Spatial characteristics and controlling factors of chemical weathering of loess in the dry season in the middle Loess Plateau,China

Hydrochemistry methods were used to decipher the weathering and geochemical processes controlling solute acquisition of river waters in the dry season in the middle Loess Plateau (MLP), one of the most severely eroded areas and turbid riverine systems in the world. River waters were neutral to slightly alkaline with pH varying from 7.6 to 9.6. The total dissolved solids decreased from northwest to southeast with a mean value of 804 mg/l, much higher than the global average and other large rivers in China. Ternary diagram showed that river waters were dominated by Na⁺, HCO₃^?, and Cl^? with the main water‐type of HCO₃^?–Cl^?–Na⁺. Saturation index values, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, and HCO₃^? analyses indicated the preferential Ca²⁺ removal by calcite precipitation. Gibbs plots and stoichiometry plots indicated that the dissolved solutes were mainly derived from rock weathering with minor anthropogenic and atmospheric inputs. Samples in the northwestern basin are also influenced by evaporation. A forward model of mass budget calculation showed that, owing to high soluble characteristics, evaporite dissolution was a major feature of river waters and contributed 41% to the total dissolved cations on average, while carbonate and silicate weathering contributed 28%,and 25% on average, respectively. Besides evaporite dissolution, cation exchange is also responsible for the high concentrations of Na⁺ in river water. Spatial variations showed that evaporite dissolution and silicate weathering were higher in the northern basin, whereas carbonate weathering was higher in the southern basin. Different from most rivers in the world, the physical erosion rates (varying from 117.7 to 4116.6 t/km²y) are much higher than the chemical weathering rates (varying from 3.54 to 6.76 t/km²y) in the MLP because of the loose structure of loess and poor vegetation in the basin. In the future, studies on comparison of water geochemistry in different seasons and on influence of different types of land use and soil salinization on water geochemistry, denudation rates, and water quality should be strengthened in the MLP. These results shed some lights on processes responsible for modern loess weathering and also indicate the importance of time‐series sampling strategy for river water chemistry.

盆地潜凸起岩溶热储地热田是我国主要供暖用热储之一,具有分布面积广、水温高、水量大等特点,是北方清洁供暖的重要可再生热源。本文以菏泽潜凸起岩溶热储地热田为例,通过地质构造、岩溶发育特征、同位素和水文地球化学特征、地温场空间分布规律、地热水动力场的系统分析,揭示地热田岩溶地热水补给源、运移途径和富集机理：地热水来源于东北部梁山、东部嘉祥一带基岩山区大气降水入渗补给,主要循环富集于层间岩溶与断裂破碎带复合处。根据地温场空间分布特征揭示的热源及其传递和聚集特征,提出了四元聚热机制,一元是大地热流毯状传导聚热、二元是凸起区高热导率分流聚热、三元是导热断裂或岩体接触带带状对流聚热、四元是地下水运移传导-对流聚热。在热储富集和聚热成因机理研究基础上,构建了基于水源、热源及深部岩溶发育特征的地热田成因机理模型,揭示了地热能富集规律。

木吉村铜(钼)矿田位于太行山脉中、北段阜平幔枝构造的北东倾伏端,涞源哑铃状杂岩体连接处西侧上盘拆离带的次级断陷盆地中,主要由斑岩型铜(钼)矿、矽卡岩型铁铜矿和外围热液脉型铅锌矿构成,是河北省目前探明的唯一大型铜(钼)多金属矿田,找矿远景巨大。鉴于矿床成矿物质来源在研究矿床成因和指导找矿中的重要作用,对木吉村矿田主要矿床矿石中黄铁矿、黄铜矿、方铅矿、辉钼矿、磁铁矿、石英和石膏等单矿物进行了硫、铅、碳、氢、氧、硅、铼等同位素测定、对比和分析。结果表明:矿田中硫同位素主值域δ34S=-3.5‰~3.2‰,主平均值为0.3‰;铅同位素206 Pb/204 Pb=15.566 0~17.072 0,平均为16.547 0,207Pb/204Pb=15.031 0~15.523 0,平均为15.258 0,208 Pb/204 Pb=36.292 0~37.375 0,平均为36.721 0;碳同位素δ13 C为-2.94‰~-2.18‰,平均为-2.62‰;硅同位素δ30 SiNBS-28值域为-0.3‰~0.2‰,平均0.0‰;辉钼矿w(Re)为(23.65~266.50)×10-6,平均值为142.33×10-6;δ18 OH2O值为-10.64‰~7.70‰,极差为18.34‰,平均值为-1.47‰,较标准岩浆水值稍低,δD值为-148.4‰~-89.0‰,极差为59.4‰,平均值为-113.7‰,略低于岩浆岩δD值域。从而认为,木吉村矿田成矿物质主要来源于地球深部,成矿溶液以岩浆水为主,部分来自大气降水。     

