This extension resulted in widespread re-melting of the Dabie basement, intense volcanic activities in North Huaiyang and the formation of fault-controlled depressions in the Hefei basin. This thermal doming extension can be further divided into two consecutive evolving stages, i.e. the intensifying stage (140-105 Ma) and the declining stage (105-85 Ma). In the first stage (140-105 Ma), the thermal doming mainly was concentrated in the Dabie block, and to a less degree, in the Hongan block. The thermal doming structure of the Dabie block is configured with Macheng-Yuexi thermal axis, Yuexi/Luotian thermal cores and their downslide flanks. The orientation of thermal axis is dominantly parallel to the strike of orogen, and UHP/HP units together with metamorphic rocks of North Huaiyang constitute the downslide flanks. The Yuexi core differs from the Luotian core in both the intensity and the shaping time. To some extent, the Hongan block can be regarded as part of downslide systems of the Dabie doming structure. The doming process is characterized by thermal-center's migration along the Macheng-Yuexi thermal axis; consequently, it is speculated to be attributed to the convective removal of thickened orogenic root, which is a process characterized by intermittance, migration, large-scale and differentiation. During the declining stage (105-85 Ma), the dome- shaped figure still structurally existed in the Dabie orogen, but orogenic units cooled remarkably slow and magmatic activities stagnated gradually. Study on the thermal doming of Dabieshan Mountains can thus provide detailed constraints on the major tectonic problems such as the UHP/HP exhumation model, the boundary between North Dabie and South Dabie, and the orogenesis mechanism.展开更多

Within it, the foliation defines an E-W elliptical shape and bears S-N stretching lineations. The axial part is located in Hongjiang-Wanlongshan area and occupied by oriented granites with coaxial symmetric shear fabrics. The southem and northern flanks, including rocks in the Anfu Basin to the south and the Pingxiang Basin to the north, display top-to-south and top-to-north motions, respectively. The ductile and brittle structures indicate a geometric and kinematic consistency. The extensional tectonics is developed on a Caledonian metamorphic basement and is unconformably covered by Late Cretaceous red beds. Isotopic ages on muscovite, biotite and whole rock by40Ar-39Ar, K-Ar and Rb-Sr suggest that the Wugongshan extensional doming began from the Triassic and ended in the Late Cretaceous. A geodynamic model is discussed.展开更多

文摘Regional architecture of geochronology and differential cooling pattern show that the Dabie orogen underwent a thermal doming extension during 140-85 Ma. This extension resulted in widespread re-melting of the Dabie basement, intense volcanic activities in North Huaiyang and the formation of fault-controlled depressions in the Hefei basin. This thermal doming extension can be further divided into two consecutive evolving stages, i.e. the intensifying stage (140-105 Ma) and the declining stage (105-85 Ma). In the first stage (140-105 Ma), the thermal doming mainly was concentrated in the Dabie block, and to a less degree, in the Hongan block. The thermal doming structure of the Dabie block is configured with Macheng-Yuexi thermal axis, Yuexi/Luotian thermal cores and their downslide flanks. The orientation of thermal axis is dominantly parallel to the strike of orogen, and UHP/HP units together with metamorphic rocks of North Huaiyang constitute the downslide flanks. The Yuexi core differs from the Luotian core in both the intensity and the shaping time. To some extent, the Hongan block can be regarded as part of downslide systems of the Dabie doming structure. The doming process is characterized by thermal-center's migration along the Macheng-Yuexi thermal axis; consequently, it is speculated to be attributed to the convective removal of thickened orogenic root, which is a process characterized by intermittance, migration, large-scale and differentiation. During the declining stage (105-85 Ma), the dome- shaped figure still structurally existed in the Dabie orogen, but orogenic units cooled remarkably slow and magmatic activities stagnated gradually. Study on the thermal doming of Dabieshan Mountains can thus provide detailed constraints on the major tectonic problems such as the UHP/HP exhumation model, the boundary between North Dabie and South Dabie, and the orogenesis mechanism.

