内蒙古额济纳旗苏泊淖尔石制品的发现及当时的环境特征

在进行地质环境调查过程中,在内蒙古额济纳旗苏泊淖尔Ⅰ级湖积阶地面上发现古人类遗存的石制品,包括石砧、石斧、石片、石核等,大致应属于全新世的遗存。天鹅湖剖面距地表70.5cm深处14C测年结果为4930a±152a,表明该剖面主要形成于全新世,与苏泊淖尔石器的时代相同,其中的记录可反映古人类活动时期的气候特征。据孢粉组合变化可以确定,该区气候总体处于干旱—半干旱状态。剖面下部在相对干旱的背景下显示出一定程度的温湿气候环境,剖面中部则为干旱稳定发展期,成为全剖面干旱程度最强、温度较低的时期,而剖面上部又表现出温度和湿度略有升高的趋势。     

浅谈地震剖面的假象识别

假象识别是正确解释地震剖面的前提,也是描述地震成像保真度(精准度)的主要标准之一.本文通过分析反射地震剖面实例,对几种常见的、易被误解的地震成像假象的特征进行了分类阐述,提出基于成因识别地震成像假象的思路.从地震剖面成像过程来看,假象的成因包括信号误判、成像畸变和波速模型误差这三个主要因素.许多不易被识别的假象起源于地震数据处理成像过程中对信号的误判,犹如“张冠李戴”;成像畸变假象的根源包括成像照明度、资料频宽和方法假设等方面的缺陷,造成抹痕等成像结果畸变假象;当地震波速度模型误差较大时,地震成像结果不仅会出现成像位置错误,还可能在波阻抗不连续点出现散射拖尾假象.因此,衡量地震成像精准度的标准应包括成像结果的分辨率、位置准确度和假象识别三个要素.这些要素相互影响,因此应该根据研究目标和实际情况,综合评判地震成像中假象的影响.     

On the Layering Artifacts in Seismic Imageries

A common feature in seismic imageries of the crust and mantle is a layering pattern.Layering structures do exist in multiple scales,such as layered strata and unconformities in local and regional scales,and undulating seismic discontinuities in the crust and mantle.However,layering arti-fact also exists due to limitations in seismic processing and data coverage.There is a tendency for seis-mic stacking methods to over-map reflectors and scatters into along-isochron layers.In contrast,seis-mic tomography met...     

等价各向异性介质一阶拟声波 方程正演模拟及其效率分析

为克服各向异性弹性波动方程正演模拟的局限,本文研究了各向异性介质拟声波方程的交错网格有限差分数值解法.首先,从VTI介质胡克定律和qP-qSV波频散关系两种思路出发,通过声假设近似,给出了两种不同形式的VTI介质一阶拟声波方程,并通过引入波场的伪速度分量,推导了一种新的VTI介质一阶应力-速度方程,并通过旋转坐标系将其推广到TTI介质中;其次,构造了一阶拟声波方程的交错网格高阶有限差分格式,并推导了相应的PML边界条件;最后,对本文方法中固有的qSV人为干扰波的产生机制和压制方法进行了简单讨论.数值结果表明:3种一阶拟声波方程在运动学和动力学上是等价的,相对于各向异性弹性波正演模拟,其节省了内存,提高了计算效率;各向异性因素会影响反射波旅行时和振幅等波场特征,在后续的处理、反演和解释中不可忽略;VTI介质HESS模型的逆时偏移结果也验证了本文方法的合理性.      

中国中部地区洛南盆地刘湾旧石器遗址的宇生核素埋藏测年研究（英文）

The Luonan Basin is a key region of early human settlement in Central China with more than 300 discovered Paleolithic sites. Artifact layer 1 of the Liuwan site was dated to approximately 0.6 million years(Ma) based on correlation with the well-dated loess–paleosol sequence of the central Chinese Loess Plateau. This study reassessed the age of the Liuwan artifact layer via an absolute dating method, namely, ²⁶Al/¹⁰Be burial dating. We determined the burial age of artifact layer 1, which was most likely at least 0.60 ± 0.12 Ma(1?), using three simple burial ages. The new burial age confirmed the previous estimated age and provided a considerably accurate age range. Therefore, we suggest the use of the ²⁶Al/¹⁰Be burial dating method in thin loess-covered Paleolithic sites around the Qinling Mountain Range is helpful to understand the early human behavior.     

