Structural set up in northern part of Kumaun Himalaya

The Main Central Thrust (MCT) and the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) are the two major thrusts in Kumaun, the MCT forming the boundary between highly sheared, deformed and mylonitized rocks of the Great Himalayan Central Crystallines and the Lesser Himalayan metasedimentaries. While in the Central Crystallines four-folding episodes are observed of which two are of the Precambrian age, the Lesser Himalayan rocks show only two phases of folding. MCT has its own distinctive structural history and the crystalline mass comprises an integral part of peninsular India.     

Geothermobarometry and development of inverted metamorphism in the Darjeeling-Sikkim region of the eastern Himalayan

ABSTRACT The Darjeeling-Sikkim region provides a classic example of inverted Himalayan metamorphism. The different parageneses of pelitic rocks containing chlorite, biotite, garnet, staurolite, kyanite, sillimanite, plagioclase and K-feldspar are documented by a variety of textures resulting from continuous and discontinuous reactions in the different zones. Microprobe data of coexisting minerals show that X_Mg varies in the order: garnet < staurolite < biotite < chlorite. White mica is a solid solution between muscovite and phengite. Garnet is mostly almandine-rich and shows normal growth zoning in the lower part of the Main Central Thrust (MCT) zone, and reverse zoning in the upper part of the zone. Chemographical relations and inferred reactions for different zones are portrayed in AFM space. In the low-grade zones oriented chlorites and micas and rolled garnets grew syntectonically, and were succeeded by cross-cutting chlorites and micas and garnet rims. In the upper zones sillimanite, kyanite and staurolite crystallized during a static inter-kinematic phase. P-T contitions of metamorphism, estimated through different models of geothermobarometry, are estimated to have been 580°c for the garnet zone to a maximum of 770°c for the sillimanite zone. The preferred values of pressure range from 5.0 kbar to 7.7 kbar. Models to explain the inverted metamorphism include overthrusting of a hot high Himalayan slab along a c. 5 km wide ductile MCT zone and the syn- or post-metamorphic folding of isograds.     

Strain and Crystallographic Fabric in Mesoscopic Ductile Shear Zones of Garhwal Himalaya

The MCT Zone of Bhagirathi valley of Garhwal Himalaya is characterized by numerous mesoscopic ductile shear zones. These shear zones are developed in response to nearly NNE-SSW maximum horizontal compression and provide an opportunity to study the variation in strain and crystallographic fabrics within the ductile shear zones.The grain shape and orientation of quartz under microscope reflect that strain is higher in the center and it progressively decreases towards the shear zone boundary. The preferred orientation of quartz c-axes across the shear zone suggests that the single girdle of the quartz c-axes are probably first developed at the shear zone boundary and become prominent in the center of shear zone with increase in the intensity of deformation. The strong crystallographic preferred orientation normal to foliation suggests that the internal deformation of the quartz might have taken place by dislocation creep mechanism exhibiting a non-coaxial deformation history.     

Fabric development during shear deformation in the Main Central Thrust Zone, NW-Himalaya, India

Quartz microfabrics and associated microstructures have been studied on a crustal shear zone—the Main Central Thrust (MCT) of the Himalaya. Sampling has been done along six traverses across the MCT zone in the Kumaun and Garhwal sectors of the Indian Himalaya. The MCT is a moderately north-dipping shear zone formed as a result of the southward emplacement of a part of the deeply rooted crust (that now constitutes the Central Crystalline Zone of the Higher Himalaya) over the less metamorphosed sedimentary belt of the Lesser Himalaya. On the basis of quartz c- and a-axis fabric patterns, supported by the relevant microstructures within the MCT zone, two major kinematic domains have been distinguished. A noncoaxial deformation domain is indicated by the intensely deformed rocks in the vicinity of the MCT plane. This domain includes ductilely deformed and fine-grained mylonitic rocks which contain a strong stretching lineation and are composed of low-grade mineral assemblages (muscovite, chlorite and quartz). These rocks are characterized by highly asymmetric structures/microstructures and quartz c- and a-axis fabrics that indicate a top-to-the-south sense that is compatible with south-directed thrusting for the MCT zone. An apparently coaxial deformation domain, on the other hand, is indicated by the rocks occurring in a rather narrow belt fringing, and structurally above, the noncoaxial deformation domain. The rocks are highly feldspathic and coarse-grained gneisses and do not possess any common lineation trend and the effects of simple shear deformation are weak. The quartz c-axis fabrics are symmetrical with respect to foliation and lineation. Moreover, these rocks contain conjugate and mutually interfering shear bands, feldspar/quartz porphyroclasts with long axes parallel to the macrosopic foliation and the related structures/microstructures, suggesting deformation under an approximate coaxial strain path.On moving towards the MCT, the quartz c- and a-axis fabrics become progressively stronger. The c-axis fabric gradually changes from random to orthorhombic and then to monoclinic. In addition, the coaxial strain path gradually changes to the noncoaxial strain path. All this progressive evolution of quartz fabrics suggests more activation of the basal, rhomb and a slip systems at all structural levels across the MCT.     

