西南印度洋洋盆演化和岩浆地球化学印迹

西南印度洋中脊（SWIR）平均扩张速率约为14 mm/yr,是全球洋中脊系统的重要组成端元,因其具有慢速-超慢速扩张特征,引起全球科学家的广泛关注。基于前人对SWIR的综合研究成果,从构造和岩浆作用两个角度出发,系统地回顾了SWIR的形成和演化历史,探讨了岩浆的分布特征和地幔不均一性成因。SWIR的形成始于冈瓦纳大陆的裂解,中段洋脊区域（26~42°E）是印度洋最早开启的窗口,历经多次洋脊跃迁和扩展作用形成了斜向扩张展布,多分段的构造格局。地幔热点在冈瓦纳大陆裂解过程中扮演了关键角色,并对SWIR的洋底地貌和岩浆作用具有显著影响,其中Bouvet和 Marion热点在SWIR的西段和中段岩浆均留下了地球化学印迹。SWIR西段岩浆除却Bouvet热点影响之外表现出与大西洋-太平洋型玄武岩相似的同位素地球化学特征。在SWIR中段,39~41°E附近的岩浆具有显著的DUPAL异常特征,与冈瓦纳大陆的初始形成、裂解紧密相关。受俯冲改造的中—新元古代的造山带岩石圈地幔拆沉是造成SWIR中段地幔不均一性的重要根源。在SWIR东段,46~52°E区域内的局部岩浆组成异常,推测具有大陆地壳物质混染的成因。而在Melville转换断层以东,洋脊形成时间最晚,玄武岩的地幔源区受到了富集组分的交代作用,其同位素组成与相邻的中印度洋中脊（CIR）和东南印度洋中脊（SEIR）地幔源区具有亲缘性。     

新疆库鲁克塔格地区早寒武世磷质岩的形成条件

根据地层层序与岩石学特征,对新疆库鲁克塔格地区下寒武统西山布拉克组磷质岩的形成环境,物质来源和形成机理进行了分析。认为本区磷质岩形成于从浪基面附近至氧化界面附近一个较宽泛的环境带中,具有热液和生物两个方面的物质来源。来自火山和生物的含磷物质由上升洋流带至沉积地点经化学沉淀形成磷质岩。而后又经历了水流与波浪的作用,以及重力产生的滑塌事件的改造。西山布拉克组沉积时期经历了三次海平面的升降变化,磷质岩是早期海平面变化的产物。沉积过程发生在高级别的海侵背景之下。     

南海北部陆坡崎岖海底区地震成像:OBS旅行时反演

深水陆坡油气资源丰富,是油气勘探的重要领域.由于陆坡水深变化较大、海底地形崎岖、地质构造复杂,地震成像存在诸多难点,其中,速度模型的建立是最大的难题之一.利用OBS(ocean bottom seismometer)数据上丰富的折射初至信息,采用旅行时反演方法建立崎岖海底区速度模型.OBS数据由广州海洋地质调查局在南海北部陆坡珠江口盆地东部海域采集,数据质量良好,存在大量的初至折射波.地震成像结果表明,在深水崎岖海底区,利用OBS的初至旅行时能够获得地震成像所需要的背景速度场.受限于高频近似的假设,初至旅行时反演结果分辨率较低.全波形反演可以提供精度更高的速度结构,初至旅行时反演结构可用作全波形反演的初始模型.     

新疆达尔布特蛇绿混杂岩带硅质岩地球化学及沉积环境

西准噶尔达尔布特晚古生代硅质岩一般呈薄层状覆盖在蛇绿岩之上,为探讨其物源和沉积环境,对达尔布特多条蛇绿混杂岩剖面中的硅质岩进行了岩相学和地球化学研究,结果表明其要为紫红色和灰白色,主要由微晶自生石英和隐晶组成,可分为生物化学成因硅质岩和有火山凝灰质加入的硅质岩两类,可能部分样品存在二者之间的过渡。前者以高Si、Fe,低Al、Ti等为特征,且稀土总量低,部分样品Ce负异常明显,部分有微弱正异常,微量元素含量也很低;后者一般以高Si、Al、Ti,低Fe等为特征,具酸性火山物质加入趋势。综合认为,该区硅质岩产于边缘洋盆环境而非大洋环境。这与前人关于达尔布特蛇绿岩形成于SSZ构造环境的观点是一致的,具有重要的构造环境指示意义。     

