IODP366航次——马里亚纳泥火山：蛇纹岩地球化学和构造及生物过程北大核心CSCD

IODP366航次有两个主要的科学目标。第一个目标是致力于马里亚纳弧（马里亚纳海沟以西100km）3个大的蛇纹岩泥火山的顶部及侧面（直径达50km、高2km）一系列站位的岩心钻取。目的是在非增生会聚板块边缘的俯冲带内检验物质运移的过程,详细的计划是找出泥石流物质：     

Provenance of Cored Sediments from Active Margin off Southwestern Taiwan Deduced from Geochemical Constraints

The cored sediments sampled by R/V Marion Dufrense in the active margin off southwestern Taiwan on the east side of the Manila Trench are mostly muds consisting mainly of quartz, feldspar, illite, chlorite ＋ kaolinite with a trace amount of montmorillonite. The cored sediments have higher Fe, Ti, Cr, Cs, Li, Ni, and V but lower Ca, Na, Mn, Hf, Nb, Sr, Ta, U and Zr contents when compared with the upper continental crust（UCC, Taylor and McLennan, 1985）. The Eu/Eu＊ ratios of the sediments averaging 0.69 indicate that the recycling effect on the Eu anomaly may be minor and the contribution of mafic source rock was unimportant, which can also be depicted in the La-Th-Sc plot（Cullers, 1994） showing a ＂mixed origin＂ close to the felsic end member. The chemistry of the cored sediment can be explained by a mixing model designed by Ho and Chen（1996） with four end members i.e., greywacke, shale, quartzite and limestone, which are widely distributed in the Cenozoic formations of southern Taiwan with greywacke as the dominant contributor followed by shale.     

印尼8.7级地震对川滇地区地震活动的影响

对1900年以来印尼爪哇海沟地区发生的8.0级以上地震与川滇地区5.0级以上地震作了统计、对比和分析,并利用跨断层位移流动观测资料,对2004年12月26日印尼苏门答腊西部海域8.7级地震前后,川滇地区的区域构造活动变化进行了分析研究,初步认为:印尼8.7级地震后,川滇地区1~3年内发生7.0级以上地震的可能性不大;1~2年内发生6~7级地震的可能性较大;1年内发生5级以上地震至少两次;纬度27°以南地区可能是未来1年内发震的危险地区,地球自转速度减慢,可能预示川滇地区强震活跃期即将到来。     

北祁连西段早古生代构造演化史

北祁连西段与北祁连中段构造带之间被一条平行于阿尔金断裂带的宗宾大坂古转换断裂所隔，东西两段在早古生代构造演化史上有明显差异。北祁连西段早古生代构造是在前震旦系陆壳基底上，在震旦纪再一次开裂演变为裂陷槽，寒武—奥陶纪为裂谷—海沟—火山弧多元构造的格局     

我国南海历史性水域线的地质特征

40a的海洋地质、地球物理实测研究表明,九段线不仅是显示我国南海主权的历史性水域线,而且总体上也是南海与东部、南部和西部陆区及岛区的巨型地质边界线。根据实测数据,本文将从地质成因、来源、演化的角度论述此南海历史性水域线的合理性。主要结论包括:历史性水域线的东段在地形上基本与马尼拉海沟一致,海沟西侧为南海中央海盆洋壳区,东侧为菲律宾群岛。根据国际地质研究的资料,菲律宾群岛始新世以前位于较偏南的纬度,后来于中晚中新世(距今16~10Ma)仰冲于南海中央海盆之上,因此菲律宾群岛是一个外来群岛。而黄岩岛在马尼拉海沟以西,是中央海盆洋壳区的一个岛礁,与菲律宾群岛成因不同。南海历史性水域线的南段在地形上基本与南沙海槽一致,伴随南沙地块由北部陆缘向南裂离,古南海洋壳沿此海槽以南俯冲至加里曼丹岛陆壳之下,因此南沙地块与加里曼丹陆块为两个来历不同的地块。南海历史性水域线西段的分布在地形上与越东巨型走滑断裂带基本一致,可能与西沙地块、中沙地块、南沙地块从南海北部陆缘向南滑移有关。南沙地块北缘陡直的正断层结构,突显中央海盆是拉裂形成,其基底和中新生代地层与北部珠江口盆地的地层结构可以对比,说明南沙岛礁原属我国华南大陆南缘,后因南海的形成裂离至现今的位置。     

Scenarios of local tsunamis in the China Seas by Boussinesq model

The Okinawa Trench in the East China Sea and the Manila Trench in the South China Sea are considered to be the regions with high risk of potential tsunamis induced by submarine earthquakes. Tsunami waves will impact the southeast coast of China if tsunamis occur in these areas. In this paper, the horizontal two-dimensional Boussinesq model is used to simulate tsunami generation, propagation, and runnp in a domain with complex geometrical boundaries. The temporary varying bottom boundary condition is adopted to describe the initial tsunami waves motivated by the submarine faults. The Indian Ocean tsunami is simulated by the numerical model as a validation case. The time series of water elevation and runup on the beach are compared with the measured data from field survey. The agreements indicate that the Boussinesq model can be used to simulate tsunamis and predict the waveform and runup. Then, the hypothetical tsunamis in the Okinawa Trench and the Manila Trench are simulated by the numerical model. The arrival time and maximum wave height near coastal cities are predicted by the model. It turns out that the leading depression N-wave occurs when the tsunami propagates in the continental shelf from the Okinawa Trench. The scenarios of the tsunami in the Manila Trench demonstrate significant effects on the coastal area around the South China Sea.
