Sediment retention at the Changjiang sub-aqueous delta over a 57 year period,in response to catchment changes

The growth of a river delta system is controlled mainly by fluvial sediment discharge and sediment retention in the deltaic areas. In the present study, we attempt to define a sediment retention index, R, and its relation to the deposition rate of the delta. Based upon two assumptions that the amount of the sediment that escapes from the deltaic areas, Q_E, is stationary with minor fluctuations, and that there is a linear relationship between the deposition rate averaged over the sub-aqueous delta (D_av) and the deposition rate at accretion sites within the delta (D_R), the changes in the accretion/erosion patterns of the Changjiang sub-aqueous delta during the period of 1951–2007, in response to river sediment discharge changes, are analyzed. The results show that the sediment retention index can be related to the deposition rate of the sub-aqueous delta; the spatial-temporal distribution pattern of the deposition rate reveals the behaviour of sediment retention of a delta system. For the Changjiang sub-aqueous delta, fluvial sediment discharge data, together with Pb-210 based deposition rates, provide useful information on sediment retention. Changes in the sediment retention index and the accretion/erosion patterns of the sub-aqueous delta have taken place in response to river input changes. In order to improve our understanding of the processes associated with estuarine sediment retention, sediment cores with sufficient spatial coverage may be collected and analyzed to establish accurate Q_E–R and D_av–D_R relationships. In combination with numerical modeling of sediment transport, these relationships form a basis for the analysis of sediment retention mechanisms.     

甘蒙北山地区海相二叠系时代及其区域对比

甘蒙北山地区海相二叠系是中亚造山带最年轻的海相地层之一,但其精确时代尚缺少高精度年龄数据约束。此次研究获得北山地区双堡塘组火山岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄285.7±2.9 Ma、280.9±2.8 Ma、279.2±4.8 Ma和272.7±2.6 Ma。同位素年龄和古生物组合证明北山海相二叠系时间延限为早二叠世亚丁斯克期—中二叠世卡匹敦期(Artinskian-Capitanian,286~265Ma),其中双堡塘组、菊石滩组和金塔组时代分别主要为亚丁斯克—沃德期(Wordian)、沃德期和卡匹敦期。区域对比表明中亚造山带新疆北部地区的海相沉积最终消失在早二叠世空谷期(Kungurian)之前(288Ma),而甘蒙北山和内蒙古地区海相沉积可持续至中二叠世卡匹敦期(265Ma)。     

HEIMDALL'S STONES AT VITEMÖLLA IN SE SWEDEN AND THE CHRONOLOGY AND STRATIGRAPHY OF THE SURROUNDINGS

Heimdall's Stones at Vitemölla is an archaeological monument of stones arranged in circles and where sightlines can be identified of the sunrise and sunset at winter and summer solstices and spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, this stone monument is likely to have served as an archaeoastronomic observatory. It is founded in a fossil land surface now covered by half a metre of eolian sand. In order to date this sand drift, sediment coring was performed in the nearby Sandefloen bog. Seven levels were subjected to AMS C14 dating. The first sand drift, correlated with the sand drift covering Heimdall's Stones, was dated at 500–600 cal. bc . Consequently, the observatory has to date back to the Bronze Age, fitting well with its Sun cult and with the rock carvings recorded on the individual stones. At the seashore 500 m east of the observatory and the bog, we were able to reconstruct the sea-level changes. In conclusion, we combine the recorded sea-level changes with the C14-dated bog stratigraphy and the observed stratigraphy at Heimdall's Stones (covering an area of 500×500 m) into one unified picture. The chronostratigraphic position of Heimdall's Stones agrees well with the dating of the Kivik grave. The Vitemölla area is likely to have been an important cultural centre in the Bronze Age.     

古近系研究新进展

介绍国际地层委员会古近系分会在全球界线层型剖面和点位( GSSP)工作上的新进展和我国陆相古近系分阶情况。中国陆相古近系分为8个阶:上湖阶(下古新统)、池江阶(上古新统)、岭茶阶(下始新统)、卢氏阶(中始新统下部)、垣曲阶(中始新统上部)、蔡家冲阶(上始新统)、乌兰布拉格阶(下渐新统)和塔本布鲁克阶(上渐新统)。其中,白垩系-古近系界线、古新统-始新统界线和始新统-渐新统界线与国际上相应界线接近或一致。近来,在湖南衡东地区获得碳同位素负向漂移的数据,使得该剖面可与新近国际地层委员会批准的伊普里斯阶层型剖面对比,其余各个阶的界线缺少磁性地层学和同位素地层学的证据,同时也有待于国际上“金钉子”的确立     

中国侏罗纪年代地层学研究的现状

“国际地层表”依据菊石带建立起来的侏罗纪年代地层系统在全球海相侏罗系的划分和对比中有着广泛的应用,但却很难直接应用于非海相侏罗纪地层系统中。中国的侏罗系多属非海相,近年来我国地质工作者们不但将中国的海相侏罗系与全球侏罗纪年代地层系统进行了较合理的对比,发现了穿越海相三叠系-侏罗系界线的连续沉积的剖面,而且建立了非海相侏罗系的阶。但是中国非海相侏罗系区域性阶的时代和不同阶之间的界线有待海相化石和地层测年来确定或检验

Problems of Sequence Stratigraphy in China

Sequence stratigraphy is the study of rock relationshipwithin a chronostratigraphic fram ework of the genetically re-lated strata bounded by unconform ities and its correlative con-formities(Van Wagoner,1995 ) .As a subdiscipline of stratig-raphy,sequence stratigraphy evolved in the late 1980 s fromseismic stratigraphy which was established in the late 1970 s(Mitchum,1977;Mitchum et al.,1977;Vail et al.,1977) .Although the history of sequence stratigraphy as a subdisci-pline is very brief,th…     

米兰柯维奇韵律层及其年代地层意义

本文简要介绍了米兰柯维奇轨道三要素（岁差、黄赤交角及偏心率）及其变化周期，并对因轨道要素的变化引起的韵律沉积层的研究现状进行了综述，由于气候变化的全球性以及轨道参数的相对稳定性，本文认为，米兰柯维奇韵律层可以作为盆际，盆内地层对比的重要辅助手段，并可用来测定地层单元的延续时间，实际应用结果表明，其精度要高于现行的生物地层学对比及同位素测龄法。
