南海西部陆坡海域海底广泛发育麻坑,其规模和数量在世界范围内均属罕见,但关于它们目前的活动特征尚不清楚。通过对西沙隆起西南部麻坑区采集的两根沉积柱样孔隙水SO^2–4、K^＋、Mg^2＋、Ca^2＋、Sr^2＋以及溶解有机碳（DIC）含量随深度的变化特征的研究,揭示麻坑内与硫酸根消耗有关的生物地球化学过程,并推断麻坑目前的活动状况。采集于麻坑外的C9柱样SO^2–4浓度变化整体呈向下凹的形态降低,减少的硫酸根是被有机质硫酸盐还原作用消耗。采集于麻坑内的C14柱样SO^2–4浓度梯度呈现明显的三段式变化,0.00-0.66 m内SO2–4浓度变化主要受有机质硫酸盐还原作用控制,0.66-3.70 m受有机质硫酸盐还原和甲烷缺氧氧化共同控制,3.70 m以下部分主要受甲烷缺氧氧化作用的影响。根据C14柱样3.7 m以下孔隙水硫酸根浓度梯度计算的硫酸根-甲烷交接带（SMI）约在14.3 m处,甲烷向上扩散的通量约为0.0144 mol/（m^2·a）。此外,2个柱样沉积物孔隙水的Ca^2＋浓度均随深度明显降低,而Mg2＋浓度略微降低,主要与自生碳酸盐矿物沉淀有关。C14的Mg/Ca和Sr/Ca随深度变化指示该柱样沉积物中自生碳酸盐岩矿物主要为高镁方解石。2个柱样的孔隙水地球化学特征显示目前研究区麻坑活动不活跃, C14麻坑中含甲烷流体发生微弱渗漏,可能处于麻坑活动的衰落期。  相似文献

海底地貌是海水覆盖下的固体地球表面形态的总称。海底地貌巨变往往与海底地质灾害息息相关,会对海底管线和海上平台等海洋工程设施造成危害,因而对海底地貌进行原位观测具有重要意义。本研究基于前人研究成果和团队常年自主研发仪器经验,研制出了剖面声呐海底微地貌原位观测系统,详细介绍了观测系统的组成、功能、工作原理和工作模式,并提出了观测数据的处理分析方法;然后,使用观测系统进行了标志物检验实验,通过将观测系统测量数据与其他设备测量数据相对比,验证了观测系统的可行性和数据准确性;最后,使用观测系统在舟山海域朱家尖滑坡区进行原位观测,进一步验证了观测系统的可行性。观测结果进一步表明剖面声呐观测系统可以用于海底微地貌的观测研究。  相似文献

Research Progress of Seafloor Pockmarks in Spatio-Temporal Distribution and Classification     

XU Cuiling  XU Guoqiang  XING Junhui  SUN Zhilei  WU Nengyou 《中国海洋大学学报(英文版)》2020,19(1):69-80

Seafloor pockmarks are important indicators of submarine methane seepages and slope instabilities.In order to promote the understanding of submarine pockmarks and their relationship with sediment instabilities and climate changes,here we summarize the research results of pockmarks in the spatio-temporal distributions and shaping factors.Most of pockmarks occur along active or passive continental margins during the last 25 kyr B.P..Circular and ellipse are the most common forms of pockmarks,whereas pockmarks in a special crescent or elongated shape are indicators of slope instabilities,and ring-shape pockmarks are endemic to the gas hydrate zones.Further researches should be focused on the trigger mechanism of climate changes based on the pockmarks in the high latitudes formed during the deglaciation periods,and the role of gas hydrates in the seafloor evolution should be elucidated.In addition,the feature of pockmarks at their early stage(e.g.,developing gas chimneys and gas driving sedimentary doming)and the relations between pockmarks and mass movements,mud diapirs could be further studied to clarify the influences of rapid methane release from submarine sediments on the atmospheric carbon contents.  相似文献

In the late Miocene, giant ancient pockmarks, which are fairly rare globally, developed in the Qiongdongnan Basin. In this paper, to determine the sedimentary characteristics and genetic mechanism of these giant ancient pockmarks in the Yinggehai Formation of the Qiongdongnan Basin, based on high-resolution 3D seismic data and multiattribute fusion technologies, we analyzed the planar distribution and seismic facies of the ancient pockmarks and compared the characteristics of the ancient pockmar...  相似文献   

