黑龙江伊春大安河金矿床区辉长岩的锆石U——Pb 年龄及其地质意义

黑龙江伊春大安河金矿床与成矿密切相关的辉长岩系统年代学的研究结果及锆石的CL 图像和 Th /U 比值特征表明,辉长岩中锆石U--Pb 测年结果可划分为4 组,其年龄值分别为: 811 ～ 812 Ma、 480 ～ 502 Ma、259 Ma 和210 ～ 175 Ma。其中210 ～ 182 Ma ( 均值203. 4 ± 2. 5 Ma) 代表辉长岩的形成时代,岩浆从源区到就位结晶过程大致经历28 Ma; 其他3 组为捕获的碎屑锆石,揭示该区晚元古代、中寒武世、晚二叠世曾发生过强烈的地壳增生作用; 从岩浆演化与矽卡岩化作用角度分析,成矿作用发生在岩体就位过程或早侏罗世中期( 均值189 ± 3 Ma) 的伸展阶段。     

西秦岭中—新生代红层的构造层划分及其构造意义

西秦岭及其邻区中—新生代红层地层包括白垩系、古近系和新近系。这些红层地层的沉积组合、构造变形、空间分布及相互关系等是西秦岭中—新生代陆内地质过程的客观记录,对其系统研究是重建西秦岭及其邻区中—新生代构造演化过程之基础。依据这些红层地层之间的角度不整合、沉积序列与沉积环境、空间分布型式和构造线方向及构造样式,西秦岭及邻区中—新生代红层地层可分为早白垩世、晚白垩世、古近纪—新近纪三个构造层。三个构造层对应于西秦岭中—新生代陆内构造演化的三个不同阶段,即早白垩世北东向盆—山构造、晚白垩世区域左旋走滑拉分构造和渐新世—上新世区域伸展泛盆地阶段。结合印支期多块体拼贴形成的中国大陆中—新生代陆内构造格局与岩石圈动力学过程分析,认为西秦岭早白垩世北东向盆山构造格局是中生代以来西太平洋板块向西俯冲导致的东亚区域性伸展构造的组成部分;晚白垩世走滑拉分盆地则是白垩纪拉萨地块与羌塘—昌都地块汇聚碰撞背景下中国西北大陆区域性左旋走滑作用的结果;而渐新世—上新世的泛盆地阶段则指示了印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞的远程构造—地貌响应之前经历了漫长区域伸展均衡坳陷和侵蚀夷平期,这说明上新世,西秦岭尚未成为现今青藏高原的组成部分,也就是说新生代以来印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞汇聚的构造响应起始于上新世末期。     

郯庐断裂带南段张八岭群变质岩的原岩时代及其构造意义

大别造山带东缘郯庐断裂带上分布着绿片岩相变质的张八岭群。对于它们的原岩时代长期没有同位素年代学数据,而其变形与变质原因也一直没有明确的认识。本次工作中选择了该带上8处张八岭群变火山岩进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年。结果表明,它们的原岩时代为748~750 Ma,属于新元古代中期的南华纪,为扬子板块下部盖层而非前人认为的变质基底。结合张八岭群的变形与变质特征及前人白云母40Ar/39Ar定年结果,并与大别造山带进行对比,本文认为大别造山带东南缘张八岭群的变形与变质是造山带内俯冲与折返的结果,而其东缘郯庐断裂带内张八岭群的变形与变质是碰撞造山期该断裂带左行走滑活动所致。这些认识再次为郯庐断裂带起源于华北与扬子板块的碰撞过程中提供了重要的证据,也支持其造山期起源于陆内转换断层或斜向汇聚边界。     

Differentiating (historic) responsibilities for climate change

Following the conclusion of the official work of the Ad Hoc Group for the Modelling and Assessment of Contributions to Climate Change (MATCH), this article considers the politically more sensitive aspect of the Brazilian proposal, namely the issue of differentiating (historic) responsibility for, and not merely (causal) contribution to climate change. Its aim is (1) to highlight the fact that, while related, the two issues (‘contribution to’ and ‘responsibility for’) are fundamentally different and should not be confused, and (2) to propose a methodology for calculating shares of responsibility as opposed to the shares in causal contribution arrived at through the MATCH results. Two conceptions of responsibility (‘strict’ or ‘limited’) are applied in order to operationalize the notion of ‘respective capabilities’ given in Article 3.1 of the UNFCCC. The key message resulting from the calculations is that causal contribution—while an important indicator of (environmental) relevance to the problem—must not be confused with the moral responsibility for it. The rather large difference between the responsibilities at the two extremes of the scale under both conceptions gives pause for thought as to what sorts of burdens can justly be demanded in any application of the UNFCCC principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, whether in the context of the Brazilian proposal or beyond.
