Geomorphology and sedimentary/biosedimentary structures of the intertidal environment along the coast of Kuwait,north-western Arabian Gulf

The coast of Kuwait can be divided into nine intertidal geomorphological subunits, of which four are found along the northern muddy shoreline and five along the southern sandy shoreline. In the north the coast is characterized by wide intertidal mudflats, bounded landward by an extensive coastal sabkha which is partly covered by sand drifts. The upper part of the intertidal environment is covered with a mixture of aeolian sands and muddy sediments of marine origin. A number of shallow tidal channels dissect the intertidal flats and small sand bars occur near the low water line. In contrast, the southern shore is characterized by relatively steep sandy beaches fronted by narrow to moderately wide rocky intertidal platforms which are partly covered by sand, bioherms, skeletal debris and algal mats. In some areas the rocky surface is dissected by numerous small gulleys and shallow channels. Multiple sand bars lying either parallel or diagonal to the shoreline are developed near the low water line. This southern intertidal environment is bounded landward by a sandy berm and a wave-cut cliff.Ripple marks are developed almost parallel to the shoreline, showing different flow directions. Energy levels are moderate to high along the southern shore, but low along the northern shore. In the south, waves induced by winds blowing mostly from the north-east and south-east form the dominant energy source, whereas tidal and wind-driven currents are the only tangible process acting along the northern shore.

三道溜河地区太古宙岩浆－构造事件

三道溜河地区处于中朝准地台北东缘，北西起自著名的夹皮沟金矿，南东至四道砬子河，太古宇出露广泛。笔者在此进行１：５万区调时，共发现了六次岩浆－构造事件，由老至新依次为：７８７角闪辉石岩、岭东片麻岩、大朝阳沟斜长角闪岩、三道溜河ＴＴＧ岩组、唐胡店沟二长花岗岩、五道砬子河变辉长辉绿岩（发生在元古宙早期，在时空上与太古宇关系密切）。上述事件，表现为基性岩类与酸性岩类交替出现。基性岩事件依次为超基性岩－基性岩－偏碱性基性岩，稀土元素总量由高至低，微量元素Ｂａ、Ｍｎ、Ｚｒ递增，Ｐｂ、Ｚｎ递减。酸性岩事件依次为中酸性岩－酸性岩－偏碱性酸性岩，稀土元素的Ｌａ／Ｌｕ、ΣＣｅ／ΣＹ由低到高，总量变化不大，微量元素Ｃｏ、Ｃｒ、Ｎｉ、Ｃｕ递减。本区的构造运动与岩浆侵入活动相辅相成，古穹窿构造及北西向韧性剪切带控制了Ａｕ、Ａｇ、Ｃｕ等矿产的展布。     

关于菏泽－昆山北西向地震带的建立及其意义

根据地质构造、地震稠密区走向和地震迁移活动的规律，并结合重力和航磁资料探讨了菏冷昆山北西向地震带的存在及其规模和范围。这一地震带，无论在历史上或近期均甚活跃，对江淮流域及沪、杭、甬地区构成一定的震灾威胁，值得引起有关方面的重视，并予加强研究和监测     

下庄矿田基底的控矿作用及其有关地质问题

本文提出武夷及其邻区存在两个裂陷槽及一裂隆，鹰潭－南城－安远－河源韧性断裂带为东部的火山岩型与西部的花岗岩型铀矿床的地质分界线，指出了加里东运动在本区的突出作用是使裂隆基底岩石发生混合花岗岩化作用。根据下庄矿田及其外围发现较深变质的岩石和较大规模韧性剪切糜棱岩带，得出下庄矿田是古老基底加里东热穹隆区多次构造、岩浆活动的产物。由于铀成矿作用赋存于初、脆性两种构造中，建议重新划分矿化类型以指导勘查工作。     

闽南漳州沙建温泉区的微震观测

1982年9-12月,在漳州温泉区布设了台网进行微震观测。结果表明,在漳州及其以北的沙建温泉区一带均有微震与小震群活动,震级为M_s=-1～1级,震源为3-14km。用震源的分布、震源机制解和微震综合断层面解的结果,研究了地质断裂的现今活动性及其与温泉的关系。认为区内东西向与北东向断裂是控制温泉分布的主要构造,而北西向断裂则是温泉的涌水构造。经探明,在有浅层热储的漳州市以及地质断裂发育的沙建地区,地震波速与介质泊松系数均低于正常值。此外,台网尚观测记录到一些异常的振动现象。根据地震的综合信息,探讨了研究区微震活动与水热活动的关系。     

随县-马鞍山地带地壳与上地幔结构及郯庐构造带南段的某些特征

本义利用1979-1981年中国科学院地球物理研究所在随县-马鞍山所做的人工源地震探测的资料,采用二维射线追踪来拟合地震波的走时和振幅,取得了该地带的地壳与上地慢速度结构.结果表明,该地带地壳厚度为32-37km,莫霍面起伏变化显著.地壳速度的横向变化甚为强烈,地壳中部存在低速层.在巢湖以西宽数10km的范围内,地壳结构与其它地方明显不同,上地壳速度明显偏高,莫霍面上隆并有间断;在其两侧,明显可见有两条深断裂.结合其它地球物理场特征及大地构造概况,对结果进行分析,认为郯庐构造带南段被两条深断裂所夹,构造带宽度可达数10km,并在地质历史时期曾有过地幔物质上涌.     

Transient electromagnetic response due to a pair of horizontal conducting sheets in a loop field

The transient electromagnetic response due to a pair of horizontal conducting sheets induced by a loop field is obtained. The response characteristics in the three different regions (above the upper sheet, between the two sheets and below the lower sheet) are briefly discussed. In the first and second regions the composite response is characterised by an overburden response asymptote during early times and a target response asymptote during late times. The transition zones are characterised by shoulder-like bends. In the third region, the composite response increases in direct proportion to the induction number, eventually merging with the target response for large values of the induction number.     

对入渗补给模型的一些看法

在浅层地下水资源评价中建立正确的降雨入渗概念模型及其相应的数学模型,是十分重要的。本文将入渗的概念模型总结为活塞式、扩散式和捷径式三种类型,认为在非饱和入渗过程中捷径式是普遍的;由于降雨的随机性,入渗补给的数学模型宜采用随机模型。
