Sedimentary evolution of a Late Pleistocene temperate red algal reef (Coralligène) on Rhodes,Greece: correlation with global sea‐level fluctuations

Autochthonous red algal structures known as coralligène de plateau occur in the modern warm‐temperate Mediterranean Sea at water depths from 20 to 120 m, but fossil counterparts are not so well‐known. This study describes, from an uplifted coastal section at Plimiri on the island of Rhodes, a 450 m long by 10 m thick Late Pleistocene red algal reef (Coralligène Facies), interpreted as being a coralligène de plateau, and its associated deposits. The Coralligène Facies, constructed mainly by Lithophyllum and Titanoderma, sits unconformably upon the Plio‐Pleistocene Rhodes Formation and is overlain by a Maerl Facies (2 m), a Mixed Siliciclastic‐Carbonate Facies (0·2 m) and an Aeolian Sand Facies (2·5 m). The three calcareous facies, of Heterozoan character, are correlated with established members in the Lindos Acropolis Formation in the north of the island, while the aeolian facies is assigned to the new Plimiri Aeolianite Formation. The palaeoenvironmental and genetic‐stratigraphic interpretations of these mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate temperate water deposits involved consideration of certain characteristics associated with siliciclastic shelf and tropical carbonate shelf models, such as vertical grain‐size trends and the stratigraphic position of zooxanthellate coral growths. Integration of these results with electron spin resonance dates of bivalve shells indicates that the Coralligène Facies was deposited during Marine Isotope Stage 6 to 5e transgressive event (ca 135 to 120 ka), in water depths of 20 to 50 m, and the overlying Maerl Facies was deposited during regression from Marine Isotope Stage 5e to 5d (ca 120 to 110 ka), at water depths of 25 to 40 m. The capping Aeolian Sand Facies, involving dual terrestrial subunits, is interpreted as having formed during each of the glacial intervals Marine Isotope Stages 4 (71 to 59 ka) and 2 (24 to 12 ka), with soil formation during the subsequent interglacial periods of Marine Isotope Stages 3 and 1, respectively. Accumulation rates of about 0·7 mm year^?1 are estimated for the Coralligène Facies and minimum accumulation rates of 0·2 mm year^?1 are estimated for the Maerl Facies. The existence of older red algal reefs in the Plimiri region during at least Marine Isotope Stages 7 (245 to 186 ka) and 9 (339 to 303 ka) is inferred from the occurrence of reworked coralligène‐type lithoclasts in the basal part of the section and from the electron spin resonance ages of transported bivalve shells.     

金沙江某库区东爷庙滑坡成因分析及稳定性评价

文章在对滑坡周界确定和滑坡体特征研究基础之上,从岩性条件、地质构造及地下水等方面详细分析了滑坡成因。该滑坡发生在侏罗系沙溪庙组(J2s)缓倾角红层中,地层岩性为河湖相紫红色泥质粉砂岩、泥岩和灰绿色粉砂岩互层,软硬相间,该套地层的岩性内在差异构成了滑坡产生的岩性条件。加上边坡呈顺向坡结构,顺坡向节理发育,坡角临空,岩体沿着软弱层发生滑移-拉裂破坏。通过对滑坡进行稳定性计算和分析,结果表明:该滑坡在天然状态、蓄水或地震等不利条件下,整体仍处于稳定状态,只是在相对较陡的滑坡体前缘和库水位附近地形较陡的局部部位,蓄水后可能会产生小规模失稳,但其方量不会太大,加上离坝址较远,所以不会危及工程安全。因此,通过对滑坡成因分析和稳定性评价,为工程建设和移民安置工作提供了重要的保证。     

邻近算法在一维大地电磁反演中的应用

总结了大地电磁法( MT)中常用的各种反演算法,并指出其局限性。对邻近算法( NA)加以概述,并将其引入MT反演中。对一维MT合成数据进行反演分析,得到的最大似然模型十分接近理论模型。虽然NA与遗传算法( GA)抗陷入局部极小值的能力大体相等,但NA算法生成的采样点分布密度与误差函数大体一致,因此NA更有利于应用基于积分的参数估值方法。本研究表明,NA收敛速度比GA更快。这说明在一维MT反演中,NA算法比GA算法更具优势。     

Evolution of the Extensional Rifted Yunnan-Guizhou-Guangxi Oceanic Basin During the Late Hercynian to Middle Indosinian Stage

On the basis of exhaustive researches on the facies sequences and depositlonal evolutionary process of various depositional systems, the genetic stratigraphic framework of the extensional rifted oceanic basin, which has undergone strong structural destruction, has been reconstructed by means of dynamic genetic stratigraphic analysis. Five depositional episodes have been distinguished from various isochronous stratigraphic boundaries and stratigraphic sequences with the three-dimensional structure of each depositional episode analysed in detail. The tectonic paleogeographic environment corresponding to different stages of each depositional episode has been reconstructed for individual depositional system tracts. And the evolution history of this rifted basin has been divided into four stages' initial rifting and oceanization of continental crust, stretching and spreading of the basin, subduction and basin differentiation, and convergence and collision.

