华北地块南缘白大山群的层序、时代及地质意义

笔者等近期对华北地块南缘豫皖交界处出露的一套层序连续完整的白大山群进行了剖面测制,在该套地层的碳酸盐岩中发现了中、晚奥陶世牙形刺分子Belodina compressa,Panderodus gracilis,Pseudobelodina dispansa(?)以及苔藓虫、海绵骨针、小壳类、古介形类等化石,填补了该地区一直无可靠化石记录的空白。同时依据地层层序特征、岩性组合、生物群面貌、古地理沉积环境,并结合大量灰岩薄片鉴定结果,将白大山群时代划归早古生代。同时,将华北地块南缘界限向北推移至蒋集-龙潭一线,并认为本区牙形刺生物群应属北方型牙形刺地理分区。     

1956-2003年拉萨河流域径流变化趋势

Taking the Lhasa River Basin above Lhasa hydrological station in Tibetan Plateau as a study area, the characteristics of the annual and monthly mean runoff during 1956-2003 were analyzed, based on the hydro-data of the two hydrological stations （Lhasa and Tanggya） and the meteorological data of the three meteorological stations （Damxung, Lhasa and Tanggya）. The trends and the change points of runoff and climate from 1956 to 2003 were detected using the nonparametric Mann-Kendall test and Pettitt-Mann-Whitney change-point statistics. The correlations between runoff and climate change were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The major results could be summarized as follows： （1） The annual mean runoff during the last 50 years is characterized by a great fluctuation and a positive trend with two change points （around 1970 and the early 1980s）, after which the runoff tended to increase and was increasing intensively in the last 20 years. Besides, the monthly mean runoff with a positive trend is centralized in winter half-year （November to April） and some other months （May, July and September）. （2） The trends of the climate change in the study area are generally consistent with the trend of the runoff, but the leading climate factors which aroused the runoff variation are distinct. Precipitation is the dominant factor influencing the annual and monthly mean runoff in summer half year, while temperature is the primary factor in winter season.     

阿拉善地块北缘朱拉扎嘎毛道晚二叠世火山岩的发现

研究区位于阿拉善地块北部的朱拉扎嘎毛道地区,根据前人研究,该区还未发现火山岩出露。通过对朱拉扎嘎毛道地区的岩石样品野外观察和室内薄片鉴定,确定该区存在球粒流纹岩。该套球粒流纹岩玻璃质含量较高,约75%,玻璃质呈球粒状,有脱玻化现象,其中还包含大量自形程度较高的长石颗粒,可能表明球粒流纹岩在喷发之前捕获有围岩成分。锆石U Pb年龄表明,该套球粒流纹岩的主要喷发时间为晚二叠世。根据LuHf同位素组成,U Pb年龄为240~325 Ma的锆石,εHf(t)全为负值(-39.2~-13.0),且模式年龄远远大于U Pb年龄,表明形成这套球粒流纹岩的岩浆来源于古老地壳再循环。而研究区位于华北板块西部块体的北缘,所以该套球粒流纹岩是由华北板块西部块体北缘的古老地壳物质再循环产生。     

The discovery of Neoproterozoic extensional structures and its significance for gas exploration in the Central Sichuan Block,Sichuan Basin,South China

The Central Sichuan Block(CSB) is the hardest block between the deep faults of Pujiang-Bazhong and Huaying Mountain in the central part of Sichuan Basin, which lies in the northwestern part of the upper Yangtze Craton. The CSB has long been considered as the oldest and most stable core area of Yangtze Craton, with the uniform basement and high level of hardening. Here we present a detailed interpretation of deep structures in the CSB by integrating high-resolution seismic data(approx. 50000 km2) with large-scale aeromagnetic data. Results show that eight Neoproterozoic extensional structures of different scales are nearly EW-, NEE-, and NW-trending in the CSB. Discovery of these extensional structures changes previous understanding of the CSB as a unified block. The extensional structures experienced one or two stages of extension in the longitudinal section, and filled with 3000–5000-m-thick weakly magnetic materials. Development of basal A-type granite in Weiyuan, Sichuan Basin and bimodal volcanic rocks of the Suxiong Formation, Western Sichuan confirms the CSB's Neoproterozoic extensional tectonic setting. The newly discovered Neoproterozoic extensional structures are of great significance for source rock and favorable sedimentary facies distribution, reservoir development, and gas accumulation.     

青藏高原松潘—西秦岭—临夏盆地深地震反射剖面——采集、处理与初步解释

由于印度洋板块向亚欧板块俯冲使青藏高原不断隆起,其形成不仅导致了亚洲大陆内部强烈的晚新生代构造变形,还对其边缘地区的地貌格局产生重大影响.青藏高原东北缘是青藏高原向北东方向扩展的前缘部位,是印度与欧亚两大板块碰撞作用由近南北方向向北东、东方向转换的重要场所.本文利用2004年和2008年完成的深地震反射剖面资料,采用关键处理技术和参数开展唐克-合作剖面与合作-临夏剖面联线处理,获得总长约400 km的深地震反射剖面,完整揭示了西秦岭造山带及其两侧盆地的地壳结构和构造变形样式.结果显示西秦岭造山带下地壳向若尔盖逆冲推覆的深部构造特征;西秦岭下地壳北倾的强反射及其北侧南倾的强反射特征揭示出扬子与华北两个大陆板块在西秦岭造山带下的汇聚行为.Moho的埋深和起伏形态表明青藏高原东北缘地壳经历了高原隆升后强烈的伸展减薄作用.     

