近年我国区域水文研究的若干进展

我国区域水文学的研究是在解放后其正发展起来的。尽管迄今人们对区域水文学仍有不同的认识,例如区域水文学是否可以与水文地理学等同,或是区域水文学是否应隶属于区域地理学等等,但是作为水文学的分支学科是无疑的。区域水文学从整体的观点来研究区域水文情势。区城可以是功能区,如城市、出口加工中心区等,或为自然景观区,如干旱区、喀斯特区等,也可以是行政区。目前,许多水文水利工作者已在致力于区域水文学的研究。     

南极威尔克斯地SGR钻孔处雪冰转化过程中的密度变化特征

本文着重描述了SGR钻孔处冰盖上的积雪在密实化过程中的特征变化,并对该过程进行了分段的和全面的回归分析.结果表明,冰盖密度随深度增大,但增长幅度随深度减小.作者提出密度变化减小度的概念.计算得出的所研究冰芯钻取点的密度变化减小度为-0.15kg/m~3·m~2,粒雪成冰前的密实速率平均值为4.08kg/m~3·a.本文得到的冰盖密度变化“临界点”与以往报道的有所不同.分析这一现象时,作者强调当积雪还在活动层时冰盖温度的影响,并以此解释密度剖面的异常变化以及离差的回升.特别指出,积雪的密度变化具有气候学意义,它在一定程度上能够反映出积雪形成及变化过程中气候变化的某些信息.本文由密度变化确定的钻孔点雪冰转化深度为50米.     

粘滑和稳滑实验条件下石英岩的某些显微形貌特征及其地震地质意义

本文利用石英岩在围压1—5千巴,轴向应变率4.4×10~(-5)/秒的条件下,产生粘滑和稳滑运动,应用扫描电镜(SEM)观察研究试样中破裂剪切滑动面的形貌特征。指出,粘滑运动具有快速剪切破裂滑动和撞击的形貌特征,稳滑运动则表现出缓慢揉裂和搓剪的形貌特征。这些特征与活断层产物中的某些形貌特征可对比。这对判别断层粘滑或稳滑活动形式,具有一定的实践意义     

关于南黄海地震区(带)的厘定及其有关的问题

笔者通过对南黄海的地震活动特征分析研究,认为该区的地震活动水平远高于扬州-铜陵地震带,应作为一独立的地震区(带)存在,以利于对该海域的地震研究和监测;并对其地震活动有关的若干问题提出讨论     

滇西北地区的现代构造应力场

通过区内活断层性质、盆地生成和水系分布极向等的研究,进一步从地质上论证了该区北北西—近南北向的现代构造应力场。认为这一局部应力场是川滇菱块作南向滑移引起的地壳上部的构造变形事件。晚新生代以来的断陷盆地是这一滑移过程造成的地壳表层的拉分盆地。在地壳的下部有可能受到大区域板块北(偏东)向推挤作用的影响。中小地震和强震在深度分布、破裂特征及应力方向上的区别有可能是这种不同深度层次上应力差异作用的某些信息     

东北地区重力均衡异常特征的初步研究

本文利用地面实测重力资料和地形高程资料,采用普拉特-海福特(Pratt-ttayford)重力均衡理论模型,取1°×1°方格网,通过使用现成改正表格查取改正值与个别计算点用理论公式计算作校核的方法,计算了我国东北地区75个计算点的均衡重力异常值;并对局部第四系覆盖较厚地区作了第四系密度改正;在此基础上,构制了我国东北N39°—49°,E121°—131°大部分地区的均衡重力异常图;结合区域布格重力异常和区域空间重力异常特征以及莫霍界面的起伏特点作了对比分析和讨论     

我国滇西北地震活动区的活动构造与应力状态

本文根据野外调查和原地应力测量资料,讨论了滇西北地震活动区的活动构造型式和现今应力状态。资料表明,本区是由红河和中甸两条右旋走滑断裂所形成的拉分构造,其应力状态也与外区不同。地震在空间上的分布和在时间上的活动规律受这一构造型式及其应力状态的控制     

Variations in the HCN/HNC abundance ratio in the Orion molecular cloud

We have used observations of the rare isotopes of HCN and HNC to determine the relative abundance of these two chemical isomers along the central ridge of the Orion molecular cloud. The abundance ratio [HCN]/[HNC] decreases by more than an order of magnitude from the relatively warm plateau and hot core sources toward the KL nebula to the colder, more quiescent clouds to the north and south. Even in the cooler regions, however, the ratio is an order of magnitude larger than that found in previous investigations of cold dark clouds. We determine the kinetic temperature in the regions we have studied from new observations of methylacetylene (CH3CCH), together with other recent estimates of the gas temperature near KL. The results suggest that the warmer portions of the cloud are dominated by different chemical pathways than those in the general interstellar cloud material.     

Changing population concentration in India: a macro-regional scenario

There are great spatial variations in the distribution of the fast growing populations of India. About 70% of the 1981 population is concentrated in only 40% of the geographical area. Such a pattern of population concentration, with its spatio-temporal dimension, can be understood better if examined at the macro-regional level considering the physico-climatic and socio-economic diversity of the country. This is done by way of analyzing district level data for India as a whole and also for its various macro-regions. The study reveals that the Great Plains and Coastal Plains and Islands have a homogenous distribution and a higher population increase. The Deccan Plateau shows the most homogenous dispersion of population. The population is declining in the Northern Mountains and the Great Plains but accentuating in the Coastal Plains and Islands and the Deccan Plateau. The north and south of India are showing opposite trends in population concentration.
