美国大陆地区震中图的构造解释

按照地震线的判定原则,利用美国大陆地区历史地震和现代地震的震中分布图,并结合地质和地球物理资料,画出了美国大陆地区的地震线和地震密集带,分析了美国大陆总体的和分区的地震构造格局特征,并与中国大陆的地震构造格局作了比较。结果说明,地震震中的空间分布特征反映了地壳内部活动构造的信息,大陆的地震构造格局不仅受原有构造格架和现今边界动力环境的控制,而且还可能受更高层次的全球构造动力因素的影响。     

生态城市空间结构研究

Geovisualization of Human Hybrid Activity-Travel Patterns

While GIS‐based geovisualization techniques have been fruitfully employed in a wide range of fields, they have not been applied to explore human hybrid activity‐travel patterns (i.e. the patterns of people's activities and/or travel in both the physical and virtual worlds). This study develops two geovisualization approaches using 3D and 2D GIS techniques to address the difficulties faced by past studies. First, the notions of information cube and hybrid 3D space‐time paths are developed to accommodate cyberspatial activities in exploratory data analysis. Second, a new representation of 2D space‐time paths that incorporates parallel coordinate plots is developed for exploring the multiple attributes of people's Internet and physical activities. These two methods were implemented using ArcObjects and the Visual Basic for Applications environment in ArcGIS. They were used to visualize a complex Internet‐activity diary dataset collected in Columbus (Ohio, USA). The study shows that the 3D and 2D geovisualization methods developed allow us to uncover important patterns in hybrid human activity‐travel behavior.
