The International Laser Ranging Service and its support for IGGOS

The International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) was established in September 1998 as a service within the IAG to support programs in geodetic, geophysical, and lunar research activities and to provide data products to the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) in support of its prime objectives. Now in operation for 5 years, the ILRS develops: (1) the standards and specifications necessary for product consistency and (2) the priorities and tracking strategies required to maximize network efficiency. The service collects, merges, analyzes, archives and distributes satellite and lunar laser ranging data to satisfy a variety of scientific, engineering, and operational needs and encourages the application of new technologies to enhance the quality, quantity, and cost effectiveness of its data products. The ILRS works with: (1) the global network to improve station performance; (2) new satellite missions in the design and building of retroreflector targets to maximize data quality and quantity and (3) science programs to optimize scientific data yield. The ILRS Central Bureau maintains a comprehensive web site as the primary vehicle for the distribution of information within the ILRS community. The site, which can be accessed at: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov is also available at mirrored sites at the Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) in Tokyo and the European Data Center (EDC) in Munich.During the last 2 years, the ILRS has addressed very important challenges: (1) data from the field stations are now submitted hourly and made available immediately through the data centers for access by the user community; (2) tracking on low satellites has been significantly improved through the sub-daily issue of predictions, drag functions, and the real-time exchange of time biases; (3) analysis products are now submitted in SINEX format for compatibility with the other space geodesy techniques; (4) the Analysis Working Group is heavily engaged in Pilot Projects as it works toward an ILRS “standard” global solution and (5) SLR has significantly increased its participation in the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) activity, which is important to the success of IGGOS.     

Formation of Paleoproterozoic eclogitic mantle, Slave Province (Canada): Insights from in-situ Hf and U–Pb isotopic analyses of mantle zircons

In-situ Hf isotope analyses and U–Pb dates were obtained by laser ablation-MC-ICP-MS for a zircon-bearing mantle eclogite xenolith from the diamondiferous Jericho kimberlite located within the Archean Slave Province (Nunavut), Canada. The U–Pb zircon results yield a wide range of ages (2.0 to 0.8 Ga) indicating a complex geological history. Of importance, one zircon yields a U–Pb upper intercept date of 1989 ± 67 Ma, providing a new minimum age constraint for zircon crystallization and eclogite formation. In contrast, Hf isotope systematics for the same zircons display an intriguing uniformity, and corresponding Hf depleted mantle model ages range between 2.1 ± 0.1 and 2.3 ± 0.1 Ga; the youngest Hf model age is within error to the oldest U–Pb date.

The Jericho eclogites have previously been interpreted as representing remnants of metamorphosed oceanic crust, and their formation related to Paleoproterozoic subduction regimes along the western margin of the Archean Slave craton during the Wopmay orogeny. Hf isotope compositions and U–Pb results for the Jericho zircons reported here are in good agreement with a Paleoproterozoic subduction model, suggesting that generation of oceanic crust and eclogite formation occurred between 2.0 and 2.1 Ga. The slightly older Hf depleted mantle model ages (2.1 to 2.3 Ga) may be reconciled with this model by invoking mixing between ‘crustal’-derived Hf from sediments and more radiogenic Hf associated with the oceanic crust during the 2 Ga subduction event. This results in intermediate Hf isotope compositions for the Jericho zircons that yield ‘fictitiously’ older Hf model ages.     

Applications géodésiques du système DORIS à l'Institut géographique national

IGN is in charge of the installation and maintenance of the DORIS orbit determination network. More recently, in collaboration with JPL, precise geodetic computations were performed. The goal of this paper is to recall the various historic contributions of IGN to the DORIS system in their international context and then to describe a new estimation technique developed for a multi-satellite mode, making full profit of a better modeling for satellites and ground clocks as well as tropospheric correction parameters. Derived geodetic results demonstrate a precision in the order of 1 cm for station positions. To cite this article: P. Willis et al., C. R. Geoscience 337 (2005).     

