Analysis of Water Resources Carrying Capacity of the “Belt and Road” Initiative Countries based on Virtual Water Theory

Most countries along the route of the “Belt and Road” initiative are faced with a shortage of water resources. However, successful implementation of the initiative depends on water availability to support economic and social development. We designed a water resources carrying capacity evaluation index system, assigned grades and weights to each evaluation index and calculated a water resources carrying index for the 65 countries along the route. We used virtual water theory to analyze China’s net virtual water import from key bulk agricultural products through international trade. For more than half of the countries along the route, their water resources will be unable to support the economic development that will be necessary for fulfilling the goals of the Initiative. As a country with insufficient water resources carrying capacity, China is a net virtual water importer in the virtual water trade. This virtual water trade can improve China’s water resources support capacity, and ensure China’s water and food security for the future.     

荒漠生态质量科学框架:概念、指标、监测及评估（英文）

荒漠生态系统是地球上最大的陆地生态系统,全球四分之一的人口生活在这一区域。清晰地定义荒漠生态系统生态质量,制定反映生态质量优劣的关键监测指标,集成"星–空–地"一体化监测技术、构建综合评价模型可为干旱区生态质量监测、促进区域可持续发展提供技术支撑。荒漠生态质量是指一定时空范围内荒漠生态系统要素、结构和功能的综合特征。该研究通过集成卫星、无人机和地面传感器网络的"星–空–地"一体化监测技术,在区域和站点两个尺度上对荒漠生态系统的生态要素、生物多样性和生态功能进行连续监测,通过标准化生态质量指标数值、厘定其阈值范围,构造判断矩阵建立生态质量综合评价模型,评价荒漠生态系统质量状况。本论文阐明了构建荒漠生态质量动态综合监测技术规范与评价方法的概念框架,为实现我国荒漠生态系统生态质量综合监测、科学诊断和定量评估提供理论基础。     

Formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch: a Discussion Paper by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice‐core,marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (International Commission on Stratigraphy)

This discussion paper, by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice‐core, marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommision on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS) of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), considers the prospects for a formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch. Although previous attempts to subdivide the Holocene have proved inconclusive, recent developments in Quaternary stratigraphy, notably the definition of the Pleistocene–Holocene boundary and the emergence of formal subdivisions of the Pleistocene Series/Epoch, mean that it may be timely to revisit this matter. The Quaternary literature reveals a widespread but variable informal usage of a tripartite division of the Holocene (‘early’, ‘middle’ or ‘mid’, and ‘late’), and we argue that this de facto subdivision should now be formalized to ensure consistency in stratigraphic terminology. We propose an Early–Middle Holocene Boundary at 8200 a BP and a Middle–Late Holocene Boundary at 4200 a BP, each of which is linked to a Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP). Should the proposal find a broad measure of support from the Quaternary community, a submission will be made to the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), via the SQS and the ICS, for formal ratification of this subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch.

安徽池州杨北寨铜矿与铜山铜矿等矿床的比较研究

杨北寨铜矿、施村金矿位于湖区,可利用的工作方法手段有限,找矿难度大。通过将以往所取得的两矿区片段地质资料的结合,在区域地质背景分析和与相邻的铜山铜矿成矿地质条件对比研究的基础上,明确找矿思路,进行预测定位,并经有效可行的物探方法再对比论证,优化设计方案。施工首孔于相应的设计部位打穿五通组顶板,各预测主要见矿部位均见矿体;其后的验证又获得很多重要发现:深部发现花岗闪长斑岩岩体、斑岩型钼矿化及赋存于不同部位的铜多金属矿化。经再次与相邻矿集区铜陵狮子山等矿田对比研究,认为杨北寨矿区具"多位一体"矿化特征,找矿潜力大,提出新的找矿思路,进行了新的预测定位;同时对池州其他地区的找矿也提出设想。

利用美国国家和海洋大气管理局(NOAA)的大气温度数据, 分析陆地地震和海洋地震震前震中上空的大气温度变化, 研究其作为地震短临前兆的可能性.地震样本包括2014年2月12日于田M_s7.3地震、2008年5月12日汶川M_s8.0地震、2011年3月11日日本M_s9.0地震、2014年4月1日智利M_s8.1海洋地震、2013年3月27日台湾南投县M_s6.1地震和2014年5月30日云南盈江M_s6.1地震.结果表明: (1)震前, 震中位置300~1 000 hPa大气温度有较为一致的变化趋势; (2)200 hPa与400 hPa处(根据不同地点可选择其他, 诸如350 hPa、300 hPa等高度数据)温度折线图在震前趋近或者相交, 出现类似蝴蝶翅膀的"蝴蝶形"特殊曲线形状; (3)200 hPa与400 hPa温度差等值线图在(震前数月、数周或数天不等)震中附近区域的数值减小, 温度差等值线图的塌陷最低点对应震中位置.以上规律有望应用于地震短临预测的时间与震中的确定.      

