The convergence of GIS and social media: challenges for GIScience

It is hard to believe that 10 years have passed since we wrote our guest editorial for IJGIS (Sui and Goodchild 2001 Sui, D.Z. and Goodchild, M.F. 2001. Are GIS becoming new media?. International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 15(5): 387–390. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). Using the nascent evidence that emerged in the late 1990s, we speculated back in 2001 that geographic information systems (GIS) were rapidly becoming part of the mass media. On the basis of the proposition of GIS as media, we were able to link GIScience with theories in media studies such as Marshall McLuhan's law of the media, which considers modern media as modifiable perceptive extensions of human thought (Sui and Goodchild 2003 Sui, D.Z. and Goodchild, M.F. 2003. A tetradic analysis of GIS and society using McLuhan's law of media. Canadian Geographers, 47(1): 5–17. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). Remarkable conceptual and technological advances in GIS have been made during the past 10 years. The goal of this review is to provide an update on the ‘GIS as media’ argument we made 10 years ago and to discuss the new challenges for GIScience posed by the growing convergence of GIS and social media.     

贵州松桃高地超大型锰矿床绿色勘查探索与实践

本文选择贵州松桃高地锰矿作为研究对象,从实际情况出发,编写了实施方案,在勘查过程中,分别从现场分区规划、道路修筑、生活区、工作区、安全环保文化建设、水资源保护以及固体废弃物管理七个方面进行具体实施,采用"一基多孔"技术,选择环保型清洗液,对开挖的地块进行了复垦复绿工作,整个勘查过程实现了生态环境的保护,环境恢复治理的落实,和谐地勘的推广。绿色勘查取得成功表明,通过实施绿色勘查可以最大限度的减少勘查工作对生态环境的扰动和影响,实现了资源勘查和生态环境双赢。     

Automatic change detection for road networks from images based on GIS

Up to now, detailed strategies and algorithms of automatic change detection for road networks based on GIS have not been discussed. This paper discusses two different strategies of automatic change detection for images with low resolution and high resolution using old GIS data, and presents a buffer detection and tracing algorithm for detecting road from low-resolution images and a new profile tracing algorithm for detecting road from high-resolution images. For feature-level change detection (FL-CD), a so-called buffer detection algorithm is proposed to detect changes of features. Some ideas and algorithms of using GIS prior information and some context information such as substructures of road in high-resolution images to assist road detection and extraction are described in detail.     

海塔盆地优质储层发育特征及控制因素分析

凝灰质砂岩是海塔盆地主要油气储集岩层,凝灰质含量随地层变老而增多,储层物性非均质性强,大量薄片等储层微观分析结果表明,凝灰质砂岩成分和结构成熟度较低,储层储集空间主要为溶蚀成因的次生孔隙,且次生孔隙比例随地层变老而增加.本文提出孔隙成因法,并根据该方法确定凝灰质砂岩优质储层物性下限的孔隙度为10％,渗透率为0.1×10...     

U—TAE算法提取城市热岛信息的空间尺度分析

U-TAE算法是一种使用不同范围的滑动窗口来提取城市热岛信息并根据稳健估计法设定窗口阈值的算法,该算法根据像元被记为热岛像元的累积总次数是否为0来区别热岛区与非热岛区,根据累积总次数的多少来判断热岛强度的强弱,具有动态阈值的特点和无偏特性。文章以长沙地区为例,对U-TAE算法在6个不同空间尺度上（5×5,11×11,25×25,51×51,101×101,201×201）对城市热岛信息提取的效果从提取范围、提取强度、空间构成以及大面积热岛提取稳定程度4个方面进行了评估。结果认为大小为11×11的窗口在4个方面均取得较好的效果,提取的城市热岛信息更加完整和有效。     

Estimated reproductive success of brooders and heritability of growth traits for large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) using microsatellites

We estimated the reproductive success of adult brood fish and the heritability of growth-related traits for large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea). We created two independent full-factorial cross groups (1 and 2) by crossing 4 males×4 females and 4 males×3 females, respectively. We measured the body weight (BW), body length (BL), and body height (BH) of 281 individuals from group 1 and 318 individuals from group 2 at 20 months post hatch (harvest age). We also collected a tissue sample from each individual. The parents and offspring were genotyped using six polymorphic microsatellites. Of the 599 offspring, 99.2% were assigned to a single pair of parents. In both groups, some parent pairs produced a large number of offsprings while other pairs did not produce any offspring. The genetic diversity and putative Ne were lower in the offsprings than in the parents in both groups. The heritability estimates at 20-month age were 0.13±0.10 for BW, 0.19±0.13 for BL, and 0.09±0.06 for BH. The genetic and phenotype correlation between BW, BL, and BH was close to 1. The results provide basic information for selective breeding and further genetic characterization of large yellow croaker.     

云南马关碧(钾)玄质火山角砾岩中矿物混晶包体特征及其地质意义

在云南马关碧(钾)玄质火山角砾岩中发现了一类特殊包体,呈红色与黑色两种。经X射线粉晶衍射鉴定,红色者为以锰铝榴石为主要结晶相的隐晶—非晶质混晶,黑色者为以绿辉石为主要结晶相的隐晶—非晶质混晶。两种矿物混晶包体在一定程度上类似于熔浆玻璃或熔体囊,它们具有同源演化的相似地球化学特征。文中通过对两种矿物混晶包体的显微特征与地球化学分析研究表明,它们是亏损地幔部分熔融的产物,并作为一种不混溶熔体成分被碱性玄武岩浆携带、运移上升。它们代表了石榴石相(榴辉岩相)地幔源区组分,暗示新生代时期软流圈上涌除释放小体积交代熔体交代上地幔使其富集之外,还造成岩石圈地幔拆沉,尖晶石相地幔组分向石榴石相地幔组分转变。另外,据两种混晶包体与其他类型包体和寄主岩岩浆的不同来源,推测马关地区深部岩石圈地幔经交代作用发生过两次转换。首先是由原始地幔向亏损地幔转化,并发生部分熔融,其后是由亏损地幔转化为富集地幔,形成富碱岩浆和与其互不混溶的进一步富集成矿元素的地幔流体。由此暗示滇西地区与富碱斑岩有关的多金属成矿作用即受制于这一深部地质过程与壳幔混染机制。
