Carbon and oxygen isotopic constraints on paleoclimate and paleoelevation of the southwestern Qaidam basin,northern Tibetan Plateau

We investigate the growth of the northern Tibetan Plateau and associated climate change by applying oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions in Cenozoic strata in the southwestern Qaidam basin. The X-ray diffraction and isotopic studies reveal that the carbonate minerals are mainly authigenic and they do not preserve any evidence for detrital carbonate and diagenesis. The isotope data show large fluctuations in the δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C values in the middle–late Eocene, indicating relatively warm and seasonal dry climate. The positive correlation of the δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C values in the Oligocene and the positive shift of the δ¹³C values from the Eocene to Oligocene suggest that the climate changed to arid in the Oligocene. However, the δ¹⁸O values show negative shift, which is closely related to the global cooling event. During the Miocene, the δ¹³C values vary between –2‰ and –4‰, whereas the δ¹⁸O values show continuous negative shift. The mean δ¹⁸O values decrease from –8.5‰ in the early Miocene to –10.0‰ in the late Miocene. The stable isotope-based paleoaltimetry results suggest that the elevation of the southwestern Qaidam basin was approximately 1500 m in the middle–late Eocene and Oligocene. Subsequently, during Miocene the crustal uplift process started and the elevation reached approximately 2000 m in the early Miocene and 2500 m in the late Miocene, which suggests large-scale growth of the northern Tibet Plateau during the Miocene.     

广西龙滩库区深部孕震结构大地电磁探测研究

在广西龙滩库区布置2条北北西-南东东向大地电磁探测剖面进行了32个测点的观测,观测频段为320 Hz~1000 s.对2条剖面上测量和计算得到的各种电磁参数、深部电性结构图像以及库区地质构造、岩性和水域分布等进行分析研究.结果显示库区发育的6条断裂在电性上表现为不同程度的电性差异边界,其中拉浪-达良断裂和拉色-辉马断裂为库区主要断裂带.库区深部电性结构总体表现为纵向上自地表到20 km深度呈现高-低-高的波浪起伏的三层结构,横向上呈明显的高低电阻块状组合样式.龙滩库区4个地震丛集区的震源都位于高、低电阻接触带附近,其中3个地震丛集区的震源位于低阻特性的石炭系地层的下部,为岩溶水体诱发地震;发生最大震级的地震丛集区的震源位于上宽下窄似"铆钉状"的高阻体下部,推测是因水库蓄水后水体压力增大和库水渗透作用下在聚集高变形能的脆性高电阻体内部发生的地震.     

地震监测人工源极低频电磁技术(CSELF)新试验

2009年利用大功率人工源极低频电磁技术(CSELF)在位于华北、华南、东北、西北和西南的12个地震台站和几个流动观测点进行了连续30天新的观测试验.结果表明,利用CSELF技术可以在1700 km之外测量到人工源电磁场信号,计算得到的电、磁场功率谱密度和视电阻率与天然源信号相比,抗干扰能力更强,观测信号更稳定,特别有利于识别和捕捉地震等诱发的电磁异常现象,在地震预测监测中具有很大的研究应用潜力.试验还发现,各地震台站和流动测点观测的CSELF信号的强度,与台站或者测量的电、磁场分量相对于发射源的距离、方位有明显的关系;发现在离开发射源的相对近区,场强随距离的衰减,比在相对远区更快;发现接收磁场信号比电场信号较易获得更高信噪比的数据.     

Late Cenozoic magnetostratigraphy (11 – 0 Ma) of the Dongshanding and Wangjiashan sections in the Longzhong Basin,western China

A paleomagnetic study of the 510-m-thick Wangjiashan section of Late Miocene and Pliocene terrestrial sediments reveals a fairly complete reversal record with ages from 11 to 1.8 Ma. The magnetostratigraphy of the Dongshanding section, located nearby, reveals a partially overlapping reversal record with ages from 2.2 to 0 Ma, and facilitates correlation of the Wangjiashan section with the global polarity time scale. A new stratigraphic division of the Wangjiashan section replaces the name Linxia formation by five new formation names, based on lithologic variation and mammalian fossil finds. The new formations and their magnetostratigraphically determined ages are: Dongshan Formation (c. 1.75–2.6 Ma), Jishi Fm. (c. 2.6–3.6 Ma), Hewangjia Fm. (4.5–6.0 Ma), Liushu Fm. (6.0–7.6 Ma), and Dongxiang Fm. (7.6–c. 12 Ma). The Neogene stratigraphy and fossil mammals suggest that the nearby part of the Tibetan Plateau experienced a persistent denudation during the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene, but that it was uplifted more rapidly at about 3.6 Ma.

In this paper, records of mainly meteorological stations of recent 50 years in Tibetan plateau are compared, and three cold periods and three warm periods as well as the rule of dry and humid variation in the Tibetan plateau during the last 50 years are summarized. It is discovered that the vicissitude time of every warm and cold period at the edge of the plateau is four years earlier than that of the inland, and the year-to-year variation phase of mean monthly temperature of January and July is relatively earlier than that of mean annual temperature. And there are different characteristics of correspondence between mean annual temperature and mean monthly temperature of January and July on the south and the north of the Tanggula Range.
