基于137Cs计年法估算滇池沉积物重金属负荷

根据滇池流域地貌、湖盆形态、物源供给等,用GIS方法将滇池外海分作7个区域,以¹³⁷Cs计年法确定各区域上部沉积物3个沉积时段为1954~1963、1963~1986、1986~2003年,测算不同时段各区域的泥沙年均沉积通量和年均蓄积量,与当地实情及他人用其它方法研究对照,结果可以吻合。在此基础上,结合实验室测量,估算各区域的Cu、Cr、Cd、Pb、Hg、Zn在各时段的年均沉积通量,得到1963~2003年期间滇池沉积物几种重金属负荷分别达到1040.8、1054.0、11.2、824.7、2.5、2465.6 t。故应十分重视滇池沉积物中重金属,采用减少重金属和泥沙入湖量并举的措施控制沉积物重金属负荷的进一步增长。     

云南滇池近现代沉积速率及气候干湿变化的粒度记录

通过对云南滇池沉积物柱芯DC1样品的放射性核素137Cs和Pb210测试分析,发现该柱芯Cs137自1954年首次沉降以来存在1963年、1975年和1986年三个较为明显的蓄积峰,获得滇池自Cs137相应的时标年份到2007年的平均沉积速率分别为0.062g/cm2·a-1、0.051cm2·a-1, 0.049cm...     

基于137Cs、241Am和210Pb计年的上级湖沉积速率研究

利用放射性核素210pb、137Cs及241Am测年方法,确定上级湖表层沉积物的年龄、沉积速率及其变化,分析湖泊沉积速率变化与自然环境演化、人类活动(尤其是修筑堤坝等水利工程)之间的关系,为合理开发利用湖泊资源、保护生态环境提供理论依据.137Cs测年结果表明,沉积柱芯中137 Cs 1964年时标不明显,不存在1975年、1986年时标;利用241Am及210Pbex辅助计年,确定质量深度6.37 g· cm2处为1964年,至表层的平均沉积速率为0.135 g·cm-2·a-1.利用210Pbex CRS模式计算出每个样品深度所对应的年代,与历史资料较吻合.210Pbex CRS计年结果显示,自1859年以来上级湖的沉积速率不稳定,以二级坝建成使用的1960年为界,划分为建坝前平均沉积速率低及建坝后沉积速率上升两个大的时段.上级湖沉积速率的变化与流域旱、涝变化及人类活动有关.     

黑龙江连环湖近现代沉积速率及粒度反映的气候干湿变化

通过对连环湖沉积物柱芯YCHB样品的放射性核素137 CS和210pb测验结果进行研究,表明该柱芯137Cs自1954年初次沉降以来存在1963年、1975年和1986年3个比较突出的蓄积峰,获得连环湖沉积物记录的137Cs相应时标年份到采样年份(2010年)的平均沉积速率分别是0.170 g/cm2.a-1、0.072 g/cm2.a-1、0.054 g/cm2.a-1及0.051 g/cm2.a-1.借助210 PbCRS计年模式,发现连环湖过去176年间的沉积速率是波动的,先升高后降低是其总体趋势,这种波动的沉积环境可能与人类在连环湖地区相应历史时期的活动有着密不可分的关系.探讨了两种计年结果差异产生的可能原因.比较分析了当地年均降雨量与沉积物柱芯YCHB对应时段颗粒的中值粒径之间的关系,发现该地区的降雨量和连环湖沉积物粒度的中值粒径(d(50))在受到人类活动影响较少的情况下表现出较好的相关性,即同步波动性良好.在针对湖泊沉积高分辨率、短时间尺度(年际、10 a)的研究中,沉积物粒度的中值粒径是指示湖区降雨量变化的有效指标.     