The structural evolution of the Northern Hastings Block and southern Nambucca Block,southern New England Orogen,eastern Australia

The Hastings Block is a weakly cleaved and complexly folded and faulted terrain made up of Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The map pattern of bedding suggests a major boundary exists that divides the Hastings Block into northern and southern parts. Bedding north of this boundary defines an upright box-like Parrabel Anticline that plunges gently northwest. Four cleavage/fold populations are recognised namely: E–W-striking, steeply dipping cleavage S₁ that is axial surface to gently to moderately E- or W-plunging; F₁ folds that were re-oriented during the formation of the Parrabel Anticline with less common N–S-trending, steeply dipping cleavage S₂, axial surface to gently to moderately N-plunging F₂ folds; poorly developed NW–SE-striking, steeply dipping cleavage S₃ axial surface to mesoscopic, mainly NW-plunging F₃ folds; and finally_, a weakly developed NE–SW-striking, steeply dipping S₄ cleavage formed axial surface to mainly NE-plunging F₄. The Parrabel Anticline is considered to have formed during the D₃ deformation. The more intense development of S₂ and S₃ on the western margin of the Northern Hastings Block reflects increasing strain related to major shortening of the sequences adjacent to the Tablelands Complex during the Hunter–Bowen Orogeny. The pattern of multiple deformation we have recorded is inconsistent with previous suggestions that the Hastings Block is part of an S-shaped orocline folded about near vertically plunging axes.     

Parallel and scalable block system generation

Generating a realistic representation of a fractured rock mass is a first step in many different analyses. Field observations need to be translated into a 3-D model that will serve as the input for these analyses. The block systems can contain hundreds of thousands to millions of blocks of varying sizes and shapes; generating these large models is very computationally expensive and requires significant computing resources.By taking advantage of the advances made in big data analytics and Cloud Computing, we have a developed an open-source program—SparkRocks—that generates block systems in parallel. The application runs on Apache Spark which enables it to run locally, on a compute cluster or the Cloud. The block generation is based on a subdivision and linear programming optimization as introduced by Boon et al. (2015). SparkRocks automatically maintains load balance among parallel processes and can be scaled up on the Cloud without having to make any changes to the underlying implementation, enabling it to generate real-world scale block systems containing millions of blocks in minutes.     

用块体应变能预测强震位置与震级的研究

综合地质构造、岩体力学性质、应力应变状态及其演化历史等各种因素将其统归为应变能积累特征对强震活动进行研究。对利用形变空间特征变化判断强震震源区位置的方法进行了讨论并确认其可行性,提出估算块体应变能的方法。由新构造划分块体边界、地壳测深确定底面进而确定块体体积、形变测量确定年平均应变速率、地壳速度构造确定弹性常数、历史强震确定能量积累起点(起始时间),由此估算块体积累总应变能,进而依据能量估算地震震级。最后以实例论述应变能积累特点对强震位置和震级预测的良好效果以及对地震安全性评价的重要意义。     

Paleomagnetism of the Late Cretaceous ignimbrite from the Okhotsk-Chukotka Volcanic Belt,Kolyma-Omolon Composite Terrane: Tectonic implications

New Late Cretaceous paleomagnetic results from the Okhotsk-Chukotka Volcanic Belt in the Kolyma-Omolon Composite Terrane yield stable and consistent remanent directions. The Late Cretaceous (86–81 Ma) ignimbrites from the Kholchan and Ola suites were sampled at 19 sites in the Magadan area (60.4° N, 151.0° E). We isolated the characteristic paleomagnetic directions from 16 sampled sites using an alternating field demagnetization procedure. The primary nature of these directions is ascertained by dual polarities and positive fold tests. A tilt-corrected mean direction (D = 42.8°, I = 84.7°, k = 46.0, α₉₅ = 10.0°) yields a paleomagnetic pole of 66.7° N, 168.5° E (A₉₅ = 18.8°) which appears almost identical to the 90–67 Ma pole reported from the Lake El’gygytgyn area of the Okhotsk-Chukotka Volcanic Belt (Chukotka Terrane). This consistency suggests that the Kolyma-Omolon Composite Terrane and Chukotka Terrane has acted as a single tectonic unit since 80 Ma without any significant internal deformation. Accordingly, we calculate a combined 80 Ma characteristic paleomagnetic pole (Long. = 164.7° E, Lat. = 68.0°, A₉₅ = 10.9°, N = 12) for the Kolyma-Omolon-Chukotka Block which falls 16.5–17.5° south of the same age poles from Europe and East Asia. We ascribe this discrepancy in pole positions to tectonic activity in the area and infer a southward displacement of 1640 ± 1380 km for the Kolyma-Omolon-Chukotka Block with respect to the North American and Eurasian blocks since 80 Ma; more than 260 km of it is attributed to tectonic displacement in the Arctic Ocean due to the opening of the Canadian Basin.
