    The boundary between Jurassic and Cretaceous is the most problematical of all Phanerozoic system boundaries, has long been debated and not yet been resolved on a global scale. The marine boundary strata outcrop in southern Tibet, with controversy on the boundary horizon. Moreover, it is an untidy problem that influences the development of an accurate stratigraphic classification for the Mesozoic and, as a consequence, affects regional geological mapping and recovery of plate tectonics. This work studies three sections from Gyangze and Nagarze areas in Tibet.The Linxi Section of Nagarze that contains the uppermost Jurassic to Cretaceous strata is a new section recently measured by the authors. Two other sections of Kadong in Nagarze and Jiabula in Gyangze also provide complete stratigraphic sequences from Upper Jurassic to Cretaceous. At those two sections the uppermost Jurassic to Cretaceous transition beds were re-measured and re-studied as major part of this project.The strata in Gyangze are divided into the Weimei and Jiabula formations. In Nagarze, a large group of sedimentary-volcanic rocks occur between the Weimei and Jiabula formations, which were named as the Sangxiu Formation. The Weimei Formation is dominated by light grey coarse-fine grain quartz sandstone. The Sangxiu Formation is exposed as dark shale in the lower part and volcanic rocks in the upper.The Jiabula Formation consists of a group of black shales with intercalations of sandstone and sandy limestone. A few fossils as Haplophylloceras sp. and Himalayites sp. have been found from the Weimei Formation. Some ammonite species of Spiticeras, Berriasella and Haplophylloceras, and rich bivalve Inoceramus fauna occur in the lower Sangxiu Formation in Nagarze, while the upper volcanic rock was dated as 133 Ma by isotopic data. More ammonites have been found from the lower part of Jiabula Formation in Gyangze, which have been recognized as Spiticeras-Berriasella and Himalayaites-Haplophylloceras assemblages in ascending order. By the correlation with the biostratigraphy in Nyalam of the southernmost Tibet, the age of Weimei Formation is Tithonian of uppermost Jurassic; the Jiabula Formation in Gyangze belongs to Lower Cretaceous The ammonites from the lower shale and isotope age from its upper volcanic rock define the age of Sangxiu Formation from Berriasian to Hauterivian of Lower Cretaceous. The Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary, therefore, is situated between the Weimei and Sangxiu formations in Nagarze and between the Weimei and Jiabula formations in Gyangze. The boundary is marked by the disappearance of Virgatosphinctes, Aulocosphinctes and appearance of Spiticeras. During the Jurassic and Cretaceous boundary time, a large regression happened in the Tibet-Tethys Sea, which is represented by the widespread sandstone sedimentation of uppermost Jurassic.

    Sage diverge of Yaluzangbu suture zone has been verified further in this article through the field investigation of ophiolite and mélange and the analysis of their lithochemistry and geochemistry. The model of evolution of  Yaluzangbu suture zone has been discussed. Yaluzangbu suture zone can be divided into two different epoch zones(the north zone and the south zone).This kind of model originated from the extension function in the course of Indian Plate drifting northward in Late Permian Period.Spread function of the south zone of the Yaluzangbu suture zone aggravated, followed ocean crust splitting and ophiolite emplacing from Late Triassic to Early Jurassic.After subducting and collisioning momentarily in both sides, Zhongba land had been welded. After Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, the north zone of the Yaluzangbu suture zone had been expanding, subducting again, till Late Eocene Epoch the whole Yaluzangbu suture zone had been collisioning and mountain-building and raising, the great Qinghai-Tibet Plateau had been formed.

