Can sediment supply variations create sequences? Insights from stratigraphic forward modelling     

Jinyu Zhang  Peter M. Burgess  Didier Granjeon  Ronald Steel 《Basin Research》2019,31(2):274-289

Classic sequence stratigraphy suggests depositional sequences can form due to changes in accommodation and due to changes in sediment supply. Accommodation‐dominated sequences are problematic to define rigorously, but are commonly interpreted from outcrop and subsurface data. In contrast, supply‐dominated sequences are much less commonly identified. We employ numerical stratigraphic forward modelling to compare stratal geometries forced by cyclic changes in relative sea level with stratal geometries forced by sediment discharge and water discharge changes. Our quantitative results suggest that both relative sea‐level oscillations and variations in sediment/water discharge ratio are able to form sequence‐bounding unconformities independently, confirming previous qualitative sequences definitions. In some of the experiments, the two types of sequence share several characteristics, such as an absence of coastal‐plain topset deposits and stratal offlap, something typically interpreted as the result of falling relative sea level. However, the stratal geometries differ when variations in amplitude and frequency of relative sea‐level change, sediment/water discharge ratio, transport diffusion coefficient and initial bathymetry are applied. We propose that the supply‐dominated sequences could be recognised in outcrop or in the subsurface if the observations of stratal offlap and the absence of coastal‐plain topset can be made without any strong evidence of relative sea‐level fall (e.g. descending shoreline trajectory). These quantitative results suggest that both supply‐dominated and accommodation‐dominated sequences are likely to occur in the ancient record, as a consequence of multiple, possibly complex, controls.  相似文献

Elastic anisotropy and its influencing factors in organic-rich marine shale of southern China     

Liu  Zichun  Zhang  Feng  Li  Xiangyang 《中国科学:地球科学(英文版)》2019,62(11):1805-1818

Shale is observed to have strong anisotropy due to its unique mineralogy and microstructure, and this anisotropy property has significant impact on seismic and well-log data. The organic-rich marine shale in the southern and eastern Sichuan Basin is one of the most important shale-gas reservoir formations in China. To investigate the elastic anisotropy of this shale and its influencing factors, we performed ultrasonic velocity measurements, X-ray diffraction analysis, rock-eval pyrolysis and vitrinite reflectance measurement on the samples from the Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation and the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation. The experimental results show the that:(1) the velocity anisotropy of the Wufeng-Longmaxi(WL) shale varies from 10% to 50%, and most samples have strong anisotropy;(2) the P-and S-wave anisotropy parameters(Thomsen's εand γ) increase with clay contents, but this relationship can be greatly affected by the clay orientation index;(3) organic matter content(OMC) is found to have little influence in seismic anisotropy for the over mature WL shale, whereas the OMC determines the magnitude of anisotropy of immature/mature shales(e.g. the Bakken shale or the Bazhenov shale) according to the published literatures, because organic matters in shales of different maturity have different morphologies and distributions;(4) the OMC of WL shale has positive correlation with quartz content, and this weakens the correlation between OMC and the magnitude of anisotropy to a certain extent. The results of this study provide an important rock-physics basis and data support for seismic anisotropy exploration, quantitative interpretation and resource evaluation of the organic-rich marine shales in southern China.  相似文献   

华北南缘中元古界高山河群碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学及其地质意义^*          下载免费PDF全文

王淼  周洪瑞  张恒 《古地理学报》2020,22(1):39-55

为了探讨华北板块南缘中元古代沉积地层的时代归属和物质来源、区域古地理格局和大地构造特征,对豫西灵宝福地地区的高山河群进行碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学和锆石微量元素特征研究。获得的高山河群年龄最小(年轻)的单颗碎屑锆石 ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb 年龄值为1685±39 Ma,从而限制了高山河群最早沉积年龄不早于1700 Ma。结合上覆的龙家园组年代学标定(1594±12 Ma),将高山河群的形成年代限定为1700—1600 Ma,即中元古代长城纪的中晚期,属国际地质年表的“固结纪”。高山河群中碎屑锆石 ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb 年龄范围为1685—2751 Ma,呈现1850 Ma、2150 Ma、2300 Ma和2500 Ma共4个年龄峰值,对应于华北克拉通古元古代重要的地质事件,并且高山河群以1850 Ma和2500 Ma峰值年龄段的地质体为主要的物源区。根据高山河群与云梦山组碎屑锆石年龄频率对比,推测在豫西地区西侧存在以往报道较少的年龄为2500 Ma的地质体。根据熊耳群火山岩及其对应锆石的地球化学特征和熊耳期盆地动力学性质,并结合高山河群沉积相特征和沉积盆地构造属性,认为熊耳群形成于与“岛弧”共生的拉张性质的弧后盆地地区,而其上覆的高山河群为弧后盆地靠近大陆一侧的具有被动大陆边缘性质的滨浅海沉积。  相似文献

