    Description: The aim of this study was to investigate the structure and ultrastructure of the digestive tract of Qinling lenok (Brachymystax tsinlingensis Li, 1966), a cold water Salmonidae fish, an endangered teleost species, with high potential for controlled rearing in Shaanxi Province of China, by light and electron microscopy. Morphological data of the digestive tract are important for understanding fish nutrition, pathological or physiological alterations. The histological structure of Qinling lenok consists of four layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis and serosa. Taste buds were found in lips and esophagus. The esophageal mucosa consists of undifferentiated mucous cells and surface epithelial cells. The U-shaped stomach was divided into cardiac, fundic and pyloric region. There are numerous gastric glands in the submucosa layer of the cardiac and fundic stomach, but none of them are present in the pyloric region. The convoluted tube-shape intestine is lined by simple columnar epithelial cells with microvilli at the apical surface, with an intestinal coefficient of 0.61. There are numerous goblet cells in the intestine. Finger-like pyloric caeca were found in the front of intestine tube, with number ranged from 42 to 88. In ultrastructural level, mucous and glandular cells in the stomach were found, the glandular cell with well-developed tubulovesicular system, a great amount of pepsinogen granules, mitochondria and Golgi apparatus. The enterocytes with abundant microvilli contained mitochondria and lysosome, and mucous granules of goblet cells were apparent in the intestine. High density of lipid droplets of pyloric caeca might be concerned with fat-absorption. The present study suggests that the digestive tract of Qinling lenok is similar to other carnivorous fishes, in relation to its feeding habits.

    Description: A series of laboratory intercalibrations of a CTD system were undertaken between 1986 and 1990 as part of cooperative research program between the United States (US) and People's Republic of China (PRC). A comparison of US and PRC calibration facility standards is carried out using a NBIS/EG&G Marine Instruments Mark IIIb CTD system as a "quasi-transfer standard." When compared with the quoted accuracy of the calibration facilities, pressure was found to be more accurate and temperatue was about as accurate as stated. The conductivity standard differences between facilities are difficult to assess because of the CTD conductivity sensor drift.

    Description: Pyrolysis and bulk kinetic studies were used to investigate the hydrocarbon generation potential and source rock organofacies variability of marine organic-rich rocks from the Middle Ordovician (Darriwilian) Goldwyer Formation in the Canning Basin, Western Australia. Rock-Eval pyrolysis results for the analysed immature to mid-mature calcareous mudstones imply that the upper Goldwyer Sequence I contains oil-prone type I kerogen, while the lower Goldwyer Sequence III contains type II/III oil- and gas-prone kerogen. This is supported by pyrolysis gas chromatography (Py-GC) results that show the presence of homogenous organofacies in the Goldwyer Sequence I having aliphatic molecular signatures, possibly due to selective preservation of lipids derived from Gloeocapsomorpha prisca (G. prisca). The heterogeneous organofacies of the Goldwyer Sequence III contain aromatic moieties in similar abundance to the aliphatic compounds. The calcareous claystones of the Goldwyer Sequence I have the capacity to generate low wax paraffinic oil, whereas the Goldwyer Sequence III has potential for paraffinic-naphthenic-aromatic (P-N-A) low wax oils, gas, and condensate. The temperature for hydrocarbon generation for the type I kerogen, assuming a constant geological heating rate of 3 °C/my, is estimated to occur over a narrow interval between 145 °C and 170 °C for the Goldwyer Sequence I samples. Generation from the type II/III kerogen occurs from 100 °C to 160 °C in the Goldwyer Sequence III samples which are significantly less thermally stable than the Goldwyer Sequence I samples. The kinetic results for both sequences were used in standard thermal and burial history plots to evaluate their transformation ratio and hydrocarbon generative potential. This provided basin-specific kinetic inputs for burial history modelling and better constraint on kerogen transformation and hydrocarbon generation on the Broome Platform.

    Description: To expand the newly developed ARM glasses as reference materials for in situ microanalysis of isotope ratios and iron oxidation state by a variety of techniques such as SIMS, LA-MC-ICP-MS and EPMA, we report Li-B-Si-O-Mg-Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb isotope data and Fe2+/ΣFe ratios for these glasses. The data were mainly obtained by TIMS, MC-ICP-MS, IR-MS and wet-chemistry colorimetric techniques. The quality of these data was cross-checked by comparing different techniques or by comparing the results from different laboratories using the same technique. All three glasses appear to be homogeneous with respect to the investigated isotope ratios (except for B in ARM-3) and Fe2+/ΣFe ratios at the scale of sampling volume and level of the analytical precision of each technique. The homogeneity of Li-B-O-Nd-Pb isotope ratios at the microscale (30–120 μm) was estimated using LA-MC-ICP-MS and SIMS techniques. We also present new EPMA major element data obtained using three different instruments for the glasses. The determination of reference values for the major elements and their uncertainties at the 95% confidence level closely followed ISO guidelines and the Certification Protocol of the International Association of Geoanalysts. The ARM glasses may be particularly useful as reference materials for in situ isotope ratio analysis.

    Description: Snow cornices are common snow patterns in mountain ridge, which have potential to trigger snow avalanches. In this work, we present a series of wind tunnel experiments in a cold laboratory to simulate the formation processes of snow cornices. We quantitatively investigated the growth rates of snow cornice in length and in thickness, as well as the airborne particle concentration by using a COMOS camera. From a micro view, we also observed the snow particle trajectory that can stick on the edge and form the cornice through high-speed camera. Based on the experimental results, we explained the mechanism of the formation and development of snow cornices, and the effects of the environmental factors on the cornice growth such as air temperature, wind speed. A conceptual model that can predict the horizontal growth rate of snow cornice in field is established. Our predicted results are in good agreement with the field observation data from Gruvefjellet, Svalbard. Based on the physics of drifting snow, our results provide a new insight into snow cornice formation and improve the understanding of cornice processes that can influence avalanche activities. The experimental results and the conceptual model can be useful in future snow cornice simulation and prediction work for cornice-induced avalanches.

