焉耆盆地北缘和静逆断裂-褶皱带中晚第四纪变形速率

焉耆盆地为南天山内部的一个山间盆地,盆地北缘发育1排第四纪新生褶皱带,即和静逆断裂-褶皱带。中晚第四纪以来,由于和静逆断裂-褶皱带的持续活动使得在褶皱生长过程中形成的多期洪积地貌面发生反向掀斜变形。利用高精度差分GPS,对褶皱带中部哈尔莫敦背斜区内的多期变形地貌面的地形形态进行了测绘,判定背斜的生长主要以翼旋转为主。利用背斜北翼不同地貌面的反向掀斜角度,分别计算了不同期次地貌面的隆升和缩短变形量。结合原地宇宙成因核素深度剖面法和光释光测年法,对背斜区内的F4,F3b,F2洪积台地面和T1阶地面的形成年龄进行了测定,发现背斜在距今约550ka、428.3+57.6-47.2ka和354.3+34.2-34.8ka不同时段的平均隆升速率从0.31±0.24mm/a下降至0.15±0.02mm/a,同时背斜北翼的翼旋转速度也呈逐渐减小的趋势。但背斜自起始变形开始,缩短速率却大致保持恒定为约0.3mm/a。而这一恒定的缩短速率与现今横跨和静逆断裂-褶皱带所观测的GPS速率具有很好的一致性,说明在天山内部的哈尔莫敦背斜区,短尺度的GPS速率可以代表长尺度的地壳应变速率,同时反映出山体内部一系列断层和褶皱构造在吸收和调节整体变形量时也起到一定的作用。     

Spatial variations of tidal water level and their impact on the exposure patterns of tidal land on the central Jiangsu coast

The exposed area of intertidal zone varies with tidal water level changes. If intercomparisons of satellite images are adopted as a method to determine geomorphological changes of the intertidal zone in response to accretion or erosion processes, then the e?ect of water level variations must be evaluated. In this study, two Landsat TM images overpassing the central Jiangsu coastal waters on 2 January and 7 March 2002, respectively, were treated by the changing detection analysis using Image Di?erencing and Post-classiˉcation Comparison. The simultaneous tide level data from four tide gauge stations along the coast were used for displaying the spatial variations of water levels and determining the elevations of waterlines. The results show that the spatial variations of water levels are highly signiˉcant in the central Jiangsu coastal waters. The huge di?erences of tidal land exposure patterns between the two imaging times are related mainly to the spatial variations of tidal water levels, which are controlled by the di?erences in tidal phases for di?erent imaging times and the spatial variations of water level over the study area at each imaging time. Under complex tidal conditions, e.g., those of the central Jiangsu coastal waters, the tide-surge model should be used to eliminate e?ectively the e?ects of water level variations on remote sensing interpretation of geomorphological changes in the intertidal zone.     

A Least-Cost Approach to Personal Exposure Reduction

Concerns over the potential negative health effects from exposure to air pollution have led to interest in assessing personal exposure and finding ways to reduce it. As journey-time exposure accounts for a disproportionately high amount of an individual's total exposure, this article assesses the potential to apply least-cost techniques within a GIS in order to identify paths of lower journey-time exposure. The methodology adopted uses pollution surfaces for PM₁₀ and CO generated by the dispersion model ADMS, with an analysis mask derived from OS MasterMap to create a least-cost surface. Actual routes taken by a cohort of 11–13 year old children on their journeys to school are used to compare observed journey time exposure with the exposure along alternative routes generated using the least-cost path function. While the least-cost approach proved to be successful in defining low exposure routes the ability to scale up this approach is constrained by the amount of editing required to successfully create an analysis mask from OS MasterMap data. Such alternative routes have the potential to assist in promoting safer environmental choices, however, their likelihood of adoption is dependant on a number of social and environmental influences which affect an individual's route choice.     

