秦岭北缘断裂带温泉水循环深度与地震活动性的关系研究

研究了秦岭北缘断裂带温泉水的氢氧同位素和氦同位素,同时通过温泉水的热储温度和当地地温梯度计算了温泉水的循环深度;统计分析了1900-1997年间的地震频度.从水对断裂及其围岩的弱化的角度讨论了温泉水深循环对地震活动性的影响.结果表明各段地震活动性的差异与温泉水循环深度的差异有关.认为循环深度较深的陕西段孕育强震的可能性较小,而循环深度较浅的青海段和甘肃段是孕育强震的危险区,其中甘肃段可能是强震的最危险区.     

The seasonal variability of the northern Benguela undercurrent and its relation to the oxygen budget on the shelf

The seasonal variations in the advection and mixing of water masses in the northern Benguela were studied in relation to the oxygen minimum zone over the Namibian shelf. The used data set consists of hydrographic and current measurements from an oceanographic mooring 20 nm off Walvis Bay, monthly CTD transects from the Namibian 23°S monitoring line and recent large-scale hydrographic surveys. The current time series showed an intermittent southward continuation of the Angola Current (AC) through the Angola–Benguela frontal zone (ABFZ) into the northern Benguela, commonly known as poleward undercurrent. In austral summer hypoxic, nutrient rich South Atlantic central water (SACW) from the Angola Gyre is transported into the northern Benguela, whereas during the winter season the oxygen rich Eastern SACW (ESACW) spreads northward. The water mass analysis reveals a mixing between both water masses in the northern Benguela between the ABFZ and the Lüderitz upwelling cell (27°S). The oxygen balance over the Namibian shelf depends to a high extent on the water mass composition of the upper central water layer, controlled by the large scale and local circulation. The deviation of the measured oxygen concentration from its mixing concentration, calculated with the source water mass properties, was used to quantify the oxygen consumption. A new local definition SACW was derived to exclude biogeochemical processes, taking place in the Angola Gyre. The oxygen deficit in the northern Benguela central water amounted to about 60–80 μmol l⁻¹ at the shelf edge and increased up to 150 μmol l⁻¹ on the shelf, due to local oxygen consumption. In the austral summer anoxic bottom waters are observed at the central Namibian shelf, which correlate to an SACW fraction >55%. Periods with high SACW fraction in the water mass composition were congruent with hydrogen sulphide events detected by remote sensing.     

藻源性湖泛水体显黑颗粒的元素形态分析与鉴定

湖泛现象是我国超富营养化浅水湖泊面临的最严峻环境问题之一,水体发黑、发臭是湖泛水体最显著和基本的物理特征.针对太湖湖泛显黑颗粒缺乏从元素形态直接给出证据的问题,针对室内模拟藻体和沉积物存在下形成的湖泛水体,采用多种图谱分析技术,对厌氧截留分离的显黑颗粒物质及其化学组成和元素形态进行了分析鉴定.扫描电镜-X射线能谱分析与荧光光谱分析表明:湖泛水体显黑颗粒物质以藻类残体和悬浮沉积物颗粒物为主,其组成元素以C、O、Si为主;与未发生湖泛的对照样相比,湖泛水体显黑颗粒物样品中具有更高的Fe、S含量.X射线光电子能谱Fe、S微区分析进一步表明:湖泛显黑颗粒物样品中Fe主要以Fe(Ⅱ)的形式存在、S则以还原态S2-的形式赋存,两者具有共同化合成Fe S的充要条件.因此,缺氧厌氧条件下,湖泛水体的显黑物质组成是Fe S,它可由水体中Fe2+和ΣS2-通过化学共沉淀形成,并主要通过吸附于悬浮颗粒物之上而使得整个水柱呈现黑色,指示湖泛的暴发过程和维持状态.

