鄂东丰山矿田花岗闪长斑岩体锆石SHRIMP U－Pb定年及其意义

鄂东丰山矿田是长江中下游多金属成矿带的重要组成部分,由鸡笼山、丰山和李家湾等大－中型铜金多金属矿床组成。矿体产于燕山期花岗闪长斑岩体与三叠系碳酸盐岩接触带中,成矿作用与燕山期花岗闪长斑岩密切相关。作者采用锆石SHRIMP U－Pb定年方法对鸡笼山和丰山矿区成矿斑岩体进行了年代学研究,获得鸡笼山和丰山花岗闪长斑岩的锆石微区原位SHRIMP U－Pb年龄分别为138±2Ma（95%可信度,MSWD=5.1）和137±2Ma（95%可信度,MSWD=1.4）,与前人已报道的鄂东南矿集区内典型铜－金－钼－（钨）矿床中辉钼矿Re－Os等时线年龄（140Ma±）吻合,表明丰山矿田成岩成矿事件均发生于早白垩世。本次研究还在鸡笼山花岗闪长斑岩体中发现了新太古代锆石年龄信息,证实了扬子陆块北缘可能存在新太古－古元古代结晶基底。     

Palaeozoic multiphase magmatism at Barleik Mountain,southern West Junggar,Northwest China: implications for tectonic evolution of the West Junggar

The West Junggar lies in the southwest part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and consists of Palaeozoic ophiolitic mélanges, island arcs, and accretionary complexes. The Barleik ophiolitic mélange comprises several serpentinite-matrix strips along a NE-striking fault at Barleik Mountain in the southern West Junggar. Several small late Cambrian (509–503 Ma) diorite-trondhjemite plutons cross-cut the ophiolitic mélange. These igneous bodies are deformed and display island arc calc-alkaline affinities. Both the mélange and island arc plutons are uncomfortably covered by Devonian shallow-marine and terrestrial volcano-sedimentary rocks and Carboniferous volcano-sedimentary rocks. Detrital zircons (n = 104) from the Devonian sandstone yield a single age population of 452–517 million years, with a peak age of 474 million years. The Devonian–Carboniferous strata are invaded by an early Carboniferous (327 Ma) granodiorite, late Carboniferous (315–311 Ma) granodiorites, and an early Permian (277 Ma) K-feldspar granite. The early Carboniferous pluton is coeval with subduction-related volcano-sedimentary strata in the central West Junggar, whereas the late Carboniferous–early Permian intrusives are contemporary with widespread post-collisional magmatism in the West Junggar and adjacent regions. They are typically undeformed or only slightly deformed.

Our data reveal that island arc calc-alkaline magmatism occurred at least from middle Cambrian to Late Ordovician time as constrained by igneous and detrital zircon ages. After accretion to another tectonic unit to the south, the ophiolitic mélange and island arc were exposed, eroded, and uncomfortably overlain by the Devonian shallow-marine and terrestrial volcano-sedimentary strata. The early Carboniferous arc-related magmatism might reflect subduction of the Junggar Ocean in the central Junggar. Before the late Carboniferous, the oceanic basins apparently closed in this area. These different tectonic units were stitched together by widespread post-collisional plutons in the West Junggar during the late Carboniferous–Permian. Our data from the southern West Junggar and those from the central and northern West Junggar and surroundings consistently indicate that the southwest part of the CAOB was finally amalgamated before the Permian.     

Comparison of the return period for landslide-triggering rainfall events in Japan based on standardization of the rainfall period

The intensity of rainfall events with potential to cause landslides has varying temporal characteristics. In this study, the time at which the 72-h accumulated rainfall reached its maximum was used to standardize the period of rainfall measurement. The proposed standardization of the rainfall period was used in conjunction with the return level of rainfall intensity, obtained from intensity–duration–frequency curves, to investigate rainfall intensity anomalies associated with 10 hazardous rainfall events that triggered numerous landslides at the regional scale in Japan. These landslides included shallow landslides in volcanic and non-volcanic areas, as well as deep-seated landslides. The rainfall events that triggered the shallow landslides were divided into two types: downpours that repeatedly reached close to the 100-year return level within approximately 3–4 h, and accumulated rainfall that reached close to 200–400 mm over longer time intervals but within 72 h. Lithological differences seemed unrelated to the differences between the two types of shallow-landslide-triggering rainfall; however, precipitation >1000 mm was necessary to trigger deep-seated landslides. Although the characteristics of the hyetographs differed markedly among the landslide-triggering rainfall events, all the landslides could have been triggered when the mean rainfall intensity reached the 100-year rainfall level during the standardized period. Thus, the landslide trigger can be evaluated indirectly based on the increase in the return level of the mean rainfall intensity, which could provide a means for estimating the time of landslide occurrence.     

