新疆二叠纪泛准噶尔超级湖盆之商榷

新疆准噶尔盆地和吐哈盆地二叠纪沉积的显著特征是,湖盆长期持续沉降堆积了巨厚的湖相建造,包括厚达上千米的暗色泥岩/油页岩,是现今该区油气勘探中的主力烃源岩层。目前对湖盆的规模、潜力等有不同认识,这直接涉及到对烃源岩层油气勘探潜力的评价,影响油气资源的勘探。1新疆地区泛准噶尔二叠系二叠纪在新疆地史发展中有着承前启后的特殊作用,既是槽台发展的结束,又是中、新生代盆地发展的开始。二叠系是北疆各盆地的主要油源岩,在油气勘探中具有重要地位[1]。海西运动使新疆大多数海域相继回返褶皱成山,结束地槽发展的历史。北疆海水几乎全…     

地球物理方法在中国油气资源战略选区中应用的可能性——以藏北羌塘盆地为例

简要回顾了地球物理方法技术在国内几个油田发现过程中的作用。针对中国油气资源战略选区中普遍存在的方法技术问题,以羌塘盆地为例,进行了较为全面深入的剖析。通过对已有资料和成果的分析,认为羌塘盆地实现战略发现的时机已经成熟。而要实现战略发现,目前亟待解决的问题是打参数井、圈定局部构造和寻找合适的方法技术。鉴于羌塘盆地特殊的自然环境和地质条件,提出了高精度大地电磁法、自然电场法、特殊条件下的地震勘探、井地联合地震勘探等关键技术。具体的工作部署是:查明有利区带中最有利的局部构造和构造部位,在最有利的构造部位实施参数井钻探,围绕参数井开展地质、地球物理勘探与综合研究。这些技术和方法的应用有望使羌塘盆地的油气勘探工作迈上新台阶。     

松辽盆地地浸砂岩型铀矿勘查及其找矿方向

20世纪90年代开始,在松辽盆地开展了地浸砂岩型铀矿区域评价工作.盆地的西南部投入数万米钻探工作量开展以第三系和上白垩统嫩江组、姚家组为目的层的找矿工作,取得了较大突破,发现并提交了我国第一个板状砂岩型铀矿床,所建立的双混合叠造铀成矿模式丰富了地浸砂岩型铀成矿理论.在此基础上总结出白垩系砂岩型铀成矿控矿因素和找矿标志.盆地东部构造反转有利于形成砂岩型铀矿床.第三系以潜水氧化为主,还原物质缺乏,而且新构造运动对其改造微弱,总的成矿条件不理想,不宜作为主攻目的层.盆地坳陷阶段沉积的泉头组、青山口组、姚家组为主要找矿目的层,找矿重点在盆地东南部通辽-双辽-德惠地区.下一步科研工作重点为:完善QJD砂岩型铀矿模式、盆地油气与铀成矿关系、白垩纪古水文地质条件的研究.     

Climatic change during the last 4000 years in the southern Tarim Basin,Xinjiang, northwest China

In this study, a ca. 4000 cal. yr ancient lacustrine (or wetland) sediment record at the southern margin of Tarim Basin is used to reconstruct the history of climate change. Six radiocarbon dates on organic matter were obtained. δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C of carbonate, pollen and sediment particle size were analysed for climate proxies. The proxies indicate that a drier climate prevailed in the area before ca. 1010 BC and during period 1010 BC–AD 500 climate then changed rapidly and continuously from dry to moist, but after about AD 500 climate generally shows dry condition. Several centennial‐scale climatic events were revealed, with the wettest spell during AD 450–550, and a relatively wetter interval between AD 930–1030. Pollen results show that regional climate may influence human agricultural activities. Spectral analysis of mean grain size (MGS) proxy reveals statistically pronounced cyclic signals, such as ca. 200 yr, ca. 120 yr, ca. 90 yr, ca. 45 yr and ca. 33 or 30 yr, which may be associated with solar activities, implying that solar variability plays an important role in the decadal‐ and centennial‐scale climate variations in the study area.

Early Pleistocene climate changes in the central Mediterranean region as inferred from integrated pollen and planktonic foraminiferal stable isotope analyses

Vegetation inherited from a Pliocene subtropical climate evolved through obliquity oscillations and global cooling leading to modern conditions. An integrated, highly time-resolved record of pollen and stable isotopes (δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C of Globigerina bulloides) was obtained to understand vegetation responses to Early Pleistocene climate changes. Continental and marine responses are compared in the Central Mediterranean region with a particular consideration of environmental changes during anoxic events.Pollen data illustrate vegetation dynamics as follows: [1] development of mesothermic elements (warm and humid conditions); [2] expansion of mid- and high-altitude elements (cooler but still humid conditions); and [3] strengthening of steppe and herb elements (cooler and dry conditions). These successions correlate with precession. δ¹⁸O variations recorded by Globigerina bulloides define two cycles (MIS 43-40) related to obliquity. At northern low- to mid-latitudes, the pollen signal records temperature and wetness changes related to precession even during global climate changes induced by obliquity. This may result in unexpected increasing wetness during glacial periods, which has to be considered specific to the Central and Eastern Mediterranean region. Lastly, an analysis of anoxic events reveals that enhanced runoff is indicated by increasing frequency of the riparian trees Liquidambar and Zelkova.     

