Department: |

Start Date: |
03/2005 |
Abstract: |
The fundamental objective of the proposed project is to develop new approaches/methods to facilitate recognition, identification, quantification, ranking/weighting, integration and delineation of various general and site-specific factors, which influence occurrence of landslides in time and space. Firstly, managing and preserving the original qualities of a multi-variable and multi-source data set which also show spatial and temporal variability is a significant challenge. Furthermore, some of these data are originally in linguistic form and needs to be quantified and integrated with the originally quantitative data without distorting their original notion. Thirdly, ranking and assigning weights to different factors are probably the weakest links in the susceptibility schemes. In order to tackle the first set of issues, the project should benefit from the data management, layer aggregation and graphical facilities of “geographical information systems”. In addressing the other issues, use of the fuzzy set theory and probabilistic multi-factor analysis together with the conditioning of the data using the well-documented landslides should provide a rigorous conceptual framework. |

Start Date: |

Abstract: |
While certain rock types such as most igneous rocks in fresh states are proven to be best performers when exposed to environmental and loading conditions as constituent materials of hydraulic structures, absence of such rocks necessitate consideration of marginal rock types for such projects. This study is designed to assess the suitability of impure limestone through characterization of its material properties and durability in-service. Limestone is one of the most common types of rocks found worldwide, especially along the coastlines. The ever-increasing demand for good quality (pure and massive) limestone as dimension and face stone in building industry leave only the poor quality limestone to be economical alternatives in armourstone production. However there are potential problems associated with the durability of such rocks. The analysis of historical performance of such rocks along the coastlines together with the characterization of source rocks should provide a significant input to the current understanding of their durability and degradation rates as armourstone. Material characterization including assessment of durability and degradation rates is crucial in geotechnical design, selection of appropriate quarrying (production), development of effective on-site sorting, handling, transport, placement and maintenance procedures, and finally realistic prediction of service-life of hydraulic structures built of rock. Thus this initial study will concentrate on material characterization of marginal (impure, porous, fractured and/or thinly bedded) limestone to determine what controls their past and future performance as armourstone. |

subtasks to investigate systematically and quantitatively the phenomenon of
air flow driven by water table fluctuation induced by sea tides: 1)
Literature review of existing publications on subsurface air flow induced by
natural forcings such as atmospheric or barometric pressure changes, water
table fluctuations, topographic effects, and rainfall infiltration. 2)
Hypothetical models and theoretical studies to examine some fundamental
issues related to airflow induced by tidal fluctuations such as enhancement
of rainfall infiltration by tide-driven airflow. 3) A field case study on

Abstract: |
(1) Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD)
is defined here as all direct discharge of groundwater across the ocean–land
interface, including recirculated seawater due to tidal fluctuations and
other forcings. The coastal areas are one of the most valuable and vulnerable
of Earth's habitats. Because coastal areas are the ultimate discharge zones
of groundwater, SGD into the coastal zone has received increased attention in
the last few years. SGD is now believed to represent an important pathway for
fluid and chemical transport between land and ocean, although it remains a
poorly understood phenomenon (Kim and Hwang 2002). The influence of SGD on
the environment and the ecology of coastal systems may be more important than
previously thought because of the many nutrients and contaminants carried in
groundwater. (2) SGD may be particularly important in the |

Abstract: |
Our current understanding is that the old
continental crust formed originally from partial melts derived from the
primitive mantle and the remaining residue formed the subcontinental
lithospheric mantle. This process resulted in relative depletion of Fe and
enrichment of Mg in the lithospheric mantle, leading to a lower density

Abstract: |
The Earth is an uniquel planet in the
universe because of its continental crust, a rocky layer at its surface.
Therefore, the growth history of the continental crust is an essential issue
to understand the evolution of the Earth. An easy method to estimate
continental growth rates is to investigate the age distribution of detrital
zircons from large rivers with drainage basins that sample a large area and
zircon is the most ideal mineral for isotope geochronological study since it
accommodates relatively high contents of U but extremely low Pb during
crystallization, and is resistant to secondary geological events. This
proposed study will conduct both U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope analyses of detrital
zircons from the |

