The climatic impacts of land surface change and carbon management, and the implications for climate-change mitigation policy

Strategies to mitigate anthropogenic climate change recognize that carbon sequestration in the terrestrial biosphere can reduce the build-up of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere. However, climate mitigation policies do not generally incorporate the effects of these changes in the land surface on the surface albedo, the fluxes of sensible and latent heat to the atmosphere, and the distribution of energy within the climate system. Changes in these components of the surface energy budget can affect the local, regional, and global climate. Given the goal of mitigating climate change, it is important to consider all of the effects of changes in terrestrial vegetation and to work toward a better understanding of the full climate system. Acknowledging the importance of land surface change as a component of climate change makes it more challenging to create a system of credits and debits wherein emission or sequestration of carbon in the biosphere is equated with emission of carbon from fossil fuels. Recognition of the complexity of human-caused changes in climate does not, however, weaken the importance of actions that would seek to minimize our disturbance of the Earth’s environmental system and that would reduce societal and ecological vulnerability to environmental change and variability.     

多时相Radarsat数据在广东肇庆地区稻田分类中的应用

将1996年获取的4个时相的Radarsat图像用于广东肇庆地区的稻田分类试验,结果表明,多时相Radarsat数据对水稻类型的识别精度较高,而且稻田的轮作规律容易推测出来。本文系统地介绍了这一试验研究的最新进展,探讨了神经网络分类方法在SAR图像处理中的应用潜力和Radarsat数据在中国南方水稻监测中的最佳时相选择和有效分辨率问题。     

利用TM数据快速提取含矿蚀变带方法研究

热液蚀变岩类是在含矿热液作用下引起原岩化学成分和物理性质发生变化的结果，因此蚀变岩类往往与内生产矿产伴生，有时其本身就是含矿体。不同蚀变矿特级组合具有独特的光谱响应，但是光谱的反射和吸收产特征较弱称为遥感找矿弱信息标志。

Shorelines of the Uppsala Esker East-Central Sweden: Their Use as Indicators of Regional Differences in Shore Displacement

About 750 different shoremarks, mainly shore terraces, have been levelled along the Uppsala esker. Using various methods it has been possible to arrange the shoremarks to shorelines or rather shoremark zones containing more shoremarks than intervening parts. The material was divided into two major parts, i.e. shoremarks below c . 15 m above sea level and shoremarks above c . 15 m. It was found that shorelines on the whole were sloping towards the north. This was expected because of the faster shore displacement in the northern part of the area. However, the shorelines below c . 15 m a.s.l. indicated a slower increase in shore displacement than those of higher altitudes. A conclusion drawn from this might be that the increase towards the north is retarded in the area around Lake Mälar. This result is in reasonable agreement with recent isobase systems constructed from the evidence of mareograph records and repeated precise levellings. On the other hand, the shoreline studies give evidence of more pronounced regional differences in shore displacement in earlier Litorina times than those found today.
