Groundwater mixing in a sand-island freshwater lens: density-dependent flow and stratigraphic controls

This paper focuses on a small back-barrier sand-island on the southeast coast of Queensland. The freshwater lens in the study area exhibits anomalously high short-range salinity gradients at shallow depths, which cannot be explained using a standard seawater intrusion model. The island groundwater system consists of two aquifers: a semiconfined aquifer hosting saline to hypersaline groundwater and an overlying unconfined freshwater aquifer. The deeper aquifer is semiconfined within an incised paleovalley, and groundwater flow is restricted to an east – west direction. Tidal response observations show that the tidal signal propagates far more rapidly and is of much higher magnitude in the semiconfined aquifer than the unconfined aquifer. The tidal wave-pulse amplitude is also subject to greater attenuation in the unconfined aquifer. A conceptual hydrogeological model illustrates how upwelling of hypersaline groundwater, induced by density-dependent flow and tidal pumping, has contaminated the shallow groundwater resource. Salinisation at shallow depths is restricted to an area proximal to the paleovalley aquifer. The spatial distribution of lithological heterogeneity is an initial limiting control on the movement of the upwelling saline plume. The extent of shallow groundwater contamination is also limited by the presence of a baroclinic field, resulting from lateral variations in fluid density. Hydrochemical signatures have been used to support the model hypothesis and link the salinisation of fresh groundwater with the semiconfined aquifer as opposed to the surrounding estuarine surface water. The geometry and thickness of the freshwater lens are further controlled by the presence of the largely impermeable bedrock paleosurface between 9 and 12 m depth. The combination of hypersaline groundwater and hydraulically restrictive lithology at shallow depths has produced excessive thinning of the freshwater lens, demonstrating that the application of a model such as the Dupuit – Ghyben – Herzberg relationship would grossly overestimate the available groundwater resource.     

钱塘江下切河谷充填及其层序地层学特征

钱塘江口是世界著名的强潮型河口湾。平面上呈典型的喇叭状，具明显的三分性：上部的正常河流段、中部的河口湾漏斗、下部的口门带。据沉积作用和沉积相组合，钱塘江河口湾的形成及其发育可以分为四个阶段：（１）末次冰期（２００００－１５０００ａＢ，Ｒ）──下切河谷形成；（２）冰后期早期海侵（１５０００－７５００ａＢ，Ｐ．）─－河口湾充填；（３）最大海侵（７５００－６０００ａＢ．Ｐ．）──海湾形成；（４）海面相对稳定期（６０００ａＢ．Ｐ．至今）──河口湾发育。其间形成了一套完整的海退－海侵进积旋回沉积层序。下切河谷底部的厚度异常的河床相砂砾层，从形成阶段上看，可以分为两个阶段，早期是河流下切的滞留沉积，晚期是基面抬升河流加积作用形成，它们的界限即为初次海泛面。加积作用形成的河床相砂砾层，有别于滞留沉积作用形成的河床相砂砾层，前者具加积副层序组合、向上变细的正粒序，且形成的地质年代较晚。

末次盛冰期长江南京段河槽特征及古流量

根据南京长江大桥、三桥、四桥的地质钻孔资料,绘制南京段长江古河槽地质剖面示意图.对拟建南京长江四桥附近的四个钻孔进行了采样分析,从钻孔沉积物样品的14C年代及阶地形成时间,可以判断,南京段约-60m～-90m的深槽为末次盛冰期时的长江河槽.钻孔揭示,南京段长江古河槽狭窄陡峭,呈V型,在南京长江大桥附近形成局部深切.根据长江三桥、长江大桥附近古深槽断面形态及底部沉积物颗粒级配,选用沙莫夫公式、河海大学公式等,计算了末次盛冰期时河槽底部的泥沙起动流速及断面平均流速.根据流量-流速-过水断面之间的关系式,计算得出末次盛冰期时长江的流量约为12000～16000m3/s.     

Applying regional airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveying to understand the architecture of sandstone-hosted uranium mineral systems in the Callabonna Sub-basin,Lake Frome region,South Australia

The Frome airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey was designed to provide reliable pre-competitive AEM data to aid the search for energy and mineral resources around the Lake Frome region of South Australia. Flown in 2010, a total of 32,317 line kilometres of high-quality airborne geophysical data was collected over an area of 95,450 km² at a flight line spacing mostly of 2.5 km, opening to 5 km spaced lines in the Marree–Strzelecki Desert area to the north. The Lake Frome region hosts a large number of sandstone-hosted uranium deposits with known resources of ～60 000 tonnes of U₃O₈ including the working In Situ Recovery operations at Beverley, Pepegoona, Pannikin and Honeymoon, and deposits at Four Mile East, Four Mile West, Yagdlin, Goulds Dam, Oban, East Kalkaroo, Yarramba and Junction Dam. The aims of the Frome AEM Survey were to map and interpret critical elements of sandstone-hosted uranium mineral systems including basin architecture, paleovalley morphology, sedimentary facies changes, hydrological connections between uranium sources and uranium deposition sites and structures. Interpretations of the data show the utility of regional AEM surveying for mapping crucial elements of sandstone-hosted uranium mineral systems as well as for mapping geological surfaces, structures and depth of cover over a wide area. Data from the Frome AEM Survey allow mineral explorers to put their own high-resolution AEM surveys into a regional context. Survey data were used to map and interpret a range of geological features that are associated with, or control the location of, sandstone-hosted uranium mineral systems and have been used to assess the uranium prospectivity of new areas to the north of the Flinders Ranges.
