     The Wutaishan--Hengshan Archean greenstone belt type gold deposit in Shanxi Province is one of the largest and very typical gold deposits in the greenstone belts of the North China plate. It mainly occurs in the cherty iron-formation of Baizhiyan and Jingangku formations and in the mica-quartz schist of Hongmenyan Formation of Wutai Group. Typical gold deposits include Dongyaozhuang gold deposit in Wutaishan and Xiaobanyu gold deposit in Daixian. The gold orebodies are mainly stratified and lenticular,and the deposits are closely related to the cherty iron-formation in the Archaean greenstone belt and brittle-ductile shear zone. The ore rock type is characterized by pyritic sericite-albite schist,and gold mainly occurs in pyrite. Wall-rock alterations such as silicification and pyritization are closely related to gold mineralization. The gold deposit is a metamorphic hydrothermal type, which is closely related to the cherty iron-formation in the Archaean greenstone belt and the brittle-ductile shear zone.

     Field investigation,petrology,zircon U--Pb dating and geochemical analyses have been conducted for the quartzdiorite from the Aligya Forest Farm in the northern Xing'an block,in order to discuss its formation age,petrogenesis and tectonic environment. LA--ICP--MS zircon U--Pb dating reveals that the Aligya quartzdiorite was formed in the Early Permian ( 295 ± 6) Ma. The Aligya quartzdiorites amples have w ( SiO2 ) of 61. 99% ~ 63. 65% ,and display relatively high w ( Al2O3 ) ( 15. 87% ~ 16. 21% ) ,w ( MgO) ( 1. 62% ~ 2. 24% ) and w ( FeOT ) ( 6. 83% ~ 9. 10% ) . They are enriched in Na ( K2O/ Na2O = 0. 45 ~ 0. 99) ,and are classified as the high --K calc-alkaline,and metaluminous to peraluminous rocks. In addition,the Aligya quartzdiorite shows negative Eu anomalies ( δEu = 0. 70 ~ 0. 95) ,with enrichments in large ionic lithophilic elements ( e. g.,Rb,Ba,U) , depletions in high field strong elements ( e. g.,Nb,Ta,Ti) . The above geochemical characteristics suggest that the parental magma of the quartzdiorite could be generated from partial melting of the middle-lower basaltic crust,which then experienced crustal contamination during subsequent ascending. Together with the findings of coeval Atype granites and bimodal igneous assemblages,it is proposed that the Aligya quartzdiorite was emplaced under an extensional environment after the collision between the Xing'an and Songnen blocks.

    In order to ascertain the petrogenesis,geotectonic setting and genetic connection with Late Triassic granites of the Early Jurassic granodiorites in Yeniugou area of Golmud City,the authors systematically conducted whole-rock geochemical,zircon U-Pb dating and Lu-Hf isotopic studies on the above issues. The results show that the zircons of Yeniugou granodiorites exhibit typical magmatic zircon oscillatory zoning and Th/U values (0.25-1.28,>0.10),with weighted average age and εHf(t) value of (198.4±1.6) Ma and 4.99-7.50,respectively. In geochemistry,the Yeniugou granodiorites show the geochemical properties of C-type adakitic rock,including high Sr [(400×10-6)-(420×10-6)] but low Mg [w(MgO)=0.95%-1.19%],Y [(6.93×10-6)-(7.87×10-6)] and Yb [(0.65×10-6)-(0.77×10-6)] contents,with typical low Na2O/K2O ratios (1.12-1.34,<2),relative depletion of heavy rare earth elements and high field strength elements. Based on the geotectonic evolution,it can be inferred that the primary magma of Yeniugou granodiorites originated from the partial melting of Neopro-terozoic lower crustal amphibolite (TDM2=919-759 Ma). It is a continual magmatism of the Late Indosinian,and emplaced within the same geodynamic setting as the Late Triassic granitoids in a strong extensional background that was caused by the lower crustal delamination after the closure of Paleo-Tethys Ocean and orogeny.

    Aiming to 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP)pollution in aqueous environment,the authors prepared nitrogen-sulfur co-doped biochar (NSBC)with high-efficiency adsorption and catalytic performance by high temperature pyrolysis process using rice straw as biochar precursor and thiourea as diatomic dopant for activating peroxynitrite (PMS)degradation of 2,4-DCP,and characterizing them. The results showed that the diatomic doping significantly increased the specific surface area,redox activity and active sites of the biochar materials,such as oxygen-containing functional groups and nitrogen and sulfur functional groups. Under optimal conditions,NSBC had an efficient catalytic capacity with 95.30% degradation of 2,4-DCP within 5 minutes. The degradation rate constant of NSBC/PMS system (0.542 min-1)was 2.7 times higher than that of BC/PMS system (0.197 min-1). In addition,NSBC still had good catalytic performance over a wide pH range. Analysis of electron spin resonance and quenching experiments showed that 1O2 and width=26,height=14,dpi=110 generated by activated PMS acted as the main reactive oxygen species (ROS)for the degradation process of 2,4-DCP.

