    The moisture content of the soil is the main factor affecting the quality of fine-grained soil. Rapid recognition of soil surface moisture content is an urgent need for developing intelligent monitoring and construction technology in agricultural and geotechnical engineering. In order to overcome the limitation that traditional water content measurement or monitoring methods cannot meet the real-time nondestructive monitoring of soil surface moisture content, an intelligent moisture content recognition algorithm based on the image is developed. Firstly, we collected surface photos of 4 different types of soils under different moisture contents in the laboratory and obtained a high-quality sample library of more than 1 400 pictures, which laid a data foundation for machine learning model construction. Then the classical convolutional neural network is used to learn the image dataset of soil moisture content, and the intelligent recognition model of soil moisture content is established. The model comparison results show that the model based on ResNet34 architecture has the best moisture content recognition effect, and the average error of moisture content prediction on the test set is about 2%. This model basically meets the requirement of real-time nondestructive monitoring of soil surface moisture content and can provide an essential means for the development of intelligent monitoring and construction technology in agricultural and geotechnical engineering.

    Qiongdongnan basin is a newly discovered gas hydrate exploration target area in China. There are two types of gas hydrate (i.e. pore hydrate and chimney hydrate), which are characterized by different seismic reflection characteristics. However, there are limitations in using bottom simulating reflections (BSR) in seismic profiles to identify gas hydrate in deep water area of Qiongdongnan basin. For the identification and saturation prediction of gas hydrate in Qiongdongnan basin, AVO forward modeling and broadband seismic inversion analysis are carried out in this study. The elastic parameter characteristics of natural gas hydrate were clarified, and geophysical identification methods for gas hydrate were established. Then, isotropic and anisotropy quantitative saturation evaluation methods were established for pore and chimney hydrates respectively. Based on broadband seismic inversion and saturation prediction using high quality seismic data, this study successfully identified pore hydrate and chimney hydrate in Qiongdongnan basin, and delineated gas hydrate enrichment areas. Three hydrate deposits with maximum saturation above 50% have been selected, the prediction effect of which is further confirmed by drilling exploration. Our results contribute to the selection of hydrate drilling stations and reduce the risk of hydrate drilling in Qiongdongnan basin, and the research method has guiding significance for hydrate exploration in other similar basins.

    To investigate the depositional environment evolution and controlling factors of a mountainous river estuary during the Holocene, in this study it selected a drilling core (MLX-S) from the river mouth of Mulanxi, a tidal-controlled mountainous river in central Fujian Province, China. The core was subjected to radiocarbon dating, optically stimulated luminescence dating, grain size analysis, XRF core scanning, and ICP-OES elemental measurements. During the Holocene, the Mulanxi estuary experienced a transition from fluvial facies to riparian marsh facies, shallow marine facies, and finally to tide-controlled estuarine facies. The sedimentary environment evolution was primarily influenced by relative sea-level changes in the study area. The relative sea level along the coast of central Fujian is around 9.0 ka and about -20 m. Subsequently, the marine transgression reached the strongest and the maximum sea level occurred around 5.8 ka, followed by a slow decline till the present. High-resolution XRF core scanning data, after calibration of element relative intensities, can indicate sediment provenance and paleoenvironmental changes. The downcore variation of K/Ti ratio suggests that since 8.8 ka, the sediments in the Mulanxi Estuary were mainly derived from a mixture source of local basin erosion and fine offshore material from the Changjiang (Yangtze River). The core Fe/Ti ratio reached its peak in four strong East Asian winter monsoon periods of about 3.6 ka, 4.3 ka, 5.4 ka and 6.0 ka, corresponding to periods of strong East Asian winter monsoon, which is consistent with the sedimentary records on the East China Sea inner shelf and tightly related to the changes of Min-Zhe coastal current intensity. This study reveals the typical river-sea interaction in the tide-controlled mountainous estuaries along the southeastern coast of China, and suggests the complex source-sink transport processes of Changjiang-derived fine sediments on the continental shelf driven by the Holocene monsoon and sea level changes. This study also promotes the potential application of XRF core scanning in the continental margin where has the unique sedimentary dynamics and environmental changes.

    The sedimentary filling evolution during the Paleogene rifting process in Zhu I depression remains hotly disputed. Tracing source to sink process of the Paleogene was carried out on the sandstones of Wenchang Formation and Enping Formation in Zhu I depression, with the method of zircon U-Pb dating. The geochronology, provenance and sedimentary filling evolution in different evolution stages were further explored. The results show that the sags in Zhu I depression not only received the intrabasinal provenances from the paleo-uplift area, but also were affected by the terrigenous supply transported from the northern peripheral uplifts in South China Block during rifting stage. The Wenchang Formation sediments were dominated by intrabasinal short-distance provenances, which were derived from paleo-uplifts nearby the sags, including Mesozoic magmatic rocks, Mesozoic sedimentary strata and Cenozoic volcanics. The U-Pb geochronology of all sags was characterized by the dominance of Yanshanian clusters except for multi-peaks in Yanshanian, Indosinian, Caledonian periods in Lufeng Sag. The sediments of the Enping Formation were firstly affected by the materials from the South China Block in the north of Enping Sag and the west of Huizhou Sag. During the deposition period of the upper Enping Formation, the age spectra of Zhu I depression sediments show a wide Proterozoic to Mesozoic range with the peak complexity in Yanshanian, Indosinian, Caledonian and Jinningian periods. Thus, the sags were filled by the materials from both the South China Block and peripheral uplifts with the gradual increase of material supply from the South China Block, indicating that the basin provenances had changed from near-source to far-source ones. Meanwhile, the Zhu I depression was characterized by large shallow braided deltas that were formed via relatively long-distance transportation.

