全球三大洋底高原重力异常与地壳厚度特征及对比研究*

翁通爪哇高原、凯尔盖朗高原与沙茨基海隆是全球三大洋底高原, 是大量岩浆喷发到地表的结果, 火山面积分别达1.90×10⁶、1.25×10⁶、0.53×10⁶km²。本文详细分析了该三大洋底高原的地形、剩余地幔布格重力异常(residual mantle Bouguer anomaly, RMBA)与重力反演的相对地壳厚度, 并结合地质与地球化学特征约束进行对比研究。结果显示, 翁通爪哇高原、凯尔盖朗高原与沙茨基海隆分别高出周围海底约4.3、5、4km, 相应的地幔布格重力异常最大变化值分别为250、330、200mGal, 以及相应的相对地壳厚度变化分别为11、13、9km, 表明形成三大洋底高原的岩浆量远远大于正常洋中脊的岩浆量。此外, 三大洋底高原皆形成于洋中脊附近。Nd、Pb、Hf同位素比值分析表明, 翁通爪哇高原的玄武岩组分为洋岛玄武岩; 凯尔盖朗高原大部分类似于洋岛玄武岩, 并含有洋中脊玄武岩组分; 沙茨基海隆的玄武岩组分主要为东太平洋海隆正常洋中脊玄武岩, 却又存在少量位于全球洋岛玄武岩范围内。这些特征揭示了三大洋底高原可能形成于“地幔柱-洋中脊相互作用”。对此本文提出了两种模式: 一为洋中脊被地幔柱拖拽至其上方; 二为洋中脊之下的软流圈受到地幔柱影响, 从而产生超常熔融与超厚地壳。

本文以新疆克里雅河为重点研究,分析了塔里木盆地的环境变迁及其与人类文明兴衰的相关关系,并展示了未来的环境变化。盆地和沙漠的形成与青藏高原的隆起息息相关,第四纪的三次冰期和间冰期的发生,决定了高原和盆地环境变化的序列。其中,中更新世的高原隆升对现代地貌和环境有决定性意义,使沙漠和黄土形成,气候环境总体向旱化方向发展;全新世以来的环境变化或划分出早、中,晚三个不同的干湿期变化。历史时期,人类活动所引起的环境变化与塔里木盆地古丝绸南路文明兴衰紧密相连;近代人类正面临沙漠化扩展,气候变暖的严重挑战。     

时间域相邻道地震波衰减成像研究

在时间域中,利用地震记录中的振幅与上升时间信息可以计算出岩石介质的品质因子Q值.由于震源能量难以测量,本文通过共炮点道集相邻道循环对比的方法,消除了震源对计算过程的影响,推导出时间域相邻道振幅与上升时间衰减成像的计算公式,并在振幅衰减成像的计算过程中,去除了非粘滞性衰减成分.为了更全面地综合利用波形信息,并充分利用各种方法的长处,将波速成像、振幅衰减成像、上升时间衰减成像集成到一个处理流程中,通过在岩体结构研究中的实际应用,证明这种综合方法具有灵活、实用、可靠的特点.     

塔里木盆地阿克库勒凸起油气输导体系类型与演化

阿克库勒凸起受多期构造叠加影响,具有长期生烃、多期供烃的烃源特征,油气输导体系复杂。在分析输导路径、输导能力及作用的基础上,将输导系统分成断裂型、不整合型、输导层型及复合型4类。利用地震和钻井资料恢复古构造格局,分析输导体系的演化及配置关系,认识油气运移的动态过程,指出区域性深大断裂是油气垂向运移的主要通道,而输导层和不整合面(中-下奥陶统顶面、奥陶系顶面和志留系顶面)的叠置是油气侧向运移的关键因素,并且油气成藏关键时刻输导体顶面的几何形态,尤其是古构造脊线的展布特征,决定了油气优势运移的方向和路径。由断层—不整合面—岩溶网络组成的"层—面—网"复式输导系统相互匹配,沿构造脊线呈立体网状阶梯式运移是研究区油气输导体系最鲜明的特点。     

