Coastal processes and cliff recession between Gabicce and Pesaro (northern Adriatic Sea): a case history

Cliff recession on the high rocky coast between Gabicce and Pesaro Adriatic sea causes a wide range of mass movement processes on the whole slope, affecting both the bedrock and the overburden. The outcropping late Miocene rock formations are represented by marls, marly limestones, dark laminated mudstones and bedded sandstones and marls. Mass movements are common because of stratification and discontinuities in the rocks that, together with the presence of groundwater and weathering processes, reduce the overall strength of the slopes. A model for the evolution of this coastal area is proposed, which involves cyclic basal erosion, followed by mass movement that favours debris accumulation at the base of the cliff. The longshore currents have to then remove the material before a new cycle can begin.     

Landscape change and sandy desertification in arid areas: a case study in the Zhangye Region of Gansu Province, China

The Zhangye Region of Gansu Province is an important agricultural base in arid northwestern China. During the twentieth century, especially in the last five decades, the region has experienced sandy desertification. To document the status and causes of this deterioration, satellite images, meteorological and socioeconomic data to assess landscape change from 1993 to 2002 were interpreted and analyzed. The results show that during the intervening 9-year period the area of sandy lands has increased by 642.2 km², which consist of aeolian sand dune (357.1 km²) and potential sandy land (216.3 km²). Although the development and reversion of sandy desertification co-exist, the sandy desertification in this area seems serious and is attributable to the irrational use of water and land.

1901—2018年三江源地区大气冻融指数变化特征

三江源地区是我国重要生态安全屏障,冻土是其高寒生态系统的重要组成部分,冻土的变化深刻影响高寒生态系统固碳及水源涵养。基于英国东英吉利大学（University of East Anglia,UEA）气候研究中心（Climatic Research Unit,CRU）月平均气温再分析资料,利用线性倾向法和滑动平均法并结合GIS空间分析和制图,计算并分析了三江源地区1901—2018年冻融指数变化趋势及其空间分布特征。结果表明：三江源地区冻结指数在1901—2018年整体以-1.1 ℃·d·a^-1的斜率呈波动减少趋势,经历了三个波动变化阶段：1901—1943年的下降（-3.4 ℃·d·a^-1）、1943—1966年的升高（8.8 ℃·d·a^-1）、1966—2018年的再次下降（-4.3 ℃·d·a^-1）。融化指数与冻结指数的变化相反,整体以0.34 ℃·d·a^-1的斜率呈波动上升趋势,呈现升高（1901—1943年,3.3 ℃·d·a^-1）、下降（1943—1981年,-3.1 ℃·d·a^-1）、再次升高（1981—2018年,2.9 ℃·d·a^-1）的趋势。在空间分布上,自西向东随海拔和多年冻土连续性降低,冻结指数由3 400 ℃·d递减到600 ℃·d,融化指数由接近0 ℃·d增加到1 800 ℃·d。长江源区冻结指数最大,融化指数最小;黄河源区冻结指数最小,融化指数最大。研究成果可为三江源地区冻土变化及其对高寒生态环境的影响研究提供科学借鉴。     

永定河中下游MIS7以来地层沉积演化及新石器时代以来气候变化

利用廊坊东A27钻孔岩心资料,样品微体生物、孢粉特征综合分析,结合AMS14C测年,对永定河中下游地区MIS7以来的地层进行分析,建立了MIS7以来的沉积地层格架,并对其进行了年代厘定,讨论了该地区大约MIS7阶段以来氧同位素分期气候下的地层及环境效应。结果表明,永定河中下游地区晚第四纪可划分为U1～U8共8个沉积单元,分别对应于MIS1～MIS7以及MIS8晚期的沉积地层,与海洋氧同位素分期有很好的对应关系。U1单元为MIS1形成的湖沼—河谷—泛滥平原沉积,U2单元为MIS2形成硬质黏土(第1硬土层)—下切河谷—湖沼沉积,U3单元为MIS3形成的湖沼—河谷—泛滥平原沉积,U4单元为MIS4形成的河间地块沉积(第2硬土层,暴露失水沉积),U5单元为MIS5形成的湖沼夹分支河道沉积,U6单元为MIS6形成的下切河谷夹短暂湖沼沉积,U7单元为MIS7形成的以湖沼为主沉积,U8单元为MIS8晚期形成的泛滥平原沉积,重塑了MIS7以来沉积环境模式,建立了本区晚第四纪精细年代地层框架。笔者认为永定河中下游在新石器时期以河湖共存为主,在其晚期为湖沼发育达到顶峰,出现泥炭层,直至商周时期后在气候变化影响下湖沼消退转变为泛滥平原面貌,为区域古地理环境及生态修复提供重要参考依据。     

The strain‐dependent spatial evolution of garnet in a high‐P ductile shear zone from the Western Gneiss Region (Norway): a synchrotron X‐ray microtomography study

Reaction and deformation microfabrics provide key information to understand the thermodynamic and kinetic controls of tectono‐metamorphic processes, however, they are usually analysed in two dimensions, omitting important information regarding the third spatial dimension. We applied synchrotron‐based X‐ray microtomography to document the evolution of a pristine olivine gabbro into a deformed omphacite–garnet eclogite in four dimensions, where the 4^th dimension is represented by the degree of strain. In the investigated samples, which cover a strain gradient into a shear zone from the Western Gneiss Region (Norway), we focused on the spatial transformation of garnet coronas into elongated garnet clusters with increasing strain. The microtomographic data allowed quantification of garnet volume, shape and spatial arrangement evolution with increasing strain. The microtomographic observations were combined with light microscope and backscatter electron images as well as electron microprobe (EMPA) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis to correlate mineral composition and orientation data with the X‐ray absorption signal of the same mineral grains. With increasing deformation, the garnet volume almost triples. In the low‐strain domain, garnet grains form a well interconnected large garnet aggregate that develops throughout the entire sample. We also observed that garnet coronas in the gabbros never completely encapsulate olivine grains. In the most highly deformed eclogites, the oblate shapes of garnet clusters reflect a deformational origin of the microfabrics. We interpret the aligned garnet aggregates to direct synkinematic fluid flow, and consequently influence the transport of dissolved chemical components. EBSD analyses reveal that garnet shows a near‐random crystal preferred orientation that testifies no evidence for crystal plasticity. There is, however evidence for minor fracturing, neo‐nucleation and overgrowth. Microprobe chemical analysis revealed that garnet compositions progressively equilibrate to eclogite facies, becoming more almandine‐rich. We interpret these observations as pointing to a mechanical disintegration of the garnet coronas during strain localization, and their rearrangement into individual garnet clusters through a combination of garnet coalescence and overgrowth while the rock was deforming.
