论天山古洋盆关闭的地质时限——来自伊宁地块石炭系的新证据

天山古洋盆关闭的地质时限倍受地质界关注,久有泥盆纪晚期或石炭纪初期,石炭纪晚期以及二叠纪期间3种分歧。由残余盆地恢复原型盆地,是造山带古洋盆恢复的基础,钙碱系列火成岩可作为古洋盆恢复的重要证据。伊宁地块石炭纪的残余盆地沉积记录、火山岩建造、侵入岩特征、化石组合及古生物地理区系分布特征、地层接触关系及构造变形特征等新成果证实,以区内阿克沙克组与伊什基里克组间广泛而明显的区域性角度不整合面(鄯善运动)为界,下石炭统钙碱性系列火山岩-沉积地层组合发育复杂的不协调褶曲,尖棱褶皱,强烈的揉皱和区域性韧性断层,产出于南方型热带-亚热带古生物地理区系,为区域性挤压构造体制下的岛弧-弧后盆地建造,是塔里木板块的主要组成部分,而上石炭统碱性系列双峰式火山岩及沉积地层组合则是典型的北方型温带古生物地理区的大陆裂谷火山-沉积建造,构造变形极弱,形成于区域性伸展构造环境,是准噶尔板块与塔里木板块缝合后的陆内建造。基于这些新的资料和分析,天山古洋盆的关闭时限是早石炭世晚期。     

粤东北丘陵区末次间冰期红土的特征与气候环境

地处华南之粤东北丘陵区的蕉岭红土属粉砂质粘土,形成于末次间冰期。红土的细粘粒含量为12.15%～24.64%(平均值18.46%)、Mz为5.91Φ～7.53Φ(6.72Φ)、概率累积曲线和频率曲线分别呈现以"四段式"和"三峰式"构型;主元素氧化物以SiO2、Al2O3、TFe2O3为主,含量依次为50.10%～53.14%(51.36%)、23.07%～24.44%(24.00%)、10.18%～11.40%(10.77%),其它如CaO、Na2O、MgO、K2O的含量均小于1%。这一趋向于细粉砂分布的粒度特征和脱硅富铝化的化学元素特征说明红土形成于较强的风化—淋溶作用下,硅铝系数(3.49～3.86,平均为3.64)指示多数层位属次强度富铝化。其气候环境,以2μm和1μm颗粒的含量、硅铝系数、CIA值为指标,与我国的南亚热带—北热带一些地点的现代赤红土和砖红土作一详细对比后认为蕉岭红土发育在湿热于现今南亚热带,相似于热带北缘的气候环境之下。这一看法与前人有关同期"大熊猫—剑齿象动物群"指示的古生态的研究结果相吻合。由此表明,末次间冰期的粤东北甚至整个华南地区可能都处在类似现今热带北缘的气候环境之下,其时的热带—亚热带界线向北推移了至少3个纬度。     

滇中红层浅层地下水的特征和农村供水示范工程的建立

为了缓解滇中红层区村镇居民生活用水的困难,中国地质调查局在该区实施了地下水勘查与供水示范项目。依据项目的勘查数据、供水示范工程并结合前人已有的成果,重点探讨了示范区不同类型地下水的分布、赋存特点和多种类型钻井取水、多种供水模式供水的地下水开发利用方式。     

大别山低级变质岩的构造背景

大别山南北两侧的浅变质岩是碰撞造山以前洋壳俯冲造山阶段的重要组成部分。木兰山片岩或张八岭群是俯冲的洋壳;苏家河群、信阳群和佛子岭群是由洋壳俯冲形成的海沟沉积,并因俯冲过程中的前进变形而形成增生楔;杨山煤系和梅山群是石炭纪弧前盆地沉积,并因俯冲过程中的前进变形而被增生楔逆掩。宿松群是扬子大陆被动边缘沉积,不是俯冲造山带的成员。因洋壳俯冲形成的弧和弧后盆地可能已被新生界沉积物掩盖。高压-超高压变质带是碰撞造山后期从深部折返的外来体。高压-超高压变质带正好处于洋壳和增生楔之间,破坏了早期洋壳俯冲造山带的完整性,使得洋壳俯冲造山阶段的特征被破坏,因而不易辨别。俯冲造山阶段应为奥陶纪到泥盆纪,碰撞造山阶段应从二叠纪开始。     

