本文系统研究了地层水盐度对微生物菌生长发育的制约，矿化度对生物气在地层水中溶解度的影响，泥岩盖层中高矿化度地层水对封盖性能的控制作用。柴达木盆地三湖（台吉乃尔湖，涩聂湖，达布逊湖）地区主要受南缘昆仑山冰雪溶水的补给，地层水从南向北运移，北斜坡第四系地层水的矿化度最高，北斜坡泻水-汇水区高盐度条件下生物菌的活跃程度受到抑制，影响生物气大量生成并从水中游离出来，中央凹陷及其南部低矿化度条件下更适宜生物气的生成，生物气在地层水中的溶解度随矿化度的增高明显降低，南缘低矿化度水中饱含的生物气经地层水从南向北携带，在北斜坡高矿化度条件上大量游离出来，实验测试证明泥岩饱和高矿化度地层水时，其突破压力增加约100倍，封盖性能大大提高，有效地保存了北斜坡游离相生物气，研究显示生物气总体上具有向北斜坡以水溶气方式进行横向运聚的特征，展示了北斜坡气源补给充足，具有满坡含气的巨大勘探潜力。结合生物气本身的发育特征和三湖地区的水文地质条件，提出了生物所首先以水溶气方式发生远距离的横向运移以后再以游离相进行垂向运聚成藏，这一结论对下一步三湖地区生物气勘探具有直接的指导意义。  相似文献   

Crustal contamination of mafic magmas: evidence from a petrological, geochemical and Sr–Nd–Os–O isotopic study of the Proterozoic Isortoq dike swarm, South Greenland

The mid-Proterozoic Isortoq dike swarm in the Gardar Province, South Greenland, comprises a variety of alkaline rocks ranging from gabbroic to syenitic in composition. Major magmatic mineral phases are olivine, clinopyroxene, Fe–Ti oxides, amphibole, plagioclase and alkali feldspar. Quartz occurs in some samples as a late magmatic phase. Liquidus temperatures of olivine-bearing samples range between 1120 and 1145 °C and solidus temperatures are 850–930 °C. Calculated silica activities are highly variable between 0.53 and unity. Oxygen fugacities vary from −3 to +1 log units relative to the fayalite–magnetite–quartz buffer.

The rocks have MgO contents <6 wt.% with Mg# between 53 and 17. Primitive mantle-normalized trace element patterns show a relative enrichment of LIL elements with Ba peaks and Nb troughs. Clinopyroxenes show a general enrichment in REE relative to chondritic values with variable slightly positive to prominent negative Eu anomalies. Two of the dikes were dated with Sm–Nd three-point isochrons at 1190±44 and 1187±87 Ma, respectively. Initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of mafic mineral separates range from 0.70289 to 0.70432 and initial _Nd values vary from +0.3 to −10.7. Whole-rock initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios are highly variable including very radiogenic values of up to 7.967. δ¹⁸O_v-smow values of separated clinopyroxene and amphibole range from +5.2‰ to +6.2‰ and fall within the range of typical mantle-derived rocks, although mixing with a lower crustal component is permitted by the data. Using energy-constrained assimilation-fractional crystallization (EC-AFC) modeling equations, the Sr–Nd isotope data of the more radiogenic samples can successfully be modeled by addition of up to 10% lower crustal granulite-facies Archean gneisses as contaminants. The Os isotopic data also suggest the involvement of old radiogenic crust. In accordance with seismic data, we conclude that a wedge of Archean crust extends from West Greenland further to the south below the present erosion level.  相似文献   

The use of ultra-sound in the preparation of carbonate and clay sediments for chironomid analysis     

Barbara Lang  Alan P. Bedford  Nigel Richardson  Stephen J. Brooks 《Journal of Paleolimnology》2003,30(4):451-460

Initial investigations of Holocene carbonate sediment from Hawes Water, Northwest England, yielded lower numbers of chironomid head capsules than anticipated. Standard techniques used to prepare sediment for chironomid analysis were ineffective in breaking up the coarse crystalline sediment structure sufficiently. This led to large amounts of sediment being retained and increased sample processing times. The low yield of head capsules also meant that more sediment was needed to produce adequate numbers of head capsules for analysis. The use of ultra-sound as part of the sediment processing was investigated. This technique reduced the amount of sediment left for sorting and yielded significantly more head capsules which were of equivalent structural condition and cleaner than those produced by conventional methods. The technique was extended to clay samples where similar results were obtained although shorter treatment times are recommended. The proportion of Tanytarsini and Tanypodinae heads increased significantly in carbonate and clay samples, respectively; both sediment types showed a significant decline in the proportion of Chironomini. The results indicate that ultra-sonic preparation of samples will yield a more accurate representation of chironomid assemblages in sediments leading to greater sensitivity and reliability in analysing past environmental conditions.  相似文献   

Vla and Spacecraft Observations of Solar Activity     

Kenneth R. Lang  Robert F. Willson 《Surveys in Geophysics》1998,19(6):521-555

We describe the world's largest synthesis radio telescope, the Very Large Array (VLA), and how it can be used to complement observations with the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and the Yohkoh solar spacecraft. The VLA provides images with high spatial and temporal resolution, often across the visible solar disk. The VLA also detects nonthermal radiation that is not observed with SOHO and Yohkoh, and provides estimates for the coronal magnetic field strengths that are not directly measured by these spacecraft. The VLA data can be combined with SOHO CDS, SOHO EIT, or Yohkoh SXT observations to provide new insights to the compact, variable sources, called blinkers and bright points, in the solar transition region or low corona. A new 400 cm VLA system provides images of nonthermal burst activity associated with Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), and may detect thermal emission from CMEs, that can be compared with SOHO's LASCO and EIT instruments to obtain new information about the origin and evolution of CMEs.  相似文献   

