Preliminary mapping of high-resolution rural population distribution based on imagery from Google Earth: A case study in the Lake Tai basin, eastern China

There is a large rural population in China. Throughout the country, sewage from rural households is mostly discharged with minimal treatment. Knowledge of rural population distribution is essential to study the rural households’ impacts on their surrounding environment. However, high-resolution spatial datasets on rural population distribution are rarely available in China. This study explores the feasibility of using the image from Google Earth to derive a high-resolution map on rural population distribution for a town in the Lake Tai basin of eastern China. Study results show that texture analysis in conjunction with other processing procedures can extract man-made building features from the image reasonably, which can then serve as the basis for the preliminary mapping of rural population distribution in the study region. This may prove to be a promising alternative for deriving spatial datasets on rural population distribution in many parts of the world.     

Patterns of Cenozoic sediment flux from western Scandinavia

The significance of variations in the sediment flux from western Scandinavia during the Cenozoic has been a matter of debate for decades. Here we compile the sediment flux using seismic data, boreholes and results from other publications and discuss the relative importance of causal agents such as tectonism, climate and climate change. Western Scandinavia, the northern British Isles and the Faeroe‐Shetland Platform were significant sediment sources during the Paleocene, which is well founded in tectonic causes related to the opening of the North Atlantic. From the Eocene and onward, variations in the sediment flux from western Scandinavia correlate better with climate and climate change. During the Eocene, sediment production was low. From the late Eocene onward, increased seasonality may have contributed to stimulating the sediment flux. Significant climatic cooling episodes correlate with Oligocene deposits in the North Sea, the post‐mid‐Miocene Molo and Kai Formations of the Norwegian Shelf, the southern North Sea delta system and large volumes of the Late Pliocene‐Holocene Naust Formation. The sediment flux from Scandinavia during the Cenozoic is in general agreement with the detrital flux to the world's oceans. Furthermore, the large variations in the size of sediment catchment areas as well as the possibility of submarine and glacial erosion must be incorporated to understand regional variations in climate driven sediment flux.     

飞机人工增雨作业效果分析

采用2009年12月～2010年1月广西飞机人工增雨作业数据,结合作业期间的相关气象资料,分析飞机人工增雨作业效果。结果表明,在影响广西的天气系统总体偏弱的情况下,实施飞机人工增雨作业后,雷达回波强度出现明显增强,降雨明显增加,降雨实况均比常年同期偏多,偏多程度在1成～2倍以上。

Nonlinear Stability of the Lagrangian Libration Points in the Chermnykh Problem

In this paper we consider the problem of motion of an infinitesimal point mass in the gravity field of an uniformly rotating dumb-bell. The aim of our study is to investigate Liapunov stability of Lagrangian libration points of this problem. We analyze the stability of libration points in the whole range of parameters ω, μ of the problem. In particular, we consider all resonance cases when the order of resonance is not greater than five. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

北喜马拉雅地区下白垩统海底扇沉积环境

北喜马拉雅地区早白垩世沉积以碎屑岩为主，海底扇沉积十分发育。根据沉积岩的矿物成分、结构、构造和产状特征，可将这些海底扇分为6个亚相。根据亚相在空间的排列组合所指示的沉积环境，海底扇的发展过程可划分为萌芽、青春、成熟和消亡四个阶段。在早白垩世早、中期海底扇处于萌芽阶段和青春阶段，沉积岩的砂/?泥比值高，砂岩的矿物成分和结构多样，反映出海岸平原和大陆架较窄，海底坡度较大，从早白垩世开始沉积环境经历了由陆棚向大陆斜坡转移的过程，海平面升高，构造性质主要为水平拉张、裂陷。早白垩世晚期海底扇处于成熟阶段，海岸平原和大陆架宽度加大，砂/?泥比值降低，沉积物以泥质组分为主，富含菱铁矿、钙质结核，少见菊石等生物化石，相变缓慢，水体低能，属于缓倾斜、无明显坡折带的陆缘，反映了北喜马拉雅区的最大海侵事件。由于印度洋扩张、印度板块向北漂移，在早白垩世晚期北喜马拉雅被动陆缘已趋成熟，本区处于大陆斜坡下部强还原的深海-半深海环境。晚白垩世总体上属于海退，海底扇处于消亡阶段，其岩石由泥岩类向砂岩类直至砾岩类演化。白垩纪沉积盆地则相应经历了由陆棚→拉张断陷盆地→陆坡→深海盆地的演变。     

桂西北晚古生代乐业孤立碳酸盐岩台地沉积特征与演化阶段

桂西北乐业台地是右江盆地北部典型的晚古生代孤立碳酸盐岩台地。从中泥盆统唐家湾组至上二叠统合山组均由碳酸盐岩构成,与北侧陆棚区多样的沉积类型及台地周边泥质-硅质岩深水沉积形成鲜明对比。台地内上古生界主要由台缘生物礁组合和礁后澙湖组合两种浅水碳酸盐沉积类型构成。地层发育与沉积特征主要受基底沉降、海平面波动、气候变化和盆地内生碳酸盐沉积速率控制。研究表明,乐业台地是在右江盆地强烈扩张、沉降过程中由扬子地台南缘破裂的微地块向盆地滑移而形成的孤立台地。它的演化经历了边缘台地（D1-D2）、孤立台地（D3-P2）和淹没台地（P3-T1）3个发展阶段。孤立台地是其最重要的主体特征,反映了右江盆地在晚古生代强烈扩张、沉降,扬子地台边缘拉伸、破裂,微地块向盆地滑移的构造背景。乐业孤立台地的形成及演化模式可能具有普遍性,也适用于右江盆地西北部其他晚古生代孤立碳酸盐岩台地。
