 根据科尔沁沙地东部TL剖面磁化率、有机质、化学元素等气候代用指标的变化特征和14C测年结果,分析和讨论了科尔沁沙地6 ka BP以来的气候变化过程。实验数据显示,高频磁化率、低频磁化率、有机质、Al2O3含量变化趋势基本一致,且峰值段对应古土壤层,谷值段对应风成砂层。依据气候代用指标的变化将6 ka BP以来科尔沁沙地气候变化分为3个阶段：Ⅰ.6.0～4.2 ka BP,气候暖湿,夏季风逐渐增强,并占主导,冬季风较弱,与全新世大暖期对应,但存在百年尺度的气候波动,其中：6.0～5.6 ka BP,5.6～5.4 ka BP,4.9～4.2 ka BP气候暖湿;5.6～5.5 ka BP,5.4～4.9 ka BP气候相对冷干。Ⅱ.4.2～1.3 ka BP,气候相对暖湿,与上一阶段相比夏季风有所减弱,但仍强于冬季风,其间也存在次一级波动,3.7～3.6 ka BP,3.4～1.3 ka BP,气候相对暖湿,4.2～3.7 ka BP,3.6～3.4 ka BP气候相对干冷。Ⅲ.1.3～0.65 ka BP以来,气候波动频繁,后期有向暖湿发展的趋势。总体而言,区域气候变化与全球具有较好的一致性。

Landslide susceptibility mapping using geological data, a DEM from ASTER images and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

An efficient and accurate method of generating landslide susceptibility maps is very important to mitigate the loss of properties and lives caused by this type of geological hazard. This study focuses on the development of an accurate and efficient method of data integration, processing and generation of a landslide susceptibility map using an ANN and data from ASTER images. The method contains two major phases. The first phase is the data integration and analysis, and the second is the Artificial Neural Network training and mapping. The data integration and analysis phase involve GIS based statistical analysis relating landslide occurrence to geological and DEM (digital elevation model) derived geomorphological parameters. The parameters include slope, aspect, elevation, geology, density of geological boundaries and distance to the boundaries. This phase determines the geological and geomorphological factors that are significantly correlated with landslide occurrence. The second phase further relates the landslide susceptibility index to the important geological and geomorphological parameters identified in the first phase through ANN training. The trained ANN is then used to generate a landslide susceptibility map. Landslide data from the 2004 Niigata earthquake and a DEM derived from ASTER images were used. The area provided enough landslide data to check the efficiency and accuracy of the developed method. Based on the initial results of the experiment, the developed method is more than 90% accurate in determining the probability of landslide occurrence in a particular area.

昆明市城区旱季尘土磁化率特征及环境意义

分析了昆明市区旱季道路尘土样品磁化率特征。结果表明,样品的Xlf的变化范围为96×10-8~9×10-8m3/kg,平均值为46.5×10-8m3/kg,Xfd值变幅为0.3﹪~13.8﹪,平均为2.0﹪;磁化率数值由市中心区向郊区呈下降趋势,且城市不同功能区的磁化率值也存在明显差异,表明影响昆明市街道尘土磁化率因素的多元性,工业活动可能不是昆明市城区道路尘土磁性矿物颗粒最主要来源,而主要是来自市区日常生产与生活活动,特别是昆明市众多机动车辆产生的磁性颗粒物;道路尘土中磁性矿物含量较高,以人为源为主,重金属污染较重。     

Mesozoic extension in the Basque–Cantabrian basin (N Spain): Contributions from AMS and brittle mesostructures

