Analysis of carbon isotopes in airborne carbonate and implications for aeolian sources

Methods were developed to determine the mass ratios of carbon isotopes in trace amounts of aerosol carbonate. A Finnigan MAT 252 mass spectrometer fitted with an on-line Kiel device was to determine the ^13C/^12C ratio in CO2 produced from the carbonate. A study using these methods was conducted to characterize the carbonate carbon isotopes in aerosol samples collected in Xi‘an on dusty and normal days during March and April 2002. Results of the study demonstrate that insights into the origin of the dust can be deduced from its isotopic composition. That is, the δ^13C ofcarbonate for dust storm samples ranged from -1.4‰ to -4.2‰, and this is consistent with sandy materials in dust source regions upwind. In contrast, for non-dusty days δ^13C ranged from -7.5% to -9.3‰, which is more similar to fine particles emitted from local surface soils. Comparisons of dust storm aerosols with surface soils from source regions and with aerosol samples collected downwind indicate that the δ^13C values did not change appreciably during longrange transport. Therefore, carbon isotopes have the potential for distinguishing among source materials, and this approach provides a powerful new tool for identifying dust provenance.     

Deep-water Earliest Oligocene Glacial Maximum （EOGM） in South Atlantic

The most prominent cooling event of the Earth surface during Cenozoic in the long-term transition from a non-glaciated planet, or “green-house world”, to a polar, glaciated planet, or “ice-house world”, is the Earliest Oligocene Glacial Maximum (EOGM) above the Eocene/Oligocene boundary at about 33.7 Ma. Planktonic and benthic foraminiferal oxygen and carbon isotopes, carbonate content, and coarse fraction, along with high-resolution color reflectance and magnetic susceptibility records during 35-30 Ma, from deep-water Sites 1262 and 1265, Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 208 in South Atlantic, reveal the global cooling event occurring in both surface and deep oceans. The results show that the earliest Oligocene δ^18O values during 33.5-33.1 Ma represent the magnitude of continental ice sheets on east Antarctica and indicate the large decrease in both surface and deep water temperatures of worldwideoceans. The δ^13C records show the large excursion during the period of EOGM event and indicate some types of shift in global carbon reservoir, probably demonstrating the sudden increase in organic carbon burial rates and the changes in the distribution and timing of production. At the same time, lithologic composition, carbonate content, color reflectance, and coarse fraction brought about significant changes close to the Eocene/Oligocene boundary, reflecting the abrupt deepening in the carbonate compensation depth (CCD). Changes in carbonate content were revealed from the color reflectance identify periodicities associated with eccentricity of the Earth‘s orbit (100 and 400 ka), further indicating orbitally forced global climate variations in the Early Oligocene.

南秦岭新元古代基性侵入岩的岩石成因及其构造背景:锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf-O同位素地球化学制约

秦岭造山带是一条由多期次不同构造运动叠加改造形成的复合造山带,其中,南秦岭是其重要的组成部分。文中冷水沟辉长岩及碾盘沟辉长闪长岩具有一致的U-Pb谐和年龄(~621 Ma),该年龄代表岩浆冷却结晶年龄。冷水沟辉长岩具有亏损地幔模式年龄(1.1~1.35 Ga),表明其原岩形成于中元古代。其较为亏损的Hf-O同位素特征(ε_(Hf)(t)=-3.3~+5.3;δ~(18)Ο=3.48~5.09),表明其来源于亏损地幔的部分熔融。碾盘沟辉长闪长岩具有更为亏损的Hf-O同位素特征(ε_(Hf)(t)=5.8~11.1;δ~(18)Ο=-3.72~-2.58),其负的δ~(18)Ο值是岩浆与低δ~(18)Ο流体发生高温水岩作用的结果。研究结果表明这些基性岩石形成于弧后伸展环境。对比新元古代早期(>735 Ma)南秦岭及扬子北缘广泛发育的岛弧岩浆作用,南秦岭与扬子北缘在新元古代晚期发生了由岛弧环境向弧后伸展环境的转变。其中本文辉长质岩石为南秦岭新元古代最晚一期岩浆活动的产物,代表了南秦岭与扬子北缘新元古代俯冲-碰撞作用的结束,标志着南秦岭基底的最终形成。     

应用铅同位素比值和元素含量分析法识别有机鸡样品真实性

探究了鸡中铅同位素与相关元素在有机养殖和常规养殖中的差异性,以探讨有机鸡样品溯源的可能性。相同品种的鸡分别采用有机养殖和常规养殖2种不同的饲养方式,利用电感耦合等离子体质谱分别对有机鸡和普通鸡样品中的铅同位素比值和相关元素含量进行测定。方差分析结果表明,铅同位素比值²⁰⁴Pb/²⁰⁶Pb和P、Zn、Fe、Mn、Mg、Ca、Cu、Na、K元素含量具有显著性差异(p＜0.05);主成分分析初步表明,Zn、Mn、Mg、Ca、Cu、Na、K为有机鸡和普通鸡样品中的特征无机元素;聚类分析可将鸡样品分为有机养殖和常规养殖两大类,通过判别分析所得模型的初始分组正确率为100.0%,交叉验证正确率为90.0%。利用铅同位素比值(²⁰⁴Pb/²⁰⁶Pb)、相关元素(P、Zn、Fe、Mn、Mg、Ca、Cu、Na、K)含量分析能够对有机鸡进行有效溯源识别,研究结果可为有机鸡的鉴别研究提供新的方法。

地球年龄

正科学家花了300年时间才得以确定地球的年龄。这项复杂任务的参与者和它涉及到的许多实验一样多姿多彩。今天,我们已经知道,地球的历史长达45.4亿年(加减1%)。早在58年前,也就是1956年,科学家就首次确定了这个数字,从那时起到现在,这个数字的误差越来越小。为什么科学家花了这么长时间才得以确定地球的年龄?为什么他们能确信这个数字是准确的?要想回答诸如此类的问题,我们得把时钟回拨到300年前。     

西秦岭中生代花岗岩锆石U-Pb-Lu-Hf同位素特征及地质意义

对西秦岭地区中川岩体、柏家庄岩体和教场坝花岗岩体进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素年代学分析, 获得其岩浆侵位年龄分别为220±1, 216±6和222±3 Ma, 表明3个岩体均形成于中?晚三叠世。样品的全岩地球化学分析结果表明, 3个岩体具有相似的稀土及微量元素特征, 均表现为显著亏损高场强元素Nb, Ti和P等, 具有明显的右倾式球粒陨石标准化稀土元素配分模式。锆石Lu-Hf同位素分析结果表明, 3个岩体锆石测年样品的ε_Hf(t)值介于?3.31~+1.68之间, 二阶段模式年龄介于1151~1456 Ma之间。岩石成因分析表明, 这些印支期花岗岩体的母岩浆主要来源于新元古代地壳物质的部分熔融。结合岩体形成时代、岩石成因和区域岩浆作用, 认为这些岩体形成于南秦岭与华南板块沿勉略缝合带相碰撞的造山动力学背景, 可能与华南板块的俯冲板片断离有关。
