内蒙古东乌珠穆沁旗晚奥陶世辉长岩地球化学特征及其地质意义

内蒙古东乌珠穆沁旗朝不楞以西及巴润布尔嘎斯台地区出露一套辉长岩。LA-MC-ICPMS锆石U-Pb测年结果显示该辉长岩体侵位于450～461Ma,属于晚奥陶世。样品的Si O_2、K_2O、TiO、MgO含量低,σ=0.10～2.77,总体属低钾拉斑玄武质系列。随着Mg O含量的增加,主要氧化物如Si O_2、CaO、Fe_2O_3含量呈上升趋势,Al2O3、Na2O呈下降趋势。根据稀土和微量元素特征,可将辉长岩分为三类。第一类REE含量最高,具有微弱的Eu正异常,(La/Yb)_N=19.99～20.3,稀土配分曲线明显右倾,富集LILE(Rb、Sr、Ba),相对亏损Nb、Ta。第二类REE含量减少,具有明显的Eu负异常,(La/Yb)_N=4.88～9.68。第三类REE含量最低,具有明显的Eu负异常,(La/Yb)_N=1.33～2.03。后两类辉长岩均亏损Nb、Sr、Ba,富集Rb、Th、U、Zr、Hf,稀土配分曲线弱右倾,岩石形成过程中可能受到陆壳物质混染。三类辉长岩整体兼具MORB型及岛弧玄武岩特征,可能是晚奥陶世古亚洲洋向北俯冲过程中弧后盆地的产物。     

气流输送对北京大气污染物体积分数的影响

利用HYSPLIT后向轨迹模式和2004年8月—2007年12月NCEP再分析气象资料,计算每天15:00抵达北京地区10、100和500m高度上的后向气流轨迹.对整个研究时段、采暖季和非采暖季期间的后向气流轨迹分别进行聚类分析,得到这3个时段到达北京地区的主要后向气流轨迹聚类.其中整个研究时段的后向气流轨迹分成3个聚类,采暖季和非采暖季的后向气流轨迹都分成5个聚类.结合各段时间中国科学院大气物理研究所观测的大气污染物体积分数资料,分析不同时段气流输送作用对北京主要大气污染物体积分数的影响.发现采暖季和非采暖季北京气体污染物体积分数高值主要集中在来自风速较小的西北方气流聚类.采暖季污染物体积分数低值主要出现在偏北方向风速较大的后向气流轨迹聚类.非采暖季污染物体积分数低值主要出现在偏北低速气流聚类和西北向高速气流轨迹聚类中.从各时段污染物最值分布情况可以看出:在风速较大的后向气流轨迹聚类影响下,北京的污染物体积分数较低;途经了较严重工业排放地带的后向气流轨迹聚类会使北京气体污染物体积分数显著增高.此外,虽然非采暖季的大气污染物分布与气流输送的影响基本符合,但各聚类污染物分布结果与气流输送作用的影响存在偏差.     

气象因素对大气降水中有机酸浓度的影响

低分子有机酸是对流层大气的重要组成成分,采用离子色谱法测定了贵阳市大气降水中的有机酸浓度.结果表明,气象因素是影响贵阳市大气降水中有机酸浓度的重要因素.其中,降雨系统对雨水中有机酸浓度的影响显著.大气有机酸主要是在降雨初期进入降水并被清除的,降雨初期对大气有机酸的清除量占总清除量的50%-70%.随着降雨的进行,雨水中的有机酸浓度逐渐降低,降雨后期略有升高,大降雨量对雨水中有机酸浓度起稀释的作用.雷雨和台风雨中有机酸浓度明显偏低,降雪中有机酸浓度也远远低于雨水中有机酸浓度,暗示贵阳市雨水中有机酸主要是在云下过程进入降水的.天气因素是通过影响大气中有机酸浓度进而影响雨水中有机酸浓度的,如气温对雨水中有机酸浓度的影响远没有降雨量明显.不同来源气团雨水中有机酸浓度明显不同,其中以北面方向气团降水中有机酸浓度最高,与我国内陆大气污染较重有关,而源于海洋方向的东南气团雨水中有机酸浓度最低.

Iranshahr blueschist: subduction of the inner Makran oceanic crust

The Makran accretionary prism in SE Iran and SW Pakistan is one of the most extensive subduction accretions on Earth. It is characterized by intense folding, thrust faulting and dislocation of the Cenozoic units that consist of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. Rock units forming the northern Makran ophiolites are amalgamated as a mélange. Metamorphic rocks, including greenschist, amphibolite and blueschist, resulted from metamorphism of mafic rocks and serpentinites. In spite of the geodynamic significance of blueschist in this area, it has been rarely studied. Peak metamorphic phases of the northern Makran mafic blueschist in the Iranshahr area are glaucophane, phengite, quartz±omphacite+epidote. Post peak minerals are chlorite, albite and calcic amphibole. Blueschist facies metasedimentary rocks contain garnet, phengite, albite and epidote in the matrix and as inclusions in glaucophane. The calculated P–T pseudosection for a representative metabasic glaucophane schist yields peak pressure and temperature of 11.5–15 kbar at 400–510 °C. These rocks experienced retrograde metamorphism from blueschist to greenschist facies (350–450 °C and 7–8 kbar) during exhumation. A back arc basin was formed due to northward subduction of Neotethys under Eurasia (Lut block). Exhumation of the high‐pressure metamorphic rocks in northern Makran occurred contemporarily with subduction. Several reverse faults played an important role in exhumation of the ophiolitic and HP‐LT rocks. The presence of serpentinite shows the possible role of a serpentinite diapir for exhumation of the blueschist. A tectonic model is proposed here for metamorphism and exhumation of oceanic crust and accretionary sedimentary rocks of the Makran area. Vast accretion of subducted materials caused southward migration of the shore.     

