索曲流域现代河流阶地对南羌塘陆块新构造运动的反演

索曲流域位于南羌塘陆块东部,由发源于唐古拉山南坡的本曲、索曲、连曲和益曲等四条贯通性河流组成,是怒江上游面积最大的汇水区域。流域内现代河流及河流阶地十分发育。对比研究流域上游、中游和下游河流阶地的发育程度、类型、级别和阶地的构造变形特征,结合区域构造背景,笔者提出南羌塘陆块新构造运动主要形式是在总体隆升背景下,由南-南东向北-北西方向的断块式不均匀掀斜。这种运动形式是印度板块持续振荡式向北挤压、双湖—查吾拉断裂带与班公湖—怒江断裂带差异性活动联合作用的结果。     

Geodynamic hazard and risk assessments for sites close or in tectonic zones with shear movements

No region is excluded from actions of recent geodynamic short- or long-term effects which can be observed even on the Earth’s surface. The article delivers a geodynamic hazard assessment for the anthropogenic objects threatened by permanent shear movements occurring along tectonic faults and a way how to mitigate and/or eliminate the object risk. The proposed approach is applied to a case example of a motorway tunnel leading through rock masses where dynamically active zones with shear movements along their faults are expected. To detect the shear movements among rock masses, the contemporary satellite geodetic GPS methodology was used.     

广东全新世海平面重建与冰川均衡调整模型结果的比较

中国广东沿岸作为一个冰川均衡调整(GIA)“远场”地区,按照水动型均衡理论,应存在全新世中期高海平面.本文通过海平面标志物重建了广东古海平面的历史,结果显示出在粤东、粤西与珠江三角洲的海平面历史存在明显的差异.若将海平面历史与GIA模型结果对比,可以看出广东沿岸在全新世以来具有微小的区域性地壳沉降.这种大区域的沉降可归因于华南陆块向南延伸所引起.此外,粤西雷州半岛因新构造运动,于全新世早中期有轻微抬升.珠江三角洲盆地则因断裂构造沉降和沉积物压实作用,重建的中全新世海平面明显低于GIA结果.     

地电阻率与水位关系的机理分析

从地电阻率的观测理论出发, 指出地电阻率场地的电性结构、 岩石的饱和度和孔隙度决定了地电阻率和水位的关系。 在长期的观测资料基础上, 通过实例系统地分析了地电阻率和水位的关系, 给出了不同层位的水位变化和不同方式的水位变化对地电阻率观测结果的影响, 认为非构造水位变化与地电阻率的关系主要取决于表层土壤或岩石的水饱和度, 构造水位变化与地电阻率变化存在明确的相关关系, 从而进一步探讨了与前兆异常有关的水位和地电阻率变化。     

青藏高原东缘岩石圈结构对现今地表垂向运动影响的数值分析

参考青藏高原东缘松潘-甘孜地块至四川盆地陡变地形起伏和地壳密度结构的横向差异,本文建立了二维牛顿黏性流体有限元模型,计算分析构造加载、陡变地形和重力效应控制下青藏高原东缘岩石圈变形特征,探讨横向不均匀的地壳密度结构、陡变地形和岩石圈流变性质对区域现今垂向运动的影响.计算结果显示：在构造加载作用下,松潘-甘孜地块至四川盆地地表抬升微弱.区域横向不均匀的地壳密度结构驱使松潘-甘孜地块地壳整体抬升,速率高达2 mm·a^-1,四川盆地整体下沉,速率约1 mm·a^-1,与龙门山两侧现今观测到的地表垂向变形模式相近.龙门山地区陡变地形驱使柔性地壳流动,调整区域地壳局部变形;岩石圈流变结构影响重力驱动作用下的模型变形量值和岩石圈变形耦合程度,松潘-甘孜地块较低的中地壳黏滞系数引起上、下地壳的变形解耦;模型较高的岩石圈地幔黏滞系数使重力驱动作用下区域垂向变形量降低.因此,青藏高原东缘地壳密度结构差异、地形起伏和岩石圈流变性质是现今区域垂向变形的重要动力学控制因素.     

Ecophysiological differences between vesicomyid species and metabolic capabilities of their symbionts influence distribution patterns of the deep‐sea clams

This study provides an analysis of vesicomyid bivalve–symbiont community distribution across cold seep and hydrothermal vent areas in the Guaymas Basin (Gulf of California, Mexico). Using a combination of morphological and molecular approaches including fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and electronic microscopy observations, vesicomyid clam species and their associated symbionts were characterized and results were analyzed in light of geochemical conditions and other on‐site observations. A greater diversity of vesicomyids was found at cold seep areas, where three different species were present (Phreagena soyoae [syn. kilmeri], Archivesica gigas, and Calyptogena pacifica). In contrast, A. gigas was the only species sampled across the hydrothermal vent area. The same haplotype of A. gigas was found in both hydrothermal vent and cold seep areas, highlighting possible contemporary exchanges among neighboring vents and seeps. In either ecosystem, molecular characterization of the symbionts confirmed the specificity between symbionts and hosts and supported the hypothesis of a predominantly vertical transmission. In addition, patterns of clams could reflect potential niche preferences for each species. The occurrence of numerous traces of vesicomyid movements on sediments in the sites colonized by A. gigas seemed to indicate that this species might have a better ability to move. Furthermore, variation in gill sulfur content could reveal a higher plasticity and sulfur storage capacity in A. gigas. Thus, the distribution of vesicomyid species across the chemosynthetic areas of the Guaymas Basin could be explained by differences in biological traits of the vesicomyid species that would allow A. gigas to more easily exploit transient and punctual sources of available sulfide than P. soyoae.     

Observations and speculations on the northeast Towy ‘axis’, mid-Wales

Late Ashgill and Llandovery sedimentation across the Towy ‘axis’ southeast of Rhayader is interpreted within the context of the rapid southeasterly thickening of the upper portion of the Ashgill best demonstrable in the Chwefru valley. This thickening sequence overlies deep-water middle-fan arenites and is interpreted as a northwest prograding shelf/slope association. The slope eventually became non-depositional and was onlapped by the basinal facies of the Llandovery during relative sea-level rise. The non-depositional slope and associated major slump-scars at the shelf-edge explain many of the non-sequences- in the region previously ascribed to erosion related to episodes of tectonism. The regional strain history is thus simplified.     

Cenozoic sediment distribution and tectonic movements in the Faroe region

A complex history of Cenozoic vertical movements in the Faroe region has been revealed from interpretation of geophysical and geological data, mainly offshore reflection seismic data, side-scan images, shallow cores, and onshore mapping. The history comprises several phases of tectonic disturbances observed at different scales. On the eastern margin of the Faroe Platform a late Eocene–early Oligocene phase of doming of the Faroe Platform has caused a postdepositional tilting of Eocene strata along the southern margin of the platform; a mid-Miocene phase of compressional tectonics is evidenced on seismic transects as gentle anticlines and associated reverse faults; and possible Pliocene uplift of the Faroe Islands is indicated by a progradational wedge of sediments deposited on the eastern Faroe Platform. At the continental margin/slope north of the Faroe Platform, reflection seismic data imaging the postbasalt sedimentary strata indicate three distinct tectonic events phases in the Eocene–Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene, respectively. In contrast to the Faroe Platform the Faroe–Shetland Channel was characterised by more or less continuous subsidence dominated throughout the Cenozoic. During the Eocene, sediments deposited in the Faroe–Shetland Channel was mostly derived from a source area on the British shelf.