波浪作用下斜坡上单桩周围海床孔隙水压力响应特性试验研究     

郑余伟  程永舟  李典麒  黄筱云  吕行 《海洋通报》2023,(3):343-351

单桩基础周围斜坡海床中的波致孔隙水压力响应与纯斜坡海床存在较大差异。为了解不同波高、波周期条件下,单桩基础周围波浪传播变形及其对斜坡海床孔压振荡响应的影响,在波浪水槽末端铺设了长6 m、坡度1∶16的斜坡砂床进行试验。通过改变桩身位置和波浪参数,测量斜坡段各处波面形态,采集单桩周围孔隙水压力,分析了桩身位置及波浪参数对斜坡海床孔压响应的影响。结果表明：相同入射波条件下,随距坡脚水平距离增加,波高、近底流速和桩周孔隙水压力幅值都随之增大;桩周孔隙水压力幅值分布规律为：桩前孔压幅值明显大于桩侧与桩后孔压幅值。当Keulegan-Carpenter数大于6时,随着波高和波周期增大,马蹄涡产生的负压区使得桩侧海床孔隙水压力与纯斜坡海床孔隙水压力差值迅速增加。  相似文献   

Storm-induced turbidity currents on a sediment-starved shelf: Insight from direct monitoring and repeat seabed mapping of upslope migrating bedforms

The monitoring of turbidity currents enables accurate internal structure and timing of these flows to be understood. Without monitoring, triggers of turbidity currents often remain hypothetical and are inferred from sedimentary structures of deposits and their age. In this study, the bottom currents within 20 m of the seabed in one of the Pointe-des-Monts (Gulf of St. Lawrence, eastern Canada) submarine canyons were monitored for two consecutive years using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers. In addition, multibeam bathymetric surveys were carried out during deployment of the Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers and recovery operations. These new surveys, along with previous multibeam surveys carried out over the last decade, revealed that crescentic bedforms have migrated upslope by about 20 to 40 m since 2007, despite the limited supply of sediment on the shelf or river inflow in the region. During the winter of 2017, two turbidity currents with velocities reaching 0·5 m sec⁻¹ and 2·0 m sec⁻¹, respectively, were recorded and were responsible for the rapid (<1 min) upstream migration of crescentic bedforms measured between the autumn surveys of 2016 and 2017. The 200 kg (in water) mooring was also displaced 10 m down-canyon, up the stoss side of a bedform, suggesting that a dense basal layer could be driving the flow during the first minute of the event. Two other weaker turbidity currents with speeds <0·5 m sec⁻¹ occurred, but did not lead to any significant change on the seabed. These four turbidity currents coincided with strong and sustained wind speed >60 km h⁻¹ and higher than normal wave heights. Repeat seabed mapping suggests that the turbidity currents cannot be attributed to a canyon-wall slope failure. Rather, sustained windstorms triggered turbidity currents either by remobilizing limited volumes of sediment on the shelf or by resuspending sediment in the canyon head. Turbidity currents can thus be triggered when the sediment volume available is limited, likely by eroding and incorporating canyon thalweg sediment in the flow, thereby igniting the flow. This process appears to be particularly important for the generation of turbidity currents capable of eroding the lee side of upslope migrating bedforms in sediment-starved environments and might have wider implications for the activity of submarine canyons worldwide. In addition, this study suggests that a large external trigger (in this case storms) is required to initiate turbidity currents in sediment-starved environments, which contrasts with supply-dominated environments where turbidity currents are sometimes recorded without a clear triggering mechanism.  相似文献

以某近海大桥引桥段连续梁桥为工程背景,建立考虑海底地震动特性和腐蚀效应的近海桥梁地震反应分析模型。采用增量动力分析方法分析腐蚀效应以及海底地震动作用对近海桥梁地震响应的影响。研究结果表明:腐蚀效应与海底地震动作用都会不同程度影响近海桥梁结构的抗震性能。其中:腐蚀效应会增大近海桥梁的破坏指标,降低最大墩底剪力和弯矩值,从而降低桥梁的抗震性能;海底地震动作用会增大近海桥梁的破坏指标及最大墩底剪力、弯矩值;在2种因素耦合作用下,桥梁的抗震性能将会进一步降低。  相似文献   

An experimental study on microscopic characteristics of gas-bearing sediments under different gas reservoir pressures     

Zhenqi Guo  Tao Liu  Lei Guo  Xiuting Su  Yan Zhang  Sanpeng Li 《海洋学报(英文版)》2021,40(10):144-151

Gas-bearing sediments are widely distributed in five continents all over the world. Most of the gases exist in the soil skeleton in the form of discrete large bubbles. The existence of gas-phase may increase or decrease the strength of the soil skeleton. So far, bubbles’ structural morphology and evolution characteristics in soil skeleton lack research, and the influence of different gas reservoir pressures on bubbles are still unclear. The micro characteristics of bubbles in the same sediment sample were studied using an industrial CT scanning test system to solve these problems. Using the image processing software, the micro variation characteristics of gas-bearing sediments in gas reservoir pressure change are obtained. The results show that the number and volume of bubbles in different equivalent radius ranges will change regularly under different gas reservoir pressure. With the increase of gas reservoir pressure, the number and volume of tiny bubbles decrease. In contrast, the number and volume of large bubbles increase, and the gas content in different positions increases and occupies a dominant position, driving the reduction of pore water and soil skeleton movement.  相似文献