Comparative study of the effects of three data-interpretation methodologies on the performance of geotechnical back analysis

Back analysis can provide engineers with important information for better decision-making. Over the years, research on back analysis has focused mainly on optimisation techniques, while comparative studies of data-interpretation methodologies have seldom been reported. This paper examines the use of three data-interpretation methodologies on the performance of geotechnical back analysis. In general, there are two types of approaches for interpreting model predictions using field measurements, deterministic versus population-based, both of which are considered in this study. The methodologies that are compared are (a) error-domain model falsification (EDMF), (b) Bayesian model updating and (c) residual minimisation. Back analyses of an excavation case history in Singapore using the three methodologies indicate that each has strengths and limitations. Residual minimisation, though easy to implement, shows limited capabilities of interpreting measurement data with large uncertainty errors. EDMF provides robustness against incomplete information of the correlation structure. This is achieved at the expense of precision, as EDMF yields wider confidence intervals of the identified parameter values and predicted quantities compared with Bayesian model updating. In this regard, a modified EDMF implementation is proposed, which can improve upon the limitations of the traditional EDMF method, thus enhancing the quality of the identification outcomes.     

Stable isotopes of atmospheric water vapour and precipitation in the northeast Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Stable water isotopes (δ¹⁸O and δ²H) are an important source signature for understanding the hydrological cycle and altered climate regimes. However, the mechanisms underlying atmospheric water vapour isotopes in the northeast Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau of central Asia remain poorly understood. This study initially investigated water vapour isotopic composition and its controls during the premonsoon and monsoon seasons. Isotopic compositions of water vapour and precipitation exhibited high variability across seasons, with the most negative average δ¹⁸O values of precipitation and the most positive δ¹⁸O values of water vapour found during the premonsoon periods. Temperature effect was significant during the premonsoon period but not the monsoon period. Both a higher slope and intercept of the local meteoric water line were found during the monsoon period as compared with in the premonsoon period, suggesting that raindrops have been experienced a greater kinetic fractionation process such as reevaporation below the cloud during the premonsoon periods. The δ²H and δ¹⁸O signatures in atmospheric water vapour tended to be depleted with the occurrence of precipitation events especially during the monsoon period and probably as a result of rainout processes. The monthly average contribution of evaporation from the lake to local precipitation was 35.2%. High d‐excess values of water vapour were influenced by the high proportion of local moisture mixing, as indicated by the gradually increasing relative humidity along westerly and Asian monsoon trajectories. The daily observation (observed ε) showed deviations from the equilibrium fractionation factors (calculated ε), implying that raindrops experienced substantial evaporative enrichment during their descent. The average fraction of raindrops reevaporation was estimated to be 16.4± 12.9%. These findings provide useful insights for understanding the interaction between water vapour and precipitation, moisture sources, and help in reconstructing the paleoclimate in the alpine regions.     

Grain boundary plane populations in minerals: the example of wet NaCl after low strain deformation

Many physical properties of rocks are sensitive to grain size and hence to the structure of grain boundaries. Depending on their properties, such as deformation and transport behaviour, boundaries may be divided into two broad types, namely special and general grain boundaries. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) is used to investigate the misorientation distributions of grain boundaries and, more recently, to determine the population of grain boundary planes. Studies on metals and ceramics suggest that the grain boundary plane, rather than the misorientation, is the key parameter when defining special and general grain boundaries. In this study, the distribution of grain boundary plane orientations has been successfully determined using EBSD for a slightly deformed, synthetic NaCl material containing 22 ppm water. Boundaries showed a preference for {100} planes, which occurred with twice the frequency of a random distribution. The grain boundary plane distributions found in NaCl were largely in agreement with studies on MgO. Grain boundaries, with a coincident site lattice (CSL) misorientation, also showed a preference for {100} planes, rather than the planes of high coincident density associated with the CSL. Three main types of boundary were identified, namely {100} twist boundaries, boundaries with {100}{hkl} planes and general {hkl}{hkl} boundaries. As the properties of these three types of boundary differ, then the transport and creep properties in wet NaCl will depend on the fraction of the different boundary types found in the grain boundary population.     

Optimization framework for calibration of constitutive models enhanced by neural networks

A two‐level procedure designed for the estimation of constitutive model parameters is presented in this paper. The neural network (NN) approach at the first level is applied to achieve the first approximation of parameters. This technique is used to avoid potential pitfalls related to the conventional gradient‐based optimization techniques, considered here as a corrector that improves predicted parameters. The feed‐forward NN (FFNN) and the modified Gauss–Newton algorithms are briefly presented. The proposed framework is verified for the elasto‐plastic modified Cam Clay model that can be calibrated based on standard triaxial laboratory tests, i.e. the isotropic consolidation test and the drained compression test. Two different formulations of the input data to the NN, enhanced by a dimensional reduction of experimental data using principal component analysis, are presented. The determination of model characteristics is demonstrated, first on numerical pseudo‐experiments and then on the experimental data. The efficiency of the proposed approach by means of accuracy and computational effort is also discussed. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
