西藏纳木错第四纪湖泊沉积与湖成地貌--兼论藏北高原古大湖问题

对西藏面积最大的湖泊——纳木错湖相沉积野外现察结果，发现了由水平层理十分发育的砂与粘土所组成的、高出湖面分别为3—12m、15—22m、25—30m与35—45m的4级湖岸阶地，覆于基岩之上、高出湖面60—150m的湖相沉积和多达50条左右、由扁圆湖滨相砾石所组成的湖岸堤，环湖广泛分布的湖成地貌。在连结纳木错与其西北的仁错约玛、仁错贡玛、久如错的分水岭宽谷底部(分别高出上述3湖20m、90m与60m)与北侧山坡，即纳木错的第二与第三级湖岸阶地，发现了组成阶地与异堤的湖相与湖滨相沉积。从而确证了纳木错与仁错-久如锴曾多次连通，即数度成为一个统一的大湖，而不是以河道相连的不同湖泊。古大湖分离时代为末次冰期间冰段。     

Epiclastic deposits and ‘horseshoe-shaped’ calderas in Tahiti (Society Islands) and Ua Huka (Marquesas Archipelago), French Polynesia

Occurrences of debris avalanche deposits newly identified in Tahiti (Society Islands) and Ua Huka (Marquesas Archipelago) are described and interpreted here. In both islands, the breccias are located within horseshoe-shaped residual calderas. In Tahiti, the epiclastic formations, up to 500 m thick, lie on the floor of the central depression and in the valley of the northwards running Papenoo River. In Ua Huka, the breccias crop out within a depression limited by a semicircular crest in four bays along the southern coast. Their thickness is ca. 100 m. A few clasts collected in the Tahitian breccias and some rocks forming their substratum have been dated (K–Ar datings) and analysed (major and trace elements, Sr–Nd isotopes) for this study. Using these data, we show that the debris avalanche(s) occurred in Tahiti Nui at the end of the growth of the shield volcano (between 570 000 and 390 000 years ago), maybe in consequence of the emplacement of the plutonic body which occupies the central part of the caldera. In Ua Huka, the collapse took place nearly 3 Ma ago, between the construction of the shield volcano and that of the inner one. The southwards orientation of the caldera, like that of the neighbouring island Nuku Hiva, might reflect a preferential direction of weakness in the substratum of the central Marquesas.     

新疆若羌县红十井金矿地质特征及深部成矿预测

铜陵-安庆地区若干热液矿床成矿流体研究

文章在研究铜陵狮子山燕山期岩浆热液叠加矿床成矿流体的基础上，对比铜陵-安庆地区燕山期其他类型矿床的成矿流体，系统探讨了该区燕山期热液矿床成矿流体体系，从夕卡岩型、斑岩型、高温热液型至低温脉型矿床成矿流体的演化规律。认为成矿流体温度、盐度逐渐降低，流体来源从单纯的岩浆来源变为岩浆与雨水的混合来源，成矿流体沸腾作用随之减弱。这些典型矿床基本代表了铜陵-安庆地区燕山期热液成矿体系。

Recharge processes: piston flow vs preferential flow in semi-arid aquifers of India

Study of groundwater recharge processes is vital for quantification of total natural recharge to the aquifers. One of the recharge processes demonstrated earlier by tracer experiments in the unsaturated zone is that of piston flow movement of soil moisture. Based on this recharge process, environmental tritium, chloride and injected tritium studies have been carried out extensively in various geological environs of India. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the validity of the piston flow concept in different geological environs viz. consolidated fractured and weathered granites, semi-consolidated sandstones and unconsolidated alluvial tracts, and quantify the contribution from this process as well as that from the preferential flow mechanism using different tracers. Analysis of tracer data demonstrates that the preferential flow recharge process contributes very significantly (an average of 75% of total recharge) in the case of fractured granites and is important (an average of 33% of total recharge) for semi-consolidated sandstones, whereas the preferential flow recharge component is minimal in unconsolidated alluvial tracts (piston flow model is applicable). These findings necessitate re-evaluation of the total natural recharge potential of the above mentioned geological environs in view of the significant preferential flow recharge that is evidenced and estimated.

Alluvial deposits of a mud-dominated stream: the Red River, Manitoba, Canada

Abstract The Red River, Manitoba, is a mud‐dominated, meandering stream that occupies a shallow valley eroded into a clay plain. The valley‐bottom alluvium is the product of incision and lateral migration of river meanders. As revealed by a transect of five boreholes located across the floodplain at each of two successive river meanders, the alluvial deposits range from about 15 to 22 m thick and are composed primarily of silt. Sedimentary structures in the cores are weakly defined and consist mostly of beds of massive silt, thick (>0·4 m) massive silt and disturbed silt. Interlaminated sand and silt, and sand beds form relatively minor deposits, principally within the lower half of the alluvium, and thin beds of medium‐coarse sand and pea gravel can be present locally within the lower metre of the alluvium. The alluvium is interpreted to consist of overbank deposits from 0 to 2–3 m depth, oblique accretion deposits from 2–3 to 8–12 m depth and oblique accretion and/or channel deposits from 8–12 m to the base of the sequence. The massive bedding within the oblique accretion deposits is interpreted to represent the remnants of couplet deposits that were initially composed of interbedded, muddy silt and sand‐sized silt aggregates, as is consistent with the contemporary bank sedimentation. The post‐depositional disintegration and/or compaction of the aggregates has caused the loss of the sand‐sized texture. The disturbed silt beds are interpreted as slump structures caused by large‐scale rotational failures along the convex banks. Overall, the Red River represents a portion of a continuum of muddy, fine‐grained streams; where the alluvium lacks a distinct coarse unit, oblique accretion deposits form a majority of the floodplain, and large‐scale slump features are present.
