Mantle processes during ocean formation：Petrologic records in peridotites from the Alpine－Apennine ophiolites

Mantle peridotites were early exposed at the sea-floor of the Jurassic Tethys derived from the subcontinental mantle of the Europe-Adria system. During continental rifting and oceanic spreading, these lithospheric peri-dotites were percolated via diffuse reactive porous flowby melt fractions produced by near-fractional melting of the upwelling asthenosphere. Ascending melts inter-acted with the lower lithosphere, dissolving pyroxenes and precipitating olivine, and crystallized at shallower levels in the mantle column causing melt impregnation.Subsequent focused porous flow formed replacive dunitechannels, cutting the impregnated oeridotites, which were conduits for upward migration of MORB-type liq-uids. Melt migration produced depletionlrefertilization and significant heating of the percolatedlimpregnated mantle, i.e the thermochemical erosion of the litho-sphere. Impregnated and thermally modified lithos-pheric mantle was cooled by conductive heat loss dur-ing progressive lithosphere thinning and was intrudeaby MORB magmas, which formed Mg-rich and Fe-richgabbroic dykes and bodies. Alpine-Apennine ophiolitic peridotites record the deep-seated migration of melts which changed their compositions and dynamics during the rift evolution. The thermochemical erosion of the lithospheric mantle by the ascending asthenospheric melts, which induces significant compositional and rhe-ological changes in the lower lithosphere, is a major process in the evolution of the continent-ocean transi-tion towards a slow spreading oceanic system.     

矿床地球化学模型的建立及其找矿效果探讨—以团结沟金矿为例

当今矿床学研究中的热点问题之一是矿床模型研究。矿床建模的理论与方法，矿床模型的定量化是目前矿床模型研究中亟待解决和完善的问题。从典型矿床入手，首先建立易于实现定理化的矿床地球化学模型，将有助于打破矿床模型研究的僵局。团结沟金矿床地球化学模型的建立是一个初步尝试。矿床地球化学模型能迅速转化为找矿模型，为找矿预测提供简捷有效的途径。     

赤潮

严格来讲,赤潮是一种自然现象。《圣经》中记载的河水变红、《聊斋志异》里提到的河水发光,或许是民间对赤潮类事件最古朴也最形象的记录。1831～1836年达尔文乘“Beagle”号环球航行时也对赤潮做过相关记录,虽然那时尚无人提出明确的“赤潮”概念。近几十年来由于对人类的娱乐及生产活动影响越来越严重,频繁发生的赤潮逐渐被界定为环境污染及海洋灾害的一种。河里的水都变作血了。河里的鱼死了,河也腥臭了,埃及人就不能吃这河里的水,埃及遍地都有了血。——《旧约·出埃及记》众坐舟中,旋见青火如灯状,突出水面,随水浮游;渐近舡,则火顿灭…     

桂林海洋世界的“父亲们”

如同在浩瀚的大海里，桂林海洋世界里也聚集了许许多多、形形色邑的“爸爸”。     

诗意的海洋学——记现代海洋科学创始人马修·莫里

马修·莫里(MatthewF.Maury,1806-1873),美国海军军官,海洋学创始人之一。他的《海洋自然地理》出版于1855年,至今已有150年的历史,是现代海洋科学最早的教科书,并成为世界科学出版物的一个里程碑。莫里从一名普通的海员成为一名海洋科学家,曾写下许多有关海洋科学的著作,《海洋自然地理》是他一生的巅峰之作。     

美芙的歌谣

昨天读到一句话，说哲学是对认知的抽象，音乐是对感受的抽象，哲学和音乐是矛盾统一的共同体，仔细琢磨，觉得颇有些道理。记得十一国庆长假，我和几个同事坐在宿舍的地板上闲聊，大家都是热爱生活，踌躇满志的年轻人，做的又都是同一份海洋事业，话
