Karst Hazard Assessment of Eastern Saudi Arabia

Karst phenomena exist in areas in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia, forming solution features such as sinkholes, collapsed dolines and solution caverns, as a result of the chemical leaching of the carbonate and evaporite formations by percolating water. The instability of these karst phenomena could produce land subsidence problems. This paper reviews the geology of documented karstic rock units in Saudi Arabia and proposes a simple engineering classification of the solution features characteristic of limestone. Two case histories in the Dhahran area, eastern Saudi Arabia, will be used as examples for the application of a modified engineering classification.     

马家沟灰岩（古）岩溶研究中的若干问题探讨

讨论了华北地区奥陶系马家沟组灰岩岩溶研究中的几个问题，包括沉积岩溶，暴露岩溶，埋藏岩溶，现代岩溶及陷落柱等，指出了沉积岩溶和暴露岩溶洞穴不能保存或保存甚少，但对后期的岩溶发育具有重要控制作用，最后，提出了今后奥陶系灰岩岩溶研究的基本思路。     

Study on distribution characteristics of strong earthquakes in Sichuan-Yunnan area and their geological tectonic background

Introduction Both Sichuan and Yunnan are provinces with more earthquakes. Based on catalogue of strong earthquakes in China compiled by the Prediction Department of China Earthquake Administration, there are 639 M5.0 earthquakes during 26 B.C.~A.D. 2001. Among them, 475 are M=5.0~5.9 events, 124 are M=6.0~6.9 events, 39 are M=7.0~7.9 events, and one is M=8 event occurred in Sichuan and Yunnan area. Here is one of the areas where seismic activities are most active in China. Sichuan-Yun…     

依兰-萝北地区地震危险区地震活动跟踪研究

本文选取地震活动图像演化和地震学参数变化两项指标，采用有时间段的时空扫描进行演化研究，逐步将这种演化研究推进到短期阶段进行跟踪研究。认为依兰-萝北地区近期发生5级左右地震可能性较小，黑龙江断裂两侧可能会有4级左右地震发生。     

新疆及边邻地区7级以上地震前后北天山地下流体动态的异常变化

重点分析了新疆及边邻地区1980年以来6次7级以上地震前后北天山地下流体动态异常资料，其中3次地震前地下水有短期前兆异常变化，震时同震地震波效应普遍存在，震后异常十分突出且幅度大；以水位为主的水动力学效应反映了大区域应力调整过程具有不可逆特征。水文地球化学参数的变化不敏感。讨论了地下水远程效应与井震距离的关系以及阶跃异常的幅度等问题。     

塔中地区油气运聚特征

塔中地区主要受塔中Ⅰ号、Ⅱ号及Ⅲ号三条大断层控制 ,形成巨型复式背斜 ,隆起高部位地层遭受了强烈的风化剥蚀。背斜之上 ,断裂和局部构造发育。可划分出两个主要成藏期 :第Ⅰ成藏期为寒武系—下奥陶统烃源岩成熟生烃运移期 ,生排烃高峰为志留纪 ;第Ⅱ成藏期为中—上奥陶统烃源岩在燕山期—喜马拉雅期成熟生烃运聚。第Ⅰ成藏期形成的油藏有两个特征 :在塔中Ⅰ号断裂带、北部斜坡带油气注入奥陶系及志留系圈闭中 ,形成原生油气藏 ;构造高部位 (如中央断垒带 )的油气藏在后期构造运动中遭受破坏。第Ⅱ成藏期形成的油藏可分为两类 :对早期油藏的再次充注 ;聚集形成新油藏。塔中地区的油气运移通道主要有断裂和不整合面 ,油气的分布也主要受断裂和不整合面所控制。塔中Ⅰ号构造带和北部斜坡带是较为有利的勘探区带     

MAPGIS在矿产预测中的应用及其效果——以江西省东北部“金三角”区为例

运用GIS系统对江西省东北部“金三角”区进行资源潜力预测，共圈定Ⅰ级区7个、Ⅱ级区9个。优选其中2个区进行预查及工程验证，预测效果良好。     

古交矿区8号煤的实验室热解脱硫

介绍了古交矿区8号煤在不加催化剂和加催化剂两种条件下的实验室热解脱硫试验情况．结果表明，在不加催化剂时，升温速度为5～10℃／min脱硫效果最好，脱硫率大于40％；当在原煤中添加催化剂AlCl3和NH4Cl时，有较好的脱硫作用，焦炭中灰分也没有明显提高，而当添加催化剂CuCl2和CaO时，不能脱除煤中硫。并据此提出了建议脱硫方案。     

基于GIS的攀西地区铂族元素成矿地质条件初步分析

攀西地区以良好的铂族元素(PGE)成矿地质背景，而成为我国铂族元素找矿热点地区之一。本文在建立攀西地区铂族元素矿床地质概念模型的基础上，用地理信息系统(GIS)分析了该地区的铂族元素成矿地质条件，包括地质构造、峨眉山玄武岩、基性一超基性岩和铂族元素地球化学异常特征。指出研究区的深大断裂对铂族元素的富集表现出很好的控制作用，峨眉山玄武岩为铂族元素的矿源层之一，岩浆岩为铂族元素的富集提供了成矿物质及成矿能量。     

K–Ar geochronology of the temporal change of eruptive style in the eastern Izu peninsula, central Japan

Abstract   A recent K–Ar study elucidated that eruptive style in the eastern Izu peninsula changed from polygenetic to monogenetic volcano at 0.3–0.2 Ma. To narrow down the time of change, we determined 10 K–Ar ages on Togasayama Andesite of Amagi volcano, the youngest polygenetic volcano in the area, and Togasayama Monogenetic Volcano, one of the oldest monogenetic volcanoes in the area, which overlies a part of the Togasayama Andesite. Dating results showed that the Togasayama Andesite effused at least from 0.34 to 0.20 Ma, whereas the Togasayama Monogenetic Volcano erupted at 0.26–0.29 Ma, suggesting that the northern part of the Togasayama Andesite effused after the eruption of the Togasayama Monogenetic Volcano. Considering previous data, it is therefore inferred that change of eruptive style in the eastern Izu area occurred during the period 0.29–0.20 Ma, with considerable overlap of both polygenetic and monogenetic volcanism.