    As an important unconventional oil and gas reservoir unit,the formation and distribution of diabase are often controlled by their tectonic settings. Using petrology,geochemistry,and Sr--Nd isotopes geochemistry,the authors discuss the geochemical characteristics and geodynamic background of diabase of Es3 Member in Linnan Subsag,Bohai Bay Basin. The results show that the diabase belongs to the series of alkaline basalts with high Al,low Ti and enriched Na. The large ion lithophile elements (Rb,Ba,Pb,Sr) and light rare earth elements are relatively enriched,while the high field strength elements (Th,U) are relatively depleted,exhibiting a positive Eu anomaly. The diabase in the study area originates from the asthenosphere mantle,which is the result of mixing between different crust-mantle boundary zones. The formation of diabase is associated with intraplate magmatic activities,which suffered contamination by crustal materials during magma emplacement,occurring under a continental extensional tectonic setting. The Cenozoic extension in the Bohai Bay Basin occurred under an active rift environment,where the upwelling of the asthenosphere mantle was closely associated with the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate and the development of an intraplate mantle plume.

    To explore the geodynamic mechanisms of the large-scale magmatic activity during Early Cretaceous in Da Hinggan Ling (Mts.), the authors focused on diabase in Huoluotai area in northern segment of Erguna Block,Da Hinggan Ling (Mts.), through the study of petrogeochemical characteristics and zircon U-Pb dating of diabase in Huoluotai area, aimed to determine its formation age, petrogenesis, and tectonic setting.Zircon LA -ICP -MS U –Pb dating results show that the weighted average age of diabase in Huoluotai area is (135.1 ±3.6) Ma, indicating that the crystallization age of diabase is Early Cretaceous.Whole rock geochemical data reveal that diabase in Huoluotai area is characterized by low w (SiO2) (48.84%-52.11%), high w (MgO) (5.13%-6.85%) and w (Fe2O3) (7.45%-8.60%).The Eu anomaly of diabase is insignificant or exhibits a weak negative anomaly (δEu =0.83-1.06).The diabase is enriched in large ion lithophile elements (such as Ba, Sr, and K), and depleted in high field strength elements (such as Zr, Ta, Nb, and Th).Diabase in Huoluotai area is only minimally influenced by fractional crystallization, crustal contamination, and accumulation processes.The Nb/ Yb -Th/ Yb diagram shows that diabase in Huoluotai area falls within the area of primitive mafic melts derived from subduction-modified lithospheric mantle.The Th/ Nb-Ba/ Th and Th/ Yb-Ba/ La diagrams indicate that the magma source of diabase in Huoluotai area was modified by fluids derived from subducted slabs.The La/ Nb-La/ Ba diagram reveals that the magma source of diabase in Huoluotai area is from the lithospheric mantle.The above geochemical characteristics indicate that diabase in Huoluotai area originated from a lithospheric mantle source metasomatized by fluids derived from subducted slabs.Combined with previous research, it is concluded that the formation of diabase in Huoluotai area in northern segment of Erguna Block, Da Hinggan Ling (Mts.) is closely related to the rollback process of the Paleo-Pacific Plate.

    Comprehensive research involving quantitative restoration of paleo-geotherm,paleo-geomorphology,sedimentary environment,and geological events were conducted to study the formation environment and genesis of hydrocarbon-rich shales in the Qingshankou Formation of northern Songliao Basin. The results show that the Ro of the hydrocarbon-rich shales in the Qingshankou Formation of Songliao Basin mainly ranges from 0.75% to 1.60%,with a high content of free hydrocarbons,mainly from 4 to 12 mg/g,formed under a high-temperature thermal basin background with a paleo-geothermal gradient of 50 to 70 ℃/km. Under the background of extensional geodynamics and thermal subsidence,shale layers controlled by densely fractured normal fault zones were formed. The paleo-geomorphology,characterized by two depressions and a protrusion,provided a conducive environment for the formation and evolution of these shales. The warm and humid climate of the lacustrine environment,along with magmatic hydrothermal fluids,laid the material foundation for the proliferation of algae,which was crucial for the development of thick layers of hydrocarbon-rich shales. The semi-deep lacustrine with oxygen deficiency,deep lake reduction,and strong reduction environment were conducive to the burial of organic matter. Comprehensive analysis indicates that the coupling effects of tectonics,lacustrine sedimentation,and paleo-geothermal conditions provided the tectonic background and thermodynamic conditions of hydrocarbon-rich shales. The warm and humid climate,anoxic environment,and nutrients brought by volcanic hydrothermal fluids are important reasons for the formation of hydrocarbon-rich shales.

    Traditional Kalman filter is usually difficult for adaptive changes in the complex navigation environment of integrated GNSS/INS,which leads to the accuracy decreasing of parameter estimation or even the filter divergence. In this paper,Sage-Husa adaptive filter and robust filter based on innovation vector are introduced to process navigation data with forward and backward fusion. The comparison with traditional Kalman filter indicate that the estimation accuracy of horizontal attitude,heading angle,three-dimensional velocity and position is improved by 37.38%,64.23%,23.51%,29.06% on average,and the optimal improvement is 58.77%,95.17%,36.61%,49.20%,respectively.The adaptive,robust and forward and backward Kalman filters improve the accuracy and stability of parameter estimation,and can be used for post-processing of integrated navigation data in complex urban navigation environment.

