基于遥感、重磁多源信息研究茅山断裂带构造特征

通过遥感影像数据判读了茅山断裂带构造地貌特征,利用小波多尺度分解方法研究了茅山地区的布格重力异常,在进行场源分离的基础上深入研究了茅山断裂带地壳深部的空间展布特征。通过重力异常分析可知,茅山断裂带在中地壳以上由茅西断裂、茅东断裂以及茅山断块3部分组成,随着地壳深度的增加逐渐合为一条断裂带,茅山断裂带沿重力高异常与重力低异常之间的重力梯级带分布;航磁异常显示,地壳浅部火山喷发物质侵入断裂,且地壳深部同时具有岩浆侵入断裂现象;通过重力异常小波细节图进一步证明了溧阳地震与茅山断裂带和南渡—金坛断裂带之间的联系。     

川滇地区下地壳流动对上地壳运动变形影响的数值模拟

根据活动断裂分布和区域流变结构建立川滇地区三维有限元模型， 采用上地壳为弹性介质，下地壳和上地幔为Maxwell体的粘弹性模型，模拟川滇地区地壳现今运动和应力分布，探讨川滇地区地壳运动变形的动力学机制. 通过4种不同边界条件和深度分层结构有限元模型的计算结果的对比，认为川滇地区绕喜玛拉雅东构造结顺时针旋转的地壳运动模式主要受川滇地区特殊的边界动力作用控制，川滇菱形块体下地壳流动对上地壳的拖曳作用亦不容忽视. 同时，川滇地区各块体的现今地壳运动场和应力场还受到区域主要活动断裂带的影响， 呈现分块特征.      

河北省南部及邻区的地壳深部构造与地震

本文利用区域布格重力异常图(1:100万)和地质构造资料来研究河北省南部及其相邻地区的地壳深部构造特征,并讨论其与强震发生的关系。方法主要是运用三维重力正演计算,层层消除地壳浅部对布格重力异常的影响,得出一系列剩余重力异常和剩余深部重力异常,再根据异常图形的变换,探讨一些活动断裂和构造由浅到深的变化趋势。还用三维重力反演计算,求出了全区莫霍界面的深度,得到了全区的地壳厚度图,进而分析强震区的深部构造背景,这些对地震地质和烈度区划是有意义的。

长江下游地区布格重力异常及深浅部构造特征

为研究长江下游地区地壳结构及深浅部构造特征,本文选用大比例尺布格重力数据,利用小波变换方法进行场源分解处理,剖析不同深度下地壳横向结构,采用Parker变密度模型反演该地区的莫霍面深度,并构建两条地壳密度结构剖面模型,对研究区深、浅部构造进行精细刻画.结果表明,长江下游地区重力场整体呈现NE走向的构造异常,多发育NE向的断裂及隆凹构造.沉积层至上地壳的地壳结构复杂,存在数量较多的小尺度的线性重力梯度条带,形成了15条明显的以NE、NNE方向为主体的构造单元以及2条NW向区域性断裂,多数断层延伸至中地壳;在中、下地壳尺度中,断裂带多沿高、低异常梯度条带分布,其中金坛—南渡断裂与茅山断裂合并,形成规模一条较大的控制性断裂,推断该断裂已经切穿上地幔,结合地震数据发现,两条断裂的相接处在近代以来地震活动性较强,此外茅山断裂在深部向北延伸至镇江市区,受无锡—宿迁断裂带影响截止于埤城附近.区域莫霍面深度分布在31.6～33.4 km,表现为以埤城断凸为中心,东西浅,南北深的‘X’状.     

芦山—康定地区布格重力异常及其归一化梯度图像的构造物理涵义

芦山—康定地区是川滇块体、松潘—甘孜块体和华南块体三个块体过渡的"Y"型交汇区,构造变形十分强烈.本文对EGM2008计算的布格重力异常进行1~5阶离散小波变换,得到三方向分量平方和的平方根(HVDM)图像;利用实测剖面布格重力异常数据,得到剖面的布格重力异常归一化总梯度(NFG)图像.结果分析表明:(1)垂直于龙门山断裂带南段剖面的NFG图像显示推覆构造体前端切割较浅、后端逐步变深至中地壳,说明松潘—甘孜块体在深约10~30km之间存在滑脱构造,在青藏高原东向挤出和四川盆地的阻挡作用下,造成深、浅部构造差异性运动,形成逆冲推覆的龙门山构造带;(2)HVDM图像和剖面的NFG图像均显示龙门山断裂带西南段与中段和东北段不同,松潘—甘孜块体对四川盆地的逆冲推覆作用沿北东方向具有分段性;(3)雅江—洪雅剖面NFG图像显示鲜水河断裂带和龙门山断裂之间存在高梯度变化带,在鲜水河断裂带下方强变形带不仅在20km左右东倾至龙门山断裂带前缘,且逐渐近垂直向下伸入至少到下地壳,反映了两大断裂带交汇区域变形作用较强.川滇块体内部和四川盆地内部则显示低值,说明其变形作用较弱.强烈左旋剪切的鲜水河断裂带对芦山—康定地区构造活动具有主要的控制作用.     

