“Caribou was the reason,and everything else happened after”: Effects of caribou declines on Inuit in Labrador,Canada

For many Indigenous Peoples in the Circumpolar North, cultural engagement and continuity across generations is directly related to relationships between and among people, animals, and landscapes. However, minimal research outlines the emotional responses and disruptions to culture and identity that are driven by ecological change, and the subsequent cultural dimensions of coping and adapting to this uncertainty. Through a case study that explores how caribou population declines and a caribou hunting ban are impacting Inuit in the Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut regions of Labrador, Canada, this article examines the critical interplay between cultural continuity and adaptive capacity for responding to ecological uncertainty. More specifically, this study: 1) described the central role that caribou play for Inuit emotional wellness, identity, and cultural continuity; 2) explored how the rapid declines of caribou in Labrador are affecting Inuit emotional wellness, identity, and cultural continuity; and 3) characterized the ways in which Inuit are adapting to these emotio-social, cultural, and ecological changes. Drawing from an Inuit-led, multi-year, multi-media qualitative and visual media research program, data from video interviews (n = 84: Nunatsiavut region: n = 54; NunatuKavut region: n = 30) were analyzed using a video-based qualitative analysis, constant-comparative methods, and inductive qualitative approach. Results indicated that caribou are a foundational element for Inuit emotional wellness, identity, and cultural continuity. The changes in caribou populations are resulting in complex emotional responses, losses to cultural meaning and knowledge, and alterations to Inuit identities. The impacts on emotions, identity, and cultural continuity related to Inuit-caribou relations at an individual and collective level reflect the interconnections between cultural continuity and adaptive capacity that underlie the loss of this culturally important species. Though this research focuses on two Inuit groups and caribou in Labrador, the insights from these lived experiences highlight the ongoing cultural and identity consequences associated with species declines occurring globally.

断裂对泥岩盖层破坏程度综合定量研究方法及其应用

为了研究断裂在油气聚集与保存中的作用,在断裂对泥岩盖层破坏作用机理及影响因素研究的基础上,采用断裂断距与泥岩盖层厚度比较和断层岩排替压力与泥岩盖层排替压力比较的研究方法,建立了一套断裂对泥岩盖层破坏程度的综合定量研究方法。并选取构造盆地徐家围子断陷营城组14个火山岩气藏中的断裂为例,对其对火山岩气藏泥岩盖层破坏程度进行了综合定量研究,结果表明,徐家围子断陷营城组14个火山岩气藏断裂对泥岩盖层的破坏程度仅个别较强其余以弱为主,有利于天然气的聚集与保存,这是断陷营城组火山岩中能找到大量天然气藏的一个重要原因。这一应用结果表明该方法用于断裂对泥岩盖层破坏程度综合定量研究是可行的。     

Upstream morphological effects of a sequential check dam adjustment process

Sediment flushing and the morphological responses to the procedure of check dam removal are still unclear. Following laboratory experiments that revealed three stages (deepening, widening, and volume release) of check dam adjustment, a check dam built in 2007 at Landao Creek in central Taiwan was adjusted in 2015 by removing central bars and cutting 2.5 m from the middle two piers (stage 1 + 2), with the purpose of regulating sediment transfer and keeping the thalweg at the center of the channel, while also preventing hill slope toe erosion. In 2019, four central piers were removed (stage 3) to increase the volume of sediment released. Annual surveys were conducted after the initial adjustment in 2015 through to 2020 using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The check dam adjustments revealed that the channel had narrowed and stabilized as indicated by regenerating riparian vegetation. Additionally, distinct terraces had formed on the hill slope toes of the creek channel in proximity to the check dam. The meander upstream weakened following the dam adjustments. This study combining laboratory experiments with actual field observation contributed immensely to check dam decommissioning. Additionally, this study illustrated how an adjustable check dam may aid regulation of sediment transport and thereby sediment balance. It can be adjusted accordingly based on the prevailing channel condition.     

空间网络对时序InSAR相位解缠的影响——以Delaunay与Dijkstra网络为例EI北大核心CSCD

在时间序列InSAR相位解缠的过程中,相干目标需事先构建空间网络之后再进行模糊度解算。Delaunay三角网是当前时序相位解缠的主流构网方法,但其网络形态易包含高相位梯度的边缘,导致违背相位连续性假设。考虑到目前很少有关于空间网络对解缠影响的研究及相位解缠对InSAR技术测量精度的主导地位,本文在量化分析Delaunay网络对解缠影响的基础上,提出引入图论中的Dijkstra最短路径算法优化Delaunay网络中所有边的相位梯度,进而改善时序相位解缠的精度。本文采用模拟和真实数据对基于Delaunay网络和基于优化网络的相位解缠进行了对比验证。结果表明,本文提出的构网方法能够更好地满足相位连续性假设,减少约33%由解缠误差所导致的不闭合三角环数。较传统研究聚焦解缠方法和目标函数的改进而言,本文研究揭示了空间网络的改善对时间序列相位解缠的重要性。

Numerical simulation of laboratory experiments in detention pond routing with long rainfall duration

This paper establishes a numerical detention pond volume model based on the hydrological continuity equation and the Runge-Kutta numerical method. Experiments for the conditions of both steady and unsteady flow have been used to verify the model. In unsteady flow cases, the outflow hydrograph by numerical simulation are fairly consistent with experimental value. Both experimental and numerical results indicate that wider rectangular sharp-crested weirs or larger rectangular slot tend to induce greater outflow discharges, which undesirably cut down the detention volume. Experiments show that the necessary detention volume of rectangular slot is smaller than that of the rectangular sharp-crested weir for a constant flood peak reduction. That is, the rectangular slot is the recommended outflow device when flood peak reduction is the design criteria. The study also shows that necessary detention volume of the short rainfall duration is less than that of the long rainfall duration under constant allowable maximum discharge.