In this work we analyse and check the results of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) by means of a comparison with palaeostress orientations obtained from the analysis of brittle mesostructures in the Cabuérniga Cretaceous basin, located in the western end of the Basque–Cantabrian basin, North Spain. The AMS data refer to 23 sites including Triassic red beds, Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous limestones, sandstones and shales. These deposits are weakly deformed, and represent the syn-rift sequence linked to basins formed during the Mesozoic and later inverted during the Pyrenean compression. The observed magnetic fabrics are typical of early stages of deformation, and show oblate, triaxial and prolate magnetic ellipsoids. The magnetic fabric seems to be related to a tectonic overprint of an original, compaction, sedimentary fabric. Most sites display a NE–SW magnetic lineation that is interpreted to represent the stretching direction of the Early Cretaceous extensional stage of the basin, without recording of the Tertiary compressional events, except for sites with compression-related cleavage.Brittle mesostructures include normal faults, calcite and quartz tension gashes and joints, related to the extensional stage. The results obtained from joints and tension gashes show a dominant N–S to NE–SW, and secondary NW–SE, extension direction. Paleostresses obtained from fault analysis (Right Dihedra and stress inversion methods) indicate NW–SE to E–W, and N–S extension direction. The results obtained from brittle mesostructures show a complex pattern resulting from the superposition of several tectonic processes during the Mesozoic, linked to the tectonic activity related to the opening of the Bay of Biscay during the Early Cretaceous. This work shows the potential in using AMS analysis in inverted basins to unravel its previous extensional history when the magnetic fabric is not expected to be modified by subsequent deformational events. Brittle mesostructure analysis seems to be more sensitive to far-field stress conditions and record longer time spans, whereas AMS records deformation on the near distance, during shorter intervals of time.     

Structural and fabric analyses of basal slip zone of the Jin’nosuke-dani landslide, northern central Japan: its application to the slip mechanism of decollement

We describe in detail the deformation structures and textures of a large-scale landslide body that developed in the Betto-dani Valley in northern central Japan. We studied the shape-preferred orientation of clasts and clay flakes and the development of internal shear planes within the slip zone of the landslide. The slip has an average rate of 5–10 cm/year under the overburden pressure of approximately 1.6 MPa; these values are similar to those of the proto-decollement zone of the Nankai accretionary prism in SW Japan. The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of samples obtained from the slip zone reveals that the long axes of clay flakes define an imbricate structure. The slip was due to a long-term periodical creep, which occurs during the thaw seasons with an average slip rate of 0.16–0.32 μm/min. During the creep, the long axes of grains including clay flakes in the slip zone are developed from parallel to perpendicular to the slip direction. The observed textures provide a clue to elucidate the deformation textures and process in the decollement zone of the Nankai prism.     

Devensian Late-glacial and early Flandrian environmental history of the Vale of Pickering,Yorkshire, England

Pollen, sedimentological and charcoal particle analyses are presented from Devensian Late-glacial and early- to mid-Flandrian deposits from a former lake in the Vale of Pickering, Yorkshire. The combined analytical methods provide evidence for a short-lived climatic deterioration towards the end of the Late-glacial Interstadial, followed by a brief recovery prior to the Loch Lomond Stadial. This deterioration may be correlated with one of the ‘pre-Younger Dryas’ cooling periods identified not only in other pollen sequences from Britain and Europe, but from such diverse sources as Foraminifera from the Norwegian Sea and electrical conductivity measurements from the Greenland ice sheet. Loss-on-ignition and magnetic susceptibility data suggest that the Loch Lomond Stadial was characterised by an initial prolonged temperature decline, followed by a sudden more severe downturn resulting in particularly intense solifluction. Radiocarbon accelerator dating of the early Flandrian marl deposits illustrates the problem of age determination in calcareous lakes, and an estimate of the magnitude of ‘hard water error’ is obtained. The local population expansion of Alnus glutinosa is dated to 7640 ± 85 yr BP, but there is possible evidence for a Late-glacial presence of the tree, the significance of which is discussed in relation to other sites in east Yorkshire. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

南京下蜀土的岩石磁学特征

对南京附近的下蜀土进行了岩石磁学测定,通过磁化率各向异性测量研究了它的沉积磁性组构特征,下蜀土的各异向性很不明显,各向异性废Ｐ小于水成岩的Ｐ值（＞１．０２）,且与困面理度Ｆ高度相关,与磁线理度Ｌ相关不明显,这种特征与中国中部风成黄土极相似。对新生圩剖面进行的磁化率测量发现用化率曲线上有７个旋回的波峰、波谷变化,这与剖面中的古土壤－黄土系列相一致,说明下蜀土的剖面磁化率同样可以作为地层划分与对比,反映古气候冷暧变化的物理参数。对典型下蜀土样品进行的低温磁化率测量揭示出古土壤和黄土的成颗粒的构成不同,古土壤以超顺磁质为主,黄土以顺磁质为主。细小磁颗粒在古土壤中的积聚可能与古土壤的发育及古气候的暧湿程度有关。
