应用NOAA提供的1950～2008年月平均500 hPa高度场再分析资料、海表温度、太平洋年代际振荡(PDO)指数和大西洋三极模(ATM)指数, 研究了20世纪70年代末前后北半球冬季对流层遥相关的时空演变规律。相关分析、Mann-Kendall分析和凝聚小波分析的结果表明, 20世纪70年代末以来, 太平洋—北美(PNA)型、欧亚(EUP)型、西太平洋(WP)型和西大西洋(WA)型四种遥相关空间分布和时间演变产生较为显著的变化。空间分布的变化既体现在遥相关正、负异常中心的强度上, 也体现在正、负异常的范围上; 时间演变方面的变化则体现在PNA和WP遥相关指数具有上升趋势, EUP和WA遥相关指数具有一定下降趋势。20世纪70年代末以来, 影响北半球冬季5种遥相关型的海温关键区均有所改变。其中, 各大洋上影响EUP遥相关型的海温关键区面积显著缩小, 影响WA遥相关型的太平洋海温关键区面积显著缩小, 影响EA遥相关型海温关键区在北大西洋中南部改变明显; 在16年以上时间尺度上, PDO变化是造成北半球冬季PNA、 EUP、 WP三种遥相关型变化的主要原因; ATM变化是造成北半球冬季WA和EA两种遥相关型变化的主要原因。  相似文献

2009和2010年夏天沿藏北高原高寒草地样带调查了高寒草地生态系统(高寒草甸、高寒草原和荒漠草原)在围栏禁牧和自由放牧管理下的物种丰富度和多样性(Shannon-Wiener指数,Simpson优势度指数和Pielou均匀度指数)。研究结果显示:自2006年起藏北高原围栏禁牧在植被类型和区域尺度上没有显著改变物种丰富度和多样性。物种丰富度和多样性主要受生长季降水驱动,超过87%的变异可由生长季降水来解释。物种丰富度和多样性在自由放牧和围栏禁牧2类样地对生长季降水的响应方式一致。物种丰富度随降水呈指数型增长关系,多样性指数则呈现正线性关系。研究结果预示藏北高原地区生长季降水的变化对于物种丰富度和多样性管理至关重要,在未来高寒草地保护研究中应予以重视。  相似文献   

Major, trace and REE geochemistry of the Ganga River sediments: Influence of provenance and sedimentary processes   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Pramod Singh   《Chemical Geology》2009,266(3-4):251-264

The sediments of the Ganga River from different depositional regimes in the Plain region such as the river channel, active flood-plain and the older flood-plain sediments from the inter-fluve region were analysed for major, trace and the rare earth elements (REEs). These are compared with catchment zone sediments of the river and probable source rocks in the Himalaya. The lower CIA values between 48 and 54.7 for the catchment sediments indicates that the sediments supplied to the Ganga Plain are chemically immature and subjected mostly to physical weathering due to higher erosion rates in the Himalaya. The CIA values ranging between 55 and 74, with average value of 59, 61.4 and 67 for sediments from the Plain's bed-load, active flood-plain and older flood-plain from the inter-fluve region indicates that silicate weathering of Ganga River sediments has occurred only after entering into the plains. This is likely because of higher residence time and change in the climate from cold-frigid in the Himalaya to tropical sub-humid in the plains. Therefore, the use of geochemical data on ancient system to infer climate in their source region may not always be true. Although the CIA values indicate a moderate chemical weathering in the plains, it is far from impressive. Dominance of physical weathering in the catchment region and lower degree of chemical weathering in the Plains indicate that weathering of sediments supplied by Himalayan Rivers, particularly the Ganga River may not have affected the atmospheric CO₂ to a significant level as is generally believed. Thus the net effect of the Himalaya on the CO₂ sequestration and consequent global cooling needs a re-evaluation.The plots of sediments in ternary diagram among La, Th, Sc and ratios involving Co/Th, La/Sc and Sc/Th indicate granitic to granodioritic source rocks to the sediments. The ratio plots involving relatively immobile Al₂O₃, TiO₂ and FeO along with REE plots suggest that out of the major Himalayan lithologies, gneisses and Cambro-Ordovician granites of HHCS have acted as the dominant source to the sediments.The plots of LogNa₂O/K₂O vs. LogSiO₂/Al₂O₃ and FeO/SiO₂ vs. Al₂O₃/SiO₂ diagrams show that the combination of processes including erosion, weathering, sorting and aeolian activity has together played a major role in progressively changing the chemistry from source rock to catchments bed-load to Plains bed-load, active flood-plains and the older inter-fluve sediments in the Ganga River system. The above plots demonstrate that as a result of above processes the ratios between the elements generally thought to be immobile and used in provenance studies does not always remain invariant and the linear trend line in the scatter gram between the two immobile elements show rotation around the fine grained end member.  相似文献   

