Curie Point Depths Beneath Precordillera Cuyana and Sierras Pampeanas Obtained from Spectral Analysis of Magnetic Anomalies

A gravity and magnetic survey has been carried out with the purpose of investigating geophysical features of the crusts beneath three geological provinces in western Argentina: Cuyo Precordillera, the Sierras Pampeanas of San Juan and La Rioja, and Famatina System, the results of which are displayed in three maps: Bouguer anomaly, total field magnetic anomaly and total field reduced to the pole.

The top and bottom boundaries of the magnetized crust were calculated from power-density spectra of the total-field anomalies from our terrestrial database in 90 2D windows. The depths obtained for the bottom of magnetized crust are assumed to correspond to Curie point depths. The values thus obtained for the Precordillera range between 29 and 40 km, whereas for the Sierras Pampeanas, in the Sierra de Pie de Palo, and other mountain chains along the Bermejo-Desaguadero lineament or Valle Fértil lineament, such depth ranges between 20 and 35 km. These results are consistent with Curie point depths determined on different continental regions in the world.

A map of regional heat flow has been prepared in the present work based on the depth of the Curie point isotherm, which shows that heat flow patterns in Precordillera are different from those found in Sierras Pampeanas.

A significant heat flow extending in Northeast-Southwest direction seems to be directly related to Juan Fernández Ridge trace.

The results of the present investigations also point out a possible relationship between the base of the magnetized crust and the boundary separating the brittle from the ductile crustal regime.     

The terrestrial fauna of the Late Triassic Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry fissures,South Wales,UK and a new species of Clevosaurus (Lepidosauria: Rhynchocephalia)

Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry in South Wales yielded a rich cache of fossils in the early 1950s, including articulated specimens of new species (the small sauropodomorph dinosaur Pantydraco caducus and the crocodylomorph Terrestrisuchus gracilis), but no substantial study of the wider fauna of the Pant-y-ffynnon fissure systems has been published. Here, our overview of existing specimens, a few described but mostly undescribed, as well as freshly processed material, provides a comprehensive picture of the Pant-y-ffynnon palaeo-island of the Late Triassic. This was an island with a relatively impoverished fauna dominated by small clevosaurs (rhynchocephalians), including a new species, Clevosaurus cambrica, described here from a partially articulated specimen and isolated bones. The new species has a dental morphology that is intermediate between the Late Triassic Clevosaurus hudsoni, from Cromhall Quarry to the east, and the younger C. convallis from Pant Quarry to the west, suggesting adaptive radiation of clevosaurs in the palaeo-archipelago. The larger reptiles on the palaeo-island do not exceed 1.5?m in length, including a small carnivorous crocodylomorph, Terrestrisuchus, and a possible example of insular dwarfism in the basal dinosaur Pantydraco.     

中国大陆余震活动深度分布及其流变学机制

本文研究了中国大陆１９６６年以来发生的５次大地震（Ｍｓ≥７．０）的余震活动深度与地热流的关系。研究表明，地热流较高的震源区，余震活动深度分布较浅，并且得出余震深度分布受地壳内部岩石脆性－韧性转变深度的流变学特征控制的推论。

辽西火山岩型金矿地质特征及成因讨论

辽西火山岩型金矿分布在中生代陆相火山盆地边缘活动带内,受辽西弧形构造带控制,为火山期后热液矿床,可初步划分为3种成因类型:次火山(斑岩)热液型(二道沟式),火山—次火山热液型(红石砬子式)和爆发角砾岩型(水泉式),成矿作用与中酸性火山—次火山岩关系密切,成矿时代为燕山期(90—110Ma)。稳定同位素研究结果表明,含矿热液为富含挥发组份和多金属成矿元素的富金水溶液,来源于地壳深部或上地幔,即高温热卤水对镁铁质、超镁铁质岩石长期侵蚀、淋滤和溶解,获取大量的金属成矿元素,在不透水层之下形成深部液态矿源层。     

基于LS-DYNA海底悬空管道受坠物碰撞动力响应分析

基于ANSYS/LS-DYNA动力学分析软件,采用非线性动力有限元法,对坠物撞击海底管道的过程进行数值仿真。通过大量的数值模拟得出:相同坠落物能量的情况下,悬空管道的凹陷损伤深度与裸露管道的相比偏小,且随着坠落物能量的增加,其差值增大;随着坠落物速度、坠落物质量的增大,管道撞击部位凹陷变形加剧,海底管道悬空段的最大振动幅值增大;相同坠落物能量的情况下,坠落物与悬空管道的接触面积越小,悬空管道的损伤深度越大;海床土体参数(剪切弹性模量、内摩擦角、密度)的变化对悬空管道的凹陷损伤深度及悬空段的最大振动幅值的影响较小。

海城、盖州地区地震震源机制及一致性参数特征研究

本文选取辽宁海城、 盖州地区(40°~41°N, 122°~123°E)作为研究区, 利用广义极性振幅技术(GPAT)方法, 反演得到研究区2012—2017年6月共184个地震震源机制解, 并利用Misfit角度分析震源机制一致性参数特征。 研究结果表明: ① 研究区地震震源机制解以走滑型和正断型为主。 海城地区地震震源机制解以NW—SE向节面的左旋走滑型和NWW向节面的正断型为主。 发震构造以NW向海城河断裂为主, NE向节面为主的地震可能受到NE向金州断裂带的控制。 ② 青石岭地区的发震构造为与九寨—盖县北段共轭的NW向未知断裂, 西海域的地震活动可能是NE向的雁式断裂和NW向共轭的未知断裂共同作用的结果。 ③ 震源机制一致性结果显示, 一致性增强后发生了震级相对较大的地震。 研究区的震源机制一致性较强, 表明该区域的应力较为集中。 但由于2016年以来活动趋于平静, 尚难以根据震源机制解一致性程度做出当前应力状态的判断。     

塔里木河下游胡杨气体交换特性及其环境解释

结合塔里木河下游不同地下水埋深下胡杨的气体交换参数及其环境因子的实测结果,探讨地下水位及环境因子对胡杨光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔导度(gs)、水分利用效率(WUE)等气体交换参数的影响规律。研究表明:随着地下水位下降,胡杨净光合速率和蒸腾速率日变化最大值提前,地下水埋深越深,净光合速率“双峰”曲线趋势越明显,地下水位4.37 m以上时,蒸腾速率呈“双峰”曲线,当地下水位下降到5.91 m时,蒸腾速率呈“单峰”曲线;低地下水埋深下,光合作用受抑制的主要原因是气孔限制;随着地下水位下降,光合抑制的主要原因则是非气孔限制;适度水分胁迫有利于提高胡杨水分利用效率\.同时,结果显示: 4 m为胡杨的合理生态水位,地下水位为4~5 m时,胡杨受到轻度水分胁迫,低于6 m,胡杨受水分胁迫加剧。
