Southeastern extension of the Red River fault zone (RRFZ) and its tectonic evolution significance in western South China Sea

The tectonic evolution features in the western South China Sea (SCS) are directly related to the Tethys tectonic province. The Red River fault zone (RRFZ) comprises a large part of the Tethys tectonic province and is the boundary between the Europe Block and the India-Asia Block[1]. It serves as the contact between the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the SCSopening. The RRFZ, which is an important dividing line in the geology of the SE Asia, is about 1000 km long in the co…     

Sulfur Isotope Geochemistry of the Supergiant Xikuangshan Sb Deposit, Central Hunan, China: Constraints on Sources of Ore Constituents

Abstract. The supergiant Xikuangshan Sb deposit is located in the Middle to Upper Devonian limestone of central Hunan, China. Primary ores are composed of early-stage stibnite and calcite with rare pyrite, early main-stage stibnite and quartz, and late main-stage stibnite and calcite. New sulfur isotope data reveal the clustering of δ³⁴S values (+5 ∼ +8 %) for both early and late main-stage stibnite; a single early-stage stibnite exhibits δ³⁴S value (+7.5 %) identical to its main ore-stage counterparts and the coexisting calcite has almost unmodified carbon isotope composition (-4.4 %). The data suggest a probable common source of sulfur for stibnite that was deposited at different paragenetic stages. A much wider variation in δ³⁴S values for early main-stage stibnite (+3.5 to +16.3 %, av. +7.5 %) compared to that for late main-stage stibnite (+5.3 to +8.1 %, av. +6.2 %) can be interpreted to be due to local interaction of earlier ore fluid with Devonian host rocks. The previous studies show that the Precambrian basement contains elevated Sb concentrations, and two distinctive sulfur reservoirs with δ³⁴S_pyrite values at ca. +11 ∼ +24 % and -7.0 ∼-11 %. The homogenizing effect for sulfur hydrothermally leached from the two reservoirs might have provided ore constituents for the Xikuangshan fluids.     

巴基斯坦曼塞赫拉7.8级地震对中国大陆大震趋势影响的初步研究

讨论了喜马拉雅弧型地震构造带西反射弧地带(简称“西触角区”),大地震活动的基本特征及2005年10月巴基斯坦曼塞赫拉7.8级地震发生后,对中国大陆地震趋势的可能影响。西触角区(N30~45°,E61~80°)大震活动存在显著的时间上10年左右成组性及两次大震时间间隔小于1个月的爆发性,地点上的成丛性,兴都库什深震区的地震有一定先兆意义,与东触角区(N20~29°,E95~102°)大地震也存在较好的相关性。沿欧亚大陆与印度洋、澳州板块碰撞带上印尼苏门答腊8.9级地震后,再次发生巴基斯坦7.8级大地震,显示出这一板缘地震带正处于活跃状态。研究认为未来1~2年应注意西触角区尤其是天山地震带的大震连发的危险性及东触角区(缅甸及川、滇为主)发生响应性大地震的可能性。对中国大陆内部其他地区大震形势的影响可能不大。     

吉林省西部地方性氟、砷中毒现状及治理

吉林省西部是地方病高发地区,尤其是地方性氟、砷中毒的情况比较严重,尽管防氟改水工作已经进行40多年,但目前仍有相当多村屯的村民饮用高氟水,严重威胁人民的身体健康并影响当地的经济发展。针对现状作者分析了产生的原因并提出具体治理建议。     

近116年江淮梅雨异常及其环流特征分析

利用江淮地区1885—2000年近116a梅雨特征量资料和NCEP／NCAR逐日再分析资料，采用谐波分析、最大熵谱分析、小波分析、合成分析等方法讨论了江淮梅雨特征量的年际-年代际变化特征及梅雨异常的环流特征。结果表明；江淮梅雨特征量存在显著的年际和年代际变化特征。入梅日期、出梅日期、梅雨期长度呈显著上升的长期变化趋势，梅雨量和梅雨强度长期趋势变化不明显；梅雨特征量均存在多时间尺度的振荡周期，入梅日期具有准24a、准5a和准3a的显著周期；出梅日期具有准35a、准22a和准5a的显著周期；梅雨量具有准40a、准15a、准9a和准3a的显著周期。丰梅年南亚高压中心强度和西太平洋副热带高压增强。枯梅年则反之。     

