Defining physico-chemical variables, chlorophyll-a and Secchi depth reference conditions in northeast eco-region lakes, China

Establishing reference conditions for regional lakes is necessary to assess human impact on aquatic ecosystems, protect water quality and biotic integrity. The northeast eco-region lakes often present a marked seasonal variability in hydrological, biological and geochemical processes, which could affect physico-chemical variables, chlorophyll-a and Secchi depth reference conditions. Reference conditions were calculated using two different methods: lake population distribution method and trisection method. General physico-chemical reference conditions (pH, conductivity, BOD and nutrients) and chlorophyll-a, and Secchi depth reference conditions were established using the two approaches combined with the analysis of seasonal variability for each parameter for shallow and deep lake types in the northeast eco-region lakes. The results indicated that depth was an important factor affecting physico-chemical variables, chlorophyll-a and Secchi depth reference values. Moreover, the seasonal differences in parameters were also assessed using a non-parametric repeated measure ANOVA (Friedman test) in the shallow and deep lakes. Some parameters showed a seasonal variability for shallow and deep lakes. The least restrictive reference values of the four seasons were proposed to simplify the water quality assessment for regional lake management goals. These results indicated that the 50th percentile (median) value from the best one-third of the nutrient-concentration data distributions is more appropriate for the northeast eco-region lakes.     

红外光谱/扫描电镜等现代大型仪器岩石矿物鉴定技术及其应用

传统的光学显微镜由于分辨率、放大倍数的限制,对于细微颗粒的定性分析不准确,矿物的定量分析存在一定的误差,对纳米-微米级矿物形貌及结构特征的观察束手无策。随着油气勘探及地质找矿的不断深入,需要提供岩石中所有矿物、孔隙及微量元素的信息,因此整合傅里叶红外光谱仪、X射线衍射仪、拉曼光谱仪、扫描电镜的优点,建立以大型仪器为基础的岩石矿物鉴定方法是当前地质工作的需要。红外光谱光谱范围为7500~370 cm-1,能对固、液、气样品中含量高于30%的矿物进行快速、准确的定性分析;主要用于有机质分析,其次还可对部分具有极性键的无机化合物及金属氧化物进行分析。X射线衍射仪能快速地对样品中含量大于15%的矿物进行较为准确的定量分析;现今主要用于各类晶质矿物的定性分析,同时也可对碳酸盐岩矿物等不含水矿物进行定量分析。拉曼光谱仪光谱范围为200~1000 nm,空间分辨率为横向0.5μm、纵向2μm,通过对包裹体进行测试能直接获得成岩过程中的温度、压力、流体成分等信息;目前主要用于流体包裹体成分的测试,其次还可对分子极化度会发生变化的液态、粉末及固体样品进行定性分析。扫描电镜分辨率达到1 nm,能清晰地观察到纳米-微米级矿物的形貌特征及矿物的结构特征;主要用于纳米-微米级的任何非磁性固体矿物的形貌及相关关系的观察。通过大型仪器建立的岩石矿物鉴定方法具有更高的分辨率,显著地提高了岩矿鉴定的精准度,大大拓宽了岩矿鉴定的范围(如鉴定纳米/微米级的矿物、矿物的不同变种等),能够全面、精准地提供岩石矿物的矿物含量和矿物组成、客观准确的成岩作用信息、清晰的矿物微观形貌及结构特征,而且仪器功能相互重叠,测试结果相互验证,保证了测试结果的可靠性。与传统光学显微镜鉴定方法相比,现代大型仪器岩石矿物鉴定技术为揭示矿物间的共生、反应、演化、岩石的成因、沉积/成岩环境等提供了依据,为地质工作提供准确、全面的矿物定性定量、组构特征及成岩作用等信息,为地质工作的顺利完成奠定了坚实的基础。     

内蒙古八大关斑岩型铜钼矿床成岩成矿年代学研究

八大关斑岩铜钼矿床是中国内蒙大兴安岭地区典型的斑岩型铜钼矿床之一。对矿区Ⅱ号岩体不同位置的2件岩石样品采用高精度的LA_ICP_MS锆石U_Pb测年,获得的锆石U_Pb年龄分别为(230.6±2.8)Ma和(230.5±4.4)Ma,两者在误差范围内非常一致,由此确认花岗闪长斑岩体的形成年龄约为230 Ma;对矿区7件辉钼矿样品采用Re_Os同位素测年,获得的Re_Os等时线年龄为(228.7±3.1)Ma,指示了八大关铜钼矿床辉钼矿的沉淀时间约为228.7 Ma。结合矿区岩相学、矿物学特征,辉钼矿呈浸染状分布于花岗闪长斑岩体内,且辉钼矿与黄铜矿密切共生,以及上述2种精确方法获得的年龄在误差范围内的一致性,说明花岗闪长斑岩即为成矿岩体,成岩与成矿大致同时或成矿略晚于成岩,表明八大关铜钼矿床形成于中三叠世,属于印支期成矿。     

Micromechanical Modeling of Anisotropic Damage-Induced Permeability Variation in Crystalline Rocks

This paper presents a study on the initiation and progress of anisotropic damage and its impact on the permeability variation of crystalline rocks of low porosity. This work was based on an existing micromechanical model considering the frictional sliding and dilatancy behaviors of microcracks and the recovery of degraded stiffness when the microcracks are closed. By virtue of an analytical ellipsoidal inclusion solution, lower bound estimates were formulated through a rigorous homogenization procedure for the damage-induced effective permeability of the microcracks-matrix system, and their predictive limitations were discussed with superconducting penny-shaped microcracks, in which the greatest lower bounds were obtained for each homogenization scheme. On this basis, an empirical upper bound estimation model was suggested to account for the influences of anisotropic damage growth, connectivity, frictional sliding, dilatancy, and normal stiffness recovery of closed microcracks, as well as tensile stress-induced microcrack opening on the permeability variation, with a small number of material parameters. The developed model was calibrated and validated by a series of existing laboratory triaxial compression tests with permeability measurements on crystalline rocks, and applied for characterizing the excavation-induced damage zone and permeability variation in the surrounding granitic rock of the TSX tunnel at the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s (AECL) Underground Research Laboratory (URL) in Canada, with an acceptable agreement between the predicted and measured data.     

