Object- and pixel-based classifications of macroalgae farming area with high spatial resolution imagery

Macroalgae plays an important role in coastal ecosystems. The accurate delineation of macroalgae areas is important for environmental management. This study compared the pixel- and object-based methods using Gaofen satellite no. 2 image to explore an efficient classification approach. Expert system rules and nearest neighbour classifier were adopted for object-based classification, whereas maximum likelihood classifier was implemented in the pixel-based approach. Normalized difference vegetation index, normalized difference water index, mean value of the blue band and geometric characteristics were selected as features to distinguish macroalgae farms by considering the spectral and spatial characteristics. Results show that the object-based method achieved a higher overall accuracy and kappa coefficient than the pixel-based method. Moreover, the object-based approach displayed superiority in identifying Porphyra class. These findings suggest that the object-based method can delineate macroalgae farming areas efficiently and be applied in the future to monitor the macroalgae farms with high spatial resolution imagery.     

玄武岩柱状节理六边形结构形成机制探讨

玄武岩柱状节理往往呈现完美的六边形石柱,这种现象引起了人们的广泛关注和好奇,但是对于其形成机理尚无合理的解释。本文通过对冷却过程中的玄武岩进行受力分析,提出当岩石（浆）冷凝收缩的凝聚力达到其抗张强度时,岩石（浆）内部发生潜在破裂和微形变;当潜在破裂面形成后,因岩石的泊松效应,微小潜在破裂面处的应力状态发生重整,形成新的潜在破裂面;当新的潜在破裂面处的剪应力等于岩石抗张强度时,岩石（浆）发生剪切破裂,形成如今所见的柱状节理。根据前人相关岩石实验数据,推算得到玄武岩相应温度下的内摩擦角、黏聚力、抗张强度和泊松比,采用应力莫尔圆方法进行数值计算,获得玄武岩在冷却到800 ℃左右时发生破裂,六棱柱形柱状节理开始形成,内角约119.1°。进一步分析认为,岩石的黏聚力、石英含量等因素可能控制着柱状节理的发育和形状。     

论中国国家公园地质考察与评价——以浙江丽水百山祖国家公园为例

鉴于保护地调查评价历史与目标,国家公园地质考察评价基准是地质学关于地球的“时间、空间、演化”知识的发现路径,既识别国家公园候选地的国家符合性地质事件,又识别国家公园自然性、独特性、优美性、多样性、整体性的地质机制,提供国家公园最重要的自然生态系统与自然景观保育管理的地质学支撑。浙江丽水百山祖国家公园符合性的地质事件是公园发现的4.0~4.2 Ga冥古宙陆核物质的锆石晶体、中生代岛弧陆盆火山酸性火山岩系列和从流纹岩山岭到花岗岩—变质岩谷底的“峰—岭—丘—谷（盆）”的亚热带滨海山地地貌结构,地貌结构发育演化是百山祖公园最重要的自然生态系统、区域性流域水源地、独特山水景观的形成基础。保护百祖山公园地貌结构和过程的完整性与真实性是确保其重要自然生态系统自然演化和生态服务产品持续供给的基础。

基于ASTER与Sentinel-2A融合数据的云南普朗铜矿化蚀变信息提取

云南普朗铜矿区是我国提高战略性金属矿产铜矿资源的主要潜力地段,该矿区位于多云多雨山地高原区,采用传统地面调查方法开展找矿勘查工作受限较大,而遥感技术可在其中发挥重要作用。鉴于此,本研究选取ASTER和Sentinel-2A多光谱遥感数据,在光谱协同统一两种数据源的地表反射率基础上,采用高通滤波(High-Pass Filtering,HPF)的融合方法兼顾两种数据在短波红外波段和可见光近红外波段的优势,获取了具有高空间分辨率和高光谱保真度的ASTER-Sentinel-2A融合数据集;进而利用"比值+主成分分析法"与"主成分分析+能谱-面积法",开展了普朗铜矿区矿化遥感蚀变信息识别,并通过深入分析及野外验证,提出了对普朗铜矿蚀变信息分布特征及找矿潜力地带的新认识:(1)在原蚀变填图工作中判定为青磐岩化带的东部区域,重新进行了蚀变带的划分;(2)东部区域中新划分的钾化硅化带和绢英岩化带,具有较大找矿潜力。本研究可为普朗铜矿找矿勘查提供参考。     

滇西盈江地区新泡山离子吸附型稀土矿床成矿条件及找矿前景

滇西盈江地区是近年来离子吸附型稀土矿床找矿突破较大的地区,典型代表为腾冲岩浆弧内新发现的新泡山稀土矿床,为一中型离子吸附型稀土矿床,是滇西高海拔地区新发现的典型矿床。新泡山稀土矿床的发现对今后高海拔地区的找矿工作具有重要的示范意义。通过对新泡山稀土矿床的地质特征、风化壳结构特征、矿体垂向变化特征进行研究,认为新泡山稀土矿床类型为富钕轻稀土离子吸附型稀土矿床,并伴生有重稀土钇。滇西盈江地区与花岗岩有关的离子吸附型稀土矿主要受控于母岩稀土元素丰度、气候以及地形地貌。"沟-谷-盆"地貌两侧及周缘低缓山丘和平缓山坡、山脊是有利的成矿部位。结合区域找矿成果,认为研究区稀土矿找矿潜力较大,可达超大型远景规模,在后续的找矿工作中应加强对重稀土元素钇的评价。

Identifying urban–rural differences in social vulnerability to natural hazards: a case study of China

Identifying and analyzing the urban–rural differences of social vulnerability to natural hazards is imperative to ensure that urbanization develops in a way that lessens the impacts of disasters and generate building resilient livelihoods in China. Using data from the 2000 and 2010 population censuses, this study conducted an assessment of the social vulnerability index (SVI) by applying the projection pursuit cluster model. The temporal and spatial changes of social vulnerability in urban and rural areas were then examined during China’s rapid urbanization period. An index of urban–rural differences in social vulnerability (SVI_D) was derived, and the global and local Moran’s I of the SVI_D were calculated to assess the spatial variation and association between the urban and rural SVI. In order to fully determine the impacts of urbanization in relation to social vulnerability, a spatial autoregressive model and Bivariate Moran’s I between urbanization and SVI were both calculated. The urban and rural SVI both displayed a steadily decreasing trend from 2000 to 2010, although the urban SVI was always larger than the rural SVI in the same year. In 17.5% of the prefectures, the rural SVI was larger than the urban SVI in 2000, but was smaller than the urban SVI in 2010. About 12.6% of the urban areas in the prefectures became less vulnerable than rural areas over the study period, while in more than 51.73% of the prefectures the urban–rural SVI gap decreased over the same period. The SVI_D values in all prefectures had a significantly positive spatial autocorrelation and spatial clusters were apparent. Over time, social vulnerability to natural hazards at the prefecture-level displayed a gathering–scattering pattern across China. Though a regional variation of social vulnerability developed during China’s rapid urbanization, the overall trend was for a steady reduction in social vulnerability in both urban and rural areas.