德钦—维西地区流域盆地面积—高程积分特征及其构造意义

1 研究背景 德钦—维西地区位于滇西北川滇菱形块体边缘的活动构造区(马瑾,1988),构造位置特殊,地处青藏高原东南缘横断山脉中南段,川滇菱形块体西北界争议较大的三江并流地区,特提斯—喜马拉雅构造域东南部弧形构造转折处,冈瓦纳古陆与欧亚大陆拼合带边缘,也是扬子准地台与滇西地槽摺皱带交接区,构造复杂(吴长富,1998).区内分布有德钦—中甸—大具断裂和维西—乔后断裂等活动断裂.区域地震活动比较活跃,其分布与块体边界的作用及深部特征有着密切关系.     

四川地区流动重力资料的位场 分离与异常特征提取

用于监测四川地区重力场随时间变化的流动重力测网于2008年5月12日汶川M_S8.0地震后进行了全面改造, 形成了新的闭合环线并对整网点位每年实施2次重力观测工作. 该文以2010—2012年获取的5期流动重力资料为基础, 分别采用小波多尺度分解和三维视密度反演等位场分离方法, 对测区内重力场的动态变化进行多层次分解及异常特征提取, 以探求四川测区范围内重力异常动态变化特征以及地震前后不同深度范围内密度变化情况与重力场响应之间的关系. 结果表明, 对同一期资料进行小波分解得到不同阶次的细节图像, 揭示了不同深度处重力异常动态变化特征; 分解结果同时也表明了四川测区范围内重力场的变化形态与川内特有的断裂构造格架和深部结构环境及过渡带特征密切相关. 通过对不同时期的差分重力异常资料进行三维视密度反演对比研究发现, 在地震前后四川测区范围内由浅到深密度变化呈现出不同程度的差异, 震区附近出现较为明显的横向密度变化特征且浅层物质密度局部性的异常变化差异较为突出, 测区范围内中上地壳深度层密度反演切片显示出的趋势性差异基本上反映了地震前后测区内地下物质的动态变化趋势, 因此, 深刻认识不同深度范围内重力场的动态演化特征, 对研究壳内物质密度变化以及与地震的孕育和发展有关的深部介质环境具有积极的意义.      

云南建水-蒙自一带断裂滑动速率与冲沟对走滑断错的响应

1新构造环境 云南建水-蒙自一带位于小江断裂带南段以东、红河断裂带南段以北,紧邻川滇菱形块体东南端,大致在石屏-建水断裂SEE方向的延长线上,主要断裂有蒙自东山断裂、田山断裂和黑泥地断裂.因这一地区历史上无大震记录且构造活动不如小江断裂带、曲江断裂带和石屏-建水断裂强烈而未引起活动构造研究者的重视.但其位于川滇菱形块体向SE145°平移的前锋,势必受到川滇菱形块体运动的影响,断裂也会表现出一定程度的响应.     

川滇地区地壳密度变化与强震孕育关系

为研究川滇地区地壳密度的时空演化特征与强震孕育的关系,本文基于2011—2014年川滇地区的重力复测资料,利用阻尼最小二乘反演算法,获得了川滇地区0—50 km深度范围内分辨率为55 km×55 km×10 km （长×宽×高）的三维动态密度变化模型。以所获取的动态密度变化为依据,分析了川滇地区三维密度变化特征与2013年四川芦山M_S7.0、2014年云南鲁甸M_S6.5和四川康定M_S6.3地震的关系,并由此对强震重点构造部位的深部地壳结构特征、孕震背景及区域动力学过程进行了深入分析。结果显示:川滇地区出现多个与主要活动断裂带展布方向基本一致的密度变化高梯度带,在三次地震的震中区及其附近观测到明显的区域性密度变化异常。15—35 km深度范围内的密度变化水平剖面显示:强震容易发生在上地壳密度变化正、负异常过渡的高梯度带和密度变化四象限分布的中心;中地壳深度密度变化低异常是强震孕育的主要介质条件;下地壳深度密度变化低异常或密度变化高梯度带均有可能是孕育地震的主要介质结构。0—50 km深度的垂直剖面上的密度变化结果显示,地震震中区及附近浅部、深部地壳呈现解耦变化。壳内垂向正负密度变化过渡带可能是强震孕育的又一个主要特征构造。

