南桐煤矿小型地质构造带的预测及应用

本文以地质观点为主,提出了对南桐煤矿5~#煤层小型地质构造带预测的方法;指出了小型地质构造带既是各项地质指标在同地段的同步变化带,又是小断层密集带的结论;而煤与瓦斯突出主要发生在小型地质构造带上,因此,通过小型地质构造带的预测可进一步实现煤与瓦斯突出带的预测。     

A 780-year record of explosive volcanism from DT263 ice core in east Antarctica

Ice cores recovered from polar ice sheet received and preserved sulfuric acid fallout from explosive volcanic eruptions. DT263 ice core was retrieved from an east Antarctic location. The ice core is dated using a combination of annual layer counting and volcanic time stratigraphic horizon as 780 years (1215-1996 A.D.). The ice core record demonstrates that during the period of approximately 1460-1800 A.D., the accumulation is sharply lower than the levels prior to and after this period. This period coincides with the most recent neoglacial climatic episode, the "Little Ice Age (LIA)", that has been found in numerous Northern Hemisphere proxy and historic records. The non-sea-salt SO42- concentrations indicate seventeen volcanic events in DT263 ice core. Compared with those from previous Antarctic ice cores, significant discrepancies are found between these records in relative volcanic flux of several well-known events. The discrepancies among these records may be explained by the differences in surface topography, accumulation rate, snow drift and distribution which highlight the potential impact of local glaci-ology on ice core volcanic records, analytical techniques used for sulfate measurement, etc. Volcanic eruptions in middle and high southern latitudes affect volcanic records in Antarctic snow more intensively than those in the low latitudes.     

Orthogonal regression: a teaching perspective

A well-known approach to linear least squares regression is that which involves minimizing the sum of squared orthogonal projections of data points onto the best fit line. This form of regression is known as orthogonal regression, and the linear model that it yields is known as the major axis. A similar method, reduced major axis regression, is predicated on minimizing the total sum of triangular areas formed between data points and the best fit line. Either of these methods is appropriately applied when both x and y are measured, a typical case in the natural sciences. In comparison to classical linear regression, equation derivation for the slope of the major axis and reduced major axis lines is a nontrivial process. For this reason, derivations are presented herein drawing from previous literature with as few steps as possible to enable an easily accessible understanding. Application to eruption data for Old Faithful geyser, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming and Montana, USA enables a teaching opportunity for choice of model.     

汤加火山的地震学研究

俯冲带的地震监测仍然是一个挑战，特别是对于人口稠密地区。2022年1月汤加的洪阿汤加—洪阿哈阿帕伊火山的喷发以及引发的地震凸显了这一需求的急迫性。综合汤加地震学观测，推测汤加部分火山近期仍有小规模喷发风险。选取2009—2010年覆盖汤加的海底地震仪台阵数据，应用机器学习算法进行数据处理，得到汤加火山岛链附近高分辨率的地震目录。     

汤加-克马德克俯冲带的地质构造与地震火山特征

2022年1月15日西南太平洋的洪阿哈阿帕伊岛海底火山发生了爆炸式的剧烈喷发，吸引了全球的关注。洪阿哈阿帕伊岛海底火山位于汤加-克马德克俯冲带，综合前期研究结果，对汤加-克马德克俯冲带的地质构造特征、地震和火山分布进行初步分析，发现：（1）从汤加-克马德克俯冲带弧前向海方向直到俯冲的太平洋板块，构造上主要表现为大规模正断层。（2）路易斯维尔海山链的俯冲将汤加-克马德克俯冲带分为北部的汤加俯冲带和南部的克马德克俯冲带，沿汤加俯冲带板块汇聚率为67～84 mm/a，沿克马德克俯冲带板块汇聚率为41～58 mm/a，板块俯冲速度的差异造成汤加俯冲带和克马德克俯冲带目前俯冲深度的不同。（3）在路易斯维尔海山链以北，太平洋板块上覆沉积物厚度不足0.4 km，而在南侧达到1 km左右，由于俯冲板块上覆沉积物厚度的差异而造成北部的汤加俯冲带和南部的克马德克俯冲带孕育地震能力的差异。这些认识对研究该俯冲带的火山喷发机制、大地震成因机理及其灾害风险具有重要意义。
