本文利用美国国家环境预测中心和国家大气研究中心(NCEP/NCAR—National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research)的位势高度、气温、风速等大气资料、欧洲中期天气预报中心 (ECMWF—European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts—ERA-40)的雪深资料、美国国家海洋大气管理局(NOAA—National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)的海表温度(SST)资料、美国Scripps海洋研究所的上层海洋热含量资料等,采取相关分析、合成分析、经验正交函数分析、小波分析和小波交叉谱分析等统计分析方法,系统深入地讨论了西太平洋—印度洋—青藏高原气候系统在南海夏季风爆发过程中的作用。得到的主要结论如下: 1. 西太平洋和印度洋在南海夏季风爆发过程中起着关键作用 利用1951-1998年多种大气海洋资料,分析研究结果表明,西太平洋(暖池热含量)、印度洋(纬向风)在南海夏季风爆发中起关键的调控作用:以1970年为界,1970年之前,印度洋起主要作用,1970年之后西太平洋起主要作用,这主要是1970前后北极涛动有明显跃变的原因,这种跃变决定了印度洋在南海夏季风爆发中是否起决定作用(西风异常或东风异常),进而,决定了有利于或不利于南海夏季风的爆发。 1970年之前,北极涛动指数为负值,海陆温差(海上气温减大陆气温)是负值,大陆气温偏高,印度洋气温相对偏低,印度洋出现西风异常,有利于南海夏季风早爆发。在此期间,与印度洋SST密切相关的南印度洋偶极子的变化也与南海夏季风的爆发紧密相联。当南印度洋为正偶极子(西南印度洋SST为正异常,印度洋其他区域的SST为负异常)时,北印度洋为西风异常,南海夏季风爆发偏早;南印度洋为负偶极子(西南印度洋SST为负异常,印度洋其他地区的SST为正异常)时,北印度洋为东风异常,南海夏季风爆发偏晚。 1970年之后,北极涛动指数为正值,海陆气温差为正值,印度洋的状态不利于南海季风爆发;在这种情况下,西太平洋暖池的热含量则成为控制南海夏季风爆发的主要原因:暖池变暖的年份,即 La Niña 年,南海夏季风爆发早(强),反之,当暖池变冷的年份,即El Niño年,南海季风爆发晚(弱),即,南海夏季风爆发的早(强)晚(弱)与ENSO事件密切相关。 2.青藏高原春季积雪对南海夏季风爆发有重要的影响 1958-2003年青藏高原3月积雪厚度与南海夏季风爆发时间存在着很好的正相关。青藏高原3月积雪厚度偏厚时,其500毫巴以上的气温偏低,上层海陆之间的气温差是正值,南亚高压向西北方向的移动速度变慢,上层东风偏弱,西太平洋地区的上层辐散和下层辐合变弱,西太平洋暖池热含量偏少,南海夏季风爆发偏晚(弱)。同时,下层850毫巴东印度洋异常大气是东风和跨赤道反气旋对,南海被东风异常所控制,这种大气环流形势不利于南海夏季风的爆发;青藏高原3月积雪厚度偏薄时,其500毫巴以上的气温偏高,上层海陆之间的气温差是负值,上层南亚高压在南亚地区建立较早,上层东风偏强,西太平洋地区的上层辐散和下层辐合偏强,西太平洋暖池热含量偏多,南海夏季风爆发偏早(强)。同时,下层850毫巴东印度洋低层大气是西风异常和跨赤道气旋对,南海被西南风异常所控制,有利于南海夏季风的爆发。 研究结果还表明,青藏高原春季的积雪与厄尔尼诺事件存在着密切的关系。在厄尔尼诺鼎盛期的冬季,各种条件都有利于青藏高原的降雪,从而,来年春天的积雪则变厚,不利于南海季风的爆发。 3. 南海夏季风爆发的预测 1970年之后,西太平洋暖池的热含量与南海夏季风的爆发早晚有非常好的负相关。据此,我们可以通过西太平洋暖池热含量的变化来预测南海夏季风的爆发。通过暖池区海洋上层400米热含量的分析研究,我们找到了西太平洋暖池热含量变化的代表站点(以3N,138E为中心的1°×1°范围),其热含量变化能很好代表整个西太平洋暖池热含量的变化(相关系数大于0.85)。在此基础上,文章用1993-2007年热带大气海洋浮标列阵(TAO-Tropical Atmosphere Ocean-array)中最靠近该站点的浮标(2N, 137E)资料验证了上述选择站点的代表性和相应的预测能力。1993-2004年TAO浮标(2N, 137E)3月上层400米和500米海洋热含量与南海夏季风爆发时间的相关系数分别是-0.75,-0.73,置信度均超过99%;用1993-2007年4月份TAO浮标(2N, 137E)上层400米和500米海洋热含量与南海夏季风爆发时间作相关则相关系数均为-0.83,置信度超过99%。因此,我们可以通过3月或者4月份该TAO浮标(2N, 137E)的热含量来预测当年南海夏季风爆发的早(强)晚(弱)。 总之,南海夏季风爆发以1970年为界存在明显的年代际变化,1970年之前,主要受印度洋控制,1970年之后,南海夏季风爆发主要受控于太平洋(西太平洋暖池),这种变化是由北极涛动年代际变化引起的,。青藏高原春季积雪也对南海夏季风有重要影响,但主要受ENSO控制。因此,我们认为西太平洋—印度洋—青藏高原气候系统在南海夏季风爆发中起着重要的调控作用:西太平洋的作用当属第一位,印度洋的作用居第二,青藏高原的作用最弱。

