There are thousands of seeps in the deep ocean worldwide; however, many questions remain about their contributions to global biodiversity and the surrounding deep‐sea environment. In addition to being globally distributed, seeps provide several benefits to humans such as unique habitats, organisms with novel genes, and carbon regulation. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are unique seep macrobenthic assemblages, by comparing seep and nonseep environments, different seep habitats, and seeps at different depths and locations. Infaunal community composition, diversity, and abundance were examined between seep and nonseep background environments and among three seep habitats (i.e., microbial mats, tubeworms, and soft‐bottom seeps). Abundances were higher at seep sites compared to background areas. Abundance and diversity also differed among microbial mat, tubeworm, and soft‐bottom seep habitats. Although seeps contained different macrobenthic assemblages than nonseep areas, infaunal communities were also generally unique for each seep. Variability was 75% greater within communities near seeps compared to communities in background areas. Thus, high variability in community structure characterized seep communities rather than specific taxa. The lack of similarity among seep sites supports the idea that there are no specific infauna that can be used as indicators of seepage throughout the northern Gulf of Mexico, at least at higher taxonomic levels.  相似文献   

Prediction of the South China Sea Dipole Using SSA-MEM     

Qiong Xia  Enbo Wei 《大气与海洋》2018,56(4):240-253

ABSTRACT

A dipole structure appears in the sea surface height off the central coast of Vietnam during boreal summer in the South China Sea. This dipole, which possesses a chlorophyll signature associated with higher phytoplankton concentrations arising from nutrient upwelling, is important for the productivity of local fisheries. Multi-satellite sea level anomalies are used to investigate the life cycle of the dipole structure. By applying empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis, the third EOF mode (EOF 3) is found to represent the major variations of the dipole structure. By removing the temporal noise of EOF 3, a South China Sea dipole index is defined. This index captures the life cycle of the dipole including its generation, mature strength, and final termination. Both one-dimensional and two-dimensional forecasts are generated using a statistical forecasting method that combines singular-spectrum analysis and the maximum entropy method. The appearance of the dipole structure can be predicted with an accuracy of 78% at one-month lead times and an accuracy of 61% at one-year lead times.  相似文献   

Evaluation of clayed silt properties on the behavior of hydrate production in South China Sea     

《China Geology》2020,3(3):362-368

Gas hydrate is one kind of potential energy resources that is buried under deep seafloor or frozen areas. The first trial offshore production from the silty reservoir was conducted in the South China Sea by the China Geological Survey (CGS). During this test, there were many unique characteristics different from the sand reservoir, which was believed to be related to the clayed silt physical properties. In this paper, simulation experiments, facilities analysis, and theoretical calculation were used to confirm the hydrate structure, reservoir thermo-physical property, and bond water movement rule. And the behavior of how they affected production efficiency was analyzed. The results showed that: It was reasonable to use the structure I rather than structure II methane hydrate phase equilibrium data to make the production plan; the dissociation heat absorbed by hydrate was large enough to cause hydrate self-protection or reformation depend on the reservoir thermal transfer and gas supply; clayed silt got better thermal conductivity compared to coarse grain, but poor thermal convection especially with hydrate; clayed silt sediment was easy to bond water, but the irreducible water can be exchanged to free water under high production pressure, and the most obvious pressure range of water increment was 1.9–4.9 MPa.  相似文献

利用新三维地震资料对松南-宝岛凹陷反转构造带发育特征、形成期次进行研究，并从构造背景及力学机制两个方面探讨反转构造的成因机制。研究结果表明，松南-宝岛凹陷反转构造带主要发育一系列"上凸下凹"的大型褶皱背斜，伴生NWW向弱走滑断裂构造和NNW向张剪构造。反转构造及其伴生构造符合NEE右旋剪切应力场特征，形成时间与东沙运动一致，表明该反转构造带可能受晚中新世南海东北部东沙运动产生的右旋走滑应力场作用控制。反转构造有利于研究区圈闭的重建和改造，对琼东南盆地东部新区油气运移和重新优选分配的认识，具有重要的油气地质意义。  相似文献

董友扣  马家杰  王栋  RANDOLPH Mark 《海洋工程》2019,37(5):141-147

深海滑坡可以沿着斜坡搬运大量沉积物,是危害巨大的海洋地质灾害之一。评估深海滑坡的流滑机制并量化分析其对海底结构物的冲击对海洋资源的开发利用至关重要。采用物质点法对滑坡的滑动特性进行了总应力分析。设计了三组不同的土体、海床参数,展现了三种不同的滑动形态:延展、块体和扩张。随后复现了流滑体对部分暴露管线的冲击过程,并对冲击力的稳定值进行了分析,分析中考虑了流滑体的惯性、抗剪强度和静压力的影响。研究表明,物质点法能够用于模拟深海滑坡的流滑过程及其对海底结构物的冲击,可以为海洋工程中的实际设计工作提供服务。  相似文献

涂宽  文强  谌华  于飞  谷鑫志 《遥感学报》2019,23(2):243-251

地质构造信息对地质矿产调查具有重要意义,野外实测和光学遥感等常规手段在一些地表浅覆盖区获取的地质构造信息十分有限,而合成孔径雷达(SAR)对地表具有一定的穿透性,在探测地表浅层覆盖区域的地质构造特征中具有独特优势。利用高分三号(GF-3)全极化影像,在典型的地表浅层覆盖区域,开展了断裂构造等信息的解译探索,提出了一种地表浅覆盖区域地质构造解译的新方法。首先对西藏改则、林芝、贵阳、北京千家店等4个研究区内的断裂构造和环带构造进行分析;接着,提出了GF-3全极化影像用于浅覆盖区地质解译的处理流程,通过引入DEM数据对GF-3影像进行地形校正,充分利用微地形微地貌特征,并采用不同极化方式的RGB合成,增强了影像的判读性,并进行地质构造解译;最后,将解译结果与1∶5万实测数据进行对比,断层的位置和方向与实测结果基本一致,同时获取了大量野外实测未能探明的浅覆盖层以下的断层信息,进一步丰富了研究区的地质构造信息。结果表明,GF-3全极化影像可用于浅覆盖区的地质构造解译,并且具有野外实测和光学遥感等常规手段所不能替代的独特优势。  相似文献
