四川康定“11·22”地震地表破裂及房屋震害特征

2014-11-22,位于青藏高原东部的四川省康定县发生了Ms 6.3级地震,为一次左旋走滑事件,发震构造为鲜水河断裂带南东段的色拉哈断裂。对地震灾区进行的地表破裂特征调查和房屋震害调查表明:1.地震没有形成明显的地表破裂,地表破裂主要表现为张性地裂缝、喷砂冒水、小型滑坡、道路边坡失稳及滚石等;2.烈度图长轴方向与鲜水河断裂走向一致;3.房屋震害具有农牧区房屋破坏普遍,城镇房屋破坏较轻的分布特点;4.2014-11-25的Ms 5.8级强余震,加深了灾区破坏程度。     

基于复杂网络理论的城市路网结构特性分析

复杂网络理论为研究网络的拓扑结构和统计特征提供了新途径.该文将复杂网络理论应用于城市路网,首先探讨了复杂网络的统计分析方法,选择特征路径长度、聚类系数、节点的度分布、网络同配/异配性、网络弹性作为度量指标.在总结分析现有路网建模方法基础上,采用基于角度综合的对偶方法进行路网建模.最后以长沙市路网为例,利用ArcGIS和MatLab分别处理路网空间数据和计算统计指标,分析其小世界特性、无标度特性以及同配异配性、网络弹性等结构特性,得出了一些有益的结论.     

基于道路网络的商业网点市场域分析

社会经济活动中人们的空间行为往往是基于道路网络来实现的。但是,目前多数研究都假设地理空间是一个均质空间,采用基于平面欧氏距离的空间分析方法,这是有局限的。本文阐述了基于网络距离的网络Voronoi图基本概念和实现方法,以武汉市商业零售连锁企业为例,分别采用基于欧氏距离的普通Voronoi图方法和基于网络距离的网络Voronoi图方法来确定商业零售网点的市场域,结果表明武汉市主城区商业网点市场域较小、主城区外围市场域较大。市场域大小与城市路网密度呈现一定相关关系,路网密度高、市场域小,路网密度低、市场域大。两种方法的计算结果存在一定差异,差异大小与路网密度有关,路网密度大、差异小,路网密度小、差异大。这表明在路网密度大的情况下,可以采用普通Voronoi图粗略地模拟商业网点的市场域。     

基于GWR模型的道路网络对森林碳密度干扰的地理变异

以闽江上游地区为例,在分析三明市2007—2016年森林碳密度时空动态的基础上,采用常规的以及改进后的道路网络测度指标,应用缓冲区分析方法和地理加权回归（Geographically Weighted Regression,GWR）模型,从线上和面上分别探讨道路网络对森林碳密度干扰的地理变异规律。结果表明：① 碳密度受到道路网络的较大影响,路网影响域内外碳密度的大小排序为：路网影响域内＜整个研究区＜路网影响域外;多条道路影响域重叠区的碳密度(26.330 Mg/hm²)明显低于单条道路影响域的碳密度(37.406 Mg/hm²);不同等级道路影响域的碳密度由大到小依次为县道＞高速＞省道＞其它道路＞国道＞乡道。道路网络对2007—2016年碳密度的降低也有明显影响。② GWR模型的分析结果表明,路网对碳密度的影响程度随着样点的变化而变化,具有“空间非平稳性”。碳密度随着路网密度的增加而降低,而随着离道路距离的增加而增加。③ 研究区西北部和中部,GWR的回归系数及相关系数均较大,表明这2个区域道路对碳密度影响大且解释力皆较强。     

地震灾害预测和应急模拟系统的设计与应用——以永安市城市应急系统为例

城市防震减灾是地震潜在频发区提高自然灾害防治能力建设的重要方面。本文结合福建省永安市城市防震减灾信息管理系统的建设,探讨设计防震减灾数值模型,分析模型集成的关键技术,构建了地震风险评估、建筑物易损性评价、生命与财产损失估算、救援与救灾管理调度等模型和基于GIS开发的震害预测和应急模拟系统。该系统在福建省永安市的实际应用表明,通过对地震灾害预测结果的分析,可加强城市抗震中的薄弱环节,为灾区政府应急响应和制订对策提供决策支持辅助信息,从而显著提高城市防震减灾的综合能力。     

