新生代深海冷水碳酸盐泥丘成因及IODP 307航次初步研究结果

记述了新生代深海冷水碳酸盐泥丘近期的9个重要研究事件;总结了冷水泥丘具有全球海洋(大陆斜坡为主)分布、形态各异、冷水枝状珊瑚构筑泥丘的特点;介绍了冷水泥丘形成的(地质流体渗流和微生物作用)内因及(海底牵引底流作用)外因两种主要观点.对2005年IODP 307航次实施的北大西洋Porcupine Seabight冷水泥丘大洋钻探工作初步成果进行了编译,公布了中国科学家在碳氧同位素方面的初步实验结果.实验结果显示上新世中期以来的2 Ma里冷水碳酸盐泥丘启动和发育过程中存在2次碳氧同位素偏移事件(Ⅰ和Ⅱ),碳氧同位素偏移事件Ⅰ与泥丘的启动相呼应,暗示北大西洋古海洋气候发生巨大变化,可能与北极冰盖极盛有关.     

北大西洋IODP U1313站深海沉积中环境敏感粒度组分研究

通过对北大西洋 IODP U1313站深海沉积序列高密度取样和粒度分析,利用粒级-标准偏差变化算法和EMD方法提取了对环境敏感粒度组分并探讨了气候变化的周期。本文粒度组分可分为细组分( 1.73μm,组分Ⅱ),其中粗组分又分为组分Ⅱ a(1.73~34.26μm)和组分Ⅱ b( >34.26μm)。综合分析认为: 组分Ⅰ为西风环流搬运堆积形成,组分Ⅱ为洋流搬运下沉积形成,组分Ⅱ b虽然含量较低,但能指示冰漂砾事件的发生。比值曲线组分Ⅰ/组分Ⅱ和组分Ⅰ/组分Ⅱ a波动幅度较大,可作为反映古气候冷暖波动的敏感指标。对组分Ⅱ、组分Ⅰ/组分Ⅱ进行EMD分解,结果表明: 在本研究时段内,两指标对地球轨道三要素的周期体现均不明显,而2ka(2.12ka和2.15ka)的亚轨道千年周期是主要的周期之一。依据上述多个指标的波动情况,把研究剖面69.93~115.18mcd(1471.53~2415.60ka)分为9个古气候变化阶段: A阶段(1471.53~1640.09ka),对应深海氧同位素阶段(MIS)49~57,冰期和间冰期迅速转换,发生多次IRD事件; B阶段(1640.09~1865.57ka),对应MIS 58~69,间冰期显著而冰期不明显; C阶段(1865.57~1914.70ka),对应MIS 70~72,冰期显著而间冰期不明显; D阶段(1914.70~2021.13ka),对应MIS 73~76,冰期不显著;E阶段(2021.13~2092.21ka),对应MIS 77~78,冰期显著,发生多次IRD事件; F阶段(2092.21~2226.43ka),对应MIS 79~85,间冰期显著; G阶段(2226.43~2261.53ka),对应MIS 86期,发生多次IRD事件; H阶段(2261.53~2384.61ka),对应MIS 87~93,冰期不显著而间冰期显著; I阶段(2384.61~2415.60ka),对应MIS 94~95,发生多次IRD事件。     

Inspirations from IODP Expedition 361

International Ocean Discovery Program, or present IODP that has been evolved from the early Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP), Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) is one of the international ocean drilling and exploration programs originated from USA. IODP 361 cruse supported by JOIDES Resolution is characterized of high maneuverability, high tectonic integrity, high comprehensive disciplinary, information aggregation, international researcher gathering, global study targeting, quantity study production, isolated close working environments and huge investment, which is one of the most important international cooperation platforms of the geosciences, especially global changes. It is also one of the super powerful engines not only guiding but also pushing the study on global change via exploring the records of ocean evolution, and also the fountainhead to understand the processes and mechanism of the global changes. As one the main members of the IODP, China is not only participating the activities and scientific researches of IODP, but also needs to improve the capabilities to monitor the ocean and establish our own facilities, laboratories and research centers. These are not only very important for the global research and the future development, but also crucial for the preservation of the ocean environment. Leaning and mastering mature operation models from the JOIDES Resolution, using the experience of IODP management for reference may benefit our research work and yield twice the result with half the effort.     