NEHRP soil classification and estimation of 1-D site effect of Dehradun fan deposits using shear wave velocity     

A.K. Mahajan   《Engineering Geology》2009,104(3-4):232-240

Shear wave velocity of the near surface soil at nearly 50 sites in the sub Himalayan mountain exit covering Doon fan deposits, was determined using Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW), a seismic reflection technique. Based on the average shear wave velocity of the upper 30 m soil column, sites in the Dehradun fan are predominantly classified as class ‘D’ (180–360 m/s). Similarly, sites located on the northwestern, eastern and southeastern sides of the fan deposit have shear wave velocities (in the upper 30 m soil) greater than 360 m/s, thereby classifying them as class ‘C’ (360–760 m/s) in accordance with NEHRP provisions. Some of the sites towards the southwestern side of the fan deposits had average shear wave velocities less than 180 m/s and could be classified as soil class ‘E’. One dimensional site effects, including amplification and dynamic period were calculated for the majority of the sites. However, some of the representative suite of sites across the north–south profile of Dehradun fan has been discussed here. Although the attenuation is greater on the southwestern side of the Dehradun fan deposits (i.e. thicker, low velocity sediments) and the sites had been classified as class ‘D’ and ‘E’ but the site amplification tends to be greater in the northern and northwestern part of the city due to large impedance contrast with in the near surface soils.  相似文献   

Geomorphic positioning and depositional dynamics of river systems in Lower Siwalik basin,Kumaun Himalaya     

U. K. Shukla  D. S. Bora  C. K. Singh 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2009,73(3):335-354

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of river systems in the Lower Siwalik sequence has enabled characterization of channel patterns, river metamorphosis and resulting sandstone body evolution in time and space. Processes related six lithofacies repeat to generate 8–10 m thick multistoried sandstone complexes deposited in perennial channel belts. Based on lateral mapping of the sandstone bodies, the surfaces of genetic significance ranging from 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th order, suggest presence of meandering, braided and anastomosing river patterns that were responsible for the Lower Siwalik sedimentation. Variation in local base-level in response to allogenic factors including climate and tectonics forced river systems to acquire different patterns. Eustasy seems to control large-scale basin level changes. Quantitatively reconstructed morphological parameters and their comparison with modern and ancient analogues, supported by other independent evidences such as stratigraphical position of sandstone bodies in vertically measured columns and mineralogical characteristics of channel sandstones, enabled to decipher the geomorphic positioning of the Lower Siwalik channels in distal parts of megafan and interfluve areas within the foreland basin setting.  相似文献   

Litho-tectonic sequence and their regional correlation along the Lohit and Dibang valleys,eastern Arunachal Pradesh     

D. K. Misra 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2009,73(2):213-219

Geological mapping between Lohit and Dibang valleys of eastern Arunachal Pradesh reveals the existence of five thrust bound tectonostratigraphic units. In ascending structural order from SW to NE these are: (1) Sewak Group, (2) Lalpani Group, (3) Mayodiya Group, (4) Tidding Formation and (5) Lohit plutonic complex. This differs from previous mapping, because the three tectonostratigraphic units (Sewak, Lalpani and Mayodiya) were grouped under a single unit, referred as the Mishmi crystallines. The low-grade metamorphics of the Sewak Group occur at two different tectonic levels, one as persistent belt in the foothills and the other in the tectonic window beneath the high-grade metamorphics of the Mayodiya thrust sheet in the Higher Himalaya. The Tidding suture is the southeastern extension of the Indus-Tsangpo suture zone.  相似文献   

Multiple cosmogenic nuclides document complex Pleistocene exposure history of glacial drifts in Terra Nova Bay (northern Victoria Land, Antarctica)     

Luigia Di Nicola  Stefan Strasky  Maria Cristina Salvatore  Peter W. Kubik  Haino Uwe Kasper  Carlo Baroni 《Quaternary Research》2009,71(1):83-149

