A high-resolution diatom reconstruction between 21,000 and 17,4000 14C yr BP from the southern Bolivian Altiplano (18–23°S)

A diatom study of lacustrine sediments in the southern part of the Bolivian Altiplano (Salar of Coipasa) provides a continuous record of the period 21,000–17,500 ¹⁴C yr BP. Constrained by seven AMS ¹⁴C dates, this record provides evidence that the Coipasa basin was filled by a shallow body of water during this time. Diatom/salinity and diatom/ionic composition transfer functions indicate that the lake was saline, dominated by sodium-chloride throughout all the period.A comparison with regional data shows that Lake Titicaca could not have overflowed towards the southern Bolivian Altiplano at that time. As this dry phase was not registered in Lake Coipasa, this lake was probably supplied by winter precipitation originating from the Pacific. But, recent data from the deep basin of Lake Titicaca show that the lake-level was higher during this time interval, and the question arises whether precipitation from Atlantic and Amazonia sources could have played an important role on the Altiplano during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). This hypothesis needs to match other available paleoclimatic data from the lowlands of tropical South America, where there is evidence that during the LGM, conditions were drier than today. Global climate simulations suggest a positive P-E on the Altiplano, due to a strong cooling, reducing evaporative demand more than any increase in precipitations. An increase of winter precipitation from the Pacific is in agreement with data from the Chilean coast showing a northward locations of the Westerlies during the LGM. This paleoclimatic hypothesis is also in agreement with a coupled ocean-atmosphere model, which indicates weaker summer precipitation and stronger winter precipitation in the tropical areas.

我国贫营养泥炭沉积的物质组成、理化特性及水化学环境分析

泥炭藓是贫营养泥炭类型中的建群植物，由于生态水环境主要靠大气降水补给，少受其他水源的污染，可自然反映古降水、古湿度的情况，所以是古气候研究最理想的纤维素同位素测试材料之一。因此，弄清我国贫营养泥炭沉积的物质组成及水化学环境特征，具有重要意义。笔根据多年来的国内外野外调查，结合收集到的资料，以东北大小兴安岭山地的泥炭辞贫营养泥炭地为基础，与美国、加拿大以及俄罗斯等国家的同类泥炭地相比较，对我国贫营养泥炭沉积的物质组成、理化特性及水化学环境做了系统的分析研究，并就此讨论了湿地保护中的一些实际问题，以及相应的对策。     

南秦岭下地壳组成及岩石圈的拆离俯冲作用

雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩中地幔柱型岩浆作用——来自氦、氩同位素的证据

雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩的氦、氩同位素组成分别是：蛇绿岩中变质橄榄岩的^3He/^4He比值为1．104-3．384Ra，平均为2．383Ra；玄武岩的He同位素组成比较均一，^3He/^4He平均值为5．359 Ra；辉绿岩的^3He／^4He比值变化较大，为1—5Ra。由于各岩石样品有不同程度的蚀变，造成放射性成因He的加入，因此大多数样品He同位素组成比低于亏损地幔大洋中脊玄武岩的值(MORB≈8Ra)，不能真实反映源区特征。而采自吉定的辉绿岩样品^3He/^4He比值平均高达31．57Ra，与夏威夷发现的热点地幔源区的样品比值接近；分步加热法进一步测试，其高比值的He是在低温区段释放的。这种高^3He/^4He比值He的捕获，表明雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩形成时存在地幔柱型富集地幔岩浆作用。     

Analysis of Karst Tufa from Guangxi, China

The paper presents an analysis of characteristic karst tufa from Guangxi, China, which has not been studied before. A comparison with tufa from Dinaric Karst of Croatia is discussed in view of the C-type climate. The major mineral is calcite. Minor minerals are quartz and dolomite, depending on location. The content of calcium carbonate varies from 65% to 92%, and that of magnesium carbonate from 0.03% to 1.77%. Among other elements, the most abundant are Fe, from 0.02% to 1.50%, and Ti, from 0.15% to 0.27%. Many other trace elements (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Hg and Pb) are also present. Specific activity of radionuclides 40K, 232Th, 137Cs, 226Ra and 238U varies from sample to sample. Concentration of U in tufa is close to that reported for sedimentary carbonate. Low concentration of 137Cs indicates that this part of the world was not exposed to nuclear explosions. The concentration of 226Ra is the highest in Mashan County. The ratio 238U/226Ra (0.21-0.71) in tufa from Mashan Co
