鄂尔多斯盆地中央古隆起东部古岩溶地貌小型沟槽的识别

鄂尔多斯盆地中央古隆起东部奥陶纪末古岩溶地貌发育,古地貌中沟槽的准确刻画识别对研究油气成藏和提高勘探成功率具有重要意义。沟槽在地震上的响应主要是槽的深度而不是宽度,当地层倾角大于5°时,沟槽的响应特征模糊;而当地层倾角小于5°时,槽的侵蚀深度在10～5 m,它的地震同相轴相位会反转。如果侵蚀深度在30～10 m,那么它的同相轴增益会增大;如果侵蚀深度大于30 m,它的同相轴会呈复波型。利用井数据和实际地质资料建立沟槽充填模型,应用全波场数值模拟技术生成叠后偏移剖面,结合地震响应特征分析,推测描述了中央古隆起东部马家沟组五段中、下组合中小型沟槽的分布。     

Influence of climate fluctuation on clay formation in the Baikal drainage basin

Sedimentary cores BDP 96 and 98 and VER 96-2 St. 3 from Academician Ridge in Lake Baikal were investigated to investigate the effect of climatic fluctuations on rock weathering and clay formation in the Baikal drainage basin. Illite, smectite, vermiculite, and kaolinite were identified as the major clay minerals in the sediments by X-ray diffraction analysis. Biotite in gravels in alluvial soils of the Baikal drainage area weathers through illite to vermiculite, smectite, and finally to kaolinite. To investigate the relationship between weathering and climate, we measured the clay content and the concentration of biogenic silica in the sediments. High surface productivity (increased biogenic silica) and high chemical weathering (decreased clay content) occurred simultaneously, showing that crustal weathering and soil formation were enhanced under warm climatic conditions.Clay formation was enhanced in the watershed from the Late Miocene to the Middle Pliocene, and mechanical weathering of rocks increased during glacial intervals after the climate began to cool in Late Pliocene time. This change in the weathering mode in the watershed reduced the nutrient flux and aquatic productivity of Lake Baikal.     

Ge/Si and Sr/Sr tracers of weathering reactions and hydrologic pathways in a tropical granitoid system

Ge/Si and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr data from primary and secondary minerals, soil waters, and stream waters in a tropical granitoid catchment quantitatively reflect mineral alteration reactions that occur at different levels within the bedrock–saprolite–soil zone. Near the bedrock–saprolite interface, plagioclase to kaolinite reaction yields low Ge/Si and 87Sr/86Sr. Higher in the regolith column, biotite weathering and kaolinite dissolution drive Ge/Si and 87Sr/86Sr to high values. Data from streams at base flow sample the bedrock–saprolite interface zone, while at high discharge solutes are derived from upper saprolite–soil zone. Coupled Ge/Si and 87Sr/86Sr can be effective tools for quantifying the importance of specific weathering reactions, and for geochemical hydrograph separation.     

柴达木盆地西北缘现代冲积扇沉积特征及石油地质意义

柴达木盆地处于古亚洲构造域和特提斯－喜马拉雅构造域的结合部，构造应力大而复杂，导致盆内地势起伏大，加上西南暖湿气流受喜马拉雅山系阻隔难以进入境内，盆内气候干旱，最终导致盆地内冲积扇极为发育。通过对大柴旦地区大头羊煤矿、鱼卡河、波门河和八里沟四个冲积扇的实地考察，共观测到3个亚相8个微相：扇根亚相沉积物最粗，分为古沟道、主水道和主水道间微相；扇中亚相沉积物偏细，成熟度增高，分为辫状水道、辫状水道间和纵坝微相；扇缘亚相沉积物最细，流体能量最低，分为水道径流和片流微相。不同沉积微相其沉积特征差异较大，认为古沟道、主水道和辫状水道微相具有较好的储集性能。勘探表明，冲积扇沉积与储层有着密切的关系，其内形成的油藏具有“自我保护”的能力；另外，冲积扇的形成很可能导致上覆地层形成扇背斜油藏，也可能导致下伏基岩形成基岩风化壳油藏。     

