中国东北平原及毗邻地区古水文网变迁研究综述

本文论述东北平原及毗邻地区黑龙江中游的第四纪水文网变迁与时代。首次完整、系统提出下松花江溯源侵蚀切穿佳~依分水岭,袭夺了上松花江、牡丹江形成松花江的袭夺水系。黑龙江中游由于三江平原平均每年以1~6 mm速度下沉,下黑龙江溯源侵蚀,切穿了中俄境内的小兴安岭,形成萝北—嘉荫峡谷,袭夺了上黑龙江、结雅河和布列亚河,形成黑龙江袭夺水系。根据依兰达连河煤矿钻孔岩芯岩相分析,发现在古近纪和新近纪时在达连河—祥顺地区有一古大湖,上松花江和牡丹江流向该大湖,沉积了厚700~1000多米的湖河相碎屑岩含煤地层。后因伊通—依兰裂谷上升,下松花江溯源侵蚀,袭夺了流向该大湖的上松花江和牡丹江。所以松花江和牡丹江从来没有向西流向松嫩平原。松花江和黑龙江袭夺水系的形成时期是在上新世末—早更新世初。此后,松辽平原偏西区域从早更新世至中更新世末形成古大湖,周围河流流向该大湖,呈向心状水系,从松辽平原湖相黏土层分布和古地磁测年确定,至中更新世末该古大湖衰亡。晚更新世以来松辽平原进入河流发展时期,松辽分水岭缓慢上升,并不断北移。黄、渤海在20年内下沉了60 mm,辽河溯源侵蚀,袭夺了东、西辽河。从此形成了辽河与松花江水系的基本格局。     

四川省北川湔江流向演化过程研究

前人对北川湔江袭夺湾位置的争议引发了对古湔江流向演化模式的争议。通过对断裂构造的水系响应方式的研究并辅以河流地貌证据,表明湔江的流向演化经历了银屏口分水岭迁移的主动袭夺过程和新构造运动造成湔江改道的被动袭夺过程,都坝河与通口河近似直角的交汇端应为袭夺湾的准确位置。具体来说,沿断裂发育的古都坝河在曲山镇附近首先注入古湔江,通口河溯源侵蚀切穿银屏口分水岭,古都坝河上游河段被通口河袭夺后改道注入通口河,古都坝河下游河段成为断头河。随后,因构造隆升而南流受阻的古湔江在曲山镇附近改道,水流沿已成断头河的古都坝河下段河道注入通口河。计算表明,北川湔江由古流向向现代流向转变的时期大致为距今970 ka的早更新世晚期。     

万县山区的林业优势浅析

祁连山东段庄浪河流域地貌特征及其构造指示意义

晚新生代以来,青藏高原北东向扩展,致使祁连山地区遭受了强烈的构造隆升,造就了祁连山地区复杂的构造格局和急剧变化的构造地貌,其典型水系流域地貌特征揭示了该地区的新构造活动和地貌演化过程。庄浪河流域位于祁连山东段,作为青藏高原北东向扩展的前缘地区,庄浪河流域的地貌参数对构造活动非常敏感,提取庄浪河流域的地貌信息,有助于揭示祁连山东段庄浪河流域地貌对构造活动的响应,及系统探讨该区地貌发育特征及其所蕴含的构造意义。庄浪河流域内及边缘发育有庄浪河断裂、天祝盆地南缘断裂、疙瘩沟隐伏断裂以及金强河-毛毛山-老虎山断裂。晚新生代以来,这些断裂仍在活动,并且控制着流域内的构造变形、山体隆升和河流水系地貌发育。本研究采用ALOS DEM 12.5 m数据,基于ArcGIS空间分析技术,通过高程条带剖面、河流坡降指标体系（K,SL,SL/K）和Hack剖面、面积-高程积分值（HI）和积分曲线（HC）等方法,对庄浪河流域地貌特征进行了初步分析。结果表明,庄浪河地区地形起伏由北西向南东递减,构造活动存在东西分异的规律;庄浪河流域内部K值、SL、SL/K、HI值西侧高于东侧,Hack剖面西侧相比东侧上凸更明显;H...     

龙门山北段平通河流域地貌演化过程

龙门山位于青藏高原东缘,是青藏高原周缘山脉中陡度变化最大的山脉,也是全球气候和构造活动最为强烈的地区之一,因此成为研究构造、气候如何影响山脉地貌演化过程这一科学问题的良好素材。在位于龙门山北段的平通河流域,汶川地震导致该区强烈的隆升、剥蚀作用,对研究该区地貌演化过程具有重要的启示意义。通过对平通河流域基于DEM数据的地形坡度、水系分布、河流发育程度等的分析,并综合研究区构造特征和岩性特征,获得该流域不同区域的地貌演化方向,其中两个区域的地貌演化最为剧烈:1.平通河流域位于北川-映秀断裂和彭灌断裂之间的地区,未来将发生较快的隆升,地貌向高、陡的方向演化,河流下切作用使河谷两岸形成更加陡峭的地形;2.在北川-映秀断裂上盘附近地区,在构造和气候作用下侵蚀、搬运作用强烈,山体将被快速剥蚀削低,但在河谷两岸也会形成更加陡峭的地形。     