The impact of reed-protecting structures on littoral zones

The impact of several types of reed-protecting structures on hydrodynamic conditions, sediment properties and littoral water quality were investigated. All types of embankment lead to a dissipation of wave energy. The embankment with fagots (type 1) shows a limited porosity in contrast to the other types examined. All kinds of embankment enhance the accumulation of organic matter at the land/water-interface. Hence, they protect littoral accumulation zones from erosion. The embankment with fagots causes changes in sediment properties at the seaward side of reed belts. The surface of mineral sediments is turned into a fine-grained mud, with a high content of organic matter. Accelerated sedimentary microbial processes (oxygen demand) are produced by increasing nutrient availability (carbon, nitrogen). As a result, the O₂-saturation of water bodies is significantly reduced. This is in contrast to the embankment with wooden partitions and palisades (type 2 and 3), which had no significant effects on sediment conditions and water quality. The consequences of changes in type 1-protected reed stands are discussed. Practical recommendations are given for the further use of reed-protecting structures.     

Images of concentrations of dissolved sulphide in the sediment of a lake and implications for internal sulphur cycling

The high-resolution mapping of dissolved sulphide in modern sediment of a permanently stratified (meromictic) lake is possible using a novel sulphide imaging technique (called a 'sulphur print'). The technique is simple, easy to use and can map a relatively large area (up to several dm²). In situ sulphur prints from anoxic fine-grained sediments are able to reveal internal structures in apparently homogeneous materials. Sulphur prints have been used to examine the formation and distribution of dissolved sulphide in the sediment and water column of the meromictic Lake Cadagno (southern Switzerland). The prints show clearly that a previously unknown laminar convective flow of sulphide-free porewater occurs across the sediment–water interface. Such convective flow out of the sediment must be accompanied by convective flow of sulphide- and sulphate-rich lake water into the sediment, and may be an important mechanism for the accumulation of sulphur in the sediment.     

Hydrogen bonding interactions in phase A [Mg7Si2O8(OH)6] at ambient and high pressure

Neutron powder diffraction data of phase A (Mg₇Si₂O₈(OH)₆) were collected at ambient pressure and 3.2?GPa (calculated from the compressibility of phase A) from the deuterated compound, and the structure was refined using the Rietveld method. The derived crystal structure implies that hydrogen atoms occupy two distinct sites in phase A, both forming hydrogen bonds of different lengths with the same oxygen atom. This picture is supported by IR spectra, which exhibit two absorption bands at 3400 and 3513?cm^?1 corresponding to OH stretching vibrations, and proton NMR spectra, which display two peaks with equal intensities and isotropic chemical shifts of 3.7 and 5?ppm. The D-D distance [D(1)-D(2) distance] at ambient pressure was found to be 2.09?±?0.02?Å from the neutron diffraction data and 2.09?±?0.05?Å from the NMR spectra. At 3.2?GPa, there is no statistically significant increase in the O-D interatomic distance while the hydrogen bonding interaction D···O appears to increase for one of the hydrogen sites, D(1), which has the stronger hydrogen bonding interaction compared with the other hydrogen, D(2), at ambient pressure. The O-D bond valences, determined indirectly from the D···O distances were 0.86 and 0.91 at ambient pressure, and 0.83 and 0.90?at 3.2?GPa, for D(1) and D(2), respectively.     

Hydrogen peroxide measurements in the marine atmosphere

Hydrogen peroxide, one of the key compounds in multiphase atmospheric chemistry, was measured on an Atlantic cruise (ANT VII/1) of the German research vessel Polarstern from 15 September to 9 October 1988, in rain and ambient air by a chemiluminescence technique. For gas phase H₂O₂ cryogenic sampling was employed. The presented results show an increase of gas-phase mixing ratios of about 45 pptv per degree latitude between 50° N and 0°, and a maximum of 3.5 ppbv around the equator. Generally higher mixing ratios were observed in the Southern Hemisphere, with a clear diurnal variation. The H₂O₂ mixing ratio is correlated to the UV radiation intensity and to the temperature difference between air and ocean surface water.     

川东北天然气单体烃氢同位素组成特征