    To address the problems of landslide susceptibility prediction (LSP) modeling including possible errors in landslide and non-landslide samples, complex non-linear relationships between environmental factors and unaddressed machine learning interpretability, a deep learning-based Self-screening Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory and Conditional Random Fields (SBiLSTM-CRF) model is proposed to reduce the impact of these problems on LSP and improve its confidence. The SBiLSTM-CRF model has the advantages of deep learning network with deep layers, wide width and iterative modeling, which can predict the non-linear relationship between environmental factors and automatically screen out the wrong landslide samples; it can select non-landslide samples from the initial low/very low landslide susceptibility zone through iterative modeling, and finally reveal the internal mechanism of the coupling of environmental factors to predict landslide susceptibility. The SBiLSTM-CRF model is used to predict landslide susceptibility in Yanchang County of China, and compared with cpLSTM-CRF, random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and logistic regression (LR) models. The results show that SBiLSTM-CRF overcomes the problems of sample error and complex nonlinear relationship between factors in traditional machine learning, has superior performance in modeling susceptibility than conventional machine learning, and the interpretability of the model reveals that factors such as slope, elevation and lithology control the development of mounded landslides in Yanchang County.

    Due to the complex interaction between geological environment and human activities, the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is prone to frequent landslides. It is urgent to carry out landslide vulnerability assessment, selecting suitable influencing factors and training models. In this study, the CLP was taken as the study area. Based on field landslide survey and data collection, an evaluation system including topography, basic geological environment, meteorology and hydrology, human activities, soil physical and chemical properties, and vegetation coverage was built. The information model (IV) was used to connect the random forest model (RF) and convolutional neural network model (CNN) to build coupling models IV-RF and IV-CNN, and landslide susceptibility evaluation research was carried out. The results show that the accuracy of the coupling model (IV-RF, IV-CNN) is higher than that of the independent model (RF, CNN), and the AUC values of the four models are 0.916, 0.938, 0.878, and 0.853, respectively. The IV-CNN has stronger prediction ability and accuracy. The areas of extremely high, high, medium, low, and extremely low vulnerability areas in the IV-CNN model account for 8.78%, 7.47%, 15.34%, 19.82%, and 47.87% respectively, which are mainly distributed in the mountainous and loess hilly areas with complex geological environment and strong human activities in the south and east of the loess plateau. Slope, erosion type, landform type, clay content and distance from the road rank in the top five in the contribution rate analysis, and are the main control factors affecting the landslide development. The purpose of this study is to provide reliable scientific basis for the prediction and prevention of landslide disasters in the CLP, deepen the modeling idea for landslide vulnerability evaluation research, and optimize the uncertainty of independent model evaluation results.

    In order to understand the interannual variation and control mechanism of carbon fluxes in inland river basins in cold and arid regions, an integrated watershed-scale flux observing network has been constructed for the main ecosystems in the Heihe River basin, including alpine ecosystems in the upper reaches and arid ecosystems in the lower reaches. The observed data analysis indicates that the annual net ecosystem productivity (NEP) and annual gross primary productivity (GPP) were the largest at the cropland site (maize, 729.81 g C/m2/a and 1 184.60 g C/m2/a) and the smallest at the Gobi desert site (94.18 g C/m2/a and 134.97 g C/m2/a) in the Heihe River basin. As to the annual ecosystem respiration (Reco), the wetland ecosystem was the largest (460.22 g C/m2/a), and the Gobi desert ecosystem was the smallest (41.18 g C/m2/a). The explaining capacity of the temperature to GPP, NEP and Reco inter-annual variability is higher in the alpine ecosystems than that in the arid ecosystems. In comparison, the explaining capacity of the soil moisture to GPP, NEP and Reco inter-annual variability is lower in the alpine ecosystems than that in the arid ecosystems. In the upper reaches, GPP, NEP and Reco are positively correlated with GPP, NEP, Reco among sites, but the opposite is true in the middle and down reaches. The shallow soil moisture is positively correlated with NEP, GPP and Reco among all sites in the Heihe River basin. In the upstream, shallow soil moisture is more closely correlated with NEP, GPP and Reco than deep soil moisture, but the deep soil moisture is more closely correlated with NEP, GPP and Reco than shallow soil moisture in the middle and lower reaches.