2021年滦州MS4.3地震和2015年昌黎MS4.2地震震源参数及构造意义研究

基于京津冀地震台网观测资料,利用CAP方法反演滦州M_S4.3地震、昌黎M_S4.2地震及其M_S3.3余震的震源机制,并利用近震深度震相获得更为准确的震源深度,结合双差定位法获得2个地震序列的震源分布结果,对发震构造及成因关联开展分析研究。结果显示：1）滦州M_S4.3地震的节面Ⅰ走向、倾角、滑动角分别为211°、85°、168°,节面Ⅱ分别为302°、78°、5°,震源错动类型为走滑型,震源深度为8 km,地震序列的震源分布呈NNE向,短轴剖面显示断层面倾角近垂直,认为其发震断层面为节面Ⅰ;昌黎M_S4.2地震及M_S3.3余震的节面Ⅰ分别为189°、68°、161°及190°、61°、170°,节面Ⅱ分别为286°、72°、23°及285°、81°、29°,震源错动类型同为走滑型,震源深度为10.5 km,地震序列的震源分布呈NNE向,短轴剖面显示断层面倾角近垂直,认为其发震断层面为节面Ⅰ;2）基于滦州M_S4.3地震、昌黎M_S4.2地震及滦州M_S7.1地震的震源参数结果,结合区域地质构造等资料分析认为,3次地震的发震构造不是上地壳先存断裂,而可能与震源区的深部构造背景密切相关,即壳内包体现象是孕育这些地震的共同基础。     

2019年河南淅川ML 4.2地震震源深度测定

采用震源深度测定的确定性方法（PTD）和震源机制CAP反演法,对2019年11月30日河南淅川丹江口水库发生的M_L 4.2地震进行分析,重新计算了此次地震的震源深度。结果表明,2种方法所得到的震源深度基本一致,均约为7.0 km,与中国地震台网中心统一编目结果（7.1 km）相差不大,此结果可能表明地震监测台网相对较好的情况下,用不同方法测得的震源深度相差不大。     

Organic matter preservation in the carbonate matrix of a recent microbial mat – Is there a ‘mat seal effect’?

Phototrophic mats (microbial mats with a phototrophic top layer) are complex systems in terms of microbial diversity, biogeochemical cycles and organic matter (OM) turnover. It has been proposed that these mats were a predominant life form in Proterozoic shallow water settings, prior to the emergence of bioturbating organisms in the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition. For most of the Precambrian, microbial mats were not only quantitative important carbon fixing systems, but also influenced the transfer and transformation of OM before it entered the geosphere. The profound alteration of compound inventories during transit through microbial mats, implying substantial consequences for OM preservation in the Proterozoic, was recently proposed as a “mat-seal effect” [Pawlowska et al. (2012) Geology 41, 103–106]. To obtain a better understanding of the early diagenetic fate of primary produced OM in microbial mats, we studied a recent calcifying mat from a hypersaline lake in Kiritimati, which showed in the deeper mat layers a maximum ¹⁴C_carbonate age of ∼1500 years. We particularly focused on OM entrapped in the carbonate matrix, because of the better potential of such biomineral-encapsulated OM to reach the geosphere before degradation (and remineralization). Our data indicate that selective preservation is important in phototrophic mats. While a diagenetic transformation of lipid fatty acids (FAs) was evident, their fatty acyl-derived hydrocarbon moieties were not introduced into protokerogen, which was instead mainly comprised of cyanobacterial and/or algal biomacromolecules. Our data support the proposed major impact of the “mat-seal effect” on OM turnover and preservation; i.e. the suppression of biosignatures derived from the upper mat layers, while signals of heterotrophic microbes thriving in deeper mat layers become preferentially preserved (e.g. high hopane/sterane ratios). This mechanism may have broad consequences for the interpretation of biomarkers from Proterozoic shelf environments, because biosignatures of phototrophic mat dwellers as well as planktonic signals may have become heavily biased by the production and turnover of OM in microbial mat systems.
