Results indicate that the palaeogeothermal gradient between the late-Paleozoic era and the medium-Mesozoic era is relatively low and the palaeogeothermal gradient in the late-Mesozoic is up to 5.56癈/100 m in the middle, and the values are relatively higher in the north and south margins of the basin, reaching over 8.00℃/100 m, which indicates that there was an anomalous tectonic thermal event in the thermal history of Qinshui Basin. This event happened in 110-140 Ma, and the main peak value was between 120 and 140 Ma. This anomalous tectonic thermal event is controlled by the strengthening thermal mobility of the lithosphere and magmatic intrusion. The maturity of the Permo-Carboniferous coal series mainly was controlled by this anomalous thermal field. The apatite fission track date of samples across the basin shows that a rapid tectonic uplifting with cooling existed 26.2-11.5 Ma ago and the upliftings in the north and south of the basin happened earlier than that in the middle. The Permo-Carboniferous strata had been completely annealed in the early 50 Ma, palaeotemperature over 125℃. Since then, especially from Oligocene-Miocene epoch, the strata which experienced large-scale tectonic upliftings with rapid cooling have been kept out of the annealing belt (70-125℃) in a relative low temperature environment. The late Mesozoic tectonic thermal event control hydrocarbon production peak (late Jurassic to early Cretaceous period) of Permo-Carboniferous strata in Qinshui Basin. When the strata experienced upliftings with rapid cooling since Oligocene-Miocene epoch, the hydrocarbon generation of coal series had stopped.展开更多

The dropping range of the winter SST may come to 7.5°C corresponding to 1.2‰ of the δ18O value of sea surface water. This event is comparable with those discovered in the west Europe and the northern Atlantic Ocean, but expressed in a more intensive way. It is inferred that this event may have been induced by middle- to low-latitude processes rather than by polar ice sheet change. Since the Kuroshio-index speciesPulleniatina obliquiloculata displayed the most distinct change at the event, it may also be related to the paleoceanographic change of the low-latitude area in the western Pacific Ocean. This event can be considered as one of “Younger Dryas-style coolings” and is indicative of climate variability of the last interglacial stage.展开更多

By use of unsaturated index U37^k of long-chain alkenone, δ^13C of POC and of planktonic foraminifera (G sacculifer), the evolutions of sea surface temperature and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during the Holocene were reconstructed in the Okinawa Trough. And in combination of δ^18O of planktonic foraminifera, the relative difference of sea surface salinity during the Holocene was also reconstructed.Consequently, three cooling events (E1-E3) were identified,each of which occurred at 1.7-1.6, 5.1-4.8 and 8.1-7.4kaBP (cal), respectively. Of the three events, E2 and E3 are globally comparable, their occurrence mechanism would be that the main stream of the Kuroshio Current shifted eastward due to the enhanced circulation of the northeastern Pacific Ocean, which was driven in turn by amplified intensity of sunshine and subsequent enhancement of subtropical high pressure; E1 corresponds to the Small Ice-Age Event occurring between 1550 and 1850AD in China. In the Okinawa Trough, E1 might be also related to the eastward shift of main stream of the Kuroshio current driven by powerful Asia winter monsoon.展开更多
