Long-term variability of shelf water intrusion and its influence on hydrographic and biogeochemical properties of the Seto Inland Sea, Japan

The variability of the pathway of the Kuroshio is known to control that of the intensity of upwelling of the cold and nutrient-rich deep shelf water at the shelf-break point. This study has investigated the influences of the long-term variability of the hydrographical and biogeochemical conditions at the shelf-break point on those in the inner Seto Inland Sea. Results from observations conducted since 1972 by prefectural fisheries observatories showed a temporary decrease of temperature in the lower layer of the entrance of Kii Channel in summertime in the specific years when the Kuroshio pathway favored deep shelf water intrusion. A corresponding change in temperature was also found in the inner shelf sea, such as western Osaka Bay and Harima-Nada. The model developed in this study covers a 30-year period and well reproduces the temporal change in temperature. It also shows sufficient reproducibility in both seasonal behavior of hydrographical and biogeochemical properties and the inter-annual variability of hydrographical properties throughout the eastern Seto Inland Sea. It was found that the inter-annual variations of annual total flux through the section at the entrance to Kii Channel affect the inter-annual variation of the observed concentration of Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen (DIN) in Harima Nada, but the effect was smaller than those of river input and other parameters.     

Anticyclonic eddies in the northeastern South China Sea during winter 2003/2004

The origins and evolutions of two anticyclonic eddies in the northeastern South China Sea (SCS) were examined using multi-satellite remote sensing data, trajectory data of surface drifting buoys, and in-situ hydrographic data during winter 2003/2004. The results showed that buoy 22918 tracked an anti-cyclonic warm-core eddy (AE1) for about 20 days (December 4–23, 2003) in the northeastern SCS, and then escaped from AE1 eventually. Subsequently to that, buoy 22517 remained within a different anti-cyclonic warm-core eddy (AE2) for about 78 days (from January 28 to April 14, 2004) in the same area. It drifted southwestward for about 540 km, and finally entered into the so-called “Luzon Gyre”. Using inference from sea level anomaly (SLA), sea surface temperature (SST), geostrophic currents and the buoys’ trajectories, it is shown that both eddies propagated southwestward along the continental slope of the northern SCS. The mean speeds of AE1 and AE2 movements were 9.7 cm/s and 10.5 cm/s, respectively, which are similar to the phase speed of Rossby waves in the northern SCS. The variation of instantaneous speeds of the eddy movement and intensity of anticyclonic eddy may suggest complex interactions between an anticyclonic eddy and its ambient fluids in the northern SCS, where the eddy propagated southwestward with Rossby waves. Furthermore, SLA and SST images in combination with the temperature and salinity profiles obtained during a cruise suggested that AE1 was generated in the interior SCS and AE2 was shed from the “Kuroshio meander”.     

构造作用对烃源岩演化和分布的影响

烃源岩的形成和分布受多种因素的影响,构造作用是一个主要的方面。研究认为,断裂作用对烃源岩的影响较大,大的断裂对周边富烃凹陷的形成有明显的控制作用,同时断层活动产生的热量也会影响烃源岩的演化。火山作用造成的岩浆侵入体携带的热能可认为是一个附加热源,促进烃源岩的演化。热液中的一些稀有元素会促进源岩的分布和生烃速率,对烃源岩生烃产生积极作用。构造活动中,挤压作用产生的超压也在一定程度上对烃源岩产生影响。

Petrology and Isotope Geochemistry of the Pan-African Negash Pluton, Northern Ethiopia: Mafic-Felsic Magma Interactions During the Construction of Shallow-level Calc-alkaline Plutons

The Negash pluton consists of monzogranites, granodiorites,hybrid quartz monzodiorites, quartz monzodiorites and pyroxenemonzodiorites, emplaced at 608 ± 7 Ma (zircon U–Pb)in low-grade volcaniclastic sediments. Field relationships betweenmafic and felsic rocks result from mingling and hybridizationat the lower interface of a mafic sheet injected into partiallycrystallized, phenocryst-laden, granodiorite magma (back-veining),and hybridization during simultaneous ascent of mafic and felsicmagmas in the feeder zone located to the NW of the pluton.

胶西北丛家花岗闪长岩体SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学研究

胶西北地区是我国最重要的金矿集中区,区内大量展布的中生代花岗岩与金矿关系十分密切,本文通过对郭家岭序列的丛家花岗闪长岩体的地质背景和SHRIMP锆石年代学研究,获得该岩体的成岩年龄为(127±1)Ma,地质时代属早白垩世。郭家岭序列各个岩体所测得的年龄值相差不大,表明它们近于同时侵位,侵位时间为127.9 Ma。丛家岩体锆石样品中测得Ar_3、Pt_1、J_3等多个期次的继承锆石年龄。结合前人研究,表明郭家岭序列岩浆源区成分非常复杂,既有来自胶辽陆块的前寒武纪基底、晚侏罗世玲珑序列,也有来自胶南—威海造山带的三叠纪同碰撞花岗岩类,还有幔源组分的加入。其中,壳源组分以玲珑序列为主。郭家岭序列与胶西北地区金矿的关系十分密切。从时间上看,郭家岭序列的形成年龄早于胶西北地区金矿的形成年龄5~10 Ma,符合同源岩浆成因金矿的成岩成矿时间差。从空间上看,胶西北地区三条主要控矿断裂带下均有隐伏郭家岭序列存在,金矿与郭家岭序列形影不离。从物质成分上看,与其他早白垩世岩浆岩类相比,郭家岭序列相对富Na,有可能是郭家岭序列在侵位之前,经历了含Au的富K热液组分分离的结果。因此,郭家岭序列更接近于胶西北地区金矿的成矿母岩。

Methodological study of coastal geological hazard assessment based on GIS

The current researches on risk assessment of geological disasters mainly focus on unexpected disasters such as collapses, landslides and mud-rock flows etc. As the convergence zone of land and sea, coastal zone is the most active and complex area of interactions of lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and anthroposphere. The ecological environment of coastal zone is very fragile, so further systematical research on coastal geological hazard assessment and prevention is in urgent need. The author begins with the definition and research contents and selects three typical coastal geological disasters, namely, the seawater intrusion, coastline change and sea-level rise as the objects of study. The systematic analysis and study on assessment system and methods are conducted, hazard assessment factors are selected, and a completely set of coastal disaster assessment system is established based on the technique of GIS. We took Bao’an District of Shenzhen City as an example and carried out a case study.     

云南中甸地区浪都高钾中酸性侵入岩的地球化学特征

中甸地区浪都中酸性侵入岩在空间上与浪都夕卡岩型铜矿床共生,主要由石英二长斑岩、石英闪长斑岩和花岗闪长斑岩组成。这些侵入岩大多表现出高钾(K2O大于3%)的特征,在K2O-SiO2图上所有样品均落入高钾钙碱性和钾玄岩区域。在稀土元素球粒陨石标准化图上表现为轻稀土富集、重稀土亏损(LaN/YbN=14.3～21.2)、铕弱负异常至无异常(δEu=0.77～1.00);在原始地幔标准化微量元素蛛网图上,K、Rb、Sr、Ba等元素表现出正异常,而Nb、Ta和Ti等元素表现出负异常的特征。浪都侵入岩的87Sr/86Sr初始值为0.7044～0.7069,εNd(t)值为-2.8～-2.2。结合主量、微量元素及Sr-Nd同位素组成,本研究认为浪都岩浆来源于交代地幔,很可能受到了俯冲带流体交代和地壳物质混染的影响,表明浪都中酸性侵入岩的形成与甘孜-理塘洋的俯冲有关。
