Changes in the spatial scale of Beijing UHI and urban development

The seasonal and interannual variations of Beijing urban heat island (UHI) are investigated in this paper using the temperature data from 1960 to 2000 at 20 meteorological stations in the Beijing region, and then the relationship between the intensity and spatial scale of UHI and Beijing urbanization indices is analyzed and discussed. Main conclusions are the followings. First, Beijing UHI shows obvious seasonal variations, and it is strongest in winter, next in spring and autumn, and least in summer. The seasonal variation of the UHI mainly occurs in the urban area. The UHI intensity at the center of Beijing is more than 0.8℃ in winter, and only 0.5℃ in summer. Second, the intensity of Beijing HUI exhibits a clear interannual warming trend with its mean growth rate (MGR) being 0.3088℃/10 a. The MGR of HUI is largest in winter, next in spring and autumn, and least in summer, and the urban temperature increase makes a major contribution to the growth of HUI intensity. Third, since the Reform and Opening, the urbanization indices have grown several ten times or even one hundred times, the intensity of HUI has increased dramatically, and its spatial scale also expanded distinctively along with the expansion of urban architectural complexes. Fourth, the interannual variation of urbanization indices is very similar with that of HUI intensity, and their linear correlation coefficients are significant at a more than 0.001 confidence level.     

Environmental variables related to wheat yields in the semiarid pampa region of Argentina

The current paper analyses various environmental parameters in relation to wheat yields in Bordenave, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The variables used are: precipitation (ppt), maximum (Tx) and minimum temperature (Tmi) as well as those obtained by applying the Palmer model. Decadic and phenological scales are used for data corresponding to the period 1977–2000. The stepwise method is used to obtain a multi-variate equation to calculate yield taking into account environmental variables only. For a five variates model the coefficient of determination, R² equals 95.79% and the standard error of estimation is 129.0 kg ha⁻¹. In the sample yields, the incidence of total variability for thermal variables is 42.7% and for hydrological variables, 53%. The value and sign of the correlation coefficients were analysed throughout the cultivation cycle. The α coefficient is mainly responsible for yield variance during tillering and stem elongation. There is good correlation with the values of Palmer's Drought Severity Index (PDSI) for the flowering and grain filling stages.     

燕山中段南麓蓟县北部常州沟-杨庄一带地质构造基本特征

在燕山中段南麓的蓟县北部山区有着中国国家地质公园，中国北方中-新元古代正层型剖面标志碑就耸立在那里。对这一地区基本地质事实和地质体真实位态的研究，不仅关系着对华北地区晚前寒武纪标准剖面可靠性的评价，也关系着燕山运动命名地的基本地壳结构的合理解析和我国北方中生代以来构造一岩浆活动序列的正确建立。本文展示的基础地质调查成果可揭示：蓟县北部常州沟-杨庄一带的地质结构构造远不是我国大多数地学学者们对此描述的那样简单。调查区约200km。面积可代表燕山中段南麓的大面积中-新元古界分布区的基本地质结构构造特征。已识别出的18条断层和由其限制的21个以上构造岩片的现实位态表明，该地区地壳上部是由多个复杂地块堆叠构成的，主体构造形成于燕山晚期，在形成方式上以大规模多次不同方向运移的薄皮构造岩片叠覆为主要特征。     

唐山地区干旱演变特征分析

研究区地处干旱和湿润气候的过渡地带,这一地区导致干旱发生的直接原因是干旱的气候和水资源的短缺,主要就是降水量的偏少.从简单实用角度考虑,本文根据唐山地区1956～2005年的水文和气象资料,采用降水距平、径流系数、她表湿润度指数等指标对唐山地区的干旱演变趋势进行分析,揭示出该地区近50年的干旱演变特征.     

汉南地区晋宁晚期铜-金成矿事件的确认及意义

汉南地区位于扬子克拉通北缘西段。目前,在川、陕两省已在该区发现了数十个矿床(点)。其中,广泛分布的铜-金矿床(点)具有热液型矿化特征,成矿条件有利,具有寻找大-中型矿床的远景。为了查明这些铜-金矿产资源的形成时代,文章运用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb法和单矿物~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar法对汉南地区有代表性的矿床(点)进行了成矿年代学研究。其结果显示,潘坝成矿期热液脉的锆石U-Pb年龄为(744±10)Ma,黑云母和钾长石~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar视年龄介于740 Ma~700 Ma之间。元山寺的成矿期白云母~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar坪年龄为(744±4)Ma,等时线年龄为(748±7)Ma。由于本次测试选择了成矿期矿物,其结果可以代表成矿时代。因此,汉南很可能存在晋宁晚期的铜-金成矿事件。根据区域地质演化历史,笔者认为汉南铜-金矿化(744 Ma)是造山晚期加厚岩石圈下部(山根)拆沉的结果。     

