Modeled seasonality of glacial abrupt climate events

Greenland ice cores, as well as many other paleo-archives from the northern hemisphere, recorded a series of 25 warm interstadial events, the so-called Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) events, during the last glacial period. We use the three-dimensional coupled global ocean–atmosphere–sea ice model ECBILT-CLIO and force it with freshwater input into the North Atlantic to simulate abrupt glacial climate events, which we use as analogues for D-O events. We focus our analysis on the Northern Hemisphere. The simulated events show large differences in the regional and seasonal distribution of the temperature and precipitation changes. While the temperature changes in high northern latitudes and in the North Atlantic region are dominated by winter changes, the largest temperature increases in most other land regions are seen in spring. Smallest changes over land are found during the summer months. Our model simulations also demonstrate that the temperature and precipitation change patterns for different intensifications of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation are not linear. The extent of the transitions varies, and local non-linearities influence the amplitude of the annual mean response as well as the response in different seasons. Implications for the interpretation of paleo-records are discussed.     

An overview on the seismic zonation and microzonation studies in India

The present study presents a review on the progressive development of the seismic zonation map of India both from official agencies and also from independent individual studies. The zonation map have been modified and updated regularly with the occurrence of major destructive earthquakes over the years in the Indian subcontinent with the addition of new data. This study discusses the criteria chosen for the progressive zonation and the major earthquakes that were responsible for retrospection of the earlier published maps. The seismic zonation maps of India have also been prepared by various independent workers by adopting different approaches to achieve the purpose of the zonation. Despite the endeavors from various sources to provide a solution for the problem of earthquake hazards in India, there were many limitations on the zonation map as it gives the picture at a regional scale mostly on the bedrock level without addressing the local site conditions. But nevertheless, the seismic zonation map gives basic guidelines for any region to know the hazard scenario and if any city or urban population is under threat from seismic point of view, further site specific seismic microzonation may be carried out. In the International scenario, the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) in 1999 prepared a hazard map for world in terms of peak ground acceleration (PGA) with a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years, but it turned out to be an underestimation of the hazard parameter when compared with the observed PGA. To tackle the problem of seismic hazards, there was a need to have a detail study on the local site conditions in terms of its geological, geophysical and geotechnical properties. With the advent of better instrumentation and knowledge on the mechanics of earthquakes, it was possible to identify zones of hazards at a local level and this gives rise to the study of seismic microzonation. Seismic microzonation work has been carried out in India in some of the strategic important mega cities and industrial build up that has the potential of being damaged from future earthquakes, as has been shown in the past. Though the microzonation map is not the final output map, as it can still be updated at later stage with more input data, it does provide a more realistic picture on the site specific seismic hazard.

The ecological-geological system,its types and position in the structure of an ecosystem

An ecologic-geological system presents a certain volume of the lithosphere with biota, including humans and the social media functioning in it and on its surface. This system is considered as the study subject of ecological geology. In all, four types of ecological-geological systems have been distinguished and characterized: a natural real system, natural ideal system, natural-technical ideal system, and natural-technical real system. The position of an ecological-geological system in the structure of an ecosystem is shown.

青海玉树东莫扎抓铅锌矿床地质特征及碳氢氧同位素地球化学研究

东莫扎抓铅锌矿床位于青藏高原羌塘地体东北缘,是"三江"北段铅锌铜银多金属成矿带中的典型代表,对该矿床地质特征和成因类型的研究有助于理解区域铅锌铜银多金属成矿规律,对区域找矿具有重要意义.笔者通过详细的矿区地质考察、系统的矿石光薄片显微镜下鉴定和矿石中方解石的碳、氢、氧同位素分析测试,概述了东莫扎抓铅锌矿床的地质特征和成矿流体的碳、氢、氧同位素组成特征.东莫扎抓铅锌矿床矿体呈似层状展布,产状严格受到矿区逆冲断层的控制,赋矿围岩为上三叠统结扎群波里拉组灰岩和下一中二叠统开心岭群尕迪考组灰岩,发育强白云石化和弱硅化,矿物组合简单,主要为闪锌矿+方铅矿+黄铁矿+白云石+方解石+重晶石,矿石结构以皮壳状、草莓状等胶状结构和他形粒状结构为主,矿石构造为浸染状、角砾状、团块状和脉状.矿石中方解石的δ~(13)C_(V-PDB)值、δ~(18)O_(V-SMOW)值分别为δD_(V-SMOW)值分别为-1.8‰～+3.3‰、+6.1‰～+24.6‰和-137‰～-53‰,计算得到成矿流体的δ~(18)O_(流体)值为-0.5‰～+13.8‰.研究结果表明,东莫扎抓铅锌矿床的成矿流体主要来自盆地封存热卤水和大气降水,金属物质可能由区域流体在长距离迁移过程中通过与碳酸盐岩地层相互作用,以及淋滤含矿地层底部的火山岩而得来,成矿过程中伴随着碳酸盐岩的溶解作用,可能存在有机质的参与.据此,笔者将东莫扎抓矿床归为发育在碰撞造山带中受逆冲推覆断裂构造控制的类MVT铅锌矿床,并初步建立了东莫扎抓铅锌矿床的构造控矿模型.
