Oil components in the mouth area of the Don R. and in the Sea of Azov: Results of many-year studies

The data given are the results of many-year studying the distribution of the concentrations of main oil components (hydrocarbons, surfactants, and asphaltene-tarry substances) in the water mass, vertically settling particulate matter, and bottom sediment cores taken from the section Lower Don-The Gulf of Taganrog-Russian sector of the Sea of Azov in summer and autumn periods in 2006–2011. Spatial and seasonal regularities in the distributions of the total concentration of oil components and the values of their ratios in water, as well as the spatial and annual features of their accumulation in bottom sediments have been established. Radiological methods have been used for layer-by-layer dating of bottom sediment cores and determine the thickness of the layer that had formed under the maximal anthropogenic impact on ecosystems. The presence of considerable amounts of hydrocarbons of modern biological origin has been revealed in all components of examined aquatic complexes.

秦皇岛柳江地区辉绿岩脉特征及其成因

秦皇岛柳江地区辉绿岩脉主要分布于碳酸盐岩出露区的亮甲山、石门寨、潮水峪西北、砂锅店东北、揣庄北、石岭西北、鸡冠山等地,且多以脉状,岩墙、岩床等形式产出。对柳江地区辉绿岩常量元素的分析表明:w(SiO₂)变化较大,且平均值较低;w(FeO+Fe₂O₃)平均值比基性岩类略偏高;w(Al₂O₃)、w(CaO)、w(MgO)、w(K₂O+Na₂O)的平均值均在基性岩类平均值范围内;w(TiO₂)的平均值为1.53%。微量元素富集高场强元素Ta、Nb、Zr、Hf,La/Nb>1,表明岩浆上升过程中受到地壳不同程度的混染;稀土元素球粒陨石标准化分布型图各样品基本一致,呈右倾,稀土元素总量较高,轻稀土较重稀土富集,无明显的Eu异常,反映出岩浆演化过程中分离结晶作用并不明显,样品之间的稀土分馏程度相同。分析结果与研究区辉绿岩的岩相学特征相结合,表明柳江地区辉绿岩属于钾玄岩系列,来自于板内环境。结合研究区大地构造背景,认为研究区辉绿岩脉是钾玄质系列玄武质岩浆沿早期断裂或岩层层面灌入冷凝而形成。

从国内外湿地研究进展看，濒海湿地景观变化及其管理对策研究得到人们越来越广泛的重视。以辽宁双台河自然保护区为研究区域，利用1994和1997年两期TM数据进行GIS数据处理，通过各种类型的湿地景观在该时段的面积变化得到保护区濒海湿地景观的动态变化特征，并在变化原因分析的基础上提出了一些相应的保护区管理对策，以便更好地为湿地保护和管理提供决策依据。     

青藏高原多年冻土微生物的培养和计数

以青藏高原腹地北麓河流域的两个6m钻孔为对象,对多年冻土中保存的微生物进行初步培养和总数测定,并分析了微生物与土壤环境之间的关系.结果表明,两个钻孔中可以培养的微生物数目在3.6×10⁶～5.0×10²之间;随着深度增加,冻土年代递增,可以培养的数目显著减少.表层冻土属于季节冻土,可培养的微生物种群较多.总的土壤微生物数目(包括可以培养和不能培养的微生物)随深度递减,两个孔在3.8×10⁹～1.0×10⁷之间.相关性分析表明,土壤中可以培养的微生物以及总的微生物与土壤的pH值、电导率、总有机质和全氮没有显著的相关关系,而与土壤深度关系密切.两个钻孔间的地表植被虽然差异明显,但从可培养的微生物数量和土壤微生物总数比较看来,两孔间没有明显的不同.     

Occurrences of major earthquakes by groups in North China

The earthquakes with magnitude M 6 which occurred in North China (30°–42°N, 105°–124°E) from 780 B.C. to 1978 A.D. have been analysed. Most of them appear in groups, each of which is confined to a definite region and period of time, called respectively the active region and active period. From 780 B.C. to 1000 A.D., groupings of earthquakes were not apparent, due to scanty data. Since 1000 A.D., 16 groups of earthquakes can be recognized. Statistics show that about 73% of the earthquakes occurred in groups. This implies that grouping of earthquakes of M 6 is a characteristic feature of seismic activity in North China. On this basis, a concept of a unified seismogenic process of major earthquakes has been proposed with the support of the geodetic data. Finally, the significance of this concept with regards to earthquake prediction has been discussed.     

