南中国海成因:右行拉分作用与左行转换挤压作用交替

总结分析了南中国海各次级盆地及其周缘有关盆地的裂谷作用序列 ,认为它们的裂谷作用序列是相似的 ,虽然存在局部差异。古近纪 (—早中新世 )和新近纪分别为一级裂谷阶段和后裂谷阶段 ,并可进一步划分次一级裂谷和后裂谷阶段。南中国海总体几何学特征及其次级盆地和周缘盆地的几何学特征表明 ,它们的裂谷作用是以近南北向主断裂为主剪切的右行拉分作用。在右行拉分过程中 ,东越南断裂的南延 (翼他陆架部分 )可能没有发生巨大脆性平移而表现为巨大的右行韧性牵引 ;印支—苏门答腊地块是被东越南断裂、东安达曼海断裂、红河断裂和苏门答腊断裂等四条断裂围限的呈菱形的右行走滑双重构造。深海盆的洋壳在许多方面与概念化大洋洋壳不同 ,相互矛盾的各种磁异常条带年龄并不可信。它的洋壳是右行拉分作用形成的洋壳。它们的后裂谷作用是以近南北向主断裂为主剪切的左行转换挤压反转变形为特征。联系到裂谷作用序列 ,南中国海成因具有右行拉分作用、裂谷作用和左行转换挤压作用交替出现的特征 ,表现了具有转换性质的“开”与“合”的更迭

新疆西昆仑库地混杂带中基性火山岩构造环境分析

库地北一些克沟基性火山岩是西昆仑库地蛇绿岩的重要组成单元之一，而有关其形成的构造环境仍存在很多争议，由此影响了对该蛇绿岩性质、形成和演化方面的深入认识。笔者在野外对一些克沟基性火山岩地质剖面进行了详细的观察，在综合前人研究资料的基础上，利用地球化学(主量、微量及稀土元素)及Sm／Nd同位素分析等数据对其构造背景进行了多种手段相结合的判别和分析，确定其形成的构造环境为洋内弧，从而为进一步确定库地蛇绿岩的形成环境提供了新的佐证。     

The Influx of the Tsushima Current into the Central Ulleung Basin of East Sea (Sea of Japan), Korea

A total of 85 samples, collected from the UBGH1-9 core taken from the Ulleung Basin, East Sea, Korea, were analyzed using diatom assemblages. 111 diatom species belonging to 46 genera were identified, and three diatom assemblage zones were established on the basis of occurrence and distribution pattern of diatoms. Diatom assemblage zone I(134.10–174 m) is characterized by a relatively high abundance of marine species, while the increased number of the brackish species is recorded in diatom assemblage zone II(75–125 m). The assemblage zones IIIa became drastic drop of valve abundances and brackish planktons, whereas it became increase during the IIIb. High Td values which indicate an influence of warm current are recorded both in diatom assemblage zone I and III, and low Td values in diatom assemblage zone II. Analysis of diatom assemblages indicating that the depositional condition moved from oceanic to littoral-neritic environments and that paleotemperature underwent a shift from warm to cold condition at the middle interval, and from cold to warm condition in the upper interval of the UBGH1-9 core. This suggests that the lower(130–162 m) and upper intervals(0–20 m) of the UBGH1-9 core were deposited in the warm current condition(Tsushima Warm Current).     

The diel vertical migration of the sound-scattering layer in the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water of the southeastern Yellow Sea：focus on its relationship with a temperature structure

Using the hydroacoustic method with a 200 kHz scientific echo sounding system,the diel vertical migration(DVM) of the sound-scattering layer(SSL) in the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water(YSBCW) of the southeastern Yellow Sea was studied in April(spring) and August(summer) of 2010 and 2011.For each survey,13–27 hours of acoustic data were continuously collected at a stationary station.The acoustic volume scattering strength(Sv) data were analyzed with temperature profile data.In the spring of both 2010 and 2011,the SSL clearly showed the vertical migration throughout the entire water column,moving from the surface layer at night to near the bottom during the day.Conductivity,temperature,and depth data indicated that the entire water column was well mixed with low temperature of about 8 C.However,the SSL showed different patterns in the summers of 2010 and 2011.In the summer of 2010(28 C at the surface),the SSL migrated to near the bottom during the day,but there were two SSLs above and below the thermocline at depth of 10–30 m at night.In the summer of 2011(20 C at the surface),the SSL extended throughout the entire water column at night,possibly owing to an abrupt change in sea weather conditions caused by the passage of a Typhoon Muifa over the study area.It was concluded that the DVM patterns in summer in the YSBCW area may be greatly influenced by a strengthened or weakened thermocline.

Electrokinetic Restoration of Sulfate‐Accumulated Saline Greenhouse Soil

Electrokinetic (EK) process was performed to restore sulfate‐originated saline soil and to evaluate the effect of treatment duration. Sulfate and potassium were the major ionic salts in the saline soil used in this study. A constant voltage gradient of 1 V/cm was applied for 8, 12, and 16 days. After EK treatment, anions and cations were transported toward anode and cathode, respectively, by electromigration. Chloride was completely removed, and 85.6% of nitrate was removed after 8 days of treatment. The increase of treatment period from 8 to 12 days had a negligible effect on the enhancement in the rate of sulfate removal; however, over 70% was removed after16 days. At the end of experiment, the electrical conductivity (EC) of the soil, an indicator of soil salinity, decreased to 1.93 dS/m from an initial value of 5.3 dS/m, and the distribution of sulfate was similar to that of EC. The operation time of 16 days was sufficient to restore the sulfate‐originated saline soil using the EK process.     

格陵兰NEEM冰芯1711~1969年火山事件重建

冰芯作为良好的地质载体,为第四纪气候和环境研究提供了详实的信息。本研究利用连续流动装置对格陵兰冰盖西北部获取的一支90 m浅冰芯（命名为NEEM2009S1：77.45°N,51.06°W;海拔高度2450 m）融化处理,对氧和氢同位素比率（δ¹⁸O和δD,2 cm分辨率）和硫酸根离子浓度（SO₄^2-,10~12 cm分辨率）进行了测试。基于δ¹⁸O和关键的强火山事件对该冰芯进行了定年,结果为1711~1969年（不确定性为±1年）;通过非海盐硫酸根离子浓度（nssSO₄^2-）重建了该冰芯过去1711~1969年期间火山事件的历史。SO₄^2-浓度和通量很好地揭示了不同强度大小的火山事件。评估了强火山事件（VEI≥5）其产生的气候制冷效应;同时,由于该冰芯距离冰岛较近,本研究重点讨论了该冰芯对冰岛火山事件的记录历史,数据结果对了解冰岛历史时期火山信息具有重要的意义;此外,低纬度东亚与阿拉斯加地区的火山也容易传输至格陵兰冰盖。重建结果对于更好的理解火山事件对区域、全球环境与气候的影响具有重要的参考价值。