Evolutionary biogeography on Ophiocordyceps sinensis:An indicator of molecular phylogeny to geochronological and ecological exchanges

The fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis is endemic to the vast region of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau(QTP).The unique and complex geographical environmental conditions have led to the "sky island" distribution structure of O.sinensis.Due to limited and unbalanced sample collections,the previous data on O.sinensis regarding its genetic diversity and spatial structure have been deemed insufficient.In this study,we analyzed the diversity and phylogeographic structures of O.sinensis using internally transcribed spacer region(ITS) and 5-locus datasets by a large-scale sampling.A total of 111 haplotypes of ITS sequences were identified from 948 samples data of the fungus O.sinensis,with representing high genetic diversity,and 8 phylogenetic clades were recognized in O.sinensis.Both the southeastern Tibet and the northwestern Yunnan were the centers of genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of the fungus,and they were inferred as the glacial refugia in the Quaternary.Three distribution patterns were identified to correspond to the 8 clades,including but not limited to the coexistence of widely and specific local distributive structures.It also revealed that the differentiation pattern of O.sinensis did not fit for the isolation-by-distance model.The differentiation into the 8 clades occurred between 1.56 Myr and6.62 Myr.The ancestor of O.sinensis most likely originated in the late Miocene(6.62 Myr) in the northwestern Yunnan,and the Scene A-C of the Qinghai-Tibetan movements may have played an important role in the differentiation of O.sinensis during the late Miocene-Pliocene periods.Our current results provide a much clearer and detailed understanding of the genetic diversity and geographical spatial distribution of the endemic alpine fungus O.sinensis.It also revealed that the geochronology resulting from paleogeology could be cross-examined with biomolecular clock at a finer scale.     

Scientists’ framing of the ocean science–policy interface

Scientists’ ideas, beliefs, and discourses form the frames that shape their choices about which research to pursue, their approaches to collaboration and communicating results, and how they evaluate research outputs and outcomes. To achieve ocean sustainability, there are increasing calls for new levels of engagement and collaboration between scientists and policy-makers; scientists’ willingness to engage depends on their current and evolving frames. Here, I present results about how scientists involved in diverse fields of ocean research perceived their role as scientists working at or near the ocean science–policy interface and how this related to their perceptions regarding ocean research priorities. The survey of 2187 physical, ecological and social scientists from 94 countries showed that scientists held different perspectives about their appropriate level of engagement at the ocean science–policy interface and the relative primacy of science versus politics in formulating ocean policy. Six clusters of scientists varied in their frames; three clusters accounted for 94% of the sample. Of 67 research questions identified from 22 research prioritization and horizon scanning exercises, the top eight were shared among all three clusters, showing consistency in research priorities across scientists with different framings of their role at the science–policy interface. Five focused on the mechanisms and effects of global change on oceans, two focused on data collection and management for long-term ocean monitoring, and one focused on the links between biodiversity and ecological function at different scales. The results from this survey demonstrated that scientists’ framings of the role of ocean science at the science–policy interface can be quantified in surveys, that framing varies among scientists, and that research priorities vary according to the framings.     

重金属Cu、Pb在泥鳅(Misgurnus anguillicaudatus)卵巢的蓄积特性及其对卵细胞发育的影响

采用静水法生物测试手段,研究了不同浓度梯度Cu、Pb(各0.00、0.10、0.25、0.50mg/L)随时间变化在泥鳅卵巢中的蓄积特性以及对卵细胞发育的影响。结果表明,泥鳅卵巢对Cu、Pb有较强的蓄积能力,在暴露期间20天内,蓄积量与时间呈线性关系,之后呈对数关系。其中,Cu的蓄积显著大于Pb(P0.01);卵巢中重金属的蓄积与水溶液中Cu、Pb的浓度梯度相关(P0.01),具有明显的时间效应和剂量效应。泥鳅卵巢中卵细胞的发育水平,亦与溶液重金属浓度的高低、暴露时间长短有关;在不同浓度重金属溶液中较长时间的暴露,将对卵巢及卵细胞的发育产生不可逆转的负效应。     