被动陆缘陆坡深水区因蕴藏大量的油气及天然气水合物资源而受到石油行业的关注。峡谷水道作为重力流沉积物从陆缘向陆坡盆区搬运的主要通道,是现今海洋科学研究的热点,是“由源到汇”研究的重要内容。峡谷水道可以作为粗粒沉积物的最终沉积场所,已被钻探证实可作为良好的油气储集体。本文选择陆坡水道为研究目标具有科学和实际意义。 本文借助1979年至2007年采集的2D(部分)、3D地震数据,参考部分钻井资料,以层序地层分析为基础,以多种地球物理属性为手段,以南海北部深水陆坡区为研究区,进行层序地层分析,并对陆坡水道的发育进行研究。层序特征分析发现琼东南南部陆坡具有不同于北部陆坡的物源供给模式,断陷期以北部华南地块和西南方向中南半岛为主要物源,也有部分来自西沙隆起的物源;拗陷期西南方向的中南半岛为主要物源区。 通过大量2D地震资料研究,本文首次系统地研究了发育在南海北部陆坡的大型水道,该水道起源于莺歌海盆地东部、横跨琼东南盆地、西沙海槽,终结于南海西北次海盆西部,我们把该水道命名为“琼东南中央水道”。琼东南中央水道长约570km,宽4-8km不等,发育在上新统地层中,该水道的产生与中新世以来红河对莺歌海盆地充足的物源供给,中新世末的海平面下降以及5Ma左右红河断裂带的反转诱发的滑塌有关。 基于新采集的3D地震资料和地球物理技术,本文首次在琼东南盆地南部陆坡深水区识别出深水水道,该期水道发育在更新统地层中,形态各异,有类似曲流河的曲流水道,也有典型的低弯曲侧向迁移水道。振幅特征显示该期水道主要以弱振幅细粒泥质充填为主,部分位置有强振充填反射,可能为粗粒充填。根据地震剖面和相干时间切片时空分析,认为该水道主要有3期侵蚀和3期充填过程。从展布特征来看,该期水道的形成与更新世(中)末次盛冰期海平面的下降,地震诱发中南半岛中部小型山脉河流的复苏对南海西部的供给有关。

特提斯构造域是除冈瓦纳构造域、欧亚大陆构造域、太平洋构造域之外的又一全球范围的大构造域。其形成是特提斯洋在赤道附近的低纬度分分合合造就的,特提斯洋这个独特的、呈喇叭状向东张开的低纬度多岛洋对全球地质构造演化历史产生了非常巨大的影响。在冈瓦纳大陆与北方欧亚大陆相分离的时候,产生一系列的小洋盆,新的小洋盆的产生伴随着之前小洋盆的消亡,如此循环,就在赤道低纬度地区产生了一个大的构造带。这条大的构造带—特提斯构造域地跨欧、亚、非、南美和北美五大洲,对研究全球地质演化历史有着非常大的作用;而其丰富的油气资源也吸引着石油地质学家和油气实业家的极大关注。在特提斯构造域中,有多个大型油气田,随着特提斯构造域在全球的分布,这些大型油气田也随之在全球低纬度区域展布。其中最著名的含油气盆地应当是西亚阿拉伯地区的波斯湾盆地。可以这样说,在特提斯构造域中发现的油气田基本上都是储量丰富的大型油气田。在这些油气田中,标志性的含油气地层是赤道封闭型浅海相碳酸盐岩礁为主夹少量页岩的沉积主体,有机质类型为Ⅰ、Ⅱ型,盖层为蒸发岩,这种沉积特征有着丰富的油气资源前景。 我国的特提斯研究也进行了多年,但是南海区域的特提斯研究也随着研究者对其的研究争论了多年,争论的核心问题是南海区域有或是没有特提斯构造域。在随着我国特提斯域陆地上的部分被研究得比较细致后,通过地球物理方法的发展,对南海及其邻区的特提斯构造域有了进一步的了解。南海邻区的红河断裂带在构造属性上属于特提斯构造域,是特提斯洋残留的缝合带,这条红河断裂带北起青藏高原,穿越云南及越南北部,向东南延伸进入南海,全长近1 000km。通过追索这条红河断裂带在南海的延伸情况,研究者们作了大量的工作,在资料日趋丰富之后,现在研究者们对南海特提斯构造域争论的焦点便成了红河断裂带进入南海后,是沿着越东断裂向南延伸还是经过海南岛南部与西沙海槽相连向东延伸。本人希望选取一个特提斯构造域中的缝合带的模型,分析特提斯缝合带的构造特征和地球物理表现,然后通过结合南海北部陆坡的一些OBS及深反射地震数据,来得到整体的南海北部陆坡的地层及构造结构,通过建立重力模型来反演南海北部陆坡的地层结构,在宏观上了解南海北部陆坡可能存在的特提斯构造域,进而计算剖面热流值,进一步探讨南海北部陆坡的特提斯构造痕迹,即红河断裂带进入南海后向东延伸段。

