Did the moon form as a result of a thermonuclear explosion?

The proposed model explains the Moon formation as a result of a thermo-nuclear explosion due to which a big land mass was torn off from the Earth. Within the model framework, on the one hand, the data on the Moon’s physical and chemical parameters are in good agreement. On the other hand, this model corresponds to modern ideas about the dynamism of the Earth’s geological structure which presupposes the presence of a powerful energy source in the Earth’s core, which might have thermonuclear origin.     

插值公式、相关系数和采样间隔对GRACE Follow-On星间加速度精度的影响

本文基于星间加速度法开展了插值公式、相关系数和采样间隔对GRACE Follow-On星间加速度精度影响的研究.模拟结果表明:1)适当增加数值微分公式的插值点数可有效提高插值精度.基于9点Newton插值公式,星间加速度的插值误差为4.401×10-13 m·s-2,分别基于7点、5点和3点插值公式,插值误差增加了1.192倍、6.912倍和274.029倍.2)适当增大相关系数可有效降低星间加速度的误差.基于相关系数0.99,星间加速度方差为3.777×10-24 m2·s-4,分别基于相关系数0.90、0.70、0.50和0.00,方差增加了9.780倍、22.404倍、26.217倍和26.820倍.3)随着采样间隔增大,星间加速度方差逐渐降低,但卫星观测值的空间分辨率也同时降低,因此合理选取采样间隔有利于地球重力场精度的提高.4)基于9点Newton插值公式、相关系数(K波段测量系统星间距离和星间速度0.85、GPS轨道位置和轨道速度0.95、星载加速度计非保守力0.90)和采样间隔10 s,利用预处理共轭梯度迭代法,精确和快速反演了120阶GRACE Follow-On地球重力场,在120阶处累计大地水准面精度为4.602×10-4 m.     

地球横向不均匀结构对地表以及空间固定点同震重力变化的影响

本文提出一个新算法,用来高精度计算三维不均匀地球模型中地震位错引起的地表以及空间固定点同震重力变化.具体地说,我们首先把实际三维不均匀地球分解成球对称地球模型和对应的横向不均匀增量,分别进行计算,二者对应的计算结果分别称为球对称解和三维响应.由于球对称解可直接利用球对称地球模型位错理论计算得到,本文的目标是计算三维响应即地球的横向不均匀结构对同震重力变化的影响.然后,我们把三维响应再分为震源的响应和地球横向不均匀结构的响应,它们可分别借助对震源函数的扰动以及对平衡方程式的变分求解.本文推导出六个特殊点源位错引起的地表以及空间固定点同震重力变化计算公式(一个垂直走滑位错,两个相互垂直的倾滑位错,三个开裂位错),对这些公式进行适当组合就可以计算任意位置任意类型位错产生的同震重力变化,对应的计算公式同步给出.接着,依据36阶P波速度模型,我们利用岩石试验经验关系式推导出三维S波速度模型,密度模型,位场模型以及重力模型.最后,利用上述三维模型,本文计算出三种典型类型的点源位错产生的同震重力变化,结果显示三维响应与位错类型,震源深度都有关系,其最大响应占球对称解的0.5％左右,且在所有影响因素中S波速度模型影响最大.数值结果同时表明,三维响应中震源的响应与地球横向不均匀构造的响应处于同一量级.本文给出的地表和空间固定点同震重力变化计算公式可分别高精度解析地表重力和卫星重力观测数据(GRACE、GOCE等),提高大地测量数据理论解析水平.     

Multi‐scale relief model (MSRM): a new algorithm for the visualization of subtle topographic change of variable size in digital elevation models

Morphological analysis of landforms has traditionally relied on the interpretation of imagery. Although imagery provides a natural view of an area of interest (AOI) images are largely hindered by the environmental conditions at the time of image acquisition, the quality of the image and, mainly, the lack of topographical information, which is an essential factor for a correct understanding of the AOI's geomorphology. More recently digital surface models (DSMs) have been incorporated into the analytical toolbox of geomorphologists. These are usually high‐resolution models derived from digital photogrammetric processes or LiDAR data. However, these are restricted to relatively small areas and are expensive or complex to acquire, which limits widespread implementation. In this paper, we present the multi‐scale relief model (MSRM), which is a new algorithm for the visual interpretation of landforms using DSMs. The significance of this new method lies in its capacity to extract landform morphology from both high‐ and low‐resolution DSMs independently of the shape or scale of the landform under study. This method thus provides important advantages compared to previous approaches as it: (1) allows the use of worldwide medium resolution models, such as SRTM, ASTER GDEM, ALOS, and TanDEM‐X; (2) offers an alternative to traditional photograph interpretation that does not rely on the quality of the imagery employed nor on the environmental conditions and time of its acquisition; and (3) can be easily implemented for large areas using traditional GIS/RS software. The algorithm is tested in the Sutlej‐Yamuna interfluve, which is a very large low‐relief alluvial plain in northwest India where 10 000 km of palaeoriver channels have been mapped using MSRM. The code, written in Google Earth Engine's implementation of JavaScript, is provided as Supporting Information for its use in any other AOI without particular technical knowledge or access to topographical data. © 2017 The Authors.

