华南古特提斯东延问题的探讨

通过有关古特提斯洋的建造记录和后期构造变位分析 ,认为古特提斯洋东段的位置仍应在现今的青藏—滇西三江往南沿碧土、昌宁—孟连、程逸至马来半岛的文冬—劳勿、加里曼丹 (古晋 )、巴拉望经吕宋—台湾至日本一线 ,现今古特提斯洋古缝合带呈U字形是由于受到印度板块向北推挤、南海扩展以及菲律宾板块向西推挤扭曲改造而成。复原其在白垩纪末至新生代初期的展布方向应是近东西向的 ,现今的华南从桂西经桂东南、粤西、赣中至闽浙 ,也是北特提斯北部裂解大陆边缘 ,当古特提斯洋开始向北俯冲走向关闭时 ,它转化为活动大陆边缘     

准噶尔盆地东部的前晚奥陶世陆壳基底--来自盆地东北缘老君庙变质岩的证据

出露在准噶尔盆地东北缘的老君庙变质岩 ,主要由绿片岩相的石英片岩构成 ,其上残存含前泥盆纪床板珊瑚和海百合茎化石的大理岩。对石英片岩中的白云母进行的4 0 Ar/ 39Ar定年 ,获得了(4 6 1.5± 0 .2 )Ma的坪年龄和 (4 6 2 .0± 4 .1)Ma等时线年龄 ,表明该变质岩的变质时代不晚于中奥陶世晚期 ,准噶尔盆地东部具有前晚奥陶世的陆壳基底。结合区域地质资料 ,推测准噶尔盆地的基底主体是古生代期间的陆块。     

Slab pull effects from a flexural analysis of the Tonga and Kermadec trenches (Pacific Plate)

Thin-plate flexure models have been frequently used to explain the mechanical behaviour of the lithosphere at oceanic trenches, but little attention has been paid to using them as a way to check the relative importance of different plate-driving mechanisms. A 2-D numerical algorithm accounting for the flexural deflection of the lithosphere controlled by multilayered elastic–plastic rheology (brittle–elastic–ductile) has been applied to the seaward side of the Tonga and Kermadec trenches. This approach gives a better fit to the bathymetry on both trenches than assuming classical homogeneous plate models, and allows the interplate coupling forces and the lithospheric strength profile to be constrained. Our results show that, in order to fit the observed deflection of the lithosphere, a regional tensile horizontal force must act in both regions. This tensile force and its flexural effects are discussed in terms of slab pull as a main plate-driving mechanism. The predicted stress and yielding distributions partially match the outer-rise earthquake hypocentres within the subducting plate, and thus do not invalidate the model.

Marine organic geochemistry of the Eastern Mediterranean: 1. Aliphatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons in Cretan Sea surficial sediments

As part of a lipid biogeochemical study, aliphatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons were determined in surficial sediments from the Cretan Sea (South Aegean Sea) in the Eastern Mediterranean. Total concentrations of both aliphatic (AHC) and polyaromatic (PAH) hydrocarbons were low (562–5697 and 14.6–158.5 ng/g, respectively) with respect to other coastal sediments worldwide and compare with concentrations found in open sea areas. The composition of AHC was dominated by unresolved complex mixture (UCM) indicating the presence of petroleum-related hydrocarbon inputs as confirmed by the detection of specific α,β-hopanes. PAH consisted mainly of pyrolytic four- to five-ring compounds. UCM and PAH amounts revealed that Cretan Sea receives low supply of anthropogenic material compared to NW Mediterranean. The spatial distributions of AHC and PAH indicated that urban run-off and transport from the continental self are the major input pathway of anthropogenic and biogenic hydrocarbons from terrestrial sources in the near shore area, whereas atmospheric transport might be the significant source of hydrocarbons in the deep area.     

晚更新世末期中国北方陆架区冰缘现象的发现

末次冰期极盛期,海面下降,陆架裸露。寒流爆发南下,使亚洲东部平原区比世界同纬度地区的气温低。强寒流的侵袭,使海退后的陆架平原成为我国东部冰缘地貌的形成区之一。陆架上的冰缘地貌包括:大面积分布的沙地、成群出现的沙丘、零散分布的塌陷沉积、类似揉皱现象的波状夹层、频频出现的冰楔等。