本文以东菲律宾海沉积物表层新型深水铁锰结壳、铁锰结核及结壳下伏沉积物为研究对象,通过对其显微结构构造、矿物组成、元素组分的分析、元素赋存状态的系统研究、铀系和10Be同位素年代学测试,结合结壳(核)成矿背景和控矿要素分析,研究和恢复了研究区深水铁锰结壳(核)的成因与古海洋环境响应。这一结果填补了深海沉积物表层新型深水铁锰结壳系统研究的空白,深化了对铁锰结壳(核)分布规律、成因和形成过程及其古海洋环境记录作用的认识,充实了海底金属成矿理论,为铁锰结壳(核)的勘探与开采提供了理论基础和支持,同时也为研究区晚中新世以来一直不甚明了的构造演化提供了新的研究载体和资料。 通过研究,得出如下结论:(1)研究区铁锰结壳(核)的成矿背景主要受控于南极底流强弱及物源供给的变化;(2)证实铁锰结壳(核)主要为水成成因,同时其物质组成也受一定程度的火山和陆源物质的影响;结壳(核)自形成以来没有遭受到明显的磷酸盐化等成岩后期改造和元素再迁移,具有重要的古海洋学意义;(3)通过新型铁锰结壳及下伏沉积物元素赋存状态的研究,认为生物作用对研究区结壳的形成并没有很大的直接影响,其物质成分主要来自于结壳中铁锰氧化物(氢氧化物)的吸附作用;(4)在控矿要素的研究中,归纳出了地质与海洋两大类结壳(核)控矿要素;(5)根据结壳成分长周期变化趋势,结合铀系和10Be测年结果,将研究区结壳的形成过程划分为三个主要阶段(5.6~2.8 Ma,2.8~2.7 Ma和2.7 Ma以来),并确定了晚中新世以来研究区南极底流的活动情况、火山和大陆来源(风尘)物质输入量的变化。

关于南海北部内孤立波的研究,现在是一个国际性研究热点,以往对南海北部海域的内孤立波的研究大都集中于南海东北部,即东沙-吕宋海峡海域。对于南海西北部文昌海域的内波现场调查研究几乎是空白。2005年4-10月中科院海洋所对南海西北部陆架海域进行了现场内波观测,获得了到目前为止国内连续观测时间最长、高分辨率、高质量的温度及流场数据。本文使用此次观测所获得的海流和温度资料,主要针对观测海域内孤立波特征及机理进行分析研究,取得了若干有重要科学意义的成果,主要为: 该海域是内孤立波多发地区,其中从2005年4月中旬到6月孤立波频繁出现且振幅较大,而6月中旬到9月中旬,内孤立波的发生频率明显下降,振幅也相对较小; 内孤立波的极性也表现出明显的季节性变化特征。研究发现内孤立波的季节性变化特征是与跃层的深浅和强弱密切相关的。 在2005年9月期间观测到了一系列的大振幅内孤立波,其中在同一测站的不同天内分别发现上凸型和下凹型内孤立波。研究表明这些内孤立波极有可能是由陆架坡折处的内潮因非线性和频散效应而局地产生的。这是首次通过现场观测确认南海西北部存在上凸型并且其为局地生成的内孤立波。 进一步分析发现在2005年8月21-23日,观测到了第二模态的内孤立波,这些内孤立波是与第二模态的内潮同步发生的,在连续两天内几乎相同的时刻分别观测到第二模态的内孤立波说明这些孤立波是潮致的。 在2005年4月22-28日发现长时间的强海流现象,强海流现象发生在当地的天文潮小潮期间,沿岸方向的流速明显大于垂直于岸方向的流速,通过分析表明强海流是由当地的内潮流引起的。 根据观测的温、流数据分析了内波场对台风的响应过程及内波谱特征,发现台风对观测站位的温度场和流场结构均有显著的影响。 这些在南海西北部的新发现和新认识对推动内孤立波的产生机制和应用技术的研究具有重要的学术价值。

To investigate the effects of enhanced nutrient loading in estuarine waters on phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing, we conducted monthly dilution experiments at 2 stations in Hong Kong coastal waters with contrasting trophic conditions. The western estuarine station (WE) near the Pearl River estuary is strongly influenced by freshwater discharge, while the eastern oceanic station (EO) is mostly affected by the South China Sea. Growth rates of phytoplankton were often limited by nutrients at EO, while nutrient limitation of phytoplankton growth seldom Occurred at WE due to the high level of nutrients delivered by the Pearl River, especially in the summer rainy season. Higher