对晋西北地区表层土壤的物质组成进行研究，可以明确其物质来源、沉积环境及化学风化特征。选择区内表层土壤（深度0、10、20 cm）及其附近的河流沉积物，进行粒度和化学元素组成测试。结果表明：（1）晋西北地区表层土壤粒度组成以黏土和粉沙为主，且有自地表向下粗颗粒组分含量增加的趋势。（2）常量化学元素组成以SiO₂、Al₂O₃、CaO、Fe₂O₃为主，其余元素含量均较低。化学元素组成模式表明研究区内表层土壤物质与黄土高原腹地黄土有相同的物质源区，黄河河流沉积物对其贡献不大。（3）晋西北表层土壤的CIA值为52.70~57.89，平均54.06，说明它们的化学风化程度较低，处于早期的脱Na、Ca阶段。这是由于研究区地理位置比洛川更靠北，气温和降水量均低于洛川，降水量与兰州相差不大，但是年平均气温和年温差比兰州低。该研究明确了晋西北地区表层土壤的物质组成特征，为区域潜在沙漠化危害防治提供了数据支撑。  相似文献   

Spatial patch structure and adaptive strategy for desert shrub of Reaumuria soongorica in arid ecosystem of the Heihe River Basin     

Li  Wei  Li  Xiaoyan  Huang  Yongmei  Wang  Pei  Zhang  Cicheng 《地理学报(英文版)》2019,29(9):1507-1526

In many arid ecosystems, vegetation frequently occurs in high-cover patches interspersed in a matrix of low plant cover. However, theoretical explanations for shrub patch pattern dynamics along climate gradients remain unclear on a large scale. This context aimed to assess the variance of the Reaumuria soongorica patch structure along the precipitation gradient and the factors that affect patch structure formation in the middle and lower Heihe River Basin (HRB). Field investigations on vegetation patterns and heterogeneity in soil properties were conducted during 2014 and 2015. The results showed that patch height, size and plant-to-patch distance were smaller in high precipitation habitats than in low precipitation sites. Climate, soil and vegetation explained 82.5% of the variance in patch structure. Spatially, R. soongorica shifted from a clumped to a random pattern on the landscape towards the MAP gradient, and heterogeneity in the surface soil properties (the ratio of biological soil crust (BSC) to bare gravels (BG)) determined the R. soongorica population distribution pattern in the middle and lower HRB. A conceptual model, which integrated water availability and plant facilitation and competition effects, was revealed that R. soongorica changed from a flexible water use strategy in high precipitation regions to a consistent water use strategy in low precipitation areas. Our study provides a comprehensive quantification of the variance in shrub patch structure along a precipitation gradient and may improve our understanding of vegetation pattern dynamics in the Gobi Desert under future climate change.

渤、黄海生态环境模拟的参数敏感度空间差异分析     

罗辰奕  聂红涛  张海彦 《海洋学报》2019,41(8):85-96

随着海洋生态系统模型的发展，生态变量增多，众多生物过程参数量值的确定成为制约生态环境模拟的瓶颈问题，生态系统结构区域性要求模型中的生态参数具有区域差异。为探究不同海区的关键参数及参数敏感度的空间差异，本研究在渤、黄海建立了ROMS-CoSiNE物理–生物耦合的高分辨率生态系统模型，并对13种生态参数的敏感度空间分布进行分析。结果表明:南黄海中部与渤海及近岸海域的敏感度差异较大。渤海敏感度最大的参数为决定光合速率的浮游植物P-I曲线初始斜率，其次为浮游动物捕食半饱和常数和浮游动物最大捕食率。而南黄海中部敏感度最大的参数为浮游动物最大捕食率，其次为浮游植物死亡率和浮游植物P-I曲线初始斜率。结合敏感度分布及浮游植物生物量收支得出，渤海水体透明度较南黄海偏低、浮游植物生长光限制较强，是引起浮游植物P-I曲线初始斜率敏感度在渤海高于黄海的主要原因。浮游动物最大捕食率及浮游植物死亡率的敏感度空间差异，受渤、黄海浮游植物生物量差异的影响，与生态系统中的高度非线性特征有关。  相似文献