Red Clay Sediment in the Central Chinese Loess Plateau and Its Implication for the Uplift of the Tibetan Plateau

Introduction A set of reddish clay-silt-sized sediments named red clay underlying the Quaternary loess-paleosol sequence widely distribute in the Chinese Loess Plateau. The thickness of the red clay sediments ranges from decades of meters to over 100 m (Evan et al.1991,Mo and Derbyshire 1991, SUN et al. 1997&1998, DING et al. 1999, GUO et al. 2001, QIANG et al. 2001). Previous studies show that not only loess-paleosol (e.g.LIU et al.1985,AN et al.1990,DING et al.1992),but also red …     

Vilnius Photometry of Red Giant Stars in the Open Cluster NGC 7789

Photoelectric Vilnius seven-color photometry is presented and analyzed for a sample of 24 red giant branch and clump stars in the open cluster NGC 7789. For each star we have determined photometric spectral type, absolute magnitude, interstellar reddening, effective temperature, metallicity, and surface gravity. From averages over the stars in the sample we find the mean reddening to the cluster E _Y−V = 0.21± 0.02 (s.d.), or E _B−V = 0.25, and the apparent distance modulus (m−M) _V = 12.21± 0.10 (s.d.), which yield a distance of 1840 pc. The mean overall metallicity is found to be [Fe/H] = −0.18± 0.09 (s.d.). The clump stars, on average, appear to be slightly more metal-rich than the other red giants, which is most probably caused by evolutionary changes of carbon and nitrogen molecular bands falling in the photometric passbands. A difference in mass between the two groups of stars has also been detected, which suggests that the clump stars might have undergone extra mass loss before reaching their core He-burning phase of evolution.     

An Approach to Improving the Retrieval Accuracy of Oceanic Constituents in Case Ⅱ Waters

In the present paper, a method is proposed to improve the performance of Artificial Neural Network(ANN)based algorithms for the retrieval of oceanic constituents in Case Ⅱ waters. The ANN-based algorithms have been developed based on a constraint condition, which represents, to a certain degree, the correlation between suspended particulate matter(SPM)and pigment(CHL), coloured dissolved organic matter(CDOM)and CHL, as well as CDOM and SPM, found in Case Ⅱ waters. Compared with the ANN-based algorithm developed without a constraint condition, the performance of ANN-based algorithms developed with a constraint conditions is much better for the retrieval of CHL and CDOM, especially in the case of high noise levels; however, there is not significant improvement for the retrieval of SPM.     

The Relation between Tectonic Movement and Climatic Change

1SeesawphenomenonofoceaniccrustSince 1996, Yoshino etal.(2002) have been us-ing the space geodetic techniques to observe crustal deformation at four sites in Tokyo metropolitan area. It is called Keystone project (KSP). At the end of June in 2000, volcanic and seismic events star-ted at Izu islands, south of Tokyo. Following the ev-ent, extraordinary crustal deformation was observed not only around the Izu islands, but also at the Key-stone network, where the closest site is over 100…     

“西藏红色长石”的围岩和表面残留物特征

＂西藏红色长石＂的真伪及是否经过扩散处理是国内外珠宝界最激烈争议的话题之一,对该长石材料的研究意义重要。采用传统的岩石学研究和现代岩矿测试相结合的方法,运用偏光显微镜,电子探针,X射线光能谱仪等测试手段对＂西藏红色长石＂的围岩和表面残留物的宝石学特征进行了研究。结果表明,＂西藏红色长石＂原生围岩是中基性侵入岩,围岩中含有玻璃和气孔,围岩和长石表面的残留物中含有大量的Cu,Fe元素;围岩和残留物经过了后期人为的高温烧结作用,部分暗色矿物和外来物质在烧结过程形成为玻璃,并产生大量的气泡;绝大部分＂西藏红色长石＂样品都经过了Cu扩散处理。