chlorophyll a, microzooplankton biomass, phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing rates were found at WE than at EO. However, the increase in chlorophyll greatly exceeded the increase in phytoplankton growth rate, reflecting different response relationships to nutrient availability. Strong seasonality was observed at both stations, with temperature being an important factor affecting both phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing rates. Picophytoplankton, especially Synechococcus, also exhibited great seasonality at EO, with summer abundances being 2 or 3 orders of magnitude higher than those during winter, Our results confirm that in eutrophic coastal environments, microzooplankton grazing is a dominant loss pathway for phytoplankton, accounting for the utilization of >50%, of primary production on average.

In order to explore marine microorganisms with medical potential, marine bacteria were isolated from seawater, sediment, marine invertebrates and seaweeds collected from different coastal areas of the China Sea. The antimicrobial activities of these bacteria were investigated. Ethyl acetate extracts of marine bacterial fermentation were screened for antimicrobial activities using the method of agar diffusion. The results showed that 42 strains of the isolates have antimicrobial activity. The proportion of active bacteria associated with marine invertebrates (20%) and seaweeds (11%) is higher than that isolated from seawater (7%) and sediment (5%). The active marine bacteria were assigned to the genera Alteromonas, Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Flavobacterium. The TLC autobiographic overlay assay implied that the antimicrobial metabolites produced by four strains with wide antimicrobial spectrum were different. Due to a competitive role for space and nutrient, the marine bacteria associated with marine macroorganisms (invertebrates and seaweeds) could produce more antibiotic substances. These marine bacteria were expected to be potential resources of natural antibiotic products.

