Petrology, geochemistry and isotopic ages of eclogites from the Dulan UHPM Terrane, the North Qaidam, NW China

The Dulan eclogite–gneiss region is located in the eastern part of the North Qaidam eclogite belt, NW China. Widespread evidence demonstrates that this region is a typical ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic terrane. Eclogites occur as lenses or layers in both granitic and pelitic gneisses. Two distinguished sub-belts can be recognized and differ in mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry. The North Dulan Belt (NDB) has tholeiitic protoliths with high TiO₂ and lower Al₂O₃ and MgO contents. REE patterns and trace element contents resemble those of N-type and E-type MORB. In contrast, eclogites in the South Dulan Belt (SDB) are of island arc protoliths with low TiO₂, high Al₂O₃ and show LREE-enriched and HFSE-depleted patterns. Sm–Nd isotope analyses give isochron ages of 458–497 Ma for eclogite-facies metamorphism for the two sub-belts. The ages are similar to those of Yuka and Altun eclogites in the western extension of the North Qaidam-Altun eclogite belt. The Dulan UHP metamorphic terrane, together with several other recently recognized eclogite-bearing terrenes within the North Qaidam-Altun HP-UHP belt, constitute the key to the understanding of the tectonic evolution of the northern Tibetan Plateau. The entire UHP belt extends for more than 1000 km from the Dulan UHP terrane in the southeast to the Altun eclogite–gneiss terrane in the west. This super-belt marks an early Paleozoic continental collision zone between the Qaidam Massif and the Qilian Massif.     

西藏纳木错晚更新世以来湖面变化和藏北高原古大湖的演化

根据西藏纳木错及邻区发现的多处湖岸阶地和高位湖相沉积,确定了藏北高原古大湖的存在。水准测量表明,在纳木错沿岸发育了6级湖岸阶地,以及拔湖48～139.2m的高位湖相沉积;在拔湖26m以下,发育有8～30条湖岸堤;一条明显的湖蚀凹槽则集中出现在拔湖17.5～19.8m的高度上,与纳木错和仁错的分水垭口的高度相当。纳木错沿岸和邻区湖相或湖滨相沉积物的铀系年龄测定表明,高位湖相沉积形成于115.9～71.8kaB.P.的晚更新世早期;第6至第2级阶地形成于53.7～28.2kaB.P.的晚更新世中晚期;与湖蚀凹槽相当的湖滨相沉积则稍早于29.3kaB.P.;第2至第1级阶地,14C测定结果为2350～10390aB.P.。     

Measurement of Carbon Dioxide Emissions Plumes from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska Oil Fields

Large carbon dioxide plumes with concentrations up to 45 ppm aboveambient levels were measured about 15 km downwind of the Prudhoe Bay, Alaskamajor oil production facilities, located at 70° N Lat. above the ArcticCircle. The measured emissions were 1.3 × 10³ metrictons (C) hour^-1 (11.4× 10⁶ metric tons(C) year^-1), six times greater than the combustion emissionsassumed by Jaffe and coworkers in J. Atmos. Chem. 20 (1995), 213–227,based on 1989 reported Prudhoe Bay oil facility fuel consumption data, andfour times greater than the total C emissions reported by the oil facilitiesfor the same months as the measurement time periods. Variations in theemissions were estimated by extrapolating the observed emissions at a singlealtitude for all tundra research transect flights conducted downwind of theoil fields. These 30 flights yielded an average emission rate of1.02 × 10³ metric tons (C) hour^-1 with astandard deviation of 0.33 × 10³. These quantity ofemissions are roughly equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions of7–10 million hectares of arctic tussock tundra (Oechel and Vourlitis,Trends in Ecol. Evolution 9 (1994), 324–329).     

二维温盐环流模式研究14C在海洋中的分布

海洋碳循环模式中常使用放射性同位素14C来检验该模式的物理模型是否较好地反映了海洋中的大尺度变化的过程。本工作使用的物理模型是包括太平洋、大西洋和南大洋在内的二维温盐环流模式，在给定的年平均海表强迫下积分4000年后，环流达到准稳态，其定常流场用来驱动14C模式。对14C模式积分5000年以上，可得到14C稳态的分布。使用不同的二氧化碳海气交换系数和垂直湍流扩散系数值进行了7个实验，发现使用Broecker等的交换系数方程和扩散系数值依深度从0.6增加到1.45 cm2/s，模拟的结果较好。使用观测到的大气中14C含量，进一步研究了工业革命后及核试验后的14C在海洋中的穿透，模拟结果与现有的一些资料进行了比较，总体上给出了合理的结果。

库车盆地西北缘下第三系碳、氧同位素特征及成岩环境

库车盆地西北缘及柯坪地区下第三系碳酸盐岩稳定同位素分析结果显示氧同位素组成在相对较小的范围内变化，而碳同位素组成变化很大。沉积学研究表明塔拉克组和小库孜拜组海相地层主要为潮坪、萨布哈和渴湖相沉积，在成岩过程中或成岩期后，沉积物不同程度地受到了淡水作用的影响。所分析的样品大部分形成于大气淡水成岩环境，富集１２Ｃ，δ１３Ｃ为正值的样品一般形成于海水成岩环境。稳定同位素分析是研究成岩作用的有效手段之一。

新疆苏吉泉石墨矿床产在海西期花岗岩体中，矿石具十分独特的球状构造，石墨的δ１３Ｃ值分布范围为－２０．５‰－２３．９‰，平均值为－２２．０‰，表明该石墨矿床碳质的有机成因。围岩中特别是中石碳统的含碳沉积岩被海西中期花岗岩岩浆同化，使碳质聚集并重结晶成石墨。