Physical disturbance and subtidal habitat structure on open rocky coasts: Effects of wave exposure, extent and intensity

Canopy-forming algae occur across of range of energy environments (i.e., wave sheltered to exposed coasts) where disturbances are frequent (i.e., gap formation) and benthic patterns largely reflect variation in post-disturbance processes. Disturbances vary in extent (area affected) and intensity (degree of damage), and this may affect recolonisation at local scales. On an open oceanic coast, we tested whether habitat structure (patches of canopy algae) differed between heavy and relatively lighter wave exposure (sheltered vs. exposed sides of islands), and whether wave exposure affected the response of prominent habitat-formers to varying disturbance regimes (different sizes of partial and complete canopy removal). Observations of naturally occurring patterns showed sheltered coasts to be characterised by small patches of fucoids, whereas exposed coasts were characterised by large patches of kelp. Canopy-gaps were larger at exposed than sheltered coasts, and mixed canopies constituted > 24% of the subtidal rocky habitat independently of wave exposure. Experimental disturbances showed the local density of kelps to affect recovery through greater recruitment to partial clearings (80% canopy removal). Fucalean algae, on the other hand, mainly recruited into complete clearings (100% removal), but when their recruits were abundant, they also recruited into partial clearings. The covers of filamentous, turf-forming algae increased in all clearings, and more so at exposed than sheltered sites. Extent of disturbance had no detectable effect on recolonisation by canopy-forming algae across the scales examined (i.e., 1.5 m, 3 m diameter loss of canopy). Recolonisation varied among islands kilometres apart, and correlations (r > 0.85) between cover of canopies and cover of their recruits in clearings at the scale of sites, suggested that differences in propagule supply could account for variation in patterns of recolonisation at scales of kilometres. There was no evidence to suggest that the effect of disturbance depended on wave exposure within the range of exposures tested in this study (i.e. open coasts). We recognise that wave exposure can be fundamental to habitat structure of subtidal rocky coasts, but we suggest that its influence may be mediated by the biological setting (e.g., canopy composition).     

不同发育期的太平洋牡蛎在不同干露状态下的成活率研究

用太平洋牡蛎的D形幼虫、壳顶中期幼虫、眼点幼虫、稚贝、幼贝及成体为材料,在8~10℃和20~22℃干、湿环境下干露不同时间对所取样品的成活率进行了比较研究。实验说明太平洋牡蛎其成体、D形幼虫、壳顶中期幼虫、眼点幼虫、稚贝及幼贝在低温湿润的条件下干露时间长,成活率高,而在高温干燥的条件下干露相同的时间成活率明显降低。在温度、湿度相同的条件下,其耐干能力为成贝>眼点幼虫>壳顶中期幼虫>幼贝>稚贝>D形幼虫。本实验为太平洋牡蛎幼虫的异地采苗,稚贝和幼贝的长途运输,成贝低温或干露保存提供了一定的科学依据。

