Dissolved organic nitrogen dynamics in the North Sea: A time series analysis (1995–2005)

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) dynamics in the North Sea was explored by means of long-term time series of nitrogen parameters from the Dutch national monitoring program. Generally, the data quality was good with little missing data points. Different imputation methods were used to verify the robustness of the patterns against these missing data. No long-term trends in DON concentrations were found over the sampling period (1995–2005). Inter-annual variability in the different time series showed both common and station-specific behavior. The stations could be divided into two regions, based on absolute concentrations and the dominant times scales of variability. Average DON concentrations were 11 μmol l⁻¹ in the coastal region and 5 μmol l⁻¹ in the open sea. Organic fractions of total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) averaged 38 and 71% in the coastal zone and open sea, respectively, but increased over time due to decreasing dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentrations. In both regions intra-annual variability dominated over inter-annual variability, but DON variation in the open sea was markedly shifted towards shorter time scales relative to coastal stations. In the coastal zone a consistent seasonal DON cycle existed with high values in spring–summer and low values in autumn–winter. In the open sea seasonality was weak. A marked shift in the seasonality was found at the Dogger Bank, with DON accumulation towards summer and low values in winter prior to 1999, and accumulation in spring and decline throughout summer after 1999. This study clearly shows that DON is a dynamic actor in the North Sea and should be monitored systematically to enable us to understand fully the functioning of this ecosystem.     

阿尔金断裂花海段新生代变形特征及时间

在地表地质调查并结合钻井资料分析的基础上,主要通过地震剖面的精细地质解释,对阿尔金断裂东段的构造变形特征进行了系统分析。认为阿尔金断裂经阿克塞至肃北向北东东方向延伸,既没有止于玉门市西北的宽台山,也没有延伸至金塔盆地,而是止于其间的花海盆地花探7井东侧。阿尔金断裂花海段的变形时间主要为渐新世晚期、上新世末期和晚更新世末,以后者最为强烈。与红柳峡段的对比说明变形强度自西向东逐渐减弱,变形方式主要为走滑兼逆冲,主要构造样式为半花状构造,并派生有一系列向南西西方向收敛的弧形断裂。     

云母石英片岩的三轴蠕变试验研究

在三轴蠕变试验的基础上,通过对径向蠕变和轴向蠕变的比较研究,得出云母石英片岩的蠕变变形和长期强度特点:径向蠕变变形比轴向蠕变变形敏感,以径向蠕变长期强度作为长期强度更合理;围压越大,对径向变形的约束能力越强,径向蠕变长期强度和轴向蠕变长期强度均增加,径向蠕变长期强度与轴向蠕变长期强度的比值减小。同时指出进行径向蠕变研究的意义。     

黄土路堑边坡变形破坏机理的三轴试验研究

通过原状黄土的减压三轴压缩试验,研究了黄土边坡不同深度不同含水量土体的应力-应变关系,并与原状黄土的常规三轴试验结果进行了比较,发现减压三轴试验能合理地模拟和解释开挖卸荷作用下黄土边坡土体的变形与破坏过程。试验结果表明:坡脚开挖卸荷时,黄土边坡中浅层非饱和黄土易出现应变软化或塑性流动,强度较低,易产生较大变形,而深层饱和黄土仅在高围压下发生应变硬化,强度增加,在中低围压时均发生应变软化现象。分析认为黄土边坡特殊的工程地质条件,使得黄土边坡的特定部位在开挖卸荷作用下常形成了不利于土体稳定的含水量和围压组合,导致坡体特定部位的土体变形破坏,进而诱发边坡的变形破坏;开挖卸荷作用下黄土边坡变形破坏的力学机制应为蠕滑-压致拉裂或牵引式滑坡。     

骊山山前断裂第四纪活动性的研究

骊山山前断裂是发育于骊山凸起北侧的一条近东西走向并向北倾斜的正断层。断裂形变遗迹,地貌标志、新生代沉积物的厚度变化特征表明,该断裂第四纪晚期以来,在区域构造引张应力场的控制下,一直作掀斜式的倾向拉张运动。在长期的形变过程中表现了蠕滑和粘滑两种活动方式。现在仍在以蠕动的方式运动着。     

不连续岩体变形破坏过程中AE的空间演化与意义

通过一些典型节理化岩体模型变形破坏过程中的AE事件的定位分析和破裂面形态的研究,探讨了不连续岩体变形破坏过程的空间演化特征。结果表明:单节理岩体变形破坏的空间动态特征受节理角控制,随着节理角从小变大,岩体的变形破坏方式从AE在局部集中的突发式失稳向AE弥漫于整个节理层面的类似渐进式的破坏形式发展；失稳破裂面从简单的整体状岩-膏界面变成形态复杂的层内复合破裂面；复杂节理岩体的变形破坏受一条（组）主导构造控制,强AE事件集中发生在不连续构造交汇部位,在包含多条主构造的岩体模型中最终失稳破裂面只与最后阶段AE的位置一致。     

The Ground Deformation Disaster in the City of Tianjin Associated with the Tangshan Earthquake

In this paper,a study of the principal characteristics of the ground deformation disasters in the city of Tianjin caused by the Tangshan earthquake is based on the results from the recent remeasurements of the geodetic controlling network of Tianjin and from on-site investigations after the earthquake.These results show that only the ground deformation in the Ninghe and Hangu areas near the epicenter reflect directly the co-seismic crustal stress,while the serious ground deformation and the engineering earthquake damages in the urban districts of Tianjin are controlled to a great extent by the local engineering geological structures,showing a kind of secondary disaster.Several suggestions are also proposed in the paper concerning the counter-measures for reducing the earthquake damage in big cities.     

柯坪6.5级地震的部分前兆异常及预报

1991年2月25日柯坪6.5级地震前,震中附近地区的土层地应力、金属摆倾斜仪等多项前兆观测出现异常变化,说明强震发生前近场灵敏度较低的简陋仪器也能观测到明显的前兆反应。分析、认识这些异常对地震短临预报的决策是有益的。
