北秦岭二郎坪群抱树坪组沉积时代与构造环境

二郎坪群抱树坪组作为北秦岭早古生代重要的沉积记录,其研究程度较低。本文通过对抱树坪组内火山岩夹层和花岗斑岩脉进行岩石学、地球化学和锆石U- Pb测年研究,旨在进一步确定其沉积时代与构造环境。研究结果表明：豫西夏馆地区抱树坪组火山岩夹层已变质为（黑云）阳起钠长片岩,常与黑云石英片岩呈“互层状”产出;岩石原岩为安山质凝灰岩,具有相对低的SiO2（52. 56%~62. 04%）、较高的Al2O3（10. 70%~18. 55%）、低的MgO（4. 06%~6. 21%）和FeOT/MgO（1. 23~1. 81）,富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素Rb、Th、U、K,相对亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti,具镁安山质岩石的特点;结合地球化学特征及前人研究认为,抱树坪组可能形成于活动陆缘弧后盆地。获得黑云阳起钠长片岩原岩的结晶锆石U- Pb年龄为446. 0±1. 7 Ma,以及侵入其中花岗斑岩脉的成岩年龄为430. 0±3. 0 Ma,首次将抱树坪组的形成时代准确地限定为晚奥陶世至早志留世。综合区域研究成果认为,小寨组和抱树坪组在地层层序和地层时代上符合广义二郎坪群的划分方案,但大庙组、火神庙组及由小寨组和抱树坪组构成的整体三者在形成时代上表现为近于同时性,在空间上主体呈现近平行关系,可能主体属时代大体相当的不同沉积环境的产物;在大地构造属性方面,认为二郎坪群是在约470 Ma之前由于商丹洋向北俯冲而形成的火山岛弧,在470~436 Ma转化为弧后盆地,至约430 Ma之前最终完成消减闭合。     

Circulation and fertility of waters in Concepcion Bay

The spatial and temporal distributions of oxygen, nutrients and pigments in the waters of Concepcion Bay, Chile (36°40′S, 73°01′W) are described for 1978–1979. Analysis of the seasonal fluctuations shows the upwelling of water poor in oxygen and rich in nutrients inside the bay during summer. The upwelled water fertilizes the bay and produces progressive eutrophication, causing mass mortalities, discoloured water and mineralization of organic matter.     

Nature and origin of ground ice,Sandhills Moraine,southwest Banks Island,Western Canadian Arctic

The Sandhills Moraine is a Late Wisconsinan lateral moraine complex on southwest Banks Island. The occurrence of ice-ablation landforms, ground ice slumps, kettle lakes and catastrophic lake drainage in winter suggests the presence of substantial bodies of massive ground ice. The distinctive hummocky topography of the Sandhills Moraine is thought to reflect partial melt-out of this ice. Stratigraphic observations indicate that the ice is overlain irregularly and unconformably by glacigenic sediments, notably pebbly clay (till) and/or sandy gravels (outwash), while the ice itself possesses numerous and variable mineral inclusions, faults and foliations. Petrofabric analyses indicate a strongly preferred orientation to the ice crystals. It is suggested that these characteristics are best explained if the ground ice is interpreted as relict glacier ice.     

Trace metal composition of and accumulation rates of sediments in the Upper Gulf of Thailand

Sediment cores and grab samples were collected in the Upper Gulf of Thailand to determine sedimentation rates and to determine if metal concentrations reflect anthropogenic inputs.Accumulation rates of sediments in the Upper Gulf measured using the ²¹⁰Pb method, appear to vary from ca. 4 to 11 mm yr^?1. Sediment budgets suggest that little of the sediment delivered to the Upper Gulf by the major rivers is ultimately transported to the Lower Gulf. Metal concentrations in Upper Gulf sediments appear to be dominantly controlled by natural inputs.     

吉林东部延吉地区中生代火山岩地球化学特征

吉林东部延吉地区大面积出露的中生代火山岩,根据岩性特征可分为三个火山喷发旋回。各旋回火山岩均属ＳｉＯ２过饱和的中基性—中酸性岩类。从第一旋回至第三旋回岩石碱度变化较大,岩浆分异明显,特别是第三旋回分异作用明显高于第一、二旋回。火山岩中金、铜微量元素的平均含量普遍高于同类岩石的克拉克值几倍至几十倍,而且随着岩浆分异程度的升高,其平均含量有明显升高的趋势,为本区金、铜矿床的形成提供了物质来源。     

The evolution of fluviatile sediments as demonstrated by QDa-Md analysis

The modification of scree sediments entering a stream is examined by QDa-Md methods. Loss of fine or coarse subpopulations or both in combination from an initially symmetrical grain size distribution is shown to result in the dispersion of the QDa-Md plots throughout an envelope typical of fluvial sediments. Natural plots from the Rivers Earn and Tay provide live examples of the transenvironmental trend patterns demonstrated.     

