Colonization and evolution of lakes on the central Norwegian coast following deglaciation and land uplift 9500 to 7800 years B.P.

Invertebrate colonization of lakes following the uplift of land from the sea was studied in four lakes, currently situated between 39 and 24 m a.s.l., on the central Norwegian coast. The lakes were isolated from the sea between 9500 and 7700 years B.P. Animal and algal remains picked from core samples showed that the first colonizers preserved as fossils were usually members of the Chironomidae, Daphnidae/Chydoridae, Acarina, Porifera (Ephydatia mülleri and Spongilla lacustris), Bryozoa (Cristatella mucedo and Plumatella spp.) and Charophyta (Chara sp.). Of the chironomids, the genus Chironomus was present in the oldest lacustrine layers of all four lakes, but other genera recorded at the marine/lacustrine boundary were Dicrotendipes, Procladius (?), Einfeldia, Microtendipes, and Glyptotendipes. Remains of the caddis fly family Limnephilidae were also present in the earliest lacustrine sediments in Kvennavatnet and Kvernavatnet. The oldest invertebrate fauna is typical for mesotrophic lakes. However, chironomids and mites have been present in this area from at least about 10?500 years B.P. A diverse chironomid community was established between 300 and 800 years after isolation from the sea at Kvernavatnet on the island of Hitra, while only between 80 and 120 years passed before a comparably diverse community developed at Kvennavatnet on the mainland coast. A similar development of the invertebrate fauna occurred in Kvennavatnet, Kvernavatnet and Storkuvatnet. However, Litjvatnet deviates greatly from the ‘normal’ pattern because a tsunami disturbed the bottom sediments and fauna. The tsunami, a gigantic sea wave, was caused by a submarine slide from the Norwegian continental slope. It reached Litjvatnet, today located 24 m a.s.l., but was not traced in Storkuvatnet at 30 m a.s.l. This event happened about 7200 years B.P.     

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY IN RUSSIA AND ESTONIA*

ABSTRACT. The use of e-mail by a grassroots activist group that straddles the Estonian-Russian border transcends political boundaries and provides ready connections to people in distant places. Activists create a perceived space of resistance in a supportive network that is stretched across space. This network of concern, defined by the physical space in which these activists work and by the strong communicative connections among them, was created to overcome continued environmental mismanagement and remove cultural barriers to cooperation. E-mail communication has enabled an ongoing influence on environmental policy in Estonia and Russia. This circumstance of a collaborative e-mail network created by grassroots activists to aid political work is a testament to how communication technology has expanded for the purpose of strengthening previously silenced voices in a regional and political context.     

四川盆地西部富钾卤水水文地球化学特征及其成因意义探讨

四川盆地西部宫钾卤水以深层卤水形式赋存于地下４０００余ｍ的中三叠统雷口坡组四段（Ｔ２ｌ４）盐系的碳酸盐岩储层中。富钾卤水与海水不同浓缩阶段相比，其中含Ｋ＋含量异常高，构成液态钾矿资源；Ｂｒ－、Ｉ－、Ｂ（３＋）、Ｌｉ＋等稀有组分也远超过综合利用工业品位，为优质化工原料水。富钾卤水为沉积变质和钾盐溶滤的复合成因，具有固夜态找钾的指示意义。本文为四川盆地固液态找钾提供了有价值的线索。     

红赐堡—黄土窑一带孔兹岩系中石榴石的演化史及其地质意义

红赐堡—黄土窑一带早前寒武纪孔兹岩系经历一期麻粒岩相变质作用，并可划分四个变质阶段。各阶段石榴石的分布、形态、矿物组合、化学成分及其成因条件均存在明显差异。通过成因矿物学的系统研究，结合多种地质温压计的估算结果及变质反应实验资料，确定本区孔兹岩系石榴石的结晶生长演化史及变晶变形序列。     

有机质热演化与极低级变质作用

岩石中有机质热演化特征可以灵敏于反映岩石的成岩作用到变质作用之间（即极低级变质作用）的温度、压力变化情况。笔者对有机质热变指标在极低级变质作用界线、变质带划分和变质作用温度、压力和时间演化等方面的应用进行了综述和探讨。     

