Three-dimensional structure of the crust and upper mantle beneath the south China area from long period surface waves

In the present study the long period surface wave records of 238 wave-paths from 79 earthquakes within China and its adjacent regions received by 30 seismic network stations are measured by using the improved match-filtering frequency-time analysis technique and the grid dispersion inversion method to obtain the rayleigh pure-path dispersion values for 147 slant grids of 4° × 4° in this area, then a three-dimensional shear wave velocity model of the crust and upper mantle beneath south China area to a depth of 170 km is inversed. It is found that there are obvious differences among the main structural units, and there are also certain differences among the subordinate elements even in the individual unit. The crustal thickness of this area is ranging from 30 to 43 km, and is getting thicker gradually from the east to the west. The average shear velocity of crust is ranging form 3.48 to 3.68 km/s with the lowest in the northeast part and highest in the west part. No obvious crustal low velocity layer of large scale is detected. There exist upper mantle low velocity zones in the most of south China area with the starting depth ranging from 75 to 106 km. The lowest shear velocity within the low velocity zones is about 4.28–4.38 km/s. Despite of the existing of upper mantle low velocity zones beneath the most of south China area, the interfaces between the important layers are quite clear, the variation of the bedding surfaces is very gentle, and the lateral changes measured in a larger scale of the underground structure are rather small. It may indicate that the crustal and upper mantle structure of the main part of south China area belongs to the relatively stable structure of the continental blocks except for the fringe areas such as the fold-faulted region in the west part and the fault system along the southeastern coast which may belong to the tectonically active area.

Lateral heterogeneities in the upper and mid-mantle conductivity in Argentina

Regional studies of Sq variations measured at five permanent observatories in Argentina were performed to estimate the distribution of the electrical conductivity of the upper and mid-mantle, reaching a depth of approximately 800 km. After separating the total field into its parts of external and internal origin, the in duced field was modeled, applying two-dimensional techniques. Additionally, induction arrows and an equivalent apparent resistivity curve were calculated A north-south heterogeneity was detected, showing an increase of the conductivity of the shallower layers north of the profile, which may be related to the presence of high volcanic activity in the area.Also at CONICET (Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas).

鲁甸乐马厂银矿床地质特征与成矿作用初探

乐马厂银矿为地矿部“八五”重点普查项目,普查找矿取得了突破性进展,矿床达大型规模。该矿床类型独特,为国内、外少见的独立银矿床,因此对矿床地质特征和矿床赋存规律进行了较深入研究,取得了新的认识。文章在乐马厂银矿床地质背景基础上,着重研究了该矿床的地质特征及成矿地质作用,并论述了其为产于叠瓦状逆冲－推覆断裂破碎蚀变带中的独立银矿床,其矿化作用过程经历了古构造－沉积（矿源层形成）和构造－热液（充填交代富集）两个阶段,构造活动控制了银矿化作用和银矿体的最终定位。这对在滇东北地区寻找此类银、铅锌矿床具有指导意义。

淄博煤矿矿坑排水对地表水体的污染及对地下水水质影响的研究

以山东淄博煤田富硫煤（w（St＞2％）煤矿作为典型研究区,阐述了由于直接排放酸性、高SO4离子、高硬度和较高矿化度（TDS）的矿坑水导致的地表水体及地下水的污染。研究区内地表水体的水质主要受控于矿坑排水的质量,区内主要河流、水库已被污染。引用这种受污染的地表水进行灌溉,会引起浅层地下水的严重污染,并影响到饮用此类地下水的人们的身体健康。为揭示污水灌溉过程中水-岩相互作用及地下水污染的机理,进行了现场土柱模拟实验,分别模拟了污水灌溉和降水入渗过程。实验结果表明,污水灌溉过程中SO4-不会被吸附,也不会产生沉淀,因此,污水灌溉是污灌区地下水受污染的主要原因。降水入渗实验表明,污灌区土壤中的SO4-,Ca2+和Mg2+,也可以通过降水淋滤进入地下水,这是污灌区地下水受污染的另一条途径。就对水环境的影响而言,酸性煤矿矿坑排水的环境效应是负面的,应予以高度重视。     

Groundwater storage change detection from in situ and GRACE-based estimates in major river basins across India

ABSTRACT

India has been the subject of many recent groundwater studies due to the rapid depletion of groundwater in large parts of the country. However, few if any of these studies have examined groundwater storage conditions in all of India’s river basins individually. Herein we assess groundwater storage changes in all 22 of India’s major river basins using in situ data from 3420 observation locations for the period 2003–2014. One-month and 12-month standardized precipitation index measures (SPI-1 and SPI-12) indicate fluctuations in the long-term pattern. The Ganges and Brahmaputra basins experienced long-term decreasing trends in precipitation in both 1961–2014 and the study period, 2003–2014. Indeterminate or increasing precipitation trends occurred in other basins. Satellite-based and in situ groundwater storage time series exhibited similar patterns, with increases in most of the basins. However, diminishing groundwater storage (at rates of >0.4 km³/year) was revealed in the Ganges-Brahmaputra River Basin based on in situ observations, which is particularly important due to its agricultural productivity.     

Drought assessment in a south Mediterranean transboundary catchment

ABSTRACT

Predicting the impacts of climate change on water resources remains a challenging task and requires a good understanding of the dynamics of the forcing terms in the past. In this study, the variability of precipitation and drought patterns is studied over the Mediterranean catchment of the Medjerda in Tunisia based on an observed rainfall dataset collected at 41 raingauges during the period 1973–2012. The standardized precipitation index and the aridity index were used to characterize drought variability. Multivariate and geostatistical techniques were further employed to identify the spatial variability of annual rainfall. The results show that the Medjerda is marked by a significant spatio-temporal variability of drought, with varying extreme wet and dry events. Four regions with distinct rainfall regimes are identified by utilizing the K-means cluster analysis. A principal component analysis identifies the variables that are responsible for the relationships between precipitation and drought variability.     

洱源FD-105K与FD-125测氡仪对比观测分析

选取2015—2019年洱源水化站FD-105K与FD-125测氡仪对比观测资料,采用一阶差分、F检验、t检验等方法进行对比分析,结果显示:FD-125测氡仪测值总体偏低,且测量精度较低,数据离散程度较高;2套观测数据变化趋势一致性不理想,相关性较低,未通过F检验和t检验。综合分析认为,FD-125测氡仪暂时不能替代FD-105K测氡仪进行观测,需要增加震例对2套仪器的映震效能进行验证。
