Sedimentary evidence and luminescence and ESR dating of Early Pleistocene high lake levels of Megalake Tengger,northwestern China

The timing of high lake-level stands during the Late Pleistocene in western China remains controversial. Here we report new results from Megalake Tengger based on a study of palaeo-shorelines and a drill core from Baijian Lake in the northwestern Tengger Desert. Multiple dating methods, based on luminescence signals (quartz optically stimulated luminescence, K-feldspar post infrared-infrared stimulated luminescence) and electron spin resonance signals of quartz, were used to date beach sands from palaeo-shoreline profiles at altitudes of ~1310 m (+20 m above lake level), ~1320 m (+30 m) and ~1350 m (+60 m), and from the top 20 m of sandy sediments from the drill core obtained from the modern beach of Baijian Lake. The dating results show that high lake-level stands associated with the previously reported Megalake Tengger (~1310–1320 m) occurred during the late Early to Middle Pleistocene, which is much earlier than previously reported. In addition, no geomorphological evidence of shorelines and sedimentary evidence from the drill core profile were found to support the previously reported Late Pleistocene lake levels. Our results indicate that the exact age of the previously reported ‘high lake level event’ in a large part of northwestern China during the Late Pleistocene needs to be re-evaluated.     

2003年6月青岛震群地震震源机制与震源区应力场特征

利用山东数字地震台网记录的2003年6月青岛震群波形资料,由P波、SV波、SH波初动和它们之间的振幅比,联合计算了ML≥2.9地震的震源机制解。结果表明,震群发生前期,震源机制较为一致,P轴与北东东(80°)近水平方向的区域应力场主压应力方向一致,震群发生后期震源机制变化相对较大。上述现象相对于强震P轴方向与区域应力场主压应力方向一致,而余震P轴絮乱的现象有一定的相似性。但相对于强震在震后引起的主压应力方向变化(约40°~96°)来说,青岛震群地震引起震源区P轴的变化(约45°)并不显著。

Paleoproterozoic (ca. 1.7 Ga) magmatism in Chifeng,Inner Mongolia: implications for the tectonic evolution of the Trans-North China Orogen

The Meilin porphyritic biotite granite is located along the northern margin of the North China Craton and the northern central orogenic belt. The Meilin granite is complex but is dominated by a porphyritic biotite granite. Isotopic dating using zircon U-Pb LA-ICP-MS analyses indicates that the porphyritic biotite granite was emplaced at 1715.6 ± 9.6 Ma during the Late Paleoproterozoic, rather than during the Permian as previously thought. The Meilin granite is an A-type, and all samples from this granite are characterized by relatively high contents of silica (SiO₂ = 69.86–71.70%), alkalis ((Na₂O + K₂O) = 8.69–9.40%), alumina (Al₂O₃ = 13.71–14.59%), high ratios of FeOt/MgO, low contents of calcium (CaO = 0.26–0.39%), and a negative Eu anomaly (Eu = 0.47–0.57). Additionally, all samples display strong enrichment in Th, K, La, Ce, and P and depletion in U, Ti, Ta, and Nb. These characteristics indicate that the granite formed in a rift environment, where rifting caused mantle decompression and the formation of basic magma. Underplating of the basic magma provided a heat source, leading to the partial melting of the lower crust. Sr isotopes of the Meilin porphyritic biotite granite suggest that the magma source was the remelting of the metamorphic basement. The granite was therefore emplaced in a non-orogenic extensional tectonic setting, which may have been related to the initial breakup of the Columbia supercontinent during the Late Paleoproterozoic.     

