Design and Implementation of a Distributed GIS Portal for Oil Spill and Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring in the Marine Environment

A web-based distributed system for monitoring and forecasting of the marine environment has been developed in line with INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe (INSPIRE) and Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) recommendations for a European Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). This system, called DISPRO, enables integration and distribution of multi-source data from satellites, aircraft, and in situ instruments, as well as results from numerical models. Geographic data and metadata are stored on a set of distributed computer nodes and retrieved and integrated by a web GIS client by means of Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Server (WMS) technologies. A profile of ISO 19115 was developed for metadata handling, using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) as a platform independent encoding mechanism. DISPRO has been demonstrated in six European coastal zone and ocean regions in the spring and summer of 2005. The overall positive experiences of both service providers and end users indicate that the system should be further developed into an operational GMES service.     

Geodynamically indicated targeting strategy for shale‐hosted massive sulfide Pb–Zn–Ag mineralisation in the Western Fold Belt,Mt Isa terrane

There is ongoing debate with respect to the genetic models for shale‐hosted massive sulfide Pb–Zn–Ag deposits contained in the Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic intracontinental Isa Superbasin in the Western Fold Belt, Mt Isa terrane. Favourable sites of mineralisation can be predicted based on understanding the tectonic setting of the Isa Superbasin, the structural controls of mineralisation and the chemically favourable environments for ore deposition. Shale‐hosted massive sulfide Pb–Zn–Ag deposits are hosted in successions deposited during the dominant sag‐phase of the Isa Superbasin. These deposits are localised at the intersections of major basin‐scale extensional faults and are hosted in both shallow‐marine and deeper water carbonaceous shales that are characteristically anoxic and located near or at maximum flooding surfaces. All major shale‐hosted massive sulfide Pb–Zn–Ag deposits are located to the west of the Mt Isa Rift (ca 1710–1670 Ma). This spatial association is explained by an asymmetrical lithosphere extension model for the evolution of the Isa Superbasin. Elevated geothermal gradients at the location of maximum subcrustal lithospheric thinning to the west of the Mt Isa Rift may have driven the migration of basinal brines. Increased subsidence at this location produced favourable anoxic sedimentary horizons for metal precipitation during orebody formation.     

Ordovician system

Rocks in the Brungle‐Darbalara area of the Tumut Trough form two distinct domains: basement (mainly Bullawyarra Schist), of Cambrian‐Ordovician age, and an Ordovician ‐ Early Silurian sedimentary and volcanic cover sequence. These two domains are separated by a sharp discontinuity that marks an abrupt change in rock type, structure, metamorphic grade and deformation style. Cover sequences have undergone only one major penetrative deformation during the Late Silurian, involving sub‐greenschist facies metamorphism and upright folding. In contrast, the basement also underwent at least two older deformations at greenschist facies and contains distinct high‐strain zones subconcordant with the basement‐cover contact. The high‐strain zones, characterized by a ubiquitous south‐southeast trending mineral lineation, record a discontinuous history of ductile followed by brittle behaviour, consistent with an extensional origin.

The structural and metamorphic discontinuity separating basement from Silurian cover is characterized by widespread cataclasis and alteration and is interpreted as a major detachment fault associated with lithospheric extension and the development of the Tumut Trough in the Early Silurian. During the main period of movement on the detachment, which took place prior to intrusion of the Blacks Flat Diorite into the Bullawyarra Schist, mafic and serpentinized ultramafic rocks either were tectonically emplaced or intruded into the high strain zones. This preceded and accompanied extensional faulting of the cover and deposition of Silurian trough sediments and volcanics which unconformably overlie and onlap older units.

The development of the Tumut Trough, in the Brungle‐Darbalara area, bears many similarities with that of Cordilleran metamorphic core complexes. Such a model is consistent with environments suggested for the trough by previous workers. The south‐southeast extension direction parallels the trough‐bounding faults and implies an overall strike‐slip tectonic setting.     

GeoVisuals: a visual analytics approach to leverage the potential of spatial videos and associated geonarratives

ABSTRACT

Videos embedded with spatial coordinates, especially when combined with additional expert insights, offer the potential to acquire fine-scale multi-time period contextualized data for a variety of different environments. However, while these geospatial multimedia (GSMM) data include abundant spatiotemporal, semantic and visual information, the means to fully leverage their potential using a suite of visual and interactive analysis techniques and tools has thus far been lacking. In this paper, we address this gap by first identifying the types of tasks required of GSMM data, and then presenting a solution platform. This GeoVisuals system utilizes a visual analysis approach built on semantic data points that can be integrated spatially, which in turn enables management in a unified database with combined spatio-temporal and text querying. A set of visualization functions are integrated in two investigation modes: geo-video analysis and geo-location analysis.     

