Is there any seasonal variation in marine nematodes within the sediments of the intertidal zone?

The sediment parameters and nematode assemblages in the intertidal zone of the Hichirippu shallow lagoon, Hokkaido, Japan, were investigated. The objectives of this study were to observe the seasonal variation in the nematodes in the sediment, and to investigate the relationships between the nematodes and environmental factors. Samples were collected bi-monthly from five stations on the tidal flat from April 2003 to February 2004. It was found that the sediment parameters (Chl a concentration, AVS, TOC and TN contents) varied throughout the 10-month study. Fifty-four species of nematodes were found in the study area. The density and biomass of the nematodes varied in accordance with the sediment temperature during the sampling period. In this study, there was a seasonal variation in the nematode assemblage found in the intertidal zone of this shallow lagoon. The important factors affecting this variation were sediment temperature, and food competition among the nematodes themselves. The seasonal variation of the nematode also showed a relationship with the Chl a concentration in the sediment during the sampling period.     

A risk assessment model for produced water discharge from offshore petroleum platforms-development and validation

Produced water discharge accounts for the greater portion of wastes arising from offshore oil and gas production operations. Development and expansion of Canada’s offshore oil and gas reserves has led to concerns over the potential long-term impacts of produced water discharges to the ocean. To examine this emerging environmental issue at a regional scale, an integrated risk assessment approach was developed in this study based on the princeton ocean model (POM), a random walk (RW) and Monte Carlo simulation. The use of water quality standards arrayed in a Monte Carlo design in the developed approach has served to reflect uncertainties and quantify environmental risks associated with produced water discharge. The model was validated against field data from a platform operating off Canada’s east coast, demonstrating its usefulness in supporting effective management of future produced water discharge.     

用1Hz GPS观测数据推导中强震震源过程的能力:2008年日本岩手—宫城内陆地震例子

通过反演研究2008年日本岩手—宫城内陆地震（M～6.9）,说明了用1Hz全球定位系统（GPS）观测数据推导中强震（M6级）震源过程的能力。比较了此次地震采样率为1Hz的GPS观测波形,发现与强震仪记录波形有很好的一致性。由于震源区及其周围有足够多的GPS台站很好地记录到了地面运动,因而使我们仅仅采用1Hz的GPS观测数据就可进行波形反演。反演的结果与大地测量和强震仪数据联合反演的结果相当一致,如地震矩（Mw～6.9）、累积滑动量分布和破裂传播等。这种一致性证明,采样率为1Hz的GPS观测数据不仅能用来推导M6级中强震破裂过程的动态特征,而且能用来推导其持久（或静态）的滑动。     

THREE-DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE MESOSCALE WIND STRUCTURE OVER SHANDONG PENINSULA

General features of 3-dimensional mesoscale wind and temperature structure over ShandongPeninsula are described in this paper.Results are achieved by numerical simulation with the 3-dimensional non-hydrostatic mesoscale model METRAS.For the onset and cessation time of sea-land breezes,the simulation results agree well with the statistical analyses of observational dataavailable for the studied area.One interesting result is the 3 hour response time of wind field to thethermal change.Further statistic analysis based on the observational data is needed to make sure ofthis correlation.Important effects of coastal mountains on the wind structure are also exposed indetail by the model.Convergence and divergence centers resulting from the conjunction of sea-landbreezes and complex terrain are clearly shown,which are not noticed before by conventionalsynoptic observation and theoretical analysis.

地震诱发滑坡的场点预测

因地震引起的滑坡可划分为５种类型：陡坡型、中间层型、液化型、地下水型和人工坡型。其中陡坡型最为常见,根据岩石硬度（用内摩擦角和粘度表示）具危害性,这种类型滑坡的直接起因是由于白色凝灰石或浮石层失狠所造成的。液化型和地下水型滑坡的机制还不很清楚,发展其预测技术仍然是未来的研究课题。就城市防灾而言,人工坡型滑坡是一个主要的问题,然而,有关这方面的研究进展却很缓慢。
