Evolution of high-Mg–Al granulites from Sunkarametta, Eastern Ghats, India: evidence for a lower crustal heating–cooling trajectory

A suite of high-Mg–Al granulites from Sunkarametta, Eastern Ghats Belt, India, shows contrasting prograde assemblages of extremely aluminous orthopyroxene+cordierite+sapphirine and similarly aluminous orthopyroxene+Ti-rich spinel in closely associated domains. Textural and compositional characteristics indicate that both were derived from prograde dehydration–melting of biotite–plagioclase–quartz-bearing protoliths. The former assemblage was stabilized at relatively more magnesian bulk composition. Geothermobarometric data and petrogenetic grid considerations place 'peak' metamorphic conditions at c. 950 °C and 9 kbar. Subsequent to peak metamorphism, the rocks cooled to c . 700–750 °C, with slight lowering of pressure, and the retrograde reactions also involved melt–solid interaction. The inferred P – T  trajectory is one of heating–cooling at lower crustal (25–30 km) depths.     

A mass‐balance approach to estimate in‐stream processes in a large river

A mass‐balance approach was used to estimate in‐stream processes related to inorganic nitrogen species (NH₄⁺, NO₂^? and NO₃^?) in a large river characterized by highly variable hydrological conditions, the Garonne River (south‐west France). Studies were conducted in two consecutive reaches of 30 km located downstream of the Toulouse agglomeration (population 760 000, seventh order), impacted by modification of discharge regime and high nitrogen concentrations. The mass‐balance was calculated by two methods: the first is based on a variable residence time (VRT) simulated by a one‐dimensional (1‐D) hydraulic model; the second is a based on a calculation using constant residence time (CRT) evaluated according to hydrographic peaks. In the context of the study, removal of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) for a reach of 30 km is underestimated by 11% with the CRT method. In sub‐reaches, the discrepancy between the two methods led to a 50% overestimation of DIN removal in the upper reach (13 km) and a 43% underestimation in the lower reach (17 km) using the CRT method. The study highlights the importance of residence time determination when using modelling approaches in the assessment of whole stream processes in short‐duration mass‐balance for a large river under variable hydrological conditions.

A Miocene coarse volcaniclastic mass-flow deposit in the Shimane Peninsula,SW Japan: product of a deep submarine eruption?

 A subaqueous volcaniclastic mass-flow deposit in the Miocene Josoji Formation, Shimane Peninsula, is 15–16 m thick, and comprises mainly blocks and lapilli of rhyolite and andesite pumices and non- to poorly vesiculated rhyolite. It can be divided into four layers in ascending order. Layer 1 is an inversely to normally graded and poorly sorted lithic breccia 0.3–6 m thick. Layer 2 is an inversely to normally graded tuff breccia to lapilli tuff 6–11 m thick. This layer bifurcates laterally into minor depositional units individually composed of a massive, lithic-rich lower part and a diffusely stratified, pumice-rich upper part with inverse to normal grading of both lithic and pumice clasts. Layer 3 is 2.5–3 m thick, and consists of interbedded fines-depleted pumice-rich and pumice-poor layers a few centimeters thick. Layer 4 is a well-stratified and well-sorted coarse ash bed 1.5–2 m thick. The volcaniclastic deposit shows internal features of high-density turbidites and contains no evidence for emplacement at a high temperature. The mass-flow deposit is extremely coarse-grained, dominated by traction structures, and is interpreted as the product of a deep submarine, explosive eruption of vesicular magma or explosive collapse of lava.

TSYrockfall落石分析计算软件的开发与应用

边坡危岩落石作为在山区工程建设中经常遇到的一种地质灾害,严重威胁着铁路等交通工程的施工与运营安全。在多种因素的影响下,落石运动轨迹具有随机概率分布的特征,其能量状态和冲击大小和落石的运动状态密切相关。真实描述落石的运动轨迹,从而求解其能量状态及冲击力是后续针对性制定防护措施的前提和主要参考依据。本文在系统总结国内外既有落石分析软件的基础上,引入基于正态分布的概率计算方法,改进了落石运动轨迹计算的实用模型,并据此编制了一套落石分析计算软件,在概率计算的基础上,提出了落石运动的两条最不利轨迹,并采用多种方法对最不利轨迹的落石冲击力进行了计算。本软件已在贵广铁路何屋特大桥危岩落石工点进行了成功应用,取得了良好的效果,可在后续工点中推广应用。     

地质标准物质的最小取样量问题

地质标准物质已是当今地质分析数据质量保证与监控系统中最重要的手段之一。正确使用标准物质的重要条件是遵循标准物质最小取样量的规定。然而当今高灵敏度、小取样量（20-30mg）的现代主流分析技术正向着当前普遍使用的地质标准物质100mg最小取样量的要求提出挑战。本文从历史演变和当前需求讨论了地质分析取样量问题以及地质标准物质最小取样量及其应用意义,并提出了解决当前这一矛盾的技术措施与步骤。同时也提醒分析方法研究者、质量管理者和标准物质研制者关注取样量问题,以使更新换代快的技术方法和相对滞后的监管方法（包括标准物质）得到协调发展。

纯氢与掺氢天然气节流特性及节流系数预测新方法

井筒气水两相管流节流前后动态特性分析与控制,对保障致密气等高压含水气井高效稳定安全开采和水合物防治具有重要意义。考虑等熵绝热、等压热容、等容热容、不同井深节流能量等因素,推导气水两相流体流经喷嘴的能量、动能和温度动态变化等热力学微分方程组,建立高压含水气井两相节流能量、节流系统热量、节流物质平衡和流体质量流量变化等井下节流场数学模型,提出一种气水两相井筒节流前后动态特性分析与控制方法,为优化井下节流器及其节流喷嘴的结构参数和保障气井流动安全提供理论依据。最后依据数值模拟手段及其判断结果,以鄂尔多斯盆地东缘大宁−吉县区块为例进行验证,以揭示高压含水气井喷嘴尺寸和深度、含水率、节流前压力和温度对节流前后动态特性的影响规律。结果表明：高压含水气井气水两相流体质量流量先是随节流压力比减小而呈指数级增大,并在压力比降至0.55阈值附近时达到最大值,增大喷嘴下入深度和含水率、同时降低节流前压力和温度,可提高节流后温度,有利于抑制水合物生成;且节流过程临界质量流量受喷嘴内径的影响最大,含水率和节流前压力次之,而节流前温度和喷嘴深度的影响最小,且增加含水率会提高临界质量流量,但产气量也随之下降;大宁–吉县区块现场工程实例分析表明,井下节流喷嘴内径由3.0 mm扩至5.0 mm和节流前压力由14 MPa增至18 MPa时,气水两相流体的临界质量流量提升幅度分别为179.3%和27.8%,而利用地层温度等将节流前温度由313 K升至333 K时,节流过程临界质量流量反而小幅下降且下降幅度仅为5.15%,为此,增大喷嘴内径及其下入深度和节流前压力同时降低节流前温度,有利于提高气水两相流体节流过程中临界质量流量,并提升高压含水气井的产气量。
