青海东昆仑哈西亚图铁多金属矿区石英闪长岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄和岩石地球化学特征

东昆仑地区是青海省重要的夕卡岩型铁多金属矿成矿带,哈西亚图铁多金属矿是近年来首例在东昆仑金水口岩群中发现的与中酸性岩体有关的夕卡岩型矿床,目前铁、金、锌矿已达中型。其成矿作用与矿区东北部石英闪长岩关系密切,矿体产于石英闪长岩的外接触带。采用LA-ICP-MS同位素测定技术,测得石英闪长岩锆石U-Pb年龄为246.8±1.8Ma(MSWD=0.074),形成于早三叠世,表明东昆仑地区早三叠世存在夕卡岩成矿作用。地球化学研究表明,石英闪长岩为高钾钙碱性系列,具有安第斯型活动大陆边缘火成岩的构造属性。研究认为,石英闪长岩是阿尼玛卿洋盆向北俯冲,致使壳幔岩浆发生混合,后经侵位、结晶分异形成的。     

The Rhyacian E1 Cortijo suture zone： Aeromagnetic signature and insights for the geodynamic evolution of the southwestern Rio de la Plata craton,Argentina

The amalgamation of the southern Río de la Plata craton involves two possibly coeval Rhyacian sutures associated with the Transamazonian orogeny,rather than a single one as previously envisaged,i.e.the El Cortijo suture zone and the Salado suture.We circumscribe the Tandilia terrane to the region between these two sutures.The El Cortijo suture zone runs along a roughly WNW oriented magnetic low aligned along the southern boundary of the Tandilia terrane,i.e.boundary between the Tandilia and Balcarce terranes.This extensive magnetic low,ca.300 km long,and ca.90 km wide,would be caused by demagnetization associated with shearing.At a more local scale,the trend of the El Cortijo suture zone often turns toward the EeW.At this scale,WNW trending tholeiitic dykes of Statherian age are seen to cut the Rhyacian El Cortijo suture zone.Spatially associated with the El Cortijo suture zone,there are small magnetic highs interpreted to be related to unexposed basic bodies of ophiolitic nature related to those forming part of the El Cortijo Formation.We envisage the pre-Neoproterozoic evolution of the Tandilia belt to have been initiated by the extension of Neoarchean(w2650 Ma)crust occurred during Siderian times(2500e2300 Ma),causing the separation between the Balcarce,Tandilia and Buenos Aires terranes,and the development of narrow oceans at both north and south sides of the Tandilia terrane,accompanied by w2300e2200 Ma sedimentation over transitional econtinental to oceanice crust,and arc magmatism developed in the Tandilia terrane.The island arc represented by the El Cortijo Formation was also developed at this time.At late Rhyacian times,it occurred in both the closure of the narrow oceans developed previously,the entrapment of the El Cortijo island arc,as well as anatectic magmatism in the Balcarce terrane.     

关于西阿翼龙系统位置的简单注释及与其它翼龙类关系的评论

Cearadactylus atrox is one of the first pterosaurs unearthed from the Araripe Basin (Northeast Brazil) (Leonardi and Borgomanero 1983, 1985) (Fig.1). The fossil was preserved in a calcareous concretion typical of the Romualdo Formation and comprised an almost complete skull with lower jaw, but lacked the occipital region.     

The dependence of organohalogen compound concentrations on herring age and size in the Bothnian Sea, northern Baltic

The concentrations and composition profiles of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, polychlorinated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and polychlorinated naphthalenes were determined in herring individuals collected from the commercial catches of the Bothnian Sea, northern Baltic. The median age of herring was 5.0 years and in the muscle the median toxic equivalent concentration of PCDD/Fs was 5.6 WHO(PCDD/F)-TEQ pg/g fresh weight (fw) and that of PCBs 2.7 WHO(PCB)-TEQ pg/g fw. The median sum concentration of PBDEs was 1.4 ng/g fw and that of PCNs 0.1 ng/g fw. Differences in age-dependent accumulation between the organohalogen groups and individual congeners were major. In the Bothnian Sea the content of organohalogen compounds in herring is obviously elevated due to the availability and large proportion of Mysis crustaceans in their diet. More intensive fishing could reduce the concentrations of organohalogens, including the abundant, accumulative and toxic 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF congener in the Baltic herring catch.     

General database for ground water site information

In most cases, analysis and modeling of flow and transport dynamics in ground water systems require long-term, high-quality, and multisource data sets. This paper discusses the structure of a multisite database (the H+ database) developed within the scope of the ERO program (French Environmental Research Observatory, http://www.ore.fr). The database provides an interface between field experimentalists and modelers, which can be used on a daily basis. The database structure enables the storage of a large number of data and data types collected from a given site or multiple-site network. The database is well suited to the integration, backup, and retrieval of data for flow and transport modeling in heterogeneous aquifers. It relies on the definition of standards and uses a templated structure, such that any type of geolocalized data obtained from wells, hydrological stations, and meteorological stations can be handled. New types of platforms other than wells, hydrological stations, and meteorological stations, and new types of experiments and/or parameters could easily be added without modifying the database structure. Thus, we propose that the database structure could be used as a template for designing databases for complex sites. An example application is the H+ database, which gathers data collected from a network of hydrogeological sites associated with the French Environmental Research Observatory.     

Determination of first-order degradation rate constants from monitoring networks

In this article, different strategies for estimating first-order degradation rate constants from measured field data are compared by application to multiple, synthetic, contaminant plumes. The plumes were generated by numerical simulation of contaminant transport and degradation in virtual heterogeneous aquifers. These sites were then individually and independently investigated on the computer by installation of extensive networks of observation wells. From the data measured at the wells, that is, contaminant concentrations, hydraulic conductivities, and heads, first-order degradation rates were estimated by three 1D centerline methods, which use only measurements located on the plume axis, and a two-dimensional method, which uses all concentration measurements available downgradient from the contaminant source. Results for both strategies show that the true rate constant used for the numerical simulation of the plumes in general tends to be overestimated. Overestimation is stronger for narrow plumes from small source zones, with an average overestimation factor of about 5 and single values ranging from 0.5 to 20, decreasing for wider plumes, with an average overestimation factor of about 2 and similar spread. Reasons for this overestimation are identified in the velocity calculation, the dispersivity parameterization, and off-centerline measurements. For narrow plumes, the one- and the two-dimensional strategies show approximately the same amount of overestimation. For wider plumes, however, incorporation of all measurements in the two-dimensional approach reduces the estimation error. No significant relation between the number of observation wells in the monitoring network and the quality of the estimated rate constant is found for the two-dimensional approach.     

2010年全球矿业形势分析及未来展望

矿业作为世界经济发展的基础,其发展动向既可反映经济发展走势,也受全球经济基本面的控制.在遭受全球金融危机后,各国经济从同步衰退走向交替性增长,复苏步伐疲软,周期被拉长.近来,美国为缓解国内失业率居高不下和刺激经济增长,采用量化宽松政策,致使美元大幅贬值;欧元区主权债务问题此起彼伏;国际流动性资本蜂拥至中国、印度等新兴发展中国家,给这些新兴国家带来严重的通胀压力.受此影响,黄金价格一路飙升,重要金属矿产品价格更是震荡走高.     

Study of slope topple mechanism on belt express way around Jilin City

The Slope Program is a complex problem,and the constructive mechanics is the emphasis and difficult point of the slope researching.The research on the slope constructive mechanics takes an important theory and experience role of the stability analysis and preventive methods.On the basis of the field survey of the overturn-slope on the Jilin Belt Highway,the authors analyzed its constructive mechanics,valuated its stability,and showed the treatments of the slope.