Creating high-resolution bare-earth digital elevation models (DEMs) from stereo imagery in an area of densely vegetated deciduous forest using combinations of procedures designed for lidar point cloud filtering

For areas of the world that do not have access to lidar, fine-scale digital elevation models (DEMs) can be photogrammetrically created using globally available high-spatial resolution stereo satellite imagery. The resultant DEM is best termed a digital surface model (DSM) because it includes heights of surface features. In densely vegetated conditions, this inclusion can limit its usefulness in applications requiring a bare-earth DEM. This study explores the use of techniques designed for filtering lidar point clouds to mitigate the elevation artifacts caused by above ground features, within the context of a case study of Prince William Forest Park, Virginia, USA. The influences of land cover and leaf-on vs. leaf-off conditions are investigated, and the accuracy of the raw photogrammetric DSM extracted from leaf-on imagery was between that of a lidar bare-earth DEM and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission DEM. Although the filtered leaf-on photogrammetric DEM retains some artifacts of the vegetation canopy and may not be useful for some applications, filtering procedures significantly improved the accuracy of the modeled terrain. The accuracy of the DSM extracted in leaf-off conditions was comparable in most areas to the lidar bare-earth DEM and filtering procedures resulted in accuracy comparable of that to the lidar DEM.     

Speciation of Trace Elements in Acidic PoreWaters from Waste Rock Dumps by Ultrafiltration andIon Exchange Combined with ICPMS and ICPOES

A speciation procedure developed on reactive acidicpore water samples from mining areas is presented.Methods with low consumption of solution are requiredthat allow rapid sample preparation to avoid equilibriumchanges as far as possible. The entire procedure includesonly three parallel separation steps. One aliquot is filteredthrough an 1 kd ultrafiltration membrane to separate traceelements adsorbed or complexed by colloids. One cationand one anion exchange are performed with two additionalaliquots to determine simple hydrated ions and smallinorganic complex ions. Commonly used procedures ofion exchange seem to be problematic. This new techniqueis based on a novel ion exchanger. Subsequently the threefractions obtained from the separation procedures and theoriginal pore water sample are analysed by ICPMS, ICPOES,ET-AAS, Flame-AAS, FES and IC to determine the concentrationsof the major ions and additionally up to 50 trace elements. Theinfluence of pH-values and several dissolved compounds iscontrolled in experiment series with synthetically preparedsolutions to reveal potential artifacts.

Starch grain analysis reveals function of grinding stone tools at Shangzhai site,Beijing

Prehistoric groundstone tools including slabs (metate, mo-pan) and mullers (mano, mo-bang) are often considered to be tools that were used to process cereals in ancient China. Most archaeologists believe that groundstone tools are indicators of an agrarian economy. This study employed starch grain analysis to examine a slab and a muller excavated from the Shangzhai Site (7500–7000 cal a BP), Beijing. Identifiable starch grains recovered from the stone tools were classified into 9 genera and 12 species, most of which were from acorns and foxtail millets. Remains from the oak species Q. mongolicus, Q. acuttssima, and Q. dentate were identified as well as a few starch grains from broomcorn (Panicum miliaseum) and bean (Vigna sp.). Other starch grains were from unidentifiable roots and grasses. A variety of starch grains indicates that the grinding stone tools were used to process not only cereals, but also other seeds or roots that had to be ground or husked, thus bringing into question the aforementioned cereal hypothesis. Because the numbers of starch grains from nuts and millets were so large, both gathering and cultivation might have been important economic patterns before 7000 years ago in Beijing area. Moreover, the starch remains are derived from plants that indicate that the paleoclimate of Beijing was wetter and warmer than today’s.
