Pacific decadal oscillation impact on East China precipitation and its imprint in new geological documents

This paper briefly introduces the history of the study of the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) and explores the relationship between the PDO and sediment grain size from two typical sediment cores from the lower Changjiang (Yangtze River) and Huanghe (Yellow River) estuaries. It is found that the median grain sizes of both cores exhibit relatively high correlation with the PDO. This is because the PDO causes interdecadal variability of precipitation in the East Asia Monsoon region, thus changing the hydrodynamics in both the Changjiang and Huanghe catchments, eventually resulting in variation of sediment grain size. Our analysis also revealed that during different phases of the PDO, the sediment grain size of the Changjiang and Huanghe estuaries showed different variations in cold and warm PDO phases. This is related to movement of the precipitation center driven by the shift in different PDO phases. Moreover, we compared more high resolution geological proxies with the PDO, including stalagmites and tree rings, in East China over the past century. The results indicate that variations of studied geological proxies are generally well correlated with the PDO but have some differences. Finally, longer variations of sediment grain sizes in the Changjiang and Huanghe estuaries are compared with a reconstructed PDO over the last 200 years; sediment grain sizes were still correlated with the PDO, implying that sediment grain size may be used as a new proxy for studying the long-term behavior of the PDO. This result supports previous knowledge of the PDO impact on East China climate evolution and offers a new proxy for further PDO study. Our study will improve paleoenvironment reconstruction in East China on a decadal time scale and benefit future climatic predictions.     

天水-秦安一带中新世黄土堆积区沉积-地貌演化

前人的构造地质学研究,将天水-秦安一带的中新世黄土分布区划归两个不同的构造单元.文章基于野外调查和已有年代地层学工作,结合前人成果,对该区新生代沉积-地貌演化历史进行研究,并划分为以下主要阶段:1)古近纪初南部秦岭山地的剥蚀,使本区在原有基岩准平原地形的基础上,形成以冲洪积平原为主的地形.古近纪末-新近纪初的构造活动使冲洪积平原解体,在秦安地区形成基岩台地与沉陷盆地相间、天水-西和地区形成拉分盆地与隆起山地交错的地貌景观,这些高地为中新世黄土堆积提供了地形基础.2)中新世从22Ma到Ma,基岩台地和相对平缓的高地上堆积典型黄土-古土壤序列,盆地内则主要发育次生黄土等洼地沉积,表明研究区类似于今天的黄土高原.3)中新世晚期约Ma起发生的一次侵蚀事件,使研究区的一些小盆地内发育河流相和间歇性浅湖相沉积,秦安一带的黄土堆积也遭到侵蚀,形成的洼地内发育黄土状土或洼地静水沉积,其中包含较多哺乳动物化石,而大范围的相对平坦高地上一直继续发育黄土-古土壤序列.这次侵蚀对本区内甘肃群的沉积多样性有重要贡献,但一直没有深水湖泊发育的条件.4)发生于3.5Ma以后的另一次重大侵蚀,奠定了该区今天狭窄长墚地形的基础,是第四纪黄土堆积在本区保存较差的主要原因.     

基于有限杆单元法的陡坡基桩非线性分析

根据陡坡段桥梁基桩承载特性,提出了一种可考虑桩土非线性作用的基桩内力与位移分析有限杆单元方法。首先,基于单元划分结果,结合桩侧摩阻力和坡体侧向推力的分布规律,得到了相应的等效结点荷载向量表示方法;其次,在线弹性地基反力法的基础上,引入p-y曲线开展了桩周土抗力非线性分析,并结合桩身P-?效应（P为桩顶轴向荷载,?为桩顶水平位移）计算方法给出了单元刚度矩阵修正方法,进而提出了适用于基桩内力位移非线性分析的有限杆单元法并编制了MATLAB计算程序;最后,结合某工程实例,将计算结果与工程实测值及已有理论值进行对比。结果表明：考虑桩土非线性作用的计算方法是合理的;当桩身具有自由段时,P-?效应对基桩内力位移的影响较大,在实际工程设计中不可忽视。     

