南泥湾湿地生态变迁研究

南泥湾是我国陕北的一片重要湿地,曾为中国革命的生存和发展提供了重要保障,在抗战时期垦殖而至今未被科学认知。根据史料记载以及人物传记,基于南泥湾湿地的科学认定,分析了南泥湾湿地的生态变迁,明确提出恢复南泥湾湿地,为陕北的好江南建设提供一定的科学支撑,为南泥湾湿地的恢复与部分重建提供前期基础。理想完美的南泥湾生态系统应当是湿地、森林、农田、草地的综合体,应当是陕北黄土高原的一块绿洲。     

基于三维结构面网络模拟的岩体变形模量确定方法

变形模量作为表征岩体变形特征的重要参数,是岩体工程设计的基础力学参数之一。在综合前人研究的基础上提出了基于三维结构面网络模拟确定岩体变形模量的方法,编制了三维结构面网络模拟及计算RQD值的程序。以西南山区某水电站坝址区岩体为实例,在概率统计各组优势结构面几何要素分布形式的基础上,采用Monte Carlo法生成三维结构面网络模型,据此获得岩体三维RQD值,利用RMR法进行质量评价和变形模量的确定,并与钻孔资料统计法和原位试验结果进行对比分析。结果表明：基于钻孔资料统计的估算结果与原位试验相对误差达31.62%,且其估算值偏低;基于三维结构面网络模拟的估算结果与原位试验相对误差仅为2.56%,估算结果精度较高。该方法考虑了岩体质量的空间各向异性,对岩体的质量评价和参数确定更为合理,研究成果为该工程的优化设计提供了合理的计算参数。

黔东南地区新元古代下江群的地层年代及其地质意义

黔东南地区下江群是分布在江南造山带西段的一套前寒武纪浅变质陆源碎屑岩夹火山碎屑岩组合, 其地层时代归属与划分特别是区域地层对比一直未能得到很好解决.在对该区前寒武纪地层广泛而详细的剖面测制和地质调查基础上, 运用LA-ICP-MS技术, 对地层中沉凝灰岩、含凝灰质碎屑岩和碎屑岩进行锆石U-Pb年代学测试, 获得一批高精度的年龄.四堡群河村组顶部的碎屑岩和下江群乌叶组第1段顶部的含凝灰质碎屑岩、清水江组底部与中部的沉凝灰岩、平略组中上部的含凝灰质碎屑岩、隆里组中下部的碎屑岩等样品中锆石U-Pb最小年龄组的加权平均年龄分别为819.8±6.4Ma和779.5±4.7Ma、764.0±6.3Ma与(756.8±7.6Ma、756.0±13.0Ma)、733.9±8.8Ma及725.0±10.0Ma.这些数据将四堡群和下江群的时代限制为新元古代.结合研究区隆里组与长安组整合接触关系和全球低纬度南华系冰期起始年龄(717.4Ma)的地质事实, 将下江群沉积时限约束在815~717Ma之间.根据区域岩浆事件进一步约束了下江群各组段的地层时限, 并开展江南造山带下江群及其相当层位的地层划分与对比, 认为新元古代岩浆作用制约着黔东南下江群盆地的演化.      

滇西施甸地区晚泛非运动的地层学和岩石学响应

保山地块的寒武系露头少,研究范围有限。长期以来,地学界对寒武系与奥陶系之间的接触关系存在较大争议,有人认为是整合接触,有人认为是假整合接触,囿于过去的工作精度,目前尚无定论。近年来,在保山施甸地区开展1∶5万区调工作时发现,区内普遍缺失早奥陶世沉积,仅在施甸半坡一带有中奥陶统,在大寨一带,中上奥陶统蒲缥组直接平行不整合在上寒武统保山组之上,结合晚寒武世—早奥陶世业已存在的岩浆活动,认为这是晚泛非运动的远程响应。     

Variations of Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic systematics in basalt during intensive weathering

The Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic compositions of both saprolites and parent rocks of a profile of intensively weathered Neogene basalt in Hainan, South China are reported in this paper to investigate changes of isotopic systematics with high masses. The results indicate that all these isotopic systematics show significant changes in saprolites compared to those in corresponding parent rocks. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr system was more seriously affected by weathering processes than other isotope systems, with ε_Sr drifts 30 to 70 away from those of the parent rocks. In the upper profile (> 2.2 m), the Sr isotopes of the saprolites show an upward increasing trend with ε_Sr changing from ~ 50 at 2.2 m to ~ 70 at 0.5 m, accompanying a upward increasing of Sr concentrations, from ~ 10 μg/g to ~ 25 μg/g. As nearly all the Sr of the parent rock has been removed during intensive weathering in this profile, the upward increasing of Sr concentrations in the upper profile suggests import of extraneous Sr. Rainwater in this region, which enriches in Sr (up to 139 μg/L) from seawater, may be the important extraneous source. Thus, the Sr isotopes of the saprolites in the upper profile may be mainly influenced by import of extraneous materials, and the Sr isotopic characteristics may not be retained. In contrast, the ε_Nd and ε_Hf of the saprolites drift only 0–2.6 and 0–3.7 away from the parent rocks, respectively. The negative drifts of the ε_Nd and ε_Hf are coupled with Nd and Hf losses in the saprolites; i.e., larger proportions of Nd and Hf loss correspond to lower ε_Nd and ε_Hf. Compared with the relative high Nd and Hf concentrations of the saprolites, the contributions of extraneous Nd and Hf both from wet and dry deposits of aeolian input are negligible. Thus, the ε_Nd and ε_Hf changes in the profile are mainly resulted from consecutive removal of the Nd and Hf. Calculation indicates that the ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd and ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios in saprolites are all significantly lower than their initial values in the parent rock. Simply removing part of the Nd and Hf by incongruent decomposing some of the minerals may not account for this. Fractionation should be happen, which ¹⁴³Nd and ¹⁷⁶Hf may be preferentially removed from the profile relative to ¹⁴⁴Nd and ¹⁷⁷Hf during intensive chemical weathering, resulting in lower ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd and ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios in saprolites relative to the parent rock, even though details for this process is not known. A positive correlation is observed between the ε_Nd and ε_Hf of the saprolites. Interestingly, the saprolites with a net loss of Nd and Hf in the upper profile show good positive correlation, and the regression line parallels the terrestrial array. By contrast, saprolites with a net gain of Nd and Hf in the lower profile generally show higher ε_Hf values at a given ε_Nd value, and the regression line between these ε_Nd and ε_Hf appears to parallel the seawater array. This supports the hypothesis that the contribution of continental Hf from chemical weathering release is the key to the obliquity of the seawater array away from the terrestrial array of the global ε_Nd and ε_Hf correlation. Our results also indicate that caution is needed when using ε_Sr, ε_Nd, and ε_Hf to trace provenances for sediments and soils.     

遗址土劣化进程中微观结构变化的类比研究

长期的风化会使遗址土体劣化,进而威胁到遗址本体的安全,但在自然条件下这一演化过程尚不明确。遗址土体微观结构的变化是该过程的重要体现,研究选取风化条件近似而暴露时间不同的黄土质边坡作为类比对象,采用扫描电镜法（SEM）和压汞法（MIP）分别对表部以及内部土样的微观孔隙结构进行观察和量测。试验结果表明,表部土体微观结构的变化程度大于内部土体,并呈现一定的规律性;与内部土体相比,表部土体的土颗粒排列为致密的叠片状;其孔径分布为双峰模式,团聚体内孔隙占比较大;随着风化时间的增长,表部土体的孔隙总体积和表面分形维数逐渐减小,导致孔壁粗糙程度降低,减小了颗粒间的摩擦,在宏观上容易诱发土体表层的剥离损耗或其他病害。     

Wind-Driven Dissolved Organic Matter Dynamics in a Chesapeake Bay Tidal Marsh-Estuary System

Controls on organic matter cycling across the tidal wetland-estuary interface have proved elusive, but high-resolution observations coupled with process-based modeling can be a powerful methodology to address shortcomings in either methodology alone. In this study, detailed observations and three-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling are used to examine biogeochemical exchanges in the marsh-estuary system of the Rhode River, MD, USA. Analysis of observations near the marsh in 2015 reveals a strong relationship between marsh creek salinity and dissolved organic matter fluorescence (fDOM), with wind velocity indirectly driving large amplitude variation of both salinity and fDOM at certain times of the year. Three-dimensional model results from the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model implemented for the wetland system with a new marsh grass drag module are consistent with observations, simulating sub-tidal variability of marsh creek salinity. The model results exhibit an interaction between wind-driven variation in surface elevation and flow velocity at the marsh creek, with northerly winds driving increased freshwater signal and discharge out of the modeled wetland during precipitation events. Wind setup of a water surface elevation gradient axially along the estuary drives the modeled local sub-tidal flow and thus salinity variability. On sub-tidal time scales (>36 h, <1 week), wind is important in mediating dissolved organic matter releases from the Kirkpatrick Marsh into the Rhode River.     

Microwave observations of daily Antarctic sea-ice edge expansion and contraction rates

Algorithms for estimating sea-ice extent from remotely sensed microwave sensor data can benefit from knowledge of the "a priori" distribution of the daily expansion and contraction of the sea-ice pack. To estimate the probability distribution of daily Antarctic sea-ice extent change, two independent sea-ice datasets are analyzed: sea-ice extent derived from the QuikSCAT scatterometer and ice concentration estimates from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager. The daily sea-ice advance and retreat is tracked over a four-year period. The distribution of the daily sea-ice advance/retreat from each sensor is similar and is approximately double-exponential. Daily ice-pack statistics are presented.