山东玲珑金矿床成矿流体地球化学特征

玲珑金矿床第一成矿阶段与含金黄铁矿共生的石英中主要发育4种类型的原生流体包裹体:Ⅰ气液两相,Ⅱ含CO2三相,ⅢCO2,Ⅳ单液相包裹体。流体包裹体成分激光拉曼光谱分析及测温结果显示:①Ⅰa型包体,气液比10%~15%,均一温度为162.7~235.6℃,w(NaCl)(盐度)为4.65%~7.59%,气相平均摩尔分数为:H2O 96.48%,CO22.4%;②Ⅰb型包体,气液比30%~45%,均一温度266.9~349.2℃,w(NaCl)为10.8%~13.4%,气相平均摩尔分数为H2O 69.75%,CO224.74%;③Ⅱ型含CO2包体,CO2相所占比例为20%~90%,其均一温度为193.5~321.6℃,w(NaCl)2.9%~5.3%,CO2相中,H2O的摩尔分数为27.72%,CO2为70.6%。包裹体成分分析及测温结果综合研究认为,玲珑金矿成矿过程中存在大气降水热液与地幔来源流体的混合作用,前者与从流体中分离出的富CO2流体混合,以不同比例被捕获形成Ⅱ型包体;而与分异出CO2后的CO2不饱和地幔流体混合,被捕获形成Ⅰb型包体。两种流体混合导致的含矿热液物化条件变化对金的沉淀成矿具有重要意义。     

阿尔泰南缘麦兹盆地萨吾斯铅锌矿床控矿铁闪石矽卡岩的40Ar/39Ar年代学研究

萨吾斯矿床位于麦兹盆地东部,是一个新近发现和勘探的铅锌矿床。萨吾斯铅锌矿床赋存于下泥盆统康布铁堡组上亚组凝灰岩、流纹岩及其沉积碳酸盐夹层,矿（化）体直接受石榴黑云矽卡岩和铁闪石矽卡岩控制,表现出火山喷流-沉积成矿和矽卡岩矿床的双重特征。这两类矿床的重要区别之一是同生和后生成矿。对主要矽卡岩矿物铁闪石进行精确的Ar-Ar年龄测定,将其与康布铁堡组流纹岩的年龄对比,有助于确定萨吾斯铅锌矿床的成因。高精度、高灵敏度激光⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar测年方法,为解决闪石类低K矿物的定年提供了新的手段。岩芯样品SW85中,铁闪石晶粒较大、晶形发育,与闪锌矿、碳酸盐矿物和石榴子石都具有平直的边界,而不是复杂交生,不含矿物和流体包裹体,代表了相对简单均一的系统。对SW85的铁闪石做了激光⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar测年,其结果为412±15Ma,与康布铁堡组流纹岩的SIMS锆石U-Pb年龄（401±2.7Ma）和别斯萨拉玢岩的SIMS锆石U-Pb年龄（401±3.1Ma）在误差范围内一致,表明矽卡岩和铅锌矿的形成与康布铁堡组流纹质火山岩的喷发及其碎屑岩的沉积是同时的,成因上密切相关。其次,矽卡岩呈层状产出,局限于康布铁堡组凝灰岩及其铁锰钙质碳酸盐夹层的范围内;石榴子石为铁铝榴石、锰铝榴石,闪石为铁闪石,缺失透辉石、钙铁辉石。上述特征与接触交代矽卡岩不同,后者以钙铝榴石、钙铁榴石、透辉石/钙铁辉石为特征,闪石为角闪石。接触交代矽卡岩矿床是后成矿床,它晚于岩浆侵入体的围岩。综上所述,萨吾斯铅锌矿是一个与康布铁堡组火山喷发和浅成侵入有关的喷流-沉积矿床。麦兹盆地的控盆断裂巴寨断裂从北西端向南东发展而成。阿巴宫-库尔提断裂和琼库尔断裂是克兰盆地的控盆断裂,它们在北西撒开、向南东收敛,具有羽状张剪性断裂的特征。因此,阿尔泰南缘在早泥盆世具有活动陆缘的局部拉张性质。西伯利亚板块与哈萨克斯坦-准噶尔板块的推错,在阿尔泰南缘产生局部张剪性应力场,从而形成了上述断裂以及早泥盆世火山-沉积盆地。

