Learning from the systematic approach to aquaculture zoning in South Australia: A case study of aquaculture (Zones – Lower Eyre Peninsula) Policy 2013

South Australia is among the regions internationally, where there are currently strong drivers for anthropogenic and ecosystem marine planning decisions. Specifically, South Australia, in both State and adjacent Commonwealth Waters, is currently accommodating increasing interests such as oil exploration by multi-national companies in the Great Australian Bight, implementation of recently declared State Marine Parks, an increased public awareness of marine developments, commissioning of a desalinisation plant, government-focused marine science initiatives, long-standing commercial fisheries, a transparent legislative and political stage, and a relatively new aquaculture industry. Amongst this growing diversity in marine-based activities, a dedicated aquaculture legislative framework was created in South Australia with the commencement of the Aquaculture Act 2001 (the Act) to centralise the legislative processes required to underpin aquaculture regulation and administration. This centralisation has helped to create an effective platform to streamline administrative processes, reduce duplication between various government agencies such as planning authorities and environment protection agencies, and ultimately fostered investment in, and growth of, the South Australian aquaculture industry. As such Aquaculture zone policies are a key strategic management tool for sustainable aquaculture development in South Australia into the future. This paper provides a case study (Aquaculture (Zones – Lower Eyre Peninsula) Policy 2013) of the legislated regional marine planning framework for aquaculture development used in South Australia, with a focus on the key functions and processes that may have broader applications.     

空间因子分析与沉积地球化学旋回元素组合的确定

１９９５年５月,引用地矿部“七五”东北太平洋ＣＣＡ１２１柱状沉积物的８个元素地球化学分析数据,利用空间因子分析方法确定两种周期度（Ｄ１＝６５ｃｍ,Ｄ２＝１０５ｃｍ）内的沉积地球化学旋回元素组合,并据此探讨多金属结核成矿与物源环境的关系,研究表明,与小尺度周期（Ｄ１＝６５ｃｍ）对应的元素组合：Ｕｄ１（Ｍｎ,Ｃｏ,Ｃｕ,Ａｌ２Ｏ３,ＳｉＯ２和Ｕｄ２（Ｆｅ,Ｃａ,Ｃｏ,Ｃｕ）与大尺度周期对应的元素组合为     

用离散单元法评价采煤巷道地面建筑适宜性

根据建筑物下部采煤巷道的断面尺寸、位置及埋深等地质条件,针对地面拟建建筑物的特点,分别应用二维及三维离散单元方法,对工程场地的地面变形进行了定量评价,得出了地面建筑物在巷道影响下的水平位移量及竖向位移量。结果分析认为,地下巷道的存在不会对上部建筑物造成威胁,仅会产生微小沉降变形。同时提出了一些工程安全措施,为工程建设的顺利实施提供了必要依据。     

哈拉湖岩芯XRF扫描元素统计分析及其环境意义

青藏高原东北缘高山湖泊哈拉湖是位于季风与西风影响的交汇带的封闭深水湖泊,是区域环境和气候变化的良好记录载体。目前对该湖的研究还较少,缺乏对沉积物中元素环境意义的系统认识。通过高分辨率XRF岩芯扫描,用相关、聚类和因子分析的方法对哈拉湖沉积岩芯地球化学元素进行分析。结果显示Ti、K、Si、Al、Fe、Mn等元素变化一致,相关性高,归为同一类,即径流输入的陆源碎屑组分,反映了流域水文状况如径流量的变化。Sr、Zr元素相关性高,为赋存在粗颗粒沉积物中的元素,根据哈拉湖实际,应为冬季湖泊冰面风力搬运,反映了湖区冬季风力强度的变化。Ca元素既与径流输入元素总体变化一致,也与Sr、Zr元素显著相关,且在第一和第二主成分(径流和风力)上的载荷相当,表明哈拉湖沉积物中的碳酸盐既有粗颗粒的外源碎屑,也有湖泊自生的组分,这在利用碳酸盐进行地球化学研究时应重视,注意去除外源碎屑碳酸盐的影响。可溶元素S和Cl可能反映了入湖水量与蒸发对比情况,与湖泊盐度有关。     