    Description: Wind-blowing snow reshapes the snow patterns in high mountain areas and results in a significant impact on local energy balance and hydrological processes. High Mountain Asia, with the most abundant snow budget outside of polar regions, contributes a huge uncertainty to the estimation of terrestrial snow mass balance due to the interactions of blowing snow processes and complex terrain. In this work, we present a framework combining field observations, remote sensing, and high-resolution modeling to predict the snow cover evolution in the typical basins of High Mountain Asia. A mobile 3-D comprehensive observation system including radar systems, automatic weather station, and snow particle counters, was built to characterize the characteristics of wind – temperature – humidity – blowing snow flux profiles, as well as the resulting snow distribution patterns. Snow redistribution, blowing snow sublimation, snow cornice formation, and snow avalanche are processes considered in the framework. The field observations were compared to both remote sensing data and high-resolution modeling with CRYOWRF, a new modeling framework for atmospheric flow simulations for Cryospheric-regions, which couples the state-of-the-art and widely used atmospheric model WRF with the detailed snow cover model SNOWPACK. Our work has the potential to contribute to precise estimates of snow distribution in mountains.

    Description: Complex fault geometry can strongly affect earthquake rupture processes and slip sequences. I will first present our recent work on modeling earthquake and slow slip sequences on 3D fault surfaces, with applications to the Yingxiu-Beichuan fault (YBF) which hosted the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake in China and the Cascadia subduction zone. In the rate-and-state friction computational framework, earthquake and aseismic slip nucleate and propagate spontaneously under the influence of long-term tectonic loading and heterogeneous frictional properties. In particular, fault dip angle has a primary control on the along-strike segmentation of simulated earthquake and slow slip, in general agreement with observations from YBF and Cascadia. Fault local strike angle on the other hand strongly affects small-scale along-strike variations in the rupture speed and slip rate. Next, I will introduce a newly developed mixed-flux-based discontinuous Galerkin method and its application to simulate fully dynamic ruptures on complex fault geometries. The new method greatly reduces numerical dependence on mesh quality, and can accommodate complex fault properties including geometry, material heterogeneities and multi-physics mechanisms such as off-fault plasticity and thermal pressurization.

    Description: Saline water is a common fluid on the Earth‘s surface and in ice planets. Potassium chloride (KCl) is a common salt and is expected to be a ubiquitous solute in salt water in the Universe; however, few studies investigated the behavior of KCl-H2O system at high pressures and temperatures. In this study, powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), Raman and Brillouin scattering combined with diamond anvil cells were used to investigate the phase relation in the KCl-H2O system for different KCl concentrations at 0–4 GPa and 298–405 K. The results of powder X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering demonstrate that a novel KCl hydrate is formed when KCl aqueous solutions transform to solid ice-VI and ice-VII at high pressure. Simultaneously, the single-crystal of KCl hydrate is synthesized from a supersaturated KCl solution at 298 K and 1.8 GPa. The structure is solved by SC-XRD, indicating a KCl monohydrate with the P21/n space group is formed. We have verified the phase stability of KCl monohydrate by using Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory. Our results indicate that KCl monohydrate is a stable phase under pressure and temperature conditions between 1.6 and 2.4 GPa and 298–359 K. By considering the thermal profile and composition of icy moons, we hypothesize that the formation and decomposition of KCl monohydrate might induce mantle convection in these moons.

    Description: Hydrothermal alteration is crucial in the formation of many ore deposits, with potassium (K) mobilization and cycling being prevalent. Potassic metasomatism of wall rocks generally forms K-bearing minerals, such as hydrothermal feldspar and mica. However, determining the source and redistribution of K (and other elements transported by the same fluid) in hydrothermal systems is challenging. K isotopes offer a potential solution to this problem. This study presents new K isotope data from two K-rich alteration assemblages — K-feldspar and sericite-quartz-pyrite — in the Jiaodong gold province of China. The data covers a compositional range from unaltered granites to syn-magmatic potassic alteration (formation of K-feldspar) and post-magmatic syn-mineralization phyllic alteration (formation of sericite). Potassic alteration in granite correlates with significant K addition, whereas phyllic alteration of earlier phases of magmatic and hydrothermal K-feldspar resulted in K loss. K-feldspar altered granites display similar δ41K values (–0.55 to –0.42 ‰ for whole-rocks and –0.56 to –0.48 ‰ for K-feldspar separates) as unaltered granite (–0.52 to –0.47 ‰). The narrow δ41K range suggests that magmatic fluid exsolution and magmatic-hydrothermal alteration have a minor effect on δ41K of the altered rock. Phyllic alteration of K-feldspar altered precursor rock leads to K loss and elevated δ41K values ranging from –0.36 to –0.19 ‰ for whole-rocks and –0.34 to –0.17 ‰ for sericite mineral separates. As sericite preferentially incorporates 41K, sericite will have higher δ41K values than the precursor K-feldspar, whereas the fluids will have lower δ41K values. Our study demonstrates that hydrothermal alteration may affect the K isotope composition of altered rocks in several ways, contingent on the nature of the involved phases, making K isotopes a promising tool for studying hydrothermal alteration and associated mineralization.