    It has always been an indispensable research in reservoir research to determine the boundaries of key physical properties between conventional and tight,tight and ineffective reservoirs and establish the criteria of grouping evaluation,at home and abroad. Taking sandstone reservoirs of Nantun Formation in Wuerxun-Beier sag of Hailar Basin as an example,the key physical property boundaries of the sandstone reservoirs of Nantun Formation are determined by comprehensive application of mechanical balance,oil-bearing occurrence,minimum flow pore throat radius and other methods. It has been recognized that the porosity of 12% and permeability of 1 mD constitute the boundary between conventional and tight reservoirs,with 4% porosity and 0.03 mD permeability being that between tight and ineffective reservoirs. Based on the study above,the criteria of reservoir grouping evaluation were established by the internal structure characterization parameters of the reservoir obtained by high pressure Hg injection,NMR and other experimental analysis. The sandstone reservoirs of the Nantun Formation are divided into five categories:conventional type Ⅰ(RQI≥1),conventional type Ⅱ(0.33≤RQI<1),tight type Ⅰ,(0.13≤RQI<0.33)tight type Ⅱ(0.07≤RQI<0.13),and ineffective type(RQI<0.07),which reveal the macroscopic physical properties and microscopic pore structure characteristics of different reservoir types. The oil test and production data confirm that the reservoir grouping scheme has a good correlation with production in oil test. Furthermore,it is clarified the adaptation testing technology of different types of reservoirs as follows. For conventional reservoir type I,industrial oil flow can be obtained by vertical wells routine testing. For conventional reservoir type Ⅱ,industrial oil flow requires a certain scale of fracturing. For tight reservoir type Ⅰ,industrial oil flow generally requires vertical well with large-scale fracturing. For tight reservoir type Ⅱ,industrial oil flow can be achieved by horizontal well with volume fracturing.

    Volcanic eruptions are often triggered by magmatic activities within the Earth’s crust. Monitoring the surface deformation in volcanic regions can effectively infer the state of underlying magma. To monitor the surface deformation of the volcanic areas,Sakurajima Volcano in Japan was selected for a detailed study. We applied the SBAS-InSAR technique to process 75 Sentinel-1A images from 2019 to 2021. The results show that Sakurajima Volcano is in a relatively active phase,predominantly characterized by subsidence during the monitoring period,with an average deformation rate of -10.05 mm/a. The most significant subsidence was observed at the central zone of the volcano,amounting to a cumulative deformation of -62.72 mm. This area also exhibited pronounced seasonal variations. The uplift occurred mainly in the peripheral area of the volcano,with the maximum uplift occurring on the southeast side of Sakurajima,with a cumulative uplift of 108.71 mm during the monitoring period.

     In order to explore the differences in land use between the black soil areas in Northeast China and the Mississippi River basin in the United States,the authors compared the land use structure and landscape pattern of the two areas based on the land use data obtained by Google Earth Engine in 2017. The natural factors affecting land use structure were also analyzed by geographic detector. The results show that: the land use structure of Chinese black soil area is similar to that of the United States,and the land use structural index of the two areas were - 11. 30 and - 56. 11,which showed the land use pattern of Chinese black soil land is relatively better. It was found that climate had a greater influence ( 99. 90% ) ,followed by geological conditions ( 93. 00% ) ,and the comprehensive influence of natural factors had a greater effect. The black soil areas in China should learn the methods from the United States conservation tillage to improve the land use potential and stabilize the ecological function while improving the grain production capacity.

