盐下转换波迭前深度偏移成像：墨西哥湾Mahogany地区

用迭前深度偏移方法处理了墨西哥湾Ｍａｈｏｇａｎｙ地区的四分量海义革震（４Ｃ－ＯＢＳ）测量数据中的水平分量,水平分量数据主要包含Ｐ－Ｓ转换波能量,这些转换波在从Ｐ波变为Ｓ波的传播路径中至少有一次波转换。利用本文介绍的技术,浅层低速沉积、盐体的顶和底以脑盐下沉积都得到了成像。     

基于分形理论的板块形态重建

全球板块重建的精细化和区域化是当前研究的热点领域之一。值得注意的是,针对重建板块形态分布规律的研究,尚未充分展开。在大数据背景下,本文根据已有板块重建模型,对中生代以来的重建板块的形态,进行了分形维数分析,并结合斑岩型铜矿床的频数分布规律,讨论了分形维数和斑岩型矿床频数对板块重建整体性评估的意义。研究结果表明,自250 Ma以来的地质历史时期,全球重建板块形态的分形维数具有先下降后上升的特点,在65 Ma达到最小,可能代表了由Pangea超大陆向未来超大陆Amasia的转换。此外,全球斑岩型铜矿床的频数异常与板块重建形态的分形维数异常具有良好的对应关系,表明板块运动过程中产生的快速形变与斑岩型铜矿床形成之间具有密切的联系。该结果可能将为整体性评估重建板块形态的真实性提供一个全新的方法,特别是对约束古老板块的形态方面,具有一定的科学价值;同时,也能为斑岩型铜矿床的成因,提供对照参考的数据基础。     

Environmental impacts of dredging on seagrasses: a review

Main potential impacts on seagrasses from dredging and sand mining include physical removal and/or burial of vegetation and effects of increased turbidity and sedimentation. For seagrasses, the critical threshold for turbidity and sedimentation, as well as the duration that seagrasses can survive periods of high turbidity or excessive sedimentation vary greatly among species. Larger, slow-growing climax species with substantial carbohydrate reserves show greater resilience to such events than smaller opportunistic species, but the latter display much faster post-dredging recovery when water quality conditions return to their original state. A review of 45 case studies worldwide, accounting for a total loss of 21,023 ha of seagrass vegetation due to dredging, is indicative of the scale of the impact of dredging on seagrasses. In recent years, tighter control in the form of strict regulations, proper enforcement and monitoring, and mitigating measures together with proper impact assessment and development of new environmental dredging techniques help to prevent or minimize adverse impacts on seagrasses. Costs of such measures are difficult to estimate, but seem negligible in comparison with costs of seagrass restoration programmes, which are typically small-scale in approach and often have limited success. Copying of dredging criteria used in one geographic area to a dredging operation in another may in some cases lead to exaggerated limitations resulting in unnecessary costs and delays in dredging operations, or in other cases could prove damaging to seagrass ecosystems. Meaningful criteria to limit the extent and turbidity of dredging plumes and their effects will always require site-specific evaluations and should take into account the natural variability of local background turbidity.     

郯庐断裂带伊通段新生代构造演化特征及其控盆机制

郯庐断裂带伊通段的构造活动对伊通盆地的形成与油气分布具有重要控制作用。通过对最新的地震、钻井、物探、露头等资料分析,认为郯庐断裂带伊通段新生代以来的构造演化可划分为三个阶段,即:古新世-始新世中期的左旋走滑挤压阶段、始新世中期-渐新世末期的右旋走滑伸展阶段和中新世-第四纪的右旋走滑和隆升阶段。其中第二阶段为主成盆期,控盆断裂活动特征具有南早北晚、由南向北迁移的规律,盆地沉积中心因此也从南西向北东迁移并靠近西北缘主断裂;第三阶段为盆地反转期,控盆断裂发生右行压扭和隆升,盆地东南缘发生拱张使得万昌构造带等早期形成的构造高部位油气藏遭受破坏,而盆地西北缘受侧向挤压则形成宽2～4km的西北缘断褶带,具有良好油气成藏条件和勘探潜力,是盆地新的找油领域。
