喜马拉雅山脉新生代差异隆升的裂变径迹热年代学证据

裂变径迹年龄资料记录的雅鲁藏布江以南的喜马拉雅山脉的冷却年龄具有明显的时空差异性。在南北方向上,特提斯喜马拉雅的冷却年龄主要在8 Ma以前,局部为5.0~2.6 Ma,而高喜马拉雅的冷却年龄集中在5 Ma以后,大多数在3 Ma以来;在东西方向上体现在喜马拉雅东西构造结之间的高喜马拉雅带上,东喜马拉雅的不丹东部区域的裂变径迹热年代学数据揭示了8.0~3.0 Ma的冷却剥露的历史;东喜马拉雅的不丹西部区域为7.0~1.4 Ma;中喜马拉雅的尼泊尔地区为5.0~0.2 Ma;西喜马拉雅的印度西北部地区为3.0~1.0 Ma。最年轻的裂变径迹年龄显示出由中间向两侧增大,反映了地质晚近时期东西构造结间的高喜马拉雅山脉的剥露幅度由中间向两边减弱的趋势,揭示了以中喜马拉雅为隆升中心向两边拓展的趋势。综合有关裂变径迹年代学资料表明,喜马拉雅山脉的隆升主要发生在中新世以来,其表现为18~11 Ma、9 Ma以来的两个快速隆升期。喜马拉雅山脉隆升的动力体制可能由早期的挤压隆升—中新世的伸展隆升—上新世以来构造隆升为主,局部气候作用和构造作用耦合的山脉隆升机制。     

裂变径迹热年代学对西藏卓奥友峰藏南拆离系活动时间的约束

引入裂变径迹方法研究藏南拆离系(STDS)的活动历史。通过青藏高原喜马拉雅卓奥友峰5个锆石和4个磷灰石样品的裂变径迹实验,分别获得11.2~17.1 Ma和12.4~14.3 Ma的年龄范围。年龄温度法计算得到中新世时期洛子峰拆离断层在卓奥友峰地区剥蚀作用逐渐增强的结论：(1)17.1~15.2 Ma地壳冷却速率较慢,约为37.8 ℃/Ma;(2)15.2~13.5 Ma地壳冷却速率为82.4 ℃/Ma,并且在14.3 Ma左右构造活动最强烈,达到峰值;(3)13.5~12.4 Ma地壳冷却速率可达100 ℃/Ma。     

西藏南部康巴穹隆剥露历史分析：来自低温热年代学的证据

造山带穹隆构造记录了陆-陆碰撞及其碰撞后地壳和地表演化过程的信息,是探讨造山带构造演化的重要窗口。康巴穹隆位于藏南特提斯喜马拉雅地区,是北喜马拉雅片麻岩穹隆带(NHGD)的组成部分,其剥露过程及其动力学机制仍然存在争议。通过对康巴穹隆核部花岗片麻岩开展锆石U-Pb、锆石裂变径迹(ZFT)年代学研究和三维数值模拟,获得了康巴穹隆的锆石U-Pb年龄为497.89±1.2Ma,锆石FT年龄(17~11 Ma)明显小于锆石U-Pb结晶年龄,说明这些径迹年龄是岩体冷却抬升形成的。Pecube三维数值模拟对穹窿核部样品的ZFT数据进行反演显示,康巴穹隆核部岩体自中新世以来经历15.9~11.4Ma和ca. 4.2Ma两次快速剥露,结合区域构造演化,提出第一次快速剥露与藏南拆离系(STDS)的活动有关,第二次快速剥露是对气候变化过程的响应。     

