施秉喀斯特地貌世界遗产价值研究

对施秉喀斯特演化环境、地貌类型及分布、地貌演化史、石灰岩与白云岩地貌差异等特征进行研究,试图提炼施秉喀斯特的世界遗产地貌价值。研究表明：施秉喀斯特具有热带―亚热带地区独特的喀斯特地貌演化环境;展示了热带―亚热带地区独特而典型的白云岩峰丛峡谷喀斯特地貌景观,从分水岭至峡谷区呈现了峰林洼地―峰林谷地―峰丛谷地―峰丛峡谷喀斯特地貌逆向回春演替规律,是白云岩峡谷喀斯特地貌形态及地貌演化的模式地;记录了古生代以来3次较大的碰撞运动,即早古生代的加里东运动,晚古生代的海西造山运动,及中、新生代以来的印支运动、燕山运动和喜马拉雅山运动。燕山运动是本区最强烈的造山运动,产生了区内众多褶皱和断裂构造,奠定了施秉地区的地貌构造轮廓。喜马拉雅山运动,尤其是第二、三幕运动,全面塑造了施秉喀斯特峡谷地貌;施秉白云岩喀斯特地貌展现出与石灰岩封闭型地貌不同的以开放型地貌为主的特征,在中国南方喀斯特系列自然遗产中有重要地位,具备地貌世界遗产价值。     

中国荔波锥状喀斯特世界自然遗产价值全球对比分析

研究世界自然遗产地价值,对遗产地本身以及其他类似区域的可持续发展有重要意义。基于系统论思想,将"中国南方喀斯特"第一批三处遗产地中的荔波锥状喀斯特置于全球视角,选取相似的、具有代表性的区域,结合世界遗产第八条有关地质地貌特征与演化历史等方面的评价标准,进行全球对比分析,揭示其全球显著价值。研究表明:荔波锥状喀斯特具有更为独特的演化环境与更为复杂的地质演化过程;更有典型的锥状喀斯特单体形态与较为齐全的地貌组合类型,更有罕见的锥状喀斯特森林生态系统和生命记录。荔波锥状喀斯特是反映地球热带-亚热带锥状喀斯特演化历史主要阶段的典型范例,极具代表中国南方喀斯特的世界遗产价值。     

全国第15届洞穴学术会议在广西乐业凤山召开

由中国地质科学院岩溶地质研究所、中国地质学会洞穴专业委员会主办,广西乐业县人民政府、凤山县人民政府承办,广西地质学会协办的"全国第十五届洞穴学术会议暨乐业凤山世界地质公园发展研讨会"于2009年11月14-18日在广西乐业县和凤山县召开。这次会议的主题是:中国南方峰丛喀斯特天坑与洞穴系统发育演化研究。来自全国的岩溶洞穴专家、国内外洞穴探险者、旅游洞穴管理人员等200余人出席了会议。     

重庆奉节天坑地缝喀斯特地质遗迹及发育演化

小寨天坑、天井峡地缝式喀斯特峡谷位于重庆市奉节县南部深切割峰丛谷地区,发育在一个流域面积280km2,落差1600m的喀斯特水文系统中,与巨大的地下河相连。前者深662m,口径626m,容积119×106m3,是目前世界上规模最大的天坑;后者长6162m,最大深度229m,最小宽度1m,为世界上罕见的地缝式喀斯特峡谷,具有很高的美学观赏价值和科研价值。天坑、地缝的形成条件,需要有连续沉积厚度巨大的碳酸盐岩层和平缓的岩层产状、高强度水动力作用地下河的存在、地表深切和地表地下排水基准面的长期大幅度下降、厚度相当大的包气带、地表与地下喀斯特作用协同等。天坑、地缝主要形成于峡谷期(三峡期),经历了3个演化阶段,即宽缓河流谷地阶段、峡谷及天坑地缝形成阶段和现代河谷持续深切阶段。     

灌丛沙堆的研究进展与意义

灌丛沙堆是一种重要的风积地貌类型。在阐明灌丛沙堆分布规律、基本特征的基础上,着重论述了沙源、植被、风况等三个主要因素在灌丛沙堆地貌发育过程中所起的作用,总结了灌丛沙堆形成演化各阶段的地貌特征。随着灌丛沙堆地貌研究的不断深入,灌丛沙堆在土地荒漠化监测与评价、区域环境演变研究等方面的应用日益被国内外学者所关注。     