    On the basis of reviewing the current situation and history of groundwater resources evaluation in the Pearl River basin, this paper discusses the basic principle and basic database of SWAT distributed hydrological model. We divided the Pearl River basin into 129 four-level groundwater systems, and fully considered the parameter sensitivity of karst, bedrock fissures and pore aquifer media. Based on the monthly measured runoff of 9 hydrological stations from 2008 to 2016, we carried out parameter calibration and model calibration, calculated the rainfall assurance rate in different years according to the rainfall from 1957 to 2017, analyzed and evaluated the multi-year groundwater resources in the Pearl River basin. Finally, we carried out the inversion of rainfall infiltration coefficient and groundwater recharge model parameters. Through this assessment, the average recharge of the Pearl River basin from 2010 to 2016 is 148.802 billion m3, and the total recharge of groundwater in extra dry years (2011), normal years (2010) and high water years (2016) are 71.949 billion m3, 144.682 billion m3 and 178.187 billion m3 respectively, of which the rainfall in high water years is about 1.7 times that in extra dry years, the groundwater recharge is 2.48 times, karst. The total annual recharge of bedrock fissure and pore water bearing medium is 52.991 billion m3, 44.513 billion m3 and 51.298 billion m3 respectively. Through parameter inversion, the average annual groundwater recharge modulus is 10.83 L/s·km2 and the rainfall infiltration coefficient is 0.246, in order to provide data support and scientific services for groundwater development, utilization, treatment and protection in the basin.

    Accurate displacement prediction plays an important role in landslide early warning. However, the majority of the existing data-driven models focus on single-point modeling based on time series data which cannot consider the deformation correlation in the whole slope. To overcome this drawback, this study proposed a spatial-temporal attention (STA) mechanism-based deep learning model which combined the convolutional neural network (CNN) with the long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network. A convolutional block attention module (CBAM) combined with CNN was developed to extract the spatial deformation characteristics of the slope. A temporal attention module and LSTM model were used to learn the significant historical information from the input external conditions time series data. The model also allowed to output the tempo-spatial attention weights to reveal the tempo-spatial characteristics of landslide deformation. The Paotongwan landslide with step-like behavior displacement in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) of China was used to validate the model performance. The results show that, the root mean square error (RMSE) and the mean average percentage error (MAPE) of the STA-CNN-LSTM model decreased 9.28% and 13.88%, respectively, compared with grey wolf optimization optimized support vector machine (GWO-SVM). The attention weight results calculated by STA-CNN-LSTM demonstrate that rainfall had a larger impact on the deformation of the Paotongwan landslide at the beginning of the monitoring while the influence of reservoir water level decreased with ongoing of the monitoring.

    In most of the landslide susceptibility prediction (LSP) models, the landslide-non landslide spatial datasets are divided into training/testing datasets according to the principle of spatial random, however, this spatial randomness division inevitably introduces uncertainties into LSP modelling. Theoretically, LSP modelling is based on past landslide inventories to predict the spatial probability of future landslides, which has significant time series characteristics rather than only spatial random characteristics. Therefore, we believe that it is necessary to divide spatial datasets into the model training/testing datasets based on the time series of landslide occurrence. Taking Wencheng County in China as an example, 11 types of environmental factors and 128 time-accurate landslides are obtained; Then, the landslide and non-landslide samples connected with environmental factors are divided into two different types of training/testing datasets according to the principles of landslide time series and spatial random, respectively. The division ratios of training/testing datasets are set as 9∶1, 8∶2, 7∶3, 6∶4 and 5∶5, respectively, to avoid the influences of different ratios on the LSP results. Thus, the training/testing datasets under 10 combined working conditions are obtained. Finally, several typical machine learning models, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Random Forest (RF), are then trained and tested to perform LSP and analyze their uncertainties. Results show that: (1) The LSP uncertainties performed by the time series-based SVM, MLP and RF models are slightly lower than those by spatial random-based models, which verifies the feasibility of dividing by time series; (2) The time series division of training/testing datasets is actually a “deterministic” case among the spatial random division, which is more consistent with the actual situation of landslides. Of course, it is also feasible to carry out spatial random division for training and testing datasets when lacking landslide occurrence time.

    Many loess landslides were caused by the agricultural irrigation in Heifangtai terrace, Yongjing County, Gansu Province. Their stability analysis and critical slip surface identification are particularly important, as it can provide a good support to disaster prevention. The loess landslides located on the margin of Heifangtai terrace have the characteristics of progressive backward failure, and the occurred and potential landslides are highly similar. The results from back analysis can provide important data basis for future landslide stability prediction. In this paper, the finite difference strength reduction method was used to calibrate the cohesion and internal friction angle of loess based on the NSGA-II genetic algorithm by setting three objective optimization functions (i.e., mean value of soil strength parameters, slip surface and factor of safety). Taking Dangchuan 2# landslide in Heifangtai terrace as a study case, based on the slip surface observed after the first slide and assuming its factor of safety was equal to 1, the back analysis results show that the cohesion and internal friction angle of natural loess were 28.20 kPa and 25.16°; and the effective cohesion and internal friction angle of saturated loess were 16.59 kPa and 16.11°. Based on the computed results, the factor of safety and critical slip surface of the three subsequent slides were predicted, with their comparison with in-site observation information. The results show that a more reasonable estimation of loess strength parameters can be obtained by using the multi-objective constraint optimization algorithm, which provides a new solution for the stability analysis and quantitative risk assessment of landslides in Heifangtai terrace.