    The paper mainly discussed the types of normal faults' soft linkage and the  corresponding transfer zones, the kinematic characteristics of the normal faults' soft linkage, the formation of transfer zones and the significance of the normal faults'soft linkage and corresponding transfer zones in petroleum prospecting. From above discussions, it is concluded that:(1)according to  the assembling characteristics of the dip direction of normal faults and their overlap zones, normal faults' soft linkage can be classified into synthetic overlap, convergent conjugate overlap, divergent conjugate overlap, and corresponding transfer zones are relay ramps, oblique anticlines and horsts, respectively; (2) the normal faults of soft linkage usually have different displacements, and thus cause the metamorphose of faulted blocks. The plasmodia of faulted blocks are called transfer zones; (3) accurately cognizing the profile and planar features of normal faults of soft linkage is the base of reliable seismic interpretation models, normal faults of soft linkage and corresponding transfer zones have apparent control over the depositional system and the distribution of petroleum.

    Stylolite, as a common pressure solution structure, develops extensively in carbonate, which is of great significance in stress analysis, finite strain determination and research on oil-gas resources. Based on field observation and indoor analysis about the stylolites in Tieshan, Daye, Hubei Province, this paper raises some fresh understandings about the stylolite as follows: (1) Stylolites are classified into wave-shaped, sawtooth-shaped, city-wall-shaped and thin-column shaped stylolites. (2)Two kinds of composite stylolites are identified in the area and named after parasitic composite stylolites and transitional composite stylolites. (3)Stylolite, in fact, is an irregular pressure solution surface. According to the data collected from field outcrops, we gain the 3D-morphology of a stylolite using computer technology. (4)Stylolite formation process is related to rock composition, stresses, fluid chemicals etc., which provides theoretical basis to practical application. (5) It is considered that the stylolite will be more useful in the assessment of oil-gas resources.

    Ophiolites exposed from Yongzhu to Guomangcuo are mainly composed of metamorphic harzburgites, gabbros and basalts From the analysis of major and trace elements of ophiolites in Yongzhu-Guomangcuo, the characteristics of its metamorphic harzburgites are high Mg content, and lower in Ti and ∑REE,and belong to the depleted oceanic lithosphere mantle. The diabases and basalts are the transitional MORB/IAB-type basalt. According to the trace elements in the ophiolite,  the gabbros and basalts show the same characteristics as the island arc basalt, for the depletion elements of Nb, Ta and its relative enrichment of Rb, Sr and Ba. Meanwhile, according to the REE distribution patterns with no Eu anomaly, the gabbros and basalts are similar to mid-ocean ridge basalt. It is concluded that the geotectonic setting of ophiolite of Yongzhu is formed in back arc basin by the comparison with the ophiolite of typical areas and discrimination diagrams of the tectonic setting.This indicates that ophiolite complex of Yongzhu has a more complex evolution history than hitherto considered.

    Yejili intrusion in Inner Mongolia is situated at the 100 km northeast of Jinchuan Cu-Ni-PGE sulfide deposit. It consists of wehrlite, lhezolite, gabbro and diorite. The REE distribution pattern shows weak LREE richment characteristics, (La/Yb)N=1.866-2.713, which are different from the characteristics of convergent plate marginal basalt. εNd(t)>0 shows that the sources of magma come from depleted mantle. The value of Mg# and Ni content in the intrusion show that it formed through crystal cumulus processes. Yejili intrusion and Jinchuan intrusion all belong to the continental-margin metallogenetic system of North China Craton. They have the same geochemical characteristics in m/f value, rare earth elements and trace elements.The nickel content in the Yejili intrusion is depleted. These characteristics show there is a potential forming of Cu-Ni sulfide deposits in the Yejili intrusion.

    The Jianshan pluton was emplaced in the late Early Cretaceous, which can be divided into three rock units.The analytical results of electron-microprobe show that the alkali feldspars are mainly Na-orthoclase and anorthoclase, with minor orthoclase, the amphiboles of the Jiashan pluton are ferro-edenite with minor ferrohornblende and ferro-actinolite, and the clinopyroxene includes hedenbergite and augite. Geochemically the Jiashan syenite is rich in Si, alkalis, Fe, REE, Th, Ga, Nb, Zr and Hf, poor in Mg, Ba, Sr and Ti, and depleted in transition elements such as Cr, Co, Ni, and V, and is enriched in light REE with a moderate Eu negative anomaly, which show that the Jiashan syenite belong to an A-type granite.The 87Sr/86Sr initial ratios of the rock ranging from 0.701 41 to 0.707 41 and the εNd(t) values of -2.27 to -5.58 indicate that the magma was derived from partial melting of an enriched subcontinental lithospheric mantle. Delamination or lithospheric thinning probably caused the partial melting of the enriched subcontinental lithospheric mantle. Nd depleted mantle model age implys that mantle enrichment beneath Yanshan area may occur in the late Mesoproterozoic.