    To analyze the petrological characteristics, grain size distribution characteristics, sedimentary facies types and spatial distribution regularity of the Lower Karamay Formation in Block Si 1, Karamay Oilfield, Well D16 is selected as the standard well in the study area, and its drilling cores are used as the main data source for observation and experiments. Core observation, rock mineral thin section identification and sieve analysis are used to obtain petrological data such as colors, lithologies, sedimentary structure and texture, rock mineral composition and contents, and grain size distribution statistics of the Lower Karamay Formation reservoir in Block Si 1. The sedimentary facies types of the Lower Karamay Formation in Block Si 1 are identified based on sedimentary facies markers such as core colors, lithologic assemblages, structure and texture, grain size probability accumulation curves, C-M diagram, and structural parameter scatter plots. At the same time, combined with the geophysical data of more than 100 wells in the study area, the method of well logging is used to radiate the sedimentary facies model of the D16 standard well to other wells in the study area. By pulling the well-connected profile, the distribution regularity of sedimentary microfacies and sand bodies on the profile are analyzed. According to the thickness contour map of sandstone, the distribution regularities of sedimentary microfacies and sand bodies on the plane are analyzed. The results show that the core colors of Well D16 are brown, light brown, light gray and gray-green, and the lithologies are divided into unequal-grained sandstone, medium-fine sandstone, argillaceous siltstone, silty mudstone and mudstone according to the grain size, and the sandstone is divided into lithic sandstone, feldspathic lithic sandstone and lithic feldspathic sandstone according to the rock mineral types. The roundness is sub-angular to sub-rounded, the sorting is medium to poor. Massive bedding and tabular cross-bedding are developed, the contact relationships of particles are mainly point-line contact, and the pores are mainly residual intergranular pores. The probability accumulation curves of grain size are two-stage or four-stage types, the C-M diagram has the characteristics of traction flow, and the points of the structural parameter scatter plots are concentrated in the delta plain and front interval. The sedimentary environment of the Lower Karamay Formation reservoir in Block Si 1 is shallow,weakly oxidized to weakly reduced. Two sedimentary subfacies, the braided river delta front and the shallow lake,and four sedimentary microfacies, including the subaqueous distributary channel, the subaqueous interdistributary,the estuarine dam and the coastal shallow lake mud, are identified. The main reservoir sand bodies of the Lower Karamay Formation are subaqueous distributary channel sand bodies, which are distributed in lens-shaped and layered forms on the cross section and in strip-shaped and sheet-shaped forms on the plane.

     Aiming at the problem of urban building area change detection,an improved U--Net method is proposed to detect high-resolution remote sensing building area change. According to the characteristics of buildings in high-resolution remote sensing images,and the original U--Net network,atrous convolution and space pyramid pool structures are introduced,which expands the receptive field of the model to detect changes in the building area. In comparison to the change vector analysis ( CVA) ,principal component analysis ( PCA) and U--Net series models, the proposed method achieves the highest accuracy. Compared with the original model,the F1 score increased by 10. 98% ,IoU score increased by 13. 50% ,and the change detection effect significantly improved. The research shows that the improved U--Net outperforms the conventional method in dealing with the problem of building area change detection.

     The exploration geochemical method is one of the most effective methods to quickly delineate
     regional prospective areas. Although this method can quickly delineate geochemical prospective areas, it often
     ignores the spatial variability of geochemical backgrounds, potentially missing weak geochemical anomaly. In order
     to identify multivariate geochemical anomaly in complex geological environments, the authors select a one-class
     support vector machine (OCSVM) model for this study. The model allows for high-dimensional anomaly detection
     without making any assumptions about data distribution. Taking the Amuhuiyilete region as an example, based on
     the 1 ∶ 50 000 regional geological survey results, the data of 11 geochemical elements from stream sediments in the
     study area were gridded using Surfer software. The gridded “true” data were generated based on the spatial loca
    tions of known mining points in the study area. The spatial correlation between each geochemical element and the
     known mining points was statistically analyzed, and elements with significant correlation to the known mining points
     and concentrated elemental distribution were identified as prospecting indicator elements. In the study area, three
     indicator elements were selected. The gridded data of these three indicator elements were used as input data for
     OCSVM to conduct multivariate geochemical anomaly identification research. The models were optimized using both
     the trial-and-test method and the artificial bee colony (ABC) optimization algorithm. The output results of both
     models were obtained and combined with the “true” data, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were
     then plotted for the models optimized by the trial-and-test method and the ABC optimization algorithm, and corre
    sponding area under the curve (AUC) values were calculated. The results show that the AUC value of the model
     optimized by the trial-and-test method is 0. 879 6, while the AUC value of the model optimized by the ABC algo
    rithm is 0. 897 8. At the same time, the proportion of anomalous grids identified by the two models is 27. 14% and
     23. 65%, respectively. This indicates that, in the anomaly detection task, the model optimized by the ABC
     algorithm performs slightly better than the model optimized by the trial-and-test method. The OCSVM optimized by
     the ABC algorithm is more effective in identifying anomalous data points, and improving the overall model accuracy.

     Full waveform inversion ( FWI) retrieves subsurface velocity parameters using waveform information such as travel-time,amplitude and phase of prestack seismic data. However,due to the absence of low-frequency components of seismic signals and the inaccuracy of initial model,the inversion often falls into local extreme values due to periodic jump phenomenon. Meanwhile,the accuracy of seismic wavelet and amplitude information also seriously affects the quality of inversion. A new full waveform inversion method of source-independent normalized global energy cross-correlation is proposed,which can effectively combine the characteristics of convolution wave field,normalized wave field and energy wave field to improve the stability and applicability of full waveform inversion. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method can alleviate the influence of amplitude distortion on inversion and construct an accurate large-scale velocity structure under the condition of inaccurate wavelet and absence of low-frequency of the source. Combined with the full waveform inversion method independent of the  source cross-correlation,an accurate underground velocity model can be constructed,and the proposed method has good anti-noise performance.