    The Laohushan monogenic volcano is located in Dakouqin area, southern Jilin Province. In order to explore the geochemistry characteristics and genesis of the Miocene tephrite in this volcanic area, together with the coupling between it and the evolution of regional fault structure, the whole rock geochemistry and Pb isotope study on it were carried out. Na2O/K2O values of the tephrites are range from 1.30 to 1.38, with low A/CNK (0.97-1.09) and high Mg# (58.05-61.11) values. The tephrites are enriched in high field strength elements (HFSEs), such as Th, U and Nb, and relatively weakly enriched in large ion lithophile elements (LILEs), such as Rb, Ba and K, with LREE/HREE=10.66-11.32. The values of 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb and 208Pb/204Pb are range from 17.661 to 17.675, 15.451 to 15.457 and 37.652 to 37.692, respectively. The parental magma is mainly from the asthenosphere mantle, with a small amount of subducted oceanic crust components, which shows the attribute characteristics of OIB (oceanic island basalt) or intraplate metasomatic enriched mantle source. The depth range of magma formation is about 93-105 km, and the existence of the Yitong-Shulan fault provides conduit and space for magma upwelling and fissure eruption. In addition, the formation of basaltic magma and its associated volcanic activity occurred in an extensional tectonic environment.

    Marine sediment is not only a critical burial area of organic carbon from various sources but also a very active biogeochemical reactor, which plays a vital role in the global marine carbon cycle. Compared with the geochemical testing and qualitative description methods, the numerical model can break through the limitations of time and space and quantitatively obtain the reaction rate and flux of each carbon cycle process in marine sediments. Therefore, it has been paid more and more attention by the academic community. The degradation of organic matter in marine sediments is the most critical biogeochemical process driving the carbon cycle. Part of the dissolved inorganic carbon released into the surrounding pore water can diffuse to the overlying water column. The other part can form authigenic carbonate minerals with calcium and magnesium plasma precipitation. In this paper it firstly reviews the modeling process of three main types of sediment organic matter degradation models (discrete model, reactive continuum model, and Power model) and their applications in the global marine sediment organic matter degradation process. Then, starting from the primary and secondary reactions related to the degradation of organic matter, the description method of the reaction rate model of geochemical processes related to the degradation of organic matter in sediments is introduced, and the influence of the degradation of organic matter on the formation of authigenic carbonates and their carbon isotopes is discussed from the perspective of carbonate equilibrium system and isotope mass balance model. Finally, the problems and shortcomings of the current mathematical model in describing the degradation process of organic matter and the formation of authigenic carbonate are analyzed, and on this basis, the research points that need to be strengthened in the future are prospected. It is hoped that in this paper it will provide useful scientific support for understanding the mutual feedback between the ocean carbon cycle and global climate change and establishing a reliable prediction system for ocean carbon cycle and biogeochemistry.

    According to the geological characteristics of deep shale gas, such as large horizontal stress difference, small vertical stress difference and strong rock plastic characteristics, evaluation methods were established for the logging curve, total organic carbon, porosity, all gas hydrocarbon, key logging elements, silicon, mineral brittleness, rock mechanics parameters, etc.. And the geology-engineering double sweet spot study along the horizontal wellbore was carried out based on the design concept of geology-engineering integration, so as to accurately identify optimal geological & engineering sweet spot, providing guidance for horizontal well fracturing in deep shale gas play. Then, based on three-dimensional fracture network with high fracture conductivity as the objective function, the volume fracturing pump mode and key parameter optimizations were studied for deep shale gas well under narrow pressure window, i.e., circuitous temporary plugging fracturing technology optimization, the dynamic movement of proppant in complex fracture network and test of fracture conductivity, and research and development for integrated variable viscosity slick water, etc.. Field applications demonstrate that the geology-engineering integration volumetric fracturing technology could improve post-frac gas production by more than 30%-50% compared with adjacent wells. The technology can greatly improve the economic development of deep shale gas wells, and it also has important guiding significance for shale gas wells with vertical depth more than 4 500 m as well.

    夏商以来,江汉平原发育的古云梦泽具有重要的历史、地理、文化与生态环境研究价值,但长久以来受到历史记载贫乏和钻孔调查精度的限制,古云梦泽的成因、分布、演化的时空格局尚不清晰.在前人历史文献和钻孔调查基础上,本文首次系统开展了钻孔高分辨率古环境演化研究,真实还原了4 000年来古云梦泽形成演化历史,全面而深刻地揭示了古云梦泽沉积地貌过程与区域新构造运动、气候变化、河道变迁和人类活动的关系.多钻孔沉积学分析表明,古云梦泽发育时期沉积环境具有多样性,包括河床相、漫滩相、湖相和三角洲相,指示了“河流-湖泊-三角洲”复合沉积体系.沉积相自西向东分布呈现一定规律,西部以漫滩相、三角洲相为主,中部以漫滩相、三角洲、湖相为主,东部以湖相为主,古地理重建表明古云梦泽是江汉平原内部河间洼地发育的多变的湖群景观.根据历史文献与钻孔记录重建了古云梦泽形成演化的4个时期:鼎盛期(夏商时期)、淤浅期(周秦汉时期)、萎缩期(魏晋南北朝时期)和湮灭期(唐宋时期).结果表明,古云梦泽形成演化主要受到新构造运动、气候变化、洪水泛滥与河道变迁以及人类活动的叠加影响:(1)新构造沉降为古云梦泽分布创造了空间条件,长江主泓来水来沙为古云梦泽出现创造了可能,但后续长江主泓的南移对古云梦泽演化趋势影响显著;(2)ENSO(El Ni?o-Southern Oscillation)关联的季风异常降水与河道洪水泛滥作用推动了古云梦泽的兴盛,而荆江三角洲的推进与古云梦泽的於浅及萎缩有关;(3)唐宋以来,随着荆江统一河床的塑造、人为筑堤堵穴、围湖建垸和围湖造田加速了古云梦泽的湮灭.总之,本研究揭示了古云梦泽形成演化的时空格局及其复杂的影响机制,为存在已久的争议提供了可靠的答案,也为预测未来长江中游地区江湖关系演变和现代江汉湖群保护提供了重要参考.