氮气、氧气和空气水合物的合成及其拉曼光谱特征

在-20℃和不同的压力下,在实验室内分别合成了氮气水合物(16MPa)、氧气水合物(13MPa)和空气水合物(15MPa),并对其N—N和O—O键伸缩振动的拉曼光谱特征进行了研究。结果表明,人工合成的水合物中的N—N和O—O键的拉曼位移与天然的空气水合物中的数据十分接近。在氮气水合物和空气水合物中,N—N键的拉曼峰值均为2322.4cm-1;O—O键的拉曼峰值在氧气水合物和空气水合物保持一致,均为1547.8cm-1。空气水合物分解的拉曼谱图表明,它不是氮气水合物和氧气水合物组成的混合物,而是由氮分子和氧分子共同生成的单一水合物,氮分子和氧分子同时进入水合物的大笼和小笼中。与空气中的氮、氧比例相比,水合物中氧分子明显富集,氮分子和氧分子的比例为2.4∶1。     

白云鄂博碳酸岩脉的显微共聚焦激光拉曼光谱分析

白云鄂博矿区发育的脉状稀土碳酸岩，由于其结晶迅速，矿物颗粒细微，其中的微小矿物的鉴定一直是一个难题。应用显微共聚焦激光拉曼光谱仪则能较好地解决这一问题。研究表明，白云鄂博地区存在富稀土白云质岩浆碳酸岩脉，早期阶段形成碱性长石和铁白云石，无稀土矿化；铁白云石常常出溶铁质而自身则形成方解石。霓石和方解石形成略晚，常常与氟碳铈矿等稀土矿物共生，出现强烈的稀土矿化；而无解理的方解石则形成于更晚的岩浆期后热液阶段，发育大量的流体包裹体，并出现强烈的铌、稀土矿化。铌铁矿分布在氟碳铈矿中和赤铁矿边缘，为热液交代作用的产物。早期结晶的矿物如碱性长石、铁白云石稀土矿化弱，岩浆晚期分异出大量的流体相，稀土元素和Sr等进入岩浆热液中，并在热液结晶矿物中富集，甚至在非平衡结晶的石英中产生强烈的稀土矿化。结合岩相学显微观察，显微拉曼探针很好的揭示了这一地质过程。同时为白云鄂博矿床铌、稀土矿化的热液交代成因提供了依据。     

川东北毛坝气藏含自然硫包裹体的发现及其地质意义

根据流体包裹体显微观察,均一温度、盐度测定和激光拉曼分析结果,毛坝气藏储层中存在多种类型包裹体,包括气液H20包裹体、烃一H20包裹体、气相烃包裹体、沥青包裹体和含自然硫气液H20包裹体。在含自然硫气液H20包裹体中,自然硫的特征激光拉曼峰值是151．1cm^1～、217．9em^1和473．3cm^1。根据包裹体的产状、分布以及组合特征,可将本区下三叠统储层流体包裹体划分为3期。晚成岩期方解石中气液H20包裹体均一温度变化范围为104～206°c,盐度为4．03％～19．29％NaCl。温度和盐度呈一定的负相关关系,反映随着成岩环境的埋藏深度增加,地层中孔隙水的温度趋于升高,同时烃类与流体中SO42发生热化学还原反应（TSR）,生成H2s和H20,使盐度降低。在区域抬升降温、降压期,由于外来流体的不均匀混合,流体温度、盐度进一步降低（均一温度为31～108℃,盐度为0．35％～4．03％NaCl）,在低温及硫主要以H2s形式存在的条件下,02与H2s反应生成大量自然硫。在自然硫形成过程中,随着温度的降低,pH值趋向于升高,lgf（02）趋向于降低。当温度为100℃时,自然硫在pH=2．9～3．4,lgf（02）=-50．61～-49．92的环境中形成;25℃时,自然硫形成于pH=1．9～6．5,lgf（02）=-69．30～-63．11的环境中。