Geomorphological and glacial geological surveys and multiple cosmogenic nuclide analyses (¹⁰Be, ²⁶Al, and ²¹Ne) allowed us to reconstruct the chronology of variations prior to the last glacial maximum of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) and valley glaciers in the Terra Nova Bay region. Glacially scoured coastal piedmonts with round-topped mountains occur below the highest local erosional trimline. They represent relict landscape features eroded by extensive ice overriding the whole coastal area before at least 6 Ma (pre-dating the build-up of the Mt. Melbourne volcanic field). Since then, summit surfaces were continuously exposed and well preserved under polar condition with negligible erosion rates on the order of 17 cm/Ma. Complex older drifts rest on deglaciated areas above the younger late-Pleistocene glacial drift and below the previously overridden summits. The combination of stable and radionuclide isotopes documents complex exposure histories with substantial periods of burial combined with minimal erosion. The areas below rounded summits were repeatedly exposed and buried by ice from local and outlet glaciers. The exposure ages of the older drift(s) indicate multiple Pleistocene glacial cycles, which did not significantly modify the pre-existing landscape.  相似文献   

Mud volcano eruptions and earthquakes in the Northern Apennines and Sicily, Italy   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Marco Bonini   《Tectonophysics》2009,474(3-4):723-735

The relations between earthquakes and the eruption of mud volcanoes have been investigated at the Pede–Apennine margin of the Northern Apennines and in Sicily. Some of these volcanoes experienced eruptions or increased activity in connection with historical seismic events, showing a good correlation with established thresholds of hydrological response (liquefaction) to earthquakes. However, the majority of eruptions have been documented to be independent of seismic activity, being mud volcanoes often not activated even when the earthquakes were of suitable magnitude and the epicentre at the proper distance for the triggering. This behaviour suggests that paroxysmal activity of mud volcanoes depends upon the reaching of a specific critical state dictated by internal fluid pressure, and implies that the strain caused by the passage of seismic waves can activate only mud volcanoes in near-critical conditions (i.e., close to the eruption). Seismogenic faults, such as the Pede–Apennine thrust, often structurally control the fluid reservoirs of mud volcanoes, which are frequently located at the core of thrust-related folds. Such an intimate link enables mud volcanoes to represent features potentially suitable for recording perturbations associated with the past and ongoing tectonic activity of the controlling fault system.  相似文献   

Isotopic features of rivers and groundwater of the Parma Province (Northern Italy) and their relationships with precipitation     

P. Iacumin  G. VenturelliE. Selmo 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》2009

The Enza, Parma, Baganza, Taro and Po rivers and several waters from aquifers of the area of the Parma town (northern Italy) have been investigated for oxygen and hydrogen isotopes. Enza, Parma, Baganza and Taro differ from Po in having higher isotope ratios and the Taro River exhibits an isotope ratio higher than those of Enza, Parma and Baganza. The low values of Po are due to the dominant contribution of waters coming from glaciers and precipitation occurring along the Alps. The high values of the Taro River are probably due to the fact that its catchment basin extends close to the Tyrrhenian sea and is well opened to perturbations coming from the west. The isotopic values of the present day precipitations occurring along the northern Apennine piedmont area are lower than in rivers. On the contrary, the rivers resemble waters issuing from springs located close the Apennine ridge; the isotopic values of the last waters probably approach those in the precipitation occurring at present along the Apennine ridge. Reasonably, the low isotope values recorded in precipitation of the Apennines piedmont area are due to cold air masses invading the Po plain from N or NE rather than only to the change in the regime of precipitation (higher amount in cold periods, lower amount in the hot periods). Waters of the aquifer of the Po plain have been investigated in the Priorato, Parola and Parma fields (Parma Province). The aquifers are largely fed by the surface hydrographic system: their waters have constant isotopic composition and resemble waters of the Apennines rivers. They are also isotopically similar to the average precipitation occurring from 1995 to 2006, but differ largely from recent (2003–2005) precipitation. Minor isotopic variations recorded in a well of the Priorato field suggest that this well is partly fed by local precipitation.  相似文献

在构造沉降史恢复的基础上确定拉张期次,再采用非瞬时非均匀多期拉张纯剪切模型恢复南海北部深水区新生代热流史,结果表明：始新世以来,南海北部深水区存在多期热流升高的加热事件。裂谷阶段盆地基底热流幕式升高,裂后阶段也并非完全处于热衰减期。琼东南盆地新生代存在56.5～32 Ma、32～16 Ma和5.3 Ma以来3期加热事件,珠江口盆地存在56.5～32 Ma和32～23.3 Ma两期加热事件。琼东南盆地深水区基底热流始新世末为56～62 mW/m2; 早中新世末上升到60～64 mW/m2; 上新世末在深断陷区最高达75mW/m2。珠江口盆地深水区基底热流始新世末升高到60 mW/m2; 渐新世末升高到70 mW/m2。深水区新生代裂谷阶段多期拉张决定了基底热流幕式升高的多期加热事件,琼东南盆地晚期加热事件与红河走滑断裂在10～5 Ma时由左旋走滑转变为右旋走滑拉张有关。  相似文献