    The secondary native selenium was discovered in the Yutangba Se deposit, western Hubei Province, China, which is one of rare selenides in the world.The native selenium produced is so large in scale and it varies morphologically. It can be divided into three types such as pillar, tablet and grain based on the crystal forms of the mineral. The forming genesis of native selenium is the result of selenide oxidating from reriching selenium ores in natural factor condition, or selenium evaporizing from burning of “stone-coal” during manufacturing calcareousness.The occurrence of native selenium found in the deposit would be helpful not only to futher study on mineralogy, ore geochemistry and environmental geochemistry of selenium, but also to improve on technology of reclaiming selenium from the black rock series.

    Ordos Basin is one typical of the basins bearing organic and inorganic energy resources in China.The organic resources include oil, gas, coal and coal bed methane inside the Ordos Basin, and the inorganic-resource is mainly uranium deposits distributed at the transitional zone between basin and mountain.The orogeny around the basin controlled its basement deformation, which constrained the tectonic frame evolution of cap-rock and thus determined the process of the generation, transport and accumulation of the organic resources, such as the distribution of the source rock and coal rank etc.. Moreover, the orogenic movement and the basin evolution restricted the formation of sandstone-type uranium deposits together. Under the horizontal extrusion and vertical compaction, oil and natural gas transported from the central part of the basin to the margin and from bottom to top. In contrast, uranium-bearing inorganic epithermal fluids formed in orogens, migrated along the opposite direction under the gravity gradient. Consequently, oil and gas mixed with the uranium-bearing inorganic fluids in the basin-mountain transition zone, which induced the mutation of key physical-chemical parameters of the inorganic-fluids resulting in the precipitation and enrichment of uranium element.The symbiosis of various energy resources in Ordos Basin lays not only in the adequate conditions for the respective organic and inorganic mineralizing process, but in the coupling function of the two events.

    To reveal the formation mechanism of the Carboniferous slender-waist-shaped central paleouplift in Ordos Basin, a series of stress-strain simulations were carried out,in which the basin was simplified into an isopachic, isotropic and elastic shell model and loaded with the NS trending extrusion.The positive strain along Z axis (εz) corresponded to the uplift, and the shape of positive εz isoline represented that of the uplift. Repeated simulations showed that the outline of positive εz isoline always appeared slender-waist shape along the maximum stress axis,which approved that the central uplift resulted from stress transfer in the Ordos Basin under the NS trending extrusion.Moreover, the shape of the positive εz isoline caused by the point force was narrow, while that by the  linear pressure was relatively wide in the simulations.Since the shapes of εz isoline induced by the linear pressure was less analogical to the geological uplift in the Ordos Basin, the linear pressure was less reasonable than the point force, which may represented the point collision between microplates or arc-continent collision during Carboniferous.

