Calculating Pollution Indices by Heavy Metals in Ecological Geochemistry Assessment and a Case Study in Parks of Beijing

Pollution index is a powerful tool for ecological geochemistry assessment. The commonly used pollution indices by heavy metals in soils and sediments were classified as two types of single index and integrated index in an algorithm point of view. Four single indices of contamination factor (or concentration factor), ecological risk factor, enrichment factor, and index of geo-accumulation were illustrated, and the reference values for calculating single indices were distinguished into background levels and threshold pollution values. Eight integrated indices were divided into two groups. One group is suitable for the normal distribution single indices including the sum, average, weighted average,vector modulus, and Nemerow pollution indices, and the other for log-normal distribution including the product, root of product, and weighted power product pollution indices. Using background levels as reference values, five contamination classes were divided, and the terminologies are suggested for the single and integrated indices to unify the assessment results. Software of EGAPI was developed in a single document interface to calculate the four single and eight integrated indices by heavy metals to assess the quality of soil and sediment ecological geochemistry. Pollution indices by heavy metals of Cu,Pb, and Zn in soils in parks of Beijing were calculated using EGAPI software, and these five contamination classes and terminologies suggested in this study were evaluated and used. Results ofintegrated indices of Cu, Pb, and Zn in soils indicated that the soil qualities are unpolluted as a whole and varied from low polluted to unpolluted status from the center to the outskirts of Beijing City.     

Fault Characteristics in Longmen Mountain Thrust Belt,Western Sichuan Foreland Basin,China

Through field geological survey,the authors found that abundant thrust faults developed in the Longmen (龙门) Mountain thrust belt.These faults can be divided into thrust faults and strike-slip faults according to their formation mechanisms and characteristics.Furthermore,these faults can be graded into primary fault,secondary fault,third-level fault,and fourth-level fault according to their scale and role in the tectonic evolution of Longmen Mountain thrust belt.Each thrust fault is composed of several secondary faults,such as Qingchuan (青川)-Maowen (茂汶) fault zone is composed of Qiaozhuang (乔庄) fault,Qingxi (青溪) fault,Maowen fault,Ganyanggou (赶羊沟) fault,etc..The Longmen Mountain thrust belt experienced early Indosinian movement,Anxian (安县) movement,Yanshan (燕山)movement,and Himalayan movement,and the faults formed gradually from north to south.     

新疆南天山库车坳陷区东秋里塔格断褶带构造特征及新活动性

库车坳陷是南天山中段新构造运动异常强烈的地区,内部发育有四排近EW向展布的逆断裂-背斜带,由南天山山前向塔里木方向依次为:山麓逆断裂-背斜带;喀桑托开逆断裂-背斜带;秋里塔格逆断裂-背斜带和亚肯盲逆断裂-背斜带.东秋里塔格背斜属秋里塔格逆断裂-背斜带东段部分,其构造运动尤为强烈.研究表明:东秋里塔格背斜是浅部滑脱面与其南翼逆冲断层共同形成的断层传播-滑脱混生褶皱,背斜南翼的浅层逆冲断层和深层的断坡构造是重要孕震场所.东秋里塔格浅部背斜核部的背冲式断裂和北翼的膝折属于派生的次级构造,断裂的规模、错动量有限.东秋里塔格背斜南翼逆断层最新活动错断Ⅱ级阶地砾石层,其活动年代至少为全新世早期,这次错动在地表留有3～4 km长的古地震破裂形迹,说明断裂具粘滑运动特征.     

新疆北山晚古生代内生金属矿床成矿系列研究

新疆北山造山带是我国重要的铜镍金铁矿产勘查区之一.通过初步研究,按照成矿系列的学术思想,将区内晚古生代金属矿床划分为3个成矿系列,即晚古生代与基性-超基性岩浆有关的铜镍硫化物矿床成矿系列、晚古生代与强应变构造带有关的铜金矿床成矿系列和与火山岩有关的铁矿床成矿系列.     

民和盆地上侏罗-下白垩统储层特征及影响因素分析

民和盆地储怪物性较差,普遍具有低孔、低渗或低孔、特低渗的物性特征,通过对上侏罗—下白垩统储集层的沉积相特征、砂体展布、岩石结构类型、物性特征及期影响因素的系统分析,发现高地温场、成岩过程中的压实与胶结作用是造成盆地物性差的主要原因.古埋藏浅、次生孔隙发育、易形成裂缝的环凹陷周缘斜坡带及凹中继承性隆起带储层物性相对有利,为盆地下步勘探目标优选的有利领域.     

探地雷达在马来西亚某石灰岩工地探测实例

石灰岩地区地质条件比较复杂,进行建筑施工之前了解清楚石灰岩的起伏及岩溶破碎带的分布情况对分析地基的稳定性非常重要.马来西亚某石灰岩工地探地雷达探测实例显示,探测解释结果同钻孔验证结果基本吻合,说明利用探地雷达可以获得关于地基的地质信息,可为建筑设计和施工提供参考依据.     

北京电车：一道悠长的风景线

2008年4月23日,消失了50年之久的“铛铛车”（“铛铛”二字老北京的发音是“DiangDiang”）重现北京前门大街。“铛铛车”一时成为媒体的焦点和市民的谈资。20世纪早期,“铛铛车”是北京主要交通工具之一。因为这种车开起来时会发出有节奏的“铛铛”声,老百姓就亲切地称它是“铛铛车”。那时的北京街头,只要是繁华街区,就可以看到“铛铛车”庞大的身影,     

北京交通变迁：与公交车一起驶过的日子

变迁,是北京交通永恒的主题。 百年来,近现代交通事业从无到有,交通形式从单一到多元; 道路布局从方正的棋盘状结构发展为棋盘式与环形、放射式相结合的路网;交通工具完成了轿子、马车、骡车——自行车、人力车——有轨电车——公共汽车——无轨电车——地铁——私家车这一进化过程……     

基于GIS的北京市生态环境质量监测与分析

以2006年TM、SPOT 4及QuickBird遥感影像为信息源,在地理信息系统与遥感技术的支持下,结合野外调查及其它辅助数据,运用生态环境状况评价技术规范,对北京市2006年的生态环境质量进行评价,并对2000年与2006年北京市生态环境变化进行动态分析.结果表明: 2006年北京市生态环境质量评价指数为59.707,处于良好等级;2000～2006年间,北京全市生态环境状况稳定保持在"良"的状态,总体变化不大,但北京市耕地面积减少了339.09 km2,城镇建设用地增加了285.24 km2,水域面积减少了118.98 km2,其主要原因是降水量的减少、城市化扩张以及人为因素影响.
