中天山卡瓦布拉克地区中-基性岩脉的年代学及岩石成因

中天山卡瓦布拉克地区侵入岩类广泛发育,并多处被中-基性岩脉穿插。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年获得闪长岩和辉长岩脉年龄分别为296.1±2.5 Ma(MSWD=1.4),299.5±2 Ma(MSWD=1.07),均侵位于早二叠世。岩石学和岩石地球化学分析结果表明该区中-基性岩脉具有富集轻稀土元素(LREE)和大离子亲石元素(Rb,U,Th)、亏损高场强元素(Nb,Ta,Ti)的地球化学特征,SREE为69.19~234.62,LREE/HREE=3.97~11.18。闪长岩脉锆石(176Hf/177Hf)值为0.280 618~0.283 329,对应的εHf(t)值为-14.57^+25.06。研究数据表明,该区中-基性岩脉可能起源于亏损岩石圈地幔,原始岩浆在侵位过程中发生了分离结晶作用,同时还受到了地壳混染作用的影响。基于卡瓦布拉克地区中-基性岩脉的野外地质特征和地球化学分析结果,并结合区域地质资料,认为它们形成于南天山洋闭合之后的后碰撞伸展构造背景。

以湖北庹家湾剖面为研究对象,对其宏观组构、沉积学及理化性质(磁化率、粒度、色度、元素组成等)进行了测试,用OSL方法进行了测年断代。根据野外和室内实验数据,建立了汉江Ⅰ级阶地上黄土-古土壤的地层序列,并以OSL测年数据为依据进行了地层年代学研究,利用气候替代指标重建了汉江上游55 ka BP以来气候变化的轨迹。认为:汉江Ⅰ级阶地在55 ka BP前后形成,阶地形成后即刻开始接受连续的风尘堆积;其地层从下向上依次分为L1-L3(55.0~28.5 ka BP)→L1-S2(28.5~24.5 ka BP)→L1-L2(24.5~23.0 ka BP)→L1-S1(23.0~21.0 ka BP)→L1-L1(21.0~11.5 ka BP)→Lt(11.5~8.5 ka BP)→S0(8.5~3.0 ka BP)→L0(3.0~0 ka BP);马兰黄土中记录了44.5~41.0 ka BP、37.5~34.0 ka BP、28.5~24.5 ka BP、23.0~21.0 ka BP四个暖湿气候阶段,其中28.5~24.5 ka BP和23.0~21.0 ka BP比较暖湿,形成了古土壤层L1-S2和L1-S1;庹家湾剖面记录的气候事件具有区域性特征,可与深海同位素曲线MIS-3进行良好比较,反映汉江地区MIS-3的后期暖湿程度较高;全新世大暖期(8.5~3.0 ka BP)在汉江上游地区并非一直表现为暖湿的特征,在5~6 ka BP出现短暂的相对凉湿的气候阶段。     

苏北沿海三市三维地下水流数值模拟

20世纪80年代以来,苏北沿海三市（连云港、盐城和南通）地下水过量开采导致部分地区水位持续大幅下降,引发地面沉降、水质咸化等问题。本文基于研究区大量地质、水文地质资料,以及2005—2013年地下水开采和水位观测数据,经过模型识别、验证,建立了能刻画苏北沿海三市地下水流场演化的三维非均质各向异性地下水流数值模型,模拟了研究区2005—2013年开采量由约2.03亿m³逐渐减少到1.56亿m³条件下深部地下水系统流场（包括第Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ承压含水层）的动态演化过程。结果表明,各观测孔的水位实测值与模拟值吻合良好,水位及水均衡模拟结果显示各含水层水位下降得到有效控制,但是该区域地下水仍处于超采状态。为进一步控制水位下降,防治咸水扩散、地面沉降等地质环境灾害,模型预测并比较了现状开采和限制开采2种不同开采方案下2014—2020年苏北沿海三市深层地下水流场的变化趋势。预报结果显示,2种开采方案下,各含水层水位下降速率均减小,尤其是限制开采方案下,第Ⅱ、Ⅲ和Ⅳ承压含水层的区域水位平均下降速率依次为0.15、0.16和0.15 m/a,分别比模拟期减小了46.43%、65.21%和48.28%,在开采强度降至最低的条件下储存量变化速率仍为负值,说明需要进一步加强地下水限制开采的力度。

Object-Oriented Island Land Cover Change Detection by Iteratively Reweighted Multivariate Statistical Analysis

ABSTRACT

In studies of changes in island geographic information, a key topic is island land cover change detection using multitemporal remote sensing images; such information can provide good reference for island exploitation, marine resource conservation, marine economic development, and national defense building. This study proposes a fast and easy-to-implement algorithm of object-oriented change detection based on iteratively reweighted multivariate statistical analysis with high-resolution remote sensing images and vector data, improving effects of normal multivariate alternative detection by combining object-oriented technology with probability density function of chi-square distribution. This method builds vectors in feature space with spectral, texture, and spatial structure information of objects segmented based on boundaries and categories of features in vector data. By feature optimization and iterative extension to multivariate statistical analysis for change detection, change regions can be extracted. Experiments on Zhaoshu Island area show that the proposed method is highly effective and accurate in detection of change regions.     

