晚三叠世留山盆地沉积特征与构造环境分析

本文在实测剖面的基础上,通过薄片观察、粒度分析和阴极发光测试等手段,以沉积相的研究为切入点,将沉积作用和构造作用紧密联系,分析了留山盆地的沉积特征和构造性质。研究表明,留山盆地上三叠统沉积相主要为扇三角洲相,经历了早期的退积作用和晚期的进积作用。沉积相的演化和源区分析综合表现出,留山盆地是一个孤立的陆相盆地,沉积物来源主要为盆地周围的造山带物质。盆地演化经历了盆地形成阶段、平稳沉降阶段、快速沉降阶段和快速充填阶段,其构造动力与盆地周缘的构造作用强度相呼应。盆地性质可能为压坳性盆地,进而推测留山盆地是华北与扬子板块在晚三叠世碰撞期间向南大规模推覆而产生的背驼式盆地。     

海洋沉积物中色素生物标志物研究进展

海洋沉积物中的光合色素包含着水体、沉积物中浮游和底栖植物以及微生物群落的丰富信息,能表征特定生物来源,在埋藏到沉积物甚至发生某些改变之后仍然保留其源信息,是一类重要的化学生物标志物.结合总有机碳、总氮等其他海洋地球化学参数,沉积色素可用来研究海洋浮游植物和光合细菌的群落组成和丰度,反演海洋初级生产、水体富营养化水平及其历史趋势,指示水体和沉积物氧化还原条件,揭示海域气候条件等现状及其历史变化.沉积色素的研究,对于掌握海洋中碳的生物地球化学循环过程,回溯古环境、古海洋、古生态以及古气候记录,制定合理的海洋管理政策具有十分重要的意义.阐述了沉积物中色素的分类、来源、性质和分析方法,分析了色素在沉积物中的保存和变化规律,探讨总结了沉积色素作为化学生物标志物在海洋学研究中的应用.

黄铁矿特征研究可为页岩沉积环境恢复与页岩气富集保存规律预测提供依据。以贵州岑巩地区岑页1井牛蹄塘组为研究对象,基于岩心、薄片、扫描电镜及微量元素、硫同位素地球化学,确定牛蹄塘组页岩沉积环境及页岩气富集地质条件。研究表明,牛蹄塘组页岩黄铁矿发育为草莓状、自形-半自形及他形(主要为胶状他形)三种形态,不同形态的黄铁矿形成于不同沉积环境,草莓状黄铁矿形成于缺氧还原环境,自形-半自形黄铁矿形成于贫氧环境,胶状他形黄铁矿指示沉积过程有热液活动的参与。测试井牛蹄塘组整体处于较开放的沉积水体,上段为含氧-贫氧环境,硫同位素整体变轻且发生负漂;中段为较缺氧环境,硫同位素跨度大且发生正漂;下段为还原性更强的沉积环境,硫同位素小幅度负漂。黄铁矿含量与有机质富集密切相关,与黄铁矿有关的孔隙为页岩气吸附、保存及运移提供载体,且草莓状黄铁矿指示的缺氧硫化环境更利于有机质保存。研究工作系统梳理了黄铁矿对牛蹄塘组页岩沉积环境及储层页岩气富集的指示作用,为页岩气勘探提供指示。     

A new gnetalean macrofossil from the Early Cretaceous and its evolutionary significance

Modern gnetophytes consist of three families, i.e. the Ephedraceae, the Gnetaceae, and the Welwitschiaceae, which show diversified morphology. The basal group Ephedraceae possesses an extremely reduced female cone with only the uppermost pair/whorl being fertile, while both the Gnetaceae and the Welwitschiaceae bear female cones/spikes with multiple whorls of fertile bracts. Here, we describe a new ephedroid macrofossil, Liaoningia decussata Yang et Lin, gen. et sp. nov., from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation of western Liaoning in China. This species has typical ephedroid morphology, e.g. the dichasial branching shoot system, swollen nodes, internodes having many fine longitudinal striations, and decussate phyllotaxy, lengthy linear leaves possessing two parallel veins, and female cones consisting of paired bracts. This new genus is similar to the Ephedraceae in its vegetative organs, but differs from the latter by the female spikes with multiple pairs of fertile bracts. In this respect Liaoningia is similar to both the Gnetaceae and the Welwitschiaceae, but distinctly differs from the latter two genera in its vegetative organs. As a result, our new genus shows intermediate morphology between the Ephedaceae and the other two families of the gnetophytes, and is probably a missing link in the evolutionary process from the Ephedraceae to the clade including the Gnetaceae and the Welwitschiaceae.     