Xenolith evidence for lithospheric melting above anomalously hot mantle under the northern Canadian Cordillera   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Lang Shi  Don Francis  John Ludden  Andrew Frederiksen  Michael Bostock 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1998,131(1):39-53

A comparison of mantle xenolith suites along the northern Canadian Cordillera reveals that the xenoliths from three suites exhibit bimodal populations whereas the xenoliths from the other four suites display unimodal populations. The bimodal suites contain both fertile lherzolite and refractory harzburgite, while the unimodal suites are dominated by fertile lherzolite xenoliths. The location of the three bimodal xenolith suites correlates with a newly discovered P-wave slowness anomaly in the upper mantle that is 200 km in width and extends to depths of 400–500 km (Frederiksen AW, Bostock MG, Van Decar JC, Cassidy J, submitted to Tectonophysics). This correlation suggests that the bimodal xenolith suites may either contain fragments of the anomalously hot asthenospheric mantle or that the lithospheric upper mantle has been affected by the anomalously hot mantle. The lherzolite xenoliths in the bimodal suites display similar major element compositions and trace element patterns to the lherzolite xenoliths in the unimodal suites, suggesting that the lherzolites represent the regional lithospheric upper mantle. In contrast, the harzburgite xenoliths are highly depleted in terms of major element composition, but their clinopyroxenes [Cpx] have much higher incompatible trace element contents than those in the lherzolite xenoliths. The major element and mildly incompatible trace element systematics of the harzburgite and lherzolite xenoliths indicate that they could be related by a partial melting process. The lack of textural and geochemical evidence for the former existence of garnet argues against the harzburgite xenoliths representing actual fragments of the deeper anomalous asthenospheric mantle. Furthermore, the calculated P-wave velocity difference between harzburgite and lherzolite end-members is only 0.8%, with the harzburgites having higher P-wave velocities. Therefore the 3% P-wave velocity difference detected teleseismically cannot be produced by the compositional difference between the lherzolite and harzburgite xenoliths. If temperature is responsible for the observed 3% P-wave velocity perturbation, the anomalous mantle is likely to be at least 200 °C higher than the surrounding mantle. Taken together these data indicate that the refractory harzburgite xenoliths represent the residue of 20–25% partial melting of a lherzolite lithospheric mantle. The incompatible trace element enrichment of the harzburgites suggests that this melting was accompanied by the ingress of fluids. The association of the bimodal xenolith suites with the mantle anomaly detected teleseismically suggests that anomalously hot asthenospheric mantle provided both the heat and volatiles responsible for the localized melting and enrichment of the lithospheric mantle.

Mars as never seen before     

Ernst Hauber  Gerhard Neukum 《Astronomy& Geophysics》2004,45(2):2.21-2.27

Images from the High Resolution Stereo Camera on Mars Express reveal the surface of the Red Planet in unprecedented detail – and should have the whole planet mapped at high resolution in just two years. Over the next six pages, Ernst Hauber and Gerhard Neukum set the scene and reveal some of the spectacular images already captured.

Earth's free core nutation determined using C032 superconducting gravimeter at station Wuhan/China     

He-Ping Sun  Gerhard Jentzsch  Jian-Qiao Xu  Hou-Ze Hsu  Xiao-Dong Chen  Jiang-Cun Zhou 《Journal of Geodynamics》2004,38(3-5):451

The long series tidal gravity observations from 1997 to 2002 recorded with C032 superconducting gravimeter (SG) at station Wuhan/China are used in order to study the Earth's geodynamics. The tidal gravity parameters are determined precisely using Eterna software package after careful data pre-processing. The Earth's free core nutation (FCN) resonant parameters (eigenperiods, quality factors and resonant strengths) are determined accurately. The results show the determined eigenperiod to be 431.0 sidereal days with an accuracy of ±1.81%, the quality factor is a negative one as of −7002, and the resonance strength can be explained by the elastic property of the Earth's mantle. The discrepancy of the eigenperiods when using various ocean models can amount to ±1.8%. The 30 sidereal days difference between the determined eigenperiod in this paper and the one in theoretical computation given by Wahr and Bergen can be explained by the real dynamic ellipticity of the Earth's liquid core, i.e., it is about 5% larger than the one under the hydrostatic equilibrium assumption.  相似文献   

Mechanisms of compaction of quartz sand at diagenetic conditions   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

J.S Chester  S.C Lenz  F.M Chester  R.A Lang   《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》2004,220(3-4):435-451

The relative contribution of cracking, grain rearrangement, and pressure solution during experimental compaction of quartz sand at diagenetic conditions was determined through electron and optical microscopy and image analysis. Aggregates of St. Peter sand (255±60 μm diameter grain size and porosity of approximately 34%) were subjected to creep compaction at effective pressures of 15, 34.5, 70, and 105 MPa, temperatures of 22 and 150°C, nominally dry or water-saturated (pore fluid pressure of 12.5 MPa) conditions, and for times up to one year. All aggregates displayed transient, decelerating creep, and volume strain rates as low as 2×10⁻¹⁰ s⁻¹ were achieved. The intensity of fracturing and degree of fragmentation increase with volume strain and have the same dependence on volume strain at all conditions tested, indicating that impingement fracturing and grain rearrangement were the main mechanisms of compaction throughout the creep phase. The increase in fracture density and decrease in acoustic emission rate at long times under wet conditions reflect an increase in the contribution of subcritical cracking. No quantitative evidence of significant pressure solution was found, even for long-term creep at 150°C and water-saturated conditions. Comparison of our findings to previous work suggests that pressure solution could become significant at temperatures or times somewhat greater than investigated here.  相似文献
