This study was undertaken to elucidate the impact of early diagenetic processes on the accumulation of trace metals in Sapelo Island saltmarsh sediments as a function of time, space and sediment properties. Samples were collected from three sites in summer (May 1997) and winter (January 1998) along a transect from an unvegetated Creek Bank through a vegetated Tidal Levee to the vegetated midmarsh with evident lateral heterogeneity caused by hydrologic regime, macrophytes and microbial and macrofaunal activities. A suite of trace metals (As, Ba, Cr, Co, Cu, Cd, Mo, Ni, Pb, Th, Ti, U, V, Zn and Zr) was analyzed to obtain their depth-distribution at the three sites. Spatially marked differences were observed, that were primarily related to hydraulic flushing of trace metals away from the sites in high-energy regimes, rapid downward mixing and reworking of sediment via bioturbation, and below-ground degradation and production of Spartina biomass. Although sulfate reduction and the formation of acid volatile sulfide and pyrite were dominant processes throughout the marsh, the trace metal scavenging role of sulfides was not apparent. However, possible sulfurization of organic matter, leading to enhanced trapping of trace metals with organic carbon, may have played an important role in sequestration of trace metals.No similarity was observed visually between the depth trends of trace metals and sediment properties (grain size, iron-oxyhydroxide content, acid volatile sulfides and pyrite content) that are known to play a major role in trace metal partitioning. Only organic carbon content closely followed the trace metal profiles at all the three sites. Minor variation in depth-integrated sediment trace metal content was observed seasonally at each of the three sites. Furthermore, the depth trend of profiles of individual trace metals also did not vary significantly over the seasons either.  相似文献

气候转型与早期人类迁徙   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

吴文祥  刘东生 《海洋地质与第四纪地质》2001,21(4):103-109

目前的旧石器考古证据表明，更新世早期可能发生了两次人类迁徙浪潮，时间分别在1.8-1.6MaBP和1.0MaBP左右，第一阶段，古人类演化为直立人并开始走出非洲、迁徙至其它中低纬度的热带－亚热带地区；第二阶段，直立人开始占据中高纬度的温带和干旱－半干旱地区。这两个阶段也是第四纪气候发生转型、环境产生重大调整的时期。二者在发生时间上的一致性揭示了它们之间的内在联系，推测气候转型时期环境转变是这两次人类迁徙浪潮的主要驱动力。  相似文献

Early Uplift History of the Tibetan Plateau:Records from Paleocurrents and Paleodrainage in the Hoh Xil Basin     

YI Haisheng  WANG Chengshan  SHI Zhiqiang  LIN Jinhui  ZHU Lidong 《《地质学报》英文版》2008,82(1):206-213

Paleocurrent indicator data collected in field work were used to study the early Cenozoic regional paleodrainage patterns in the Hob Xil basin in northern Tibetan plateau. The paleocurrent directions of the Eocene Fenghuoshan Group obviously show that the flows were northward with a unidirectional dispersal pattern. This probably reflects the uplift of the Qiangtang terrain during the initial basin deposition period and indicates that the Tanggula Moutains occurred as topographic highlands at least in the Eocene. Paleoflows of the Oligocene Yaxicuo Group were dominantly oriented to the north and then flowed eastwards during its late deposition. This regional variability of paleodrainage patterns of the Yaxicuo Group is interpreted to record the dispersal style of sediments from transverse rivers to longitudinal river systems. It is inferred that the Oligocene uplift of the Kunlun Mountains obstructed by northward paleoflows and created longitudinal river systems parallel to the orogenic belts. The temporal and spatial changes of the paleodrainage patterns suggest that the northern boundary of the Tibetan plateau during the early Cenozoic was situated in the Hoh Xil area and its uplift has progressed northwards through time.  相似文献   

鄂尔多斯地块早白垩世构造-热事件:杭锦旗玄武岩的Ar-Ar年代学证据   总被引：8，自引：3，他引：5  

邹和平  张珂  李刚 《大地构造与成矿学》2008,32(3)

