西南天山前缘乌拉根背斜南翼逆断层的发现及其地质意义

塔里木盆地新疆喀什以西部分是西南天山和帕米尔两大对冲构造系统的会聚带,关于两者变形前缘和分界的确切位置存在不同认识.在乌恰县以南的玛依卡克盆地南缘,清晰可见属于帕米尔构造带、向N或NNE逆冲的帕米尔前缘逆冲推覆体(PFT).最近野外调查在盆地北部发现了西南天山前缘的最新变形带:向南逆冲的乌拉根背斜南翼断层.断层总体近E...     

River flow regime and snow cover of the Pamir Alay (Central Asia) in a changing climate

Abstract

The Vakhsh and Pyandj rivers, main tributaries of the Amu Darya River in the mountainous region of the Pamir Alay, play an important role in the water resources of the Aral Sea basin (Central Asia). In this region, the glaciers and snow cover significantly influence the water cycle and flow regime, which could be strongly modified by climate change. The present study, part of a project funded by the European Commission, analyses the hydrological situation in six benchmark basins covering areas of between 1800 and 8400 km², essentially located in Tajikistan, with a variety of topographical situations, precipitation amounts and glacierized areas. Four types of parameter are discussed: temperature, glaciation, snow cover and river flows. The study is based mainly on a long-time series that ended in the 1990s (with the collapse of the Soviet Union) and on field observations and data collection. In addition, a short, more recent period (May 2000 to May 2002) was examined to better understand the role of snow cover, using scarce monitored data and satellite information. The results confirm the overall homogeneous trend of temperature increase in the mountain range and its impacts on the surface water regime. Concerning the snow cover, significant differences are noted in the location, elevation, orientation and morphology of snow cover in the respective basins. The changes in the river flow regime are regulated by the combination of the snow cover dynamics and the increasing trend of the air temperature.

帕米尔-西昆仑北麓新生代前陆褶皱冲断带构造剖面分析

依据帕米尔—西昆仑北麓新生代前陆褶皱冲断带 3条构造剖面的详细分析,发现帕米尔—西昆仑北麓除山根地带发育高角度断层外,基本上以低角度逆掩断层为主,形成与逆冲推覆构造相关的褶皱变形。乌泊尔地区表现为由山脉向塔里木盆地滑移的隐伏冲断层和上覆褶皱;苏盖特—齐姆根—甫沙地区表现为山前的三角带和向盆地扩展的两排背斜带。帕米尔—西昆仑北麓前陆褶皱冲断带的主要构造变形时间始于上新世早期(距今约 4.6Ma),断层、褶皱的变形时代由山前向盆地逐步变新,变形强度由山脉向塔里木盆地逐步减弱。帕米尔—西昆仑北麓前陆褶皱冲断带的构造缩短量为 20～70km,缩短率为 35%～50%。     

帕米尔东北缘晚新生代旋转运动新证据

为进一步研究帕米尔东北缘晚新生代演化特征,在塔里木盆地西部英吉沙背斜上新世地层中采集了11个采点共111块古地磁样品.对样品进行系统热退磁测定,揭示了一组高温特征剩磁分量,获得了采样剖面的上新世古地磁极.特征剩磁方向为:Dg=342.4°,Ig=59.2°,κg=32.3,α95=8.6°;Ds=352.4°,Is=49.9°,κs=59.1,α95=6.3°,相对应的古地磁极位置为:79.7°N,295.9°E,dp=5.6°,dm=8.4°,α95=6.9°.这一高温分量通过了倒转检验,代表了研究区上新世时期的原生特征剩磁.通过对英吉沙背斜周缘断裂及形成的大地构造背景分析,结合其地貌特征、GPS数据,认为英吉沙背斜在开始形成至今经历了明显的逆时针构造旋转,该旋转同晚新生代以来帕米尔东北缘喀什凹陷发生刚性构造旋转运动有着密切的关系.     

塔吉克斯坦帕米尔地区构造单元划分及其特征

塔吉克斯坦帕米尔地区由一系列呈近东西向、向北凸出的弧形活动构造带构成,被称为“西构造结”。由于地缘关系及国内外研究程度差异,塔吉克帕米尔地区在构造单元属性及其与国内构造单元对比上仍存在分歧。本文在系统分析塔吉克帕米尔地区、昆仑和藏北地区区域地质调查和科研成果资料的基础上,结合野外地质调查,着重从物质组成、构造变形两个方面进行对比,以坦尼马斯、如山-帕沙尔特缝合带为界将塔吉克帕米尔地区自北向南划分为北帕米尔、中帕米尔、南帕米尔三个构造单元,其中北帕米尔进一步细化为北带、中带、南带,南帕米尔分为东南帕米尔和西南帕米尔。初步探讨了各单元构造属性,提出了与我国昆仑、藏北地区相邻构造单元的对接方案,为推进帕米尔地区区域地质研究提供支撑。     