考虑地层各向异性井壁稳定性研究进展

考虑地层各向异性井壁稳定性研究对地质特征复杂的非常规油气储层开发意义重大,在对国内外近10年相关研究成果调研基础上对其主要进展进行了综述。影响井壁稳定性的地层各向异性因素包括:区域地应力大小、区域应力性质、岩石物理力学参数差异、井身结构、水化膨胀、微裂缝及弱层理盘角度等。详细梳理了各单因素对井壁稳定性的影响机制,地层应力系统及岩石强度对井壁稳定性的影响最大。对于具弱层理盘地层,沿不同钻井方向岩石强度差异较大;沿弱层理面地层容易发生水化膨胀,且往往微裂缝发育,井壁容易失稳,因此应采用高抑制钻井液体系或油基钻井液。在复杂地层钻井过程中,以上各单因素相伴而生,进行各单因素耦合条件下井壁稳定性分析对合理制定应对策略具有重要意义。加强考虑地层各向异性井壁稳定性基础理论、数值模拟及基于三维可视化建模的近实时井壁稳定动态模拟预测研究是该研究在未来的主要发展方向。

Spatial structure analysis of a reptile community with airborne LiDAR data

The analysis of the spatial structure of animal communities requires spatial data to determine the distribution of individuals and their limiting factors. New technologies like very precise GPS as well as satellite imagery and aerial photographs of very high spatial resolution are now available. Data from airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors can provide digital models of ground and vegetation surfaces with pixel sizes of less than 1 m. We present the first study in terrestrial herpetology using LiDAR data. We aim to identify the spatial patterns of a community of four species of lizards (Lacerta schreiberi, Timon lepidus, Podarcis bocagei, and P. hispanica), and to determine how the habitat is influencing the distribution of the species spatially. The study area is located in Northern Portugal. The position of each lizard was recorded during 16 surveys of 1 h with a very precise GPS (error < 1 m). LiDAR data provided digital models of surface, terrain, and normalised height. From these data, we derived slope, ruggedness, orientation, and hill-shading variables. We applied spatial statistics to determine the spatial structure of the community. We computed Maxent ecological niche models to determine the importance of environmental variables. The community and its species presented a clustered distribution. We identified 14 clusters, composed of 1–3 species. Species records showed two distribution patterns, with clusters associated with steep and flat areas. Cluster outliers had the same patterns. Juveniles and subadults were associated with areas of low quality, while sexes used space in similar ways. Maxent models identified suitable habitats across the study area for two species and in the flat areas for the other two species. LiDAR allowed us to understand the local distributions of a lizard community. Remotely sensed data and LiDAR are giving new insights into the study of species ecology. Images of higher spatial resolutions are necessary to map important factors such as refuges.

Status,trends and challenges in the sustainability of small-scale fisheries in the Philippines: Insights from FISHDA (Fishing Industries' Support in Handling Decisions Application) model

Managing small-scale fisheries in a developing country like the Philippines is very challenging because of high pressures from expanding fishing population, poverty and lack of alternative options. Thus, resource-focused fisheries management initiatives such as marine protected area (MPA) establishment will likely result in further marginalization of the poor fishers which could pose more serious problems in coastal communities. In this study, the status of small-scale fisheries in 44 coastal towns in the Philippines was assessed using FISHDA (Fishing Industries' Support in Handling Decisions Application), a simple decision support tool which requires minimal or easily-generated data. Results showed that 68% (30 out of 44) of the studied towns have unsustainable fisheries unless 58% of their fishing grounds are protected from all fishing activities. Alternatively, 53% of the active fishers in towns with unsustainable fisheries must totally stop fishing to avert fishery collapse. Alarming as it may sound, this is still an underestimate as catches incurred by the highly efficient and destructive illegal fishing activities such as blast, poison and large-scale fishing, which are reported to be still rampant in many coastal areas in the Philippines, were not accounted for in this study. This study demonstrated that MPAs alone may not be enough to avert fishery collapse even if MPA size is increased from the current 3% to 15% of the municipal waters, i.e. up to 15 km from the shore, as required by the Philippine law. Various challenges confronting the fishery and important recommendations to address them are further discussed.