A preliminary discussion on the opportunities and challenges of linking climate change adaptation with disaster risk reduction

Managing the risks of extreme events such as natural disasters to advance climate change adaptation (CCA) has been a global focus. However, a critical challenge in supporting CCA is to improve its linkage with disaster risk reduction (DRR). Based on discussions on similarities and differences between CCA and DRR concerning their spatial–temporal scales, main focuses, preferred research approaches and methodologies, etc., this paper tentatively put forward an analytical framework of “6W” for linking DRR with CCA. This framework presented preliminary answers to a series of fundamental questions, such as “What is adaptation with respect to disaster risk?” “Why adaptation is needed?” “Who adapt to what?” “How to adapt?” “What are the possible principles to assess the adaptation effect?” To bridge the research gaps between CCA and DRR, it is imperative to associate the adaptation actions with both near-term disaster risk and long-term climate change and formulate adaptation strategies at various spatial–temporal scales by embracing uncertainty in a changing climate.     

安徽庐江泥河铁矿矿床地球化学特征及其对成因的制约

泥河铁矿位于长江中下游成矿带庐枞中生代火山岩盆地中,矿床具有典型玢岩型铁矿的地质特征,是研究玢岩型铁矿成因的良好对象。本次工作在详细的野外观察及室内研究的基础上,对泥河铁矿主成矿期矿石矿物的稀土元素、硫同位素及铅同位素进行了分析测试工作。主成矿期磁铁矿、黄铁矿稀土元素配分模式呈现LREE富集、HREE曲线平直、Eu轻微负异常的特征,与赋矿砖桥组熔岩、闪长玢岩的稀土元素配分模式较为一致,结合矿石矿物与围岩的铅同位素特征,推测成矿金属元素主要来源于赋矿的火山-次火山岩,可能有少量壳源物质的加入。黄铁矿与硬石膏的硫同位素表现出双峰式分布的特征,说明岩浆活动与三叠纪膏盐层均对硫有所贡献。三叠纪膏盐层在泥河铁矿的成矿过程中,不仅仅是重要的矿化剂,同样是铁质沉淀的氧化剂。综合矿床地质与地球化学特征,认为泥河铁矿是由次火山岩体演化产生的含矿高温热液在闪长玢岩穹窿顶部,通过交代充填作用形成的玢岩型铁硫矿床。     

粤北大宝山矿区加里东期火山岩的厘定及其地质意义

粤北大宝山矿区一带出露一套与层状Fe-Cu-Pb-Zn矿化紧密共生的层状火成岩。层状火成岩产状与上覆页岩及大理岩和下伏碳质页岩基本一致。本文通过层状火成岩显微特征及锆石年龄探讨火成岩形成环境及时代。层状火成岩为斑状结构,块状构造,局部发育条带状构造及流动构造。层状火成岩的斑晶主要由火山喷发形成的棱角明显石英、斜长石、钾长石、少量角闪石、黑云母及黄铁矿等晶屑及少量岩屑组成,基质为火山熔浆凝结形成的全晶质矿物,主要由粒度极细的石英、钾长石、绢云母、白云母及少量黑云母等组成,石英和钾长石构成典型的霏细结构。层状火成岩含大量火山碎屑及具流动构造等现象表明其为火山碎屑熔岩类,主要为英安质凝灰熔岩、流纹质凝灰熔岩及角砾熔岩。大宝山矿区中部流纹质凝灰熔岩和东部丘坝一带英安质凝灰熔岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄分别为436.4±4.1Ma,MSWD=0.94和434.1±4.4Ma,MSWD=1.9,是加里东期形成的。据大宝山矿区熔岩锆石U-Pb年龄,结合层状熔岩和灰岩及碳质页岩紧密共生及区域深大断裂构造活动特征,我们认为大宝山与层状矿化关系密切的层状火成岩为加里东期海相火山熔岩,粤北一带加里东期海相火山活动可能和形成于加里东期的吴川-四会深大断裂活动有关。     

内蒙古大青山地区古元古代花岗岩:地球化学、锆石SHRIMP定年及其地质意义

内蒙古大青山地区沿固阳-武川断裂带南侧发现一条古元古代花岗岩岩带,由石英闪长岩-闪长岩-角闪二长花岗岩组合构成.本文对其中典型代表厂汉脑包石英闪长岩、常福龙闪长岩和口子村角闪二长花岗岩进行了锆石定年和地球化学研究.地球化学上,石英闪长岩具有埃达克质花岗岩的特点,为低硅埃达克质花岗岩;大部分闪长岩具有赞岐岩的地球化学特征,部分具Closepet花岗岩特征;角闪二长花岗岩则全部具有Closepet花岗岩特征.根据锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年,它们形成于2416~2435Ma之间,并遭受古元古代晚期构造热事件改造.表明在该区古元古代早期真正意义的板块构造已起作用,从岩浆演化的角度说明前寒武纪构造体制发生重大转变.
