“武北一井”喜获工业油气流——“平北”将成为东海第二个可供开发的油气区

据1994年7月4日《中国地质矿产报》报道：我国东海自营海区的油气勘探传来喜讯。日前，由地矿部上海海洋地质调查局“勘探三号”石油钻井平台钻探的东海“武北一井”获得工业油气流。这一情况表明，东海平北海区将成为东海第二个可供开发的油气区。     

Elemental geochemical records of seafloor hydrothermal activities in the sediments from the Okinawa Trough

The major and minor element contents in the sediment core H9 from the hydrothermal fields of the Okinawa Trough show a sharp change at the depth of 80 cm. The elements enriched in the upper 80 cm core are those enriched in the hydrothermal deposits and in the surface sediments recovered from the hydrothermal fields in the trough, which indicates the input of hydrothermal materials. Comparing with other hydrothermal sediments from Mid-ocean Ridges or the Lau Basin, the degree of the enrichment of elements iron, copper,cobalt, and nickel is relatively low. However, the enrichment of elements manganese, lead, arsenic, antimony and mercury is remarkable. The average contents of these elements in the upper 80 cm core sediments are three to six times those in the lower section, and 3~12 times those in the surface sediments which are not influenced by hydrothermal activities. Hydrothermal activities have contributed significant manganese, lead, arsenic, antimony and mercury to the sediments, and these elements are distinct indicators for the hydrothermal activity in the Okinawa Trough. The significant enrichment of these elements in Core H9 upward from the depth 80 cm indicates the start or the significant enhancing of the hydrothermal activity in this area at about 5 740 aB.P. The average accumulation rate of manganese during this period is about 40 461 μg/(cm2·ka), which is similar to the hydrothermal sediments in the Lau Basin or the East Pacific Rise.     

南极生物热耐受性:热极限的进化和适应性调节

温室效应和全球气候变化已经影响到南、北极地区,极地气温升高对于极地生物链的基础部分产生巨大影响.南极生物链中的关键初级生产力是微藻,南极冰藻是极好的生态指示种.南极冰藻在高于生长适宜温度下生长受到抑制,抵抗高温胁迫的机制和能力制约着南极冰藻的生存,南极冰藻生存威胁到极地生态的生物多样性和极地生物链的完整性.持续低温环境进化过程对极端适冷微藻热适应机理的影响是理解极地气候变化对南极冰藻生态影响的依据.     

海洋藻类--对付全球变暖的武器?

最近,由欧盟(则资助的研究项目(Parforce)研究人员发现了海洋藻类与气候变化之间的联系。项目研究人员发现,从海洋藻类及浮游生物释放的碘蒸汽,在海面上浓缩,形成对抗地球变暖的悬浮微粒。此悬浮微粒对地球气候变化及降     

ENSO与热带西北太平洋海洋上层热含量及副热带高压变异的关系

本文使用谱分析法,分析了ENSO与热带西北太平洋海洋上层热含量和副热带高压的多年变化及其相互关系。文中以南方涛动指数(SOI)距平表征ENSO,以海面至100m水层的平均温度(Tav)代表上层热含量,以Tav>27℃网格数(HC)的季距平代表热含量的变化,以西太平洋副热带高压的面积指数(ST)表示其多年变化。分析结果表明,这三个时间序列的持续性良好,它们有相似的自振韵律和一个共同的谱峰,主要振荡周期均为3～4a。交叉谱分析表明,在这一振荡周期上,这些时间序列有较高的凝聚,且SOI和HC同相,而HC和ST反相变化,即SOI为负距平时,HC也为负距平,而ST为正距平,SOI先于HC两个月,而HC先于ST6个月左右。     

鄂尔多斯盆地黄陵、东胜地区地温场对比

鄂尔多斯盆地黄陵、东胜铀矿区分别处于盆地南部渭北隆起的北侧边缘和盆地北部伊盟隆起的东部,赋矿层位都是中侏罗统直罗组。盆地南、北铀矿区在现今地温场及古地温场都存在明显差异,南部现今大地热值及热演化程度明显高于北部。对于下侏罗统延安组和石炭—二叠系煤层,黄陵地区镜质体反射率都高于东胜地区。通过镜质体反射率资料得出同一埋深的一套地层经历的最大古地温和对应的古地温梯度也有南部高于北部的现象。由于早白垩世后期盆地普遍整体抬升使得现今地温相对古地温降低,南部黄陵地区抬升剥蚀量大于北部东胜地区,导致古、今地温差异也大于后者。盆地南部庆阳—富县一带局部构造热运动,导致南部异常地温场的形成,使得南部热演化程度高于北部。
