Melt/mantle mixing produces podiform chromite deposits in ophiolites: Implications of Re-Os systematics in the Dongqiao Neo-tethyan ophiolite, northern Tibet

Podiform chromite deposits occur in the mantle sequences of many ophiolites that were formed in supra-subduction zone (SSZ) settings. We have measured the Re-Os isotopic compositions of the major chromite deposits and associated mantle peridotites of the Dongqiao Ophiolite in the Bangong-Nujiang suture, Tibet, to investigate the petrogenesis of these rocks and their genetic relationships.The ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios of the chromite separates define a narrow range from 0.12318 to 0.12354, less variable than those of the associated peridotites. Previously-reported ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios of the Os-rich alloys enclosed in the chromitites define two clusters: 0.12645 ± 0.00004 (2 s; n = 145) and 0.12003 to 0.12194. The ultra-depleted dunites have much lower ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os (0.11754, 0.11815), and the harzburgites show a wider range from 0.12107 to 0.12612. The average isotopic composition of the chromitites (¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os: 0.12337 ± 0.00001) is low compared with the carbonaceous chondrite value (¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os: 0.1260 ± 0.0013) and lower than the average value measured for podiform chromitites worldwide (0.12809 ± 0.00085). In contrast, the basalts have higher ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os, ranging from 0.20414 to 0.38067, while the plagioclase-bearing harzburgite and cumulates show intermediate values of ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os (0.12979 ~ 0.14206). Correspondingly, the basalts have the highest ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os ratios, up to 45.4 ± 3.2, and the chromites have the lowest ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os ratios, down to 0.00113 ± 0.00008. We suggest that melts/fluids, derived from the subducting slab, triggered partial melting in the overlying mantle wedge and added significant amounts of radiogenic Os to the peridotites. Mass-balance calculations indicate that a melt/mantle ratio of approximately 15:1 (melt: ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os: 45.4, ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os: 0.34484; mantle peridotite: ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os: 0.0029, ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os: 0.11754) is necessary to increase the Os isotopic composition of the chromitite deposits to its observed average value. This value implies a surprisingly low average melt/mantle ratio during the formation of the chromitite deposits. The percolating melts probably were of variable isotopic composition. However, in the chromitite pods the Os from many melts was pooled and homogenized, which is why the chromitite deposits show such a small variation in their Os isotopic composition. The results of this study suggest that the ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios of chromitites may not be representative of the DMM, but only reflect an upper limit. Importantly, the Os-isotope compositions of chromitites strongly suggest that such deposits can be formed by melt/mantle mixing processes.     

Competitive firms in thin regions in Norway: The importance of workplace learning

The article departs from empirical studies of two competitive firms in an organisationally thin region in Norway. The main question in the article is how these firms have achieved global competitiveness. The article focuses its inquiry on how the firms organise their innovation activity, giving special attention to the firms' organisational learning and absorptive capacity. It is found that find that workplace learning enables the firms to utilise knowledge in uncommon ways. The learning rests on specific organisational traits in the firms, such as broad participation, long-term on-the-job training, the use of practice-based knowledge in innovation projects, and links to national and global knowledge sources. The characteristics of thin regions indicate that these traits make up a generally applicable strategy in such regions.     

东部三大经济区城市流动人口的多维度社会融入及其地区差异

以流动人口集中的京津冀、长三角和珠三角三大经济区35个城市2012年流动人口动态监测数据为基础,采用均方差权值法,综合经济、社会、心理、制度和公共服务5个维度构建衡量流动人口社会融入的指标体系,在此基础上计算和比较了三大经济区及其35个城市流动人口各维度社会融入指标和社会融入综合水平得分及其地区差异。研究结论显示,社会融入综合水平得分由高到低依次是京津冀、长三角、珠三角。同一地区流动人口的融入状况在各个维度不均衡,京津冀地区流动人口社会维度的融入程度最高,制度维度融入程度最低;长三角地区流动人口的心理维度融入居前列,但社会维度融入位列最后;珠三角地区流动人口的社会维度融入程度最高,公共服务维度融入不足。此外,就整体而言,三大地区流动人口的工作强度大、交往对象固化于流动人口、在流入地长期居住意愿多数仍处于举棋不定的状态;三大地区都存在落实居住证/暂住证制度和流动人口享有城镇医保等方面较为薄弱等诸多问题并共同制约着流动人口真正融入流入城市。为此,需要在政策制定中予以关注。     

