藏南错那洞淡色花岗岩年代学研究及其对藏南拆离系活动时间的限定

北喜马拉雅片麻岩穹窿带(NHGD)内保存了大陆碰撞后青藏高原中下地壳的构造变形、高级变质、陆壳深熔作用等重要信息,是研究喜马拉雅造山带的深部岩浆作用和构造变形之间的耦合关系、深部岩浆活动乃至青藏高原隆升历史等大陆动力学过程的关键部位。本文对藏南错那洞穹窿内淡色花岗岩进行锆石LA MC-ICP-MS U-Pb、白云母~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年代学和岩石地球化学分析。锆石U-Pb定年和白云母~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar测年结果表明错那洞淡色花岗岩形成于19.5±0.3Ma~19.7±0.7Ma,冷却年龄为15Ma。岩石地球化学特征显示该花岗岩具有明显的Eu负异常,稀土配分模式和微量元素蛛网图与以Manaslu为代表的高喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩一致,而不同于具有加厚地壳的埃达克岩的特征的北喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩,其形成于与南北向拆离相关的伸展环境。     

Snowmelt runoff prediction under changing climate in the Himalayan cryosphere: A case of Gilgit River Basin

There are serious concerns of rise in temperatures over snowy and glacierized Himalayan region that may eventually affect future river flows of Indus river system. It is therefore necessary to predict snow and glacier melt runoff to manage future water resource of Upper Indus Basin(UIB). The snowmelt runoff model(SRM) coupled with MODIS remote sensing data was employed in this study to predict daily discharges of Gilgit River in the Karakoram Range. The SRM was calibrated successfully and then simulation was made over four years i.e. 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 achieving coefficient of model efficiency of 0.96, 0.86, 0.9 and 0.94 respectively. The scenarios of precipitation and mean temperature developed from regional climate model PRECIS were used in SRM model to predict future flows of Gilgit River. The increase of 3 C in mean annual temperature by the end of 21 th century may result in increase of 35-40% in Gilgit River flows. The expected increase in the surface runoff from the snow and glacier melt demands better water conservation and management for irrigation and hydel-power generation in the Indus basin in future.

东喜马拉雅构造结南迦巴瓦岩群花岗质片麻岩的初步研究

野外地质填图和研究发现,东喜马拉雅构造结高喜马拉雅结晶岩系中有古老的花岗岩侵入,并在鲁霞地区圈定了9个花岗质侵入体。古老的花岗质岩石主要侵位于南迦巴瓦岩群直白岩组中,与南迦巴瓦岩群一起经历了麻粒岩相变质作用而形成花岗质片麻岩套。岩石类型有花岗闪长质片麻岩、黑云母花岗质片麻岩、闪长质片麻岩等。岩石化学研究表明这些花岗片麻岩套具“S”型特征,可能有深部幔源物质的加入。花岗岩形成深度在2～5km之间．侵位时代为552～525Ma,为新元古代晚期,属泛非期陆内演化阶段的产物。高喜马拉雅地区在元古宙末期形成了结晶基底。     

Low temperature eclogite facies rocks discovered in the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis: Poly-cyclic metamorphic evolution and implications

We report the first occurrence of poly-cyclic high-pressure low-temperature (HP-LT) rocks from the easternmost Indus-Yarlung suture zone, formed during subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere. Petrology, mineral composition and P–T pseudosection modelling reveal two low-temperature eclogite facies metamorphic events with an initial high-pressure P–T condition of 16.4–18.7 kbar and 510–520°C, exhumation to 10.5–12.0 kbar and 580–590°C and a subsequent second high-pressure P–T condition of ~16 kbar and ~560°C and exhumation to ≤9 kbar and ≤600°C. This history implies a complex ‘yo-yo type’ P–T path. In situ monazite dating and textural relationships show that late-stage exhumation, cooling and garnet breakdown occurred at c. ~25–22 Ma. We interpret the first burial event to represent subduction of the Neo-Tethys Ocean at the eastern Indus-Yarlung suture zone. Initial exhumation, reburial and final exhumation represent material transport in a large-scale convective circulation system in the subduction channel. Convective overturn in the subduction channel evidently serves both as a mechanism to produce poly-cyclic metamorphism and to exhume LT eclogite facies rocks.