华北克拉通北缘三叠纪金矿床地质特征、物质来源与控制因素SCIEI北大核心CSCD

三叠纪是华北克拉通重要的成矿期,三叠纪金矿主要分布在华北克拉通北缘,构成一条近东西向延伸、长约1500km的金成矿带,其中包括乌拉山-大青山、张家口、冀东-辽西、青城子及夹皮沟等多个金矿集中区。华北克拉通北缘三叠纪金矿带的赋矿围岩主要为新太古代-中元古代变质岩系和中生代花岗岩类,金矿床以石英脉型矿化为主,伴随蚀变岩型矿化;中、西段金矿集中区矿化组合表现为金或金钼矿化,东段则以金多金属矿化为主。同位素年代学资料表明,该带金矿主要形成于晚三叠世(240~220Ma);流体包裹体特征表明,成矿流体具中温、低盐度、低密度特征,属于H_(2)O-NaCl-CO_(2)±CH_(4)体系,相分离作用可能是石英脉型金矿金沉淀的主要机制;氢-氧同位素组成进一步表明,成矿流体早期为岩浆水或变质水,后期混入了大气降水。矿石碳、硫、铅、氦-氩同位素及金矿集中区内成矿相关岩体的钕、铪同位素组成表明,华北克拉通北缘三叠纪金矿床的成矿流体和成矿物质均与壳-幔混合作用有关,其中,幔源物质及流体的贡献与区域三叠纪岩浆活动有关,壳源组分的贡献主要来自前寒武纪变质围岩。金矿床形成的构造背景整体上与中亚造山带造山后伸展作用有关:晚三叠世,华北北缘受中亚造山带碰撞后伸展作用的影响,发生岩石圈首次减薄事件,同时发育多条深大断裂及碱性花岗岩-碱性岩的侵入活动,为大规模区域金矿的形成提供了优越条件。金矿带的东段可能同时受扬子克拉通与华北板块碰撞作用的影响,是造成其与中、西段金矿集中区成矿特征有一定差异的主因。     

古亚洲洋东段洋盆闭合与后造山伸展——来自内蒙古苏尼特右旗中三叠世A型花岗岩的证据

内蒙古苏尼特右旗查干楚鲁A型二长花岗岩位于索伦-林西缝合带内,侵位于早二叠世哈冷岭SSZ型蛇绿构造混杂岩(带)中。本文对其进行系统的野外地质特征、岩石学、地球化学和锆石U-Pb年代学研究,旨在厘定岩体成因和形成的构造背景,为古亚洲洋东段洋盆闭合时限提供证据。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年结果显示查干楚鲁二长花岗岩侵位于中三叠世(245.9±1.3 Ma);岩体含较多碱性长石,暗色矿物以黑云母为主,见晶洞构造;地球化学研究显示,该岩体高硅(SiO₂=76.75%～77.18%)、富碱(Na₂O+K₂O=8.19%～8.62%),贫钙(CaO=0.40%～0.44%)和镁(MgO=0.03%～0.05%);负Eu异常显著(δEu=0.03～0.09), Rb、Th、U、K、Ga元素较富集,而Ba、Sr、P、Ti元素相对亏损,且10 000 Ga/Al(2.72～3.52)、~TFeO/MgO(29.16～57.82)、(Na₂O+K₂O)/CaO(15.08～21.39)值较高...     

渤海海域多期伸展型交汇断层封闭性评价方法

渤海海域新生代经历了复杂的多期伸展运动,导致交汇型断裂系统异常发育。交汇型断层控制的断块圈闭已经被证明是重要的油气聚集区,但是大量的勘探实践表明交汇断层的油气渗漏程度是成藏差异性的主要原因。综合利用钻井资料、三维地震资料和构造物理模拟技术对交汇断层的封闭性进行研究,结果显示：（1）交汇断层发育演化程度控制了交汇点渗漏强度;（2）油气充注—渗漏相对时间控制了交汇断层的有效封闭时间;（3）早期先存断裂的斜向拉伸作用导致的不同走向断层的应力差异影响断层封闭能力。综合利用上述三个影响因素对渤海油田交汇型断层实钻构造的封闭性进行了模糊综合评价,发现封闭值的大小与实钻圈闭的油柱高度具有良好的正相关关系,证实了该评价方法在多期伸展型交汇断层封闭性评价中的有效性。     