Dynamic process-response model of river channel development

Feedback mechanisms, which operate upstream through drawdown and backwater effects and downstream through sediment discharge are responsible for channel evolution. By combining these mechanisms with channel processes it euables a dynamic process-response model to be developed to simulate the initial evolution of straight gravel-bed channels. When erosion commences on a land surface, sediment entrained in the headwater reach by hydraulic action is selectively transported, deposited and reworked. This produces a damped oscillation between degradation and aggradation as the channel and valley respond to spatial and temporal variations in sediment calibre and hydraulic conditions. The initial cut and fill phases are responsible for valley incision and floodplain development while secondary and subsequent activity can produce river terraces. Eventually sediment entrainment in the headwaters declines as slopes are reduced. Subsequent channel evolution is relatively insignificant because it is dependent on local weathering activity producing material that can be transported on declining slopes. Therefore landforms produced during the initial phase of development, when local weathering was non-limiting, dominate the landscape.     

Discussion on the Precise Relocation and Seismo-Tectonics of the Jiujiang-Ruichang Earthquake

Based on relocating the Jiujiang-Ruichang earthquake sequence which occurred on November 26, 2005 in Jiangxi Province with the double-difference （DD） algorithm and master event technique, the paper discusses the focal mechanism of the main shock （MsS.7） and the probable seismo-tectonics. The precise relocation results indicate that the average horizontal error is 0.31kin in a EW direction and 0.40kin in a NS direction, and the average depth error is 0.48kin. The focal depths vary from 8kin to 14kin, with the predominant distribution at 10kin - 12kin. The epicenter of the main shock is relocated to be 29.69^oN, 115.74^oE and the focal depth is about 10.Skin. Combining the predominant distribution of the earthquake sequence, the focal mechanism of the main shock and the tectonic conditions of N-E- and NW-strike faults growth in the seismic region, we infer that the main shock of the earthquake sequence was caused by a NW striking buried fault in the Rnichang basin. The nature of seismic faults needs to be further explored.     

Hydrochemical and bacteriological features of the groundwater: southern border of the Rharb basin (Morocco) / Caractérisation hydrochimique et bactériologique des eaux souterraines: bordure méridionale du bassin du Rharb (Maroc)

Abstract

The western reservoirs represent the principal groundwater system in Morocco. Demographic, industrial and agricultural developments during the last decade have markedly altered groundwater quality. The Mamora coastal aquifer system is among the Atlantic systems which are most heavily threatened by pollution. Agricultural and industrial activities, and rapid urban growth contribute to the pollution of the groundwater. Contamination transport is facilitated by a high permeability of the aquifer formations. In order to assess the actual groundwater quality of the Mamora aquifer and to understand the influence of the factors generating the pollution, an extensive multidisciplinary research programme is in progress, with hydrochemistry and microbiology playing essential roles. The present paper concerns the spatial distribution of physico-chemical parameters in the groundwater, subjected to domestic, industrial and agricultural pollution. Fifty-seven samples were analysed for several parameters (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cl^?, SO₄ ^2?, HCO₃ ^?, NO₃ ^?, pH, electrical conductivity and temperature). The microbiological analysis of 143 samples reveals the presence of four kinds of indicator bacteria in the groundwater resources: faecal Streptococci, faecal coliform, Escherichia coli and Clostridium. The physico-chemical results and bacteriological monitoring show that the nitrate and bacteria concentrations exceed the maximum admissible levels, notably around pumping stations in the sectors of Sidi Taibi, Sidi Ahmed Taleb and Aïn Sbaâ. Contamination is generated by uncontrolled anthropogenic activities and accentuated by the high intrinsic vulnerability of the aquifer system. Several parameters appeared to exceed admissibility standards. Measures are recommended to prevent groundwater pollution in the region.     

Zink in der Umwelt

Zinc in the Environment. In 1990 the world production of zinc ammounted to 7 Mio. metric tons. The main areas of application were: galvanization, alloys like brass and zinc metal. The content in the earth crust varies between 10–300 ppm zinc with a mean of 70 ppm. Uncontaminated surface waters contain less than 10 mg/m³ zinc. Apart from civilization air contains 1–10 ng zinc per m³. These background concentrations are exceeded by orders of magnitude in zinc deposit areas and where anthropogenic influences predominate. Accumulation can occur in sediments and sewage sludge. Molluscs and Algae also accumulate zinc. Zinc is essential for live. With normal food the zinc supply of man is just sufficient. Bioaccumulation of zinc towards man or chronic oversupply of man is not known. Zinc has no teratogenic or mutagenic effects, a suspicion on a carcinogenic effect proved wrong. In stockbreeding and plant cultivation a minimum supply of zinc is necessary. Plants are relatively less sensitive against higher soil contents of zinc. Considering the toxicological and ecotoxicological effects of zinc in the environment, the critical organismens are marine invertebratae like tubifex, daphnia, gammarus and algae. But normally only a minor part of the total zinc contest is biologically available, depending on salt content and pH of the waters.