喜马拉雅造山带亚东地区晚新生代剥露历史及其构造意义：来自磷灰石和锆石(U- Th)/He数据的约束

喜马拉雅造山带中部亚东地区位于藏南拆离系与南北向裂谷交汇处，是研究青藏高原南北向伸展和东西向伸展构造体制转换的关键地区，该地区新生代构造变形与冷却剥蚀过程对理解青藏高原的隆升历史和深部- 浅部动力学机制具有重要意义。本文对亚东地区开展两个剖面的磷灰石和锆石(U- Th)/He低温热年代学以及QTQt热史模拟分析，结果显示亚东地区大喜马拉雅结晶岩系剖面的10个磷灰石(U- Th)/He年龄分布范围为11.23~4.87 Ma，亚东- 谷露裂谷剖面的锆石和磷灰石(U- Th)/He年龄分别介于9.02~6.48 Ma和8.63~6.13 Ma。综合区域热年代学资料提出亚东地区大喜马拉雅结晶岩系自中新世以来经历了两期快速冷却事件：第一期为中新世中期(16~11 Ma)，由藏南拆离系（哲古拉拆离断层）伸展拆离作用控制的快速冷却，11 Ma前后冷却速率的明显转折变化指示了剥蚀驱动机制的转变，高原伸展体制开始向东西向伸展转换；第二期为中新世晚期到上新世(10~5 Ma)，期间存在由于亚东- 谷露裂谷伸展活动而导致的构造剥露，产生了9~6 Ma极快速冷却，平均冷却速率为290 ℃/Ma，约束了亚东- 谷露裂谷的启动时间为10 Ma左右。沿亚东藏南拆离系向南剖面上，磷灰石(U- Th)/He年龄数据总体呈现“老—新—老”的变化趋势，暗示了经历过部分熔融的大喜马拉雅结晶岩系通过中下地壳渠道流侧向挤出。综合已有的大喜马拉雅结晶岩系的结晶、冷却年代数据，提出大喜马拉雅结晶岩系的剥蚀冷却过程呈现多阶段和不等速特征，即存在25~11 Ma、10~5 Ma以及约3 Ma以来三个主要快速冷却阶段，受控于区域构造活动或者气候剧烈变化。     

哀牢山-红河剪切带渐新世的构造体制转换与剥露历史:来自哀牢山南段磷灰石裂变径迹的证据

哀牢山-红河剪切带是东南亚重要的构造边界,其记录了青藏高原东南缘新生代以来的陆内变形和地貌演化。本次研究对该剪切带哀牢山南段开展了基于LA-ICPMS法测试的磷灰石裂变径迹低温年代学分析。磷灰石裂变径迹年龄数据和热史反演模拟揭示哀牢山段存在晚始新世-早中新世(40～20Ma)的快速剥露事件,而早中新世(大约20Ma)之后处于稳定的慢速剥露过程。磷灰石裂变径迹年龄-海拔分布曲线特征暗示:快速剥露机制存在差异,早期阶段(40～26Ma)的剥露过程受控于伸展为主的左旋走滑体制影响;晚阶段(26～20Ma)的快速剥露归因于简单剪切为主的左旋走滑剪切体制,上述结果暗示哀牢山-红河构造带在晚渐新世发生了一次重要的构造体制转换,即从走滑伸展变形转换为简单剪切变形。哀牢山杂岩带北段、中段、南段冷却路径对比,表明北-中段可能存在两阶段快速冷却作用,而南段只发生单一快速冷却作用;结合青藏高原东南缘低温热年代学数据,暗示自中-晚中新世,青藏高原中、下地壳物质可能向东南缘扩展,并已到达哀牢山中段,同时诱发哀牢山杂岩带以北广大地区的抬升和快速冷却。     

嘉黎断裂带两侧晚新生代差异隆升的磷灰石裂变径迹纪录

对嘉黎断裂带两侧的磷灰石裂变径迹年代学测试表明,断裂带北侧的磷灰石裂变径迹年龄在5.6~11.7Ma之间,属中新世晚期;断裂带南侧的磷灰石裂变径迹年龄明显较小,6个样品中有5个样品的磷灰石裂变径迹年龄在4.0~5.9Ma之间,属上新世早期.嘉黎断裂带北侧5.6~11.7Ma期间的隆升速率为0.07~0.09mm/a.5.8Ma以来平均剥露速率为0.50mm/a,平均隆升速率1.33mm/a.断裂带南侧4.7Ma以来平均剥露速率为0.62mm/a,平均隆升速率1.68mm/a.两侧样品都反映上新世以来有较强烈的隆升作用,并且南侧比北侧隆升作用更强烈.     