The Schmidt hammer in rock material characterization

The Schmidt hammer provides a quick and inexpensive measure of surface hardness that is widely used for estimating the mechanical properties of rock material. However, a number of issues such as hammer type, normalization of rebound values, specimen dimensions, surface smoothness, weathering and moisture content, and testing, data reduction and analysis procedures continue to influence the consistency and reliability of the Schmidt hammer test results. This paper presents: a) a critical review of these basic issues; and b) the results of tests conducted on granitic rocks of various weathering grades in the light of the conclusions of this review. It was found that a very good correlation exists between L and N hammer rebound values and that both hammers are fairly sensitive to the physical properties, particularly to dry density though less so to effective and total porosities. The N hammer, producing a lesser scatter in the data, proved to be more efficient than the L hammer in predicting uniaxial compressive strength and Young's modulus. The exponential form of the correlation curves was found to reflect microstructural changes during the course of weathering and the differences in the probing scales or mechanisms in the means of measuring these mechanical properties, and could be generalized to other crystalline igneous rocks. The possibility of predicting weathering grades from rebound values was also explored. The changes in the rebound values during multiple impacts at a given point produced a better indication of the weathering grade than a single impact value. It was concluded that increasing the impact energy and plunger tip diameter should significantly reduce the scatter in coarse-grained weathered rocks and hence improve the reliability of the Schmidt hammer as a rock material characterization tool.     

Bioprotection explored: the story of a little known earth surface process

Bioprotection is identified as an earth surface process. However, it has been little studied, little acknowledged and yet may have major implications for the operation and management of geomorphic systems. Key early observations are traced back to Darwin's ‘Voyage of the Beagle’, Geikie in the natural environment and Watson for the built environment. Recent field observations and experimental work examining bioprotection are reviewed, with a specific focus on lichens and the landscape, as are its complex interactions with other processes. A conceptual model of bioprotection is presented for the case of an epilithic lichen on a limestone surface.     

贵州平坝县白云岩风化壳中稀土元素分布特征之初步研究

本文报道了平坝白云岩风化剖面风化前缘稀土元素超常规富集(总量达3%以上)现象及其特征,并通过主元素、稀土元素的测定,结合白云岩中“酸不溶物”的提取和代表性样品的化学淋溶实验研究,讨论了白云岩风化壳剖面稀土元素的分异特征,认为风化前缘稀土元素的富集是由3方面的因素共同作用造成的:1)对白云岩风化残积的继承;2)剖面上部一部分轻稀土淋滤聚积;3)碳酸盐岩中非均匀分布的原生含磷矿物风化产生的稀土磷酸盐矿物的聚集,后者是最重要的原因。     

Boulder weathering and erosion associated with a wildfire, Sierra Ancha Mountains, Arizona

An April–May 2000 “Coon Creek Fire” burned 37.5 km² of the Sierra Ancha Mountains, 32.3 km miles north of Globe, AZ—including 25 sandstone and 19 diorite boulders surveyed in 1989 and resurveyed after the burn, after the summer 2000 monsoon season, and after the winter 2001 season. When viewed from the perspective of cumulative eroded area, both sandstone and diorite displayed bimodal patterns with 79% of sandstone boulder area and 93% of diorite boulder area undergoing either no fire-induced erosion or fire-induced erosion >76 mm. When stretched over cumulative boulder areas, erosion due to the fire averaged >26 mm for sandstone and >42 mm for diorite. Post-fire erosion from thunderstorm summer rains averaged <1 mm for 5 diorite and 1 mm for 10 sandstone boulders. While only a single diorite boulder eroded an average of 1.2 mm after the winter, winter erosion removed an average of 5.5 mm from 14 sandstone boulders. Thus, fire appears to increase a rock's susceptibility to post-fire weathering and erosion processes, as predicted by Goudie et al. [Earth Surf. Process. Landf. 17 (1992) 605]. In contrast to experimental research indicating the importance of size in fire weathering, no statistically significant relationship exists between erosion and boulder height or boulder surface area—a result similar to Zimmerman et al. [Quat. Res. 42 (1994) 255]. These data exclude 12 original sites and 85 boulders at sites impacted by the fire that could not be relocated, with a reasonable cause for the lack of relocation being boulder obliteration by the fire. Given evidence from ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al cosmogenic nuclides [Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 186 (2001) 269] supporting the importance of boulders in controlling evolution of nonglaciated, bouldered landscapes [Geol. Soc. Amer. Bull. 76 (1965) 1165], fire obliteration of boulders could be an important process driving drainage evolution in nonglaciated mountains.