西藏知不拉和浪母家果矽卡岩铜矿地质特征及驱龙-知不拉-浪母家果成矿系统的确定

西藏驱龙巨型斑岩铜钼矿床周围产出有知不拉与浪母家果矽卡岩铜矿。通过揭示知不拉和浪母家果的地质特征、成矿侵入体的地球化学特征和硫同位素特征,结合前人的年代学资料,确立两者与驱龙斑岩铜矿共同构成斑岩-矽卡岩成矿系统。结果显示知不拉与浪母家果矽卡岩矿床中的侵入岩地球化学特征与驱龙矿区的侵入岩地球化学特征相似,属于准铝质、钙碱性-高钾钙碱性岩石;稀土元素表现为强烈的LREE和HREE的分异,除知不拉的细晶岩有很强的Eu负异常,其他具有很弱的Eu负异常;明显富集大离子亲石元素(LILE)和高场强元素(HFSE),K、Pb的正异常,Ta、Nb、Ti的负异常。知不拉硫化物硫同位素与驱龙斑岩铜钼矿的硫同位素相比有明显的差异,这样的差异可能是由于成矿热液氧逸度的变化和晚期高δ34S值的天水加入造成的。研究确立驱龙-知不拉-浪母家果斑岩-矽卡岩成矿系统,主要基于:时代相近,空间毗邻;驱龙斑岩铜矿花岗闪长岩接触带发育有明显矽卡岩矿化;与矿化有关的侵入岩地球化学特征相似性;成矿物质演化趋势相似;矽卡岩连续演化的物理化学条件。而钙质围岩、多期次侵位且侵位较浅的岩浆与区域内构造活动及矿区内断裂、裂隙发育,共同决定了斑岩-矽卡岩系统的产出。     

西藏多龙矿集区铜金流体演化过程探讨 ——来自硫同位素的证据

西藏多龙矿集区发育世界典型的斑岩铜矿系统,文章选取区内多个代表性矿床开展硫同位素研究,并结合前人数据,为探讨该成矿系统成矿物质来源、流体演化过程提供了新证据.研究表明,波龙、拿若、拿厅、拿顿和铁格隆南矿床δ34S平均值相似(接近于0),指示含矿岩浆提供了各矿床所需的硫元素.此外,区内典型矿床流体演化过程可分为2类:①流体演化主要受控于温度变化,表现为δ34S随温度降低而降低(如拿顿矿床);②流体演化受温度和氧化还原状态共同影响,表现为δ34S随温度降低而升高(如:波龙和拿若矿床),或是随温度降低,δ34S波动变化范围较大(如拿厅和铁格隆南矿床).结合岩相学证据,文章推测热液体系氧化还原状态的变化是由水岩反应所导致,最后,文章提出多龙矿集区内矿化阶段硫化物通常具有较低的δ34S,指示成矿流体为高氧化性流体,并且该特征在类似矿床的找矿勘查工作中也可发挥积极的指示作用.

Geology,Geochemistry, and Geochronology of the Fenghuangshan Skarn‐type Copper Deposit in the Tongling Ore Cluster,Anhui Province,East China

The Fenghuangshan skarn-type Cu deposit, Tongling Ore Cluster, Anhui Province, is an important component in the Middle–Lower Yangtze River ore-forming belt. To better understand magmatism and its relationship to mineralization, we investigated geochemical features, ore-forming fluids, and geochronology of the Xinwuli intrusion and the related Fenghuangshan Cu deposit. Lithogeochemical characteristics show that the Xinwuli quartz monzodiorite is formed by mixing magma derived from upper mantle alkaline basalt that has been contaminated by crust materials. C, H and O isotopes indicate that ore-forming fluids mainly come from the magma, with minor amounts of meteoric fluids involved at the late stage. S and Pb isotopic components indicate that ore-forming materials are derived from the mantle. Molybdenite Re–Os isotopic dating yields Re–Os model ages ranging from 139.1±2.4 Ma to 142.0±2.2 Ma, with an isochronal age of 141.1±1.4 Ma, which is consistent with sensitive, high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) zircon U–Pb ages of quartz monzodiorite and granodiorite in the mining area. Dating analysis yields ages from 136.0±2.0 Ma to 143.0±2.4 Ma for the quartz monzodiorite (a weighted average of 139.4±1.2 Ma) and ages from 136.7±2.0 Ma to 145.3±2.4 Ma for granodiorite (a weighted average of 141.0±1.1 Ma).
