      报告人简介:王海洋,地球化学博士,成都理工大学硕导。主要从事早期地球表生系统环境的氧化还原状态、演化及其与生命协同关系的研究,在Nature Communications、Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta等期刊累计发表论文17篇(第一作者论文6篇),担任PR、Biogeosciences、PPP、MPG等期刊审稿人,主持(过)国家自然科学基金和中国博士后科学基金各1项。
      报告简介:地球历史上最大的一次碳酸盐岩碳同位素组成的负偏Shuram事件的成因问题,一直备受学界关注。一方观点认为该事件与海洋氧化程度上升导致的溶解有机碳氧化有关,代表一次表生系统碳循环的巨大波动,另有学者则表示这可能是成岩作用的结果。通过对埃迪卡拉纪地层进行硫酸根硫氧同位素研究,发现三个古板块上Shuram期间的硫酸根均显示出明显的17O负异常(大气氧的独有信号),同时17O信号与δ34S、δ18O及δ13Ccarb之间存在着良好的耦合关系,这一发现为Shuram事件的原生成因提供确凿证据。通过进一步的定量模拟,作者提出是大气氧气在Shuram期间氧化海洋中缺氧且富硫化氢和溶解有机碳的深部水体,产生大量具有17O负异常的硫酸盐,并最终导致Shuram事件的发生,并证实5.7亿年前大气氧气参与的全球海洋氧化事件的发生。

      报告简介:
      实验古生物学是指以实验模拟方法,研究古生物地层学的一种手段。重点在用实验方法探索事情的过程,而不仅仅是根据地层记录来反推可能经历的故事。
      历史不能重复,但理论和假说需要(并越来越“可以”)验证。
      我们经常说快速埋藏有利于软躯体保存为化石,但快速的定义是X天、Y月,还是Z年?覆盖了多少叫快?
      我们常说沉积环境缺氧会怎样怎样。但缺氧的定义是水中溶解氧低于1-2mg/L的低氧(hypoxia)部分水生生物的生存极限,还是0.00mg/L(anoxia)? 0.00mg/L存在吗?
      400年前的物理学是描述性科学,250年前的化学是描述性科学,150年前的生物学是描述性科学……
      人文科学的历史学已经在实验模拟方向进行着尝试。我们是不是也需要行动。
      行动需要方法论和工具的支持。
      我们有了一些工具,我们更需要有人来设计和制造古生物学研究的专门和特需工具。

      报告题目:Getting salty: Salinity analysis in paleoenvironmental studies
      报告人:Professor Thomas J. Algeo
      报告人单位:University of Cincinnati, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan
      报告时间:6月12日(周一)下午3:00
      报告地点:图书馆三楼报告厅
      主办:国重沉积盆地研究中心、科技处、人教处
      报告人简介:
      Thomas Algeo completed his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan in 1989 and worked in the oil patch for several years before joining the faculty of the University of Cincinnati in 1991. He has specialized in the development of elemental proxies for paleoenvironmental analysis, laying the foundation for the modern approach to reconstruction of redox, salinity, and productivity conditions in paleoenvironmental systems. He has studied all of the Big Five mass extinctions and is the author of a leading theory for the Late Devonian extinctions, linking them to the evolution of vascular land plants.
      报告简介: 
      Salinity has been one of the most challenging features of paleodepositional systems to reconstruct. Recent work by Prof. Algeo and his colleagues has demonstrated the robustness of multiple elemental proxies for estimation of watermass salinity in ancient shale/mudstone formations. This talk will review recent work in reconstruction of salinity in epicratonic and continental-margin aqueous systems from Mesozoic to Paleoproterozoic in age, with examples drawn from many regions including the Nanhua Basin of South China. Some of the important findings of this work are that (1) around half of the dozens of epicratonic shale formations examined to date were deposited under brackish or (more rarely) freshwater conditions, rather than fully marine conditions as previously assumed; (2) salinity variation generally correlates strongly with variation in redox and productivity conditions; and (3) the expression in cratonic systems of many geologic events (e.g., the Toarcian OAE) was influenced by salinity fluctuations.

