云南大红山矿区梳状断裂构造系及其控矿作用

大红山铜（铁）矿床的形成与分布受控于康滇地轴早元古代裂陷海槽背景下发育的梳状断裂构造系;梳状断裂构造系通过控制沉积盆地、曼岗河组沉积作用、火山活动等间接控制了铜（铁）矿空间展布和定位.大红山矿区外围找矿首先应沿着同沉积断裂寻找古海底洼地.在康滇地轴基底大红山群及同时代含矿火山-沉积建造普遍被中生界覆盖的情况下,同沉积断裂相对于其他标志可能更易于识别,因而可作为区内勘查大红山式铜（铁）矿的重要准则.     

东川-易门式铜矿床成矿作用研究的几个问题

从宏观基础地质入手,按矿床学的一些基本概念,针对东川-易门铜矿床地质地球化学特征,探讨了一些存在争议的重要问题。研究认为:狮山段是绿汁江组下部独立存在的地层层位;东川-易门式铜矿床属沉积-改造成因,其中的层状铜矿属沉积成岩成因,不是"热液成矿";所谓东川-易门式矿床(稀矿山除外)为"喷流沉积成矿"或"岩浆叠加",尚依据不足;刺穿体是构造作用产物,对成矿有利,是良好的找矿标志,其中的角砾岩主要是沉积角砾岩与构造角砾岩,或沉积-构造角砾岩,不足以冠名"隐爆角砾岩(筒)"。     

云南易门凤山铜矿床“阶梯空当”定位矿体及其构造地球化学异常证据

通过易门凤山铜矿床控矿构造解析与13~15中段南部矿体空间位置对比,矿体向SW深部侧伏,预测15中段2、4号矿体的SW端深部具找矿潜力。在纵投影图上,夹持矿体的"空当"呈现"阶梯、斜列、平行、等距"特点,表现出三个"空当"带与四个矿体带相间交替、平行斜列的组合型式。推测"阶梯空当"夹持的四个空白区为有利的找矿地段。在24号勘探线以南、15中段坑道开展1︰500断裂构造地球化学填图,圈定了5个铜异常和3个主要的元素组合(Cu-In-Bi-Hg-Sb)异常,其中,Ⅱ、Ⅲ号异常与"阶梯空当"定位的d、e位置相对应,为重点找矿靶区,对凤山铜矿床南部、深部找矿具有指示意义。     

陆生植物氮同位素组成与气候环境变化研究进展

近年来,由于植物氮同位素组成(δ15N)记载了气候环境变化的信息,因而被广泛应用于全球变化研究中,成为古气候环境再造和了解现代气候环境变化信息的有力工具。然而,人们对气候环境引起的δ15N变化及其指示的气候环境意义并不完全清楚,这就有可能限制植物δ15N在古气候环境变化等领域研究中的应用。在概述植物氮同位素分馏和植物不同氮源的氮同位素分布的基础上,分析了温度、降水、大气CO2浓度和海拔高度等气候环境因子对陆生植物δ15N的影响以及它们的关系。指出了目前研究中存在的问题及其研究前景,认为在全球变化研究中利用植物氮同位素技术不仅可以重建古气候环境(如重建大气CO2浓度变化),揭示历史时期温度、降水的变化,而且还可以在一定的时间和空间上综合反映生态系统氮循环的特征。     

斑岩铜矿成矿构造背景研究进展

斑岩铜矿是指与具斑状结构的中酸性侵入岩伴生,蚀变与矿化受流体、构造控制且分带明显,矿石以细脉浸染状为主,低品位、大储量的铜矿床,是最重要的铜矿床类型。大地构造背景对斑岩铜矿的形成具有重要意义,经典的斑岩铜矿主要产于岛弧、陆缘弧环境。然而,近年来国内矿床学家发现,国内形成于大陆环境的斑岩铜矿与大洋板块俯冲、板块消减作用无关,斑岩铜矿还可产于碰撞造山带,甚至是在陆内环境。相比之下,不同构造背景下形成的斑岩铜矿床含矿岩浆、成矿物质来源、矿床成因等方面存在一定差异与共性。综述了目前斑岩铜矿研究内容中的关于构造背景的一些重要观点和几个重要进展,对比了不同构造背景下形成的斑岩铜矿床的含矿岩浆、蚀变矿化、成矿流体等方面的共性与差异,以期对斑岩型矿床的成因与找矿提供一定的线索。     

Research Progress in Responses of Modern Terrestrial Plant Carbon Isotope Composition to Climate Change