文摘Geological storage in salt caverns plays a critical role in managing energy resources,yet regional assessments often fall short in accounting for specific salt dome morphological variations that can significantly influence cavern engineering and storage capacity.To address this gap,we developed a refined approach to modeling salt domes,incorporating primary axis tilt,ellipticity,and conic taper.These geometric modifications are applied to a cylindrical baseline salt dome model to assess the effects on total salt volume,workable salt volume,and cavern storage potential.Case studies of four salt domes from the East Texas Salt Basin—Mount Sylvan,Boggy Creek,Steen,and Hainesville—validate the observed trends from the models.Our findings reveal that positive cone taper and primary axis tilt configurations enhance storage potential,leading to significant increases in potential cavern volume,while ellipticity and negative cone taper result in reduced storage capacities.The study underscores the importance of refining volumetric assessments by accounting for detailed morphologic variations,providing a more accurate framework for site-specific geological storage evaluations.Additionally,we discuss challenges related to intra-salt heterogeneities,including intra-salt deformation and mineralogical impurities,highlighting the need for improved site characterization to optimize the safety and efficiency of subsurface storage systems.This work contributes to the development of scalable and reliable geological storage infrastructure,essential for meeting future energy demands.

文摘The Song Chay Dome in southeastern Yunnan Province,China,is intruded by the Late Cretaceous Laojunshan granites.New apatite and zircon fission-track data for the Laojunshan granites allow us to reconstruct the exhumation history of the Song Chay Dome.The fission-track dating indicates that the Laojunshan granites experienced four main stages of rapid cooling and exhumation at 75–63,53–43,31–20,and 12–4 Ma.The first stage was related to the thermal equilibration with surrounding rocks after magma emplacement.The rapid cooling and exhumation at 53–43 Ma were caused by normal faulting in the Late Mesozoic–Early Cenozoic extensional setting of southwestern South China,which resulted in the Laojunshan granites and Song Chay Dome being exhumed in the footwall of faults.The third stage(31–20 Ma) was the result of southeastward extrusion of the Tibetan Plateau and sinistral strike-slip movement on the NW-SE-trending Nanwenhe and Maguan-Dulong faults.The 31 Ma representing the beginning of the interaction between the Tethyan Himalayan tectonic domain and the South China Block.The final stage was mainly due to activity on the Nanwenhe Fault to the north of the Laojunshan granites,caused by lateral extrusion of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau since ca.15 Ma.These cooling and exhumation events since the Late Cretaceous indicate that the Song Chay Dome and southwestern South China Block have been affected by the Himalayan Orogeny since the Oligocene.

文摘As a highly coupled aggregate of tectonism,magmatism,and metamorphism,a gneiss dome is usually taken as a vital window for understanding the crustal internal structure and the exchange of material and energy during orogenic exhumation.The Qinghe gneiss dome located in the eastern Chinese Altai orogen,lies in Qinghe County,Xinjiang,records important information of late accretionary orogeny associated with continental uplift and crustal growth.According to the field investigation,the dome shows core-mantle-margin domains,in which the core is composed of migmatized granite and gneiss,the mantle consists of banded gneiss,schist,and leptynite,and the margin has rock assemblages of phyllite,schist,and meta-sandstone.From the margin to the core,the dome can be divided into chlorite-sericite,andalusite-staurolite,sillimanite-biotite,and sillimanite-garnet metamorphic zones,recording progressive metamorphism.Detailed structural analyses in the Qinghe gneiss dome indicate progressive deformation from the margin to the core.Internal and external detachment faults are clarified,with the former characterized by inflow and outward migration of crustal material and the latter marked by brittle-ductile deformation with a lineation indicating lateral slip of the upper wall when the dome uplifted.Based on these faults,upper,middle,lower structural layers are observed from the outer to inner domains of the dome.Considering the general geological background and new data,the Qinghe gneiss dome probably predominantly underwent early ductile shear deformation and late heat-flow diapirism in the early Permian,closely related to upwelling of asthenosphere mantle that resulted from slab break-off in the extensional tectonic setting.

