新疆博斯腾湖沉积岩心的~(210)Pb、~(228)Th、~(239,240)Pu和~3H的分布及意义

作者测定了博斯腾湖沉积岩心~(210)Pb、~(228)Th和核试验释放核素~(239,240)Pu、~3H的分布,并据~(210)Pb、~(228)Th、~(239,240)Pu的结果估算湖泊的沉积速率,分别为0.31cm/a,0.26cm/a和0.33cm/a。它表明该湖泊近百年来沉积环境十分稳定。沉积物岩心极好地保存了人类大气核试验的历史记录。~(239,240)Pu分布在1963±2出现峰值,与60年代核试验高峰期相当吻合。沉积物孔隙水~3H分布的峰值出现在1969年,与湖水的混合过程有关。     

22nd IAS Meeting of Sedimentology

The 22nd IAS Meeting of Sedimentology was held in the Convention Centre of the Grand Hotel Adriatic, in a small touristic town Opatija, located on the eastern Adriatic coast where Central Europe and the Mediterranean meet. It was the second IAS Meeting held in Croatia--the first one, 4th IAS Regional Meeting of Sedimentology, was held in Split in 1983. The Meeting in Opatija was organized by the Institute of Geology (Zagreb) and the Croatian Geological Society. The sponsor was Ministry of Science and Technology of the Reoublic of Croatia.     

Mantle processes during ocean formation：Petrologic records in peridotites from the Alpine－Apennine ophiolites

Mantle peridotites were early exposed at the sea-floor of the Jurassic Tethys derived from the subcontinental mantle of the Europe-Adria system. During continental rifting and oceanic spreading, these lithospheric peri-dotites were percolated via diffuse reactive porous flowby melt fractions produced by near-fractional melting of the upwelling asthenosphere. Ascending melts inter-acted with the lower lithosphere, dissolving pyroxenes and precipitating olivine, and crystallized at shallower levels in the mantle column causing melt impregnation.Subsequent focused porous flow formed replacive dunitechannels, cutting the impregnated oeridotites, which were conduits for upward migration of MORB-type liq-uids. Melt migration produced depletionlrefertilization and significant heating of the percolatedlimpregnated mantle, i.e the thermochemical erosion of the litho-sphere. Impregnated and thermally modified lithos-pheric mantle was cooled by conductive heat loss dur-ing progressive lithosphere thinning and was intrudeaby MORB magmas, which formed Mg-rich and Fe-richgabbroic dykes and bodies. Alpine-Apennine ophiolitic peridotites record the deep-seated migration of melts which changed their compositions and dynamics during the rift evolution. The thermochemical erosion of the lithospheric mantle by the ascending asthenospheric melts, which induces significant compositional and rhe-ological changes in the lower lithosphere, is a major process in the evolution of the continent-ocean transi-tion towards a slow spreading oceanic system.     

高能潮道中的灰泥层——风暴沉积的记录

1992年8月23—24日，安德鲁飓风经过了美国大巴哈马滩北部的两个典型的鲕沉积地区(catcay和Joulfefscay)．在风暴后7个星期，观察到在风暴中沉积于高能潮道(4m深)中的碳酸盐灰泥纹层已经暴露在水下鲕丘的丘槽中，     

似海底反射的地震速度和AVO效应

我们将浓度和压力作为一个函数得到冰和含气体水合物的地震波速度。同以往以简单的慢度和平均模量及双相模型为基础的理论不同，我们使用了Biot类型的三相理论，这一理论考虑了二种固体（颗粒和冰或笼形物）和一种液体（水）的存在，以及一个含气和水的多孔隙基质。对于固体的Berea砂岩，低于0℃时的纵波理论估计值过低，在含有冰－颗粒相互作用和颗粒胶结时与实验数据产生了好的吻合。严格地讲，水的比例与温度紧密相关。假定已知孔隙的平均半径和标准偏差，那么在一给定温度下的波速拟合就能对整个温度范围的速度进行预测。通过一个粘弹性的单相结构模型来计算反射系数。本文的分析是针对游离气带的顶部（位于含气体水合物的沉积层下）和底部（上履于饱含水的沉积层）进行的。如果似海底反射仅仅是由于胶结气体水合物与含游离气沉积层的分界面造成，我们可以得出结论：（1）在一定的气体饱和度下，很难估算低浓度情况下气体水合物数量。然而，水合物的高、低浓度还是可以区分的，因为它们分别呈现正和负的异常；（2）游离气和饱和度可以从反射振幅中而不是从异常类型中获取；（3）P波转化为S波的反射系数是指示高含量的气体水合物和游离气一个较好指示。另一方面，对于未胶结的沉积物，振幅随偏移距变化曲线总是为正。