      报告简介:
      The stratigraphic architecture of Upper Holocene sediments along the coast of Al Qahmah in southern Red Sea, Saudi Arabia, provides a high-resolution analog of marginal marine carbonate and siliciclastic sedimentation under variable climatic, tectonic, and sea-level conditions. The sediments include a basal shallow marine limestone and overlying beach, deltaic, fluvial, eolian, and sabkha siliciclastic deposits, comprising four stratigraphic units ranging from 10s to 100 s cm thick. A lithostratigraphy is established using subsurface stratigraphic and petrographic data from 64 trenches and three shallow refraction seismic sections. A chronostratigraphy is established using four age points and sedimentation rates. The entire interval has been deposited in the last ~4000 years. Significant stratigraphic variability is reflected by vertical and lateral changes in the thickness, type, and stratal geometry of the four units. Five major geological events are interpreted: Initial shallow marine carbonate deposition during a relative sea-level highstand was terminated by seaward progradation of deltaic-beach sediments during a slow shoreline regression. This is followed by a major stream channel incision during the maximum regression and a relative sea-level fall. The ensuing fluvial channel filling, transgressive ravinement, and deposition of beach sediments signify a relative sea-level rise. Finally, eolian, sabkha, and beach sediments have been deposited in a stabilized and diversified environmental setting under an arid climate. The lacuna associated with stream erosion and transgressive ravinement is up to ~400 years long, resulting in a stratigraphic completeness of ~88%. The sedimentation rate of the siliciclastic sediments is ~0.1 cm/year estimated at a scale of 1000s of years. Episodic syn-depositional faulting in the source area and depositional site, relative seal-level change, autogenic environmental shift, and/or climatic changes between humid and arid conditions have collectively played variable roles in the formation of the stratigraphic variability. The interpreted tectonic, relative sea-level, and climatic trends offer an important data point for future studies in the Red Sea region and beyond for the Late Holocene.

      Dr Joti Rouillard
      A researcher in astrobiology and geobiology at USTC, and my current research interests includes 1) life detection protocols and 2) early life evolution, from a naturalist and modelling perspective.
      Keywords: self-organization, astrobiology, early evolution
      Abstract:
      In this presentation, I will introduce different studies my colleagues and I conducted in the fields of astrobiology and early life.
      Finding life on other planets constitutes a major challenge for humanity. However, numerous controversies arising during the search for the oldest life traces on Earth have put under light the difficulty to distinguish true microfossils from different types of abiotic objects. I will first give more details on one such type of abiotic object: self-organized mineral aggregates with shapes reminiscent of life, and named silica-carbonate biomorphs.
      The intriguing shapes produced by this simple chemical system may be linked with cross-catalysis phenomena between two precipitation reactions. This hints at the possibility of creating similar self-organized precipitates in other chemical systems. Using a numerical model inspired by cellular automata, I will show how, provided simple conditions are fulfilled, all cross-catalytic coprecipitating systems can be expected to produce a wide variety of complex textures.
      The common occurrence of abiotic systems looking like life means that it is important to elaborate rigorous, quantitative protocols for recognizing life on other planets. Current protocols for biogenicity assessments have several limitations, and machine learning may bias search towards Earth-like life. I will discuss two alternative approaches that may answer these issues and show promising results.
      At the earliest stages of life history on Earth, the emergence of evolutionary processes is considered critical for life to progress towards the diversity and complexity it exhibits today. However, environment where life has appeared were probably unstable, with temperature, pH and redox conditions changing during time. If a population evolves to be more efficient under certain environmental conditions, it may be detrimental to long-term population survival because the environment changes over time. I will present a numerical model in which it is assessed under which conditions an evolving population of protocells could coexist or outcompete a non-evolving population.

      报告简介:
      The phylum Bryozoa comprises aquatic colonial animals known from the early Cambrian until today. The main group of bryozoans during Palaeozoic, Palaeostomata, is represented by more than 600 genera, mainly distributed between the early Ordovician and late Triassic. After their fast diversification in the Ordovician, palaeostomates declined strongly in the Hirnantian. Total bryozoan diversity remained low during the Silurian although quite abundant local faunas are known worldwide. In the succeeding Devonian time palaeostomates experienced several waves of diversification which resulted in a significant increase of bryozoan diversity. 
      The reasons for the depressed bryozoan diversity in the Silurian are not completely understood. Detailed taxonomic analysis shows that during the Silurian some shifts in the composition of bryozoans communities occurred. These changes determined the Devonian diversification of bryozoans. Ecological factors like depressed reef growth could have influenced the bryozoan diversity. Furthermore, sampling bias in the study of Silurian bryozoans appears significant. The majority of bryozoan species in the Silurian reveal small sizes and are apparently often neglected in the field. The ongoing project aims the study of bryozoan faunas in the lower Silurian of South China, in order to search for possible explanations of the sluggish diversification of bryozoans in the Silurian.