Offshore seismic exploration is full of high investment and risk. And there are many problems, such as multiple. The technology of high resolution and high S/N ratio on marine seismic data processing is becoming an important project. In this paper, the technology of multi-scale decomposition on both prestack and poststack seismic data based on wavelet and Hilbert-Huang transform and the theory of phase deconvolution is proposed by analysis of marine seismic exploration, investigation and study of literatures, and integration of current mainstream and emerging technology. Related algorithms are studied. The Pyramid algorithm of decomposition and reconstruction had been given by the Mallat algorithm of discrete wavelet transform In this paper, it is introduced into seismic data processing, the validity is shown by test with field data. The main idea of Hilbert-Huang transform is the empirical mode decomposition with which any complicated data set can be decomposed into a finite and often small number of intrinsic mode functions that admit well-behaved Hilbert transform. After the decomposition, a analytical signal is constructed by Hilbert transform, from which the instantaneous frequency and amplitude can be obtained. And then, Hilbert spectrum. This decomposition method is adaptive and highly efficient. Since the decomposition is based on the local characteristics of the time scale of data, it is applicable to nonlinear and non-stationary processes. The phenomenons of fitting overshoot and undershoot and end swings are analyzed in Hilbert-Huang transform. And these phenomenons are eliminated by effective method which is studied in the paper. The technology of multi-scale decomposition on both prestack and poststack seismic data can realize the amplitude preserved processing, enhance the seismic data resolution greatly, and overcome the problem that different frequency components can not restore amplitude properly uniformly in the conventional method. The method of phase deconvolution, which has overcome the minimum phase limitation in traditional deconvolution, approached the base fact well that the seismic wavelet is phase mixed in practical application. And a more reliable result will be given by this method. In the applied research, the high resolution relative amplitude preserved processing result has been obtained by careful analysis and research with the application of the methods mentioned above in seismic data processing in four different target areas of China Sea. Finally, a set of processing flow and method system was formed in the paper, which has been carried on in the application in the actual production process and has made the good progress and the huge economic benefit.

Glaciers in west China are the sources of the major great rivers in Asia, and the solid water resources are crucial to China and South Asia. Black carbon (BC) results in very complex climate effects not only in the atmosphere, but accelerates the melting after its deposit on the surface of snow/ice. As the main distributed area of glaciers in China, the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and Xinjiang region are abutted by South Asia, Central Asia, and Russia, and east China, and the atmospheric environment would be influenced by the BC emitted from these regions. Whereas, the BC’s temporal and spatial distributions for concentration in the mid and top troposphere in west China, its transport, and its radiative forcing after deposited on the snow/ice surface are not well understood at the present. In the field, we collected samples from surface snow, snow pits, ice core, and aerosol in the glaciers, analyzed BC content mainly by the thermo-oxidized method in the laboratory, and discussed temporal and spatial distributions for BC concentrations in glaciers, the transport, and its impacts on the environment. Several conclusions were derived as follows: 1_Spatial distribution and the impact on albedos for BC concentrations in snow/ice: the BC concentrations in the surface snow for the investigated glaciers could be placed in areas, the Tianshan Mountains > the central TP > the Pamirs > the Qilian Mountians > the Himalayas. This distribution could be attributed to the elevation of the glaciers, the topography of the TP, and more regional emissions. Probably significant impacts on the albedos of the glacier surface could be caused by BC deposits, and the estimated reduced albedos on the glaciers are 9.8% (the Zhadang glacier), 8.7% (the Miao’ergou Riverhead No.3 glacier), and 6.8% (the Kuitun River Haxilegen No.48 glacier), and 6.2% (the Dongkemadi glacier), and 5.3% (the La’nong glacier), and 4.2% (the Muztagata glacier), etc. 2_The temporal variance of BC concentrations in ice of the East Rongbuk Glacier (ERG) and its climatic implications: major cations and anions (e.g., SO42- and Ca2+) concentrations in aerosols during summer monsoon seasons showed their close relationships with the sources of air masses, in which the variance of SO42- concentrations suggested the atmospheric environment over the ERG was significantly influenced by the aerosols from South Asia. BC record based on an ice core suggested its deposit was dominantly transported by monsoons in summers and by westerlies in other seasons, and the BC from South Asia in summers dominated the varying trend of its concentrations in the ice core and caused higher concentrations in summers than those in other seasons. In the past 50 yrs, BC concentrations showed fluctuations, whereas showed an increasing tread in the most recent decade, and exceeded 50 μg kg-1 in the summer of 2001; correspondingly, the radiative forcing caused by BC showed an increasing trend since 1990s, and exceeded 4.5 W m-2 in the summer of 2001. 