东海陆架盆地南部中生代断裂系统与盆地结构

以东海陆架盆地南部为研究对象,运用丰富的二维地震资料,在对中生界断裂体系精细刻画的基础上,分析了断裂的展布特征,并就断裂系统对盆地结构的控制作用进行了研究,结果表明：该区域中生界断裂系统十分发育,断层表现出张性或张扭性特征并具有多期活动的特点;根据断裂平面展布及组合特征,可划分出3类构造样式,8种断裂组合;根据断裂发育时间,可将断裂的活动期次划分为燕山期和喜山期;受控于NE和NNE向的断裂系统,中生界盆地构造格局表现为“三凹两凸”结构特征;断裂发育的时间及特点对中生界盆地的构造演化和沉积过程起着重要的控制作用。     

Microbiological studies of thermal habitats of the central volcanic region,North Island,New Zealand

This account of studies on the algae and bacteria of North Island thermal areas records temperature, pH and species found in these microbial habitats, with special attention to organisms living at the highest temperatures. Thermal features were studied at Rotorua (Whakarewarewa and Ohinemutu), Waiotapu (Tourist Reserve and Lady Knox Geyser), Orakei Korako, Taupo Spa, Waikite Springs, Wairakei thermal valley, Wairakei geothermal field, Tikitere, Ketetahi, Lake Rotokawa (Taupo region), Waimangu, De Brett Thermal Hotel (Taupo).

The upper temperature limit for blue‐green algae in New Zealand is 60–65°c, and the species living at the thermal limit is generally Mastigocladus laminosus, although in some cases Phormidium sp. or Synechococcus sp. was found. The Synechococcus sp. characteristic of high temperatures (73–74°c) present in North America was not found in New Zealand. In virtually all boiling pools (99–101°c) with pH values in the neutral and alkaline range bacteria were found, but in acidic boiling pools, bacteria were absent. The presence in New Zealand of the eucaryotic algae Cyanidium caldarium and Zygogonium sp. is reported for the first time. Further records for the hot spring brine fly Ephydrella thermarum and other ephydrids are given. The observations are compared with previous data on thermal habitats in Yellowstone Park, in Iceland, and in other parts of the world.     

东海陆架表层沉积物粘土矿物组成分布特征及来源

依照Stokes定律,由256个东海陆架表层沉积物样品中提取了2μm粒级组分、制成定向片,通过X-射线衍射(XRD)分析以及Biscaye(1965)方法计算了蒙皂石、伊利石、高岭石和绿泥石四种矿物的相对含量。结果显示,东海陆架区表层沉积物粘土矿物相对含量由高到低组成为伊利石(平均65.4%)、绿泥石(平均14.4%)、蒙皂石(平均13.3%)和高岭石(平均6.9%);东海陆架表层沉积物中高岭石含量有向海减小的趋势;陆架区东北部和中南部的伊利石含量较低、蒙皂石含量较高,东南部的伊利石和蒙皂石含量分布与其相反;绿泥石在研究区东部和东北部含量较低。聚类分析显示,东海陆架2μm粒级沉积物可分为"类长江"与"类黄河"两种类型。类长江细颗粒沉积物主要分布在东海陆架中西部地区;类黄河沉积物在研究区东北部、东部和南部的部分区域分布。东北部的类黄河沉积物可能来自黄河或废黄河口,而南部和东部的细颗粒沉积物可能是晚更新世冰期干冷气候下形成的产物与现代河流入海细颗粒的混合物。     

山溪性河流锆石年代学对比及对东部海区物源示踪意义

碎屑锆石年代学常被用于示踪物源、重建源区古地理以及揭示区域构造-沉积演化历史。分析和收集了台湾山溪性河流及大陆东南部中小河流的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄,探究了山溪性中小河流碎屑锆石年代学的主要控制因素,及对东部海区沉积物源的示踪意义。河流碎屑锆石年龄组成与流域基岩性质比较研究揭示,大陆东南部中小河流碎屑锆石年代学与流域基岩所经历的构造-岩浆活动对应,而台湾山溪性小河流的碎屑锆石年代学与流域沉积岩的构造-沉积演化历史密切相关。中国东南部山溪性中小河流的碎屑锆石年龄组成揭示出三类不同的物源端元：(1)东南沿岸的小河流具有极高的燕山期锆石峰值;(2)东南部中等流域规模的河流以明显的加里东期锆石峰值为特征;(3)台湾西部山溪小河具有较高比例的前寒武纪锆石以及明显的晋宁期和吕梁期峰值年龄。这些物源端元特征的确立为今后示踪末次冰期阶段东海内陆架和台湾海峡的粗粒沉积物来源提供重要参考。     

