为明显。因为该井有原油上漂,排水装置的排水口经常堵塞,清淤后需人工调节流量,所以动水位观测难以恢复原状。2017年12月改造排水装置后,结果比较理想。     

基于Sato模型的内蒙古东北部地区尾波Q值

基于Sato模型,采用2016年3月至2018年6月内蒙古东北部及临近地区发生的526次地震事件,挑选M_L ≥ 2.0、记录清晰且信噪比较高的102次地震事件,拟合得到内蒙古东北部地区尾波Q值,得到Q_C（f）=（64.74 ±29.09）f^{（0.8925 ±0.0765）};Q值与依赖指数η成反比,且该区北部Q值偏高,南部Q值偏低,可能与地质构造及地震活动性有关。     

Effects of Urbanization,Soil Property and Vegetation Configuration on Soil Infiltration of Urban Forest in Changchun,Northeast China

Urban forest soil infiltration, affected by various factors, is closely related with surface runoff. This paper studied the effect of urban forest types, vegetation configuration and soil properties on soil infiltration. In our study, 191 typical plots were sampled in Changchun City, China to investigate the soil infiltration characteristics of urban forest and its influencing factors. Our results showed that the steady infiltration rates of urban forest soil were highly variable. High variations in the final infiltration rates were observed for different vegetation patterns and compaction degrees. Trees with shrubs and grasses had the highest infiltration rate and trees with bare land had the lowest infiltration rate. In addition, our results showed that the soil infiltration rate decreased with an increase in the bulk density and with a reduction in the soil organic matter content and non-capillary porosity. The soil infiltration rate also had significantly positive relationships with the total porosity and saturated soil water content. Urban soil compaction contributed to low soil infiltration rates. To increase the infiltration rate and water storage volume of urban forest soil, proper techniques to minimize and mitigate soil compaction should be used. These findings can provide useful information for urban planners about how to maximize the water volume of urban forest soil and decrease urban instantaneous flooding.     

Eocene melting of subducting continental crust and early uplifting of central Tibet: Evidence from central-western Qiangtang high-K calc-alkaline andesites, dacites and rhyolites

Changes in oceanic O–Sr isotopic compositions and global cooling beginning in the Eocene are considered to have been caused by the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. The specific timing and uplift mechanism, however, have long been subjects of debate. We investigated the Duogecuoren lavas of the central-western Qiangtang Block, which form the largest outcrops among Cenozoic lavas in northern-central Tibet and have widely been considered as shoshonitic. Our study demonstrates, however, that most of these lavas are high-K calc-alkaline andesites, dacites and rhyolites. Moreover, they are characterized by high Sr (367–2472 ppm) and Al₂O₃ (14.55–16.86 wt.%) and low Y (3.05–16.9 ppm) and Yb (0.31–1.48 ppm) contents and high La/Yb (27–100) and Sr/Y (48–240) ratios, similar to adakitic rocks derived by partial melting of an eclogitic source. They can be further classified as either peraluminous and metaluminous subtypes. The peraluminous rocks have relatively high SiO₂ (> 66 wt.%) contents, and low MgO (< 1.0 wt.%), Cr (4.94–23.3 ppm) and Ni (2.33–17.0 ppm) contents and Mg^# (20–50) values, while the metaluminous rocks exhibit relatively low SiO₂ (55–69 wt.%) contents, and high MgO (1.41–6.34), Cr (25.7–383 ppm), Ni (14.13–183 ppm) and Mg^# (46–69) values, similar to magnesian andesites. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar and SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating reveal that both peraluminous and metaluminous adakitic rocks erupted in the Eocene (46–38 Ma). Paleocene–Early Miocene thrust faults and associated syn-contractional basin deposits in the Qiangtang Block suggest that this region was undergoing crustal shortening within a continent during the Eocene. The low ε_Nd (− 2.81 to − 6.91) and high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.7057–0.7097), Th (11.2–32.3 ppm) and Th/La (0.23–0.88) values in the Duogecuoren adakitic rocks further indicate that they were not derived by partial melting of subducted oceanic crust. Taking into account tectonic and geophysical data and the compositions of xenoliths in Cenozoic lava in northern-central Tibet, we suggest that the peraluminous adakitic rocks were most probably derived by partial melting of subducted sediment-dominated continent of the Songpan-Ganzi Block along the Jinsha suture to the north at a relatively shallow position (the hornblende + garnet stability field), but the metaluminous adakitic rocks likely originated from the interaction between peraluminous adakitic melts generated at greater depths (the garnet + rutile stability field) and mantle. Because the Duogecuoren adakitic rocks must have originated from a garnet-bearing (namely, eclogite facies) source, Eocene continental subduction along the Jinsha suture caused the thickening of the Qiangtang crust. Given that crustal thickening generally equates with elevation, the uplift of the Central Tibetan Plateau probably began as early as 45–38 Ma, which provides important evidence for tectonically driven models of oceanic O–Sr isotope evolution during global cooling and Asian continental aridification beginning in the Eocene.     

南沙海域初级生产力与水柱垂直稳定度的关系

海洋中浮游植物利用光能吸收水体中的CO₂和营养盐合成有机物,不但为海洋食物链的运行提供物质和能量基础,而且还通过海一气界面气体交换影响着大气CO₂浓度.水柱垂直稳定度对海洋初级生产力有重要影响,对此人们早已认识,但通过实测数据分析两者定量关系的文章至今仍极为罕见.此外,南沙海域是世界最大的边缘海之一,然而有关该海域的初级生产力仅见报道过两个测站的实测数据[1].
