义敦成矿带铜银铅锌锡矿产资源调查评价进展与潜力

义敦成矿带地处独特的大地构造部位，经历了复杂的地质构造演化和强烈的岩浆活动，成矿条件优越，矿产资源丰富。1999年实施国土资源地质大调查以来，相继发现了普朗、松诺、卓玛斑岩铜矿；砂西、热朗泽、夏隆等银铅锌矿；热隆、脚根玛锡矿；打马池觉铜金矿等一批具有重要找矿前景的矿床(点)。该地区矿产资源勘查工作程度低，蕴藏着较大的找矿潜力，有望成为国家级重要的有色及贵金属矿产勘查和开发基地。     

地表剥蚀作用对地应力场反演的影响

Continuous wavelet-like filter for a spherical surface and its application to localized admittance function on Mars

We have developed a 2D isotropic continuous wavelet-like transform for a spherical surface. The transform is simply defined as the surface convolution between the original field and a kernel, based on the zeroth-order Bessel function with a spherical correction. This spherical correction violates the geometric similarity for the various scales of the kernels, which becomes more apparent at longer wavelengths. We found numerically that this transform is practically equivalent to a Gaussian bandpass filter in the spherical harmonic domain. We have applied this wavelet-like transform on the recently acquired Martian gravity and topography fields. Using a ratio constructed locally from these two fields, we have constructed a map describing the lateral variations of the localized admittance function on Mars.     

The role of sediment specific gravity and availability on cluster evolution

The objective of this experimental study was to account for the role of sediment availability and specific gravity on cluster formation and cluster geometric characteristics (spacing and size). To isolate the effects of sediment availability and specific gravity on cluster evolution, mono‐sized spheres were used to simulate the cluster evolutionary cycle. Overall, twelve experimental runs were carried out in the laboratory flume. Six of these tests were performed by using glass spheres (specific gravity, SG = 2·58) and the other six by employing an equal combination of glass and Teflon spheres (SG = 2·12) of the same diameter to evaluate the role of specific gravity on cluster evolution. The three sediment availability conditions that were investigated here simulated isolated gravel elements, pool–riffle sequences and densely packed gravel‐bed. An advanced image analysis technique was employed to track the evolution of cluster microforms and provide quantitative information about the size and shape of clusters and the number of clusters per unit area. The results of this study showed that: (1) sediment availability affects the architecture and size of cluster microforms; and (2) clusters consisting of mono‐sized sediments start disintegrating at twice the incipient conditions. By performing complementary tests for the isolated gravel elements case, it was found that the evolutionary cycle of individual clusters could be described as follows, in order of increasing stress: no cluster→two particle cluster→comet→triangle→rhomboid→break up.
