The Sedimentary Geochemical Characteristics and Geological Significance of the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation Accumulation of Organic Matter Black Shale on the Southeastern Sichuan Basi... by Bin Wu

“…The identification of the geochemical behavior characteristics of major and trace elements shows that enrichment of the organic matter black shale section in the Changning-Qianjiang-Xiushan areas is mainly formation in the anoxic-moderate water mass restriction environment with high primary productivity and less terrigenous detritus input under the low hydrodynamic conditions. However, the correlations of terrigenous detrital proxies Ti/Al, redox proxies V/Cr, Ni/Co, and paleoproductivity proxies Babio with the TOC contents show that the Changning area is a favorable area for the formation of organic-rich black shale and the Qianjiang area is affected by the Wuling underwater uplift; the thickness of the black shale deposits becomes thinner; the Xiushan area is adjacent to the Xuefeng uplift, and the deposition conditions of the accumulation of organic matter black shale deteriorate, which is unfavorable for shale gas exploration.…”

Ecological Water Level Determination and Safeguard Measures for Rivers in Northern Jiangsu Plain by WANG Zhenqi, FANG Hongyuan, XU Guangdong, ZHU Ye, WANG Chengjie

“…Effective methods of calculating the threshold of river ecological flow (water level) need to be employed to obtain measures of controlling the ecological state of rivers in a plain river network and to build a robust long-term mechanism of ecological flow control.The Zongliutang River in the river network area of Northern Jiangsu Plain is divided into upper,middle,and lower reaches according to its objective environment and its actual operation and management situation.Then,the controlling condition of the ecological water level of each reach is analyzed respectively.Considering the hydrological characteristics,hydrodynamic characteristics,and observed hydrological data conditions of rivers in this river network area,several methods are utilized to calculate the ecological water level threshold of the middle reach of the river respectively.Those methods include the annual minimum water level method with a 90% guarantee rate,the wetted perimeter method,the minimum monthly average water level method,and the lowest survival water depth method.Through the comparative analysis of actual river operation and management schemes,the ecological water level targets of the upper,middle,and lower reaches of the river are comprehensively determined as 17.40 m,8.96 m,and 7.50 m respectively.After the control value of the ecological water level of the river is obtained by comprehensive analysis,the actual operation and management situation of the river is taken into account to propose specific safeguard measures for maintaining the ecological water level (flow) target of the river from multiple perspectives.Some of the measures are constructing a robust and feasible ecological flow control system,accelerating the construction of an information monitoring system of ecological flow and water intake and an early warning system safeguarding the ecological water level target,and strengthening the supervision and assessment of the implementation of river and lake ecological flows (water levels).…”
