Fracture mineralization and fluid flow evolution: an example from Ordovician–Devonian carbonates,southwestern Ontario,Canada

Petrography, geochemistry (stable and radiogenic isotopes), and fluid inclusion microthermometry of matrix dolomite, fracture‐filling calcite, and saddle dolomite in Ordovician to Devonian carbonates from southwestern Ontario, Canada, provide useful insights into fluid flow evolution during diagenesis. The calculated δ¹⁸O_fluid, ΣREE, and REE_SN patterns of matrix and saddle dolomite suggest diverse fluids were involved in dolomitization and/or recrystallization of dolomite. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of dolomite of each succession vary from values in the range of coeval seawater to values more radiogenic than corresponding seawater, which indicate diagenetic fluids were influenced by significant water/rock interaction. High salinities (22.4–26.3 wt. % NaCl + CaCl₂) of Silurian and Ordovician dolomite–hosted fluid inclusions indicate involvement of saline waters from dissolution of Silurian evaporites. High fluid inclusion homogenization temperatures (>100°C) in all samples from Devonian to Ordovician show temperatures higher than maximum burial (60–90°C) of their host strata and suggest involvement of hydrothermal fluids in precipitation and/or recrystallization of dolomite. A thermal anomaly over the mid‐continent rift during Devonian to Mississippian time likely was the source of excess heat in the basin. Thermal buoyancy resulting from this anomaly was the driving force for migration of hydrothermal fluids through regional aquifers from the center of the Michigan Basin toward its margin. The decreasing trend of homogenization temperatures from the basin center toward its margin further supports the interpreted migration of hydrothermal fluids from the basin center toward its margin. Hydrocarbon‐bearing fluid inclusions in late‐stage Devonian to Ordovician calcite cements with high homogenization temperatures (>80°C) and their ¹³C‐depleted values (approaching ?32‰ PDB) indicate the close relationship between hydrothermal fluids and hydrocarbon migration.

历史文化村镇旅游流季节性特征比较研究——以西递、周庄为例

本文以西递和周庄为例,对历史文化村镇旅游流季节性特征进行比较。研究表明,两地在旅游流季节分布不均匀性、季节分布模式和季节划分方面均存在一定差异。对基尼系数和季节性强度指数的分析表明,两者在描述旅游流的季节性变动特征方面具有可替代性,且前者在一定程度上优于后者。另外,旅游地发展阶段也会对旅游流季节性特征有一定影响。论文建议旅游流季节性特征可作为旅游地发展阶段的一项评估指标。     

Quartz recrystallization and fluid flow during contact metamorphism: a cathodoluminescence study

Cathodoluminescence (CL) images of quartz grains in the Appin Quartzite from the aureole of the Ballachulish Igneous Complex (Scotland) reveal a textural complexity that we interpret in the light of published models of the evolution of the contact aureole. Five distinct generations of quartz can be discriminated in CL. The oldest of these is a dark luminescing mottled quartz (Type 1 quartz) that occurs in the centres of pre‐existing grains, in samples collected from 210 m to 0.1 m from the contact. Dark mottled quartz is interpreted to be unrecrystallized material and has a regional metamorphic CL spectral signature. The onset of contact metamorphism resulted in grain growth visible in CL as a series of fine‐scale alternating bands of bright and dark luminescing material (Type 2 quartz), which we attribute to infiltration of repeated pulses of small amounts of H₂O along grain boundaries. Close to the intrusion, a subgrain‐scale network of intragranular, bright luminescing features could have resulted from either intragranular microcrack‐controlled infiltration of H₂O at high temperatures or intergranular cracking followed by grain growth (Type 3 quartz). Broad bands of bright material on grain boundaries in samples that are inferred to have undergone partial melting are interpreted as quartz crystallized from the melt phase (Type 4 quartz). The final stage in the textural development is marked by a series of aligned fractures, detected in CL by nonluminescing material (Type 5 quartz) and corresponding closely with trails of fluid inclusions. These fractures are interpreted as the pathways for late‐stage, low‐temperature, retrogressive fluids.     

‘Torrents of Terror’: the August 1998 Storm and the Magnitude,Frequency and Impact of Major Floods in the Illawarra Region of New South Wales

The Illawarra Region some 80 kilometres south of Sydney is characterised by a prominent coastal escarpment that rises to 700 m within 12 km of the coast and forms a locus for frequent, high intensity rainfall events. One of the most recent recorded events occurred on 17 August 1998 with rainfall intensities at several pluviometers exceeding 120 mm hr^‐1 over a duration of one hour, with up to 249 mm falling in 3.5 hours during the main storm burst. Detailed pluviometer data indicate that the storm was non‐stationary and moved down catchment producing a widespread zone of 120 mm hr^‐1 intensity rainfall over a 30 minute duration across mid‐lower catchment areas after similar intensity but longer duration rainfall in catchment headwaters. Slope‐area reconstructions of peak discharge indicate that small catchments on the escarpment within the zone of maximum intensity experienced close to 100% rainfall‐runoff relationships, with peak discharges correlated to short duration (<1 hr) peak rainfall intensities. Widespread erosion occurred particularly where urban development had encroached on natural water courses. Debris/hyperconcentrated flows originating from both anthropogenic and natural sediment sources caused damage to urban areas. This paper provides an overview of the spatial and temporal characteristics of the 17 August 1998 storm, the hydrologic and geomorphic response of the streams, and the nature of damage to urban areas. It reassesses the frequency of recent high‐magnitude rainfall/flood events in the region, discussing the relationships between rainfall intensities, estimates of flood magnitudes and stormwater channel capacities.

黑龙江省东部城市密集区城市流强度分析

本文在对现有城市流理论进行疏理的基础上提出强化城市流模型,依据城市流强度值的计算,将黑龙江省东部城市密集区的城市分为三级:城市流强度值较高的佳木斯,是该区域的集聚辐射中心,为区域性中心城市;城市流强度值中等的牡丹江,是区域次级集聚辐射中心,为次级区域性中心城市;鹤岗、双鸭山、鸡西、伊春、七台河等市有较低的城市流强度值,城市的集聚与辐射功能微弱,初步形成地方集聚辐射中心,仅为行政区中心。通过各城市的城市流强度分析,指出黑龙江省东部城市密集区目前存在城市流强度低、城市流强度结构不合理等问题,并运用本文提出的强化城市流模型给出区域强化城市流的对策。
