Geochemistry of meta-volcanic rocks from the Longbohe Cu deposit, Yunnan Province, China： Implications for the genesis and tectonic setting

The Longbohe Cu deposit, which is located in the southern part of the Honghe ore-forming zone, Yunnan Province, China, belongs to a typical ore field where volcanic rocks are of wide distribution and are associated with Cu mineralization in time and space. The volcanic rocks in the ore field, which have experienced varying degree of alteration or regional metamorphism, can be divided into three types, i.e., meta-andesite, meta-subvolcanic rock and meta-basic volcanic rock in accordance with their mineral assemblages. These three types of volcanic rocks in the ore field are relatively rich in Na and the main samples plot in the area of alkali basalts in the geochemical classification diagram. With the exception of very few elements, these three types of volcanic rocks are similar in the content of trace elements. In comparison to the basalts of different tectonic settings, the meta-volcanic rocks in the ore field are rich in high field strength elements (HFSE) such as Th, Nb, etc. and depleted in large ion lithophile elements (LILE) such as Sr, Ba, etc. and their primary mantle-normalized trace element patterns show remarkable negative Th and Nb anomalies and negative Sr and Ba anomalies. These three types of volcanic rocks are similar in REE content range and chondrite-normalized REE patterns with the exception of Eu anomaly. Various lines of evidence show that these three types of volcanic rocks in the ore field have the same source but are the products of different stages of magmatic evolution, their original magma is a product of partial melting of the metasomatically enriched mantle in the tensional tectonic setting within the continent plate, and the crystallization differentiation plays an important role in the process of magmatic evolution.     

Catastrophic debris flows triggered by a 14 August 2010 rainfall at the epicenter of the Wenchuan earthquake

The Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008 produced large amounts of loose material (landslide debris) that are still present on the steep slopes and in the gullies. This loose material creates an important hazard as strong rainfall can cause the development of devastating debris flows that will endanger the resettled population and destroy the result of reconstruction efforts. On 14 August 2010, a total of 21 debris flows were triggered by heavy rainfall around the town of Yingxue, located near the epicenter of the Wenchuan earthquake. One of these debris flows produced a debris dam, which then changed the course of the river and resulted in the flooding of the newly reconstructed Yinxue town. Prior to this catastrophic event, debris flow hazard had been recognized in the region, but its potential for such widespread and devastating impacts was not fully appreciated. Our primary objective for this study was to analyze the characteristics of the triggering rainfall and the sediment supply conditions leading to this event. Our field observations show that even small debris flow catchment areas have caused widespread sediment deposition on the existing fans. It is concluded that the whole of the area shaken by the Wenchuan earthquake is more susceptible to debris flows, initiated by localized heavy rainfall, than had been assumed earlier. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the conditions leading to catastrophic debris flow events in the earthquake-hit area. This is essential for the implementation of proper early warning, prevention, and mitigation measures as well as a better land use planning in this area.

东天山觉罗塔格带黄山地区角闪辉长岩岩体的年代学、地球化学特征及岩石成因

为了确定东天山觉罗塔格带黄山地区单一的角闪辉长岩岩体的形成时代、源区性质及其构造属性,本文对东天山觉罗塔格带黄山地区早二叠世角闪辉长岩岩体进行了系统的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年与地球化学分析。结果表明：2个岩体中的锆石在CL图像上主要呈条痕状吸收,Th/U值较高（0.23~0.58）,指示其岩浆成因,成岩年龄为早二叠世（281.1~282.3 Ma）。这些岩体均由单一的角闪辉长岩构成,w（SiO₂）为46.45%~52.76%,w（MgO）为5.15%~8.42%,w（Al₂O₃）为14.52%~16.84%,Mg^#主要为0.55~0.63;稀土元素配分模式呈右倾型,LREE/HREE=3.36~5.11,（La/Yb）_N=2.64~4.41,δEu值多为1.06~1.98;在微量元素蛛网图上,Rb、Ba、K、Sr等大离子亲石元素相对富集,高场强元素Nb、Ta及Zr、P、Hf相对亏损;ε_Nd（t）=10.66~12.54（t=282 Ma）,平均为11.60。综上所述,东天山觉罗塔格带黄山地区早二叠世角闪辉长岩的岩浆源区主要为受俯冲流体交代的亏损地幔楔。结合同时代火成岩的组合特征、沉积作用以及区域构造演化历史,认为东天山觉罗塔格带黄山地区早二叠世角闪辉长岩体形成于吐哈地块与中天山地块碰撞后的伸展背景。     

