Gravity constraints on the dynamics of the crust–mantle system during Calabrian subduction

The thermomechanic evolution of the lithosphere–upper mantle system during Calabrian subduction is analysed using a 2-D finite element approach, in which the lithosphere is compositionally stratified into crust and mantle. Gravity and topography predictions are cross-checked with observed gravity and topography patterns of the Calabrian region. Modelling results indicate that the gravity pattern in the arc-trench region is shaped by the sinking of light material, belonging to both the overriding and subduction plates. The sinking of light crustal material, up to depths of the order of 100–150 km is the ultimate responsible for the peculiar gravity signature of subduction, characterized by a minimum of gravity anomaly located at the trench, bounded by two highs located on the overriding and subducting plates, with a variation in magnitude of the order of 200 mGal along a wavelength of 200 km, in agreement with the isostatically compensated component of gravity anomaly observed along a transect crossing the Calabrian Arc, from the Tyrrhenian to the Ionian Seas. The striking agreement between the geodetic retrieved profiles and the modelled ones in the trench region confirms the crucial role of compositional stratification of the lithosphere in the subduction process and the correctness of the kinematic hypotheses considered in our modelling, that the present-day configuration of crust–mantle system below the Calabrian arc results from trench's retreat at a rate of about 3 cm yr⁻¹, followed by gravitational sinking of the subducted slab in the last 5 Myr.     

基于重心模型的环境污染和治理投资偏离分析

利用重心的概念和模型,采用2000-2009年各省工业废水、工业废气和工业固体废弃物的排放量和污染治理投资额等数据,计算出各自的重心和重心演变路径．从移动方向、移动距离和相互关系3个方面分析环境污染重心和治理投资重心各自的动态变化和空间演变轨迹,结果显示：2000-2009年,工业废水、废气和固体废弃物污染重心从移动方向来看总体向西部偏移,而且移动距离有快速西移的趋势,表明当前西部地区在环境污染方面有加重的趋势．另外,环境污染重心和投资治理重心之间存在偏离,例如,工业废水排放重心偏北,而工业废水治理投资重心偏南,并且与工业废水重心相比,工业废气和工业固体废弃物排放重心和治理投资重心偏离度要小．     

我国产业经济重心演变路径及其影响因素分析

针对重心的研究现状及存在的问题,在对比分析我国产业重心与经济重心、投资重心、人口重心演化路径的基础上提出假设,构造模型并进行计量分析,得出如下结论：产业重心移动不仅受产业产值大小及方差的显著影响,而且受经济、投资以及人口变量的总量大小及方差的显著影响,而增长速度对产业重心移动的影响不显著。     

Yucatán karst features and the size of Chicxulub crater

The buried Chicxulub impact structure is marked by a dramatic ring of sinkholes (called cenotes if containing water), and adjacent less prominent partial rings, which have been shown to coincide with maxima in horizontal gravity gradients and a topographic depression. These observations, along with the discreteness and spacing of the features, suggest a formation mechanism involving faulting in the outer slump zone of the crater, which would thus have a diameter of approximately 180 km.
An opposing view, based primarily on the interpretation of gravity data, is that (he crater is much larger than the cenote ring implies. Given the association of the known cenote ring with faults, we here examine northern Yucatan for similar rings in gravity, surface features and elevation, which we might expect to be associated with outer concentric faults in the case of a larger, possibly multiring, structure.
No such outer rings have been found, although definite patterns are seen in the distribution of karst features outside the crater rim. We explain these patterns as resulting mainly from deformation related to the block fault zone that parallels tbe shelf edge of eastern Yucatan.     

云南鲁甸M_S6.5地震震区地壳密度结构特征

基于云南鲁甸MS6.5地震震区的3条"工"字形剖面的重力与GPS观测数据,获得了沿剖面的布格重力异常、剩余密度相关成像和地壳密度分层结构。研究表明,会理—鲁甸—昭通、攀枝花—蒙姑—大井、舍块—汤丹—会泽剖面布格重力变化范围分别为-278~-197×10-5ms-2、-273~-200×10-5ms-2、-280~-254×10-5ms-2,均呈"鞍"形分布,其局部低值均位于小江断裂带附近,且幅度差自北向南逐渐减小。小江断裂带内物质密度低于两侧,低密度体扩展至中下地壳,且其东侧物质密度低于西侧,密度异常体呈正负交迭,地壳稳定性低,鲁甸震区处于该区域内。地壳分层结构显示莫霍面以小江断裂带为中心向上抬升,莫霍面最大深度自北向南从50km抬升至41km,反映了小江断裂带在区域地质构造中的地位——川滇块体与华南块体的分界线。     

南极中山站固体潮观测分析

中国南极中山站位于南极拉斯曼丘陵地区（λ＝７６°２２′Ｅ，φ＝６９°２２′Ｓ），１９９１年３月至１９９３年２月，用ＬａｃｏｓｔｅＥＴ型重力仪，在这个地区进行了为期近两年的观测，取得了６００多天的有效资料，经调和分析和流变模型、海潮负荷改正后得到：δｏ１＝１．２２５３±０．００３１，Δφｏ１＝０．７３°±０．１４°；δｍ２＝１．０７８５±０．００４５，Δφｍ２＝－３．５５°±０．２９°从资料分析的精度来看，观测资料是比较好的；但由于海潮负荷改正缺少附近海域的资料，会对最终结果造成较大的影响