南帕米尔喀拉苏沟韧性剪切带构造变形特征及年代学分析

帕米尔西构造结经历了古生代—中生代多个地体的复杂拼合过程, 又遭受了新生代印度-亚洲碰撞的改造, 在整个青藏高原构造演化中扮演了重要的角色, 但该地区中生代构造演化的研究仍然相对较少。通过研究南帕米尔一条北西—南东走向宽约1.5 km的韧性剪切带中野外和显微变形特征, 判定剪切带为左行剪切, 剪切以走滑分量为主, 兼具部分逆冲分量, 韧性变形呈现中心强, 边缘弱的特点。根据剪切带中花岗岩岩株的形态、变形、岩石地球化学特征以及与区域其它岩体的对比, 判定其为同构造花岗岩。该同构造花岗岩中测得的两个锆石U-Pb同位素年龄为(233.2±1.8) Ma和(235.7±1.4) Ma, 代表韧性剪切带形成于晚三叠世初期, 指示南帕米尔地块内部在乳山洋闭合初期已经发生明显的构造变形。     

Ethnic minorities and marginality in the Pamirian Knot: survival of Wakhi and Kirghiz in a harsh environment and global contexts

This paper challenges the thesis that mountain areas are regions of refuge. The refuge concept attributes irrelevant exchange and limited communication to isolated mountain habitats which mainly depend on production for home consumption. In contrast, it is shown that exchange relations in all walks of life have been affected not only recently but for nearly two centuries in Central Asia, although the continued importance of subsistence strategies in the agricultural sector can be observed. The Pamirian Knot provides the mountainous interface between South and Central Asia for case studies of two ethnic communities – Wakhi mountain farmers and Kirghiz pastoralists – in order to exemplify socio-political developments in similar mountain environments. Examples are presented from Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and the People's Republic of China. The territories have been separated since the late nineteenth century by international boundaries conceived as the result of the imperial 'Great Game'. Emphasis is placed on developments in the livestock sector and it is shown that adaptation to changing socio-political frameworks has affected the livelihood strategies of nomads and mountain farmers alike.     

帕米尔东北侧地震危险性评价和可能发震地点的判定

通过地震活动性周期估计、地震活动性层次模型和对大震前地震活动异常分布的分析，研究了帕米尔东北侧地区未来地震危险性以及可能发生强震的地点。研究结果表明：该区未来几年存在着发生7级以上或8级左右地震的危险性，其发震地点可能在帕米尔东北侧的西半部。     

中国西北帕米尔东北缘的活动断裂研究

在卫星遥感图像的详细地质解译分析基础上，结合野外地质与地貌观察，对帕米尔东北缘山前与印度－亚欧大陆碰撞相关的活动断层进行了分析。研究结果指出，NW－NWW走向的断层主要表现为南倾逆冲断层，并伴随有强烈的右旋走滑分量。流经活动断层带的水系显示出右旋累积位错：小水系的水平位错量为4.0-20.0m，大河流的水平位错量达8－12km。沿断层带的上新世至早更新世地层也显示出一致的水平位错，位错量为8－12km。这些证明表明，帕米尔东南山前的NW－NWW走向的断层很可能开始于上新世末期至早更新世早期（2.2-3Ma)。研究结果首次厘定了帕米尔东北缘山前与向北逆冲相伴随的右旋走滑速率在第四纪期间达4.0-6.8mm/a。根据与现代地震活动相关的活断层分析，推测帕米尔东北缘山前7级以上地震重复周期为1000a左右。     

帕米尔中部含刚玉变质杂岩

刚玉矿化位于穆兹科尔(Muzkol)变质杂岩体内.该杂岩体近纬向展布在帕米尔中部阿尔卑斯褶皱带的东部,属蓝晶石—夕线石型阿尔卑斯带变质杂岩.地质填图发现有4个变质岩区:低绿片岩相(白云母—绿泥石)区,高绿片岩相(黑云母—绿泥石)区,绿帘石—角闪岩相区,角闪岩相区,而刚玉矿化集中在绿帘石—角闪岩及周围角闪岩相变质体内的交代蚀变区.交代蚀变区内的刚玉矿化通常与层面或 大型同倾斜褶皱轴面平行.根据母岩成分可将含刚玉交代岩分为3类,分别位于方解石大理岩内、白云石大理岩内及片岩内.在大理岩内,刚玉成粉红色,与白云母、黑云母、方柱石、钙长石、正长石、金红石、电气石、磷灰石、黄铁矿及石墨共生,以Al含量变化大和Fe含量低为特点.在片岩内,刚玉成蓝色,与黑云母、绿泥石、电气石及磷灰石共生各种类型的含刚玉岩石均以K,Na,Mg的含量较高而Fe含量较低为特点.根据P—T—XCO2图估算含刚玉交代岩的稳定范围在610℃相似文献
