Age model, physical properties and paleoceanographic implications of the middle Pleistocene core sediments in the Choshi area, central Japan

Abstract   A continuous, well-preserved core was obtained from the Choshi area, on the Pacific side of Japan, to investigate paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic changes around the northwestern Pacific region during the middle Pleistocene. Siliciclastic sequences in the core are divided into five formations – the Obama, Yokone, Kurahashi and Toyosato Formations in the Inubo Group and the Katori Formation, in ascending order. Examination of calcareous nannofossils and magnetic polarities detected four datums in the core sediments of the Inubo Group: the top of Reticulofenestra asanoi , the base of Helicosphaera inversa , the top of Pseudoemiliania lacunosa and the Brunhes–Matuyama boundary. Fourteen marine isotope stages (MIS24–MIS11) were identified in the δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C records based on detected datums and the graphic correlation with the standard stack oxygen isotope curve. Magnetic susceptibility and gamma-ray attenuation porosity evaluator density were also measured and low values characterize the glacial intervals. Biogenic sedimentation by primary production may be larger during the glacial periods because of invasions of nutrient-rich northern surface-waters related to the southward shift of the Kuroshio front in the Choshi area.     

内蒙古赤峰地区早二叠世花岗岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及地球化学特征

以赤峰地区铭山复式岩体、尖山子岩体为研究对象,通过锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学研究,确定了其形成时代,探讨了岩石成因和岩浆源区性质及其形成的构造背景。LA-ICP-MS锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U测年结果表明,铭山复式岩体中灰白色斑状黑云二长花岗岩、尖山子岩体中浅肉红色细粒正长花岗岩分别形成于284.4±7.9Ma、294.7±8.5Ma,为早二叠世。根据地质体间接触关系可知,铭山复式岩体中的二长花岗岩岩体和尖山子岩体均为复式岩体,有待进一步解体。斑状黑云二长花岗岩SiO_2含量较高,K_2O+Na_2O含量较高,A/CNK1,属于高钾钙碱性I型花岗岩。细粒正长花岗岩Al_2O_3含量为14.32%~15.14%,Na_2O/K_2O=0.71~0.99,A/CNK=1.17~1.20,在标准矿物中出现刚玉分子。二者微量元素特征相似,富集大离子亲石元素,亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta,具Sr、P、Ti的负异常,表现出岛弧岩浆岩类特征。结合岩石地球化学、区域地质特征,认为赤峰地区早二叠世岩体形成于岛弧/活动大陆边缘构造背景,其形成与古亚洲洋向南俯冲有关。     

江南造山带东段旌德岩体锆石LA-ICPMS年龄和Nd-Sr-Hf同位素地球化学

提要：旌德花岗质杂岩体位于安徽南部,由花岗闪长岩和二长花岗岩组成。本研究得到岩体中锆石U-Pb年龄为(141.0±1.0) Ma,认为该年龄代表岩体的侵位年龄。岩体全岩主量元素特征显示出中偏酸性 (SiO2＝66.01%~70.87%),富Al (Al2O3＝14.91%~16.24%),富碱 (alk = 6.64%~8.01%),K2O/Na2O变化范围在0.78~1.04,镁、铁含量较低,MgO：0.68%~1.06%,TFe2O3 (2.0%~3.34%),以及低磷 (P2O5 =0.10%~0.14%)的特点;微量元素主要富集Sr (189×10-6~452×10-6),贫Nb、Ta、P、Ti、Y、Yb,高Sr/Y比值 (23~66)和 (La/Yb)N (13~58),Eu有轻微的负异常到弱的正异常 (δEu＝0.81~1.18)。旌德岩体的地球化学特征与中国东部中生代埃达克质岩相似。ISr＝0.7096~0.7101, εNd(t)＝-6.28~-7.32,εHf(t)值变化于-6.5~-1.1,两阶段模式年龄 tDM2=1.4~1.5 Ga。较年轻的Nd同位素模式年龄、较高的εNd(t)值和εHf(t)值,以及岩体中发育有岩浆混合成因的暗色包体,指示源区可能有地幔物质的贡献。幔源岩浆底侵使下地壳发生部分熔融,并发生了岩浆混合作用,形成了旌德岩体。

Metamorphic and cooling history of the Shimanto accretionary complex,Kyushu, Southwest Japan: Implications for the timing of out‐of‐sequence thrusting