渤海海域冰水共存期的波能流密度推算

为给寒区海域的波浪能估算提供科学依据,提出一种合理推算冰水共存海域波浪条件及波能流密度的方法,该方法将海冰模型与水动力学模型耦合模拟得到的冰浓度以线性修正函数的方式纳入波浪模型的海面摩阻风速方程中,并基于MCT (model coupling toolkit)耦合器将海冰模型、水动力学模型与波浪模型进行实时耦合。基于该方法模拟了渤海冬季寒潮大风期间的海冰以及波能流密度的演化。模拟结果表明,在2012年2月5~8日寒潮大风期间,结冰区域占到渤海总面积的1/3,约有76%的渤海海域的平均波能流密度受海冰影响减小,其中辽东湾近岸的波能流密度平均受冰影响最多减小了100%,而渤海湾和莱州湾近岸受冰影响最多分别减小了60%和50%。即使是无冰覆盖的老铁山水道,其波能流密度的最大值也受冰影响减少了14%。耦合模拟可以更为准确地对渤海冬季的波能流密度分布进行评估,为波浪能发电厂选址提供依据。     

Polyphase metamorphism and the development of the Main Central Thrust

ABSTRACT Along a cross-section through the Lesser and Higher Himalayan units at the Kishtwar window area (north-west India), a polyphase, Barrovian-type metamorphism has been delineated in relation to the development of the Main Central Thrust (MCT). In the metapelitic mineral assemblages, three metamorphic phases have been distinguished:

• (a) conditions up to amphibolite grade at moderate to high pressures (alm + rut + ilm + kya + qtz) characterize the M₁ phase;
• (b) pressure release and/or temperature increase as a result of movement along the MCT and the formation of gneiss domes in the Higher Himalaya, as expressed by oriented (N70°-100° E) fibrolite, defines the M₂ phase; and,
• (c) finally during uplift of the Kishtwar window area, a retrogressive M₃ phase is characterized by the assemblage quartz-muscovite-chlorite.

Both optically zoned and single-stage garnets have been examined with the electron microprobe to determine their element partitioning. Normal zoning has been found in samples below the MCT in the Lesser Himalaya, indicating prograde growth during the M₂ phase, whereas tectonically above, in the Higher Himalaya unit, the garnets reveal double-stage growth with a complex zoning pattern due to reaction-partitioning during M₁ and M₂ and reverse-zoning at their rims during the retrogressive M₃ phase. Geothermometry on metapelites along a cross-section through the MCT zone and the Higher Himalaya imply distinct readjustments of garnet-biotite exchange equilibria and indicate isothermal conditions (500-600° C) throughout the section during the M₃ retrogression. Pressure calculations (gro-an-kya-qtz and alm-rut-ilm-kya-qtz) suggest a decrease in pressure towards the top of the section (6-7.5 to 4.5-5 kbar), as corroborated by fibrolite replacing kyanite. The spatially inverse metamorphism exposed within the Lesser Himalaya of the Kishtwar window is regarded as a product of polyphase metamorphism combined with ongoing thrusting and shearing and is reflected by condensed M₂ isograds around the Kishtwar window.     

Geometrical analysis of mesoscopic shear zones in the crystalline rocks of MCT zone of Garhwal Higher Himalaya

The crystalline rocks of the MCT Zone of Garhwal Higher Himalaya exhibit well-preserved mesoscopic shear zones. Majority of these shear zones are of ductile and brittle ductile type with both sinistral and dextral sense of movement. Detailed analysis of mesoscopic shear zones reveals that sinistral shear zones exhibit a strike variation from NNE to ENE and dextral shear zones exhibit variation from NNW to WNW directions thus forming a conjugate pair. The bisectors of statistically preferred orientations of the two sets of the shears indicate that they generated due to NNE–SSW horizontal compression. These dextral and sinistral shear zones exhibit strike–slip geometry developed during progressive ductile shearing.

走航式海洋多参数剖面测量系统(moving vessel profiler,MVP)是一种集成程度和自动化程度都较高的海洋调查设备,能对海洋多要素进行同时观测,获得水平方向的高分辨率数据资料。由于温度和电导率传感器响应时间的不匹配,MVP下放速度过快(峰值速度4 m/s)而造成非常明显的盐度尖峰现象。本研究结合Fofonoff(F)法、时间常数指数递归数字滤波(Giles and McDougall,GM)法和Grose提出的盐度尖峰订正方案,提出了一种新的方法,即MCT(match conductivity and temperature response time)法,通过对压力、温度和电导率传感器进行响应时间的匹配来减弱盐度尖峰。将SBE-9型CTD资料作为标准,发现订正后的资料与CTD盐度曲线的互相关系数为0.917,误差比订正前减小80%。对比35°N断面修正前后的盐度资料,订正后温盐跃层处出现的低盐区域消失。MVP的应用比常规海洋调查仪器CTD对于海洋现象的观测更有优势。     

The metamorphism in the Central Himalaya

ABSTRACT All along the Himalayan chain an axis of crystalline rocks has been preserved, made of the Higher Himalaya crystalline and the crystalline nappes of the Lesser Himalaya. The salient points of the metamorphism, as deduced from data collected in central Himalaya (central Nepal and Kumaun), are:

• 1 The Higher Himalaya crystalline, also called the Tibetan Slab, displays a polymetamorphic history with a first stage of Barrovian type overprinted by a lower pressure and/or higher temperature type metamorphism. The metamorphism is due to quick and quasi-adiabatic uplift of the Tibetan Slab by transport along an MCT ramp, accompanied by thermal refraction effects in the contact zone between the gneisses and their sedimentary cover. The resulting metamorphic pattern is an apparent (diachronic) inverse zonation, with the sillimanite zone above the kyanite zone.
• 2 Conversely, the famous inverted zonation of the Lesser Himalaya is basically a primary pattern, acquired during a one-stage prograde metamorphism. Its origin must be related to the thrusting along the MCT, with heat supplied from the overlying hot Tibetan Slab, as shown by synmetamorphic microstructures and the close geometrical relationships between the metamorphic isograds and the thrust.
• 3 Thermal equilibrium is reached between units above and below the MCT. Far behind the thrust tip there is good agreement between the maximum temperature attained in the hanging wall and the temperature of the Tibetan Slab during the second metamorphic stage; but closer to the MCT front, the thermal accordance between both sides of the thrust is due to a retrogressive metamorphic episode in the basal part of the Tibetan Slab.