    The timing of the final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean is one of the controversial issues in the field of geoscience.The central Jilin Province, which was controlled by the evolution of the Paleo-Asian tectonic regime during the Paleozoic, is an ideal place to resolve the above issue.The authors conducted systematic zircon U-Pb geochronological and geochemical studies on lithic sandstones and silty slates from Yangjiagou Formation in the Dakouqin area, central Jilin Province, and determined the deposition time and provenance characteristics of Yangjiagou Formation.The maximum depositional age of the formation can be constrained by the youngest weighted average age of detrital zircons, and therefore the lower depositional ages of the two lithic sandstones samples (PM001-38-TW1 and PM001-135-TW1) from Yangjiagou Formation were determined to be (255 ± 5) Ma and (251 ±2) Ma, which are consistent to the Permian and Triassic boundary (251.902 ±0.024) Ma.Combined with the ages of zircons that captured from the surrounding Late Triassic monzogranite dated (235-227) Ma, and the timing of the monzogranite aged (232 ±2) Ma which intruded in, the Yangjiagou Formation in the study area would deposit during the Late Permian.Whole rock major and trace element geochemical data of the lithic sandstones and silty slates from Yangjiagou Formation indicate that w (SiO2) ranges from 65.13% to 70.73%, w (Al2O3) form 14.75% to 17.29%, w (K2O) form 2.43% to 3.87%, w (Na2O) form 1.59% to 3.26%, and the ratio of K2O/ Na2O is from 0.75 to 2.34.The light rare earth elements are relatively enriched, while the heavy rare earth elements are depleted, with LREE/ HREE and Eu/ Eu∗ ratios of 6.98-9.09 and 0.56-0.70, respectively.Based on the CIA-ICV diagram, the source composition discrimination diagram and the tectonic setting discrimination diagram, the sedimentary provenance of Yangjiagou Formation has experienced a relatively moderate weathering with a high maturity.The Yangjiagou Formation whose source rocks are mainly felsic, were deposited in active continental margin or continental island arc.Detrital zircon age distributions of Yangjiagou Formation can be divided into five groups: Paleoproterozoic (1 819- 1 785 Ma), Meso-Neoproterozoic (1 491-561 Ma), Cambrian-Carboniferous (522-301 Ma), Early and Middle Permian (295-259 Ma), and Late Permian to Middle Triassic (258-238 Ma).Based on previous studies of regional magmatism, Yangjiagou Formation has bidirectional provenance characteristics (North China Plate and Xing􀆳an-Mongolian Orogenic Belt).The provenance attribute and paleontological evidence of Yangjiagou Formation show a tectonic transition from collisional orogeny to a stable tectonic environment.Combined with the characteristics of magmatism in the study area, the final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean in central Jilin Province is considered to happen in the Late Permian-Middle Triassic.

    To address the safety hazards associated with hidden goafs in mines,the authors utilize an array of detection techniques,including geological radar,high-density resistivity,transient electromagnetism,seismic methods,controllable source audio magnetotellurics,and audio magnetotellurics. Focusing on the Bayan Aobao area in the Sunite Right Banner of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,this research specifically targets the optimization of goaf detection methods for fluorite deposits. By integrating the geological and physical characteristics of the deposit with the results of geophysical exploration,it was determined that a combined approach of geological radar and high-density resistivity methods is highly effective in detecting the distribution of hidden goafs. This combination successfully identified the spatial distribution of hidden goafs up to a depth of 90 m in the study area. The accuracy and feasibility of this detection methodology were further corroborated by drilling verification and 3D laser scanning.

     Enping 13--14 sub sag is the easternmost small sub sag in the Zhu Ⅲ depression,which is close to the Yangjiang --Yitong strike-slip fault. The tectonic transformation in the Wenchang period has an obvious controlling effect on sedimentary filling. Based on the analysis of drilling and seismic data,it is considered that fan delta, braided river delta,shallow lake,and semi-deep lake-deep lake subfacies are developed in the Wenchang Formation. The sedimentary process is dominated by axial provenance. The rotation of the extension direction of the region and the activity of the Yangjiang--Yitong strike-slip fault zone led to the migration of the fault system and the subsidence center in the Enping 13--14 sub sag along the strike of the basin-controlling fault to the northeast from the early Wenchang to late Wenchang sedimentary period. Overall,the migration was from Enping 13 sub sag to Enping 14 sub sag,and the sedimentary system changed from the east to the west. There may be magmatic activities during the Enping period in the central part of the two sub sags. It is found that the influence range of magmatic activities is small,which only affects the identification of seismic facies near the well.

    Based on the core and thin section data,combined with the seismic and physical properties tests,the characteristics and development regularity of the volcanic rock reservoirs in the Huoshiling Formation of Chaganhua subsag,Changling fault depression have been studied. The results show that the volcanic rocks were erupted at three stages with four types of lithology. Stage 1 is a subaerial eruption,mainly dominated by effusive facies and explosive facies. Stage 2 is developed in a transitional eruption environment with a large number of volcanic-sedimentary facies. Stage 3 is a subaqueous environment eruption,which is dominated by subaqueous explosive facies. Volcanic rock reservoirs are mainly developed in tuffaceous sandstones of the volcanic sedimentary facies (stage 2)and medium-coarse grained tuffs of the subaqueous explosive facies (stage 3).The reservoir space of middle-coarse grained tuff reservoir is dominated by a large number of devitrified pores,while the reservoir space of tuffaceous sandstone reservoir is dominated by dissolution pores. Both types of reservoirs are microporous reservoirs,with a medium pore value of 3.8% and a median permeability value of 0.03×10-3 μm2. The tuffaceous sandstone reservoirs of stage 2 are widely distributed and stratified. The middle-coarse grained tuff reservoirs of stage 3 are developed lenticular in space and developed near the volcanic eruption center.