基于水环境改善的城市湖泊群河湖连通方案研究

河湖水系连通作为水资源调配、水生态修复与改善的重要手段,已成为江河湖泊治理工作的重点之一。河湖水系连通方案的选择和连通效应的评估直接关系到连通工程对湖泊水动力和水环境的改善效果,但目前缺乏对水系连通后河湖水动力和水质的综合评估体系。以汤逊湖湖泊群为研究对象,构建二维水动力水质数学模型,选取NH₃-N、TN和TP作为水质指标,模拟不同连通方案下汤逊湖湖泊群的流场及水质变化情况,结合水动力、水质和经济社会三个方面的评价指标建立综合评价体系,对各连通方案下湖泊群的改善效果进行评估。研究结果表明：引水后湖泊水体流动性有了很大的改善,河湖连通工程能够在短时间内达到改善湖泊水质的目的,但随着引水时间的增长,改善率逐渐减小。通过对比五种连通方案发现,方案五对水动力和水质的改善都取得了最显著的效果,且能够带来最大的引水效益。     

铁路网规模测算方法体系与实证分析

通过对路网规模多种测算方法的比较,系统地建立了用于测算铁路网规模的方法体系;经比较分析,发现地理空间特征和经济社会指标是影响路网规模的基本因素。根据数据的可获得性和测算方法的适应性,选择连通度模型对中国铁路基础路网规模进行测算,引入空间运输绝对联系强度和首位联系度对快速路网规模进行测算,并结合GIS技术测定最终的铁路网规模。研究结果表明,为实现铁路服务的普适化,并解决主要运输通道运力紧张的困境,中国未来铁路网的合理规模应达到15万公里,较目前铁路网规模增长近1倍。     

基于网络时空核密度的交通事故多发点鉴别方法

交通事故多发点是道路交通安全管理的重要治理对象,如何利用空间统计方法对其进行高效鉴别是研究热点。以华东某地为研究区域,以2013~2015年该研究区域的道路交通事故数据为研究对象,以时空道路网络为视角,通过路网匹配和路网裁剪形成事故时空子路段,提出一种基于交通事故场景的网络时空核密度估计值作为鉴别指标,用累计频率法和零膨胀的负二项回归模型确定鉴别阈值的事故多发点鉴别方法。     

汶川特大地震灾后多源遥感影像处理技术及信息提取方法

5.12汶川特大地震发生后,灾区地面交通瘫痪,遥感技术为准确掌握灾情发挥了宏观快速的优势.灾区震后遥感影像来源丰富,通过分析从不同遥感平台和传感器获取到的灾区震后遥感影像的特点,探讨了多源遥感影像的处理方法,特别是针对非标准航空影像处理提出了解决思路.并归纳了基于多源数据进行震害信息提取,确定滑坡、泥石流等地质灾害体地理位置的几种技术及方法.     

河流洪涝对城市公共安全应急响应能力的影响研究——以上海市外环以内中心城区为例

以上海市外环以内中心城区作为研究区域,采用洪涝情景模拟与GIS网络分析相结合的研究方法,评估了当前以及未来不同重现期河流洪涝情景下城市公共安全（110）应急响应能力。研究结果表明：在洪涝情景下,部分城市路网瘫痪、交通中断,应急车辆无法通行,公安应急服务空间可达性范围较正常情况明显变小,应急响应能力降低;由于高脆弱性区域（棚户区）主要位于黄浦江沿岸地区,江水漫溢导致淹没路段较多,因此部分棚户区的救援时间会出现延迟甚至失去应急救援服务。通过对河流洪涝情景下城市公共安全（110）应急响应能力的评估研究,可为城市洪涝灾害应急响应部门制定预防与应对措施提供理论和科学依据,具有重要的现实意义。

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.     

Metals and models: Diagenic modelling in freshwater lacustrine sediments

This review aims to distill and synthesize the existing information on the use of models to describe and predict the distribution and movement of metals in lacustrine sediments. As such it examines the causes of metal diagenesis, the origin and form of the equations that govern these phenomena, and the predictability or measurability of the parameters that appear in the models. The paper concludes by highlighting some seminal results from modelling studies, including the determination of the factors controlling the formation of surficial Mn-Fe-enriched zone or layers, the substantial contribution possible from metal reduction to organic matter regeneration, the calculation of mixing-corrected metal input histories to lakes, and the prediction of growth rates and morphologies for both deep-sea and lacustrine ferromanganese nodules.     

Guidelines to Authors

正1.Aims and scope Sciences in Cold and Arid Regions(SCAR)is a bimonthly journal that publishes in English the latest research achievements in processes and the patterns of the Earth surface system in cold and arid regions.Researches in cold regions emphasize particularly on the cold-region-characterized physical,chemical and biological processes and their interactions,and on the response of cryosphere to global change and human activities as well as their effects on environment and the acclimatizable strategies;focus on the objects of glacier,snow,river,lake,sea ice,permafrost and seasonal frozen ground,and periglacial geomorphology,etc.;and think much of cold regions