文摘With excellent seeing conditions,ultra-low infrared background noise,high frequency of space debris transits,and continuous polar night coverage,Dome A in Antarctica has become an ideal platform for ground-based astronomy and space situational monitoring.As a crucial observatory site for international deep space,deep Earth,deep sea,and polar exploration,it is very important to evaluate the suitability of Dome A as an observatory site.However,owing to extreme environmental constraints,the evaluation of site conditions is mainly based on single-point measurements,making it challenging to comprehensively evaluate the effective site range and uniformity.This study integrated satellite remote sensing data to develop a cross-comparison framework for diverse indicators across Dome A,to evaluate its spatial uniformity.We find that the area surrounding the Dome A site,defined within a roughly 1°×1°latitude and longitude range,possesses excellent astronomical observation conditions.

文摘The Jianglang Dome has integral tectonostratigraphic units and contains a suite of high-grade stratiform Cu deposits.However,the formation mechanism of this dome and genetic model of Cu mineralization remain a matter of debate.The resolution of these problems hinges on the presence of magmatic intrusions in the core.Here,we report bulk geochemical and zircon U-Pb data of a newly discovered syenite intrusion as well as chalcopyrite Re-Os dating results.We aim to explore genesis of the Jianglang Dome,genetic model of the stratiform Cu deposits,and rare metal mineralization potential of the syenite intrusion.The dated syenite sample yields an emplacement age of 207.1±2.0 Ma,which matches post-collisional extension in the Songpan-Ganze Orogen.The syenite rocks have average high(Zr+Nb+Ce+Y)concentrations of 512 ppm,10000.Ga/Al ratios of 3.97,and crystallization temperatures of 827°C,together with low Mg#values of 1.73;they fi t the A-type granitoid defi nition and a crustal origin.Chalcopyrite separates yield a Re-Os isochron age of 207.1±5.3 Ma,which markedly postdates the formation age of their orehosting rocks(the Liwu Group,ca.553 Ma).Our new age determination,together with previous chalcopyrite Re–Os isochron age of ca.151.1 Ma and sulfi de sulfur isotope(δ^(34)S_(V-CDT)=8.7‰–5.6‰)and tourmaline boron isotope(δ^(11)B=−15.47‰to−5.91‰)data,confi rms multistage epigenetic Cu mineralization related to magmatic-hydrothermal fl uids.Compared with regional ca.209–207 Ma fertile granitoids,the studied syenite intrusion shows unevolved and barren affi nities and negligible rare metal mineralization potential.Combined with residual gravity low anomalies in the core of the Jianglang Dome,which suggest a large deepseated granitic batholith,we prefer thermal doming resulting from magma-induced uplift for the nature of this dome.

文摘Thermal metamaterial represents a groundbreaking approach to control heat conduction,and,as a crucial component,thermal invisibility is of utmost importance for heat management.Despite the flourishing development of thermal invisibility schemes,they still face two limitations in practical applications.First,objects are typically completely enclosed in traditional cloaks,making them difficult to use and unsuitable for objects with heat sources.Second,although some theoretical proposals have been put forth to change the thermal conductivity of materials to achieve dynamic invisibility,their designs are complex and rigid,making them unsuitable for large-scale use in real threedimensional(3D)spaces.Here,we propose a concept of a thermal dome to achieve 3D invisibility.Our scheme includes an open functional area,greatly enhancing its usability and applicability.It features a reconfigurable structure,constructed with simple isotropic natural materials,making it suitable for dynamic requirements.The performance of our reconfigurable thermal dome has been confirmed through simulations and experiments,consistent with the theory.The introduction of this concept can greatly advance the development of thermal invisibility technology from theory to engineering and provide inspiration for other physical domains,such as direct current electric fields and magnetic fields.
文摘The present paper investigates the methods for estimating the maximum(positive)and the minimum(negative)peak wind force coefficients on domed free roofs based on the quasi-steady theory and the peak factor method,in which the experimental results obtained from our previous studies(2019,2025)are used.Focus is on the distributions of the peak wind force coefficients along the centerline parallel to the wind direction considering that domed free roof is an axisymmetric body.Empirical formulas are provided to the distributions of mean wind force coefficient,RMS(root mean square)fluctuating wind force coefficient and peak factors as a function of the rise/span ratio of the roof and the turbulence intensity of the approach flow in the along-wind direction at the mean roof height.The proposed methods are validated by the experimental results for the peak wind force coefficients.The methods would provide useful information to structural engineers when estimating the design wind loads on cladding/components of domed free roofs.