3_Cabonaceous aerosols in the Nam Co region: organic carbon (OC) concentration accounted for ~95% and BC for ~5% in the total carbonaceous aerosol concentration, which was significantly influenced by summer precipitations. OC was dominantly derived from fossil fuel burning and BC from both fossil fuel and biomass burning. Trajectory analysis and aerosol optical depth suggested the atmospheric environment in the Nam Co region was most probably influenced by the emissions from South Asia. The potential source regions of air pollutants in the Nam Co regions in summers might be Bangladesh and east India, and in winters might be the Indo-gangetic basin. The scavenging ratio of atmospheric BC by rainfalls was less than those at other sites. West China is a less-developed region for industry, where BC concentrations in the atmosphere and snow/ice could be significantly influenced by the emissions from the abutted regions with rising industries (South Asia, Central Asia, and Russia). For example, snow/ice BC concentrations in the glaciers of the Parmirs, the Tianshan Mountains, and the Qilian Mountains in the northeast margin of the TP might be more influenced by the emissions from Centrial Asia (transported by the westerlies), those in the glaciers of the Himalayas might be more influenced by the emissions from South Asia (transported by the monsoons and the westerlies), and atmospheric carbonaceous aerosols might also be more influenced by the emissions from South Asia (transported by the monsoons and the westerlies). The BC concentrations in some glaciers might cause significant impacts on the albedos for the glaciers, and therefore enhanced the radiative forcings, for example, the ERG. The research on the relationships among atmospheric and snow/ice BC and its radiative forcing, variance of snow cover, mass balance of glaciers, and climate forcing would be needed in future.

Abstract In order to provide basic data for evaluation of the petroleum potential in the deep water area of the northern margin of the South China Sea (SCS), present-day thermal regime and basin tectonothermal evolution are reconstructed and the maturation history of the Cenozoic major source rocks in the study area is derived. The present-day geothermal regime in the deep water area of the northern margin of SCS is defined according to the geothermal gradient, thermal properties and heat flow data. Tectonic subsidence history is reconstructed based on borehole and seismic data, and accordingly the stretching episodes are determined from the subsidence pattern. Heat flow history in the deep water area of the northern margin of SCS is estimated on a finite time, laterally non-uniform and multi-episode stretching model. Maturation history of the main source rocks in the study area is estimated through EASYRo% kinetic model and thermal history, and the potential of petroleum in the deep water area of the northern margin of SCS is evaluated based on the data above. The results show that the present-day geothermal regime in the deep water area of the northern margin of SCS is characterized by “hot basin” with high geothermal gradient (39.1±7.4℃/km) and high heat flow (77.5±14.8 mW/m2), and that the Qiongdongnan Basin (QDNB) underwent three stretching episodes and consequently suffered three heating episodes (Eocene, Oligocene and Pliocene time) with highest paleo-heat flow of 65~90 mW/m2 at the end of the Pliocene, that the Pearl River Mouth Basin (PRMB) two stretching and two heating episodes (Eocene, Oligocene time) with highest paleo-heat flow of 60~70 mW/m2 at the end of the Oligocene, and that the source rocks matured drastically responding to the heating episodes. There are four hydrocarbon generation kitchens in the deep water area of the northern margin of SCS which are favor of its bright petroleum perspective. Tectonothermal analysis indicates that the present-day geothermal regime which is characterized with “hot basin” in the deep water area of the PRMB resulted mainly from the Cenozoic stretching as well as faulting and magmatic activities during the Neotectonic period, and that the Pliocene heating episode of the QDNB is coupled with the transition from sinistral to dextral gliding of the Red Rive fault, and that the deep water basins in the northern margin of SCS are typical of multiple rifting which caused multi-episode heating process.