新疆137Cs定年时标解析北大核心CSCD

^(137)Cs在年代测定和土壤流失等领域得到了广泛的应用。在认定^(137)Cs时标前,需要消除粘土和有机质(TOC)对^(137)Cs的富集作用。通过对比新疆多个湖芯钻孔^(137)Cs序列,发现它们异于北半球^(137)Cs沉降模式,即出现了1954、1963、1975和1986这四种时标且1986年的^(137)Cs比活度可能异常的高。通过分析艾里克湖钻孔的^(137)Cs序列,并结合新疆其他地区多个钻孔的^(137)Cs序列,与北半球^(137)Cs沉降特征以及靠近北疆的Belukha冰芯^(240)Pu/^(239)Pu沉降记录进行对比,分析了新疆^(137)Cs时标的可靠性以及1986年^(137)Cs比活度异常高的原因。在新疆^(137)Cs多个时标中,仅1963年的时标是高信度的(即北半球^(137)Cs最大沉积年)。1954年^(137)Cs蓄积峰代表其全球初始显著沉降,距今已有2个^(137)Cs半衰期,当年沉积通量低且可能发生^(137)Cs垂直迁移,仅能作为次要时标。1975年的时标反映了1960s-1970s的中国核试验,但距离罗布泊~300 km的博斯腾湖对中国核试验有截然相反的记录,表明中国核试验不是稳定信号,其核沉降范围以及对湖芯的影响作用还需进一步评估,不能作为可信的时标。1986年蓄积峰对应切尔诺贝利核事故,因核尘埃未大量进入平流层且距离新疆较远(~4 000 km),但同时考虑到新疆位于核事故的西风环流下风区,所以该事故对新疆有影响但影响不大。1986年的^(137)Cs时标可作为次要时标。新疆湖芯1986年的异常高蓄积峰可能是由新疆最近几十年的人类活动(如过牧、耕种等)加上1987/1988年的高降水导致的地表侵蚀增强引起的。增强的地表侵蚀导致含有高^(137)Cs含量的表层土壤颗粒被冲刷进入湖泊,叠加在切尔诺贝利核事故^(137)Cs沉降之上,进而导致了湖芯沉积物记录到显著的1986年^(137)Cs蓄积峰。     

有关湖泊沉积137Cs深度分布资料解译的探讨

讨论了国内有关湖泊沉积^137Cs断代资料解译的一些问题。一些高寒地区的湖泊，上世纪60年代主核爆期以后，入湖泥沙的^137Cs含量变化不大，因此沉积剖面^137Cs浓度达峰值后无明显降低趋势。一些浅水湖泊，由于人类活动扰动湖底表层泥沙，剖面表层泥沙的^137Cs浓度比较均一。根据核尘埃沉降监测资料，中国湖泊沉积应存在明显的1963年^137Cs蓄积峰，不应存在所谓的1974年^137Cs次蓄积峰，可能存在不很明显的1986年次蓄积峰。沉积剖面中^137Cs浓度的深度变化，不仅和”’CS大气沉降通量变化有关，也和流域内近几十年来的环境变化有关，1963年以后的^137Cs次蓄积峰的确定要慎重。黔中红枫湖沉积物^137Cs面积活度高于滇西湖泊，主要是由于石漠化严重的喀斯特山地，裸岩面积大，裸岩坡地几无土壤吸附^137Cs尘埃，核爆期间^137Cs降尘随降雨径流直接流失进入湖泊比例高的缘故，不是青藏高原的大气污染物散落屏蔽效应的结果。     

乌兰泡沼泽的210Pb、137Cs测年与现代沉积速率

通过对乌兰泡沼泽沉积物柱芯样品进行210Pb、137Cs测年分析表明,柱芯剖面上有明显的1963年及1975年137Cs蓄积峰,这些蓄积峰对乌兰泡沼泽的现代沉积有明显的时标意义。根据210PbCRS模式,可以计算出每个样品深度所对应的年代,在该沉积柱芯中与137Cs时标吻合很好。通过质量深度与年代分析,乌兰泡的沉积速率并不稳定,变化比较大,表明乌兰泡近200年来沉积环境不稳定。210Pb、137Cs两种计年方法的结合有助于认识沉积速率变化较大的沼泽的沉积状况,也有助于加深对核素计年方法的理解。     

山地灾害和人类活动干扰下九寨沟下季节海的沉积变化

九寨沟是我国旅游强度最大的山地旅游地之一,山地灾害是其旅游发展过程中面临的主要挑战.为了探讨山地灾害和人类活动对湖泊生态系统的影响,以下季节海湖泊沉积物为研究对象,利用137Cs和210Pb建立年代标尺,对沉积物粒度进行了分析.137Cs和210Pb定年法确定湖底下38.5 cm处为1952年的沉积物,50 cm处为1848年的;沉积物粒度分析结果显示,剖面内中值粒径平均值偏大,沉积速率和粗颗粒含量在1952年之后呈明显增大趋势.结果表明,沉积物来源主要是泥石流等山地灾害造成的泥砂人湖、旅游开发过程中道路等基础设施建设带来的颗粒物质;湖泊沉积对流域内的山地灾害,如泥石流等有较好的响应;森林采伐和旅游开发在一定程度上促进了湖泊沉积.     