长江中下游成矿带三维S波速度结构及对深部过程的约束

利用73个固定台站记录的163个远震事件数据,采用多道互相关技术挑选了5524条S波到时数据,并对S波到时数据进行地壳校正,在此基础上采用天然地震层析成像方法和远震S波到时信息,获得了长江中下游成矿带上地幔的三维S波速度结构模型.研究结果表明:(1)研究区域上地幔存在着明显的低速异常,且走向与成矿带相同,可能为上涌的软流圈热物质;(2)研究区域地幔过渡带和上地幔底部存在着明显的高速异常,可能为俯冲的古太平洋板块和拆沉的岩石圈;(3)成矿带上地幔的低速异常呈现由南向北逐渐变浅的空间分布特征,该特征表明软流圈热物质由南向北上涌.综合分析认为,成矿带中生代大规模岩浆活动和成矿作用的深部过程主要与岩石圈的拆沉密切相关.

The δ18O in the Guliya shallow ice core during the prevailing summer monsoons and sea-air interactions

The correlations of the δ¹⁸O_max in the shallow ice core from the Guliya ice cap on the Tibetan Plateau with the global sea surface temperatures (SST) and height at the 500 hPa over the Northern Hemisphere were analyzed. The correlated regions on oceans that have a significant influence on the δ¹⁸O_max in the Guliya ice core are all located in ocean currents, or convergent regions of currents. They are the eastern Equatorial Pacific, the Northern Pacific Current, the Hot Pool in the eastern Indian Ocean, the Mozambique Current, the Northern Atlantic Current, the Canary Current and the Atlantic Equatorial Current. The δ¹⁸O_max in the Guliya ice core has negative correlations with the SST located in the lower latitudes, and positive correlations with the SST in the middle latitudes. The correlated areas at the 500 hPa that have a great impact on the δ¹⁸O_max are located in the subtropical highs over the mid-low-latitude oceans and the long-wave trough area over Balkhash Lake, where there are marked negative correlations between the heights in those areas and the δ¹⁸O_max. The influencing mechanism is displayed by the diversity of the vapor origins transported to the Guliya region. The strengths of the European ridge and the ridge over Baikal Lake have notable positive correlations with the δ¹⁸O_max. The two systems indirectly influence the vapor transportation towards the Guliya region by the adjustment of long-wave trough and ridge.     

基于监测曲线特征点分析的阶跃型滑坡预警方法

在三峡库区专业监测滑坡中,部分滑坡受到库水或者降雨等外界因素影响,其累计位移-时间曲线表现出明显的“阶跃型”特征。直接使用改进切线角对阶跃型滑坡位移监测曲线进行预警分析,其改进切线角预警值可能在变形曲线陡增阶段高于实际预警级别,增加虚警率。为了准确判别阶跃型滑坡的变形阶段及发展趋势,本文以白家包滑坡和谭家湾滑坡为例,分析滑坡监测历史数据及其影响因素,采用斜率单变点分析法和AMPD法对“阶跃型”累计位移-时间曲线进行特征点提取,结合Hill 函数形成特征点拟合曲线,在此基础上利用改进切线角对拟合曲线进行滑坡变形阶段划分及预警分析。结果表明,当前白家包滑坡总体上处于蠕滑变形阶段,预警级别为无预警;谭家湾滑坡处于中加速变形阶段,预警级别为橙色预警。研究表明,本文方法可以很好抑制变形曲线的阶跃特征对预警级别判定带来的影响,更准确地判定滑坡变形阶段。     

花岗岩中铀性状的实验研究—铀的可溶性及含铀溶液的酸性演化

实验主要针对内生条件下花岗岩中铀的可溶性进行的。恒压(500bar)变温(200—400℃,个别达480℃)以及恒温(300℃)变压(100—1500bar)状态下的实验结果表明,花岗岩中铀的最大溶解度多发生在温度低于250℃、压力(P_(H_2O))低于500bar(个别小于1000bar)的范围内。铀最易溶解在碳酸溶液中。伴随压力的降低,碳酸盐和富含碳酸的溶液溶解铀的能力显著增强。含铀溶液随着温度的降低,呈碱性—酸性—碱性演化。