    To elucidate the sedimentary characteristics and reservoir development patterns of the near source sandy braided river delta in the Laizhou Bay Sag of the Bohai Bay Basin,an analysis was conducted using seismic,drilling,logging data,core observations,and grain size analysis. This study summarized the sedimentary characteristics of the upper part of the 3rd member of the Shahejie Formation (width=32,height=17,dpi=110) in the K Oilfield. The results indicate that in thewidth=32,height=17,dpi=110of the K Oilfield, three subfacies can be identified: the braided river delta plain, braided river delta front, and the braided river front delta. Six sedimentary microfacies are further distinguished: braided river channels, alluvial plains, underwater distributary channels, mouth bars, sheet sands, and underwater interdistributary channels. These microfacies exhibit distinct particle size distribution characteristics. A complete set of transgressive and regressive cycles is evident inwidth=32,height=17,dpi=110. Initially, sedimentation was dominated by underwater distributary channels with sand reservoir thicknesses ranging from 4 to 9 m. Mouth bars developed at the channel ends with reservoir thicknesses of 3 to 8 m. The distributary channels, having the widest planar distribution, constitute the key reservoirs in the area. Subsequently, as the lake level gradually rose, the extent of mouth bar development peaked. After reaching the maximum flooding surface, the lake level slowly declined, leading to the development of the braided river delta plain subfacies at the top ofwidth=32,height=17,dpi=110, where the sandstone thickness reduced to 2 to 5 m.

     As urbanization continues to accelerate, it is difficult to acquire real-time data on potential pavement
     collapse hazards utilizing traditional methods. At present, efficiently monitoring pavement collapse has become a key
     challenge in the field of pavement safety. For this problem, the authors propose a method which combines time-series
     InSAR with wavelet transform. This method analyzes the change cycle of the subsidence point to obtain the deformation information, and extracts the temporal and spatial evolution characteristics of ground subsidence. For those areas
     with obvious spatial and temporal evolution characteristics, the accuracy of the InSAR results will be further verified
     by using the microtremor detection seismograph. We selected 52 Sentinel-1A images captured between March 2022
     and November 2023 to obtain the surface subsidence results in the central urban area of Changchun by the time-series
     InSAR method. The results showed that the maximum deformation rate was-30. 58 mm/ a, and the maximum cumu
    lative subsidence was-73. 3 mm in the study area. A detailed analysis of the representative deformation area, Nanhu
     avenue, revealed a maximum deformation rate of- 28. 44 mm/ a, a maximum daily average deformation rate of-0. 93 mm/d, and a maximum cumulative subsidence of-56.4 mm. The analysis of significant subsidence points
     based on wavelet transform uncovered their subsidence evolution processes. The development of surface subsidence in
     severely affected areas was influenced by multiple periodic variations of different magnitudes and levels, with nested local
     cycles within these periodic time scales that affect the specific trends of subsidence development. Using microtremor
     detection seismograph to collect data from regions with obvious evolutionary characteristics, the authors generated a
     geological profile of Nanhu avenue. According to the profile, significant subsidence points exhibited a phenomenon of
     slurry infiltration. This further validated the accuracy of the subsidence monitoring results. Finally, by comparing the
     actual pavement collapse incident in the Nanhu avenue metro construction area to the subsidence results monitored in this
     study, the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method in practical applications were validated.

    To achieve efficient removal of antibiotics and heavy metals in aquatic environments,a magnetic biochar-based bismuth tungstate photocatalyst (BC@ZFO/BWO)integrating efficient adsorption,visible-light photocatalytic activity,and magnetic recyclability has been prepared by using a hydrothermal method in this study. The experimental results showed that when the mass fraction of magnetic biochar (BC@ZFO)doping was 25%,the adsorption performance and photocatalytic activity of BC@ZFO/BWO were optimal. Within 120 minutes,the adsorption rate of 20.00 mg/L tetracycline (TC)was 58.38%. Within 60 minutes of light reaction,the removal rates of 20.00 mg/L TC and Cr(Ⅵ)were 95.36% and 98.04%,respectively. ESR test results indicated that width=26,height=14,dpi=110 and ·OH played a dominant role in the photocatalytic degradation process. Repeated usage experiments demonstrated that 25% mass fraction (BC@ZFO)/BWO possessed good stability and magnetic recyclability. It can be seen that compared with the traditional bismuth tungstate photocatalysts,the construction of BC@ZFO/BWO photocatalytic composite material enhanced the redox capability of photocatalysts for organic pollutants and heavy metals in water,providing new insights for water pollution remediation and the recovery of powder catalysts.

