虎跳峡印象

去年暑假,妈妈带我去了向往已久的美丽云南。太多优美的景色让我大饱眼福,太多奇异的风土人情让我大开眼界,但一直让我记忆深刻的还要数虎跳峡了。我们从丽江赶往香格里拉的路上,一直是盘山路,急弯不断,而且海拔不断升高。虽然窗外美景处处,我却开始有晕车的感觉,昏昏欲睡。随着藏族导游的讲解指点,我抬头向窗外望去,一眼就看到了宽阔的金沙江横卧在眼前。别看金沙江有"金"字,江水却是奇妙的红色,缓缓、蜿蜒地向前流动着。不管怎样,这顿时让无精打采的我兴奋起来,猜测着将会有什么到来。     

中国式“页岩气革命”

传统能源的日渐枯竭,势必推动新能源的开发利用,而作为新替代能源的页岩气,它的有效开发,既能增加天然气的供给,缓解天然气的供需矛盾,又以其开采周期长和生产寿命长的优点,成为新时期绿色能源的"宠儿"。所谓页岩气,是指赋存于富有机质泥页岩及其夹层中,以吸附或游离     

时空中的抚仙湖“虫”

我,是一只被后人称作“抚仙湖虫”的小虫子,和我的兄弟姐妹们一起游弋在湛蓝的海底,和其他生活在一起的小动物们相比,我们的块头算比较大的,而且我们家族成员众多,也算是海底的一大势力。我们的眼睛在眼柄上,伸在头的“外面”,看着那些眼睛长在头“里面”的三叶虫觉得好奇怪。我们的腿软软的,走路不怎么快,但30多节的身体收放自如,让我们能够在海底游泳和转弯,这些坚硬的体节也很好地保护了我们,再加上尾巴上的一根硬刺,让那些觊觎这丁点肉的捕食者们对我们敬而远之。     

“石”里乾坤

璀璨夺目的钻石,典雅华贵的红宝石,魅力神奇的蓝宝石,青翠欲滴的祖母绿,绚丽多彩的金绿宝石,晶莹剔透的水晶,温润细腻的和田玉……自古以来,这些美丽炫目的宝石作为饰品受到广大女性的青睐。宝石是物质承受了剧烈沸腾、炽热的熔炼、无法缓和的巨大压力、不可避免的碰撞与爆燃,     

史前香港

香港,每当提起这个名字,相信每个人都有一种想要亲自去看一看的冲动。美丽的维多利亚港,雄伟的国际会展中心……,不知道吸引了多少双眼睛,多少颗心。说她是东方明珠,其实更像是一个完美的情人,让人朝思暮想,让人恋恋不舍……然而万事万物均有始有终,香港也     

无风起波浪 无水浪滔天 陕西靖边“波浪谷”拍摄记

在地球上,有一个神秘的地方,就是美国亚利桑那州的“波浪谷”,那犹如波浪般红白相间的纹路,如时光岁月的痕迹,让人欲罢不能。那里是闻名于世的印第安人领地,美国政府为了保护“波浪谷”这个世界仅有的的特殊地貌,不公开对外进行旅游宣传,想去游览必须获得许可,每天只有20个人的名额。     

雅安地震:政府从容有序 救援更加科学

正北京时间2013年4月20日8时02分,在四川,在雅安,在芦山,本来应该是一个有美好开始的早晨,也应该是一个安静的早晨,然而不应该动的却动了,天降灾难地动山摇,不应该毁的也毁了。一场灾难突然袭击,来不及逃脱,老天爷又跟四川开了个玩笑。雅安,不久的将来,你的世界,仍会春暖花开。8时02分四川省雅安市芦山县发生7.0级地震。震源深度13公里。截至4月27日8时,地震遇难人数升至     

果蔬盆栽——引导家庭绿化新时尚

工薪阶层,忙忙碌碌上班,风风火火做事,忙里偷闲买菜,忙中出乱,忘了买葱,蒜,香菜,辣椒之类的调料是常有的事,上了锅台,才发现没有买,凑合着做出来的菜,味道差劲得难以下咽,烦恼。     

西藏高原古地磁及大陆漂移

关于欧亚板块与印度洋扳块的交接地带,根据我们在青藏科学考察中,采集了雅鲁藏布江两侧大量的定向标本:帕里的上新世沉积岩,林周和比如的晚白垩世到古新世的红砂岩,札木的花岗闪长岩,定日白垩纪灰岩,晚侏罗纪的拉萨灰岩和江孜扳岩,土隆三迭纪砂岩,进行了古地磁研究,其结果表明:印度河上游-雅鲁藏布江的北侧属于欧亚板块,南侧属于印度洋板块。 根据古纬度的变化表明:印度洋板块向北漂移,自白垩纪以来,其年平均速率不超过5.5厘米。     

国际矿业大会素描

2011年11月初的天津,已入深秋,海风带来湿润的空气,有了接近冬天的寒意。位于天津市西青区的梅江会展中心,却是一片热气腾腾的场面。大大小小的货车、客车鱼贯而入,来自世界各地、全国各地的参展人员提着大包小包,匆匆走向展馆入口,偌大的会展中心广场变得拥挤起来。     

A Monte Carlo study of rainfall forecasting with a stochastic model

A procedure for short-term rainfall forecasting in real-time is developed and a study of the role of sampling on forecast ability is conducted. Ground level rainfall fields are forecasted using a stochastic space-time rainfall model in state-space form. Updating of the rainfall field in real-time is accomplished using a distributed parameter Kalman filter to optimally combine measurement information and forecast model estimates. The influence of sampling density on forecast accuracy is evaluated using a series of a simulated rainfall events generated with the same stochastic rainfall model. Sampling was conducted at five different network spatial densities. The results quantify the influence of sampling network density on real-time rainfall field forecasting. Statistical analyses of the rainfall field residuals illustrate improvement in one hour lead time forecasts at higher measurement densities.     

Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration Aims And Scope

正This journal is established by the Institute of Engineering Mechanics(IEM),China Earthquake Administration,to promote scientific exchange between Chinese and foreign scientists and engineers so as to improve the theory and practice of earthquake hazards mitigation,preparedness,and recovery.To accomplish this purpose,the journal aims to attract a balanced number of papers between Chinese and     

Foreword

Destructive earthquakes have caused great damage in China and the United States and collapsing buildings havecaused many deaths and injuries. The field of earthquake engineering studies earthquake hazards, the occurrence ofearthquakes of various magnitudes, the nature of the ground shaking during an earthquake, the vibration of structuresduring earthquakes, the strengthening of existing structures and the design of new structures to be earthquake resistant,and finally, how to cope with earthquake damage and restore a city to normal functioning. Such efforts are in progressin both countries, but unfortunately, the language barrier interferes with the free flow of information between China andthe Untied States. It would be mutually beneficial if some means could be developed to promote the exchangeof information across the Pacific Ocean. This new journal has been established for this purpose and its success willbe an important step in promoting earthquake engineering in China and the United States.

Enhancing remote sensing research on global change to improve our understanding on Earth system processes

正Global Change includes climate change and other environmental changes caused by the joint interaction among various layers of Earth. From the positive side, global change provides new opportunities to human and other living forms on Earth. In the meantime, it creates tremendous challenges and negative impact. At present, the negative impacts have reached all primary processes of the global ecosystem and every aspect of human society, especially causing degradation of the ecosystem. For instance, intensive deforestation causes decline of biodiversity; global warming causes sea level rise and increases