CHANGES IN FAULT MOVEMENT PROPERTY AND GENETIC MECHANISM ON THE WESTERN SEGMENT OF THE XIANGSHAN-TIANJINGSHAN FAULT ZONE

The Xiangshan-Tianjingshan fault zone is an important part of the arc tectonic zone in northeastern Tibet, whose eastern segment is characterized by primarily left-lateral slip along with thrust component. In contrast, the fault movement property on the western segment of the Xiangshan-Tianjingshan fault zone is more complicated. According to the offset geomorphic features and cross sections revealed by the trenches and outcrops, the western segment is mainly a left-lateral strike-slip fault with normal component, and only accompanied with reverse component at specific positions. To determine the genetic mechanism of fault movement property on the western segment, we obtained three main factors based on the integrated analysis of fault geometry:(1)Step-overs:the left-stepping parallel faults in a sinistral shear zone create extensional step-overs and control the nearby and internal fault movement property; (2)terminal structures:they are conductive to stop rupture propagation and produce compressive deformation at the end of the fault trace; and(3)double bends:strike-slip faults have trace that bends such that slip between two adjacent blocks creates a compressive stress and thrust fault. Additionally, the Tianjingshan sub-block moves to SEE and creates an extensional stress at the end of the sub-block associated with normal faults. It shows that the Xiangshan-Tianjingshan fault zone has a complex evolution history, which is divided into two distinctive periods and characterized by laterally westward propagating.     

Coupling snow accumulation and melt rate modules of monthly water balance models with the Jazim monthly water balance model

Several models for simulation of water balance processes in semi-arid mountainous basins were developed by coupling different modules of existing water balance models (WBM). Snow accumulation and snowmelt rate relationships extracted from the McCabe-Markstrom, Guo, Rao-Al Wagdany and WASMOD-M WBMs, originally developed for basins with humid climate, were coupled with the Jazim WBM, primarily developed for arid basins. Karaj Basin, central Iran, with snowy autumn–winter and dry summer periods, was selected to assess model performance. The model parameters were optimized using a genetic algorithm (GA). All coupled models performed better than the non-modified (original) WBMs in the study basin. The coupled Jazim–McCabe-Markstrom model provided the best performance in simulating low and high monthly flows. It estimated the snowmelt runoff values more accurately than other proposed coupled models because the linear relationships used in the snow module of the McCabe-Markstrom model are more compatible with snow variations in the Karaj Basin.     

四川盆地熊坡背斜构造特征及其成因机制

基于地震剖面解释、数字高程模型、历史地震、测年数据及钻孔等资料,分析了四川盆地熊坡背斜的构造特征、运动学特征及其成因机制。结果显示：(1)熊坡背斜与蒲江-新津断裂空间展布上具有较强的一致性,表现出断层传播褶皱模型,变形显著,缩短量为7.2 km,缩短率约为30％;(2)熊坡背斜隆起于(1.0±0.2) MaB.P.之后,且中更新世早期及晚更新世曾发生过强烈活动,使背斜两侧第四系厚度产生明显差异;(3)蒲江-新津断裂现今地震活动明显且小震频繁,曾有Ms=5.0～5.9的地震历史记录;(4)来自龙门山与扬子克拉通的挤压应力以及断层-滑脱作用是形成熊坡背斜的主要应力机制。熊坡背斜并非均匀应力下连续变形的产物,而是由于断裂活动时发生快速抬升而形成的。

太行山南段铜矿成矿时代厘定及成矿意义

太行山南段井陉-内丘一带是河北省重要的铜矿远景区,区内成矿条件优越。已有研究资料多将该区铜矿类型、成矿条件等与山西中条山铜矿富集区进行类比。由于缺少对铜的成矿时代的精确限定,致使无法对区内铜矿床的形成过程及成因进行较为准确的分析,制约着区域铜矿成因类型对比及找矿勘查工作部署。本文以区内桃园铜矿床及酸枣坪、虎寨口、鹿峪和方垴等四个铜矿化点为研究对象,采用Rb-Sr法测试分析了上述铜矿床及矿化点的矿石硫化物。测试结果显示,桃园铜矿不同硫化物对Rb-Sr等时线年龄在1829.6~1840Ma之间,酸枣坪铜矿点的形成时代为1830.7±5.2Ma,虎寨口铜矿点的形成时代为1844.3±5.9Ma。上述三个铜矿床(点)矿石硫化物Rb-Sr等时线年龄测试结果表明,在古元古代晚期区内有一次较为强烈的铜矿成矿作用,成矿时限在1830~1844Ma之间。而方垴和鹿峪两个铜矿化点矿石硫化物测年结果与上述三个铜矿床(点)形成时间有较大差异,Rb-Sr等时线测年结果分别为1402±23Ma和1376±37Ma,说明在中元古代长城纪末期区内仍有一次铜矿化作用发生。结合华北地台构造演化过程,太行山南段古元古代晚期第一次铜矿化与山西中条山胡-篦型铜矿形成时代接近,铜矿床的形成与吕梁运动关系密切。由于太行山南段铜矿(点)分布区地处陆内构造环境的晋豫裂陷带,而山西中条山铜矿富集区处于秦岭-大别活动带的北缘的"秦岭古洋"壳向华北地台俯冲环境,构造环境差异可能导致两区在铜矿形成潜力及规模上存在一定差异。与区内第一次铜矿化作用相比,发生在中元古代长城纪末期的第二期铜矿化在成矿规模及强度上均较弱,其成矿动力学机制有待进一步分析确定。