宁夏香山群徐家圈组基本沉积单元

报道了宁夏香山群徐家圈组基本组成单元,即由细砂岩－粉砂岩－页岩构成的沉积序列,并将该沉积序列划分为密度流沉积层（Ⅰ）、牵引流沉积层（Ⅱ）和悬浮沉积层（Ⅲ）,进而探讨其成因。结果表明：①层Ⅰ主要由细砂岩和粉砂－细砂岩组成,且在不同厚度层之间无明显的粒度分异;②徐家圈组岩性系列中明显缺失细砂质粉砂岩,而这种缺失正好构成了层Ⅰ和层Ⅱ之间的粒度中断;③层Ⅱ发育两组交错层理,第一组是平行层理、准平行层理、复合流层理和小型丘状交错层理,第二组是单向交错层理、双向交错层理和平行层理;④层Ⅲ中的薄层泥晶石灰岩具有不平整的底面并在侧向上呈现出长的透镜状。结合相关的浊流沉积研究成果,综合分析上述结果,可得出以下结论：①层Ⅰ可能为具有高悬浮负载降落速率的高密度衰减流沉积形成;②层Ⅱ可能受内波、内潮汐作用的控制;③层Ⅲ可能以深海、半深海垂直降落沉积为主,并辅以缓慢的平流;④沉积时的浊流可能具有双层结构。     

Annual lamination and its sedimentary implications in the Yangtze River delta inferred from High-resolution biogenic silica and sensitive grain-size records

Annual sedimentary layers in core A from the Yangtze River (Changjiang) subaqueous delta were identified based on high-resolution biogenic silica (BSi) and grain-size records. The contents of BSi, the sediment grain-size and the sensitive grain-size fractions of <13.14 μm and 13.14-250 μm illustrated steady coincident fluctuations with the depth profile of core A. These fluctuations were inferred to reflect seasonal changes in physical and biological processes. For example, variations in the content of BSi likely represent changes in primary production in flood versus dry seasons. It in flood seasons was several times higher than that in dry seasons. The amounts of <13.14 and 13.14-250 μm fractions were complimentary to each other and co-varied with the BSi amount. Therefore, the BSi, grain-size and sensitive fractions can be used as proxies for the annual sedimentation. From 1992 to 2005, the estimated sedimentary rate based on the annual layer varied from 1.0 to 3.5  cm/a (mean of 2.07  cm/a), and these values varies with the annual sediment discharge from the Yangtze River to the sea. The significant seasonal variations in the water discharge, sediment load, ocean hydrodynamics and primary production, which are common in the area affected by the East Asian monsoon, are likely responsible for the formation of the annual sedimentary lamination.     

Effect of streamflow forecast uncertainty on real-time reservoir operation

Various hydrological forecast products have been applied to real-time reservoir operation, including deterministic streamflow forecast (DSF), DSF-based probabilistic streamflow forecast (pseudo-PSF, pPSF), and ensemble or probabilistic streamflow forecast (denoted as real-PSF, rPSF). DSF represents forecast uncertainty in the form of deterministic forecast errors, pPSF a conditional distribution of forecast uncertainty for a given DSF, and rPSF a probabilistic uncertainty distribution. Compared to previous studies that treat the forecast products as ad hoc inputs for reservoir operation models, this paper attempts to model the dynamic evolution of uncertainties involved in the various forecast products and explores their effect on real-time reservoir operation decisions. Through a hypothetical example of a single-objective real-time reservoir operation model, the results illustrate that forecast uncertainty exerts significant effects. Reservoir operation efficiency, as measured by a utility function, decreases as the forecast uncertainty increases but the magnitude depends on the forecast products used. In general, the utility of the reservoir operation with rPSF is nearly as high as the utility obtained with a perfect forecast. Meanwhile, the utilities of DSF and pPSF are similar to each other but not as high as rPSF. Moreover, streamflow variability and reservoir capacity can change the magnitude of the effects of forecast uncertainty, but not the relative merit of DSF, pPSF, and rPSF.     

Modelling of the hydro-mechanical response of sedimentary rocks of southern Ontario to past glaciations

Glaciation is considered as one of the main natural processes that can have a significant impact on the long term performance of a deep geological nuclear waste repository (DGR) located in the Northern Hemisphere. The northern part of the American continent has been subjected to a series of strong glaciation and deglaciation events over the past million years. The last glacial cycle in the Northern Hemisphere started approximately 110,000 year ago. During that cycle, southern Ontario was buried under a continental ice sheet, with a maximum thickness of up to 3000 m at about 20,000 years ago. The ice cap retreated approximately 10,000 years ago. However, field data from deep boreholes in sedimentary rocks of southern Ontario show anomalous pore water pressure including underpressure and overpressure zones. In this paper, a large-scale coupled hydro-mechanical (HM) model is developed to investigate the hydro-mechanical (HM) response of the sedimentary rocks of southern Ontario to past glacial cycles. Particular emphasis has been placed on the evolution of pore water pressures and surface displacements. The HM model is verified using analytical solutions. The results of the large-scale HM modeling study shows that the past glaciation, particularly the second cycle (22,000 apb) had significant impact on the pore water pressure gradient and effective stress distribution in the sedimentary rocks of southern Ontario. Furthermore, good agreement between the large scale modeling results and anomalous pressures leads us to the conclusion that these anomalies could be glacially induced. The results of this research can provide information that will contribute to a better understanding of the impact of future glaciations on the long term performance of DRGs in sedimentary rocks.