    In order to explore the electromagnetic wave detection response characteristics of shallow under-
    ground buried targets in a specific medium and meet the urgent needs of urban underground pipeline management
    and unknown target detection, a high-performance antenna for ground penetrating radar system was innovatively
    designed based on the in-depth analysis of the rectangular waveguide theory. Firstly, according to the propagation
    characteristics of electromagnetic waves in the rectangular waveguide, the basic model of the antenna is constructed,
    the cut-off frequency of the antenna is calculated, and the monopole probe is selected as the effective excitation
    source. Secondly, the high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) of Ansys electronics desktop (AEDT) simulation
    platform was used to carry out numerical simulation and optimization of the antenna model. By in-depth analysis of
    the influence of the installation position and insertion depth of the monopole probe in the rectangular waveguide on
    the transmission characteristics of the antenna, the S11 reflection coefficient, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and
    radiation pattern of the antenna were accurately adjusted. Finally, in order to verify the accuracy of the theoretical
    analysis and simulation results, the antenna was fabricated with aluminum foil board material, and the ground
    penetrating radar system was built with vector network analyzer (VNA) in a controlled sand trough environment for
    field testing, and the detection height of the antenna was adjusted to cover underground targets at different depths.
    Experimental results show that the antenna can stably and accurately identify all preset targets. The ground penetrating
    radar antenna based on rectangular waveguide shows excellent directionality, ultra-wideband and high resolution
    after finely adjusting the insertion depth of the probe and the distance between the probe and the short-circuit
    surface of the rectangular waveguide to achieve the best matching of antenna impedance, which provides an efficient

By employing the phase-weighted stacking of cross-correlation functions,dispersion curves are extracted. The fundamental mode dispersion curves are then inverted to obtain a one-dimensional S-wave velocity profile. Utilizing this profile as an initial model,a second-stage inversion is conducted,which reveals the presence of underground cavities. The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of using ultra-short-duration passive source surface-wave imaging for cavity detection.

Combined with new evolution on the Heilongjiang Complex and the Nadanhada Terrane, the authors consider that the transition between the Paleo⁃⁃ Asian Ocean and the Paleo⁃⁃Pacific Ocean in eastern Eurasia occurred in the Late Triassic⁃⁃Early Jurassic, and the Heilongjiang Ocean was an important hinge linking up the tectonic transition between these two domains.

    In order to investigate the diversity and complexity of sedimentary reservoirs, to clarify the sedimentary characteristics and sand body development rules of the Cretaceous Shushanhe Formation (K1s) in Tahe Oilfield, Tarim Basin, and to analyze the relationship between sedimentary microfacies and reservoir sand body distribution,core analysis and logging analysis methods were used to identify lithological markers, mainly including rock color,composition, sedimentary texture, sedimentary structure, rock type and lithological associations, and to identify logging markers, including qualitative logging curve characteristics and quantitative logging data characteristics.Adopting systematic sedimentological analysis methods, mainly geological methods, the authors summarized lithology and logging sedimentary facies markers, and established sedimentary microfacies classification standards, and analyzed sedimentary facies types and their evolutionary characteristics vertically and on the profile through the study of single-well facies and profile facies.We also analyzed the plane characteristics of sedimentary microfacies by using ratio of sand to stratum, and the distribution pattern of sandstone in the region by using thickness of sand body.Based on the core and logging data, a sedimentary microfacies division standard was established, one singlewell sedimentary facies diagram and two horizontal and vertical profile facies diagrams were drawn; while the sedimentary microfacies plane and sand body distribution of four small layers were completed, and the regional braided river delta front sedimentary model was summarized.The Upper Member of Shushanhe Formation (K1s3) in TP12 -8 well area belongs to the shallow water gentle slope braided river delta front sedimentation system, which identifies three sedimentary microfacies of the subaqueous distributary channel, the subaqueous interdistributary channel and the channel edge, and the provenances come from the southern area of Tuofutai.Because the sedimentary environment is a large oxidized wide shallow lake basin, it has unique sedimentary characteristics.Different from the general subaqueous deposition, the color of sediments in the TP12-8 well area is oxidized, such as brown.Sand body is stacking developed, mainly fine sandstone, accounting for about 75% of the total area on the plane, and the thickness of the sand body can reach 1.4-23.9 m.The subaqueous distributary channel is the main sedimentary face in the study area, and the mouth bar does not develop.After the channel enters the lake, it continues to extend,running through the whole study area in a strip shape, with a width of 1.5-9.0 km.

    time-shift eliminates the inaccuracy of beam decomposition caused by irregular topography.Horizontal projection equivalent discrete interval (HPEDI) for beam center and receiver location is designed to solve the drawback of unbalance of imaging amplitude.About the coherence constraint, a new stable complex domain weighted coherence spectrum computing method is proposed, and the threshold extraction and exponential strengthening methods for effective reflection signal are designed to achieve the effective suppression of random noise and incoherent false imaging.Numerical experiments of 2 synthetic data examples and 2 measured data examples are applied to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in noise and false image suppression.The proposed HPEDI method can achieve significant image optimization in amplitude equalization and arc false image suppression for the synthesized data in irregular topography.The coherence spectrum of real measured data verifies that the weighted coherence spectrum is smoother and more stable than the conventional coherence spectrum.Most of the arc false images of the synthesized data in a layered model are suppressed by using the threshold of coherence spectrum.The irregular real measured low signal-to-noise ratio data prove that the proposed coherence constraint method suppresses random noise obviously.The proposed coherence constraint migration imaging method can effectively suppress the noise and false imaging without coherence characteristics in the imaging process, and can significantly improve the imaging effect.

