Shallow landslide hazard assessment using a physically based model and digital elevation data

 A model for the analysis of topographic influence on shallow landslide initiation is applied to an experimental mountain basin where high-resolution digital elevation data are available: the Cordon catchment (5 km²) located in northern Italy. The model delineates those areas most prone to shallow landsliding due to surface topographic effects on hydrologic response. The model is composed of two parts: a steady-state model for shallow sub-surface runoff and an infinite-slope Coulomb failure model which assumes that the soil is cohesionless at failure. An inventory of landslide scars is used to document sites of instability and to provide a test of model performance by comparing observed landslide locations with model predictions. The model reproduces the observed distribution of landslide locations in a consistent way, although spatial variations in soil strength and transmissivity, which are not accounted for in the model, influence specific distribution of landslide areas within regions of similar topographic control.

用于油藏描述的三维地质体剖分及体积计算方法

针对计算机模拟中的关键问题，即三维地质体的剖分和体积计算方法进行了较深入的讨论。在将地质体剖分为内部单元和边缘单元之后，又将内部单元细分为中间的长方柱体和两端的不规则多面体。通过分析，给出了计算内部单元和边缘单元不规则多面体的体积计算公式，并通过对两种理论模型的剖分和计算结果，说明了方法的正确性和提高精度的有效性     

The petrography,structure and mechanical behaviour of coals

Summary The objective of this study is to determine the parameters which influence coal's mechanical behaviour. The two coals examined (HBL, Simon, France and Barro Banco, Brazil) structurally originated from different deposits. The differences are readily explained by the contrasting composition of vitrain, clarain, durain and fusain. Their mechanical behaviour is linked to their petrographical composition. The Lorrainain coal behavioural pattern was evaluated. It is elastobrittle or elastoplastic with progressive failure. Brazilian coal behaves according to a pattern of elastoplastic with progressive failure or perfect elastoplastic.     

The kerogen type, depositional environment and maturity, of the Irati Shale, Upper Permian of Paraná Basin, Southern Brazil

Two samples from the upper and lower horizons of the Irati oil shale of the Paraná Basin, Brazil were sampled in a single borehole, and analysed using organic petrography and geochemistry. The results are interpreted in terms of the kerogen type, maturity and depositional environment of the two horizons.Organic petrography shows the oil-shales to be composed of a mineral groundmass, mainly clay minerals, carbonate and pyrite, associated, and sometimes impregnated, with fluorescing organic material and disseminated phytoclasts. Humic material is fairly rare and mostly present as very small particles. The liptinitic particles are mostly alginite (A and B), sporinite and more rarely resinite. Reflectance measurements (upper seam = 0.34% R₀; lower seam = 0.40% R₀) indicate an equivalent rank of lignite/sub-bituminous coal (ASTM), i.e. immature with respect to oil and gas generation. Different organic geochemical methods (Rock-Eval pyrolysis, solvent extraction, GC and GC-MS) demonstrate both samples to be immature, rich oil-shales (100–114 kg/ton) containing Type I kerogen, of a dominantly bacterially-degraded algal origin deposited in a lacustrine environment. The presence of Botryococcus suggests deposition under fresh/brackish water conditions.A tentative interpretation of the extract and vitrinite reflectance data suggests a maximum paleo-burial of between 1.3 and 2.8 km for the analysed section of the Irati Formation.     

青海东部一次强暴雪天气的Q矢量诊断分析

2002年10月21～22日青海高原东部地区发生近10年以来秋季最强的一次暴雪天气过程。利用Q矢量方法以及GMS-5红外云图、水汽云图和常规观测等资料，对强暴雪天气进行了天气动力学诊断分析。结果表明：Q矢量湿锋生函数、Q矢量散度场和水汽通量散度场与青海高原暴雪区有较好的对应关系，对青海高原的降雪预报有指示作用。     

地球的起源与演化研究进展

地球科学在研究远古地球的形成与演化方面积累了越来越多的证据 ,人类对于太空的观测程度也不断提高 ,加深了对类地行星的认识 ,取得了重要的成果。太阳系中的火星和金星可能存在已经绝灭了的生命。慧星和小行星对地球的多次撞击有能力导致严重的环境效应及生命大灭绝。行星的演化可能有两种模式 :冷的星团加热及热的星云冷却。火星上存在与地球壳体非常相似的沉积岩 ,说明有流动水存在的可能。较高地热的太古代地壳热流输出被认为是认识地壳构造特性的关键。晚太古代会聚与离散大陆边缘的对比研究表明太古代板块运动与年轻的板块构造旋回在样式及幕次方面都没有根本的区别。元古代大陆的增生是由于元古代源于地幔的板块构造及产生于地幔的热柱构造导致新生成分的加入而造成的。裂谷、盆地、推覆及伸展、火山侵入作用是显生宙大陆增生的主要因素。     

相山铀矿田流纹英安斑岩的厘定及与铀矿化的关系

本从地质产状、岩石学和同位素年龄等特征出发，对相山铀矿田的两套英安岩进行了厘定，指出流纹英安岩为溢出相岩石，而流纹英安斑岩为浅成侵入相岩石，两系不同时期形成的产物。在时间序列上，流纹英安斑岩形成于淬斑熔岩和花岗斑岩之后，与火山隐爆或气爆作用有关，是相山矿田铀矿化的有利主岩之一。

南极地区数百年来气候变化的冰芯记录对比研究

随着国际横穿南极科学考察计划的实施, 近年来开展了沿中山站-Dome A考察路线的冰芯研究, 获得了伊丽莎白公主地250 a来气候环境变化的高分辨率记录. 通过与Lambert冰川流域西侧有关研究结果的对比, 揭示了该冰川谷地为东南极洲重要气候分界线的特征. 综合南极地区其它地点冰芯记录和冰盖变化研究结果, 发现以小冰期为代表的寒冷期在东南极洲较为明显, 在西南极洲则不明显, 甚或恰好相反, 表现为温暖阶段. 就东南极洲来说, 也存在明显的区域差异: 以Lambert冰川谷地为界, 东部地区, 如Wilkes Land (Law Dome), Victoria Land北部(Hercules Neve)等地, 小冰期冷期比较突出;西部地区, 如Dronning Maud Land和Mizuho高原, 情况不是很明确. Lambert冰川流域是非常特殊的地方, 虽然小冰期冷期也存在, 但1850年前后的显著高温和近100多年来的降温与南极洲其它地方都不一样, 而与南极半岛北侧一冰芯所给出的400 a温度变化记录极为相似, 我们尚不能解释为何如此遥远的两个地点具有很好的一致性而与其它地方则不一致.
