The Lagoon of Venice： geological setting,evolution and land subsidence

The paper deals with the geological setting, history and subsidence of the Venetian Plain. Major attention is paid to the Pleistocene-Holocene stratigraphic sequence in the Lagoon of Venice, in relation to its origin that datesback to 6-7 kyr BP. Geological land subsidence, which played an important role in the origin and the evolution of the lagoon, and anthropogenic subsidence, that has recently assumed a major importance for the Venetian environment, are discussed. Considering also the sealevel rise, 23 cm loss in land elevation has occurred in the last century, leading to increased flooding events and environmental problems that require protective works.     

郯庐断裂在渤海海域的地质特征及其演化

纵贯我国东部的郯庐断裂带，切割穿越不同的构造单元，有着长期复杂的演化历史。对地质构造、地层发育、岩浆活动、矿产及地震活动均有明显的控制作用。其中山东沂沐断带、渤海郯庐断带和下辽河断带都是郯庐断裂带重要组成部分。因此，研究郯庐断带的性质及演化历史有极其重要的意义。但关于郯庐断裂的性质众说纷云，     

南海东北部及其邻区新生代构造事件

南海东北部及其邻区新生代构造事件主要有白垩纪末－古新世早期，始新世中期，始新世晚期－早新世，中新世晚期－上新世初和上新世末－更新世中期发生的５次事件，它们在区内表现明显，伴有不整合，地层缺失和岩浆，断裂，褶皱等活动，同一构造事件在不同构造单元发生的时间可以有早有晚，程度有强有弱，性质有张有压，或造陆造山或造海造盆，但是这些表现却互有联系且可在全区追踪对比。