Modelling tidal currents on the coast of Portugal

A tide circulation model of the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula has been constructed. This regional numerical model covers the whole continental shelf. The finite element computational grid is made of some 16,300 triangular elements with sizes ranging between 13 km (on the offshore boundary) and 1 km (near the coast), with local refinements on the continental shelf and in the area of Figueira da Foz. This site was selected as experimental site for the study of waves and currents in the frame of the MAST2/WAVEMOD research project.Boundary conditions along the three oceanic limits of this widely open domain are obtained from the North-Atlantic component of a World Ocean tidal numerical model known as FES94 [Le Provost, C., Genco, M.L., Lyard, F., Vincent, P. and Canceil, P. (1994) Spectroscopy of the world ocean tides from a finite element hydrodynamic model, Journal of Geophysical Research, Topex-Poseidon Special Issue]. A new radiation-like boundary condition has been introduced in the modelling system used (Telemac-2D), which solves the Shallow Water Equations (SWE), in order to interface the two models and to allow for the tidal wave to leave the northern limit without reflection. Model calibration has been performed on the dominating M₂ constituent. The introduction of the astral static potential generating the tide in the SWE improved this regional model.A long duration run (1 month) has been performed, the model being forced by the eight major tide constituents. Harmonic analysis of results has been performed on 17 tide constituents, due to non-linear interactions of constituents on the continental shelf. Comparisons with the FES94 model on one hand, and with a set of coastal tide gauges on the other hand, are good. A database of tidal harmonics is now available for forecasting sea levels and currents in this area.This work has shown that diurnal shelf trapped tide waves exist in some places along the Portuguese continental shelf, which induce diurnal dominant tidal currents in these places (North of Figueira da Foz).     

Review of three-dimensional ecological modelling related to the North Sea shelf system: Part 1: models and their results

The state-of-the-art in modelling the marine ecosystem of the greater North Sea is reviewed, providing an overview especially about three-dimensional models that describe and predict how the marine ecosystem of the greater North Sea area functions and how concentrations and fluxes of biologically important elements vary in space and time, throughout the shelf and over years, in response to physical forcing. Articles with a strong concentration on modelling were selected from the available literature, and all articles around the existing “ecological modelling groups” dealing with the area of the North Sea were sorted in chronological order of their appearance in the literature. We found eleven of such groups and described their different modelling efforts. Selecting the seven three-dimensional models (NORWECOM, GHER, ECOHAM, ERSEM, ELISE, COHERENS and POL3dERSEM), we characterized the complexity of the models, by comparing the resolution in time and space, and the resolution of the trophic structure by discussing the number and kind of state variables and of the processes relating these state variables to each other.The review of biogeochemical/ecological modelling for the greater North Sea shows that important findings by model simulations have either confirmed existing knowledge derived from field work or have given new insight into the mechanisms of the functioning of the North Sea system: the temporal and spatial development and magnitude of primary production, its spreading from the coasts to the north-west over the open North Sea, its mechanisms of limitation, the functioning of the pelagic small food web and of the benthic web, the mechanisms of nutrient regeneration, the effects of riverine and atmospheric nutrient inputs causing eutrophication of coastal waters, the extent of eutrophication in the North Sea, and the budgets for nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicon. The three-dimensional ecological models of the greater North Sea have provided consistent distributions and dynamics of the lower trophic levels on their regional, annual and decadal scales which cannot be derived to this degree of coverage by observations.The state-of-the-art in validation for these models is presented in part 2     

Day–night and depth differences in haemolymph melatonin of the Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus (L.)

Few studies have been conducted to quantify and understand the role of melatonin in invertebrates, and particularly in crustaceans and in deep-sea animals. In this study, we examined day–night differences in haemolymph melatonin of the burrowing decapod crustacean Nephrops norvegicus (L.) during exposure to cycles of monochromatic blue light (480 nm) and darkness cycles of 10 and 0.1 lx. These differential intensity conditions simulate illumination at the depth of the shelf (80–100 m) and of the slope (300–400 m), where these lobster populations are chiefly found in the Western Mediterranean Sea. Our objectives were: (a) to verify the presence of melatonin in the haemolymph of this species using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) and fluorescence HPLC (HPLC); and (b) to study the relationship between diel variations in melatonin concentration and locomotor rhythms, in order to examine whether the former influences behaviour. Melatonin was identified in LC–MS/MS by Q1 and Q3 mass peaks at an elution time of 3.7 min, and it was also detected by HPLC. Melatonin concentration was found to be two orders of magnitude higher at 10 lx (4.8±5.3 ng ml⁻¹) than at 0.1 lx (0.06±0.03 ng ml⁻¹). Also, the increase at daytime in 10 lx was absent in 0.1 lx. When the locomotor rhythm of animals exposed to both photoperiod regimes was compared, the diel periodicity was found to be preserved, but the timing of activity shifted from night to day. Extrapolating these data to the field, we interpret our results to mean that locomotor activity preserves its diel character, but not its phase and amplitude, in a bathymetric range where haemolymph melatonin reduces its concentration and rhythmic fluctuation.     

