Enlightenment of the Mariana Fore-arc Sedimentary Basin Evolution to the Subduction Process

The Mariana subduction structure is a hot topic in ocean-ocean subduction zone research,and its subduction mechanism has attracted wide attention from experts and scholars in China and abroad.Based on the multi-channel seismic data of survey line MGL1204 in the Mariana fore-arc and DSDP ocean drilling data,this paper studies the development and evolution characteristics of the structure and strata in the Cenozoic Mariana fore-arc sedimentary basin.The Cenozoic strata are divided into six seismic sequences,with the possible era of each seismic sequence discerned,and the relationship between fault development and earthquakes analyzed.The episodic activity of the volcanic chain of the Mariana island arc is thought to control the tectonic and stratigraphic development pattern of the Cenozoic sedimentary basin in the fore-arc.Between 16°N-19°N and 146°E-151°E,the maximum thickness of the sedimentary center of the Cenozoic fore-arc sedimentary basin in Mariana is about 2360 m.Normal faults are developed in the area and some broke to the seabed,indicating that the Mariana island arc is still in the post-arc expansion stage.The application of multi-channel seismic sections in structural and stratigraphic evolution study is an important means to elucidating the Mariana subduction mechanism.     

天山哈密榆树沟流域春洪期水化学特征及其控制因素研究

2013年4月26日-5月2日,逐日采集哈密榆树沟流域下游榆树沟水文站点的河水样。综合运用描述性统计、相关性分析、Gibbs图、阴阳离子三角图示法,对主要的化学离子、pH值、电导率EC、总可溶性固体TDS进行了分析。结果表明:榆树沟流域春洪期径流水体呈弱碱性;HCO3-、Ca2+是阴、阳离子中最主要的离子,Ca2+质量浓度占阳离子总数的74.31%,HCO3-质量浓度占阴离子总数的82.07%;水化学类型为HCO3--Ca2+;径流中主要离子组成、TDS、EC、pH值受即时径流量的调节作用不大,岩石的风化作用是水化学主要离子来源的主要控制因素,其中主要来源于石灰岩等碳酸盐岩的风化。     

The impact of topography on social factors,a case study of Montenegro

Relationships between environmental and social factors have long been studied by geographers.Nowadays,GIS-aided statistical analysis provides new tools to explore these relationships.In order to detect the impact of topography on social factors,we selected the country of Montenegro as a case example due to its high topographic variability.We compared the spatial pattern of population,settlements and ethnic minorities to physical geographic factors,especially to topography,but lithology and land cover data were also taken into consideration.We found that certain factors are closely correlated,e.g.the settlement density linearly decreases with elevation,while the characteristic settlement area shows an exponential increase upwards.The population density is not related to absolute elevation,but it is in close correlation with height（i.e.elevation relative to the local minimum）.Population change and illiteracy are also topography-related social factors.On the contrary,the variable ethnic pattern of Montenegro is influenced by historical,political and economic effects rather than by environmental factors or topographic features.As a conclusion we state that in the scale of a country or a region,the environment can strongly impact some social factors.

Ionic conductivity anomaly in soil cover——Exploration of blind mineralization beneath regolith cover

This paper briefly describes the formation of ionic conductivity anomalies in soil cover, and the characteristics of ionic composition that forms conductivity anomalies, based on the theory of geoelectrochemical halo. Based on some practical results of soluble ions in soil cover and soil conductivity derived from a number of mining areas of both China and overseas, here we present the correlation of a conductivity anomaly with the ionic composition and establish a model for the formation of conductivity ano...     

中国天山冰川区降水、积雪pH和电导率季节变化特征分析

根据乌鲁木齐河源区2003-2004年度的大气降水样品、1号冰川一个完整年周期的连续雪坑样品及哈密庙儿沟平顶冰川和奎屯51号冰川雪坑样品的pH和电导率资料,系统探讨大气降水、表层雪、雪坑样品中pH和电导率的季节变化特征和沉积过程中pH和电导率的变化特点,以及不同冰川区雪坑中pH值和电导率的空间差异。结果表明:大气降水及表层雪中pH和电导率有着相似的季节变化趋势,主要受冰川所在区域大气中可溶性离子浓度和沉积后过程的影响;对1号冰川大气降水、表层雪和雪坑样品中pH和电导率的对比分析发现,从降水到表层雪,最后到雪坑样品的演化过程中,pH和电导率均呈减小趋势,而且pH和电导率的最高值均出现在春季;自西向东随着地理环境的变化,雪坑中样品的pH值呈升高趋势,哈密庙尔沟平顶冰川最大,乌鲁木齐河源1号冰川次之,奎屯哈希勒根51号冰川最小,但电导率却呈现出了不同的变化规律。     

Spatial and temporal dynamics of size-structured photosynthetic parameters (PAM) and primary production ((13)C) of pico- and nano-phytoplankton in an atoll lagoon

Atoll lagoons display a high diversity of trophic states due mainly to their specific geomorphology, and probably to their level and mode of human exploitation. We investigated the functioning of the Ahe atoll lagoon, utilized for pearl oyster farming, through estimations of photosynthetic parameters (pulse amplitude modulation fluorometry) and primary production ((13)C incorporation) measurements of the size structured phytoplankton biomass (<2μm and >2μm). Spatial and temporal scales of variability were surveyed during four seasons, over 16months, at four sites within the lagoon. While primary production (P) was dominated by the picophytoplankton, its biomass specific primary productivity (P(B)) was lower than in other atoll lagoons. The variables size fraction of the phytoplankton, water temperature, season, the interaction term station*fraction and site, explained significantly the variance of the data set using redundancy analysis. No significant trends over depth were observed in the range of 0-20m. A clear spatial pattern was found which was persistent over the seasons: south and north sites were different from the two central stations for most of the measured variables. This pattern could possibly be explained by the existence of water cells showing different water residence time within the lagoon. Photoacclimation strategies of the two size fractions differed through their light saturation coefficient (higher for picophytoplankton), but not through their maximum photosynthetic capacity (ETR(max)). Positive linear relationships between photosynthetic parameters indicated that their dynamic was independent of light availability in this ecosystem, but most probably dependent on nutrient availability and/or rapid changes in the community structure. Spatial and temporal patterns of the measured processes are then further discussed in the context of nutrient availability and the possible role of cultured oysters in nutrient recycling.
