Evidence of fluid inclusion for thermal fluid-bearing hydrocarbon movements in Qiongdongnan Basin, South China Sea

Diagenetic research and inclusion observance indicate that there are seven types of inlcusion in the reservoirs in the Qiongdongnan Basin. Based on the fluorescence color, ratio of gas/liquid, formation temperature, salinity and organic component of fluid inclusions, three events of thermal fluid movement were found, and only the second and third events are relative to hydrocarbon migration and accumulation with the temperatures of 140–150°C and 170–190°C., respectively.The mechanism of gas migration in aqueous phase suggests that the discharging site of thermal fluid is the favourable location for natural gas accumulation.

盆地演化认识中的几个问题

本文论述了盆地演化认识中的几个主要问题。一是陆缘裂解过程，华南边缘传统上认为是被动裂谷边缘的一个例子，其东部沉积物记录了压实的历史，它明显不同于被动裂谷作用模式，而是显示早第三纪大规模上隆和侵蚀的特征；而且，该地区覆盖在下地壳楔形体上面，具有比周围地壳明显要高的地震速度和密度，指示岩浆底侵作用。这些证据说明，与被动裂谷作用模式相比，华南边缘与主动裂谷作用模式较为一致，它是由早第三纪华南边缘东部底下地幔柱形成的主动裂谷。另一个问题是关于页岩的浅部破裂作用机理。大多数研究者认为，微裂隙的形成需要高孔隙压力，它限于深埋、低渗透率的岩石。然而，最近从北海观察表明，在第三纪页岩中，整个盆地范围内的破裂型式从未达到大于几百米的埋藏深度。这说明泥质源岩经历了水压破裂和浅部脱水，在破裂前可能达到深埋后生作用所需要的深度，实质上渗透率的改变是由于源岩的浅部破裂作用可能根本上改变了烃类的初次运移时间和效率。     

Surface fault traces,fault plane solution and spatial distribution of the aftershocks of the September 13, 1986 earthquake of Kalamata (Southern Greece)

A shallow earthquake ofM _S=6.2 occurred in the southern part of the Peloponnesus, 12 km north of the port of the city of Kalamata, which caused considerable damage. The fault plane solution of the main shock, geological data and field observations, as well as the distribution of foci of aftershocks, indicate that the seismic fault is a listric normal one trending NNE-SSW and dipping to WNW. The surface ruptures caused by the earthquake coincide with the trace of a neotectonic fault, which is located 2–3 km east of the city of Kalamata and which is related to the formation of Messiniakos gulf during the Pliocene-Quaternary tectonics. Field observations indicate that the earthquake is due to the reactivation of the same fault.A three-days aftershock study in the area, with portable seismographs, recorded many aftershocks of which 39 withM _S1.7 were very well located. The distribution of aftershocks forms two clusters, one near the epicenter of the main shock in the northern part of the seismogenic volume, and the other near the epicenter of the largest aftershock (M _S=5.4) in the southern part of this volume. The central part of the area lacks aftershocks, which probably indicates that this is the part of the fault which slipped smoothly during the earthquake.     

福建漳州盆地活动断裂研究

本文从形态学和运动学的角度,确定并系统地研究了二十条主要活动断裂。北西向断裂以正-左行走滑型为主,北东向断裂以右行走滑-逆断层为主,两组断裂构成活动断裂网络。用 C¹⁴年龄数据计算得到了最近5990—1870年以来,各取样点地壳平均升降速率的变化范围是+3.53mm/a 至-0.65mm/a。用布仑法求得的九龙江活动断裂现代平均滑动速率是1.7mm/a。更新世至现代构造应力场的最大主压应力是以缓倾角、走向为 NW290°左右为特征的。350m 深处最大主压应力是700—760bar。两组断裂交汇形成的高渗透率带,对形成对流型中、低温热水型热田是十分有利的。此外,对该区的地震活动性亦进行了讨论。     

Latent and sensible heat fluxes under active and weak phases of the summer monsoon of 1986

An analysis of the meteorological data collected by the research vessel ORV Sagarkanya for the mean latent and sensible heat fluxes over the Arabian Sea has indicated appreciable changes between active and weak phases of the southwest monsoon of 1986. We suggest that: (a) the presence of a core of low level winds associated with the Somali jet and its southward shift during the season, along with (b) a ridge in surface pressure over the central Arabian Sea could be responsible for the deficit in monsoon rainfall along the west coast of India in 1986.     