综合地震勘探方法在陕北煤田采空区探测中的应用

基于陕北黄土塬煤层采空区地震勘探方法研究项目,在该类复杂地质背景和地震地质条件下进行了煤层采空区多种地震探测方法的应用。探测中依据不同的地震勘探方法原理,针对同一目标地质体,提取了识别其地震波场的响应特征:①在地震反射时间剖面上呈现反射波组中断缺失、不连续特征;②在折射层析速度剖面上反射为低速异常;③面波记录出现强能量基阶面波传播中止(波散),面波速度剖面呈现为低速异常,频散曲线发生畸变(呈"之"字型回折);④煤层采空区边界显现出散射波特征。这些地震波场特征在鄂尔多斯等地的煤层采空区探测中也已得到验证。陕北煤田采空区探测实例表明,采用综合地震勘探方法探测可有效解决单一方法的多解性问题,提高其成果的准确性和可靠性。     

华南扬子陆块成冰纪冰川作用的启动时限及其全球对比*

江口冰期和南沱冰期是华南地区引人注目的2次成冰纪冰川事件,但其确切启动时间及其全球对比关系仍未有定论。为此,对桂北地区成冰系(南华系)长安组底部和南沱组底部冰成杂砾岩开展了碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学研究。长安组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄集中分布于958—717 Ma,显著峰值为720、753、805及848 Ma,最年轻一组 ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U 年龄的加权平均值为719.6±6.1 Ma,可解释为长安组最大沉积年龄;南沱组碎屑锆石U-Pb 年龄集中分布于987—649 Ma,显著峰值为650、720、753、779、803、823及848 Ma,最年轻一组 ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U 年龄的加权平均值为649.3±6.2 Ma,可解释为南沱组最大沉积年龄。结合已发表的相关年龄数据可知,江口冰期很可能启动于ca.715 Ma,与塔里木、阿拉伯—努比亚、劳伦等陆块的Sturtian冰川作用高度同步;南沱冰期的启动应晚于650 Ma,与西伯利亚、澳大利亚、劳伦等陆块的Marinoan冰川作用基本同步。另外,碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱与CL图像显示,长安组和南沱组的物质来源主要为下伏新元古界岩浆—沉积记录,揭示出冰川对下伏地层的强烈刨蚀作用和华南新元古代幕式构造岩浆热事件。扬子陆块成冰纪冰川刨蚀作用可能与Rodinia 超大陆“裂离”有关的强烈伸展活动存在联系,并可能持续至Marinoan 冰期结束。     

城市青年群体住房产权获得的区域差异——以上海和南京为例

从城市异质性视角,以一线城市上海和二线城市南京为例,基于2013年长三角地区社会变迁调查和南京市住房调查数据,利用Logistic模型,剖析了两地青年住房产权获得的影响因素及其差异。研究发现,两个城市青年住房产权获得的影响因素存在较大差异。与南京相比,上海青年居民的住房获得存在更大的区位和制度壁垒,受城市区位、户口、制度因素影响更大,而受教育水平、工作流动性等市场因素以及年龄、是否育有子女等生命历程因素的影响较小。上海,作为一线城市,户口制度仍然处于精准严控阶段,落户门槛相对较高,另外住房价格高企,上海的青年群体在住房产权获得中同时面临着制度层面和市场层面的双重严苛考验。而在二线城市南京,户口政策相对较为宽松,青年群体的住房产权获得所面临的制度性障碍较小,而市场因素更加主导。
