南黄海中部海底沉积物声阻抗特性

基于在南黄海中部海域获得的大量海底沉积物样品及其测试数据,分析讨论了该区域海底浅表层沉积物声阻抗特性及其与沉积物物理力学性质参数的相关关系。研究表明:研究区浅表层沉积物声阻抗呈现出分区域分布的特征,可分为西南部声阻抗高值区、东北部声阻抗低值区以及北西-东南向声阻抗梯度带3个区域。通过回归分析,建立了声阻抗与沉积物物理力学参数的经验回归方程。结果表明:声阻抗与密度、含水率、孔隙比、孔隙度、液限、塑限、塑性指数、压缩系数等参数的相关性较好,判定系数R²一般大于0.8,而与砂粒含量、黏粒含量、中值粒径、抗剪强度等参数的相关性相对较差,判定系数R²一般小于0.7。将声阻抗与物理力学性质的相关性和声速与物理力学性质的相关性进行了对比,结果表明,声阻抗与上述参数的判定系数R²均大于声速与上述参数的判定系数,从而表明声阻抗是一个能够更好地反映声学特性与物理力学性质关系的沉积物声学特性参数。

Empirical Formula of Shear Strength of Rock Fractures Based on 3D Morphology Parameters

The prime objective of this work is to provide a reference to predict the peak shear strength of rock fractures. The paper studied some shear properties of rock fractures and proposed an empirical formula for the peak shear strength of rock fractures based on 3D morphology parameters. The rock fractures were induced in cylindrical sandstone and marble specimens by means of indirect tension. A rock direct shear apparatus (RDS-200) was adopted to conduct direct shear tests on five groups of rock fractures under different levels of normal load. Before the direct shear test, 3D morphology parameters of rock fracture surfaces were obtained using a 3D optical scanner. By analyses of direct shear test data, the relationships between peak shear strength, peak shear displacement, peak dilatancy angle, residual friction coefficient and peak normal stress were found. According to the evolution trends of peak shear strength and peak dilatancy angle along with the normal stress, an empirical formula was proposed to predict the peak shear strength of rock fractures in both sliding and cutting failure modes considering the 3D morphology parameters of rock fracture surfaces. The empirical formula could be commonly used for different types (sandstone and marble) and grain sizes (powder-grained, fine-grained, medium-grained and coarse-grained) of rock fractures.

Wetlands of Northeast Asia and High Asia: an overview

This review reports background information on wetlands in the Northeast Asia and High Asia areas, including wetland coverage and type, significance for local populations, and threats to their vitality and protection, with particular focus on the relationship of how global change influenced wetlands. Natural wetlands in these areas have been greatly depleted and degraded, largely due to global climate change, drainage and conversion to agriculture and silviculture, hydrologic alterations, exotics invasions, and misguided management policies. Global warming has caused wetland and ice-sheet loss in High Asia and permafrost thawing in tundra wetlands in Northeast Asia, and hence induced enormous reductions in water-storage sources in High Asia and carbon loss in Northeast Asia. This, in the long term, will exacerbate chronic water shortage and positively feed back global warming. Recently, better understanding of the vital role of healthy wetland ecosystems to Asia’s sustainable economic development has led to major efforts in wetland conservation and restoration. Nonetheless, collaborative efforts to restore and protect the wetlands must involve not only the countries of Northeast and High Asia but also international agencies. Research has been productive but the results should be more effectively integrated with policy-making and wetland restoration practices under future climatic scenarios.

Integrated geophysics and soil gas profiles as a tool to characterize active faults: the Amer fault example (Pyrenees, NE Spain)

The combined use of geophysical and soil gas composition exploration methods allows to rapidly obtain at relative low cost information that might be related to seismic activity conditions. In this study, we carried out geochemical soil gas sampling (²²²Rn, ²²⁰Rn and CO₂), electrical resistivity tomography and seismic refraction profiles in two selected zones near the town of Amer in the Spanish Pyrenees, where the presence of recent fractures is evident in the field. Data analysis clearly reveals anomalous values for each gas at specific positions along the electrical imaging transects. Geomorphologic and hydrogeologic data and the integration of geophysical data and soil gas measurements indicate that: (1) endogene gases radon (²²²Rn) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) are released from the meta-sedimentary basement rocks across the main fractured zones with higher permeability values, while lower Cenozoic detrital sedimentary formations act as an impervious boundary; (2) sites with highest radon concentrations (52?kBq?m^?3) coincide with the zones in the Amer fault showing more recent geomorphic evidence of activity, and more specifically with those areas covered by thinner surficial formations; (3) the lowest ²²²Rn values (0.2?C0.4?kBq?m^?3) were recorded just on the master active fault plane. This pattern could be explained by a dilution effect resulting from high rates of soil CO₂ efflux (267?g?m^?2?day^?1); (4) soil thoron (²²⁰Rn) activity is maximum (143?kBq?m^?3) in areas with high surficial fracturing; (5) groundwater pumping may cause important distortions in the natural flow dynamics and in the measured concentrations of gases. The agreement between the different data (geochemical, geophysical, and hydrogeological) and field observations (geology and geomorphology) leads us to propose a preliminary tectonic-gravitational model for the study area.