137Cs和210Pb测年的青海湖西北沉积速率研究

对沉积物柱样1,2的137Cs和210Pb定年分析,这两个样品137Cs最大蓄积峰值出现的年份分别为1963年和1986年。利用沉积物中137Cs蓄积峰,计算沉积物的深度沉积速率分别为0.153 1 cm·a-1、0.153 8 cm·a-1,计算出的质量堆积速率分别为0.048 4 g·a-1·cm-2、0.048 2 g·a-1·cm-2。210Pb计算出的两个柱样的沉积速率分别为0.052 0 g·a-1·cm-2,0.051 4 g·a-1·cm-2,137Cs和210Pb计算出的沉积速率,结果较为一致。由此可见,利用137Cs和210Pb综合定年,相互印证,可以消除一些偶然因素带来的定年偏差,进而较准确地计算湖泊沉积速率,这对研究青海湖近现代环境变化具有一定的现实意义。     

长江中游沿江牛轭湖沉积及其环境意义——以长江荆江段天鹅洲、中洲子为例

以长江中游荆江段天鹅洲和中洲子(牛轭湖)为对象,通过对其沉积物柱样进行210Pb、137Cs、粒度、磁学测试分析,建立了牛轭湖沉积的基本序列、沉积特点与年代学框架。研究表明:1牛轭湖沉积为A-B层,A层(下层)为河相沉积层和河/湖过渡层,B层(上层)为湖相沉积层,沉积物粒径在剖面上呈"粗—细—粗"变化特点。2对于近现代牛轭湖,笼统运用放射性核素(如210Pb)比活度计算的平均沉积速率推测沉积物年代,会产生较大误差,需运用其他沉积特征参数和近现代环境变化事件记录进行多重校核。3牛轭湖沉积可以较好地记录河流流域洪水事件,可为重建古洪水事件提供借鉴。牛轭湖沉积较其他湖泊沉积更为复杂,相关研究尚待继续深入。     

Sediment accumulation of Dianchi Lake determined by 137Cs dating

The water quality of Dianchi Lake declines quickly and the eutrophication is getting serious. To identify the internal pollution load of Dianchi Lake it is necessary to evaluate its sediment accumulation. Sedimentation rates of Dianchi Lake are determined by 137Cs dating. However, 137Cs vertical distribution in sediment cores of Dianchi Lake has special characteristics because Dianchi Lake is located on the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Kunming quasi-stationary front is over the borders of Yunnan and Guizhou where the specific precipitation is distributed. Besides 1954, 1963 and 1986 137Cs marks can be determined in sediment cores, a 137Cs mark of 1976 representing the major period of 137Cs released from China unclear test can be determined and used for an auxiliary dating mark. Meanwhile Dianchi Lake is divided into seven sections based on the water depth, basin topography, hydrological features and supplies of silt and the lakebed area of each section is calculated. The mean annual sedimentation rates for seven sections are 0.0810, 0.1352, 0.1457, 0.1333, 0.0904, 0.1267 and 0.1023 g/cm2a in 1963–2003, respectively. The gross sediment accumulation of the lake is 26.18×104 t/a in recent 17 years and 39.86×104 t/a in recent 50 years.

To identify the internal pollution load of Dianchi Lake it is necessary to evaluate its sediment accumulation. Sedimentation rates of Dianchi Lake are determined by ¹³⁷Cs dating. However, ¹³⁷Cs vertical distribution in sediment cores of Dianchi Lake has special characteristics because Dianchi Lake is located on the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Kunming quasi-stationary front is over the borders of Yunnan and Guizhou where the specific precipitation is distributed.

Late holocene paleoclimatic and paleobiologic records from sediments of Devils Lake,North Dakota

An 84 cm sediment core collected from the center of Devils Lake, North Dakota, was analyzed at 1-cm intervals for,²¹⁰Pb,¹³⁷Cs, sediment conductivity, the concentrations of, biogenic silica, total organic carbon, carbon to nitrogen ratio, and the carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of the organic fraction. Variations in²¹⁰Pb activities in the upper 20 centimeters indicate that sediment accumulations rates in Devils Lake are not constant, and that accumulation rates were highest during periods of high lake level. The mean sedimentation accumulation rate was calculated as 0.24 cm^–1 yr. The¹³⁷Cs profile is characterized by near-surface maximum concentrations, possibly the result of redistribution of¹³⁷Cs during salinity excursions.Biogenic silica is strongly correlated to lake level in Devils Lake. Periods of low lake level (characterized by high sediment conductivity) correspond to low biogenic silica concentrations. The trends in biogenic silica are attributed to variations in diatom productivity in the lake and to variations in sediment accumulation rates. Based on biogenic silica content and the composition of organic matter in the sediment (total organic carbon, carbon:nitrogen ratio and the ¹³C and ¹⁵N composition of total organic matter), paleobiologic conditions of Devils Lake during low lake stands were characterized by, (1) decreased primary productivity, (2) decreased input of detrital organic matter, and (3) increased nitrogen availability.During the 350 years of sediment accumulation represented by the 84-cm sediment core Devils Lake has experienced two periods of sustained high lake level; one between about 130 and 170 years ago (1820 to 1860 A.D.) and the second between 270 and 310 years ago (1680 to 1720 A.D.). Devils Lake experienced a period of intense drying about 260 years ago (1720 A.D.).     