现代大洋铁盐投放实验对古海洋学研究的启示:白垩纪大洋红层产生的背景与机制

白垩纪大洋红层代表典型的深水富氧沉积环境,笔者从现代海洋铁盐投放实验入手,探讨了大洋红层的产生机制,论述了铁元素在白垩纪大洋富氧环境发生过程中的作用。白垩纪剧烈的岩浆活动在海底产生大量的富含铁元素的基性和超基性岩石,在与海水发生反应时,岩石中的铁元素进入海水中。海水中的铁元素是海洋浮游植物宝贵的营养盐类,其含量的增加可激发浮游植物的爆发性繁盛,而这一生命过程可以吸收海水中大量的CO2,并且产生巨量的O2。伴随海水中溶解O2浓度的不断升高,以富含Fe3+的红色沉积物为特征的海洋富氧环境出现。中、晚白垩世大洋红层的产生是一个与火山活动密切相关、同时又涉及沉积学及生物—海洋地球化学作用的复杂过程。

Turbulence and Fossil Turbulence in Oceans and Lakes

Turbulence is defined as an eddy-like state of fluid motion where the inertial-vortex forces of the eddies are larger than any of the other forces that tend to damp the eddies out. Energy cascades of irrotational flows from large scales to small are non-turbulent, even if they supply energy to turbulence. Turbulent flows are rotational and cascade from small scales to large, with feedback. Viscous forces limit the smallest turbulent eddy size to the Kolmogorov scale. In stratified fluids, buoyancy forces limit large vertical overturns to the Ozmidov scale and convert the largest turbulent eddies into a unique class of saturated, non-propagating, internal waves, termed fossil-vorticity-turbulence. These waves have the same energy but different properties and spectral forms than the original turbulence patch. The Gibson (1980, 1986) theory of fossil turbulence applies universal similarity theories of turbulence and turbulent mixing to the vertical evolution of an isolated patch of turbulence in a stratified fluid as its growth is constrained and fossilized by buoyancy forces. Quantitative hydrodynamic-phase-diagrams (HPDs) from the theory are used to classify microstructure patches according to their hydrodynamic states. When analyzed in HPD space, previously published oceanic datasets showed their dominant microstructure patches are fossilized at large scales in all layers. Laboratory and field measurements suggested phytoplankton species with different swimming abilities adjust their growth strategies by pattern recognition of tur-bulence-fossil-turbulence dissipation and persistence times that predict survival-relevant surface layer sea changes. New data collected near a Honolulu waste-water outfall showed the small-to-large evolution of oceanic turbulence microstructure from active to fossil states, and revealed the ability of fossil-density-turbulence patches to absorb, and vertically radiate, internal wave energy, information, and enhanced turbulent-mixing-rates toward the sea surface so that the submerged waste-field could be detected from a space satellite (Bondur and Filatov, 2003).     

Future Benefits of Time-Varying Gravity Missions to Ocean Circulation Studies

A summary is offered of the potential benefits of future measurements of temporal variations in gravity for the understanding of ocean dynamics. Two types of process, and corresponding amplitudes are discussed: ocean basin scale pressure changes, with a corresponding amplitude of order 1 cm of water, or 1 mm of geoid height, and changes in along-slope pressure gradient, at cross-slope length scales corresponding to topographic slopes, with a corresponding amplitude of order 1 mm of water, or a maximum of about 0.01 mm of geoid. The former is feasible with current technology and would provide unprecedented information about abyssal ocean dynamics associated with heat transport and climate. The latter would be a considerable challenge to any foreseeable technology, but would provide an exceptionally clear, quantitative window on the dynamics of abyssal ocean currents, and strong constraints on ocean models. Both options would be limited by the aliassing effect of rapid mass movements in the earth system, and it is recommended that any future mission take this error source explicitly into account at the design stage. For basin-scale oceanography this might involve a higher orbit than GRACE or GOCE, and the advantages of exact-repeat orbits and multiple missions should be considered.     

不同海潮模型对中国大陆构造环境监测网络GNSS数据解算的影响

选取2018年中国大陆构造环境监测网络GNSS基准站及中国周边IGS站数据,基于CSR4、FES2004、GOT00、NAO99b等海潮负荷改正模型,采用单一变量的解算方式,分析不同海潮模型对我国GNSS基准站基线、三维坐标、时间序列等造成的影响。结果表明：利用不同海潮模型解算基线精度,水平方向相差不大于1 mm,垂向相差不大于3 mm;各测站NEU坐标精度均在毫米级以下,以耿马站时间序列为例,与其他模型相比,基于FES2004模型解算的各向偏差趋势波动较弱,其年序列图的精度及连续性、稳定性更佳。简言之,利用FES2004海潮模型解算GNSS站点位置,效果较好。