在鄂尔多斯地块北部杭锦旗黑石头沟,于下白垩统砂岩之上发现了一层玄武岩。其SiO2(46.93%)较低而碱含量(K2O+Na2O=6.21%)较高,组合指数σ=8.0,含标准矿物Ne,属于碱性橄榄玄武岩。Ar-Ar激光阶段加热定年结果表明,该玄武岩具有126.2±0.4Ma的Ar-Ar年龄。年龄数据表明杭锦旗黑石头沟玄武岩形成于早白垩世,反映鄂尔多斯地块在早白垩世发生了一次构造-岩浆-热事件,这与华北、乃至整个中国东部在早白垩世发生了较普遍的构造-岩浆-热事件具有一致性。这次构造-岩浆-热事件可能引起深部流体自地下深部上涌及在地块内部运移,为各种成矿元素的迁移、沉淀、富集和成矿创造了合适条件。  相似文献   

地震震源与灾害评估分析:中国四川2008年5月12日Ms 8.0汶川地震     

陈胜早 《高校地质学报》2008,14(3)

汶川5月12日8.0级地震在构造上起因于印度板块与欧亚板块以每年约5 cm的速度聚敛,并因此而引起青藏高原的地壳物质向四川盆地及中国东南大陆运移.主震震源及余震活动集中于以龙门山为中轴的一条长约350 km、宽约100 km的地震活动带.震源深度一般分布丁地壳脆性-韧性转换边界以上约10～20 km区间的地壳震源层之中,属浅源构造地震.主要震源机制与龙门山构造运动方式密切相关,以其地壳厚度向西急剧加厚、重力梯度带、高波速比(Vp/Vs～2.2)等深部异常及逆冲断层兼具走滑性质的地质构造为特征.在震源辐射、路径传播和场地效应研究的基础上,分别计算并比较了岩石和土壤条件下的地震响应谱,特别强调了土壤条件下的场地放大效应;同时对与地震安全性有关的一些问题如地质灾害、地震频谱设计、地震早期预警系统及中、长期至短期地震预报等进行了探讨;特别提供了一个由加权平均计算、以岩石条件下震波衰减模式为基础的地震频谱设计参考实例.地震构造与动力学研究可融人工程地质与环境工程等学科发展.经历汶川地震考验的一些新近设计和建设的工程项目可为今后改进工程建筑规范与标准提供重要而有益的参考.地震预报是当今一大难题,但需探索研究,不可懈怠.地震减灾与预防足目前比较切合实际的安全举措.  相似文献   

武夷山南段前寒武纪浅变质岩系的划分与时代     

张利民 《地层学杂志》1996,20(1):16-22

武夷山南段前寒武纪地层分布较广。从下至上分为楼子坝群、丁屋岭组、南岩组和黄连组。过去因缺乏可靠的微古植物化石证据和同位素地质年龄资料,对其时代归属分歧颇大。为此,作者对该区的前寒武系进行了系统的微古植物取样、分析,参考最近的Nd同位素模式年龄资料,认为:楼子坝群为前震旦系,大致相当于蓟县系与青白口系;丁屋岭组为下震旦统;南岩组和黄连组为上震旦统;江西东南部的"下寒武统炭质板岩"应归入老虎塘组,属上震旦统。  相似文献

“地震预警”法律概念的构成及延展     

李一行  陈华静 《中国地震》2021,37(3):641-648

“地震预警”法律概念是讨论和规范地震预警相关行为的基础,也是地震预警立法首先要明确的问题。目前,国家层面尚未制定专门的地震预警法律法规,地方已经颁布的管理办法中对“地震预警”法律概念的规定也不完全一致。随着地震预警立法进程的不断推进,“地震预警”法律概念的确定和统一愈发重要和迫切。“地震预警”法律概念应涵括其技术属性和社会属性,秉持完整规范、避免歧义的原则,将时间、空间、机理和影响等要素排列组合而成。为深入理解这一概念,本文还讨论了发布主体、预警客体、技术服务、法律责任等地震预警法律规范的基本内容。  相似文献
