Sedimentary Features of Shallow Ancient River Channels on the Northern Shelf of the South China Sea1

Abstract Quaternary buried ancient river channels are widespread in the shallow-level sediments of the northern shelf of the South China Sea. The sedimentary sequence mainly of fluvial deposits comprise an important component part of the low-stand system tract and transgressive system tract in the study region. The plannar variation and spatial association of the sedimentary features such as incised valley fillings, deltaic foreset wedges and block slides of shelf-marginal fans reflect the palaeogeographic environment during the fall of the regional sea level in the northern part of the South China Sea. Based on the high-resolution seismic reflection data and gelogical data from boreholes, the present paper makes an integrated interpretation of the Quaternary ancient river channels in the shallow sediments of the study area, studies the sedimentary features of the ancient channels such as their spatial distribution, seismic facies reflection indicators, sedimentary facies and sand-body types, and discusses their formational setting and evolutionary model, with the main purpose to render a service to the hydrocarbon resources exploration and development and marine engineering in the northern shelf of the South China Sea.     

论环渤海地区资源结构与产业结构特点

环渤海地区是一个资源型产业聚集区,其产业结构的形成与特点同资源结构间有着密切的联系.本区资源结构特点可以概括为光、热、水、土资源组合较好,矿产资源丰富且矿种配套较佳、钢铁和化工工业生产条件理想,水资源不足、水土和水矿结构不尽理想.在资源结构基础上形成了本区产业结构中第一产业基础较好,第二产业强大、采掘和原材料工业突出,第三产业相对比较落后的特点.这些特点是环渤海地区今后产业结构升级转换的主要影响因素.

二维海陆风环流的数值研究

本文对Nickerson的中尺度模式作了一些修改,加入了地表热量平衡方程和一个13层的土壤层模式,并对Therry等的行星边界层参数化形式作了调整.使之较好地模拟出太阳辐射和地表温度的日变化.对不同地形、纬度和夏、冬季海陆风的模拟表明,本模式具有较强的海陆风模拟能力.     

有限元法在中国南海及邻域区域稳定性研究中的应用

本文运用有限元法对南海及邻域现代构造应力场进行了初步的计算,结果表明:应力差(△a)的数值呈现有规律的分布,根据△a值的大小可以把本区划分为四个活动区:它们分别是烈活动区(△a>500bar)、强活动区(250bar<△a<500bar)、中活动区(12Sbar<△a<250bar)、弱活动区(△a<125bar)。其中南海北部及华南沿海地区属中活动区,这种环境对工程建设较为有利。     

海南岛沉积建造特征及大地构造问题

海南岛是欧亚大陆壳的南缘。作者主要依据沉积建造特征及其演化、空间分布和大地构造属性,并结合岩浆活动等重要标志,认为海南岛经历了地槽、地台、地洼三个大地构造发展阶段。以岛南九所—陵水深断裂为界,岛中岛北现阶段属东南地洼区,前寒武纪一早古生代为地槽区,晚古生代为地台区;深断裂以南为南海地洼区,前寒武纪时为地槽区,古生代演化为地台区。全岛早三叠世末同时进入地洼发展阶段。岛西石碌铁矿和近年发现的戈枕金矿成矿带皆位于前寒武纪地槽构造层内,皆受地洼构造叠加改造影响,皆属多因复成矿床。     

七月大气环流对南极海冰异常的响应

本文用一个全球大气九层谱模式，模拟了七月份南极两个不同海区海冰区异常对大气环流的影响。主要讨论了大气环流对南极海冰异常存在的局地性的及全球性的响应。细致分析了二个区域极冰异常导致的南北半球低频波列分布的差异，以及它们对热带区域及亚洲季风区降水、越赤道气流的不同影响。最后则依据我们的模拟结果，讨论了南极海冰异常影响全球大气环流的动力学机制。     

Denitrification processes in the Arabian Sea

Recent information on some consequences of the acute mid-water oxygen deficiency in the Arabian Sea, especially on carbon-nitrogen cycling, is reviewed. An evaluation of published estimates of water column denitrification rate suggests an overall rate in the vicinity of 30Tg Ny^-1, but the extent of benthic contribution remains unknown. A decoupling of denitrification from primary production, unique to the Arabian Sea, is revealed by nitrite, electron transport system (ETS) activity and bacterial production data. Results of both enzymatic and microbiological investigations strongly point to a major role of organic carbon other than that sinking from surface layers in supporting denitrification. Although denitrification is associated with an intermediate nepheloid layer, it seems unlikely that the excess carbon comes with particles re-suspended along the continental margins and transported quasi-horizontally into the ocean interior; instead, the particle maximum may directly reflect a higher bacterial abundance. It is proposed that denitrification may be predominantly fuelled by the dissolved organic matter.