Illite crystallinity, K–Ar dating of illite, and fission‐track dating of zircon are analyzed in the hanging wall (Sampodake unit) and footwall (Mikado unit) of a seismogenic out‐of‐sequence thrust (Nobeoka thrust) within the Shimanto accretionary complex of central Kyushu, southwest Japan. The obtained metamorphic temperatures, and timing of metamorphism and cooling, reveal the tectono‐metamorphic evolution of the complex, and related development of the Nobeoka thrust. Illite crystallinity data indicate that the Late Cretaceous Sampodake unit was metamorphosed at temperatures of around 300 to 310°C, while the Middle Eocene Mikado unit was metamorphosed at 260 to 300°C. Illite K–Ar ages and zircon fission‐track ages constrain the timing of metamorphism of the Sampodake unit to the early Middle Eocene (46 to 50 Ma, mean = 48 Ma). Metamorphism of the Mikado unit occurred no earlier than 40 Ma, which is the youngest depositional age of the unit. The Nobeoka thrust is inferred to have been active during about 40 to 48 Ma, as the Sampodake unit started its post metamorphic cooling after 48 Ma and was thrust over the Mikado unit at about 40 Ma along the Nobeoka thrust. These results indicate that the Nobeoka thrust was active for more than 10 million years.

针对延长组地层划分的争议,开展了延长组孢粉组合、岩石学特征、湖盆演化规律等对比分析,结果显示长8－长10地层与长1－长7地层差异显著。其中,长8－长10油层组沉积期,地势平坦,河流、三角洲和滨浅湖沉积发育,岩石成分成熟度低,孢粉组合中蕨类植物孢子占优势,中三叠世的重要分子Punctatisporites、Verrucosisporites含量较高;长7油层组沉积期深湖范围宽广,盆地西南、西部地区长7砂岩中石英含量明显提高,岩石类型发生较大的改变,西缘和西南缘沉积体系也由辫状河、辫状河－三角洲体系演化成冲积扇、扇三角洲沉积体系,该段地层孢子花粉含量相近,以具有晚三叠世色彩的Duplexisporites大量出现为特征。此外,在盆地西部、西南及湖盆中部地区,长7底部稳定分布的一套凝灰岩薄层,记录了同期的火山、岩浆活动等地质事件,为早印支运动的重要表现形式,因此长7与长8之间地层界线为中三叠统与上三叠统界线。     

Seasonal climate patterns and their influence on calibration of the Hargreaves-Samani equation

Abstract

Annual patterns in climate parameters were studied to evaluate how these influence the quality of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) estimates obtained from the Hargreaves-Samani (HS) equation, since the method only uses the measured temperature directly. The work evaluates how these patterns can be used to improve the HS ETo estimates. Ten-year moving averages from a set of California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS) stations were used to evaluate the relationships between solar radiation (R_s), temperature (T) and ETo. The results indicate that T treads behind solar radiation and its value peaks some 25 days later. Thus, the main irrigation season in the Mediterranean climate (1 May–30 September) can be divided into three phases: increasing R_s and T; decreasing R_s with increasing T; and decreasing R_s and T. Non-univocal annual cycles were observed between R_s and T, ETo and R_s, and ETo and T. These annual patterns result in important seasonal changes in the ratio between the HS and Penman-Monteith (FAO PM) ETo estimates. The changes are particularly important during the irrigation season, where the FAO PM initially calculates greater ETo values than the HS methodology, and from the end of May to early September, where the HS equation overestimates the ETo values (by 17 mm, or 3%). These patterns obtained from 2000–2009 data were used to calibrate and improve HS ETo estimates at new sites for the 2010–2011 period. Calibration based on the proposed seasonal region-wide FAO PM/HS ETo ratios improved both the bias (decreased from 0.40 to 0.36 mm d^-1) and r² (increased from 0.67 to 0.87) of the ETo estimates for the irrigation season. The proposed methodology can be easily applied to other regions, even when the existing weather stations are sparse.

地磁场强度变化对暴露年代测定的影响及校正

在103-105a的尺度上,地磁场强度变化是影响陆地宇生核素生成速率的主要因素,其影响程度取决于样品的地理位置和暴露时间。根据已有的磁场古强度数据,模拟200 ka以来海拔2 km、25°N和40°N的地表10Be生成速率的变化,进而分析地表宇生核素生成速率变化对岩石暴露年代测定的影响及其模式年龄的校正。校正磁场强度变化后,海拔2 km、25°N上,50-200 ka的模式年龄可被压缩14%~19%,大于1σ的误差,相同海拔40°N上的模式年龄可减小约8%。对中低纬两组模式年龄的校正充分证明,磁场强度引起的陆地宇生核素生成速率变化是暴露年代测定中主要误差源之一,尤其在低纬高海拔地区这一影响更不容忽视。