    Wuchiapingian is a key interval as a fast ecosystem recovery period between two mass extinctions, the End-Guadalupian crisis and the End-Permian mass extinction. Carbonate platforms were widely distributed in the middle of Yangtze platform and the Dian-Qian-Gui area during this interval. Among them, the Leye carbonate platform is one of the typically isolated carbonate platforms within the Nanpanjiang basin. The continuous Wuchiapingian marine carbonate (Heshan Formation) was deposited above the disconformity surface on the top of Guadalupian Maokou Formation. The traditional Middle-Late Permian stratigraphic frame scale in this area mainly relies on the fusulinids biozones, while only a few Wuchiapingian conodonts have been reported. Here, conodonts from the base of Heshan Formation at the Shuabacun Section and the Liuwei Section in the Leye platform have been obtained and studied. Eight conodont species (including one new species) belonging to two genera in total were identified, and they are Clarkina asymmetricaC. aff. asymmetrica, C. daxianensisC. dukouensisC. leveniHindeodus julfensisH. typicalis and Hindeodus praechangxingensis sp. nov. . In ascending order, two conodont zones, the C. asymmetrica Zone and the C. leveni Zone can be identified at the Shuabacun Section. And one conodont zone, the C. asymmetrica Zone is also identified at the Liuwei Section. Based on this, we surmise that the beginning of the early Wuchiapingian carbonate deposition occurs in the C. asymmetrica Zone at Leye carbonate platform, after the global end-Guadalupian regression. It can provide important data for studying the local carbonate platform and basin evolution and also regional stratigraphic correlation.

    Selecting Indosinian granite in thermal storage layer of hot dry rock targets in the Gonghe basin,Qinghai Province, as the goal layer, using high pressure fluid displacement experiment device, the core fissure seepage and stress coupling loops and unloading test was carried out in this study. The influence law of stress loading process on granite rough fracture permeability was analyzed, and the evolution characteristics of granite fracture permeability in the experimental process were analyzed by numerical simulation technology. The results show that: (1) stress loading leads to deformation of fracture contact surface, which is the main factor affecting fracture seepage, and fracture permeability is negatively correlated with confining pressure. (2) The sensitivity of fracture permeability to different stress loading modes is different; (3) The mathematical empirical formula is obtained on the basis of the test, and the seepage evolution law in the granite fracture channel is analyzed by numerical simulation. The simulation results fit well with the experiment.

    Ammonium plays an important role in the biogeochemical cycle of arsenic, but the mechanism of ammonium input on algae-mediated As(III) bio-oxidation remains unexplored. The arsenic-resistant cyanobacteria Anabaena sp. was used in this study. Through laboratory simulation experiments, the toxicity, oxidation of different As(Ⅲ)concentrations mediated by Anabaena sp. was investigated. The influences of the input of exogenous ammonium on the growth of Anabaena sp. and the oxidation of As(Ⅲ) were also explored. The results show that the IC50 value of Anabaena sp. was 15.59 mg/L, and 0.1 mg/L, 1 mg/L and 10 mg/L As(Ⅲ) were completely oxidized to As(V) within 1 d, 2 d and 7 d, respectively, after inoculating Anabaena sp., With the concentration of As(Ⅲ) increased, the nitrogen fixation effect of Anabaena sp. is enhanced. Furthermore, the growth of Anabaena sp. was promoted within 234 mg/L NH4 +. With the increase of NH4 + concentration from 0 mg/L to 1 mg/L, 45 mg/L and 234 mg/L, 1 mg/L As(Ⅲ) was completely oxidized at 48 h, 36 h, 24 h and 12 h, respectively, as the concentration of NH4 + increases, the adsorption of Anabaena sp. to arsenic increases, and the oxidation of As(Ⅲ) accelerates. The research results help to interpret the role of ammonium nitrogen in the process of arsenic biotransformation in natural waters.