Ecohydrological responses to surface flow across borders: Two decades of changes in vegetation greenness and water use in the riparian corridor of the Colorado River delta

Hydrological and bioclimatic processes that lead to drought may stress plants and wildlife, restructure plant community type and architecture, increase monotypic stands and bare soils, facilitate the invasion of non-native plant species and accelerate soil erosion. Our study focuses on the impact of a paucity of Colorado River surface flows from the United States (U.S.) to Mexico. We measured change in riparian plant greenness and water use over the past two decades using remotely sensed measurements of vegetation index (VI), evapotranspiration (ET) and a new annualized phenology assessment metric (PAM) for ET. We measure these long-term (2000–2019) metrics and their short-term (2014–2019) response to an environmental pulse flow in 2014, as prescribed under Minute 319 of the 1944 Water Treaty between the two nations. In subsequent years, small-directed flows were provided to restoration areas under Minute 323. We use 250 m MODIS and 30 m Landsat imagery to evaluate three vegetation indices (NDVI, EVI, EVI2). We select EVI2 to parameterize an optical-based ET algorithm and test the relationship between ET from Landsat and MODIS by regression approaches. Our analyses show significant decreases in VIs and ET for both the 20-year and post-pulse 5-year periods. Over the last 20 years, EVI _Landsat declined 34% (30% by EVI_MODIS) and ET_Landsat-EVI declined 38% (27% by ET_MODIS-EVI), overall ca. 1.61 mm/day or 476 mm/year drop in ET; using PAM ET_Landsat-EVI the drop was from 1130 to 654 mm/year. Over the 5 years since the 2014 pulse flow, EVI_Landsat declined 20% (13% by EVI_MODIS) and ET_Landsat-EVI declined 23% (4% by ET_MODIS-EVI) with a 0.77 mm/day or a 209 mm/year 5-year drop in ET; using PAM ET_Landsat-EVI the drop was from 863 to 654 mm/year. Data and change maps show the pulse flow contributed enough water to slow the rate of loss, but only for the very short-term (1–2 years). These findings are critically important as they suggest further deterioration of biodiversity, wildlife habitat and key ecosystem services due to anthropogenic diversions of water in the U.S. and Mexico and from land clearing, fires and plant-related drought which affect hydrological processes.

南海北部深海盆地上中新统浊积砂体物源分析*

IODP367/368航次在南海北部深海盆地多个站位发现上中新统厚达数百米的大规模深海浊积岩。采用碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱系分析方法对U1500站上中新统浊积砂体进行源汇对比分析。研究结果表明U1500站上中新统浊积岩碎屑锆石年龄谱系与其西侧琼东南盆地和北侧珠江口盆地中新世沉积物特征类似。多维排列分析(MDS)结果也显示,该站位样品与珠江口盆地、琼东南盆地沉积物关系密切,表明南海北部深海盆地内厚达数百米的上中新统浊积砂体为南海北部物源和南海西部物源混合堆积形成。南海西部陆源输入物质以浊流搬运的方式,沿中央峡谷从西到东搬运至南海东部深海盆地;南海北部珠江物源以重力流的形式,经南海北部陆坡峡谷搬运至深海盆地中,两种来源的沉积物在深海盆地发生混合沉积,形成U1500站厚达数百米的浊积砂体。南海北部深海盆地厚层浊积砂体物质来源的准确识别,对深刻理解南海新生代盆地的构造演化、沉积物充填过程、物源演变以及古地理特征均具有重要意义。     