On the origin of bleaching phenomena in red bed sediments of Triassic Buntsandstein deposits in Central Germany

The Lower Triassic Buntsandstein in Central Germany comprises one of the major clastic, lithified hydrocarbon reservoirs, it is a major groundwater aquifer and it is considered as a potential underground gas storage lithology. Thus, sandstones of the Buntsandstein from Thuringia and NE Hesse were used to analyse their geochemical composition combined with mineralogical data in order to investigate the origin of several bleaching phenomena in primary red beds, since these give a hint for mineral alteration, mineral formation and mineral reactivity in the course of fluid-rock-interactions. This is relevant for e.g. recent Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) efforts. The origin of the observed bleaching phenomena is diverse and it is linked to certain stages of diagenesis and different episodes of fluid flow: (1) eodiagenetic bleaching coupled with palaeosoil formation and iron mobilisation, (2) mesodiagenetic bleaching as a result of hydrocarbon migration, (3) Tertiary bleaching due to CO₂ degassing from Miocene volcanism, (4) Tertiary telodiagenetic bleaching due to weathering under humid climate conditions, and (5) weathering processes related to recent telodiagenesis/pedogenesis. This study emphasizes the multiple nature of fluids, which can induce iron mobilisation and bleaching of red beds.     

滇东北富乐铅锌矿床微量元素和S-Pb同位素地球化学研究

富乐铅锌矿床位于我国西南川滇黔铅锌多金属矿集区的东南部,矿体呈层状、透镜状赋存于中二叠统阳新组白云岩中,受层间破碎带控制。该矿床铅锌金属资源量超过50万吨,铅锌平均品位大于15. 6%。碳酸盐岩围岩溶蚀、重结晶和热液角砾岩化是该矿床普遍发育的热液蚀变类型,是酸性热液流体与碳酸盐岩围岩化学反应的结果。热液白云岩在成矿期前、成矿期和成矿期后都可形成,晚期形成的热液白云岩往往会部分替换早期形成的白云石,热液沿裂隙充填过程中,会引起围岩重结晶作用,形成明显的蚀变晕。矿石中主要硫化物包括闪锌矿、方铅矿和黄铁矿,伴有少量的黄铜矿和黝铜矿,白云石和方解石是主要脉石矿物。矿石的主要构造有致密块状、浸染状、脉状和角砾状。本次工作在富乐矿床厘定出三种颜色闪锌矿,即黑色、红色和棕色。LA-ICPMS研究表明,三种颜色闪锌矿中Cd、Cu、Ga和Ge等元素不同程度富集,而Fe、Mn和In等元素有不同程度亏损。在LA-ICPMS时间分辨率剖面图中,上述元素均呈水平直线出现,与Zn和S等主要元素的含量曲线平行,表明它们可能以类质同象形式赋存于闪锌矿中。而Sb、Pb和Ag等元素在LA-ICPMS时间分辨率剖面图中,呈较大波动趋势,暗示这些元素可能以微细粒包体存在,这与显微观测发现闪锌矿中有方铅矿微小矿物颗粒相吻合。本研究初步认为富乐闪锌矿颜色可能是Ni、Cu、Tl、Ga、Hg、Fe和Cr等多种元素共同引起的,其中Ni、Cu和Ga使闪锌矿呈紫色,Cu使闪锌矿呈红色,Ga使闪锌矿呈黄色。三种颜色闪锌矿样品的硫同位素组成变化较小,其δ~(34)S值变化范围为12. 2‰～14. 6‰,具有富集34S特征,与二叠系海相硫酸盐的δ~(34)S值相似,暗示热化学硫酸盐还原作用(TSR)可能是该矿床HS~-或S~(2-)离子形成的主要机制。不同颜色闪锌矿的~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb、~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb和~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb值分别为15. 604～15. 737、18. 570～18. 732和38. 532～38. 667。大部分闪锌矿的Pb同位素组成与基底昆阳群浅变质岩石的Pb同位素组成相似,少量闪锌矿具有与峨眉山玄武岩和赋矿沉积岩相似的Pb同位素组成,表明富乐铅锌矿床的成矿金属主要来源于基底岩石,并可能受到沉积岩和玄武岩的影响。综上所述,本文认为富乐铅锌矿床是一个形成于挤压背景下、受层间构造控制的高品位、富分散元素后生碳酸盐岩容矿型铅锌矿床。