Assessing groundwater vulnerability and its inconsistency with groundwater quality,based on a modified DRASTIC model: a case study in Chaoyang District of Beijing City

Depth to water, net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography, impact of the vadose zone media, and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer (DRASTIC) model based on a geographic information system (GIS) is the most widely adopted model for the evaluation of groundwater vulnerability. However, the model had its own disadvantages in various aspects. In this work, several methods and the technologies have been introduced to improve on the traditional model. The type of the aquifer was replaced by the thickness of the aquifer, and the index of topography was removed. The indexes of the exploitation of the groundwater and the type of land use that reflected the special vulnerability were added to the system. Furthermore, considering the wideness of the study area, the fixed weights in the DRASTIC model were not suitable. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method and an entropy weight (Ew) method were introduced to calculate the weights of parameters. Then, the Spearman Rho correlation coefficients between IVI and the Nemerow synthetical pollution index (NI) of the groundwater quality were significantly improved, after the four steps of modification. The level differences with little gaps between Nemerow comprehensive pollution indexes and groundwater vulnerability occupied the proportion of the area from 75.68 to 84.04%, and finally, a single-parameter sensitivity analysis for the two models was used to compute the effective weights of these parameters. By comparison, the DRMSICEL model seems to perform better than the DRASTIC model in the study area. And the results show discrepancies between the vulnerability indices and groundwater quality as indicated by existence of vulnerable areas with bad water quality and vice versa.     

A resilience framework for safety management of fossil fuel power plant

In the present study, cut slope stability assessment along ghat road section of Kolli hills was carried out by using various geotechnical parameters of rock and soil slope sections and structural kinematics of major discontinuities is presented. The rock slope (RS) stability assessment was carried out using Rock Mass Rating basic (RMR_basic) and Slope Mass Rating (SMR) classification systems. The type of failure and their Factor of Safety (FOS) for individual RS was calculated using Hoek and Bray method. In the case of soil slopes (SS), the FOS was calculated using Circular Failure Chart (CFC) and Limit Equilibrium (LE) methods. The input data for the slope stability analyses were collected through extensive field work followed by stereonet plotting and laboratory test. There are six rock slope sections, and five soil slope sections were taken into consideration for the cut slope stability analyses. The area depicts class II (RS-1, 2, & 6) and class III (RS-3, 4, & 5) of RMR classes. The SMR result depicts for RS-1, RS-2, and RS-6 are 64.40, 60.02, and 60.70, respectively, and falls in class II stable condition. The SMR values of RS-3 and RS-5 were 44.33 and 57, respectively, and come under the class III partially stable condition. The RS-4 with SMR value of 17.33 falls under the class I completely unstable condition. The FOS of planar failure case indicates that RS-3 (FOS = 0.22) is more unstable, while all other sections are having greater than 1 FOS. The calculated FOS values using CFC method reveals that the FOS is very close to 1 for all the SS sections that fall under completely saturated condition which indicates that these slope sections may fail during heavy rainfall. In LE method, the sections SS-3 and SS-4 are unsafe under partially and completely saturated (natural slope) condition. In average slope condition, all the SS sections are unsafe under partially or completely saturated conditions. The facets 2, 3, 4, and 5 required mitigation measures, to improve the stability of slopes. Site-specific mitigation measures were suggested for partially or completely unstable rock and soil cut slopes.

Fiber-optic monitoring of evaporation-induced axial strain of sandstone under ambient laboratory conditions

This paper presents the fiber-optic monitoring model and scheme for utilizing a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor array to measure relative humidity. The effect of evaporation on reservoir rock involves various physical and chemical reactions under ambient laboratory conditions, which will result in a significant influence on the mechanical properties, especially for the surface of rock blocks in the fields. In this experiment, it was of great importance to better understand the effects induced by deionized water (DIW) evaporation occurring on the surface of a DIW-saturated sandstone core in terms of the induced small strains. The primary objective of this paper is to identify the applicability and feasibility of using the fiber Bragg grating sensors to monitor small strains induced by natural evaporation. This work also brings novel insights into the capability of high-precision measurements to predict the deformation mechanism of outcropped rocks, which often are subjected to natural evaporation. In this work, two arrays of fiber Bragg grating sensors were employed in the real-time monitoring of strain changes along the axial surface of a cylindrical sandstone core and to record the potential implications of the wavelength shifts induced by the evaporation factor. The experimental results could provide novel insights into the influences of natural evaporation on a rock monitored by FBG sensing technology under ambient laboratory conditions.     

Evaluation of ecological effectiveness of protected areas in Northwest China

Protected areas (PAs) have experienced explosive growth in Northwest China over the last three decades, but their effectiveness in representing regional ecological system diversity has not attracted considerable attention. Low effectiveness would exacerbate the conservation-development conflicts, particularly those that arise as a result of the Great Western Development Strategy (GWDS). Thus, an assessment of the effectiveness of the PA network has become quite important. We proposed natural vegetation communities to represent regional ecological system diversities, and proposed Global 200 Priority Ecoregions, Important Bird Areas, and ecosystem function regions to represent important conservation areas. To determine their effectiveness, we studied the extent to which ecological system diversities and important conservation areas are represented by the existing 96 PAs. Our results indicated that the total coverage of vegetation communities in PAs in Northwest China is not sufficiently comprehensive. As the PA system has expanded, the growth in the total area of the PAs has been greater than that of their vegetation community richness. While most of the important conservation areas are covered by PAs, some regions have not yet reached the 10% threshold; further, PAs are distributed unevenly and conservation gaps remain in the region. Therefore, these regions should receive more attention when planning new PAs. It is vital that more biodiversity datasets and assessment of ecosystem function regions are integrated in order to provide a basis for the government to formulate appropriate protection and development strategies.