    Garnet bearing granodiorite in the Jianfengshan area on the northern margin of Qaidam basin is vein distributed in Dakendaban rock group. The rocks are mainly composed of quartz (30%-35%), plagioclase (45%-50%), potassium feldspar (15%-20%), biotite (5%) and a small amount of muscovite (<5%),garnet (<5%).Zircon U-Pb dating shows that the formation age of garnet bearing granodiorite is (441.1 ± 1.4) Ma, belonging to Early Silurian.The rocks have high SiO2 (66.27%-74.42%), Na2O (3.47%-6.75%), Al2O3 (14.71%-20.43%), low MgO (0.07%-0.56%), Mg# (19.8-43.6) contents and strong peraluminite (A/CNK ranges from 0.99~1.34).The minerals are enriched in U, K, Ba and depleted in Nb, Ta, Sr, P, Eu, Ti and other elements. The REE distribution curves show a right-leaning pattern, showing a weak negative Eu anomaly (δEu= 0.31-0.81). The rocks have high I Sr values (0.707 123-0.708 081) and negative ε Nd(t) values (-1.91 to -2.37), and the two-stage model age T DM2 is 1 660-1 756 Ma. After correction, (206Pb/204Pb)i value is 18.354 7-18.582 2, (207Pb/204Pb)i value is 15.365 4-15.641 2, (208Pb/204Pb)i value is 38.254 7-38.654 1. Zircon Hf ε Hf(t) ratios range from 2.5 to -9.1, and the corresponding Hf isotopic crust model ages T DM2 range in 1 263-2 012 Ma. The study of rock geochemistry and isotopes shows that the garnet bearing granodiorite in the Jianfengshan is an S-type granite, which was formed in the collision orogenic stage between Qaidam block and Qilian block. It is the early subducted continental and oceanic crust that experienced ultra-high pressure metamorphism (eclogite facies conditions) and the rise of partially molten fluid, resulting in the partial melting of the continental crust.

    Liaodong is an important gold producing area in China, and it has become a key research direction to achieve a new breakthrough in deep prospecting here. Geophysical method is the main technical means to discover and detect deep gold deposits. In order to finely characterize the stratigraphic structure of Qingchengzi ore concentration area, accurately reveal the geophysical anomalous characteristics of deep mineralized alteration zone, and establish the geophysical interpretation scale for deep prospecting, multi-parameter geophysical logging and borehole geophysical survey were carried out in ZK12-11 hole in Xiaotongjiabuzi gold mining area. Combined with drill core logging, the response characteristics of lithology and mineralized alteration zone of 300-990 m well section of the hole were analyzed by histogram and crossplot, and the drilling lithology profile and mineralized alteration layer were divided. The results show that the four parameters of natural gamma, apparent resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and polarizability can distinguish the main lithology of borehole, and can be used as the main basis for reconstructing the lithology profile of borehole. The content of pyrite in the pyritization layer is not high enough to cause the decrease of formation resistivity. Graphitization is the main factor causing the decrease of resistivity. The natural gamma high-low transition zone and the low resistivity and high polarization non-magnetic anomaly zone are the prospecting signs of geophysical logging for gold prospecting in Xiaotongjiabuzi gold deposit. Geophysical logging can effectively delineate favorable horizons for gold prospecting, and guide the deep prospecting work of gold deposit more accurately, which should be paid extensive attention.

    The deterioration of shear properties of schist under dry-wet cycles has an important effect on the long-term stability of schist slope. Taking the mica-quartz schist widely distributed in Northwest Hubei as the research object, a series of laboratory tests were carried out to reveal the law and mechanism of its shear deterioration. The results of water absorption tests and direct shear tests show that the water absorption of mica-quartz schist increases, while the shear strength and residual shear strength decrease gradually with the increase of the number of dry-wet cycles, and the shear properties show obvious deterioration effect. Based on the changes of mica-quartz schist microstructure obtained by scanning electron microscopy, the deterioration mechanism of mica-quartz schist is revealed. Under the action of dry-wet cycles, the schist plane gradually expands and cracks, the strength of internal mineral particles is softened, the cementation between particles is weakened, and the rock skeleton becomes loose. What’s more, the cohesion is mainly affected by the degree of cementation between mineral particles, so the deterioration rate is fast. While the internal friction angle is mainly affected by the degree of embeddedness and the strength of mineral particles, so the deterioration rate is relatively slow.

    To understand the interaction between sampling machines and lunar soil simulant, and to verify the feasibility of modular modeling of lunar soil sampling machines. The experimental study on mechanical penetration load under different conditions was carried out, based on the CUG-1A lunar soil simulant developed by China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), and the theoretical model was established based on the experimental results for verification. The average growth rate of penetration resistance of each machine in the shallow simulation of lunar soil was 19.9%, which was increased to 38.18% in the shallow simulation, and 63.43% in the deep simulation. The average error of penetration velocity to penetration resistance was 2.5%; the average growth rate between penetration angle and penetration resistance was 62.85%; the penetration resistance of different cross-section machines was approximately 1∶2∶3∶4. At the same time, the modular verification of the machine structure was carried out, and the accuracy of the test and model can reach more than 85%. The penetration resistance of sampling machines is significantly correlated with penetration depth, mode and machine structure, and the modular theoretical model can be established to accurately predict the penetration resistance of machines under different conditions.