西天山巴音布鲁克地区早古生代成矿地质环境:岩浆岩及其时代和元素同位素约束

西天山位于中亚造山带(CAOB)西南部,是其重要组成部分。CAOB晚古生代金属成矿环境和过程尤为典型,但早古生代成矿地质环境还不甚清楚。新疆巴音布鲁克地区出露(原定时代晚志留世)巴音布鲁克组火山岩夹浅海相碎屑岩和灰岩,是认识西天山早古生代成矿地质环境的难得对象。巴音布鲁克组出露于Nikolaev-那拉提山北缘断裂与Atbash-Inylchek-那拉提山南缘断裂之间的中天山,在巴音布鲁克地区典型发育,火山岩包括玄武岩、玄武安山岩、英安岩、流纹岩及相应的火山碎屑岩,其中侵入岩有正长斑岩和花岗闪长岩。LA-ICP-MS测得玄武安山岩、英安岩、正长斑岩、花岗闪长岩、流纹岩锆石U-Pb年龄分别为455.6±8.1Ma、444.5±1.9Ma、441.4±1.6Ma、455.4±5.3Ma、424±1.9Ma,岩浆活动于晚奥陶-早志留世,喷出和侵入时代接近,原定巴音布鲁克组地层时代晚志留世应改为晚奥陶-早志留世。这些岩浆岩具有相似的稀土元素地球化学特征,微量元素相比原始地幔均亏损Nb、Ta、P、Ti。玄武岩正的ε(t)=+1.6~+6.7,低的(~(87)~Sr/~(86)NdSr)i=0.70377~0.70489,指示岩浆源区具有亏损地幔特征,弱的Zr-Hf负异常,低的Th/Nb比值,较窄的同位素变化范围暗示地壳混染并不显著,微量元素及铅同位素特征(~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb=18.26~18.77,~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb=15.63~15.69,~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb=38.21~38.34)表明岩浆源区可能是俯冲流体及洋底沉积物交代的地幔楔橄榄岩部分熔融成因。西天山巴音布鲁克地区早古生代岩浆岩应是南天山洋晚奥陶-早志留世向北向中天山陆块之下俯冲在中天山-伊犁板块南缘活动大陆边缘的岩浆产物,指示了陆缘岩浆弧环境。这种陆缘弧环境有利于斑岩铜金成矿系统发育,值得高度关注相关铜金矿的地质找矿。     

Fault type analysis along the San Andreas Fault zone: A numerical approach

Finite Element (FE) modeling under plane stress condition is used to analyze the fault type variation with depth along and around the San Andreas Fault (SAF) zone. In this simulation elastic rheology was used and was thought justifiable as the variation in depth from 0.5 km to 20 km was considered. Series of calculations were performed with the variation in domain properties. Three types of models were created based on simple geological map of California, namely, 1) single domain model considering whole California as one homogeneous domain, 2) three domains model including the North American plate, Pacific plate, and SAF zone as separate domains, and 3) Four domains model including the three above plus the Garlock Fault zone. Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and Byerlee's law were used for the calculation of failure state. All the models were driven by displacement boundary condition imposing the fixed North American plate and Pacific plate motion along N34°W vector up to the northern terminus of SAF and N50°E vector motion for the subducting the Gorda and Juan de Fuca plates. Our simulated results revealed that as the depth increased, the fault types were generally normal, and at shallow depth greater strike slip and some thrust faults were formed. It is concluded that SAF may be terminated as normal fault at depth although the surface expression is clearly strike slip.