白龙江流域河流纵剖面与基岩侵蚀模型特征

构造地形指标的发展对于构造运动的量化研究具有重要意义。白龙江流域位于青藏高原与西秦岭造山带之间的过渡地带,对该流域地貌是否处于构造隆升与河流侵蚀的均衡状态,以及内部构造活动性的差异如何等问题尚缺乏细致研究。基于Arcgis9.3与ASTERGDEM数据,提取了白龙江流域32条支流的纵剖面,拟合其最佳函数形态,并利用基岩侵蚀模型提取了各个支流的标准化陡峭指数、凹曲度及拟合系数值,来揭示白龙江流域河流对构造运动的响应特征。结果表明:白龙江流域河流拟合函数以指数函数为主,河流大多发育处于侵蚀作用强烈阶段;中上游地区标准化河流陡峭指数值较下游地区偏大,凹曲度值和拟合系数中上游较下游值偏小,反映了白龙江流域中上游与下游构造活动强度的差异性;32条支流的凹曲度大部分小于均衡状态经验平均凹曲度值(0.49),表明白龙江流域地貌形态发育大部分还没有达到均衡阶段。     

渭河水系流域地貌特征及其成因分析

为了研究渭河水系流域地貌特征及其成因,以SRTM-DEM为基础数据,运用ArcGIS软件平台从DEM数据中提取渭河流域内独立的65个小流域,其中43个位于北岸,22个位于南岸;然后划分盆地等级,计算每个流域单元流域的面积、周长、河流总长、形状指数、平均坡度、相对高差以及高程-面积积分值和水系分支比等。通过对流域地貌参数以及高程-面积积分值和分支比等特征参数的分析,发现渭河南北两侧水系和亚流域的发育具有明显的不对称性。成因分析显示,渭河水系的这种特点虽与气候和岩性有关,但新生代以来自北向南的构造掀斜隆升作用是造成渭河流域南北差异特征地貌的主要原因。这些特征指示了渭河水系南北两侧晚新生代构造活动的差异性,反映了秦岭造山带晚新生代以来发生自北向南的掀斜隆升作用。     

浙江方岩丹霞地貌发育的年代、成因与特色研究

方岩丹霞地貌在大地构造上隶属于华南褶皱系构造单元,该单元在燕山运动时期,由于太平洋板块俯冲入欧亚板块之下,促使大陆边缘地壳重新活动.晚侏罗世末至早白垩世,本区构造应力场由晚侏罗世的北西-南东向挤压,转为早白垩世的北东-南西向挤压和北西-南东向的拉张,发育了永康早白垩世断坳盆地,在盆地中沉积了下白垩统永康群馆头组(K1g)、朝川组(K1c)和方岩组(K1f)地层.中生代晚期永康盆地逐渐隆升,结束了红层沉积,遭受侵蚀,方岩地区丹霞地貌密集围谷、密集方山和廊穴等青年期的地貌特点表明该区大规模的抬升发生在较近的地质年代.     

西北以江淮分水岭为界 东濒长江 南与菜子湖白荡湖陈瑶湖毗邻 话说巢湖

巢湖水系位于长江中下游左岸,主体处于安徽省中部。流域西北以江淮分水岭为界,东濒长江,南与菜子湖、白荡湖、陈瑶湖以皖河流域毗邻。呈东西长、南北窄状分布。流域总面积13486平方千米(含铜城闸以下牛屯河流域404平方千米),约占安徽省总面积的9.3%。其中,巢湖闸以上9153平方千米,巢湖闸以下4333平方千米。主要包括合肥、巢湖、六安及安庆4市的16个县区。该水系主要支流发源于大别山区,自西向东流注,经巢湖,由裕溪河(及裕溪河支流牛屯河)进入长江。以巢湖为中心,四周河流呈放射状注入。较大支流有     

贺兰山水系流域数值地貌特征及其构造指示意义

基于Arcgis9.3与ASTER GDEM数据,提取了贺兰山两侧主要水系及其流域边界,根据河流及流域指标提取河流纵剖面、流域的Strahler曲线,并计算其面积高度积分值（Hypsometric Intergral）、河流纵剖面的凹度值（Concavity）。通过HI值、凹度值同河流落差、河流长度、流域面积之间相关性分析发现,后3种地貌参数与HI值、凹度值间的相关性较差。对比分析贺兰山两侧河流HI值及凹度值发现：贺兰山东侧北段活动性大于南段,西侧构造活动性分布规律不明显。结合9条河流所处流域的Strahler曲线、河流纵剖面形态和HI值、凹度值分析发现：汝箕沟及其以北贺兰山地区处于地形演化的老年期,汝箕沟以南贺兰山段处于均衡调整的壮年期。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.

THE MOST PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ALIEN ECOLOGY EVER CONSTRUCTED

Much science-fiction literature is based upon the creation and exploration of alternative environments. Stanley G. Weinbaum's short story, “Parasite Planet,”introduces an unusual environment that may be wrong in the light of recent evidence on Venus but still stimulates the geographical imagination.