Paleoenvironmental implications of magnetic measurements on sediment core from Kunming Basin,Southwest China

Mineral magnetic measurements have been made on a long sediment core from Dianchi Lake, Southwest China. They have been used for sediment stratigraphy, for bulk lithological classification and for detailed particle-size-based characterisation. These results are set alongside those derived from geochemical, granulometric and pollen analysis to reconstruct the environmental processes recorded in the radiocarbon dated sediment column. It is suggested that the variations of magnetic properties in this sediment core are mainly the result of changes in particle size constitution or organic content, implying shifts in the sedimentary environment. Three distinctive stratigraphic horizons, with several subdivisions, have been identified on the basis of the magnetic measurements. They are coincident with the pollen assemblage zones, indicating the different climatic periods in the Kunming Basin since late Pleistocene times. This paper proposes that a major shift in sedimentation, from lake to reedswamp, occurred in approximately 10 000–12 000 BP, in response to climatic change.     

Analysis of deposition and erosion of Dongting Lake by GIS

The sediments of the Dongting Lake come from four channels (one of them was closed in 1959), connected with the Yangtze River, four tributaries (Lishui, Yuanjiang, Zishui and Xiangjiang) and local area, and some of them are transported into the Yangtze River in Chenglingji, which is located at the exit of the Dongting Lake, some of them deposit into drainage system in the lake region and the rest deposit into the lake. The annual mean sediment is 166,555x104 t, of which 80% come from the four channels, 18% from the four tributaries and 2% from local area, whereas 26% of the total sediments are transported into the Yangtze River and 74% deposited into the lake and the lake drainage system. Based on topographic maps of 1974, 1988 and 1998, and the spatial analysis method with geographic information system (GIS), changes in sediment deposition and erosion are studied in this paper. By overlay analysis of 1974 and 1988, 1988 and 1998, erosion and sediments deposition areas are defined. The main conclusions are: (1) sediment rate in the lake is larger than erosion rate from 1974 to 1998. The mean deposition in the lake is 0.43 m; (2) annual sediment deposition is the same between 1974-1988 and 1988-1998, but the annual volume of deposition and erosion of 1988-1998 is bigger than that in 1974-1988; (3) before the completion of the Three Gorges Reservoir, there will be 7.82x108 m3 of sediments deposited in the lake, which would make the lake silted up by 0.33 m; (4) in the lake, the deposition area is found in the north of the east Dongting Lake, the south-west of the south Dongting Lake, and the east of the west Dongting Lake; while the eroded area is in the south of the east Dongting Lake, the middle of the south Dongting Lake, the west of the west Dongting Lake, as well as Xiangjiang and Lishui river flood channels.     

Analysis of deposition and erosion of Dongting Lake by GIS

The Dongting Lake is located in the south beach of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Its catchment, with an area of 262,823 km2 or about 12% of the total Yangtze River catchment, is situated between 28o43?29o32扤 and 112o54?113o8扙, and crosses Hubei and Hunan provinces in administrative division. The main tributaries include Xiangjiang, Zishui, Yuanjiang, Lishui rivers (4 Tributaries) and some local rivers, such as Miluo River, Xinqiang River and other little streams. In the nor…     

Distribution of 137Cs and 210Pb in sediments of tidal flats in north Jiangsu Province

Seven cores were collected from different sediment zones of tidal flats at Xinyanggang in north Jiangsu province in August 2007. Sediment grain-size distribution and radioisotopes of 137Cs and 210Pb analysis were carried out for these cores. Sediment rates of the cores and radioisotopes distribution in surface sediment in different zones of the tidal flat were calculated from the 137Cs and 210Pb activities in sediments cores. The results indicated that each tidal zone had experienced different evolution phases, hydrological dynamics in the tidal flats made the grain-size of the surface sediment change gradually. 137Cs and 210Pb activities on the superficial layer of the cores varied spatially and the reason was discussed. On tidal flats, the fluctuation of 137Cs and 210Pb activities in the cores reflected the special sedimentary characteristics. Vegetation affects the grain-size distribution and the vertical profiles of 137Cs and 210Pb in the upper depths. 137Cs and 210Pb chronology got the comparable average sediment rates on the tidal flat. The characteristics of 137Cs and 210Pb in the cores reflected various depositional dynamical environments in different tidal zones and gave information on the different evolvement phases of the tidal zones. Based on the information of grain-size distribution, texture of the cores, sediment rates and topography, the evolution lines of the tidal flat were reconstructed.