多标度分形与地球化学场分解

在地球化学叠加场内，不同时期、不同规模的地质作用形成的地球化学景观具有不同的分形标度区间和分维。利用多标度分形方法把黑龙江省团结沟金矿外围的叠加地球化学场分解成了分别与北东向和北面向构造相对应的地球化学正常场和异常场，并在此基础上，讨论了地球化学场的演化。     

东秦岭北缘煤的变质作用与板块构造的关系

以河南省东秦岭造山带北缘山西组二１煤层的煤岩、煤质、煤有机地球化学和“晶核”结构的综合研究为前提，结合板块构造和地球物理场的研究分析，认为该区二１煤的变质热源主要与长期复杂的板块俯冲、Ａ型碰撞所引起的地壳结构调整而使前陆盆地区岩石圈结构变化，大地热流急增的结果有关。二１煤的变质主要经历了早期（印支期前）的区域深成变质（达肥－气煤）和后期（印支－燕山期）的典型异常热变质作用（达无烟煤－高阶无烟煤）。     

柴达木盆地西部新生代气候与地形演变

从孢粉植物分异及演变，干旱碎屑及膏盐沉积分布等方面，对柴达木盆地西部新生代气候与地形的演变进行了探讨。结果表明，盆地西部新生代两个极端干燥气候期（膏盐发育期）分别出现在始新世至渐新世及上新世至第四纪。前者与老第三纪行星环流控制下的副热带干燥带有关，而后者与青藏高原的隆升有关。早第三纪盆地西部及周围地区的地势不象以前所认为的那么低平。在第三纪，昆仑山比祁连山低。晚新生代盆地向北推移了７－１１个纬距。     

阿尔泰诺尔特地区地层—岩浆—构造轮廓初析

新疆阿尔泰北部诺尔特地区的地质轮廓主要形成于海西期，地层主要由上泥盆统和下石炭统组成，岩石以沉积碎屑岩为主，夹火山碎屑岩和熔岩。沉积厚度较大，并且具粗砂岩、细砂岩和粉砂岩反复出现的韵律特征。诺尔特地区的火山岩为海西早、中期形成，早期形成岩屑、晶屑凝灰岩和英安岩，海西中期形成石英斑岩和凝灰岩，前者以中性为主，后者则偏酸性；在构造分区图上投点表明，前者落在Ａ区，属非造山带火山岩，后者落在Ｂ区，属造山带及岛弧火山岩区；稀土配分型式表明，海西早期火山岩的铕异常明显，海西中期火山岩的铕异常不明显。诺尔特地区花岗岩属海西晚期产物，数量不多，通过ＡＲ─ＳｉＯ２图、Ｋ—Ｎａ─Ｃａ图、ＡＣＦ图等图解的分析表明，它们属碱性岩浆成因的Ｓ型花岗岩，稀土元素配分型式显示花岗岩分界明显，但曲线平缓，分异不彻底。诺尔特地区地质构造演化的基本轮廓：早期是一种类似坳拉谷的环境；中期逐步闭合并抬升；晚期裂谷完全闭合，整个地区露出水面接受剥蚀。     

中国西部地区全新世自然环境演变序列与特征

根据湖泊、山地冰川、黄土与古土壤序列、泥炭及沙漠演变等多种地质记录的综合对比分析，重建和恢复了我国酉部地区全新世以来的自然环境演变序列及特征。全新世期间我国西部地区环境演变存在着以水热配置关系不同为突出特征的两种不同的演变模式：即以新疆北部地区为代表的西风型和以青海湖及青藏高原为代表的季风型模式。其成因同区域性特征及大气环流形势密切相关。并划分出我国西部地区全新世自然环境演变过程中的几个重要时间界线，即距今１２ｋａ或１０ｋａ、９ｋａ、３ｋａ和０．５ｋａ。众多地质记录间良好的对比关系对于深入理解我国西部全新世气候环境的演变过程，预测其变化趋向具有十分重要的意义。