中国加入国际大洋钻探计划的4年回顾

国际大洋钻探计划（ODP，1985－2003）及其前身深海钻探计划（DSDP，1968－1983），是20世纪地球科学规模最大、历时最久的国际合作研究计划，30余年来一直是推动学科发展的前沿，导致了学科的一场革命。我国经国务院领导批准于1998年春正式加入大洋钻探计划，年付50万美金，成为第一个“参与成员”（Associated Member)。4年来，已经取得重大进展。（1）成功地在南海实施了ODP184航次。这次在我国科学家建议、设计和主持下的航次在南海二、三千米深水区的6个站位取岩心5000多米，实现了中国海大洋钻探零的突破，使我国一举进入国际深海研究的前沿。在航次结束后的研究中，我国取得的成果也遥遥领先，不仅在不同时间尺度上取得了西太平洋区迄今为止最佳的深海沉积记录，而且在气候演变周期性、亚洲季风变迁和南海盆地演化等方面也获得了大量创新成果，其中包括学术上的突破性进展，目前正在逐步向国际学术界展示中。（2）促进了我国深海基础研究及其基地建设。加入ODP4年来，我国深海基础研究迅速发展，继国家自然科学基金重大项目（东亚古季风的海洋记录）后，又于2000年底启动了国家重点基础研究规划项目（地球圈层相互作用中的深海过程和深海记录），并实现了“深海“973”项目和“大洋专项”的相互结合，已有教育部、中科院、海洋局、国土资源部等10多个实验室或研究所在不同程度上加入深海基础研究，其中包括至少6所重点大学，已经初步建成了以深海研究为重要目标的重点实验室，初步涌现出一批有成就的青年科学家。（3）啊我国在有关国际学术界的地位。尽管我国支付的成员费只占ODP整个预算的百分之一强，但是，4年来所起的作用已远不以此为限，特别在筹备新的“整合大洋钻探”计划中，我国代表在有关专业组中的席位已应邀由2个增至4个，仅2001年春以来一年内就有3次大洋钻探的国附我国举行。4年来，在ODP和筹备中的IODP方面，至少有6批共数十人次访华，是20世纪90年代新加入ODP成员中最为活跃的一个。大洋钻探是一项长周期、高层次的国际科研计划，4年来我国以南海航次为中心的研究成果刚开始产出，预计近两年内将达到高潮，而随此建立起来的队伍和基地也可望在未来几年在更大领域范围内进入国际前沿，取得新的重大进展。     

Development of the Western Boundary Undercurrent at Eirik Drift related to changing climate since the early Miocene

Eirik Drift lies on the slope south of Greenland, where it has been formed under the influence of the Western Boundary Undercurrent (WBUC) closely downstream of its origin in the deep-water formation centres of the Nordic Seas. Therefore, the sediment record at Eirik Drift documents modifications in pathways and intensity of the WBUC. These modifications reflect alterations in deep-water formation in the Nordic Seas and are therefore coupled with climate changes. Based on the seismostratigraphic analysis of sedimentary architecture identified in a set of high-resolution seismic reflection data, we have reconstructed the palaeocirculation of the WBUC at Eirik Drift since the early Miocene. We revealed a strong WBUC during warm climate conditions, and in phases of climate cooling with enhanced sea-ice extent we interpreted weak WBUC influence. We suggest a southward shift of the deep-water formation regions along with a shift of the deep current system during the cool phases. This shift implies that the main North Atlantic Deep Water route affected Eirik Drift only during warm phases and that during cool phases weak branches of the circulation system flowed over Eirik Drift.

发震带试验(SEIZE)

对发震带试验计划(SEIZE)以及南海（Nankai）海槽的发震带钻探计划（NanTroSEIZE）进行了综述。SEIZE作为大陆边缘计划(MARGINS)的重要研究内容和综合大洋钻探计划（IODP）的优先研究领域,重点对世界主要俯冲发震带进行研究。SEIZE的主要研究内容包括：①凸凹体的物理性质;②在地震周期里,应力、应变和孔隙流体成分随时间的变化;③在俯冲逆冲断层上,发震带上界和下界的确定;④引起海啸的发震带的特征;⑤大型逆冲带地震在物质转换过程中所起的作用。NanTroSEIZE将成为IODP第一个基于立管钻探的计划,也是科学大洋钻探历史上第一个分期实施的复合钻探计划;钻入发震带的复合钻探计划将最终验证关于发震带的各种假说。 