莱州湾沉积有机碳储量及海洋健康评估

海洋沉积碳储量在全球碳循环中发挥着重要作用,而海湾作为海洋的重要组成部分,近几十年来由于受人类活动影响有机碳循环发生了明显变化,对碳储备能力的响应同样不可忽视,但却鲜有报道。研究区域位于莱州湾(37°~38°N,118.9°~120.3°E),是渤海三大海湾之一。利用39个表层沉积物和其6根沉积箱式柱状样(站位为6154、6174、6184、6194、7211和7214,柱长在17~39cm之间)对海湾有机碳储量进行评估。同时,通过计算海洋健康指数(OHI)十个目标之一的碳储(carbon storage)来评估海洋健康状况。结果表明,莱州湾表层沉积物1cm的有机碳储量平均为0.3t/ha,在研究区域的中部、东部和北部偏高,莱州湾东南部、区域西北部以及黄河口处有机碳储量偏低。莱州湾0~20cm有机碳储量为20.6t/ha,低于我国表层土壤0~20cm有机碳储量29.7t/ha以及浙江、云南、海南和重庆等省市。莱州湾碳储(carbon storage)得分为37,远低于中国平均值51以及世界平均水平75。

     

江南造山带九岭南缘宜丰岩组火山岩锆石SHRIMP年代学及Hf同位素特征

赣西北九岭南缘宜丰岩组是江南造山带的一个重要地层单元,但其沉积时限和区域地层对比关系尚不确定。本次1∶5万区调工作中,在万载—宜丰一带宜丰岩组地层中发现有呈夹层产出的变英安岩、变凝灰岩。SHRIMP锆石定年表明,变英安岩、变凝灰岩分别形成于835.0±7.8Ma和830.3±9.5Ma。结合宜丰岩组底部凝灰质砂岩最年轻的一组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄852.9±2.6Ma,认为宜丰岩组沉积时限为～853 Ma至～830Ma,表明宜丰岩组主体形成于新元古代早期。锆石Hf同位素显示,ε_Hf(t)变化范围较大,为-16.02～+12.04,总体以正值为主。最为接近亏损地幔成分的5个锆石颗粒的ε_Hf(t)变化范围为+9.65～+12.04,具有最年轻的Hf二阶段模式年龄0.95～1.09Ga,与成岩年龄差距不大,表明源区中可能有新生地壳物质的加入。野外沉积学研究表明,宜丰岩组浊流沉积构造发育,主体属于半深海大陆斜坡沉积。区域上,宜丰岩组与溪口岩群、双桥山群、冷家溪群、西村岩组、南桥岩组、苍溪岩组沉积时限基本相当,沉积环境相似,应明确为华南"晋宁运动"不整合面之下的一套弧后盆地环境产物。     

An origin for laminated glacimarine sediments through sea-ice build-up and suppressed iceberg rafting

Laminated glacimarine sediments are observed in visual core logs and x-radiographs from Scoresby Sund and Nansen Fjord, east Greenland. They are mostly underlain and overlain by massive or stratified glacimarine diamicton (Dmm or Dms), which is a product of iceberg delivery of heterogeneous debris and, in Scoresby Sund, reworking by deep-drafted iceberg keels. The laminated sediments are AMS radiocarbon dated to two cold periods since the last, Late Weichselian deglaciation: the Younger Dryas stadial (Milne Land Stadial in east Greenland) and the Little Ice Age. During cold climatic events, multiyear shorefast sea ice ('sikussak') formed in these fjords and trapped the icebergs. Fine-grained, laminated muds (Fl) were deposited in Scoresby Sund when the flux of icebergs was suppressed, but turbid meltwater continued to provide some sediment flux to the fjord systems, varying through time to produce laminations. In Nansen Fjord, thinner and often massive mud layers (Fm) resulted from shorter intervals of sea-ice cover with no ice rafting. Stratified diamicton layers (Dms), which alternate with mud deposition to produce a laminated unit, probably represent intervening times of more open conditions with iceberg rafting. In Scoresby Sund, foraminifera are either absent from the laminated unit or begin to appear towards the end of its deposition. The absence of both benthic and planktonic foraminifera also suggests that multiyear sea ice was covering the core sites. There is no evidence of macrofaunal activity, and bioturbation is absent from the laminated sediments. Satellite data show that multiyear shorefast sea ice is present in several areas of the high Arctic today, and this traps icebergs calved from interior ice-cap drainage basins. Thus, the process of laminated glacimarine sediment formation is likely to be applicable to a number of areas of the modern and Quaternary Arctic.     

深海沉积物与履带相互作用试验研究

深海沉积物与履带相互作用的力学特性是深海资源采运设备设计的重要依据。在国内外专家调查、研究的基础上,以膨润土与水的混合物代替深海沉积物,将履带分解为压陷板和剪切板,在特制的试验槽内开展了沉积物的压力沉陷试验与剪切变形试验,得到了沉积物与履带相互作用的压力-沉陷关系曲线和剪应力-剪切位移关系曲线。基于Bekker沉陷模型,得到了模拟沉积物压力-沉陷模型的各个参数值;同时,发现模拟沉积物剪切变形过程具有明显的阶段性,具体可分为线弹性阶段、应变强化阶段、应变软化阶段和残余应力阶段