藏南定结地区喜马拉雅造山带新生代的隆升剥蚀历史及其地质意义

本文利用裂变径迹方法研究藏南定结地区喜马拉雅造山带新生代的隆升和剥露过程,并探讨内动力和外动力地质作用共同塑造地貌形态的耦合性。由于构造活动的阶段性,可能导致大喜马拉雅结晶岩系（GHC）的冷却剥蚀在构造强烈时期主要由构造活动控制,在构造活动平静期主要与外动力地质作用密切相关。在定结地区的GHC选取两个剖面进行磷灰石裂变径迹（AFT）研究,剖面高程跨度为3 800～4 500 m,其年代学结果范围为11～2 Ma,揭示了中新世以来经历了3 个阶段的冷却剥蚀历史。不同的冷却剥蚀阶段具有不同的驱动力,中新世晚期11 Ma左右的隆升剥蚀阶段,主要是由构造活动驱动;7～3 Ma的缓慢冷却剥蚀阶段,构造活动趋于平静,主要与区域内的河流侵蚀作用密切相关;上新世晚期3 Ma以来较快速的冷却剥蚀阶段,以河流侵蚀为主的外动力作用加强。定结GHC在3 Ma以来冷却剥蚀速率迅速增强,并且驱动力主要为外动力地质作用,暗示了GHC经历了中新世强烈的构造隆升之后已经确定了现有地貌格局,在3 Ma已达到显著高度。     

札达盆地碎屑裂变径迹揭示的盆山耦合过程

札达盆地是中新世9.5 Ma以来发育的新生代沉积盆地.沉积厚度、砾石成分和古流向分析显示札达盆地新生代沉积的物源主要来自盆地北部的阿伊拉日居山系.札达盆地系列样品碎屑锆石裂变径迹年龄结构显示存在两个明显的峰值年龄区间, 分别为12.6~15.3 Ma(P1峰值年龄)与19.8~22.2 Ma(P2峰值年龄).锆石裂变径迹年龄的滞后时间(lag time)与沉积时代对比分析显示, P1和P2峰值年龄为快速冷却事件的静态峰, 与北部阿伊拉日居地区基岩U-Pb年代研究揭示的热事件时间具有良好的可对比性.因此, 札达盆地碎屑裂变径迹年龄两个峰值年龄区间记录了源区阿伊拉日居的两次构造事件, 可能对应于喀喇昆仑断裂在中新世的两次强烈的构造活动.综合碎屑锆石、磷灰石裂变径迹年龄信息, 估算源区在32.6~9.5 Ma之间的平均冷却速率是15.4 ℃/Ma, 上新世末期—第四纪(3.6~1.4 Ma)之间再次发生了一次快速的隆升剥露事件.札达盆地中新生代沉积地层碎屑裂变径迹热年代学结构与喀喇昆仑断裂东南段阿伊拉日居的热事件年龄格局吻合, 从碎屑裂变径迹年代学角度揭示了造山带地区的盆山耦合过程.      

冈底斯构造带西段帮布勒铅锌铜矿床的剥露和保存：来自裂变径迹热年代学的证据

帮布勒铅锌铜矿床是近年在冈底斯构造带西段新发现的大型矽卡岩型矿床。采用低温热年代学方法,揭示帮布勒矿区的冷却和剥露历史,评估矿床保存情况,完善冈底斯构造带西段隆升剥露记录。结果显示,石英斑岩磷灰石裂变径迹年龄为24±2～32±3 Ma(1σ),记录了矿区在渐新世时的冷却和剥露时间。热演化历史模拟表明,帮布勒矿区存在3期冷却事件：Ⅰ始新世—渐新世晚期(48～24 Ma),冷却速率为4.56～10.64℃/Ma,与印度-欧亚大陆碰撞及碰撞后的地壳增厚有关;Ⅱ渐新世晚期—中新世中期(24～14 Ma),冷却速率为0.38～1.9℃/Ma,与印度俯冲板块折返、断离有关;Ⅲ中新世中期至今(14 Ma至今),冷却速率为2.28～9.88℃/Ma,与冈底斯构造带发育的南北向裂谷有关;其中5 Ma时,与冈底斯构造带普遍隆升有关。帮布勒矿区自始新世以来的剥露厚度为1.5～2.5 km,典中组火山岩的覆盖为矿床保存至今起到了保护作用。     