Movements of separation and convergence between the continental plates, as well as the interaction beween the lithosphere and asthenosphere is the dominant factor in plate evolution. Moreover, those phenomena, the formation, enrichment and storage of energy and mineral strorage, as well as intraplate earthquakes are all relate to plate movement and evolution. Therefore, the study of continental lithosphere, is not only helpful to analysing the dynamic model between lithosphere and asthenoshere as well as different plates, but also important to the nation's economy and the people's livelihood. And the lithospheric thickness or Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB) is one of the most important parameters in study of continental lithospheric formation and evolution. Chinese continent composed by many small plates, possesses diverse type of lithospheric structure. But our knowledge ahout Chinese continental lithosphere, especially the regional research, is almost based on the low-resolution results of surface wave dispersion analysis and seismic wave tomography. Howere, recently a technique employing S-to-P converted body waves (the S receiver function technique) has been developed that can be used to identify the LAB with a higher resolution. This thesis has collected waveform data of 232 broadband seismic stations that are located in China and neighboring regions. Using teleseismic S-wave and P-wave receiver functions have studied the Chinese continental lithospheric structure. The results of this study indicate that, the thickness of Chinese continental lithosphere become thinner from west to east, and obvious difference exists between different blocks. Four types of lithosphere have been detected: (1) Convergence thicking lithosphere in Tibetan Plateau; (2) Stable lithosphere in Tarim basin and upper Yangtze craton; (4) Active lithosphere in Orogenic belts; (4) Break-up thinning lithosphere in east China craton

The South China Sea (SCS) is one of the largest marginal seas in the western Pacific, which is located at the junction of Eurasian plate, Pacific plate and Indian-Australian plate. It was formed by continent breakup and sea-floor spreading in Cenozoic. The complicated interaction among the three major plates made tectonic movement complex and geological phenomena very rich in this area. The SCS is an ideal place to study the formation and evolution of rifted continental margin and sea-floor spreading since it is old enough to have experienced the major stages of the basin evolution but still young enough to have preserved its original nature. As the demand for energy grows day by day in our country, the deep water region of the northern continental margin in the SCS has become a focus of oil and gas exploration because of its huge hydrocarbon potential. Therefore, to study the rifted continental margin of the SCS not only can improve our understanding of the formation and evolution processes of rifted continental margin, but also can provide theoretical support for hydrocarbon exploration in rifted continental margin. This dissertation mainly includes five topics as follows: (1) Various classic lithosphere stretching models are reviewed, and the continuous non-uniform stretching model is modified to make it suitable for the case where the extension of lithopheric mantle exceeds that of the crust. Then simple/pure shear flexural cantilever model is applied to model the basement geometries of SO49-18 profile in the northern continental margin of the SCS. By fitting the basements obtained by using 2DMove software with modeling results, it is found that the reasonable effective elastic thickness is less than 5km in this region. According to this result, it is assumed that there is weak lower crust in the northern continental margin in the SCS. (2) We research on the methods for stretching factor estimation based on various lithosphere stretching models, and apply the method based on multiple finite rifting model to estimate the stretching factors of several wells and profiles in the northern continental margin of the SCS. (3) We improve one-dimension strain rate inversion method with conjugate gradient method, and apply it to invert the strain rate of several wells in the northern continental margin of the SCS. Two-dimension strain rate forward modeling is carried out, and the modeling results show that effective elastic thickness is a key parameter to control basin’s geometry. (4) We simulate divergent upwelling mantle flow model using finite difference method, and apply this newly developed model to examine the formation mechanism of the northwest and central sub-basin in the SCS. (5) We inverse plate thickness and basal temperature of oceanic lithosphere using sea-floor ages and bathymetries of the North Pacific and the North Atlantic based on varied-parameters plate model, in which the heat conductivity, heat capacity and coefficient of thermal expansion depend on temperature or depth. A new empirical formula is put forward based the inversed parameters, which depicts the relation among sea-floor age, bathymetry and heat flow. Then various similar empirical formulae, including the newly developed one, are applied to examine the sea-floor spread issue in the SCS based on the heat flow and bathymetry data of the abyssal sub-basin.