中国丹霞地貌分布(下)

地貌实地调研是区域地貌学研究的传统方法之一。通过大规模的野外考察,收集第一手素材,结合实验室参数对比分析,可以解决丹霞地貌的很多科学问题,比如地貌空间结构、形态特征和分类问题,地貌发育演化的内外动力机制问题以及地貌资源的开发利用和保护问题等等。通过红层物质的承压力差异,很好地区别了陆相红层与海相红层发育的地貌形态差异;通过区域红层盆地的沉积分析,返演红盆发育演化规律;对比丹霞地貌大量的微地貌形态差异,分析其内外动力的主导因素;分析丹霞地貌区自然景观与文化景观的外在依存关系,深入剖析其紧密结合的内在联系,赋予丹霞地貌深厚的文化遗产价值。随着丹霞地貌国内外大尺度调查的深入开展,这种地貌具有全球广域分布的事实日益显现,而以中国科学家命名并率先在中国开展大规模考察和研究的丹霞地貌,随着其自然和文化遗产价值越来越被社会各界认识,丹霞地貌正成为地貌资源开发利用的亮点和全球地貌对比研究的热点。     

王乃樑先生对中国地貌学发展的主要贡献

王乃樑先生是中国著名的地貌学家。20世纪40年代至90年代初期,先后在清华大学和北京大学任教。他对中国黄土高原、华北、东北、西北、四川、湖北和广西等广大地区进行了地貌和新生代沉积研究,在新生代沉积与地貌演化历史、新构造活动与构造地貌学、地貌学与沉积学基本理论与方法等诸多领域取得了一系列创新性的成果。在地貌学学科建设、人才培养、科学研究和国内外学术交流诸方面,为中国地貌学的发展做出了卓越贡献。     

喀斯特流域水系分形, 熵及其地貌意义

把分形理论和熵有机地结合起来，系统地研究了喀斯特流域和非喀斯特流域的干谷水系、常流水系和地下水系的分形结构及其熵的地貌意义，初步揭示了流域水系的形成与地貌发育演化之间的关系，认为仅利用水系的分维值来分析地貌演化是不够的，还应考虑流域水系的熵值变化．     

基于植被覆盖与生产力视角的亚喀斯特区域生态环境特征研究——以黔中部分地区为例

为了研究亚喀斯特区域的生态环境特征,以黔中部分地区为研究区,利用2010年的TM影像数据和MODIS-NPP影像数据,通过NDVI像元二分模型法和格网计算法,对比分析亚喀斯特与喀斯特区域的植被覆盖和净第一生产力,探讨不同区域的植被状况、土地承载力等生态特征.研究发现亚喀斯特区域有着不同于传统喀斯特区域的生态特征,在相同的土地利用类型条件下,前者具有更好的植被覆盖水平和净第一生产力,但其生态环境更易受到人类活动的干扰.因此区域的生态环境问题需要引起关注,并应采取针对性措施进行生态恢复和保护,提出生态发展策略,旨在对区域的生态环境研究更加深入,促进人地和谐发展.     

传统乡村地域文化景观研究进展

传统乡村地域文化景观既是历代劳动人民的智慧结晶,也是传承地域文化的物质载体,具有重要的历史、 文化和科研价值。随着对景观文化遗产保护由局部点状斑块向区域性文脉整体保护认识的转变,相关研究日益受 到国内外更多学者的关注。本文从传统乡村地域文化景观概念与内涵阐释入手,对近20 年来国内外相关研究进展 进行了总结,认为目前的研究主要集中在乡村地域文化景观的特征、景观的变化、景观的保护三大方面,其中,在现 代经济的冲击下乡村地域文化景观的变化及相应的保护调控措施是学者们研究的重点;学者们运用历史学、地理 学、建筑学、景观生态学理论与方法,形成了多学科参与研究的良好局面,但是在研究的内容和深度方面还有待于 进一步深入。

The 10th International Symposium on Permafrost Engineering——Challenge and adaption of permafrost engineering to a changing climate

Permafrost engineering has been developing rapidly in recent years. Many projects have been undertaken with the latest technologies and show their importance in supporting regional social and economical development. For example, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has been a milestone project in permafrost engineering. However, when designing and building infrastructures in cold regions,