攀枝花-西昌古裂谷与“活化”的地球物理特征

本文对近年来在攀枝花-西昌（攀西）构造带所做的重力、地磁、航磁、古地磁、遥感、天然地震、大地电磁测深、地热和爆炸地震探测资料,进行了综合分析和研究,得出了该构造带的深部结构和地球物理场的特征。基于此,提出了攀西吉裂谷存在的地球物理标志,论述了该裂谷带与现代强烈活动的裂谷带和已消亡的古裂谷的差异与其“活化”的证据。本文最后提出,这是一个被动“活化”的古裂谷的论点。     

龙泉山活动断裂带及其潜在地震能力的探讨

本文根据测龄样品的断代分析、地壳形变测量以及沿断裂带的地震活动等对龙泉山断裂带的活动性进行了讨论。并根据断层的几何结构分段特征，运用活断层长度与地震震级的关系，探讨了该断裂带的潜在地震能力。结果表明，龙泉山断裂带属一条中、晚更新世有活动的断裂带。有历史地震史料记载以来，发生最大的一次地震是１９６７年仁寿大林场５．５级地震，近代地震活动主要以中、小地震活动为主，因此该断裂带属一条中强活动断裂带。从地震活动看，断裂带中南段的活动强度相对北段要大；西坡断裂的活动强度又大于东坡断裂，且西坡断裂具有较明显的分段活动特征。该断裂带上未来可能发生地需的最大震级为５．５±０．５级。     

植被和气候对阿拉斯加和加拿大北部北极苔原地区多年冻土活动层厚度的影响

The active layer is the top layer of permafrost soils that thaws during the summer season due to increased ambient temperatures and solar radiation inputs. This layer is important because almost all biological activity takes place there luring the summer. The depth of active layer thaw is influenced by climatic conditions. Vegetation has also been found to have a strong impact on active layer thaw, because it can intercept incoming radiation, thereby insulating the soil from ambient conditions. In order to look at the role of vegetation and climate on active layer thaw, we measured thaw depth and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI; a proxy for aboveground plant biomass) along a latitudinal temperature gradient in arctic Alaska and Canada. At each site several measurements of thaw and NDVI were taken in areas with high amounts of vegetation and areas with little to no vegetation. Results show that the warmest regions, which had the greatest levels of NDVI, had relatively shallow thaw depths, and the coldest regions, which had the lowest levels of NDVI, also had relatively shallow thaw depths. The intermediate regions, which had moderate levels of NDVI and air temperature, had the greatest depth of thaw. These results indicate that temperature and vegetation interact to control the depth of the active layer across a range of arctic ecosystems. By developing a relationship to explain thaw depth through NDVI and temperature or latitude, the possibility exists to extrapolate thaw depth over large scales via remote sensing applications.     

Local erosion rates versus active tectonics: cosmic ray exposure modelling in Provence (south-east France)

Over the past decade, in situ-produced cosmogenic nuclides have revolutionised the study of landscape evolution. In particular, numerous studies have demonstrated that, in active tectonic settings, cosmic ray exposure dating of deformed or displaced geomorphic features makes it possible to quantify long-term deformation rates. In western European countries, erosion due to climatically driven processes and human activities is probably the factor that most limits the accuracy of exposure ages and landscape modification rates. In this study, we present the results of a depth-profiling technique applied to alluvial terraces located along the Rhône and the Moyenne Durance rivers. The expected decrease with depth of the measured ¹⁰Be concentrations has been modelled using a χ² inversion method in order to constrain the exposure history of the alluvial sediments. The results suggest that: (1) over the Quaternary, the local surface erosion rates including both regional uplift and climatically driven processes acting on landforms are on the order of 30 m/Myr in southeastern France, and (2) providing a fairly good bracketing of the exposure age, the modelled abandonment age of alluvial terraces affected by the Moyenne Durance Fault allows estimating incision rates, comparing the alluvial terrace elevations with topographic river profiles, and a minimum vertical slip rate value of roughly 0.02 mm/yr for the southern segment of the Moyenne Durance Fault.