东海陆架盆地东南部白垩系油气成藏条件

目前东海陆架盆地的勘探形势良好,在新生界陆续发现多个油气田,但在盆地中生界尚未有大的勘探突破。为提高油气勘探效率,利用含油气系统的理论与方法对研究区白垩系油气成藏要素及成藏作用进行了分析,总结出了研究区油气成藏模式。结果表明：研究区白垩系烃源岩主要发育在基隆凹陷,岩性推测为海湾相暗色泥岩,有机质丰度高,类型好;储层主要为中―新生代砂岩,储集空间主要为原生孔隙和次生裂缝,白垩系砂岩整体为中孔中渗储层,新生界储集性能较好,并以始新统平湖组和渐新统花港组砂岩最为重要;中新生代盖层主要为泥岩,发育两套生储盖组合;受构造演化所控制,基隆凹陷可能经历了白垩纪晚期、古近纪、新近纪―至今3次生烃,其他地区只经历了后两次生烃;油气主要是通过优势输导砂体、不整合面、断裂和裂缝所组成的输导体系向周围圈闭运移;东海陆架东南部白垩系油气主要存在3种油气藏类型。本次研究结果可以为东海陆架盆地东南部白垩系的油气资源评估提供依据。     

东海陆架盆地中生界构造样式及其动力学成因探讨

构造样式为盆内各类构造组合的几何形态表达,反映了盆地所处应力场性质变化与构造演化过程。本文基于近5年来针对东海陆架盆地所取得的地震资料解释成果,并综合盆地构造演化特征及其地球动力学背景,对盆地内中生界构造样式进行了系统的分类与总结,详细划分为5类构造样式:伸展构造样式、挤压构造样式、走滑构造样式、反转构造样式和底辟构造样式,并进一步细化为12种构造组合。同时,对东海陆架盆地内西部坳陷、中部低隆起、东部坳陷3个构造单元内的中生界构造样式发育情况分别进行了总结,各类构造样式自西至东具有各异的展布特征。综合盆内中生界构造样式几何学特点与展布特征可见,由于伊佐奈歧板块的俯冲、碰撞作用,区内处于挤压构造环境,进而形成了挤压背斜、断背斜、正反转等构造组合;大洋板块的后退翻卷及板块碰撞、俯冲的远程效应下,区内构造环境以伸展作用为主,形成了一系列NNE向裂陷盆地,发育了丰富的伸展构造组合;走滑-拉分构造的发育较好体现了构造环境的转变,地震剖面上见有花状断裂发育;岩浆底辟构造多发育于拉张环境下,与断裂展布息息相关,多沿NE-NNE向断裂展布。此外,新生代多期构造运动是影响中生界构造样式发育展布的重要因素。     

东海陆架盆地南部深部地层格架与油气资源潜力

东海陆架盆地是发育于西太平洋边缘的前中生代克拉通基础上的中、新生代坳陷-断陷-坳陷叠合型盆地,蕴藏着丰富的油气资源,但深层(上三叠统—白垩系)由于埋藏深,区域构造背景、地球物理场、构造演化复杂,温度场、压力场与应力场变化大,地质结构改造强烈,油气成藏过程复杂,影响了对盆地深层烃源岩与油气生、排、聚潜力综合评价。因此,本文在利用前人研究成果的基础上,综合应用钻井、地球物理和浙闽陆域资料,通过区域地震地质解释和井-震标定,将东海陆架盆地南部深层划分出上三叠统—中侏罗统、上侏罗统和白垩系3个二级构造层序,建立了深部层序格架和层序演化序列,明确了深部主要发育上三叠统—下侏罗统和下白垩统两套受海侵影响或海相泥页岩烃源岩,提出东海陆架盆地南部深层总生烃能力和平均资源丰度较大,具有可观的油气资源潜力,是今后东海深部油气勘探值得探索的重要领域。