Magnetic ionization fronts – III. Internal structures

We present calculations of the internal structures of stationary ionization fronts with oblique upstream magnetic fields. Solutions are found only within the range of upstream parameters allowed by the evolutionary conditions derived by us in a previous paper. As is the case for hydrodynamic ionization fronts, overheating of the gas within the front can mean that not all the solutions allowed by the evolutionary conditions correspond to resolved internal structures. Some, but not all, of these jumps can be realized by structures with included subshocks: we present a full range of internal structures for fronts close to criticality, and discuss how to avoid spurious 'strong-R' type solutions.
The solutions we study suggest that significant transverse velocities and modulations of the perpendicular magnetic field may characterize obliquely magnetized ionization fronts. We briefly discuss the observability of the internal structures.     

西藏浦桑果铅锌多金属矿床矽卡岩矿物学特征及其地质意义

西藏浦桑果铅锌多金属矿床位于南冈底斯成矿带火山岩浆弧内,矿区矽卡岩型铅锌矿体主要呈似层状和透镜状近东西向赋存于白垩系塔克那组第4岩性段矽卡岩化大理岩中,矽卡岩矿物较发育。为进一步查明矽卡岩矿物种属及矽卡岩类型,剖析矽卡岩的形成环境及其与成矿的关系,在对矽卡岩矿物系统的显微镜下鉴定基础上,利用电子探针对矿区内主要矽卡岩矿物化学成分进行了系统分析。结果表明,石榴子石主要为非连续的钙铁榴石钙铝榴石类质同像系列(And47.39~98.17Gro0.59~50.22Ura+Pyr+Spe0~3.53),且早期主要形成钙铁榴石,部分钙铁榴石含锰质较高;单斜辉石主要为钙铁辉石-锰钙辉石-透辉石类质同像系列(Hd37.91~74.16Jo0.91~61.66Di0.43~46.07);似辉石主要为硅灰石,端员组分为Wo99.09~99.26En0.50~0.56Fs0.13~0.24;角闪石主要为镁角闪石,具钙质角闪石属性;绿帘石贫铁、镁而富铝、钙;绿泥石属于密绿泥石类。矿床矽卡岩矿物组合特征表明,浦桑果矿床矽卡岩兼具钙质矽卡岩和锰质矽卡岩的特征。早期矽卡岩形成于高温、偏碱性、强氧化的开放体系中,成矿流体具有较高氧逸度。锰质矽卡岩矿物特征及独立银矿物的存在综合表明矿区具有银矿找矿潜力,为下步找矿工作提供了思路和方向。     

冻融作用对不同初始状态基坑稳定性的影响研究

为研究季节冻土区冻融作用对基坑工程的影响,基于考虑冰-水相变的热传导理论、考虑黏聚力的修正剑桥模型和强度折减法,建立了适用于季节冻土区基坑稳定性分析的计算平台。在此基础上,结合具体的试验数据对不同初始状态的基坑算例进行计算,研究季节冻土区基坑冻融前后稳定性和位移的变化情况,并根据土体冻融前后的物理力学参数对上述变化规律作出分析。研究结果表明,冻融作用加剧季节冻土区基坑的局部变形,且土体的初始干重度对变形规律的影响较大,但基坑的整体安全系数并未受到冻融作用的显著影响。存在一个临界干重度γ_d0,基坑土体的初始干重度接近临界干重度时,围护桩水平位移在冻融前后的变化较小,随着土体初始干重度与临界干重度的差距增大,围护桩水平位移在冻融前后的变化量也随之增大。土体的初始干重度越小,基坑围护桩的竖向位移和坑底隆起位移在冻融前后的变化量越大,即土体初始干重度较小的基坑在经历冻融后,围护桩的竖向位移产生显著沉降,但坑底隆起情况有明显缓解。研究成果对季节冻土区基坑工程的设计和施工具有重要意义。     

