Salinity on the southeastern Dundas Tableland,Victoria

Historical evidence of early salinity, vegetation and landuse changes, and pedological studies have been used in formulating a new model for salinity processes acting on the Dundas Tableland in southwestern Victoria. Contrary to previous assumptions, salinity in this area was a feature of the pre‐European landscape and was noted in the earliest surveys and journals. Analysis of historical records show an initial post‐settlement increase in the tree numbers, followed by a rapid decline much later than previously assumed. Accumulation of salts in the regolith may be attributed to marine incursions during the Miocene and Pliocene, the extensive weathering to develop a deep regolith, and wind‐blown and cyclic salt accumulation. A trend analysis of historical streamflow and bore hydrograph records does not indicate rising groundwater levels. The pedological features of duplex and sodic soil profiles support a history of prolonged seasonal waterlogging. A model with seasonal lateral flow of water through the upper regolith can better account for the spread of salinity than the rising groundwater hypothesis. By control of waterlogging, land managers could improve soil structure, enhance root growth and soil water use, as well as inhibit the spread of salinity.     

四川盆地及其周缘下古生界页岩气保存条件研究

页岩气的勘探表明,页岩含气已成为一个不争的事实,但是含气的规模以及是否具有工业价值需要进一步研究。与美国相比,中国页岩气具有独特的地质条件,页岩气保存条件可能是中国南方下古生界页岩气勘探研究的重点。文中以四川盆地及其周缘下古生界下寒武统和上奥陶统-下志留统页岩层系为研究对象,从物质基础、构造作用和演化历史、地层水条件、盖层及其微观性质、天然气组分和压力系数等几个方面对页岩气的保存条件进行研究,并综合分析各种指标,提出页岩气保存条件综合评价指标体系,以期对四川盆地及其周缘下古生界页岩气勘探提供更进一步的参考资料。     

Hydraulic subsurface measurements and hydrodynamic modelling as indicators for groundwater flow systems in the Rotondo granite,Central Alps (Switzerland)

Regional groundwater flow in high mountainous terrain is governed by a multitude of factors such as geology, topography, recharge conditions, structural elements such as fracturation and regional fault zones as well as man‐made underground structures. By means of a numerical groundwater flow model, we consider the impact of deep underground tunnels and of an idealized major fault zone on the groundwater flow systems within the fractured Rotondo granite. The position of the free groundwater table as response to the above subsurface structures and, in particular, with regard to the influence of spatial distributed groundwater recharge rates is addressed. The model results show significant unsaturated zones below the mountain ridges in the study area with a thickness of up to several hundred metres. The subsurface galleries are shown to have a strong effect on the head distribution in the model domain, causing locally a reversal of natural head gradients. With respect to the position of the catchment areas to the tunnel and the corresponding type of recharge source for the tunnel inflows (i.e. glaciers or recent precipitation), as well as water table elevation, the influence of spatial distributed recharge rates is compared to uniform recharge rates. Water table elevations below the well exposed high‐relief mountain ridges are observed to be more sensitive to changes in groundwater recharge rates and permeability than below ridges with less topographic relief. In the conceptual framework of the numerical simulations, the model fault zone has less influence on the groundwater table position, but more importantly acts as fast flow path for recharge from glaciated areas towards the subsurface galleries. This is in agreement with a previous study, where the imprint of glacial recharge was observed in the environmental isotope composition of groundwater sampled in the subsurface galleries.

鲁中山区中生代构造活动对现今岩溶地下水赋存规律的控制作用

为了掌握中生代构造运动以来鲁中山区岩溶地下水富集规律,以莱芜盆地为例,通过水文地质调查及数据统计分析、钻探施工、地质露头观测、碳酸盐岩可溶组分分析等方法,对中生代构造活动特征、岩浆活动特征,及其对岩溶地下水赋存规律的控制作用进行研究。结果表明：鲁中山区具有典型盆-山结构水文地质特征,盆地南北两侧水文地质特征不尽相同;区域滑脱构造形成的层间虚脱、空隙、碎裂岩带,使得鲁中山区下寒武统朱砂洞组含水层表现为"似层状"特征;热液混合岩溶作用形成的溶蚀裂隙、洞穴可成为岩溶地下水良好的赋存空间;由中生代滑脱构造及热液岩溶活动形成的岩溶介质环境受同期或后期层间溶蚀裂隙及断层沟通,形成立体的岩溶地下水网络。岩溶地下水沿该网络径流、富集,形成鲁中山区特有的岩溶地下水赋存特征。     

地电场水文地质因素及裂隙水 主体渗流方向逐日计算

2007年西昌和天祝地电场观测台阵建立, 随后两年西昌台阵地电场的TGF-A波形明显, 天祝台阵则以TGF-B波形出现. 台阵内各台站间地电场相关性高, 这受地电场潮汐机理的支持; 不同台站或同一台站的不同方向地电场潮汐波峰谷值差异明显, 地电场潮汐机理和场地水文地质资料表明, 这主要与岩石、 裂隙度、 裂隙优势走向、 含水度、 透水率、 水矿化度和裂隙水压力差等因素相关. 潮汐电信号形成于裂隙水或水中电荷周期性移动, 电荷被岩壁吸附或脱离产生噪声, 该信噪比在同一台阵内基本相同, 信噪比值与潮汐电信号产生过程和场地电磁背景关系密切. 应用地电场潮汐谐波振幅计算裂隙水主体渗流方向, 结果与应用潮汐波峰谷值法基本一致, 这消除了峰谷值法取值的偶然误差. 2008年汶川M_S8.0地震前, 两台阵内都存在场地裂隙水主体渗流方向的短临变异现象, 西昌台阵这种变异更明显.