Paleomagnetic Excursions Recorded in the Yanchi Playa in Middle Hexi Corridor, NW China Since the Last Interglacial

Paleomagnetic determinations on lithologieal profiles of two paralleled long drillin gcores covering the past 130 kyr B.P., GT40 and GT60,from the Yanchi Playa in the arid Northwestern China indicate that a series of pronounced paleomagnetic excursions have been documented. By correlating our results with published regional and worldwide reports 4 excursion events out of 10 apparent reversal signals (labeled from GT-1 to GT-10) were identified as excursion events coeval with the Mono Lake Event (28.4 kyr-25.8 kyr), Laschamp Event (43.3 kyr-40.5kyr), Gaotai Event (82.8 kyr-72.4 kyr) and the Blake Event (127.4 kyr-113.3 kyr), respectively. GT-9 correlates with the above-mentioned Gaotai Event,GT-7 and GT-6 correspond to two stages of the Laschamp Event and GT-5 to the Mono Lake Event. It is noteworthy that the so-called Gaotai Event has not been reported as a pronounced paleomagnetic excursion in the Northwestern China. Every magnetic excursion event corresponds to paleointensity minima, anteceding those established abrupt paleoclimatic change events, such as the Younger Drays and the Heinrich Events (H1-H6). Here, we tentatively propose that these geomagnetic excursions/reversals can be viewed as precursors to climate abruptness. During the transitional stages when the earth‘s magnetic field shifted between a temporal normal and a negative period, the earth‘s magnetic paleointensity fell correspondingly to a pair of minima. Although more precise chronology and more convincing rock magnetic parameter determinations are essentially required for further interpretation of their intricate coupling mechanism, these results may have revealed, to some extent, that the earth‘s incessantly changing magnetic field exerts an strong influence on the onset of saw-tooth shaped abrupt climate oscillations through certain feedback chains in arid Central Asia or even North Hemispheric high latitude regions.     

北祁连山东段新元古代火山岩的年代学证据

在1∶5万石门川幅、老龙湾幅区域地质调查时发现,北祁连山东段上吊吊坡地区存在一套不同于下奥陶统阴沟群的火山岩,经全岩样品Sm-Nd同位素测定,获得Sm-Nd等时线年龄为(723±25.0)Ma,表明其形成时代为新元古代。地球化学特征表明该套火山岩形成于岛弧环境,说明当时北祁连东段仍处于洋壳俯冲挤压环境。     

Seasonal variations of stable isotope in precipitation and moisture transport at Yushu,eastern Tibetan Plateau

Precipitation δ 18O at Yushu, eastern Tibetan Plateau, shows strong fluctuation and lack of clear seasonality. The seasonal pattern of precipitation stable isotope at Yushu is apparently different from either that of the southwest monsoon region to the south or that of the inland region to the north. This different seasonal pattern probably reflects the shift of different moisture sources. In this paper, we present the spatial comparison of the seasonal patterns of precipitation δ 18O, and calculate the moisture transport flux by using the NCAR/NCEP reanalysis data. This allows us to discuss the relation between moisture transport flux and precipitation δ 18O. This study shows that both the southwest monsoon from south and inland air mass transport from north affected the seasonal precipitation δ 18O at Yushu, eastern Tibetan Plateau. Southwest monsoon brings the main part of the moisture, but southwest transport flux is weaker than in the southern part of the Tibetan Plateau. However, contribution of the inland moisture from north or local evaporation moisture is enhanced. The combined effect is the strong fluctuation of summer precipitation δ 18O at Yushu and comparatively poor seasonality.     

利用精密单点定位求解电离层延迟

利用非组合精密单点定位(PPP)可以提取高精度的电离层延迟。测站多径误差会影响伪距和相位测量精度,影响实时PPP电离层延迟提取的精度以及收敛速度。对于静态观测站,利用对GPS卫星地面跟踪的时间重复性进行恒星日滤波可以消除多径误差的影响。通过事后处理提取前几日的码和载波相位残差序列,利用恒星日滤波建立多径误差改正模型,修正实时观测数据,可以改善实时电离层延迟估计性能。对IGS观测站的实测数据分析表明,应用恒星日滤波多径误差修正后,实时电离层延迟提取的精度由0.185 m提高到0.028 m,新进卫星的电离层参数估计收敛时间由80 min减少为35 min。