Scale and timing of Rare Earth Element redistribution in the Taconian foreland of New England

Clastic sedimentary rocks, deposited on eastern North America in response to the Taconian Orogeny, commonly have Sm/Nd isotope relationships indicating substantial isotope disturbance near or subsequent to the time of sedimentation that may be associated with severe depletion in light rare earth elements (LREE). Affected units [Normanskill Formation (Austin Glen and Pawlet Members), Frankfort Formation and Perry Mountain Formation] are widely separated both geographically (western New York to western Maine) and stratigraphically (Middle Ordovician to Silurian). A model is proposed for the most likely explanation of the observed REE and Sm/Nd isotope relationships involving a two‐stage process. In the first stage, REE are redistributed on a mineralogical scale (dissolution/precipitation on a sample scale) often with the involvement of REE‐enriched trace phases such as apatite and monazite. This stage typically takes place during diagenesis but may also take place later during metamorphism and/or recent weathering, and results in isotope re‐equilibration on a sample scale. The second stage occurs when one or more of these phases is redissolved and REE are transported on large advective scales. Where LREE‐enriched phases are involved, this gives rise to LREE depletion in whole rocks. The timing of this second stage cannot be constrained from Sm/Nd isotope data and may take place at any time subsequent to the isotope re‐equilibration. Such complex histories of REE redistribution may result in serious errors in estimating Nd model ages but not in estimating the Nd isotope composition at the age of sedimentation. Thus, Sm/Nd ratios even of unmetamorphosed sedimentary rocks have to be carefully evaluated before the calculation of depleted mantle model ages for the provenance.     

基于DEM的地球与火星格状沙丘对比分析

沙丘是柴达木盆地可类比火星的重要地貌类型,沙丘形态是类火星风沙地貌研究的重要内容。基于数字地形分析（DTA）的方法,采用高程、坡度、坡向及地表复杂程度4个地形计量学指标对火星（北极地区）和地球（柴达木盆地）格状沙丘的地貌形态特征进行定量对比分析。结果表明：（1）两个研究区的高程剖面、坡度、坡向的地理学空间分布格局具有较大相似性;（2）高程、高程梯度、坡度和坡向的直方图相似度指数均大于0.7;（3）不同尺度上的分形维数近似相等,即地表复杂程度相似。用数字地形分析与直方图相似度指数结合的方法,定量或半定量地分析两个研究区沙丘地貌形态的相似性,这对类火星风沙地貌研究中科学选择试验点是一种新的尝试,以期为反演火星风沙地貌的形成与演化提供科学依据。     

On the Dynamical Effects of the Mantle in the Theory of Nutations

The influence of inerial forces in the mantle on its tidal deformations is considered. It is shown that the main role is played the corrections, described by spheroidal deformations, which result in corrections of nutational amplitudes of about –0.076 mas for the prograde semi-annual component, –0.056 mas for the retrograde annual component, 0.099 mas for the retrograde 19-year component, and –0.024 mas for the prograde 14-day component. These values exceed the errors of modem VLBI-measurements significantly (being of the order of 0.02-0.03 mas with the exception of the main nutational component); the effect of toroidal deformations is negligibly smalt in comparison with the accuracy of the VLBI-measurements, and for any practical purposes need not be considered.

初论华北东部中生代金成矿的地球动力学背景——以胶东金矿为例

山东金矿研究的最新成果表明 ,胶东众多金矿床 (无论矿化类型、产出空间、地质背景的不同)的成矿时代主要集中在 1 1 5± 1 5Ma(早白垩世 )前后这一狭短的时段内 ,暗示它们都受某一次统一的重大地质事件的制约 .金矿石中碳酸盐矿物的碳氧同位素组成显示成矿流体中的CO2 很可能来自深部 (岩石圈地幔甚或更深 ) .1 1 5± 1 5Ma(早白垩世 )前后正是华北东部中生代动力学体制转折的关键时段 ,此时古太平洋板块向欧亚大陆斜向快速俯冲、华北东部岩石圈剧烈减薄、郯庐断裂发生强烈左行走滑、区域构造应力场转变为强烈引张、火山 -岩浆活动也最为强烈、尤其是深源(幔源 )岩浆活动最为强烈 .同时 ,这也与部分学者提出的超级地幔柱的高潮时段 (1 2 5～ 1 0 0Ma)相吻合 ,暗示可能有深部物质 (不仅是上地幔物质 ,还可能包括下地幔物质 )和热能的大规模强烈上涌 .因此 ,胶东金矿 (以及华北东部的许多其它金矿床 )的形成有可能是 1 1 5± 1 5Ma前后华北东部动力学体制转折过程中一次大规模的深部物质和深部能量上涌的结果