藏西南札达白垩纪海绿石的形成机制及控制因素

西藏札达地区夏拉剖面海绿石砂岩之下的地层中含有少量处于不同演化阶段的海绿石质物质。为了更好的理解海绿石化过程、查明海绿石的形成机制和控制因素,本文利用岩相学和扫描电镜(SEM)以及电子探针微分析(EPMA)等技术,对其中处于不同演化阶段的海绿石进行了系统的矿物学研究。分析表明,海绿石呈微晶片状集合体形态,具明显的交代特征。海绿石化过程主要表现为交代碱性长石或岩屑中的富钾组分,这种交代反应为溶解-沉淀-重结晶机制控制的界面迁移反应。交代形成的海绿石继承了原矿物或岩屑颗粒的外形,表明其形成于很弱的水动力学条件。交代过程受沉积物供应速率、母源物质的溶解速率和反应界面附近的氧化还原条件控制。铁铝蛇纹石的大量存在表明当时的环境主要为一种还原环境,而海绿石则形成于局部的亚氧化(sub-oxic)环境中。砂岩中不同演化程度的海绿石都表现出富钾贫铁的特征,表明交代碱性长石(或钾长石)或岩屑中的富钾组分的海绿石化过程不同于前人提出的新生理论和两阶段模式。元素的富集是通过与交代作用同时进行的重结晶作用完成的,该过程不需要前人提及的后期单独的钾富集的过程,并区别于交代贫钾矿物的过程。     

西藏南羌塘盆地达卓玛地区油气地质条件研究

前人在南羌塘达卓玛地区零星发现了一些地表油气显示并采集了少量的烃源岩进行分析,但勘查程度总体较低,未开展系统的生、储、盖研究.结合前人资料,通过野外石油地质调查、样品采集、室内分析、对比研究等手段,对南羌塘盆地达卓玛地区的烃源岩、储集岩、盖层等油气地质条件进行了分析,认为研究区阿堵拉组泥岩、页岩为好烃源岩,色哇组泥岩、粉砂质泥岩为差—中等烃源岩,布曲组、夏里组和索瓦组发育差烃源岩;储集岩主要为阿堵拉组砂岩和布曲组白云岩;盖层有泥质岩、灰岩和石膏,以Ⅰ、Ⅱ类盖层为主.野外调查中发现了大量地表油气显示,盆地经历了油气生成、运移、聚集和散失的过程,具有油气生成的物质基础和成藏的油气地质条件.建议在油气存储条件良好的达卓玛背斜布置钻井,进一步开展深部研究,力争实现该地区油气突破.     

西藏罗布莎蛇绿岩铬铁矿中金刚石的研究

在西藏罗布莎豆荚状铬铁矿中发现过金刚石,但迄今仍有人因为自己所取的小试样中没有分离出金刚石而否定罗布莎等地金刚石的存在。由于金刚石涉及西藏雅鲁藏布江缝合线和蛇绿岩、铬铁矿成因等问题,笔者重新在罗布莎铬铁矿中取样,经过选矿,又在1500kg样品中选出了25粒金刚石和近70种伴生矿物。这就表明西藏金刚石是的确存在的,而且它和蛇绿岩的铬铁矿同是深部成因的产物。     

西藏申扎地区早泥盆世珊瑚类生物地理分析

对西藏申扎地区早泥盆世珊瑚类的研究表明,申扎地区早泥盆世珊瑚群不论是从分异度、丰度还是分布范围上,都获得了极大的发展。通过分析西藏申扎地区早泥盆世珊瑚动物群组合,利用大冢系数的定量计算得出以下结论：申扎地区与我国云南丽江地区、西秦岭地区有着十分密切的联系,早泥盆世这3个地区为老世界大区（Old world realm）中的一个生物地理分区,并且进一步提出申扎地区与澳大利亚东部的关系密切。从混生的动物群角度上,印证了有关申扎地区是处于澳大利亚东部地区与我国华南之间过渡地区的观点。
