珊瑚礁的成岩作用:来自南海永兴岛珊瑚礁的原位地球化学研究

珊瑚礁的地球化学特征记录了其形成时周围海水的状况,能够反映古海洋、古气候和古环境变化;然而珊瑚礁形成过程中及其形成后,容易受到成岩作用的影响,导致其矿物组成和地球化学特征发生变化;因此,在对珊瑚礁的研究中,首先要识别出保存原始沉积特征的组分,并排除后期成岩改造的影响.以西沙群岛永兴岛的SSZK1珊瑚礁钻孔岩心为研究对象...     

南极洲乔治王岛柯林斯冰帽冰芯火山喷发记录

矿物和结构分析揭示了南极洲乔治王岛柯林斯冰帽一支 80 .2 m冰芯中的 9层深褐色沉积物的火山灰特征。本文从冰川处于稳定状态的假定出发 ,根据 Dansgaard- Johnsen流动模式断代结果 ,建立了南设得兰群岛火山喷发序列。依冰芯记录判断 ,该区 1 650年以来的 340年间 ,共有 7轮火山喷发。1 875～ 1 92 5年间似为火山活跃期 ,喷发地点可能主要在欺骗岛 ;1 650～ 1 80 0年间为一相对平静期 ;此后一个世纪不太稳定 ;而过去的 1 0 0年间基本平静 ,只是世纪初和 50～ 70年代间各有一段动荡期。冰芯中记载的大多数火山喷发可在该区有关文献中找到记录。没有记录在案的几例喷发事件需进一步调查。冰芯中缺失 1 967～ 1 970年欺骗岛火山灰层位表明 ,研究得到的火山序列仍未包含所有的喷发事件。但本文展示的该区过去 340年间火山活动基本趋势并不因此而改变。     

Geomorphology of the Sub-Antarctic Australian Territory of Heard Island-McDonald Island

The geomorphology of Heard Island-McDonald Island is primarily the product of close interplay between volcanism, glaciation, and vigorous marine processes in a stormy sub-Antarctic environment. The dominant landform is the strato-volcano Big Ben (2745m), which is the highest mountain on Australian territory outside Antarctica. Other volcanic landforms include scoria cones, domes, open vertical volcanic conduits, lava flows and lava tubes. Volcanic activity is ongoing from the summit of Big Ben, and from Samarang Hill on McDonald Island. Early, but unproven, glacial sediments may exist within the Late Miocene - Early Pliocene Drygalski Formation, which forms a 300m high plateau along the northern coast of Heard Island. Growth of the present glaciers, some of which reach sea level, has been a response to progressive growth of the volcanoes. A variety of erosional and depositional glacial landforms is present, including major lateral moraines and extensive hummocky moraines. Vigorous longshore drift and an abundant sediment supply have produced a large spit at the downdrift end of the island, and formed bars from reworked glacigenic sediment that now impound proglacial estuarine lagoons, some of which have grown rapidly over recent decades as tidewater glaciers have retreated. Integrated study of the volcanic, glacial and coastal sequences offers the possibility of constructing a well-dated record of climate change. Research into the geomorphology, surficial sediments, and contemporary geomorphological processes, including glaciofluvial sediment flux, is also important as an aid to environmental management on land, and to management of the adjacent marine environment.     

Array analysis using circular-wave-front geometry:an application to locate the nearby seismo-volcanic source

The zero-lag cross-correlation technique, used for array analysis in the hypothesis of plane waves, has been modified to allow the wave front to be circular. Synthetic tests have been performed to check the capability of the method, which returns the input test data when the source–array distances are not greater than two or three times the array aperture. For this distance range the method furnishes an estimate of the apparent velocity and the epicentral coordinates of the source. For more distant sources the method becomes equivalent to that based on the planar-wave approximation, which gives an estimate of the backazimuth to the source and the apparent velocity. The method has been applied to seismic data recorded at the active volcano located at Deception Island, Antarctica. 35 volcanic long-period events occurring in a small swarm were selected. Results show that the epicentres are close to the array (between 0.4 and 2 km) and aligned in a SW direction, in agreement with one of the main directions of the fracture system of Deception volcano.

Stability of the Courses of the Warm Coastal Currents along the Kyushu Island Suggested by the Population Structure of the Japanese Turban Shell, Turbo (Batillus) Cornutus

The genetic structure of a population of the Japanese turban shell, Turbo (Batillus) cornutus at Sata-Misaki Point, on the southern coast of Kyushu Island, was determined on the basis of nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial DNA and compared with that of a population of the western coast of Kyushu Island. The significant genetic differentiation between these two populations suggests that the courses of the warm currents along the coast of the Kyushu Island have been relatively stable after the divergence between the two genetically distant groups of the Japanese turban shell, which was estimated to have occurred during some period in Pleistocene.

Indicator Tissues for Heavy Metal Monitoring – Additional Attributes

Preferred characteristics of biological indicators for heavy metal monitoring in marine ecosystems were documented 30 years ago. Heavy metal data from Raine Island on the outer-northern Great Barrier Reef are presented to introduce additional attributes for consideration, including a widened choice of biological tissues due to advances in trace heavy metal analysis. Kidney tissues, visceral mass and adductor muscle from the giant clam (Tridacna maxima), muscle tissue from trochus (Trochus niloticus) and axial muscle from four species of fish were targeted. The kidneys of giant clams had concentrations of heavy metals from 2 (Zn) to 2780 (Ni) times higher than corresponding concentrations in adductor muscles. Also, tissues of giant clam and the muscle of trochus gave different signals with respect to bio-available heavy metals. Linear correlations for heavy metals within and between tissues of giant clam and within muscle tissue of trochus, offer opportunities for the use of surrogates as well as a possible mathematical basis for assessing trends in heavy metal pollution.
