Scale Effects on Chlorophyll-A Concentration Retrieved: Assessment and Validation Using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite

To understand the scale effects on chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration retrieved from satellite images, the two-band algorithm (TA) and three-band algorithm (TBA) were constructed for estimating chl-a from satellite images. Two synchronous images of Advanced Wide-Field Sensor (AWiFS) and Linear Imaging Self-Scanner (LISS) of Indian remote sensing satellite were used to assess and validate the scale errors of these two algorithms. They were collected at local time 02:55:46:471 and 02:58:25:053 on October 8, 2005 in Yellow River Estuary, and their spatial resolutions are 24 m and 56 m, respectively. From the results of this study, it was found that: (1) the relative scale error (RSE) of TA and TBA, caused by scale changing from LISS to AWiFS, varied from 0% to 100%; (2) the RSE was correlated with the spatial non-homogeneous degree of chl-a distribution; and (3) using TBA to estimate chl-a concentration in Yellow River Estuary decreased 2.55% of model uncertainty, but increased 4.97% of scale errors, in comparison with TA. Additionally, the study indicated that the performance of algorithms for chl-a estimation was greatly affected by the scale error. If the scale effects of chl-a retrieval algorithm were taken into consideration, TA had a superior performance to the TBA in this study.     

青藏高原形变对中国西部边界的影响

基于青藏高原GPS形变1991-1999年间的测量成果,通过对中尼(中国与尼泊尔)、中印(中国与印度)边界及中不(中国与不丹)边界附近GPS测站地壳水平运动速率的统计分析,运用平均速度法估算了近10a西部边境地区的形变面积。初步计算结果表明,青藏高原形变对我国西部边界存在影响,在1991-1999年之间西部边界的不均匀形变导致国土面积缩小0.37km2。     

地图投影变换浅析

通过研究得出,将地球上各种地理事物与现象表示到平面上,需要采取一系列数学变换,才能使地面上的点与平面上的相应点建立起对应关系,从而才有可能反映出它们的位置、距离、方向、面积、形状及数量大小关系。地图之所以能在平面上反映出球面上事物与现象的空间准确位置和相互关系,就是由于它经过了地图投影的转换。通过研究地图投影变换问题,可以为基于离散网格的数据管理和建模应用提供很好的投影变换基础。

新媒介环境下政府信息公开研究

媒介是传递信息的载体,传统意义上是指报刊、广播、电视等媒介,随着传播新技术的发展,出现了以互联网络、手机为代表的新媒介。与传统媒介相比,新媒介有其不同的涵义和特点,对政府信息公开工作产生着重要影响。本文从新媒介的概念和特点出发,分析了新媒介对政府信息公开的影响,阐述了新媒介环境下如何做好政府信息公开工作,最后提出在新媒介环境下对国土资源政府信息公开的几点思考和建议。     

Revealing the spatiotemporal characteristics of the general public's panic levels during the pandemic crisis in China

The existing crisis management research mostly reveals the patterns of the public's panic levels from the perspectives of public management, sociology, and psychology, only a few studies have revealed the spatiotemporal characteristics. Therefore, this study investigates the spatial distribution and temporal patterns and influencing factors on the general public's panic levels using the Baidu Index data from a geographic perspective. The results show that: (1) The public's panic levels were significantly correlated with the spatial distance between the epicenter and the region of investigation, and with the number of confirmed cases in different regions when the pandemic began to spread. (2) Based on the spatial distance between the epicenter and the region, the public's panic levels in different regions could be divided into three segments: core segment (0–500 km), buffer segment (500–1300 km), and peripheral segment (>1300 km). The panic levels of different people in the three segments were consistent with the Psychological Typhoon Eye Effect and the Ripple Effect can be detected in the buffer segment. (3) The public's panic levels were strongly correlated with whether the spread of the infectious disease crisis occurred and how long it lasted. It is suggested that crisis information management in the future needs to pay more attention to the spatial division of control measures. The type of crisis information released to the general public should depend on the spatial relationship associated with the place where the crisis breaks out.     

GIS-enabled historiography to determine travel routes during the Western Han period via agent-based models and least-cost path analysis

GIS-enabled historiography allows us to shed light on missing or poorly understood aspects of historical events. Here, we use agent-based models (ABMs), least cost path analysis (LCPA), and space–time paths to recreate and evaluate possible modes and routes of travel undertaken by Shi Rao, a Western Han official. A diary was found in Shi Rao's tomb that includes information about his travels over 1 year (11 BCE), including start and end times of his journeys. But it leaves out details regarding modes of transport or exact routes. Using Tan Qixiang's historical atlas, we digitized river networks and utilized modern topographic data to digitally recreate the landscape as it was during Shi Rao's travels. This was then used to evaluate possible journeys via rivers (using ABMs) and roads (using LCPA), and compared to historical speed of boats, carts and horses, with findings indicating that horseback may have been the viable option.     

Multi‐Scale Qualitative Location: A Topology‐Based Model

Qualitative locations describe spatial objects by relating the spatial objects to a frame of reference (e.g. a regional partition in this study) with qualitative relations. Existing models only formalize spatial objects, frames of reference, and their relations at one scale, thus limiting their applicability in representing location changes of spatial objects across scales. A topology‐based, multi‐scale qualitative location model is proposed to represent the associations of multiple representations of the same objects with respect to the frames of reference at different levels. Multi‐scale regional partitions are first presented to be the frames of reference at multiple levels of scale. Multi‐scale locations are then formalized to relate multiple representations of the same objects to the multiple frames of reference by topological relations. Since spatial objects, frames of reference, and topological relations in qualitative locations are scale dependent, scale transformation approaches are presented to derive possible coarse locations from detailed locations by incorporating polygon merging, polygon‐to‐line and polygon‐to‐point operators.