Paleoenvironmental analysis of a middle Wisconsinan biota site, southwestern Virginia, U.S.A.

The Ratcliff Site in southwestern Virginia lies in a small second-order stream valley filled with approximately 3.5 m of organic-rich deposits that contain bones of mammoth, mastodon, deer (or antelope), logs, and plant macrofossils. Radiocarbon analyses indicate the age of the organic-rich sediment ranges from > 44,000 to 29,100 ¹⁴C yr BP, a time period with no fossil remains reported in this region of the Appalachians. Analyses of field observations, textural data, organic carbon content, and plant macrofossils indicate that the organic-rich sediments contain interbedded standing-water and debris-flow deposits. Up to 6 m of oxidized debris-flow sediments bury the organic-rich sediments. The presence of Rubus parviflorus (Thimble Berry) throughout the deposit indicates the site had a boreal environment from > 44,000 to 29,100 ¹⁴C yr BP. Plant macrofossil evidence indicates the uplands had stands of spruce/jack-pine forests while the valley contained ponds and associated wetlands. Three debris flows occurred at the site between approximately 38,000 and 29,000 ¹⁴C yr BP, suggesting a recurrence interval for major storms of approximately 3000 yr, even though the apparent stability of the boreal environment implies a climate not conducive to catastrophic rainstorms. This conflicting combination of features suggests that during the middle Wisconsinan this area experienced generally cool climates, dominated by polar air masses, but was punctuated by relatively brief warm periods marked by incursions of tropical air masses.     

The future of industrial cities and regions in central and eastern Europe

Economic transition in central and eastern Europe (CEE) has had a particularly strong impact on industrial cities and regions. Following their economic collapse, most of them are now confronted with serious problems such as high unemployment and vast ecological damage. The paper presents findings from a pan European research project that investigated the problems of these cities and regions as well as the strategies being adopted to cope with structural change. It examines the differences in approaches and addresses the question whether existing EU policy is suitable for supporting the redevelopment of old industrial cities and regions in CEE countries. The paper concludes with recommendations for future directions in policy making.     

中亚成矿域斑岩铜（钼）矿带的认识与建立

南海北部莺歌海盆地壳源型非生物CO2运聚成藏特征与资源潜力

南海北部莺歌海盆地壳源型非生物(无机)成因CO2运聚成藏机制独特、分布规律复杂、资源规模及潜力巨大,根据目前勘探及研究程度,其CO2资源量逾万亿立方米,勘探所获地质储量超过2000亿m3,居中国探明CO2地质储量之首,在世界范围亦是罕见的,故具有颇大的资源潜力与综合开发利用前景。CO2具明显的多重性,其不仅能广泛应用于国民经济及工农业生产中,而且是导致"厄尔尼诺"现象,严重影响生态环境的主要温室气体,因此,如何综合开发利用这种储量规模巨大的CO2资源,充分发挥其市场经济价值,促进国家经济建设,这是目前该区天然气勘探开发面临的重大科技攻关课题。     

青藏高原东缘龙门-锦屏造山带的崛起——大型拆离断层和挤出机制

龙门-锦屏山的东缘发育一系列逆冲断裂和飞来峰构造,逆冲作用使山体向东叠置在四川盆地之上。新的野外调查、显微构造分析和糜棱岩石英组构的EBSD测量表明,在龙门-锦屏山的前震旦纪变质杂岩体西缘(即青藏高原东缘)发育一条近NS向的大型韧性拆离断裂,被20Ma以来形成的NW—SE向鲜水河韧性走滑剪切带[1]左行错位80km。青藏高原东缘韧性拆离断裂中黑云母40Ar-39Ar测年获得112～120Ma的年龄,表明龙门-锦屏山的崛起可能与白垩纪开始的垂向挤出机制密切关联。结合四川前陆盆地的沉积及演化特征,认为晚三叠世时期羌塘/东昆仑/扬子陆块的碰撞形成松潘-甘孜造山带,晚三叠世—侏罗纪在其东南缘形成四川前陆盆地沉积;早白垩世龙门-锦屏山开始抬升,晚白垩世快速崛起,在四川前陆盆地沉积之上叠置白垩纪—第四纪再生前陆盆地的沉积。龙门-锦屏山的崛起与白垩纪以来扬子板块岩石圈对于松潘-甘孜地体的陆内俯冲作用有关,使位于中下地壳的变质基底岩石在挤出机制下隆起。
