K-Ar age and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopie systems ofthe Cenozoic volcanic rocks in Daheishan Island and Cishan, Penglai, Shandong Province aremeasured. The volcanic rocks ( olivine-nephelinite and nephcline-basanite ) in Daheishan Islanderupted periodically in an interval of 0.32 Ma, from 8.72 Ma. 8.39 Ma. 8.08 Ma to 7.73 Ma. Thevolcanic rocks arc all rich in light REEs. They are similar to the OIB-type alkali basalt in thetrace elements normalized model by primordial mantle: rich in high field elements such as Nb and Ta,and imcompatible elements such as Cs. Rb, Ba, Th. U. The volcanic rocks show a depletion of K andRb elements. It is suggested by the trace elements that the olivine-nephelinite in Daheishan Islandis originated from deep resources under the continental mantle. ε Nd (0) values of the volcanicrocks in Daheishan Island and Cishan are 5.31～8.51 and 7.33 respectively, suggesting that thevolcanic rocks are from the depleted mantle resources, which have higher Sm/Nd ratios than the CHUR.^(143)Nd /^(144)Nd ratios ot Daheishan Island olivine-nephelinite and Cishan alkali basalts are0.512 910～0.513 074 and 0.513 014 respectively. The ^(87)Sr /^(86)Sr of Daheishan Island volcanicrocks are lower than that of Cishan, 0.703 427 ～0.703 482 and 0.703 895 respectively. The DaheishanIsland olivine-nephelinite has the Pb isotopie values as follows: ^(206)Pb/^(204)Pb= 18.028 9～17.972 8. ^(207)Pb / ^(204)Pb = 15.435 8 ～15.402 2 and ^(208)Pb /^(204)Pb = 38.087 6～37.997 5.lower than those of Cishan basanite. The Cishan basanite has ^(206)Pb/^(204)Pb= 18.240 1. ^(207)Pb/^(204)Pb= 15.564 5 and ^(208)Pb /^(204)Pb = 38.535. The authors suggest that theolivine-nephelinite in Daheishan Island is similar to the E-type MORB or Hawaii OIB, and the alkalibasalts in Cishan similar to the Kerguelen OIB. The dominant mantle components of DM+PREMA andperhaps DM ( Dupal type ) are the dominant mantle components for volcanic rocks in Daheishan Islandand Cishan. The PREMA component plays an important role.展开更多

Based on the single-particle reaction–diffusion model, a formula to estimate oxygen consumption rate at high temperature controlled by oxygen transport is proposed.Daily fluctuant atmospheric pressure was imposed on boundaries, including the abandoned gallery and cracks. Simulated results show that the effects of atmospheric pressure fluctuations on coal fires and surface anomalies depend on two factors: the fluctuant amplitude and the pressure difference between inlet(s) and outlet(s) of the air ventilation system. If the pressure difference is close to the fluctuant amplitude, atmospheric pressure fluctuations greatly enhance gas flow motion and temperatures of the combustion zone and outtake(s). If the pressure difference is much larger than the fluctuant amplitude, atmospheric pressure fluctuations exert no impact on underground coal fires and surface anomalies.展开更多

The Atacama and Domeyko fault systems in northern Chile control the tectonic- magmatic activities that migrate eastward and the types of mineral resources. In this paper, we processed and interpreted aeromagnetic data from northern Chile using reduction to pole, upward field continuation, the second derivative calculation in the vertical direction, inclination angle calculation, and analytical signal amplitude analysis. We revealed the locations and planar distribution characteristics of the regional deep faults along the NNE and NS directions. Furthermore, we observed that the major reasons for the formation of the tectonic-magmatic rocks belts were the nearly parallel deep faults distributed from west to east and multiple magmatic activities along these faults. We ascertained the locations of volcanic mechanisms and the relationships between them using these regional deep faults. We deduced the spatial distributions of the basic-intermediate, basic, and acidic igneous rocks, intrusive rocks, and sedimentary sequences. We showed the linear positive magnetic anomalies and magnetic anomaly gradient zones by slowly varying the background, negative magnetic anomaly field, which indicated the presence of strong magmatic activities in these regional deep faults; it also revealed the favorable areas of copper and polymetallic mineralization. This study provides some basic information for further research on the geology, structural characteristics, and mineral resource prospecting in northern Chile.展开更多