    To ascertain the salinity origin and evolution of aquitard porewater in the coastal zone, this paper collected four borehole core samples in the Laizhou Bay, Lianyungang City, and porewater was then extracted by mechanical squeezing. The chemical and isotopic components of porewater were measured and a solute transport model of porewater since Holocene in a 2D typical section was established. The results show that the total dissolved solids of porewater range from 0.9 to 41.4 g/L from land to sea, and it is higher in shallower sediments and lower in deeper ones. Porewater has Cl/Br ratio of 170-533 (267 in average) and 87Sr/86Sr of 0.709 3-0.711 6, together with the positive correlation between Cl and δ18O, indicating that saline porewater is of marine origin and has been affected by silicate weathering and cation exchange. In the Holocene aquitard, porewater is trapped ancient seawater in 10-5 ka BP and the downward infiltration led to salinization of the underlying Pleistocene porewater. About 4 ka BP, porewater was diluted by freshwater in the regression, yet paleo-seawater has not been totally flushed. While in the area close to the coastline, the continuous evaporation led to the occurrence of much saltier porewater. Porewater simulation suggests that aquitard porewater salinity evolution is mainly controlled by transgression-regression events, and during transgression, seawater downward invaded in a “finger-like” pattern, resulting in the heterogeneous distribution of brackish and fresh groundwater.

    In order to extract accurately and efficiently the bare rock from high-resolution remote sensing image, in this study it used Chinese Gaofen-2 (GF-2) satellite imagery as data source, the slope difference bare rock index (SDBRI) and bare rock shadow index (BRSI) for the extraction of bare rock and bare rock shadow were created, respectively. Based on the two index models, it proposed a strategy for sub-meter-level high-resolution image bare rock extraction in the open-pit mining area. Then the southern mountainous area of Qingzhou City, Shandong Province was selected as the test area. The results show follows: In the SDBRI index image, the values of the bare rock can be easily distinguished from the surrounding vegetation. And the separability of bare rock and other objectives is significantly higher than that of other index models such as NDVI, CRI1, and CRI2. The visual interpretation results from the Google Earth high resolution images are used as verification data for accuracy evaluation, and the IoU index reaches about 91%. The method proposed in this paper can meet the needs of large-scale open rock mapping in mining areas based on Chinese high-resolution image data, and can provide technical support for remote sensing monitoring of mine environment, which has strong practical value.

    To identify the formation background of oil shale and the enrichment mechanism of high-quality intervals are the fundamental works for in-situ upgrading of oil shale reservoir. In this paper, geochemical methods, e.g., TOC, major and trace element, rare earth element and biomarkers, were carried out to restore paleosedimentary environment as well as discuss organic matter accumulation mechanism. The results suggest that oil shale within the entire interval of Youganwo Formation is rich in organic matter, and the bottom is composed of thin carbonaceous shale, sandstone and lignite. Mo content, Ba/Al, Babio and biomarkers all reflect that Youganwo Formation has high primary productivity, with intermittent “algal bloom” phenomenon. V/(V+Ni), Ceanom, Th/U, pyrite framboids and Pr/nC17-Ph/nC18 crossplot indicate that Youganwo Formation was anoxic environment. Sr/Cu, Rb/Sr and climate index C identify that the climate of Youganwo Formation was warm and humid. Sr/Ba, Ba/Ga, Ca/(Fe+Ca), Al2O3/MgO and gammacerane feature suggest that water of ancient lake is fresh. The ancient lake of Youganwo Formation was semi-deep to deep, proved by Zr/Al, Rb/K and MnO content. Through the correlations between paleo-environmental parameters with TOC content, it is deemed that the warm and humid climate and freshwater environment can provide good conditions for the flourishing of algae, forming high quality productivity, and therefore it determines the quality and development characteristics of Youganwo Formation oil shale. High primary productivity with abundant organic matter sources is the main condition for oil shale formation, and anoxic semi-deep to deep lake environment, as a promoting factor, is conducive to organic matter accumulation and preservation. To sum up, in this paper it proposes the accumulation model of organic matter in high-quality oil shale of Youganwo Formation in the Maoming Basin.

    The timing of the closure of the A’nyemaqen ocean, which was a branch of Paleo-Tethys ocean at the East Kunlun orogenic belt (EKOB), is still a subject of debate. In this study, it presents zircon U-Pb geochronology, whole-rock elemental geochemistry and Sr-Nd isotopic data on the Haidewula diabase in the eastern section of the EKOB. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb isotope dating reveals that the Haidewula diabase formed at 238±2 Ma. The diabase is characterized by low MgO (2.76%-6.34%) contents, as well as relatively high TiO2 (1.75%-2.46%) and Fe2O3 T (8.88%-12.30%) contents. The diabase shows enrichment in incompatible elements, but is relatively depleted in Nb, Ta, Sr, and Ti. All these geochemical characteristics imply that the diabase is a production of island arc magmatic activity. Additionally, the diabase displays enriched and uniform Sr-Nd isotopic compositions((87Sr/86Sr)i= 0.711 61-0.712 95, εNd(t) =-3.2 to -2.8). Based on the geochemical characteristics and isotopic compositions, it suggests that the Haidewula diabase was derived from partial melting of an enriched mantle, which had undergone metasomatism induced by the fluid released from the subducting slab, and had experienced some degree of crustal contamination during migration through continental crust. Combing our results and previous studies on Middle Permian-Triassic basic igneous rocks in the EKOB, it proposes that the northward subduction of the A’nyemaqen ocean lasted to the end of the Middle Triassic (238 Ma); the closure of the A’nyemaqen ocean happened during early Late Triassic; then, the tectonic environment of the eastern section of the EKOB transited into post-collisional extension no later than 228 Ma.

