The landscape Reynolds number and other dimensionless measures of Earth surface processes

An analogy between turbulent fluid systems and landscape drainage systems [Parker, G., Haff, P.K., Murray, A.B., 2001, EOS, Transactions of the American Geophysical Union, 82, pp. F564.] is suggested by the observation that transport in both systems can be approximated by diffusion with size-proportional effective diffusivities, with a cross-over at small scales to Fickian diffusion. The “landscape” Reynolds number of a typical fluvial landscape is estimated to be of order Re_L 10⁶ to 10⁹, these large values reflecting the relative efficiency of fluvial transport compared to creep. Re_L is the ratio of the large-scale effective diffusivity of rivers to the small-scale diffusivity of creep processes on hillslopes. The spatial dependence of the effective diffusivity produces rivers with logarithmic long-profiles, similar to the profiles of many rivers in nature, and analogous to the logarithmic dependence of mean fluid velocity on distance from a wall in turbulent flow. The landscape example suggests how other generalized “Reynolds numbers” can be constructed as ratios of large-scale to small-scale diffusivities to measure the efficiencies of complex processes that affect the surface. As an example, the global airline transportation network is estimated to have an efficacy relative to that of direct human mechanisms for transport of similar goods and materials of about 10⁸ as measured by a corresponding “technology” Reynolds number. The appearance of such large dimensionless numbers, pertaining to the consequences of human invention and design, reflects the emergence of the technosphere as an increasingly efficient overlay on the historical domain of biology and surficial geology.

GPS技术在测量喜马拉雅山地区板块运动和地壳垂直位移中的应用

大量的研究成果普遍认为,喜马拉雅山是一座年轻的快速隆升的山脉,而支持这种主张的定量数据却不多。本文在多次实地工作的基础上(尤其是1991年所进行的全球定位系统(GPS)测量),并结合有关资料,对喜马拉雅山的板块运动和垂直地壳位移作以阶段性的研究。     

The Cost(s) of Geospatial Open Data

The provision of open data by governments at all levels has rapidly increased over recent years. Given that one of the dominant motivations for the provision of open data is to generate ‘value’, both economic and civic, there are valid concerns over the costs incurred in this pursuit. Typically, costs of open data are framed as internal to the data providing government. Building on the strong history of GIScience research on data provision via spatial data infrastructures, this article considers both the direct and indirect costs of open data provision, framing four main areas of indirect costs: citizen participation challenges, uneven provision across geography and user types, subsidy of private sector activities, and the creation of inroads for corporate influence on government. These areas of indirect cost lead to the development of critical questions, including constituency, purpose, enablement, protection, and priorities. These questions are posed as a guide to governments that provide open data in addressing the indirect costs of open data.     

用CT技术反演面波Q值空间分布及其研究前景(英文)

本文运用CT技术反演地壳面波品质因数Q值空间分布,采用在医学上X—CT技术中的卷积反投影方法,引用 Radon 变换反演和图像重建方法来拟合地壳面波 Q 值的空间分布。由600次地震实际的2200条地震波射线的面波振幅、周期资料,进行实际地壳 Q 值反演,首先获得四川盆地附近:北纬26°—34°,东经103°—112°范围的面波 Q 值分布,作出该区 Q=210-255的等值线图,其平均 Q 值为225,在四川盆地中部面波 Q 值偏高,这可能与该盆地中部沉积物介质比较均匀,非弹性成分较少有关。然后以上述经纬度范围的四川盆地为基地,将面波扫描的方框分别向北、向南、向西、向东移动各2度,再做四次 Q 值成像,取其中间重迭部位,计算 Q 值的平均值及其残差,得每经纬度为半度的像素中观测误差的空间分布图。求得该范围的平均误差为8%。进一步将平面范围地震面波 Q 值成象扩大成球面上的投影成像:系将上述单框 Q 值图像沿经纬度方向各移动2度进行叠加,使若干个平面小单框复盖在预想的球面上的大区域上,除去边缘部分之外,在该范围的经纬度网上都叠加有一个以上的 Q 值数据,通过计算每个网点上的平均 Q 值及其标准误差的等值线,可获得球面上大范围的 Q 值成象图。得到了7×7框范围内的面波 Q 值分布图。本文探讨了 Q值成像在改进面波震级标度和解释地震震级的路径校正值以及为地震监测预报服务的研究前景。     

南京市居民网络购物行为特征——以书籍和衣服为例

随着信息通讯技术(ICT)的飞速发展,网络购物日益成为当今社会经济生活的重要组成部分,深刻影响了居民的购物消费行为和传统零售业的发展。不同国家、不同人群、不同商品类型的居民购物行为具有一定差异。本文在问卷调查的基础上,分析南京市居民网络购物行为特征,并区分不同商品类型的居民网购行为特征差异,对理解网络购物和实体购物相互作用关系及网购对于交通出行和城市零售业空间的影响具有重要意义。结果表明：居民网络购物行为是一个复杂的过程,不同类型商品、不同频率网购人群在社会经济属性、空间特征、网络使用及购物习惯、购物态度上有明显差异,其中不同频率网购衣服的人群在特征上的差异更为显著,体验型商品对网络购物这一新型购物方式的响应更为强烈。     

唐山市曹妃甸地区大气降尘矿物学特征及环境意义——以华北理工大学校区为例

大气降尘矿物学特征研究具有重要的环境学意义。文章以华北理工大学校区采集样品为例,应用激光粒度分析仪、扫描电镜、X射线粉末衍射、电感耦合等离子体质谱等对河北省唐山市曹妃甸地区大气降尘矿物学特征进行了初步分析研究。结果表明,曹妃甸地区大气降尘粒径较粗,颗粒物包括块状、柱状、片状、球状及不规则粒状集合体,主要由石英、长石、石膏、云母、绿泥石、角闪石、白云石、方解石和赤铁矿等矿物组成;降尘样品中Cr、Cu、Zn、As、Cd、Pb等重金属元素含量均较高。研究分析表明,降尘样品中硅酸盐矿物主要源自地面扬尘,而石膏、方解石等碳酸盐矿物可能为环境中的次生矿物,样品中重金属污染主要来源于燃煤、工矿企业生产排放和少部分汽车尾气排放。

New insights into hominin lithic activities at FLK North Bed I, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania

Recent work at FLK North (FLK N) has unearthed a new archaeological assemblage recovered with precise control of its stratigraphic position. In the present work, the technological study of the new lithic sample is described. The results show the co-occurrence in the same site of different technological behaviors. At FLK N, hominins were involved in both percussion/battering activities and, through freehand and bipolar knapping, in core reduction. However, the reconstruction of the operational sequences shows that core reduction was probably a marginal behavior, while percussion/battering activities occurred more regularly throughout the sequence. If hominins were not involved in regular carcass processing, as recent taphonomic studies suggest, then hominins' sporadic and low-impact visits to the site over a long period of time must have been driven by other activities probably linked to the exploitation of alternative resources. Plant processing could have been a plausible explanation for hominin presence at FLK N.