湘东南汝城盆地性质及其对华南燕山早期构造环境的启示

湘东南汝城盆地为一早侏罗世—中侏罗世初期的陆相盆地。下侏罗统心田门组和高家田组主要为内陆湖泊—沼泽相碎屑岩沉积,夹有明显受地壳混染并具低钾高钠特征的板内拉斑玄武岩,表明早侏罗世汝城盆地为同造山上隆伸展裂陷盆地。中侏罗统千佛岩组与下伏高家田组为平行不整合接触关系。千佛岩组下部具类磨拉石沉积特征,上部局部含高家田组玄武质火山碎屑,地层呈西倾单斜式,盆地西缘为逆断裂所压覆等,表明中侏罗世初期汝城盆地为挤压收缩盆地,形成于造山构造环境。结合中生代地质构造发展框架及燕山早期晚阶段后造山花岗岩的大量发育等,认为湘东南及湘粤赣边区早侏罗世—中侏罗世初期属陆内同造山构造环境,中侏罗世早期—晚侏罗世为后造山构造环境。汝城盆地性质的确定对深入研究华南地区中生代构造演化具有重要的启示意义。

西部地震资料主要处理技术研究

西部地区地表情况多样,资料品质较差,多属低信噪比资料。这对类资料,静校正叠前去噪及速度分析等技术是非常重要的基础工作。针对西部地区不同的资料采用相应的静校正方式,在叠前去噪方面,就FK域倾角滤波方法的应用上进行了改进,克服了该方法一些“蚯蚓化”、“假构造”等弊端,总结出一套切实可行的尤其是用于西部资料的去噪方法。并针对多次波的特点,采用时间域,频率域及τp域等多种方式进行多次压制,在西部资料的处理中取得了较好的效果。

用一个全球谱模式作数值试验,研究了１９７９年６月中蟾一次西太平洋副热带高压西伸北进的中期天气过程中热带西太平洋地区理想热源的作用。结果表明：理想热源的作用大约在４天以后可以影响我国东部的副热带高压和中高纬度的环流;理想热源在热带洋面上产生的扰动首先沿副高南边的东风气流向西北方向传播,到中纬西风带后分为两支,一支继续向西北方向传播,另一支转向东北偏东方向传播,两支扰动的共同作用导致副热带高压和西风带     

Source study and tectonic implications of the 1995 Ventimiglia (border of Italy and France) earthquake (ML=4.7)

We analyse the source process and the aftershock distribution of the April 21, 1995, Ventimiglia, M_L=4.7 earthquake using the records of permanent high dynamic broad-band seismic stations and a temporary network deployed on land and at sea few hours after the earthquake. This event occurred on the western Mediterranean coast, near the border between Italy and France, at a depth of 9 km, at a point where Alpine tectonic units and Late Oligocene extensional structure overlap and are currently undergoing compressional stress. The focal solutions of the mainshock and three aftershocks depict a dominant reverse faulting with an important strike-slip component, which underlines two nodal planes: a NW–SE-dipping north fault and a NE–SW-dipping south fault. We operate a careful re-location of the aftershocks using a master-event technique and data from the temporal network and obtain a predominant NW–SE alignment. Then, we analyse the rupture process using an empirical Green function approach. We find that the mainshock broke a 0.5 to 1 km fault length and that the rupture propagated during 0.1–0.2 s probably in a SE direction. Those two arguments, together with the recent fault trace that exists close to the epicentre, leads us to propose that this event expresses the reactivation of an old transverse NW–SE structure with a dextral movement. This study thus emphasizes the role of inherited, deep-rooted, transcurrent features in the tectonic reactivation of this passive margin. It also underlines the importance of combining short-period and broad-band seismology to better resolve and understand regional tectonic processes in areas of moderate seismic activity and complex geology.