北山-走廊地区中-新生代构造演化及盆地产铀远景评价

北山-走廊地区位于塔里木、华北、哈萨克斯坦、西伯利亚和柴达木等板（地）块的交汇处，中-新生代经历了印支、燕山、四川、华北、喜马拉雅和新构造等构造运动时期，发育了众多中、小型叠合盆地。通过对不同时期构造应力场、沉积响应和变形等特征的分析，归纳了该区中-新生代经历三次挤压隆升、两次伸展断陷的构造演化规律。在此构造背景下发育的沉积盆地可划分为6个演化阶段，充填了不同特征的沉积物。其中，断陷盆地发育时期气候潮湿、物源充足、砂体发育、岩石中含有机质等还原剂，有利于砂岩型铀矿的形成。因此，将中-下侏罗统确定为本区的主要找矿目标层，下白垩统为次要找矿目标层。目标层沉积后构造改造总体较强，晚侏罗世的构造改造北强南弱，晚白垩世以来的构造改造西强东弱、南冲北拗。基于上述认识，认为潮水和巴音戈壁等盆地北缘具有较好的铀成矿远景，值得进一步勘查。     

江苏丰、沛、铜地区高氟地下水成因探讨

通过该区太古界一新生界氟的地层地球化学剖面及岩浆岩和土壤中氟的丰度的研究,论证了该区为一高氟的地球化学区。根据重矿物对比研究和地貌分析,阐明了泰沂隆起区太古界和元古界的高氟古老岩系为该区土壤沉积物源,黄河多次泛滥堆积（粘土矿物对氟的吸附）对土壤氟起了叠加富集的作用。研究揭示该区土壤水溶氟较高,经降水淋滤和浸取作用氟转入地下水,并在凹陷区或河间洼地中聚集,水体停泄、蒸发浓缩形成高氟地下水区。     

STRESS-METAMORPHISM AND ISOTOPIC AGE OF SHEAR ZONE GRANITOID TECTONITES OF IRTYSH SHEAR ZONE (ALTAI REGION)

The Irtysh shear zone (ISZ) of Altai region is the lineament structure of the collision-suture type, where granites of Kalba complex and granodiorites of Zmeinogorsk complex are exposed to regional gneiss-formation and stress-metamorphic alterations. This study is based on detailed structural observations at special grounds using optical and electron microscopy, and on the behavior analysis of isotopic systems from altered granitoids.Within the ISZ area we have established the continuous rows of granitoid stress-metamorphism from initial recrystallization of protolite, its cataclasis and mechanical flaring up to complete recrystallization with alteration of mineral composition and formation of the streaky complexes of granite tectonites of blastomylonite and blastocataclasite types. The directed alteration of rocks has several impulse and is expressed by a change in morphology of mineral grains and their relations, magnification of deformation component in the rock structure, and formation of new mineral phases on the basis of initial ones without surface fluidization. At transformation of isotopic systems from granitoid, their feldspars,biotite and hornblende, we can observe “rejuvenation“ of the rock substrate from 270- 290 Ma for Kalba granitoids to 220-235 Ma for their tectonites, and for Rudny Altai granodiorites, their ages changes from 285-317 Ma to 232-257 Ma for their tectonites.     

新疆萨吾尔地区晚古生代岩浆作用的时限、地球化学特征及地球动力学背景

西准噶尔萨吾尔地区地处新疆阿勒泰地区吉木乃县及塔城地区和丰县。区内广泛发育晚古生代后碰撞岩浆岩，其中侵入岩年龄在328．2～290．7Ma之间，时代上属于晚石炭世至早二叠世，哈尔加乌组、卡拉岗组火山岩年龄在296．7～280Ma之间，为早二叠世火山活动产物。区内侵入岩由早到晚（森塔斯岩体、沃肯萨拉岩体→塔斯特岩体→喀尔交岩体→阔依塔斯岩体、恰其海岩体）具有明显的地球化学演化特征。哈尔加乌组火山岩具有弱双峰式特征，卡拉岗组火山岩具有典型的双峰式特征，均形成于拉张的构造背景。基于萨吾尔地区晚古生代岩浆岩的时间框架、地球化学演化特征及其形成的地球动力学背景，我们认为晚石炭世至早二叠世，萨吾尔地区处于后碰撞构造背景，并逐渐由挤压-拉张过渡阶段演化到拉张阶段。     

华南地块西南缘格林威尔期区域构造解析

从构造变形的角度入手,通过观察华南地块西南缘前震旦纪各岩石单元野外露头上的变形特征,运用构造解析方法,识别出不同期次变形构造的形态和位态特征及其在空间上的组合关系,划分变形构造的世代,结合近年来年代学研究成果,确定不同期次变形构造形成时代。研究表明,在华南地块西缘基底岩石单元中,发育格林威尔期的变形构造,其构造形迹东西向展布,该期构造变形的强度,在康滇地区各岩石单元中具有不均匀性,在野外露头上见到的格林威尔期小型紧闭、倒转褶皱主要分布在攀枝花周边的基底岩石单元中,而其南部的滇中地区,同期的褶皱构造相对较弱。根据格林威尔期构造位态特征,推断形成该期变形构造的构造运动方向为南北向的挤压运动。