胶东蓬莱金成矿区的S-Pb同位素地球化学和Rb-Sr同位素年代学研究

蓬莱金矿区位于胶东三大金矿带中的栖霞-蓬莱金矿带内。本文系统研究了该金矿化集中区内的黑岚沟、大柳行和河西金矿的 S、Pb、Rb-Sr 同位素地球化学特征,并与招远-掖县成矿带中的玲珑金矿化集中区内的大型-超大型金矿床进行了对比研究。蓬莱金矿区δ~(34)S 值总体变化为6.3‰～9.5‰,平均值为7.5‰。其中河西金矿δ~(34)S 值为7.4‰～8.5‰,黑岚沟金矿δ~(34)S 值为6.3‰～9.5‰,大柳行金矿δ~(34)S 值为6.4‰～8.2‰。不同矿床的硫同位素组成差异十分小,并与玲珑金矿区的硫同位素组成相近(δ~(34)S=6.4‰～8.6‰,平均值为7.6‰)。蓬莱金矿区的铅同位素组成变化小,其中河西金矿~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb 为17.3086～17.4799,~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb 为15.5264～15.5543,~(208)pb/~(204)Pb 为38.0642～38.3698;大柳行金矿~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb 为17.3653～ 17.5037.~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb 为15.5142～15.5355,~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb 为38.1249～38.31 36:黑岚沟金矿~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb 为17.3558～17.5958,~(207)Ph/~(204)Pb 为15.5105～15.5746,~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb为38.0749～38.4361。投影到 Zartman and Doe(1981)铅构造模式图上,成分点落在造山带演化线附近。蓬莱金矿区与玲珑金矿区的铅同位素组成基本一致,部分数据与矿区内煌斑岩的铅同位素组成相近,而与赋矿围岩郭家岭花岗岩相差甚远,表明矿体中的铅可能与煌癍岩有相同的源区。矿石铅呈线性趋势分布,它正好位于煌斑岩与一个极具放射成因铅的胶东群地层的铅同位素组成之间,很可能说明矿石铅是壳幔混合的产物。对蓬莱金矿区黄铁矿的 Rb-Sr 同位素分析结果表明,河西金矿的成矿年龄为122.3±3.1Ma(MSWD=1.7),初始~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr 比值为0.71208;黑岚沟和大柳行金矿的成矿年龄为117.8±6.5Ma(MSWD=17),初始~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr 比值为0.71085。说明蓬莱金矿区具有与玲珑金矿区相近的成矿时代,两者均为120Ma 左右。锶同位素初始比值也说明成矿物质具有壳慢混合的特征。从蓬莱金矿区具有与玲珑金矿区一致的地质、地球化学和年代学特征可知,蓬莱金矿区具有产出大型一超大型金矿的巨大远景。     

西秦岭凤太矿集区花岗闪长斑岩脉的成因类型和年龄及其地质意义

凤太矿集区是西秦岭最重要的金、铅锌、铜多金属成矿区之一。本次工作对产于矿集区中北部NWW向断裂带内的孔棺和金铜沟花岗闪长斑岩脉进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,获得(230.7±1.8)Ma和(230.4±1.8)Ma的年龄,属中三叠世。两岩脉稀土元素配分呈右倾型,轻、重稀土强烈分馏,无明显Eu异常,亏损高场强元素,Nb/Ta比值接近陆壳;87Sr/86Sr同位素比值分别为0.712 833±0.000 017和0.712 365±0.000 016。地球化学分析表明成岩物质以壳源为主,岩浆可能主要来自扬子板块北缘碧口群的部分熔融,源区存在石榴子石等矿物残留,无斜长石残留,形成于同碰撞初始阶段。结合区域构造和岩浆特征,认为凤太矿集区经历了250 Ma左右的洋壳俯冲阶段、230 Ma左右的同碰撞阶段以及220—200 Ma的后碰撞阶段。岩脉230 Ma的年龄限定了区内NWW向断裂带活动的时间上限。区内NWW向构造约形成于中三叠世,NE向构造发育于晚三叠世。区域构造、岩浆及金、铅锌多金属成矿的时空耦合,暗示了三者都是印支期秦岭造山作用过程的产物。     

安徽铜陵矿集区中生代侵入岩体年代学研究及其成矿指示意义

基于前人在铜陵矿集区获得的大量高精度同位素定年数据,本文补充测定了研究程度相对较低的棋子坑、瑶山、荷花塘等11个小型侵入体的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄,年龄分布在147～131 Ma之间。通过对区内成岩-成矿时代进行系统分析,提出了该区为一燕山期陆内"瞬时大规模成矿作用"形成的大型矿集区。区内燕山期成矿岩体主要包括花岗闪长岩类、石英(二长)闪长岩类和辉石(二长)闪长岩类等3类中酸性侵入岩,其成岩时代主要集中在152～130Ma之间,其中,花岗闪长岩集中在148～137 Ma、石英(二长)闪长岩在152～130 Ma、辉石(二长)闪长岩在150～134 Ma,区内主要矿床中获得的辉钼矿Re-Os成矿年龄分布在141～137Ma,成岩与成矿时代相差约10Ma以内,且成矿年龄具有自东向西逐渐变新的特征,区内相邻矿田成矿时代相差2Ma左右。铜陵矿集区在141～137 Ma的短时限内三次幕式大规模成矿作用为全球陆内岩浆成矿作用中所罕见。