青藏高原西北缘高原面与陡坡地貌形成过程的裂变径迹热年代学约束

对青藏高原西北缘高原内部和陡坡地貌带2个花岗岩体10件磷灰石裂变径迹年龄测定表明,高原内部大红柳滩—郭扎错逆冲断裂上盘磷灰石裂变径迹年龄为24.8±4.9～14.0±1.3Ma,此外,一个玄武岩烘烤的热事件年龄为7.9±0.8Ma;而陡坡地貌带的西昆仑中间逆冲断裂上盘的磷灰石裂变径迹年龄为2.9±0.5～0.9±0.3Ma。进一步的热历史模拟结果显示,高原内部自渐新世以来经历了2期隆升-剥露,分别是渐新世—早中新世(30～16Ma)和上新世以来(≤5Ma),而陡坡带只记录了晚中新世以来(≤8Ma)的隆升-剥露,暗示他们经历了不同的热演化历史。结合前人在该区的磷灰石裂变径迹年龄数据和野外地质现象,认为现今高原边缘陡坡地貌带可能是自晚中新世以来(≤8Ma)高原边界断裂伴有向塔里木盆地后展式叠瓦逆冲产生的构造抬升的结果;现今高原面有可能是由高原边界断裂系于大约5～2Ma以来强烈活动逐渐形成的,其隆升-剥蚀幅度>2000～3000m。这对自晚中新世以来青藏高原西北缘高原面与陡坡地貌形成过程提供了磷灰石裂变径迹热年代的重要约束。     

Wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometric determination of Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in komatiites

Komatiites are mantle-derived ultramafic volcanic rocks. Komatiites have been discovered in several States of India, notably in Karnataka. Studies on the distribution of trace-elements in the komatiites of India are very few. This paper proposes a simple, accurate, precise, rapid, and non-destructive wavelength-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometric technique for determining Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in komatiites, and discusses the accuracy, precision, limits of detection, x-ray spectral-line interferences, inter-element effects, speed, advantages, and limitations of the technique. The accuracy of the technique is excellent (within 3%) for Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th and very good (within 4%) for Y. The precision is also excellent (within 3%) for Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th. The limits of detection are: 1 ppm for Sc and V; 2 ppm for Cr, Co, and Ni; 3 ppm for Cu, Zn, Rb, and Sr; 4 ppm for Y and Zr; 6 ppm for Nb; 10 ppm for Ba; 13 ppm for Pb; and 14 ppm for Th. The time taken for determining Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in a batch of 24 samples of komatiites, for a replication of four analyses per sample, by one operator, using a manual WDXRF spectrometer, is only 60 hours.     

高压微波消解法测定醋酸纤维过滤器采集的微尘粒子中的砷镉钴铬铜铁锰镍铅钒锌

最新的流行病学研究表明,空气中较高浓度的悬浮细颗粒可能对人类的健康有不利的影响。根据该项研究显示,由于心脏病、慢性呼吸问题和肺功能指标恶化而导致死亡率的升高与细尘粒子有关。这些研究结果已经促使欧盟于1999年4月出台了限制空气中二氧化硫、二氧化氮、氧化氮、铅和颗粒物含量的法案(1999/30/EC),对各项指标包括对可吸入PM10颗粒的浓度提出了新的限制性指标。PM10颗粒是指可以通过预分级器分离采集的气体动力学直径小于10μm的细颗粒。目前研究的兴趣重点逐步偏向PM2.5这些更细微颗粒物,PM2.5这种颗粒物对健康有明显的不利影响。在欧盟指令2008/50/EC中,对PM10和PM2.5都提

Isotopic systematics of He,Ar, S,Cu, Ni,Re, Os,Pb, U,Sm, Nd,Rb, Sr,Lu, and Hf in the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits

This paper reports the first results of a study of 11 isotope systems (³He/⁴He, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar, ³⁴S/³²S, ⁶⁵Cu/⁶³Cu, ⁶²Ni/⁶⁰Ni, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, ^206–208Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, Hf–Nd, U–Pb, and Re–Os) in the rocks and ores of the Cu–Ni–PGE deposits of the Norilsk ore district. Almost all the results were obtained at the Center of Isotopic Research of the Karpinskii All-Russia Research Institute of Geology. The use of a number of independent genetic isotopic signatures and comprehensive isotopic knowledge provided a methodic basis for the interpretation of approximately 5000 isotopic analyses of various elements. The presence of materials from two sources, crust and mantle, was detected in the composition of the rocks and ores. The contribution of the crustal source is especially significant in the paleofluids (gas–liquid microinclusions) of the ore-forming medium. Crustal solutions were probably a transport medium during ore formation. Air argon is dominant in the ores, which indicates a connection between the paleofluids and the atmosphere. This suggests intense groundwater circulation during the crystallization of ore minerals. The age of the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits was determined. The stage of orebody formation is restricted to a narrow age interval of 250 ± 10 Ma. An isotopic criterion was proposed for the ore-bearing potential of mafic intrusions in the Norilsk–Taimyr region. It includes several interrelated isotopic ratios of various elements: He, Ar, S, and others.     

Viscous, cohesive, non-Newtonian, depositing, radial slurry flow

Mining induced subsidence can significantly affect mining costs where major surface facilities and natural environment need to be protected. Overburden grout injection is a technology used to control coal mine subsidence by injecting the mine waste material extracted from the coal back into the inter-burden rock during longwall mining. The flowing slurry is here categorised as a nonlinear viscous cohesive (Bingham plastic) fluid. During longwall mining the grout slurry is pumped into the separated beds of the rock mass through a central vertical borehole, which is drilled deep into the inter-burden rock strata above the coal seam. However, a blockage can occur in the injection system when the slurry velocity falls below a certain critical threshold velocity, indicating a material phase change from cohesive-viscous to cohesive-frictional. In situ field injection tests through boreholes have been simulated at a smaller scale at the CSIRO laboratory in Brisbane by pumping the slurry through a radial disk (gap = 4 mm) from its centre. Laboratory experiments indicate a general, nonlinear, cohesive, viscous, frictional model for shear behaviour of the slurry, in which the material shear parameters are functions of the disk radial distance. Complete dimensional and dimensionless analytical solutions have been developed based on an approach related to Bingham–Herschel–Bulkley fluid mechanics. The derived formulae include relations for minimum pump pressure, local pressure and pressure gradient, wall shear stress, volume rate, velocity and velocity gradient. The theoretical results match the experimental measurements. The experiments covered slurries with maximum particle sizes of 0.5 to 2 mm with about 50% being larger than 100 µm. The viscosities at the various solids concentrations were measured with a standard torsion viscometer. This study differs from the previous research in several distinct aspects, namely, consideration of the variable shear parameters rather than fixed values, inclusion of total nonlinear behaviour, and implementation of a friction function to mimic behaviour of the deposited and consolidating stiff slurry, which can cause a significant pressure rise as a result of the increased shear resistance.

