扬子陆块~2.0 Ga的区域变质事件对南北黄陵古元古代差异演化的启示

扬子陆核黄陵地区发育较为完整的太古宙—古元古代片麻岩、表壳岩组合(即崆岭杂岩),前人调查研究认为南北黄陵Ar-Pt1具有一致的物质组成和地质演化过程。笔者分别对南北黄陵太古宙花岗质片麻岩进行锆石年代学研究发现,北黄陵2件样品(HL013-1、HL013-2)均存在大量锆石发育岩浆核-变质边结构,都获得～2.8 Ga原岩结晶年龄和～2.0 Ga变质年龄;而南黄陵1件样品(HL005-3)以具振荡环带结构的岩浆锆石为主,仅获得～2.9 Ga原岩结晶年龄。结合前人研究成果发现,～2.0 Ga的变质年龄在北黄陵太古宙—古元古代的花岗片麻岩、表壳岩中广泛发育,而在南黄陵相似建造中均未获得,一定程度上说明北黄陵地区广泛遭受～2.0 Ga的区域变质作用而南黄陵不发育,南北黄陵在古元古代可能处在不同地块或者同一地块不同部位。2.1～1.6 Ga的构造岩浆事件的分布特点说明扬子陆块可能存在多条古元古代造山带,扬子陆块古元古代以多块体拼贴为特点,广泛记录2.1～1.6 Ga的构造岩浆事件说明扬子陆块是全球哥伦比亚超大陆的重要组成部分。     

LA-ICPMS U-Pb Ages of Zircon from Metaleucosomes, Olongbuluke Microcontinent, North Qaidam, and Implications on the Response to the Global Rodinia Supercontinent Assembly Event in NW China

INTRODUCTION The Olongbuluke microcontinent , which wasdisintegratedfromthe northern margin of the Qaidamblock (Lu,2002) ,is composed of a two-fold base-ment with cover strata . The lower basement is themedium- to high-grade Delingha complex and theDakendaban Group, and the upper is the low-gradeWandonggou Group. The Wandonggou Group of theupper basement experienced a Late Mesoproterozoicmetamorphic event (see Yu et al .,1994) ,consistentwith the early isotopic geochronological respo…     

Dynamic characteristics and horizontal transports of internal solitons generated at the Columbia River plume front

River plume front-generated internal solitons play an important role in the interaction between the plume and coastal waters. The internal solitons drive a non-harmonic velocity field, resulting in a horizontal transport that carries plume water seaward and redistributes nutrients and sediments. In this study, we present observations of internal solitons generated at the Columbia River plume front that separates the new, tidal plume, older plume and coastal waters. Scale analyses suggest that the plume front-generated internal solitons are highly non-linear waves, and their dynamic properties do not conform to any weakly non-linear theory. Thus, a high-order Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) theory is used to analyze the internal solitons. The comparison between theoretical values and cruise data shows that the high-order KdV model is much better than the weakly non-linear theories for prediction of the soliton dynamic parameters. Based on the model, we develop theoretical and numerical solutions of the soliton-induced upper layer horizontal transport and Lagrangian water parcel transport distance, which shows that the water particle drift, during the internal soliton passage, is as far as 1 km, and demonstrates the role of the internal solitons on the exchange between the plume and ambient coastal water. Energy fluxes caused by the internal solitons are estimated using the high-order KdV theory. The leading soliton fluxes 2.0×10³ W m⁻¹ per unit crest length, and carries energy of 4.2×10⁵ J m⁻¹. The total energy carried by the eight internal solitons is 1.6×10⁶ J m⁻¹, about 70% of the total frontal energy.     

Tectonics and surface effects of the supercontinent Columbia

Assembly of the supercontinent Columbia at about 1.85–1.90 Ga coincided with several events that affected the entire earth. The oldest worldwide network of orogenic belts formed at the same time. Although some granite–granodiorite (GG) suites had formed earlier, the GG suites became common in the 1.8–1.9 Ga orogenic belts. These suites succeeded the older tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) suites, which were not produced after 1.8 Ga. Changes on the earth's surface at 1.8–1.9 Ga include rapid increase in the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere and oceans and probably the evolution of eukaryotes. All of these surface changes occurred as Columbia accreted, and the assembly of Columbia may have contributed to the drastic changes in the earth's surface environment as well as to the evolution of primitive life forms.     