沙茨基海隆(ShatskyRise)白垩纪玄武岩的地球化学特征及其地幔柱-洋中脊相互作用过程

沙茨基海隆(Shatsky Rise)是白垩纪早期形成的西北太平洋大火成岩省, 其成因和演化过程目前仍存在较大争议。本次研究对沙茨基海隆白垩纪玄武岩进行了全岩主量、微量元素、Sr-Nd-Pb同位素的分析。沙茨基海隆玄武岩主要属于拉斑玄武岩, 具有较亏损的大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素以及较富集的重稀土元素的特征, 没有明显的Eu异常(δEu=0.99~1.29), 与正常洋中脊玄武岩(N-MORB)的微量元素配分模式较为相似。然而该系列玄武岩却具有相对较富集的初始⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr(0.702986~0.703991)和¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd(0.513034~0.513194)同位素比值、较富集的²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb(15.439~15.508)和²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb(37.853~38.488)同位素比值, 与富集的洋岛玄武岩(OIB)和岛弧火山岩的同位素成分较为相似, 且源区混入高U/Pb比值(HIMU型)的富集地幔成分。稀土元素部分熔融模拟反演表明沙茨基海隆火山岩的原始岩浆可能起源于尖晶石相二辉橄榄岩源区, 且具有较高程度的部分熔融作用(>10%)。在以上研究基础上, 本文提出地幔柱-洋中脊相互作用模型来解释沙茨基海隆拉斑玄武岩较亏损的不相容元素成分和较富集的同位素成分这一特殊地球化学特征。由于来自扩张洋中脊的强大拉张应力的影响, 地幔柱岩浆物质将流向洋中脊并发生减压部分熔融, 导致不相容元素的高度亏损, 但由于放射成因元素(Sm、Rb和U)的半衰期相对较长, 同位素成分则难以在较短时间内被改变, 因此本文推测沙茨基海隆同位素富集的N-MORB拉斑玄武岩可能是地幔柱-洋中脊相互作用的产物。

     

Correlations Between Biogenic Components and Dust Input and Their Change Mechanism on Hess Rise,Central North Pacific,During the Late Quaternary*

The study of marine export production is helpful to trace the changes of oceanic and global carbon reservoirs. Dust input is an important factor inspiring marine export production. Measurements of carbonate, Opal, TOC and C_org/N were performed on Core SO202-37-2, which was retrieved from Hess Rise, central North Pacific during the German SO202-INOPEX Expedition, for reconstructing variations of the local export production and dust input. The core age model is constructed via morphologically correlating its foraminifer oxygen isotope record with those of Core H3571 and the LR04 stack. XRF-Ti/Ca can be used as a proxy for dust input and its distribution pattern is consistent with that of Opal content, possibly indicating that dust input may have affected the local export production, i.e. the local export production increased (decreased) with enhancing (declining) dust input during interglacial (glacial) periods. Fluctuations in dust input might be due to southward/northward migration of the Westerly Jet over the dust source regions during interglacial and glacial periods. Although global dust output increased during glacial periods, meridional migration of the Westerly Jet in this area made the distribution pattern of the dust deposition in the study area different from that of other areas.     

An early Paleogene sponge fauna,Chatham Island,New Zealand

A late Paleocene‐early Eocene (c. 60–53 Ma) poriferan fauna, comprising hexactinellids (Class Hexactinellida), astrophorids (Class Demospongiae: Family Astrophorida), and lithistids ("lithistid” Demospongiae) has been identified from the Tutuiri Greensand outcropping on the north coast of Chatham Island, New Zealand. Most of the fossils are hexactinellids, comprising extremely delicate siliceous networks embedded in friable sandstone. The sediment matrix within and around these skeletons contains numerous siliceous demosponge spicules, many of which are exceptionally well preserved. The soft friable matrix of the Tutuiri Greensand has made extraction a relatively simple process, making taxonomic identification of the material, and comparison with adjacent Recent and other New Zealand Eocene faunas possible. These sponge body fossils and spicule microfossils indicate a fauna that was once dominated by hexactinellids, lithistid, and astrophorid demosponges. A qualitative comparison of the abundance and diversity of the Tutuiri Greensand sponge fauna with the present‐day Chatham Rise sponge fauna indicates that the late Paleocene‐early Eocene fauna is as diverse as the Recent fauna, for the hexactinellid sponges and astrophorid demosponges, and much more diverse for lithistid sponges. The paleoecology of the Tutuiri Greensand has been interpreted as inner to mid shelf water depths (50–250 m) but the poriferan fauna described here is more like that of the present‐day soft sediment benthic environment of the Chatham Rise at 800–1200 m.     

Diet and dietary variation of New Zealand hoki Macruronus novaezelandiae

The diet of hoki was determined from examination of stomach contents of 1992 fish of 26–112 cm total length (TL) sampled at depths of 209–904m on Chatham Rise, New Zealand, from summer research trawl surveys and seasonal commercial fishing trawls, during 2004–2008. Prey was predominantly euphausiids, mesopelagic fishes and natant decapods. Multivariate analyses using distance-based linear models, non-parametric multi-dimensional scaling and similarity percentages indicated that the best predictors of diet variability were the position of the fish in relation to the subtropical front (STF), fish size and longitude. Pasiphaeids were more important to the north of the STF, and sternoptychid fishes and euphausiids more important in the STF convergence area. Euphausiids and sternoptychid fishes were important for smaller hoki (26–55 cm TL), myctophid fishes and natant decapods for larger hoki, and macrourids for the largest hoki (>84 cm TL). The longitudinal effect was characterised by pasiphaeids, euphausiids and sternoptychids to the west, and myctophids in the centre of Chatham Rise. Feeding activity was analysed using generalised additive models, and was found to vary with time of day, sample source (research or commercial), longitude, hoki size and depth. The variability in diet suggested hoki forage opportunistically within their preferred habitat and biological limits.
