江苏中部海岸全新世中期温暖期风暴潮频率的研究

通过对采集于江苏省盐城市上冈镇的三个柱状沉积剖面(W,M,E)的岩性特征及其对比关系的分析、沉积物14C年代的测定以及沉积物样品的粒度、磁化率特征的分析,结合有孔虫和颗石藻的分析结果,判定研究沉积层段为全新世中期的潮滩沉积.孢粉分析结果显示当时的气候较现在温暖.以潮汐层理的周期性特征为依据,对以泥为主的潮滩沉积剖面中每隔10~20cm有规律出现的一层砂作了分析,结果表明这一沉积特征为季节性的潮滩沉积旋回.在此基础上,观察沉积剖面中的风暴潮事件的记录状况,估算出剖面中记录的与9711号台风风暴潮强度相当的风暴潮的发生频率为二至四年一遇,而依据盐城市东台梁垛河闸多年的现代最高潮位资料,应用耿贝尔(Gum-bel)曲线拟合法计算出的9711号台风所引起的风暴潮频率为十二年一遇,即全新世中期温暖期的台风风暴潮的频率比现在大.据此推测全球变暖后台风风暴潮的频率将会增加.     

On the minimum amplitude of regional sea-level fluctuations during the Flandrian

The mathematical form of a time–height sea-level curve representing intermediate-frequency fluctuations superimposed on an underlying upward trend yields a simple method for estimating the minimum amplitude of fluctuations from field measurements of the thickness of silt–peat couplets. Drawing on data from the Thames Estuary and the Fenland Basin, fluctuations of relative sea-level with minimum amplitudes between 0.08 m and 0.91 m seem to have occurred in the southeast British region during the mid-Flandrian. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Intertidal clay-drape couplets (Gironde estuary, France)

Clay-drape couplets on subaqueous dunes have been regarded as a diagnostic feature of the subtidal environment since Visser's seminal paper (1980). The new observation of clay-drape couplets in the intertidal zone on a present day tidal bar of the Gironde estuary shows that they are not restricted to the subtidal zone.
In the intertidal zone, low-tide slack-water clay drapes are deposited in the bottomsets of the dominant current dunes when the muddy water retained in the troughs is absorbed into the sand during the emergence of the intertidal bar. They drape emergence run-off ripples generated by the drainage currents in the bottomsets. High-tide slack-water clay drapes are deposited over the entire dune surface and are preserved on the lee side of the dunes and in the bottomsets. They drape the subordinate current ripples. Low-tide and high-tide slack-water clay drapes enclose one thin rippled sand layer (the subordinate current bundle) and are isolated from other adjacent clay-drape couplets by the dominant current bundle.
The clay-drape couplets deposited in the intertidal zone can be distinguished from their subtidal counterparts on the basis of two morphological differences:
1. In the intertidal zone, the low-tide clay drape is only present in the bottomsets of the dunes, whereas in the subtidal zone equivalent clay drapes are also present on the lower part of the lee side of the dunes.
2. In the intertidal zone, low-tide clay drapes are deposited in the bottomsets of the dunes over emergence run-off ripples oriented in the direction of the drainage currents (i.e. in a direction normal to the tidal currents). Conversely, in the subtidal zone, the equivalent clay drapes are typically deposited over ripples oriented in the tidal-current direction (ebb or flood). There is a difference of polarity of 90° between the intertidal and subtidal small-scale bedforms draped by the low-tide slack-water drapes.     

黄土高原北部丘陵沟壑区近160年土壤侵蚀量演变及其对ENSO事件的响应

对形成于1851~1861年的靖边（JB）聚湫内22.75 m沉积序列进行完整钻探,并基于XRF Core Scanning的元素分布划分旋回和年际冻融层,在高精度定年的基础上计算旋回及年际产沙量和产沙模数。结果表明：JB聚湫沉积序列由126个旋回叠加而成,且形成于1855~2014年的78 个年份中。JB聚湫内旋回产沙量和产沙模数变化范围分别为0.27×10 ⁴~22.44×10 ⁴t和0.09×10 ⁴~7.82×10 ⁴t/km ²;年际产沙量和产沙模数范围分别为0.27×10 ⁴~90.73×10 ⁴t/a和0.09×10 ⁴~23.40×10 ⁴t/(km ²·a)。 ENSO事件显著影响JB流域强降水作用下的侵蚀产沙,且在El Ni?o次年和La Ni?a年份发生侵蚀产沙的频率较高,可能是这些年份中东亚季风增强后带来更多强降水事件的结果。研究结果有效延长了黄土高原北部丘陵沟壑区小流域土壤侵蚀演变历史,充分理解ENSO事件驱动下该地区侵蚀产沙的响应,为黄土高原北部坝库建设、水土流失治理和防洪减灾等提供理论依据。