Dr Aguirre made meteorological readings every day, at every hour from sunrise to sunset, from December 1845 to December 1846, at Antisana using a meteorological station at 4060 mamsl （meters above mean sea level）. Unfortunately, only the monthly average data have been preserved. These meteorological data are here studied and compared with the closest modern stations for monthly values of temperature, rainfall, and pressure. According to these comparisons, the year 1846 was rainy and cold in comparison with the current climate. Moreover, these observations have been useful to help resolve a debate about a possible E1Nifio event in 1846 with the high precipitation in Antisana and Quito in 1846 discarding the occurrence of an E1 Nifio event. The probable occurrence of a La Nifia event is discussed. These data are the earliest known systematic instrumental meteorological observations taken at above 4000 mamsl.展开更多

According to the improved 2D diffusion model of Suzuki （ 1983）, we edited a tephra diffusion program that can run in the Windows system. Based on previous data, we simulated the diffusion scope of the Jinlongdingzi volcanic eruption, which is the latest eruption in the Longgang volcanic cluster. The simulated results are in good agreement with the results from measurement in situ, indicating that the model is reliable and the parameters used in the model are suitable. By using wind profiles of ten years, 7, 021 simulations under different wind profiles were carried out, and then probabilistic hazard maps of tephra fallout were constructed for tephra thickness thresholds, lcm and 0.5cm. This study can provide an important scientific basis for volcanic hazard analysis, risk mitigation plans and countermeasures in the Longgang volcanic area.展开更多

The distribution and recession rates of knickpoints contain information that provides a fundamental understanding of geomorphic processes. In the Yalu River-Wangtian＇e volcanic region of northeastern China, broadly distributed fiat lava terrain provides an ideal site to study the recession of fluvial knickpoints because knickpoints and waterfalls are well preserved here. Here we describe the distribution of knickpoints in the Yalu River-Wangtian＇e volcanic region by combining DEM analysis and numerical modeling Furthermore, we present a knickpoint celerity model, derived from stream-power incision model, to relate knickpoint recession rate to drainage area. We calibrate important empirical coefficients with our knickpoint celerity model; the best fit erosion coefficient （K） is 1.32×10^-8, and the best fit drainage area exponent （m） is 0.69. Error analysis indicates a close correspondence between synthetic and real knickpoints. Finally, we show that knickpoint recession rates in the Yalu River-Wangtian＇e volcanic region are -1-10 mm/a during the early stages of transient incision, and that the present rates are -1-6 mm/a. Our recession rate results are in good agreement with previous findings from the Aso Volcano and volcanoes near Boso Peninsula （Japan）, which have a similar geologic history to the Yalu River-Wangtian＇e volcanic region. Our present effort provides new insight into landscape evolution in the Yalu River-Wangtian＇e volcanic region in northeastern China.展开更多

The exact timing and spatial extent of this exceptional cold phase are, however, still under debate because of the limited resolution and geographical distribution of the available proxy archives. Here, we use 106 wood anatomical thin sections from 23forest sites and 20 tree species in both hemispheres to search for cell-level fingerprints of ephemeral summer cooling between 530 and 550 CE. After cross-dating and double-staining, we identified 89Blue Rings(lack of cell wall lignification), nine Frost Rings(cell deformation and collapse), and 93Light Rings(reduced cell wall thickening) in the Northern Hemisphere. Our network reveals evidence for the strongest temperature depression between mid-July and early-August 536 CE across North America and Eurasia, whereas more localised cold spells occurred in the summers of 532, 540–43, and548 CE. The lack of anatomical signatures in the austral trees suggests limited incursion of stratospheric volcanic aerosol into the Southern Hemisphere extra-tropics, that any forcing was mitigated by atmosphere-ocean dynamical responses and/or concentrated outside the growing season, or a combination of factors. Our findings demonstrate the advantage of wood anatomical investigations over traditional dendrochronological measurements, provide a benchmark for Earth system models, support cross-disciplinary studies into the entanglements of climate and history, and question the relevance of global climate averages.展开更多
