Research on Cultural Dimension of Natural Disaster:A Literature Review

Culture provides an important perspective to understand society. It is one of the key factors that impact how people behave themselves, interact with one another, view the world; what they believe and value. Therefore, a good understanding of public disaster awareness and disaster coping is impossible without taking their culture context into consideration. Since the 1960s, cultural dimension in disaster issues and/or disaster reduction practices has been attracting increasingly attention; many empirical or theoretical explorations have been reported. This review aims to give an overview of research progresses on how culture impacts public awareness and coping of disasters, and analyze the corresponding implications for disaster research and disaster reduction practice. This review summarizes that: ①There is unanimous consensus on public awareness and coping of disaster, which are affected by their culture context. While the knowledge about the ways and degree of impact is still limited, further research is warranted. In addition, more systematic and in-depth studies conducted from cross-cultural perspectives are needed to design to further explore the origins of variance in public disaster awareness and coping, and to what extent from cultural differences. ②Research on public awareness of disaster, emergency response and recovery indicated that culture might have double-side impacts on disaster management—sometimes cultural factors such as value, norm, custom and belief might lead to people more vulnerable than the others, even could be the root causes, but they could also be the source of people’s resilience to disaster in some cases. How to identify those positive and negative impacts, then develop cultural-oriented disaster management policy is a challenge issue, which need special attention. ③There is an increasing acknowledgement that local knowledge and disaster subculture could play an important role in public disaster coping, while the lacking of the awareness of the value of local knowledge, the change of lifestyle, and the impact from external culture pose a threat to the inheritance of some local, traditional disaster coping strategies. So exploring how to conserve, protect, identify, document them, then combine them with modern science and technology should and will be the focus of relevant studies. On the bases of these summarizations, in terms of cultural dimension of natural disaster research in China, systematic and in-depth studies are needed to explore how Chinese culture affects public disaster awareness and coping, what cultural resources can be used in disaster (risk) reduction and for building and enhancing disaster resilience, and how to use them.     

牛庄洼陷南斜坡未熟-低熟烃源岩排烃特征探讨

牛庄洼陷及其南斜坡烃源岩孔隙度、声波时差与伊蒙矿物含量测定结果表明,2 6 0 0m为成岩作用早期与晚期阶段的界限,在早期演化阶段南斜坡没有出现明显的异常压力,牛庄洼陷成岩作用晚期阶段有明显的压力异常。生物标志物演化与Ro值测定反映,该区有机质大量成烃起始阶段为 2 70 0m,牛庄洼陷南斜坡带 <2 70 0m烃源岩不具备大量排烃的生烃量条件与地质证据。牛庄洼陷南斜坡八面河油田原油的混合成熟度特征与混合的均一性,反映原油的混合作用在初次运移阶段可能即已发生,推测牛庄洼陷深部烃源岩在异常压力作用下通过微裂隙等间歇式排烃的同时,浅层未熟 低熟烃源岩生成的少量原油经由断层、应力产生的微裂隙与层理面,在地层压力及深部流体过剩压力参与下与成熟油混合幕式排出。烃源岩未熟 低熟阶段的排烃效率低于成熟烃源岩。     

Research on the water use efficiency and foliar nutrient status of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Populus euphratica</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tamarix ramosissima</Emphasis> in the extreme arid region of China

Seasonal variations in foliar stable carbon composition (δ¹³C) and nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) concentrations of Populus euphratica Olivier and Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb, as well as correlations between foliar δ¹³C values and N, P and K concentrations were studied in the Ejina oasis in the lower reaches of the Heihe River, northwestern China. Foliar δ¹³C values, and P and K concentrations significantly differed between species. Foliar δ¹³C signatures in T. ramosissima were significantly more enriched than those in P. euphratica, but P and K concentrations of P. euphratica were higher. The seasonal variations and patterns of these were similar. The total foliar δ¹³C values and N, P and K concentrations in both P. euphratica and T. ramosissima showed a descending trend. There were significantly positive correlations between foliar δ¹³C values and N and P concentration of both P. euphratica and T. ramosissima. For the relationship between foliar δ¹³C and K concentration, there appeared oppositely positive and negative correlations in P. euphratica and T. ramosissima, respectively, but they were not significant. The simple positive correlations of δ¹³C–P% and δ¹³C–N% suggested that N and P in P. euphratica and T. ramosissima behave in a similar manner. This study also showed that there were nutrient deficiencies; N and P nutriments were the co-limiting factors in P. euphratica, while it was P nutriment in T. ramosissima.

Tectonogeochemical features and metallogenic prognosis in the Xiaolongtan copper mining district, Binchuan, Yunnan Province, China

The Xiaolongtan copper mining district is an important area in Dali, West Yunnan, where porphyry copper deposits occur, and copper orebodies are controlled by fault or contact zone structures between porphyry massifs and country rocks. Based on detailed field investigation and deep-going analysis, the authors systematically studied the tectonogeochemical features of this mining district, proposed the principle and foundation of metallogenic prognosis, and delineated the most potential mineralization target area.

The Influence of Allogenic Water and Sulfuric Acid to Karst Carbon Sink in Karst Subterranean River in Southern Hu’nan

Evaluating the impact of allogenic water and sulfuric acid on karst carbon sink not only helps to improve the accurate calculation of soil CO₂ uptake by rock weathering, but also obtains a complete understanding of the global carbon cycle. Groundwater samples were collected from four karst subterranean rivers watershed within different lithology strata in Wushui Basin, upstream of Beijiang Basin, Hunan Province, for revealing the important impact of silicate weathering on hydrochemistry of groundwater. To estimate the contribution of soil CO₂ uptake by silicate weathering to CO₂ uptake by rock weathering, the Galy model was employed in this article. The important impact of sulfuric acid on CO₂ uptake by carbonate weathering resulting from the substitution of carbonic acid by protons from sulfuric acid was investigated. Our results showed that the concentration of Na⁺, K⁺ and SiO₂ in L01,L02 subterranean river with silicate strata in watershed were higher than that in L03,L04 subterranean river without silicate strata in watershed, which implied that the contribution of silicate weathering to Na⁺,K⁺ and SiO₂ was very important in watershed within silicate strata . The changeable equivalent ratio between (Ca²⁺+Mg²⁺) and HCO₃^- was 1.05 to 1.15, and the value of [Ca²⁺+Mg²⁺]/[HCO₃^-+SO₄^2-] was 0.99 to 1.08. The concentrations of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ exceeded the equivalent concentrations of HC₃^-, and the excess of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺cations were compensated by SO₄^2-, which suggested that sulfuric acid has an important influence on carbonate dissolution. The contribution of soil CO₂uptake by silicate weathering to CO₂ consumption in L01 and L02 subterranean river were 3.36% and 2.22%, respectively, whereas the contribution in L03, L04 subterranean river were less than 0.50%, indicating that the contribution of soil CO₂ uptake by silicate weathering was important in the subterranean river basin within silicate strata. Due to the contributions made by sulfuric acid, the CO₂ consumption in four subterranean rivers decreased by 4.84%, 4.52%, 6.20%, 9.36%, respectively.