    The Early Palaeozoic strata of the upper-Yangtze region are fully developed in Guizhou Province and its adjacent areas.A Cambrian depositional succession from deep-water black shales to shallow-platform carbonate was formed after the obvious drowned events of platforms at the turn from Sinian to Cambrian. The Lower Cambrian can be divided into 5 third-order sequences and still can be grouped into one second-order sequence; the Middle and Upper Cambrian can be divided into 7 third-order sequences that make up one second-order sequence. Several geological events, i.e. the Duyun movement occurred at the end of the Ordovician Aijiashanian epoch, a large-scale sea-level fall occurred at the end of the Ordovician that is the response to glacial stage of the Gondwana and the Guangxi movement occurred at the end of the Silurian, led to the great variance of palaeogeography and the relic of Ordovician to Silurian strata in the study area. On the basis of the detail tracking and correlation, 8 third-order sequences that make up one second-order sequence can be discerned in the Ordovician strata and 7 third-order sequences that constitute one second-order sequence can be divided in the Silurian strata.The sequencestratigraphic framework from the Cambrian to the Silurian in the study area reveals lots of interesting geological phenomena such as the growth pattern of the Cambrian carbonate platform, the developmental feature of black shales marked by “shelf-sea and dead-water” in the transitional period from Ordovician to Silurian, the complex distributional feature of the Silurian strata resulted from the southward transgression and so on.And lots of problems needed to further research are also revealed in the sequence-stratigraphic framework: the complex relation between the rapid transgressive events and the bio-diversity events in the Early Cambrian, the origin of the Guanyinqiao limestones in the top part of Ordovician and the basic depositional model of sponge-reef of the Ordovician Honghuayuan Formation etc..

    Mesozoic continental deposition is developed in Ying'er depression of Jiuquan Basin.Depositional and structural research indicates that Lower Cretaceous has the condition of forming lithological oil-gas reservoirs. At present, the research on lithological oil-gas reservoirs is less and the exploration aiming at lithological oil-gas reservoirs is still not developed. In this paper, by the successful exploration experience in faulted depression basins of the eastern China, we attempt to do research on sequence stratigraphy according to drill and seismic data,Lower Cretaceous is divided into four sequences. From bottom to top, there are sequence Ⅰ(lower segment of Chijinpu Formation), sequence Ⅱ(upper segment of Chijinpu Formation), sequence Ⅲ(lower segment of Xiagou Formation)and sequence Ⅳ(upper segment of Xiagou Formation).We lay special stress on dividing the system tracts of major developed sequence (sequence Ⅱ and sequence Ⅲ). Every sequence and system tracts has different response of lithological electric and seismic reflection characteristics.The sedimentary facies and lithological traps are distinguished by 3D seismic attribute inversion and seismic facies analysis etc. Three lithological traps are discovered by the research. Among them, sandbody No.1 has been chosen as a favorable exploration target.

    The exploration in Erlian Basin in recent years shows that the lithologic reservoir has more predominant conditions in formation and distribution.The predominance in formation includes 4 aspects: ① lithologic traps have more forming periods and times, and it is helpful to entrap oil; ② lithologic reservoirs can be formed with only primary migration and short distance secondary migration; ③ lithologic reservoirs can be charged with oil earlier than structure reservoirs; ④ lithologic reservoirs have more advantaged sealing conditions.Lithologic reservoirs experience little destruction in the later structural activities: uplift and fault activities can destroy lithologic reservoirs little than structure reservoirs. The scope of distribution of lithologic reservoirs is more abroad: ① lithologic reservoirs can distribute not only in steep slope structure belt, but also in gentle slope structure belt and sag belt; ② lithologic reservoirs can enrich not only in low system tracts(LST), but also in high system tracts(HST); ③ lithologic reservoirs can distribute in all types of geopressures. So it is concluded  that the lithologic reservoirs in Erlian Basin have predominant conditions in their formation and distribution.

    Oil reservoir in the Qijiawu area of the Huanghua Depression is dolomitic limestone in the lower Shayi Member of Shahejie Formation of Eogene.The crude oil of the Qijiawu area is characterized by high density, high paraffin, high content of sulfide and high content in asphalt. The crude oil shows distinct geochemical characteristics that are high normal paraffin hydrocarbons with distinct parity preponderance, isoprenoid alkanes with phytane preponderance and gonane components with evident C27ααα sterane preponderance. The mud shale in Shayi Member has developed more gammaceranealkane and undeveloped tricyclic terpane. These characteristics indicate the crude oil of the Qijiawu area belongs to immaturity or lower maturity crude oil. According to the results of crossing the parameters(gammacerane-alkane/C30 hopane and C29 nor-hopane/C30 hopane,gammacerane-alkane/C30 hopane and Pr/Ph)of the crude oil with the parameters of mud shale in lower Shayi Member, we draw a conclusion that the mud shale of lower Shayi Member of Shahejie Formation is the oil source rock in the project area.