    The rare-metal and rare-earth mineralized alkaline-carbonatite complex was first discovered in the Dagele area of East Kunlun orogen. This discovery indicates that the East Kunlun orogen has great prospects for rare-metal mineralization. Related studies are vital for understanding the geological processes and searching for rare-metal deposits in East Kunlun orogen. This study reports the geochemistry and geochronology of baddeleyites from peridotite and carbonatite within the Dagele alkaline complex. Baddeleyites from peridotite mainly contain ZrO2 (96.48%-97.21%) with minor HfO2 (0.83%-1.17%) and Nb2O5 (0.61%-0.93%). After common Pb correction using measured 207Pb, they yield weighted average ages of 381.0±2.3 Ma and 417.5±3.4 Ma with low intercept ages of 381.1±2.3 Ma and 417.7±3.4 Ma, respectively. Baddeleyites from carbonatite are mainly composed of ZrO2 (91.1%), followed by HfO2 (4.3%), Nb2O5 (1.22%), and FeO (2.31%). They yield weighted average ages of 381.5±2.5 Ma and 416.5±4.5 Ma with low intercept ages of 381.8±1.8 Ma and 416.7±4.5 Ma, respectively. It is inferred that the carbonatite and peridotite are formed at 381.8 Ma and 417.7 Ma, respectively. There are at least two stages of enrichment of Nb in the silica-unsaturated magma. Post-collisional and post-orogenic lithosphere extension and partial melting of mantle beneath the East Kunlun collisional orogen were considered as the geodynamic mechanism for its formation. Therefore, it is suggested that the Late Silurian-Devonian is an important period of rare-metal mineralization. The area between Dagela and Nuomuhong River is one of the important regions for prospecting of rare-metal mineralization.

    The interaction between groundwater and rivers is critical to maintaining the health of river ecosystems, but the quantitative research on the groundwater discharge to large rivers in humid regions is currently weak. In response to this problem, in this paper it takes the Jingjiang Section of the middle reach of the Yangtze River as the study area, and uses the 222Rn mass balance model to estimate the groundwater discharge in the Jingjiang Section of the middle reach of the Yangtze River through field sampling and hydrometeorological data collection, and uses the EC mass balance model and water balance model to verify the result of 222Rn mass balance. The results show that the average groundwater discharge rate of the Jingjiang Section in the middle reach of the Yangtze River is 133 mm/d, the total discharge volume is 1.06×108 m3/d, and the contribution to the water balance is about 10.99%. Among different sub-sections, the groundwater discharge rate from Zhicheng to Shashi is the highest, and the groundwater discharge rate from Jianli to Luoshan is the lowest. Aquifer richness and groundwater table may be key factors controlling the rate of groundwater discharge. This research is of great significance for the local eco-environmental protection and the control and management of water resources, and can also provide a theoretical basis for the better development and utilization of water resources in the middle reach of the Yangtze River and eco-environmental protection in the future.

    The eastern North China Craton (NCC) experienced strong modification during the Early Cretaceous(130~120 Ma), accompanied by intensive magmatism. Here we compared the geochemical and Sr-Nd isotopic compositions of the Early Cretaceous (130~120 Ma) basaltic andesites to andesites from the Luxi region, the Tan-Lu fault, and the Jiaodong Peninsula in Shandong Province,to investigatethe characteristics of their melting sources, and further discussed the possible cause for the heterogeneity of the source. These rocks with insignificant crustal contamination were generally derived from the lithospheric mantle. They mainly experienced the fractional crystallization of clinopyroxene, apatite, and Ti-Fe oxide during magma differentiation. However, compared to those volcanic rocks in the Tan-Lu fault and the Jiaodong Peninsula, the volcanic rocks from northern Luxi experienced a relatively lower degree of evolution. These volcanic rocks are characterized by arc-like trace element patterns and enriched Sr-Nd isotopes. The Luxi volcanic rocks are characterized by EMⅠ-type mantle source (87Sr/86Sri<0.706), where as those rocks from the central-southern Luxi, the Tan-Lu fault, and the Jiaodong areas are characterized by EMⅡ-type mantle source (87Sr/86Sri>0.706), indicating that they were both derived from an enriched lithospheric mantle reservoir which was modified by crustal components. Noticeably, the extent of the enrichment of Sr-Nd isotopes in those volcanic rocks increases gradually from the Northwest to the Southeast. End-member mixing model indicates that the EMⅠ-type mantle source beneath the northern Luxi region was possibly metasomatized by components from the lower crust of the NCC, whereas the EMⅡ-type mantle beneath the central-southern Luxi, the Tan-Lu fault, and the Jiaodong districts was likely metasomatized by materials from the subducted Yangtze continental crust. Fluids from the subducted Paleo-Pacific plate subsequently metasomatized and hydrated the enriched lithospheric mantle of the NCC, leading to the modification in different degrees. Therefore, the Early Cretaceous volcanic rocks in the Shandong Province record significant modification within the lithospheric mantle induced by diverse crustal components. The heterogeneous modification provided critical constraints on the destruction of the lithospheric mantle beneath the eastern NCC.
