Heavy metals pollution on the sediments in lakes Dianchi, Erhai and Poyanghu and historical records

In this paper²¹⁰ Pb and ¹³⁷Cs dating methods were used to determine sedimentation rates of lakes Dianchi, Erhai and Poyanghu, and to establish the time scale of the sediments. Also based on geochemical records in the sediment column, the historical variation in heavy metal content over the past one hundred years was determined. Some element concentration increased rapidly after the 1970s, such as Cu, Zn and Mn in the sediments of northern Lake Dianchi, Cd and Mn in southern Lake Erhai and in the west central parts of Lake Poyanghu, Our investigations indicate that the increase in element concentration is caused by human activities. In order to understand the extent of the effect caused by human activities, we have calculated the flux of Zn, Cd and Mn. Results show that the flux caused by human activities is seven times greater than the natural one and the ratio is about 2 times in Lake Erhai and Lake Poyanghu.     

A study on A-type granites in Suzhou,China

The Suzhou granite suite is the anorogenic product, which is located on the inactive continental margin of east China. It was emplaced about 141 Ma ago, occurring as a stock with a polygonal outline on the surface, belonging to alkali potash-feldspar granites with K₂O > Na₂O, Reit’s alkali coefficient = 0.694, SiO₂ = 74.95, and Al₂O₃/(K₂O + Na₂O)mol= 1. Besides K and Na, Li and Rb are also rather high. Highlycharged metals such as Zr, Nb, REE, Y, Sn, Th, Ga and Zn are 10, or even 50 times higher than those in the ordinary granites. Halogen elements such as F and Cl are high in abundance with F = 2700 ppm and Cl = 170 ppm on average. The abundances of deep-source elements such as Ti, Al, Ca, Mg and P are relatively low, with A1₂O₃ = 12.65% and Ca + Mg < 1%. High Ga and low Al contents are typomorphically characteristic of A type granites. Biotite in the rocks is, for the most part, annite, usually filling in quartz and feldspar crystals, indicating that the crystallization of magma proceeded under relatively anhydrous condition. More than 40 kinds of accessory minerals have been identified, of which the mantle-derived mineral chrompicotite and moissanite is of great interest. Two different intrusions, the major and supplementary intrusions, can be distinguished in the granite suite. The rock-forming temperature is estimated to be 810°C, pressure 2.5 kbars, pH 8.1,¹⁸O/¹⁶O low(δ¹⁸O_WR = 6.19‰), and_fo₂= 10⁻¹⁶. The abundances of REE are high and Eu depletion is remarkable (δEu = 0.24). A variety of mineral deposits related to the Suzhou granite suite have been recognized.     

我国首次发现的钠砷铀云母

我国首次发现的钠砷铀云母产于新疆某铀矿床氧化带。它实际上是钠砷铀云母的含钾变种。与产于苏联的钠砷铀云母比较,晶胞参数稍大,比重稍小,在长波紫外线照射下发黄绿色中等强度荧光。

红石泉铀矿床黑云母与晶质铀矿同步富集作用探讨

红石泉铀矿床是以岩浆气成热液成矿作用占主导地位的复成因型铀矿床。研究结果表明,黑云母的结晶时间明显晚于伟晶状白岗岩中的长石、石英等主要造岩矿物,这是由白岗质 岩浆本身的物质成分和物理化学条件所决定的。岩体边缘的黑云母与晶质铀矿同步富集作用是以元素地球化学和矿物热力学作用为主导的地质作用。黑云母与晶质铀矿结晶时间相近,具有一定的成因联系,并且,其组份具有明显的亲缘性是二者密切共生的原因。

ON THE MECHANISM OF TELECONNECTIONS BETWEEN EL NINO AND EAST ASIAN ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION

Based on the linear planetary wave theory and observed data,the teleconnections between El Nino andatmospheric circulation in the Northern Hemisphere(NH)are studied.It is shown that the zonal groupvelocity for stationary Rossby waves in the atmosphere is always positive.Thus,the energy of thesedisturbances can not propagate westward.In certain conditions,however,the westward propagation ofnonstationary waves is possible.Going further into this question,we prove that the low-frequency distur-bances over the eastern equatorial Pacific,which are closely related to the large-scale air-sea interactionin low-latitudes,can influence the extratropical atmospheric circulation in the NH along two typical energypaths;i.e.,the waves with wavenumber one(n=1)propagate through the western North Pacific into EastAsia and form the“East Asian Path”,which plays an important part in the teleconnections between ElNino and atmospheric anomalies over East Asia,besides,the waves with n≥2 propagate along the“PNAPath”into the middle and eastern North Pacific as well as North America,leading to the relevant atmos-pheric anomalies to be excited over there.
