四川盆地大气层中矿物颗粒-甲苯-Cr3+耦合规律模拟研究

四川盆地大气层具有湿度高和流通性弱的特征,冬春低温季节易形成雾霾。本文着重构建了低温高湿条件下的石英、方解石纳米颗粒与甲苯、Cr~(3+)共存体系,系统测试了石英、方解石颗粒与甲苯、Cr~(3+)耦合前后Zeta电位值、胶体粒径及团聚形态、亲疏水性的变化趋势,以模拟研究四川盆地低温高湿静稳大气环境中矿物颗粒、有机物、重金属离子之间的耦合作用规律。研究发现:甲苯、Cr~(3+)与石英、方解石之间存在显著的成键耦合作用,甲苯、Cr~(3+)存在时会大幅度降低高湿度环境中石英、方解石颗粒的Zeta电位值,增大两种矿物颗粒在低温条件下的活跃度; Cr~(3+)可通过静电作用力,促使石英、方解石颗粒在高湿度环境中形成粒径更大的团聚状胶体;甲苯吸附在石英和方解石颗粒表面会增强其疏水性,减弱高湿度水分对矿物胶体稳定性的侵扰。上述有关石英/方解石颗粒、甲苯、Cr~(3+)在低温高湿条件下的界面成键耦合作用规律发现,对理解四川盆地雾霾形成机制有积极的启发意义。     

莺歌海盆地构造演化与强烈沉降机制的分析和模拟

莺歌海盆地新生代发生了快速沉降, 盆内充填了最厚达17 km的沉积, 根据模拟实验, 印支地块或之上刚性地块的存在对莺歌海盆地的强烈沉降具有重要的贡献, 可能是造成莺歌海盆地裂陷期强烈沉降的重要原因之一.结合地质分析和物理模拟实验, 莺歌海盆地的演化大致可以分为以下4个主要阶段: 早期(42 Ma以前) 主要受到南海北部陆缘(主要是北部湾盆地) 裂解造成的右旋转换伸展作用的影响, 但影响范围较小, 主要为莺歌海盆地西北部和东部边界.42~21 Ma期间, 主要受控于印支地块左行走滑和顺时针旋转作用的影响, 莺歌海盆地在此期间发育了主体裂陷体系, 东侧受到右旋转换伸展应力场的叠加影响而导致沉降加强; 21~10.4 Ma期间, 受印支地块逐渐减弱直至停止的左行走滑作用的影响, 盆地西北部在21~15.5 Ma期间发生局部反转褶皱, 但盆地整体进入以热沉降为主的时期; 10.4 Ma以后, 盆地受华南地块沿红河断裂右旋走滑作用和5 Ma以后新一期热事件的影响.      

2016年11—12月北京及周边重污染过程PM2.5特征

该文对2016年11—12月北京及周边地区不同站点重污染期间PM_2.5质量浓度变化特征进行分析,并结合地面和探空气象要素及化学组分等对重污染成因进行深入探讨,比较了其中两次持续3 d及以上重污染过程的异同。结果表明:重污染期间北京及周边地区PM_2.5质量浓度较高,北京上甸子站、顺义站、朝阳站的PM_2.5质量浓度分别为73.1,130.8,226.0 μg·m-3,河北保定站和石家庄站分别为357.8 μg·m-3和346.9 μg·m-3。12月17—21日重污染过程比11月3—5日持续时间更长且PM_2.5质量浓度更高。通过对11—12月所有重污染过程分析发现,北京颗粒物重污染发生的主要气象条件是静稳天气。在排放源相对稳定情况下,逆温层的结构、演变和持续时间决定了重污染的程度,其中污染持续时间和污染期间的主导逆温层类型演变对重污染程度有较好的指示作用。较低的水平风速、逆温层的持续出现及更多的燃煤和机动车尾气排放是12月17—21日污染偏重的原因。     

Digital photogrammetry as a tool in analogue modelling: applications to volcano instability

Three techniques of digital photogrammetry have been applied successfully to laboratory analogue models to study surface displacements caused by various volcano deformation types. Firstly, side-perspective videos are used to differentiate profile displacements between cryptodome intrusion models and models deforming by ductile inner-core viscous flow. Both models show similar morphologic features including a bulged flank and an asymmetric upper graben. However, differences in displacement trajectories of the bulge crest reflect upward intrusion push contrasting with essentially downward displacement vectors of weak core models. The other two techniques use vertical views correlated automatically either as time-sequence monoscopic views or as coeval stereoscopic pairs. This exploits to a maximum the method’s potential by imaging surface displacements over the whole model. Successive monoscopic photograms, because they suffer only moderate numerical processing for topographic effect removal, can detect very small displacements occurring early in deformation processes. As illustrated by analysis of intrusion models, the monoscopic method allows prediction of fault locations and main displacement locations. It can also anticipate the principal strain directions, and separate different deformation stages. On the other hand, the stereo-photogrammetry technique, although more complicated, provides topography and volume changes, as well as pictures of surface displacements in three dimensions. Results are presented for the spreading of volcano models on a ductile substratum and viscous cored cones. We have found digital photogrammetry to be a useful tool for analogue modelling, because it provides quantitative data on surface displacements, including movement invisible to the eye, as well as topographic changes. It is a good method for investigating and comparing different deformation mechanisms. It is especially useful for interpretation of displacement patterns obtained from monitoring of natural active volcanoes. In fact, results of the methods used in the laboratory can be directly compared with field data from geodetic or photogrammetric surveys, as at Mount St. Helens in 1980.     

