贺兰山寒武纪早期苏峪口组水下冲积扇的发现及意义

寒武纪早期的苏峪口组是贺兰山地区地质历史重要转换时期的地质单位,长期被认为是近岸海滩沉积.通过3年来对苏峪口组的研究,新识别了苏峪口组沉积环境为一个水下冲积扇,在岩性、岩相、生物群等方面都有新的发现和新的认识.水下冲积扇以冲刷面为底,砾石成分比较复杂,具砾砂混杂、不等粒结构,内部发育递变层理,具重力流的沉积特征.全区辉绿岩脉锆石年龄集中在5.3～5.4 Ma,是开裂盆地早期出现的标志年龄,说明开裂盆地的出现是造成苏峪口组早中期水下冲积扇发育的主要原因.     

A numerical modelling and experimental study of flow width dynamics on alluvial fans

Alluvial fans are dynamic landforms, the evolution of which is controlled by both external environmental forcing (climate, tectonics and base level change) and internal process‐form feedbacks. The latter include changes in flow configuration (between sheetflow and channelized flow states), driven by aggradation and degradation, which may in turn promote changes in sediment transport capacity. Recent numerical modelling indicates that such feedbacks may lead to dramatic and persistent fan entrenchment in the absence of external forcing. However, the parameterization of flow width within such models is untested to date and is subject to considerable uncertainty. This paper presents results from an experimental study of flow width dynamics on an aggrading fan in which spatial and temporal patterns of fan inundation are monitored continuously using analysis of digital vertical photography. Observed flow widths are compared with results from a simple theoretical model developed for non‐equilibrium (aggradational) conditions. Results demonstrate that the theoretical model is capable of capturing the first‐order characteristics of width adjustment over the course of the experiment, and indicate that flow width is a function of fan aggradation rate. This illustrates that models of alluvial flow width derived for equilibrium conditions may have limited utility in non‐equilibrium situations, despite their widespread use to date.

Controls on sediment evacuation from glacially modified and unmodified catchments in the eastern Sierra Nevada,California

The degree of glacial modification in small catchments along the eastern Sierra Nevada, California, controls the timing and pattern of sediment flux to the adjacent fans. There is a close relationship between the depth of fan‐head incision and the pattern and degree of Late Pleistocene catchment erosion by valley glaciers; catchments with significant glacial activity are associated with deeply incised fan heads, whereas fans emerging from glacially unmodified catchments are unincised. We suggest that the depth of fan‐head incision is controlled by the potential for sediment storage during relatively dry ice‐free periods, which in turn is related to the downstream length of the glacially modified valley and creation of accommodation through valley floor slope lowering and glacial valley overdeepening and widening. Significant storage in glacially modified basins during ice‐free periods leads to sediment supply‐limited conditions at the fan head and causes deep incision. In contrast, a lack of sediment trapping allows quasi‐continuous sediment supply to the fan and prevents incision of the fan head. Sediment evacuation rates should thus show large variations in glacially modified basins, with major peaks during glacial and lows during interglacial or ice‐free periods, respectively. In contrast, sediment removal from glacially unmodified catchments in this type of setting should be free of this effect, and will be dominated instead by short‐term variations, modulated for example by changes in vegetation cover or storm frequency. This distinction may help improve our understanding of long‐term sediment yields as a measure of erosional efficiency. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

拉萨地区晚第四纪地壳的抬升与拉萨河的向南迁移

伊通盆地梁家地区奢岭组混源扇三角洲内幕结构

伊通盆地梁家地区(二号断层上盘)钻井揭示奢岭组是该区主要的油气富集层,目前研究结果认为奢岭组储集层是由两个方向的扇三角洲混合沉积形成,但由于资料有限,应用常规方法无法清楚地认识两个不同方向的物源混合沉积的扇三角洲的内幕特征以及这两个物源如何动态地控制着砂体的分布,影响了对该区油气储集层的深入认识.应用地震和地质资料,在波阻抗反演结果二次解释的基础,解析了这两个混合物源扇三角洲的内幕特征和演化特征,得出3个结论:(1)伊通盆地梁家地区奢岭组至少有4期扇三角洲沉积,每期扇三角洲的沉积范围由下向上逐渐扩大,反映了基准面逐渐下降的过程;(2)奢岭组的4期扇三角洲是由两个物源混合沉积形成,这4期扇三角洲逐渐由受从二号断层来的物源控制为主,变为由受从北东方向来的物源控制为主;(3)基于波阻抗体进行的砂层组解释和分析,能够清楚地分析扇三角洲沉积体的内幕结构,是应用波阻抗进行高分辨率地震分析和应用的一种新的分析方法.
