西藏珠穆朗玛峰北坡地区显生宙沉积演化

位于印度板块北缘和雅鲁藏布江结合带之间的珠穆朗玛峰北坡地区，属于喜马拉雅造山带，是特提斯洋的重要组成部分。自奥陶纪至古近纪约5亿年期间发育一套基本连续的海相沉积，厚度达14 km，是研究特提斯洋形成演化的最佳地区。作者在对该区显生宙地层主干剖面和辅助剖面详细观察研究以及区域地质调查填图的基础上，将珠穆朗玛峰北坡地区显生宙沉积地层划分为海相、海陆过渡相和陆相3个沉积相组、15个沉积相和若干个沉积亚相。作者通过对该区沉积盆地的地层系统、沉积相、沉积特征的系统研究，将珠穆朗玛峰北坡地区显生宙沉积演化划分为6个阶段:1)奥陶纪-泥盆纪为稳定陆表海演化阶段；2)石炭纪-二叠纪为大陆裂谷盆地演化阶段；3)三叠纪-侏罗纪为被动大陆边缘盆地演化阶段；4)早中白垩世为前陆早期复理石盆地演化阶段；5)晚白垩世-古新世为前陆晚期磨拉石盆地演化阶段；6)古近纪-第四纪为造山隆升断陷盆地形成演化阶段。研究结果表明，珠穆朗玛峰北坡地区显生宙沉积盆地经历了由陆表海盆地-大陆裂谷盆地-被动大陆边缘盆地-前陆盆地-断陷盆地的演化过程。     

藏东玉龙斑岩铜矿地质特征及成矿模型

西藏玉龙斑岩铜矿是世界级超大型铜矿,从其发现开始迄今,众多学者对其展开了深入研究,积累了大量的资料.随着玉龙铜矿开发进入全面实质性阶段,迫切地需要对玉龙铜矿的研究成果进行系统的归纳总结,分析成矿地质特征以及成矿模式,以便指明玉龙铜矿的找矿方向,达到增加储量满足后续开发的需求.笔者利用Micromine软件建立了主要矿体的三维立体模型,分析了矿体以及矿石类型三维空间分布规律.通过总结常量元素、微量元素、稀土元素以及流体包裹体地球化学特征,分析同位素测年,厘定矿床成矿时代,建立出玉龙斑岩铜矿成矿模式.该模式的建立对于玉龙斑岩铜矿乃至三江地区斑岩铜矿床找矿突破和潜力评价具有重要的指导意义和应用价值.     

珠峰地区大气边界层结构及近地层能量交换分析

利用2005年中国科学院珠穆朗玛峰地区科学考察期间的无线电高空探测资料和超声风温仪观测资料,分析了珠穆朗玛峰地区边界层高度、风速、风向和比湿的日变化以及两个海拔高度不同的观测站(珠峰站和曲宗站)的近地层能量交换特征,得到珠穆朗玛峰地区5月份边界层高度日变化比较明显,因冰川风的存在影响了大气边界层,边界层高度最高为3888 m;白天珠穆朗玛峰地区低层都存在逆湿现象。因珠峰站和曲宗站海拔高度、下垫面状况不同,能量交换特征也不同:4~5月份白天珠峰站感热大于潜热,而曲宗站潜热大于感热;珠峰站土壤热通量转为正、负值的时间早于曲宗站。     

Simulating the effects of the 1991 Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption using the ARPEGE atmosphere general circulation model

The climate changes that occured following the volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Phillippines on 15 June 1991 have been simulated using the ARPEGE atmosphere general circulation model （AGCM）. The model was forced by a reconstructed spatial-time distribution of stratospheric aerosols intended for use in long climate simulations. Four statistical ensembles of the AGCM simulations with and without volcanic aerosols over a period of 5 years following the eruption have been made, and the calculated fields have been compared to available observations. The model is able to reproduce some of the observed features after the eruption, such as the winter warming pattern that was observed over the Northern Hemisphere （NH） during the following winters. This pattern was caused by an enhanced Equator-to-pole temperature gradient in the stratosphere that developed due to aerosol heating of the tropics. This in turn led to a strengthening of the polar vortex, which tends to modulate the planetary wave field in such a way that an anomalously positive Arctic Oscillation pattern is produced in the troposphere and at the surface, favouring warm conditions over the NH. During the summer, the model produced a more uniform cooling over the NH.     

庐山云雾及降水的日、季节变化和宏微观物理特征观测研究

庐山云雾观测站2015年重新开始观测试验。利用2015年11月—2018年2月庐山云雾试验站观测的云物理资料和九江站的雷达资料,统计研究了庐山云雾及降水的日、季节变化和宏微观物理特征。结果表明,庐山强降水多发生在夏季,降水强度超过100 mm/h,而云雾天多发生在秋冬春季,最高云和雾天数达25 d/月,最低能见度仅20 m,东北风有利于水汽的冷却凝结。云雾辐射影响下的日最低温度出现在09时前后,即云雾消散前。利用雷达资料对降水分类,庐山秋冬季层状云、积层混合云和对流云降水分别占29%、44%和27%,春夏季的对流云和积层混合云降水分别占83%和17%。与城市降水和雾相比,庐山降水的中、小雨滴多,云雾滴谱的数浓度较低,双峰结构显著,且谱较宽。随着云内降水量级的增大,雨滴的数浓度和尺度不断增加,更易于启动碰并机制,使小于11 μm和大于30 μm云雾滴减少,导致11 μm的峰值更为显著。降雪期间的小云雾滴较为丰富,固态降水更容易通过凇附过程消耗大的过冷云滴。      