    The research on deep-buried volcanic reservoir is an important new field of oil and gas exploration in Songliao Basin. Geochemical and petrological research proves that neutral and acid extrusive volcanic rock is the major type of volcanic rocks in Yingcheng Formation, Xingshan area, compared with that of south part of this basin. In ryolite, the gas pores, dissolved pores caused by efflorescence as well as structural fracture are favorable reservoir spaces. Core analysis shows that relationship between porosity and permeability is different in different areas, so does the heterogeneity. Different volcanic lithologies can be well identified with imaging well logging with conventional logging data, and it's possible to describe and predict porous and fractural reservoir. Lateral resistivity is used to predict the porosity and architecture of fracture, which coincides well with the imaging logging data and core describing. Favorable volcanic facies, efflorescence and structural fracture are three major controlling factors of favorable volcanic reservoir- Under the direction of these major controlling factors, three kinds of volcanic rock body parameters(volcanic thickness, seal thickness and structural curvature)achieved by log restricted seismic inversion, favorable facies, the type of reservoir spaces and physical property of reservoir, volcanic reservoir of Yingcheng Formatioin in the research area can be divided into three types and eight favorable distribution areas of reservoir can be predicted. The results are consistent with drilling and testing data very well, and provide direction for exploration of deep volcanic reservoir.

    Based on the theory of remote sensing on water, we have made a quantitative analysis of the total salinity of Zhabuye salt lake in Tibet, which has a high concentration of salt and complex components, by using method of 3-D salt index, principal components method, correlation analysis, and etc. We have drawn three main conclusions as follows: First, it is discovered that Zhabuye salt lake has many salinity centers . The total salinity in northern part of  the lake is higher than those values in southern part. The water in southern part has an obvious degeneration trend Second, we established the 3D-index of bitter water that has high salinity and complicated composition. The index is NS(TM3/TM7,TM3/TM4,TM3/TM5). Third,based on 3D-index about bitter water , we have found the principal components method is perfect in distincting of salt : PCA(TM(3/7,3/4,3/5)). According to this method , we can get three components of image data, the first component (PC1) has the strongest relation with the salinity.We have built a RS model of highly salty and complicatedly componented bitter water based on our research: Y= aX+b. This research is significant of making a survey of the salt lake in  western China.

    A method of gravity inversion was promoted with IGGM gravitational and aeromagnetic data.A combined gravity-seismic inversion was applied to Yingcheng-Jianli section, Jianghan basin, and the structure frame in the study area was recognized The results are consistent between the calculation and the fact, and 3 new faults are speculated. The conclusion is drawn that two small density strata of J-T2 and S separate big others to form a sandwich phenomenon, and that the velocity data and densities of strata regularly change between bigness and smallness. The indicator of geologic structures is also analyzed from the gravitational and aeromagnetic characteristics. The relationship among the faults, drapes, the force and tectonic movement is also discussed. It is revealed that the Himalayan movement is of great importance to the basin reformation and to the hydrocarbon accumulation.

    The study contrasted and analyzed magnetic susceptibility data obtained by well logging and core measurements from 100 to 2,000 m in the main hole of Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD), the results were coherent. The statistical results of ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks- logging susceptibility indicated that the susceptibility  became low gradually from serpentinite to quartz eclogite, rutile-bearing eclogite, orthogneiss, retrograded eclogite, phengite eclogite, paragneiss, chlorite amphibolite and amphibolite.Magnetic anomaly △BZ、△BH and △BT were computed from the data of tricomponent magnetic survey from 100 to 2,000 m in CCSD main hole. According to  the previous petrologic research, it was shown that  the magnetic anomaly in 530575 m was induced by magnetite, rutile, titano-magnetite, and the magnetic anomalies in 610640 m and 655680 m were induced by serpentinized peridotite, and that magnetic anomalies were dominated mainly by rock's susceptibility, and rocks which had high susceptibility displayed clear anomalies in the borehole.