阿尔金南缘新元古代盖里克片麻岩年代学、地球化学特征及其构造意义

盖里克片麻岩分布于阿中地块亚干布阳-帕夏拉依档一带,岩体主要岩性由眼球状黑云斜长片麻岩、二云二长片麻岩组成。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年得到²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄值为(886.5±5)Ma,说明盖里克片麻岩原岩形成于新元古代早期青白口纪;地球化学结果显示：主量元素具有高SiO₂、Al₂O₃、K₂O+Na₂O含量,低Na₂O、MgO、CaO和TiO₂含量的特征,A/CNK值介于1.03~1.17之间,属于高钾钙碱性系列的过铝质花岗岩。岩石富集Rb、Th、K等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Sr、P、Hf、Ti等高场强元素,具有典型的大陆碰撞型花岗岩相应的元素丰度特征;岩石轻稀土富集而重稀土亏损,具有明显的负Eu异常,总体呈右倾的“V”型稀土分配模式,显示了典型的地壳重熔型花岗岩特征。盖里克片麻岩的源岩为地壳中角闪岩相基性岩类(变玄武岩),形成于同碰撞构造环境。综上说明本区存在新元古代早期的构造岩浆事件,可能对应于新元古代的罗迪尼亚(Rodinia)超大陆汇聚事件,说明塔里木和柴达木板块之间在新元古代早期曾经存在板块的汇聚碰撞。     

Annihilation of both place and sense of place: the experience of the Cheslatta T'En Canadian First Nation within the context of large-scale environmental projects

The water resources of Canada are today, and have always been, of major importance to the welfare of Canadians. Throughout most of Canada's history, these resources have been viewed within a supply–management framework and, frequently, exploited through the construction of 'megaprojects', often with little or no concern for issues such as environmental harm and social and community disruption. As in many parts of the world, those most affected by such large-scale water resource developments have been aboriginals (in Canada, 'First Nations' peoples). Although the issues of environmental, social and economic damage to First Nations as a result of water megaprojects have been investigated, little has been written about the impact of such projects – especially dam construction – on the loss of sense of place of deracinated peoples. This paper investigates one example of such loss of sense of place, that of the Cheslatta T'En forcibly removed from their ancestral lands in the 1950s so as to allow for the construction of a private hydroelectric dam by the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan).     

华北古大陆与哥伦比亚超大陆

由Rogers和Santosh等 (2 0 0 2 )提出的哥伦比亚超大陆 ,是约从 1.9～ 1.5Ga由Nena ,Ur和Atlantic等 3个大陆块体群 ,通过逐步汇聚而形成的一个超级大陆。它是前罗迪尼亚古 -中元古时期的超大陆。从 1.5Ga开始的裂解作用使哥伦比亚超大陆逐步破裂 ,并在 1.0Ga左右这些破裂的大陆块体又重新汇聚形成罗迪尼亚超大陆。文中除介绍Rogers等提出的哥伦比亚超大陆的概念、组成和古大陆重建图外 ,重点阐述了中国华北古大陆 2 .0～ 1.8Ga期间吕梁—中条造山运动和 1.8～1.6Ga时期大规模裂解事件群的性质、特点和同位素年龄数据。文中提出哥伦比亚超大陆汇聚主要峰期与吕梁—中条造山运动的时限相一致 ,华北古大陆属于哥伦比亚超大陆的组成部分 ,并可能为Nena大陆块体群的一员 ,在造山及裂解事件群的性质、特点和时代等特征上 ,华北与北美、西伯利亚和西北欧有更大的相似性。     

Continental growth and reworking on the edge of the Columbia and Rodinia supercontinents; 1.86–0.9 Ga accretionary orogeny in southwest Fennoscandia

Geological history from the late Palaeoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic is dominated by the formation of the supercontinent Columbia, and its break-up and re-amalgamation into the next supercontinent, Rodinia. On a global scale, major orogenic events have been tied to the formation of either of these supercontinents, and records of extension are commonly linked to break-up events. Presented here is a synopsis of the geological evolution of southwest Fennoscandia during the ca. 1.9–0.9 Ga period. This region records a protracted history of continental growth and reworking in a long-lived accretionary orogen. Three major periods of continental growth are defined by the Transscandinavian Igneous Belt (1.86–1.66 Ga), Gothian (1.66–1.52 Ga), and Telemarkian (1.52–1.48 Ga) domains. The 1.47–1.38 Ga Hallandian–Danopolonian period featured reorganization of the subduction zone and over-riding plates, with limited evidence for continental collision. During the subsequent 1.38–1.15 Ga interval, the region is interpreted as being located inboard of a convergent margin that is not preserved today and hosted magmatism and sedimentation related to inboard extensional events. The 1.15–0.9 Ga period is host to Sveconorwegian orogenesis that marks the end of this long-lived accretionary orogen and features significant crustal deformation, metamorphism, and magmatism. Collision of an indenter, typically Amazonia, is commonly inferred for the cause of widespread Sveconorwegian orogenesis, but this remains inconclusive. An alternative is that orogenesis merely represents subduction, terrane accretion, crustal thickening, and burial and exhumation of continental crust, along an accretionary margin. During the Mesoproterozoic, southwest Fennoscandia was part of a much larger accretionary orogen that grew on the edge of the Columbia supercontinent and included Laurentia and Amazonia amongst other cratons. The chain of convergent margins along the western Pacific is the best analogue for this setting of Proterozoic crustal growth and tectonism.