斑岩型铜矿找矿预测中环形构造的示矿作用——以玉龙—马拉松多子区为研究区

在斑岩型铜矿资源潜力评价中,斑岩体是圈定铜矿最小找矿预测区的重要依据。研究表明,遥感图像上的许多环形影像与岩浆活动(包括斑岩体)有关。为了快速进行斑岩型铜矿成矿预测,利用遥感技术在西藏玉龙—马拉松多斑岩型铜矿周边地区开展了找矿预测。首先建立了环形构造的遥感解译标志;然后开展了环形构造的解译工作,研究了该区环形构造的展布特征;最后总结了由环形构造推断斑岩体的标志。结果表明,遥感解译的环形构造为该区斑岩型铜矿最小找矿预测区的圈定提供了重要依据。     

THE DENDROCLIMATOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF AN ALPINE SHRUB,CASSIOPE MERTENSIANA,FROM MOUNT RAINIER,WA, USA

The application of dendrochronological techniques to shrubs found in arctic and alpine plant communities is opening previously untapped regions to the exploration of plant‐climate ecological relationships and climate reconstruction. In this pilot study, we present growth (1963–2004), reproduction (1963–2004), and stable carbon isotope ratio (1975–2004) chronologies for Cassiope mertensiana from a subalpine site in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, USA. Based on simple linear correlation analysis, positive correlations characterize plant growth and previous year mean maximum temperature in April and June, suggesting the influence of temperature on snowpack and, in turn, on growing season length, plant and soil insulation, and nutrient and moisture availability. Plant growth and reproduction are significantly correlated with current year July mean maximum temperature and total precipitation, indicating the importance of a warm and extended growing season for optimal plant development. Using step‐wise multiple linear regression analysis, we developed a preliminary calibration model for July mean maximum temperature (R = 0.63), extending over the 1974–2004 time period. This archive has the potential to elucidate multi‐scale, spatially‐explicit, ecological and climatic information for alpine ecosystems situated along a north‐south transect from the southern Yukon to the Pacific Northwest of the United States.     

Palynology of Archean microfossils (c. 3.0 Ga) from the Mount Grant area, Pilbara Craton, Western Australia: Further evidence of biogenicity

Palynological techniques have only rarely been applied to Archean rocks, mainly because of concerns about contamination. However, where microstructures are abundant and well documented, palynology can add considerably to interpretations based on thin-section examination. A modified palynological preparation method, which avoids vigorous physical or chemical methods that might cause the fragmentation of fragile specimens, was applied to black chert from the c. 3.0 Ga Farrel Quartzite of the Mount Grant area, Pilbara Craton, Western Australia, known to contain abundant microstructures of putative biogenic origin.Four main morphological types have been reported from chert thin sections: threads, films, hollow spheres and spindles. These microstructures exhibit morphological and chemical signatures consistent with a biological origin as well as showing features indicative of taphonomic degradation. Nevertheless, the possibility remains that they are artefacts. Similar structures have been attributed to physical processes, such as the accretion of fine particulate matter that has subsequently been redistributed as a result of crystal growth.By extracting structures palynologically, we have increased the probability of a biogenic origin. Firstly, examination of the morphology free of the encompassing matrix demonstrates that they are indeed three-dimensional structures with complex morphology; secondly, the extraction of entire specimens militates against them being particulate matter aggregations, which would simply disintegrate during preparation and thirdly, the chemicals used remove silicates and most other minerals, confirming the organic composition of the structures. To date, we have extracted films, hollow spheres and a few poorly preserved spindles, but preparation continues. The fact that the specimens retain their morphological integrity during palynological extraction argues strongly in favour of a biogenic origin for the microstructures.     

Typology of Natural Hazards and Assessment of Associated Risks in the Mount Bambouto Caldera (Cameroon Line,West Cameroon)

Abstract: Mount Bambouto is a polygenic stratovolcano of the Cameroon Volcanic Line, built between 21?Ma and 4.5?Ma. It is situated approximately 200?km NE of Mount Cameroon, between 09°55′ and 10°15′ longitude east and, 05°25′ and 05°50′ latitude north. The volcano covers an area of 500?km2 and culminates at 2740?m at Mélétan dome and bears a collapsed caldera at the summit (13?×?8?km). Mount Bambouto is characterized by several natural hazards of different origins: meteorological, such as landslides and rock falls; anthropogenic, such as bushfires, tribal wars and deforestation; and volcanological, such as volcanic eruption. The thematic map shows that 55–60% of the caldera has high probability of occurrence of mass movement. The caldera has a high population density (3000 inhabitants), which increases the level of risk, evaluated at approximately $US3.8 million for patrimony, 3000 civilian deaths and destruction of biodiversity.