Global climate change has been one of the most concerned environmental problems in the world since the 1980s. Since stable carbon composition (¹³C) in plant tissues can record abundant information on climate changes, it has been widely used as an important climate proxy in global change studies and becomes a powerful tool for obtaining paleoclimate information, understanding paleoenvironment reconstruction and modern climate change, and predicting future climate trends. However, a lot of potential uncertainties have always involved in the reconstruction of paleoclimate and paleoenvironment by carbon isotope of the past period sediment or fossils. Among them, the most dominant uncertainty is due to our poor understanding of the relations between carbon isotope ratios of plants and climatic factors and the climatic and environmental significance indicated by modern plant ¹³C. This may limit the application of plant ¹³C in the study of climatic and environmental changes. Based on the Summary of plant ¹³C fractionation and carbon isotope distribution of different photosynthetic plants, the effects of environmental factors, e.g., temperature, precipitation, atmospheric CO₂ concentration, and altitude on terrestrial plant ¹³C and their relationships were reviewed in this paper, and the response mechanism of plant ¹³C to climate changes were also analyzed. Furthermore, the current existing problems and the future prospects in carbon isotope study were discussed. It is pointed out that strengthening some studies such as the response of C₄ plants ¹³C to climate environmental parameters, the transformation relation of different scale plant ¹³C, intersection and permeation of related disciplines, and various proxies and scientific method, will undoubtedly make us have a more accurate understanding of the climate history and eventually broaden the development of the field during the process of global change study by plant carbon isotope techniques.     

台风水汽稳定同位素组成与天气过程的关系——以2015 年13 号台风“苏迪罗”为例

基于台风“苏迪罗”（1513）影响前后南京实时高频监测的水汽稳定同位素数据,并结合再分析资料、HYSPLIT后向轨迹模型分析了大气水汽δ¹⁸O与天气过程之间的关系以及大气水汽过量氘所指示的水汽来源。结果表明,1）整个台风影响过程水汽δ¹⁸O先保持基本不变后一直下降的趋势,而水汽过量氘则呈现完全相反的变化趋势。2）根据台风“苏迪罗”影响前后南京水汽δ¹⁸O变化特征,将其划分为3个阶段：Ⅰ阶段水汽δ¹⁸O较高与南京地区较为稳定的大气条件相对应,水汽过量氘值较低指示南京地区主要受海洋水汽影响;Ⅱ阶段台风环流及其残压和北方南下冷空气相互作用造成南京地区强降水,水汽凝结和降雨蒸发的共同作用导致水汽δ¹⁸O不断贫化,较高的水汽过量氘表明南京地区主要受海洋和局地混合水汽的影响;Ⅲ阶段可能是中尺度下沉气流导致南京地区极端偏负的δ¹⁸O和高水汽过量氘。     

海进体系域碳氧同位素地球化学响应——以黔西南地区三叠系为例

层序地层研究表明,位于扬子地块西南缘的黔西南地区在中三叠世末期(相当于Ladinian-Carnian期)出现了一次与全球同步的大规模海侵,形成了一个向上变深的碳酸盐岩台地淹没沉积层序。垄头组顶部和竹竿坡组分别是海进体系域(TST)的下、上部分。碳、氧同位素研究表明,垄头组顶部自下而上δ(18O)持续增大,而δ(13C)先逐渐增大,后在顶部界面附近快速下降,反映了垄头组顶部在暴露环境下氧化作用的结果。竹竿坡组δ(13C)自下而上逐渐增大,δ(18O)总体呈现逐渐减小趋势,反映了海平面变化特征。研究认为,海进体系域的δ(13C)和δ(18O)演化不但反映了海平面和沉积环境变化,同时对密集段(CS)、层序界面和古暴露面等也有很好的识别作用,在层序地层研究中具有重要的意义。     

Groundwater geochemistry of the Chihuahua City region in the Rio Conchos Basin (northern Mexico) and implications for water resources management

The Chihuahua City region, located in the semiarid-arid northern highlands of Mexico, has experienced intensive groundwater abstraction during the last 40 years to meet water demands in the region. A geochemical survey was carried out to investigate the evolution from baseline to modern conditions of a 130-km flow path including the El Sauz–Chihuahua–Aldama–San Diego de Alcalá regions. The research approach included the use of major chemical elements, chlorofluorocarbons and environmental isotope (¹⁸O, ²H, ¹³C and ¹⁴C) tracers. Stable isotopes indicate that groundwater evolves from the evaporation of local rainfall and surface water. Groundwater located at the lower end of the flow section is up to 6000 years old and older groundwater in the order of 9000 years BP was found in a deep well located in the upper part of the flow system, implying contribution from a neighbour basin. The background groundwater chemistry upstream of Chihuahua City results from feldspar weathering. Beyond Chihuahua City the chemical conditions are strongly modified owing to disposal of sewage from public and industrial water supplies into the Rio Chuviscar, subsequent allocation of this water to agricultural irrigation areas and direct infiltration under the river bed. As a consequence, anions like chloride and sulphate are mainly related to surface sources. Nitrate is controlled in part by sewage from public supply and industry and in part by agricultural practices. Arsenic and fluoride are related to weathering of rock formations of local mineralized ranges and subsequent enrichment of the basin-fill by magmatic processes. The results of this study have implications for groundwater management in an arid region that depends entirely on groundwater for domestic, industrial and agricultural water consumption.
