A late Holocene winter monsoon record inferred from the palaeo-aeolian sand dune in the southeastern Mu Us Desert, northern China

The variation of the Asian winter monsoonal strength has seriously affected the climate and environmental conditions in the Asian monsoonal region, and even in marginal islands and the ocean in the East Asian region. However, relevant understanding remains unclear due to the lack of suitable geological materials and effective proxies in the key study areas. Here, we present a grain-size record derived from the palaeo-aeolian sand dune in the southeastern Mu Us Desert, together with other proxies and OSL dating, which reflect a relatively detailed history of the winter monsoon and abrupt environmental events during the past 4.2 ka. Our grain-size standard deviation model indicated that >224 μm content can be considered as an indicator of the intensity of Asian winter monsoon, and it shows declined around 4.2-2.1 ka, enhanced but unstable in 2.1-0.9 ka, and obviously stronger since then. In addition, several typical climate events were also documented, forced by the periodic variation of winter monsoonal intensity. These include the cold intervals of 4.2, 2.8, 1.4 ka, and the Little Ice Age (LIA), and relatively warm sub-phases around 3.0, 2.1, 1.8 ka, and the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), which were roughly accordant with the records of the aeolian materials, peat, stalagmites, ice cores, and sea sediments in various latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. Combined with the previous progresses of the Asian summer monsoon, we preliminarily confirmed a millennial-scale anti-correlation of Asian winter and summer monsoons in the Late Holocene epoch. This study suggests that the evolution of the palaeo-aeolian sand dune has the potential for comprehending the history of Asian monsoon across the desert regions of the modern Asian monsoonal margin in northern China.     

山东黄金西岭勘查区深部勘探孔防斜与纠斜措施

西岭勘查区金矿找矿工作已全面进入勘探阶段,勘查区网度为80 m×80 m,对于钻孔质量要求十分严格：终孔靶点偏差不超过勘探网度的四分之一,即不超过20 m。对于西岭勘查区设计孔深均超过1500 m（部分钻孔设计甚至超过2500 m）的钻孔而言,这种要求远远超过地质岩心钻探规程要求。山东黄金地勘公司根据多年深孔施工经验,在防斜与纠斜方面均取得了一些突破,自主研发了钻具扶正器、独创了钻孔纠斜法,形成了一套实用的钻孔质量保证措施。

随钻测斜技术现状与发展趋势

在桩基领域,随着基础设施建筑对桩基础承载能力和桩孔垂直度的质量控制要求越来越高,现有常规桩基成孔监测技术已不能满足要求;在钻探领域,随着深井、超深井、科学钻探井及水平井的成井要求越来越高,由于地层因素、工艺技术等导致的实际钻孔轨迹偏离设计轨迹的井斜问题愈发突出,井斜的监控变得越来越严格,现有仪器已不能很好地满足钻孔轨迹测量的高精度要求。针对上述问题,本文梳理了随钻测斜技术发展现状,并结合地质岩心钻探、旋挖桩孔施工工艺特点,提出实现绳索取心钻探钻孔轨迹和大直径长钻孔灌注桩孔垂直度高精度实时监测的方案,这一思路的推广将对指导施工操作、保证钻孔/桩孔的整体质量产生积极影响。     

Effect of the Dry Ashing Method on Cadmium Isotope Measurements in Soil and Plant Samples

A dry ashing method is commonly used to remove organic material from samples prior to geochemical analysis. In the course of this study, the Cd isotope ratios of a series of soil and plant reference materials and samples were studied to evaluate the effect of the dry ashing method on measurement results of Cd isotope ratios. The samples were pre‐treated using the dry ashing method and high‐pressure bomb for comparison. The results show that the digestion using high‐pressure bombs did not lead to Cd loss, but using the dry ashing method would cause different proportions of Cd loss. The whole range of Cd isotope difference between two methods was from ?0.07‰ to 3.01‰. There was also an obvious difference in measured Cd isotope ratios from the same leaf sample pre‐treated independently by the dry ashing method, indicating that the amount of Cd loss and the effect on Cd isotope measurement during dry ashing is related to the properties of the samples. Therefore, dry ashing may not be appropriate for the removal of organic material in Cd isotope ratio measurement, especially for samples with high organic contents. The δ^114/110Cd values of reference materials NIST SRM 1573a and GSD‐30 are reported for the first time in this study.

Tectonic Movement and Global Climate Change

Glaciation between northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere were synchronous, the ice age occurred not in high but in low value of the eccentricity of the earth's orbit. Such facts went against the precession principle of the astronomical theory of ice age. The inhomogeneous distribution of climate consisted with the inhomogeneous distribution of ocean and continent. The north/south antisymmetry may be attributed to southward deviation of the thermal center and northward deviation of the mass center within the mantle demonstrated by seismic tomography. The core - mantle angular momentum makes rotational energy into thermal energy and mantle plumes erupt in the ocean bottom. The earth's deformation by tidal force makes the eruption of mantle plumes strong. They are the reason that glaciation between the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere are synchronous and the ice age occurred in low value of the eccentricity of the earth' s orbit. The tectonic movement is playing a most important part in global climate change.