鄂尔多斯盆地西南部晚三叠世辉绿岩年代学、地球化学及其构造意义

鄂尔多斯盆地西南部中奥陶统马家沟组灰岩内部发育多条辉绿岩脉。辉绿岩富集高场强元素(HFSE)Nb、Ta、Ti、Zr、Hf等,具有板内拉斑玄武岩的地球化学特征,其地球化学数据显示原始岩浆经历过比较强烈的结晶分异演化。对辉绿岩的锆石进行U-Pb LA-ICP-MS测年获得的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄为750~195 Ma。根据峰值年龄并结合区域地质资料,本文把辉绿岩的形成年龄确定为224 Ma(晚三叠世)。辉绿岩反映鄂尔多斯盆地西南部在晚三叠世处于类似大陆裂谷的伸展构造环境,晚三叠世西邻陇山地区发生的强烈碰撞后伸展作用也可能有助于进一步强化鄂尔多斯盆地西南部的伸展构造环境。当时该地区岩石圈的稳定性相对较弱,为该地区后续的早侏罗世和早白垩世岩浆活动提供了物质基础。晚三叠世及后期的岩浆活动提高了鄂尔多斯盆地西南部的地温梯度并加快了该地区烃源岩的热演化进程,可能对该地区的油气成藏条件造成潜在影响。     

Discovery of the Late Carboniferous alkaline volcanic rocks in the Guyang area,eastern Yinshan Block,and its geological implicationsSCIEI北大核心CSCD

在华北克拉通北缘阴山地块东部固阳地区发现了假白榴石粗面玄武岩和钾质粗面岩两种高钾准铝质碱性火山岩。地质年代学数据显示,假白榴石粗面玄武岩的磷灰石U-Pb年龄为322±14Ma,钾质粗面岩的锆石U-Pb年龄为315.6±7.5Ma,说明其形成时代均为晚石炭世。岩石地球化学特征显示,二者均富Al、Fe,贫Mg;富集大离子亲石元素(如Rb、Ba和K),相对亏损高场强元素(如Ta、Nb和Ti),轻重稀土分异明显,富集轻稀土,相对亏损重稀土,Eu异常不明显;高(87Sr/86Sr)i比值(0.710028~0.714745),低εNd(t)值(-9.0~-17.2),表现出相似的交代岩石圈地幔源区和地壳混染特征。将该碱性火山岩与兴蒙造山带晚石炭世-早二叠世中基性火山岩和阴山地块白垩纪中基性火山岩进行岩石类型对比,发现华北克拉通北缘产出的火山岩多为高钾碱性系列,而兴蒙造山带中产出的火山岩则多为钙碱性系列;与兴蒙造山带晚石炭世-早二叠世中基性火山岩进行岩石成因对比,发现它们的岩浆源区和混染程度并不相同,即固阳地区碱性火山岩为受到早古生代俯冲沉积物交代的岩石圈地幔部分熔融所形成的岩浆在上升过程中混染华北克拉通TTG片麻岩后喷发的产物,而兴蒙造山带中火山岩的产出则多为亏损地幔部分熔融所形成的岩浆在上升过程中轻度混染地壳物质后喷发的结果。在固阳地区发现晚石炭世碱性火山岩,代表着古亚洲洋在该时期的后造山伸展作用范围已延伸至华北克拉通北缘。     

Late Jurassic intraplate extension in southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Evidence from Beidashan mafic rocks in AlxaSCIEI北大核心CSCD

阿拉善地块北缘晚中生代(晚侏罗世-早白垩世)时期发育有广阔的伸展盆地体系,其形成可能与陆内伸展作用有关。本文首次在阿拉善地块西北缘北大山陶来地区识别出一套晚侏罗世镁铁质-超镁铁质岩,对其进行系统的岩石学、年代学和地球化学研究,从而为该地区陆内伸展提供岩浆作用方面的证据。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,北大山陶来地区角闪辉长岩形成时代为155.7±4.6Ma(MSWD=1.5),即晚侏罗世。角闪辉长岩显示出高铝基性岩的地化特征,如低SiO 2(48.0%~52.5%),高Al 2O 3(15.3%~18.2%)、MgO(8.78%~10.6%)和CaO(12.8%~16.7%)。此外,它们还显示出高的Mg#(72~82)、Cr(295×10^(-6)~960×10^(-6))和Ni(97.4×10^(-6)~186×10^(-6)),N-MORB型和平坦的HREE配分形式、Eu正异常,较高的Nb/La比值,这些都表明其可能为软流圈地幔减压熔融产生的原始岩浆与壳幔过渡带中含斜长石堆晶岩相互作用后分离结晶的产物。富铝和富钙源区以及岩浆中高的水含量抑制斜长石早期成核与生长共同控制了高铝角闪辉长岩的形成。辉长岩表现出N-MORB型全岩地球化学特征和板内成因岩浆锆石特征(高Nb/Hf及低Hf/Th、Th/Nb),均揭示了阿拉善西北缘陶来地区晚侏罗世镁铁质-超镁铁质岩体是板内岩石圈伸展作用的产物。在古亚洲洋最终碰撞闭合后伸展基础上,蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋闭合与古太平洋俯冲后撤叠加作用引发了岩石圈伸展,并沿中亚造山带南缘多个古生代缝合带产出了194~124Ma多期镁铁质-超镁铁质岩。
