Monthly soil erosion monitoring based on remotely sensed biophysical parameters: a case study in Strymonas river basin towards a functional pan-European service

Abstract

Currently, many soil erosion studies at local, regional, national or continental scale use models based on the USLE-family approaches. Applications of these models pay little attention to seasonal changes, despite evidence in the literature which suggests that erosion risk may change rapidly according to intra-annual rainfall figures and vegetation phenology. This paper emphasises the aspect of seasonality in soil erosion mapping by using month-step rainfall erosivity data and biophysical time series data derived from remote-sensing. The latter, together with other existing pan-European geo-databases sets the basis for a functional pan-European service for soil erosion monitoring at a scale of 1:500,000. This potential service has led to the establishment of a new modelling approach (called the G2 model) based on the inheritance of USLE-family models. The G2 model proposes innovative techniques for the estimation of vegetation and protection factors. The model has been applied in a 14,500 km² study area in SE Europe covering a major part of the basin of the cross-border river, Strymonas. Model results were verified with erosion and sedimentation figures from previous research. The study confirmed that monthly erosion mapping would identify the critical months and would allow erosion figures to be linked to specific land uses.     

6级左右历史地震震源参数的模拟估计

本文借鉴直接拟合烈度数据点和枚举震源参数的做法,设计了一种利用烈度资料估计6级左右历史地震震源参数的方法.该方法对震源参数所有可能的组合进行枚举,采用地震波场模拟计算转换的理论烈度值,利用模型选择方法评估各可能的震源参数组合模型与历史破坏记录推断的地震烈度数据点的拟合程度,对震源参数做出估计.该方法充分考虑到历史资料相对稀少对震源参数估计的影响,以多种震源参数估计结果和相应权重值来定量化表示估计的不确定性.通过对给定震中位置、震源深度和滑动角的Bootstrap数值恢复检测与2006年美国Parkfield 6.0级地震实例的测试,表明该方法得出的震源参数估计结果具有统计一致性和一定的无偏性.将该方法应用于1882年河北深县6级地震的震源参数估计,结果显示东西向旧城北断层或何庄断层及北东东走向的深西断层为深县地震的发震构造的可能性较大.     

A GIS-based glacier inventory for the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands —A first case study on King George Island

The aim of the international project “Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS)” headed by the US Geological Survey is to establish a world wide glacier inventory based on satellite imagery. This data set will form a first digital baseline study for future glacier monitoring. The presented GIS-based glacier inventory for King George Island is a case study for the area of the Antarctic Peninsula. In the database of the glacier inventory topographic information, specific glaciological parameters as well as metadata will be included. The topographic data consists of drainage basin limits, basin areas, altitudinal ranges, perimeters and mean lengths. Glaciological data sets should comprise information on glacier retreat in different periods, glacier velocities, ice thickness and bedrock topography as well as derived parameters. Modelled and measured mass balance parameters could be included as additional data layers. In particular, these metadata records must comprise background information on data accuracy and data sources and should be compatible with a future data model for the King George Island GIS (KGIS). Three examples illustrate that the GLIMS database will not only contain information valuable for glaciological applications, but also other environmental studies on the island will benefit from this standardised remote sensing data sets. Therefore, a very close link between the data models of KGIS and GLIMS has to be established to enable these synergisms. Finally, better access to historic aerial photography would enable a continuous record of glacier retreat from the beginning of the 1950's onward.

坡面流水力学参数对团聚体剥蚀程度的定量影响

土壤团聚体作为径流搬运过程中的基本结构单元,其在径流运移中的剥蚀破坏影响着坡面径流入渗状况、泥沙含量及地表侵蚀过程的强度。利用变坡试验水槽,在不同流量(0.4~1.2 L/s)和坡度(8.8%~46.6%)范围内,详细分析了流量、坡度、径流水深和阻力系数对鄂南两种典型母质发育红壤团聚体剥蚀破坏的定量影响。研究结果表明,流量和坡度对两种母质发育红壤团聚体的剥蚀影响都是极显著的,坡度对两种红壤团聚体的剥蚀破坏影响均大于流量;不同流量和坡度组合下的团聚体剥蚀破坏变化规律不同,利用流量和坡度的幂函数可以准确地预测团聚体剥蚀程度;在两种水力学参数之间,团聚体剥蚀程度随着径流水深的增加而降低,随着阻力系数的变大剥蚀程度增加。

大理-瑞丽铁路属于泛亚铁路南线的重要组成部分。为解决铁路工程建设过程中面临的复杂地质问题,中国地质调查局在2008年1月至2010年12月期间组织实施了1∶5万区域地质调查与环境灾害专项调查,共设置了6个工作项目,包括22个1∶5万国际分幅的调查和1个综合研究项目。通过系统的区域地质调查和研究工作,在构造、岩石、地层、古生物等基础地质方面有大量的新发现,获得了一批高精度的锆石U-Pb年龄数据,认为保山地块应归属于冈瓦纳大陆。调查过程中发现了潞西构造混杂岩带,并认为其属于怒江构造混杂岩带的组成部分。     

用数值方法模拟观测误差对水质浓度反演模型参数的影响 ——以叶绿素a浓度为例

在2003年10月27日和28日观测的太湖水质光谱试验数据的支持下,利用数值模拟方法研究了试验数据误差与水质浓度反演模型经验常数之间的关系。研究结果表明,当试验数据误差分别服从正态分布与均匀分布时,反演模型的经验常数随着试验数据误差的增加而呈发散状态。根据试验数据误差与反演精度的关系可知,26.58%的试验误差对应着30%的反演精度,这就意味着在不考虑遥感影像处理所产生误差的前提下,严格控制试验数据误差在26.58%以内,是反演精度打破±30%的技术瓶颈的关键要素之一。