    Processing the data obtained by statistical method and deducing their intrinsic regulations an important approach for the locaton of concealed ore body.From the point of view of mathematic principle analysis, the authors discussed the mathematic principles and physical meanings of multivariate statistical analysis, geological statistical analysis, fractal and random process, and also illuminated the relation among the different methods. Based on the characteristics of mathematic methods and the attributes of geological data, it was suggested that self-affine fractal and random process analysis would have an expansive foreground in metallogenic prognosis.The joint application of the traditional mathematic methods facilitates the data analysis and the method improvement.For instance, the assembled employment of Weibull model and the fractal succeeded in describing the distribution of the ore-forming elements of the Dayingezhuang ore deposit, Jiaodong Peninsula.

    This paper cites the calculation equation of soil porosity corrected by means of the hydrous states of montmorillonite interlayer water,then the mathematic expression is set up to calculate the amount of secondary land subsidence resulted from montmorillonite interlayer dehydration.The model is applied to Xianlin area which is a new city of Nanjing and belongs to the sedimentary basin with channels and vales. The calculation results show that the amount of secondary land subsidence resulted from part interlayer water release of montmorillonite is 6.85 cm. It is estimated that,34 to 46 cm total amounts of land subsidence would have happened in the area before,It is also indicated that,if the remainder interlayer water in montmorillonite interlayer is wholly released,there would be 96.47 cm of land subsidence in the area, Although it would be impossible to come to pass in the real geological environment,this would give us a caution to the prevention of land subsidence hazard. The research on montmorillonite dehydration and its effect on land subsidence would also show us a revelation to the prediction of land subsidence trend.

    In order to have a grasp of the pollution situation of PM2.5 and PM10  from combustion in Beijing, the distribution regularities and influence factors of PM2.5 and PM10  were analyzed after sampling PM2.5 and PM10  at three sites representing combustion sources, i.e. the top of testing building at China University of Geosciences in Beijing (CUGB), the Shougang Coking Plant and the east gate of Shougang, from March 13 through March 25, 2005 A series of results are concluded as follows. Being controlled by pollution sources and weather conditions, the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10  vary hourly, and two peaks present at different time in a day; they vary with temperature as well, the maximum concentration has relationship with the low temperature, while the minimum can be detected at the high temperature. The concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10  from combustion vary with the content of moisture as well, the maximum value is related to the high humidity and the minimum value can be detected in the low moisture.Comparing the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10  from combustion in Beijing with those in other 8 cities of China, it is found that the pollution level in Beijing is very serious and the concentrations all exceed the pollution standards of China for PM10 and U.S. EPA for PM2.5. It is found that the concentration of PM10 is still above the pollution level of China. New measures about combustion emission and environmental protection should be established as soon as possible to improve the air quality in Beijing city.

    The biodegradability of TCE and phenol was studied by the microorganisms acclimated with phenol, and was expressed by oxygen consumption of microorganisms measured with Warburg respirometer.The study also examined the feasibility of TCE degradation using phenol as cometabolic substrate. The results showed that TCE couldn′t be degraded in unacclimated activated sludge. It was also demonstrated that TCE could be efficiently degraded by phenol-acclimated activated sludge at TCE concentration of 50 μg/L and the bio-oxidation ratio was 33.69%, whereas the efficiency was low at 100 μg/L with the ratio of 3.2% only.In presence of phenol and TCE, phenol enhanced TCE transformation rate. When the initial concentrations of phenol and TCE were up to 40 mg/L and 50 μg/L respectively, the maximum cometabolic degradation efficiency of TCE was obtained, up to 79.11% in the study.