    The Moleger River area in Chen Barag Banner, Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia is located on the east side of the De'erbugan fault zone, in which the well developed northeast and northwest trending structures pro⁃ vide ore⁃bearing space and ore⁃conducting channels. Based on field geological survey, combined with composite geochemical anomalies, IP anomalies and surface trenching engineering, the authors delineated 4 molybdenum ore bodies and 9 molybdenum mineralization bodies in the working area, including 2 industrial ore bodies (Ⅰ and Ⅱ) and 2 low⁃grade ore bodies (Ⅲ and Ⅳ). The ore⁃bearing lithology is altered rhyolitic crystal tuff of Manketouebo Formation. According to the Mo anomaly characteristics, the Moleger River area is divided into four metallogenic potential areas, among them the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 areas are expected for hydrothermal minerals, while the No. 4 area is looking for porphyry molybdenum and polymetallic minerals. The No. 1 and No. 2 areas have great metallogenic potential, and the No. 3 and No. 4 areas are expected to be mineralized. Meanwhile, the future pros⁃ pecting direction of the four metallogenic potential areas is pointed out.

     The characteristics and main controlling factors of the low permeability sandstone reservoirs in the Zhujiang Formation of Yangjiang sag X oilfield have been studied by core observation,rock sample test,rock microscopic observation,scanning electron microscope and mercury injection testing. The results show that the low permeability reservoirs in the Zhujiang Formation of X oilfield are mainly feldspar lithic quartz sandstone,of which the lithic types consist mainly of acidic eruptive rocks and mica quartz schists,with medium to poor separation. The compaction is relatively weak and the cementation of carbonate and argillaceous is strong. A large number of argillaceous carbonate cements and clay mineral cements produced in the delta front sedimentary environment fill intergranular pores,block pore throats,and lead to low permeability of sandstone. The dissolution of feldspar is widespread,but the porosity and permeability increasing are not obvious. Pore type is mainly primary intergranular  pore,and pore throat connectivity is poor. The delta front sedimentation controls the rock composition,particle structure,argillaceous matrix,carbonate source and content of the reservoir. Carbonate and argillaceous cementation are the key factors leading to low permeability of the reservoirs. Low permeability argillaceous sandstone is vertically distributed among the thick mudstones of the prodelta facies. Low permeability calcareous sandstone is mainly distributed at the junction of large mudstone and sandstone. Underwater interdistributary bay mudstone provides carbonate material source for the delta front sedimentary sandstone.

    Rational development and utilization of cultivated land reserve resources are essential for ensuring China’s food security, while suitability evaluation is the prerequisite and foundation.By scientifically assessing the development suitability of these resources, it provides a scientific basis for rational allocation and sustainable utilization of regional land resources.The authors take Da’an City of Jilin Province as the study area and develop a comprehensive suitability evaluation system from natural, social, and ecological perspectives.Using methods such as AHP (analytic hierarchy process), landscape pattern indices, and composite indices, the authors conduct a systematic analysis to reveal quantity, quality, and spatial distribution characteristics of development suitability levels of cultivated land reserve resources in Da’an, and propose corresponding development and utilization strategies.The research results indicate that: the development suitability of cultivated land reserve resources in Da’an City can be categorized into four levels: highly suitable, moderately suitable, marginally suitable, and unsuitable, accounting for 26.64%, 38.83%, 25.08%, and 9.44% of total area of cultivated land reserve resources, respectively.Development suitability levels gradually decrease from central part of Da’an City toward northeast and southwest.Highly suitable and moderately suitable development areas are mainly concentrated in Xinping’an Town and Haituo Township, while unsuitable development areas are mainly concentrated in Longzhao Town in southwestern part of the city.Land use types are primarily saline-alkali land and other grasslands, accounting for 99.67% of total area of cultivated land reserve resources in city.The highly suitable development areas for saline-alkali land are distributed in northwest and southeast, while the highly suitable development areas for other grasslands are concentrated in the central and western parts.Spatial distribution of development suitability levels for cultivated land reserve resources in Da’an City shows significant variation, with moderately suitable development areas being the most prevalent.Development and utilization strategies for cultivated land reserve resources should be tailored to local conditions.Saline-alkali land development should focus on water resource management and soil salinization amelioration measures, while development of other grasslands should carefully control development intensity to maintain regional ecological balance.