运动速度对褶皱—冲断带的构造变形样式的影响分析——来自硅胶和石英砂组合模型的模拟启示

运动速度与构造样式之间或许存在一定的内在联系,充分认识它们之间的关系对理解自然界的构造变形演化过程具有十分重要意义。为此,笔者等结合野外露头观察,开展了脆—韧性结构条件下,不同的变形速率对褶皱—冲断带的构造样式影响的物理模拟测试分析。结果表明：① 高应形速率形成以前冲为主的构造样式,中等应形速率形成以前冲和后冲为主的构造样式,而低应形速率则形成以纯后冲为主的构造样式。② 构造变形样式的差异主要是物质内部的应力状态所决定的：褶皱—冲断带的根带,脆性层剪应力大于基底韧性层的剪应力,形成以前冲断裂为主的构造样式; 而褶皱—冲断带的中段和前缘地区,脆性层的剪应力和基底韧性层的剪应力较为接近,形成后冲和对称性冲起构造为主。③ 构造地质体的变形速率很可能决定了其存在的物质状态。葡萄牙南部滨岸带的布丁构造和北美卡斯卡底古陆的纯后冲构造等特殊的构造样式极有可能是在差异的变形速率下形成。     

Impact of forest fires on regional air quality in Southeast Asia

Biomass burning, the burning of living and dead vegetation for land-clearing and land-use change, has been in practice in many tropical countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Mexico. Intense forest fires can also ignite subsurface organic soil components （e.g. peat）, which can continue to smolder long after the original surface fires are put out. Combustion of vegetation and peat has only recently been recognized as a major source of atmospheric pollution. The immediate effect of burning is the production and release of gases and particles into the atmosphere, in quantities that in some cases can be significant not only locally and regionally but also on a global scale. Vegetation fire emissions account for roughly half of the atmospheric constituents of hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and precursors of tropospheric ozone and may be the second largest source of anthropogenic aerosols after the production of sulfates from SO2. As a result, there has been considerable interest in studying the contribution of forest fires to the production of air pollutants. In recent years, Southeast Asian countries have been affected repeatedly by episodes of smoke haze from forest fires in Indonesia. During 1997-1998, the region was again shrouded in a haze worsened by prolonged drought linked to the E1 Nino weather phenomenon. Satellite pictures confirmed that air pollutants, originating from fires covering an estimated 800000 hectares of southern Kalimantan, Sumatra, and Java, have been transported by southwesterly monsoon winds across neighbouring Malaysia and Singapore to as far as Thailand and the Philippines. The impact of these extensive fires on the health of the residents and ecology in the affected areas was substantial, costly, and possibly long lasting. Most of the research on the environmental aspects of biomass burning has been directed towards the tropics in Africa and America, specifically to the tropical rain forests of Brazil and to the savannas of Africa and South America.     

南海岩石圈破裂方式与扩张过程的三维物理模拟

南海的形成演化一直是国内外关注的热点之一.为了揭示南海的构造演化过程, 分析对比了3组物理模拟实验.实验结果表明, 断裂样式和裂谷带的走向与岩石圈的初始热流变结构密切相关.对比模拟结果与陆缘的断层样式, 推测在张裂初期, 陆坡区比陆架区具有相对热减薄的岩石圈, 从而导致不同构造位置上发育不同的裂陷特征.受下地壳和软流圈韧性流动的影响, 断层越是靠近扩张区, 倾角变得越平缓.实验揭示, 破裂首先以点状出现, 这些点不断扩大并互相连接形成连续的扩张区.共轭边缘常具有对称的形状, 向海盆方向对凹或者对凸.当离散边界附近有刚性块体时, 扩张区域的边界会明显受到地块边缘形态的影响.通过模拟实验, 推测破裂过程可能以较粘性的方式进行.西北次海盆的发育可能是沿着中-西沙地块北缘深裂陷槽破裂的结果.      

Patterns and Dynamics of Rifting on Passive Continental Margin from Shelf to Slope of the Northern South China Sea:Evidence from 3D Analogue Modeling

Affected by thermal perturbation due to mantle uprising,the rheological structure of the lithosphere could be modified,which could lead to different rifting patterns from shelf to slope in a passive continental margin.From the observed deformation style on the northern South China Sea and analogue modeling experiments,we find that the rift zone located on the shelf is characterized by half grabens or simple grabens controlled mainly by long faults with large vertical offset,supposed to be formed with normal lithasphere extension.On the slope,where the lithosphere is very hot due to mantle upwelling and heating,composite grabens composed of symmetric grabens developed.The boundary and inner faults are all short with small vertical offset.Between the zones with very hot and normal lithosphere,composite half grnbens composed of half grabens or asymmetric grabens formed,whose boundary faults are long with large vertical offset,while the inner faults are relatively short.Along with the thickness decrease of the brittle upper crust due to high temperature,the deformation becomes more sensitive to the shape of a pre-existing weakness zone and shows orientation variation along strike.When there was a bend in the pre-existing weakness zone,and the basal plate was pulled by a clockwise rotating stress,the strongest deformation always occurs along the middle segment and at the transition area from the middle to the eastern segments,which contributes to a hotter lithosphere in the middle segment,where the Baiyun (白云) sag formed.