Summer Monsoon Rainfall Variability in Central China over the Past 4700 Years and Its Possible Link to Solar Activity

Based on 467 pairs of δ~(18) O and δ~(13) C records and 8 230 Th dates from a stalagmite(BF4) from Xiniu Cave, central China, we present a reconstruction of ~9-yr resolution monsoon rainfall record for the past 4700 years. Our δ~(18) O record shows good coherence with East Asian summer monsoon(EASM) rainfall proxies from adjacent regions during the overlapping intervals, suggesting that δ~(18) O signal in BF4 can be interpreted as a monsoon rainfall proxy. The δ~(13) C variations are related to changes in local processes at the cave site, and regional rainfall and temperature changes.Based on the δ~(18) O record, a series of dry periods can be identified at 4500–4200, 3500–3200, 2800–2500,1900–1600, 1400–1200, 700–500, and 400–200 yr BP, while a series of wet periods can be identified at 4200–3600,2400–2200, 3200–2800, 1100–900, 600–400, and 200–100 yr BP. Power spectrum analysis on our δ~(18) O record reveals significant cycles at ~470 and ~80 yr, coinciding with the typical solar periodic variations. This result suggests that changes in solar activity play a dominant role in driving centennial–decadal monsoon rainfall variation in central China. Due to minor changes in solar irradiance(less than 1.5 W m~(-2)) over the past 4700 years, our record was further compared to the El Ni?o–Southern Oscillation(ENSO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation(PDO) proxies,confirming that solar forcing on monsoon rainfall changes might be amplified by the ENSO and PDO variations.From 600 to 150 yr BP(the Little Ice Age, LIA), a positive shift of ~2‰ can be revealed in both the δ~(18) O and δ~(13) C records, indicating a cold/dry climatic pattern. By comparing our δ~(18) O and δ~(13) C records with historical documents,we suggest that the climatic deteriorations between 450 and 250 yr BP may have caused serious social unrest at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

撰山子角闪二长花岗岩位于华北克拉通与兴蒙造山带结合部位的中生代构造岩浆活动带,对其开展了主量元素、稀土和微量元素分析以及LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年等工作,目的在于精确厘定岩体的形成时代和研究其形成的动力学背景。结果表明：花岗岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb谐和年龄为（245.8±3.1）Ma（MSWD=3.7,n=17）,属早三叠世。岩石地球化学成分特征显示为,其具有高硅（w（SiO₂）=71.68%~72.85%）、富碱（w（Na₂O+K₂O）=8.98%~9.20%）、高铝（w（Al₂O₃）=13.45%~13.77%）、低钙（w（CaO）=0.81%~0.99%）及低TFeO/MgO值（平均值为6.55）的特征,属高钾钙碱性、高分异I型弱铝质花岗岩;稀土配分曲线呈现向右倾斜的配分模式,Eu具有明显的亏损（δEu=0.66~0.68）,表明斜长石发生了明显的分离结晶作用;在微量元素原始地幔标准化图谱上呈现清晰的Th、U、La、P富集,Ba、Nb、Ti、Sr、Ta等相对亏损的特征。综合分析认为,撰山子角闪二长花岗岩主要形成于下地壳部分熔融作用,可能有少量的地幔组分加入,其形成于华北板块和西伯利亚板块最终拼合后的后碰撞/后造山伸展作用构造环境。     

东亚春季强冷锋结构及其动力学诊断研究 I. 东亚春季强冷锋结构

本文利用常规探空资料和华东中尺度试验的部分资料，对1983年春季一次快速南下，并在江淮地区产生大范围强对流天气的冷锋进行了三维结构的分析。通过研究发现，这次冷锋过程主要有以下特征: （1） 与冷锋相对应的高空槽前存在一支下沉（DVM）气流；（2）有一强的辐合区出现在对流层中层，锋前上升运动的最大值也出现在对流层中层；（3）比较强的锋生过程主要集中于对流层中下层；（4）存在一支明显的热力直接环流（TDC），即暖湿空气沿冷锋倾斜上升；（5）在冷锋后存在一支较强的下沉气流（DVM），这支DVM对冷锋逆温层（或等温层）的形成可能有重要作用。并将此次东亚春季强冷锋个例与小仓义光（Ogura）等分析的北美春季冷锋（SESAME）个例作了对比，发现此次冷锋个例中，锋区的温度密集区主要在对流层中层，而北美SESAME个例温度密集区主要在对流层低层。这可能是由于东亚高空急流较强，动力强迫而引发锋生所致。
