利用历史有感地震目录（M≥3（1／2））研究华北地区地震活动性特征

对新编的华北地区历史有感地震目录（３（１／２）≤Ｍ＜４（１／２））的精度和可信度进行了讨论。认为该地震目录从１４８４年后的记载率较高，它的发震时间、震中位置和震级的精度基本可以满足研究历史地震活动性的需要。它与中国地震目录（Ｍ≥４（３／４））比较，补充了相当数量的３（１／２）≤Ｍ≤４（１／２）的地震。利用历史有感地震目录分析了华北北部部分６级以上的历史地震，结果表明，这些地震在强震发生前具有明显的空区、条带、地震活动性增强、平静等前兆特征，同时，也显示了某些强＊发生前的前震活动和主震之后起伏的强余震活动     

苏格兰西南部达拉德变质带中的大气降水渗入和氧前锋：区域金活动性的新假？

产于达拉德变质带黑云带中变质期后石英脉由三种主要类型组成：含黄铁矿的他形成英型，含赤铁矿的他形石英型和含赤铁矿或金红石的柱状石英型。他形石英脉中的氧化矿物由先存硫化物氧化而成，金在此氧化过程中被活化。成分相似的晚期柱状结构石英晶体经历了相分离的流体形成。脉中石英的氧同位素比值不等。成矿流体含有大量大气降水的成分，其同们素组成和化学成分随着水－岩相互作用而逐渐变化。金的活化转移与再沉积在片岩地层中随     

Experimental Research on Microscopic Indicators of Temperature＇ s Returning-to-Zero in Deformation of Calcite and Discussions of Correlation Problem

In order to determine the degree of returning-to-zero of temperatures of deformed calcite, a series of rock-breaking experiments were designed to test calcite-rich limestone samples under fixed confining pressures and different temperatures. The consolidated deformed samples in their initial state were observed under a microscope and the microscopic indicators in different zero-returning states were put forward, thus providing a microscopic foundation for evaluation of reliability of dating values of deformation in calcite. At last, the correction of dating values of deformation for samples whose temperature has not yet returned to zero is discussed.     

Wenchuan Earthquake： Way of thinking is changed

On 12 May, 2008, at 14：28：04 local time, an Ms 8.0 earthquake struck the Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, in southwest China （Figure 1）. This quake left about 70,000 people dead, 18,000 missing and over 370,000 injured. In the 75 days after the main shock, 20,000 aftershocks were recorded, which included 241 with Ms≥4.0, 205 with 4.0≤M≤4.9, 30 with 5.0≤Ms≤5.9, and 6 with Ms≥6.0. The largest aftershock took place 13 days after the main shock, in Qingchuan County, 110 km northeast of the epicenter of the quake （Chen, 2008）. The losses from the quaketriggered geological disasters accounted for over a third of the total quake losses, which is extremely rare in the history of earthquake disasters. Secondary disasters, such as landslides, rockslides, landfalls, debris flows, etc., were widely distributed. Large numbers of buildings collapsed, including ones with steel reinforcing in the area of the epicenter. Infrastructure was badly damaged. In many areas, communications, and power and water supplies were cut off. The earthquake left over 35 large quake-dammed lakes, which threatened further disasters in the catchment areas.     

千年气候变化 : 争论在继续

２０００年３月在美国帕利塞兹举行的“小冰期和中世纪温暖期”专题讨论会上 ,世界上首要的气候学家探讨了２０世纪全球性变暖之前气候的自然变化。还是在２０世纪６０年代初期 ,美国科学家ＬａｍｂＨＨ就提出了有关在１０００～１３００ａ期间地球上全球性变暖的学说。气候学家ＨｕｇｈｅｓＭＫ和ＤｉａｚＨＦ强调指出 ,已有的资料只允许我们谈论在某些特定时期内某些局部地区的变暖。同时由于资料的缺乏也不能完全否定该过程的全球性质 ,特别是涉及世界大洋和南半球。对采自格陵兰和南极洲的冰岩心分析表明 ,约１０００年前地球上这些地区…