Abstract: |
(1) The main objective of this project is
to determine the timing and tectonic setting of the Southern Margin Volcanic
Belt of the North China Craton. There is a hot debate on the age and tectonic
setting of this volcanic belt. Some workers propose that the belt formed as
an intracontinental rift (Sun et al., 1981; Zhang, 1989; Yang, 1990), whereas
others argue that it represents a long-lived, subduction-related, continental
margin accretionary belt (Jia, 1985; Chen, 1992). This controversy results
from the lack of reliable isotopic, structural and geochemical data for the
Southern Margin Volcanic Belt. This project aims to apply an integrated
multidisciplinary approach, including field, structural, geochemical and geochronological
studies, to resolve this controversial geological issue. (2) We will meet the
above objective by: 1) investigating the geological occurrence and
distribution of volcanic rocks and associated intrusions in the Southern
Margin Volcanic Belt; 2) carrying out field- and laboratory-based structural
analysis of the belt in order to work out whether the major structural phase
is extensional or compressional, which is critical in discriminating rifting
from continental margin arc settings; 3) undertaking detailed petrographic
examination of representative thin sections in order to characterize the
mineral assemblages and fabrics of these igneous rocks; 4) constraining
tectonic settings of the belt by using rock associations and geochemical
fingerprints; and (5) dating the eruption and emplacement time of the
volcanic rocks and associated intrusions of the belt by utilizing the SHRIMP
U–Pb zircon geochronology. (3) The results of this project will not only
allow us to work out when and how the Southern Margin Volcanic Belt formed,
but will also place a first-order constraint on the configuration of the
North China Craton in the proposed Paleo-Mesoproterozoic Columbia (Nuna)
supercontinent (Rogers and Santosh, 2002, Zhao et al., 2002, 2004; Pesonen et
al., 2003). If the Southern Margin Volcanic Belt represents a
Paleo-Mesoproterozoic rift belt, it implies that the southern margin of the
North China Craton must have been connected to another continental fragment

Abstract: |
Major advancements in understanding the geological history of the North China Craton have been made in the past a few years, following recognition of three major Paleoproterozoic tectonic belts: the Khondalite Belt, Trans-North China Orogen and Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt in the western, central and eastern parts of the craton, respectively (Zhao et al., 2001, 2005). The Trans-North China Orogen divides the North China Craton into two discrete blocks, named the Eastern and Western Blocks, whereas the Paleoproterozoic Khondalite Belt divides the Western Block into the Yinshan Terrane in the North and the Ordos Terrane in the south, and the Paleoproterozoic Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt lies in the Eastern Block. There is a broad consensus that the Khondalite Belt and Trans-North China Orogen represent two independent Paleoproterozoic continent-continent collisional belts, with the former formed by the collision between the Yinshan and Ordos Blocks to form the coherent Western Block at ~1.9 Ga (Zhao et al., 2005; Xia et al., 2006), and the latter formed by the amalgamation of the Western and Eastern Blocks to form the North China Craton at about 1.85 Ga (Zhao et al., 2001, 2005). There are now coherent outlines of the timing and tectonic processes involved in the Palaeoproterozoic amalgamation and much intensive knowledge concerning the pre-collisional history of these collisional belts that were subsequently incorporated into the North Chian Craton. However, the tectonic nature of the Paleoproterozoic Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt still remains controversial (Yang et al., 1988; Bai and Dai, 1998; He and Ye, 1998; Li et al., 2005). Tectonic models for the Paleoproterozoic Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt range from those invoking the opening and closing of an intra-continental rift in the Eastern Block of the North China Craton (Zhang and Yang, 1988; Li et al., 2005), to those involving a continental collisional belt along which two metamorphic terranes (He and Ye, 1998) or a continent and an island arc (Bai and Dai, 1998) collided to form a coherent continental block. These debates reflect the lack of geological data, especially of structural and geochronological data for the major lithologies of the Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt. This project aims to test these models by carrying out extensive field-based structural investigations followed by detailed geochronological studies on the major lithologies of the Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt. Specifically, the objectives of this project are: (1) to investigate the geological occurrence and distribution of major lithologies in the Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt; (2) to carry out field-based structural analysis of the belt in order to work out whether the major structural phase is extensional or compressional, which is critical in discriminating rifting from continental margin arc settings; and (3) to date the eruption and emplacement time of the metamorphic rocks of the belt by utilizing the LA-ICP-MS and SHRIMP techniques. |

Abstract: |
Introduction: major source of V and Ti in
the world comes from layers or lenses of massive Fe-Ti oxides hosted in
layered intrusions, which are considered to be remnants of mafic magma
chambers. However, the fundamental process by which V and Ti, generally
present in low quantities in mantle-derived magmas, are concentrated to form
massive bodies of Fe-Ti oxides is not fully understood. Key issues and
problems: A number of layered intrusions hosting Fe-Ti-V oxide deposits in |

Abstract: |
Background of Research Our previous
studies have focused on the Permian (~260 Ma) Emeishan Large Igneous Province
(ELIP) and advanced the knowledge about the controls on two styles of
mineralization: Ni-Cu-(PGE) sulfide and Fe-Ti-V oxide mineralization [1-12].
We have established a geochemical link between the intrusions and flood
basalts. The various intrusions and volcanics were thus considered to
represent a single magmatic event produced by a same mantle plume. The
diversity is explained by variable mantle sources, mantle plume-lithosphere
interaction, crustal contamination, or a combination of these processes. On
the other hand, the voluminous flood basalts of the Siberian Traps are
associated with contemporaneous mafic intrusions hosting the largest sulfide
deposits in the world [13-20]. Widely distributed basalts in the Tarim basin
in NW China were recently discovered by deep-drill-core and are part of the
Permian strata. Because of their poor exposures, little is known about their
significance. It is also known that in NW China and |