Bellechester,Minnesota, USA,lagoon collapses

Bellechester, Minnesota, is a small community of approximately 155 residents located on the county line between Goodhue and Wabasha counties in southeast Minnesota's karst region. Bellechester is served by a 21-year-old wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) consisting of three waste-stabilization ponds. On 28 April 1992 six sinkholes were discovered to have drained cell 2 of the WWTF resulting in the loss of approximately 8.7×10⁶ 1 of partially treated effluent and about 600 m³ of soil into previously undetected subsurface voids of unknown dimensions. In the week following the collapse, approximately 200 water wells located within a 5-km radius of the WWTF were sampled in an after-the-fact, emergency sampling program. Twelve samples with elevated fecal coliform levels, 18 samples with nitrate-nitrogen greater than the 10 mg/1 standard, and no samples with elevated chlorides were found. However, the elevated levels could not be unambiguously attributed to the WWTF collapse. This is the third WWTF to fail by sinkhole collapse in southeast Minnesota since 1974. All three collapsed lagoons have been located in similar geomorphic and stratigraphic settings. However, at least two lagoons have collapsed in the adjacent area in northeast Iowa, and these lagoons are located at different stratigraphic positions. Twenty-two WWTFs constructed in southeast Minnesota's karst region in the last 25 years have been identified as subject to potential sinkhole collapse. An unknown but significant number of manure storage lagoons, flood control structures, etc., have also been constructed in the karst region and are at risk. Public agencies are beginning to develop plans to deal with the risk associated with existing and future waste lagoons in this environment. The critical hydrogeologic parameters that can be used to prioritize the risk of collapse at existing facilities include: (1) the lithology of the first bedrock beneath each lagoon, (2) the thickness of surficial materials between the lagoon and the bedrock surface, (3) the presence and construction of liners (seepage rate), and (4) the proximity to existing sinkholes.     

Mercury,arsenic, antimony,and selenium contents of sediment from the Kuskokwim River,Bethel, Alaska,USA

The Kuskokwim River at Bethel, Alaska, drains a major mercury-antimony metallogenic province in its upper reaches and tributaries. Bethel (population 4000) is situated on the Kuskokwim floodplain and also draws its water supply from wells located in river-deposited sediment. A boring through overbank and floodplain sediment has provided material to establish a baseline datum for sediment-hosted heavy metals. Mercury (total), arsenic, antimony, and selenium contents were determined; aluminum was also determined and used as normalizing factor. The contents of the heavy metals were relatively constant with depth and do not reflect any potential enrichment from upstream contaminant sources.     

滇东南花岗岩与锡、银、铜、铅、锌多金属矿床的成因关系

滇东南锡、银、铅、锌多金属矿床主要分布在个旧、白牛厂、都龙3个矿区,而滇东南较大的3个花岗岩体又分别出露在3个矿区或附近.花岗岩体均形成于燕山晚期,岩石化学、矿物成分相似,富含锡、银、铅、锌、钨、铜等成矿元素.矿床主金属元素组合与岩体之间的距离由远而近出现由锡、钨、(铍、铌、钽)→锡、钨、(铁)、铜、铟→锡、铅、锌、银、铟、(锑)有规律的变化.花岗岩浆是成矿物质来源和成矿热源.岩浆侵入初期使上覆地层隆起产生背斜(凹陷部位成向斜);同时使地层产生一系列裂隙、压性断层或层间断裂;岩浆侵入晚期,这些断层再次活动,表现为张性,岩浆产生的含矿热液沿由其活动所造成的断裂迁移、充填、交代、沉淀而形成矿床.     

岩石密度和超高压岩石折返速率

在常温常压条件下对中国大陆科学钻CCSD主孔100-3000米岩心样品进行了密度测量,建立了密度连续剖面,并界定了不同超高压岩石的密度值。通过对比高温高压物性实验资料,岩石密度随着退变程度增强而降低,榴辉岩密度变化序列为3.52g/cm3→3.49g/cm3→3.07g/cm3→2.93g/cm3。超高压长英质岩石密度变化序列为3.00g/cm→2.80g/cm3→2.65g/cm3。上述实验资料是讨论不同折返阶段岩石所受浮力的基础,为研究折返速率大小提供了基本参数。本文通过折返板块运动平衡时,上浮力与粘滞力平衡这一关系式,定量研究了大陆俯冲板块的折返速率,认为密度差产生上浮力从而引起折返,温度对板块折返速率的影响最为显著;密度差大小、折返角度、折返板块大小对折返速率也有直接的影响。定量模拟分析表明,在温度高于850℃时,板块的折返速率可以超过100mm/a;当温度降至700℃时,折返速率则低于1.5mm/a。作者认为在折返早期,温度较高,板块快速折返至60-70km榴辉岩相深度;随着传导散热,温度降低,板块以较慢的速率折返至中下地壳。折返速率的估算表明,浮力是板块折返第一阶段(从>100km深部折返至<40km的中下地壳)的主要驱动力。
