南黄海东北陆架YSDP 105孔冰消期以来沉积层序的磁学特征…

尝试对南黄海东北陆架ＹＳＤＰ１０５孔０．６０－２９．６８ｍ的沉积层序进行环境磁学的研究，测量了岩心的磁化率，非磁滞剩磁，饱和等温剩磁等磁学参数。对磁学参数及其有关比值的研究发现，沉积层序以含碎屑成因的低矫顽力磁性矿物为主，另含少量高矫顽力磁性矿物。     

四川天全地区晚三叠世地层中发现恐龙足迹化石

四川盆地中不仅蕴含有丰富的恐龙化石，同时四川也是中国恐龙足迹化石类型最多的省份。截至1995年，中国已经命名的恐龙足迹化石有28个属、35个种，其中四川就有15个属、17个种。时代最早的恐龙足迹化仃是在四川彭县发现的磁峰彭县足迹（Pengxianpus，Young et Young，1987），分布于晚三叠世须家河组之中，其发现2个足迹形成的单步，被认为是原蜥脚类恐龙所留。

Benthic infaunal communities around two artificial reefs in Mamala Bay, Oahu, Hawaii

Non-fishery use of artificial reefs has been given attention in recent years. The primary concern associated with non-fishery artificial reefs is their effects to the surrounding ecosystems. This study examined the infaunal communities around two non-fishery artificial reefs (the sunken vessels YO257 and Sea Tiger) in Mamala Bay, Hawaii. Infaunal community structures at these artificial reefs were relatively similar to one at a nearly natural patch reef. A large amount of basalt gravel around YO257 associated with its deployment operation possibly had an effect on the surrounding community by increasing pore space. Polychaete assemblages were compared with existing data throughout the bay, and this revealed that the variation in sediment grain sizes and depths seemed to play some role in structuring the polychaete communities. Nevertheless, the infaunal communities around the artificial reefs were typical and within the range of natural variation in Mamala Bay, supporting their beneficial uses in ecotourism.     

Application of satellite infrared data for mapping of thermal plume contamination in coastal ecosystem of Korea

The 5900 MW Younggwang nuclear power station on the west coast of Korea discharges warm water affecting coastal ecology [KORDI report (2003). Wide area observation of the impact of the operation of Younggwang nuclear power plant 5 and 6, No. BSPI 319-00-1426-3, KORDI, Seoul, Korea]. Here the spatial and temporal characteristics of the thermal plume signature of warm water are reported from a time series (1985-2003) of space-borne, thermal infrared data from Landsat and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites. Sea surface temperature (SST) were characterized using advanced very high resolution radiometer data from the NOAA satellites. These data demonstrated the general pattern and extension of the thermal plume signature in the Younggwang coastal areas. In contrast, the analysis of SST from thematic mapper data using the Landsat-5 and 7 satellites provided enhanced information about the plume shape, dimension and direction of dispersion in these waters. The thermal plume signature was detected from 70 to 100 km to the south of the discharge during the summer monsoon and 50 to 70 km to the northwest during the winter monsoon. The mean detected plume temperature was 28 degrees C in summer and 12 degrees C in winter. The DeltaT varied from 2 to 4 degrees C in winter and 2 degrees C in summer. These values are lower than the re-circulating water temperature (6-9 degrees C). In addition the temperature difference between tidal flats and offshore (SSTtidal flats - SSToffsore) was found to vary from 5.4 to 8.5 degrees C during the flood tides and 3.5 degrees C during the ebb tide. The data also suggest that water heated by direct solar radiation on the tidal flats during the flood tides might have been transported offshore during the ebb tide. Based on these results we suggest that there is an urgent need to protect the health of Younggwang coastal marine ecosystem from the severe thermal impact by the large quantity of warm water discharged from the Younggwang nuclear power plant.     

四川南部珙县早侏罗世一新蜥脚类恐龙

简介在珙县下侏罗统自流井组东岳庙段中,发现的原始蜥脚类恐龙化石的一新属种石碑珙县龙。成年个体长约１４ｍ。化石材料相当丰富,除头骨不完全外,其他部分乃至全部均保存完好。它是早期的原始的蜥脚类,但又和蜥脚类有不少共同点。它对研究蜥脚类的起源和进化,具有重要意义
