太平洋命名的历史

在一个风帆远航为海上最快速交通工具的时代里,大陆和海洋向着不可知的远方延伸着,人类显然无法测定各大海域的界限。在一些有关混沌初开的神话传说里,人类深感大海的浩渺辽阔,以人类自身的渺小,如何给这片无边无际的永恒大海命名呢?     

ANALYSIS OF DRIVING FORCES ON THE CHANGE OF HISTORICAL FARMLAND USE IN SHANDONG PROVINCE DURING THE QING DYNASTY （1644-1911）

How land-cover has been changed by human use over the last 300 years is one of the five overarching questions guiding the Land-use/Cover Change (LUCC) Science/Research Plan. China has variety of historical docu-ments providing unique data superiority. So the characteristics of farmland area in Shandong Province during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) are summarized firstly: 1) the rising trend of farmland area was striking; 2) farmland area had re-markable fluctuation; 3) farmland area per capita decreased dramatically; 4) wasteland reclamation index increased rapidly. Then, the driving forces of farmland area change are analyzed. It is concluded that natural and human factors are jointly influential. Among the driving forces, human dimensions are the main factors of farmland area change,which direct the general tendency of the changes mentioned above. And the natural factors influence the stability of farmland area as well. Variation of the natural factors would act as the major contributory factor to farmland area change during years or periods of abrupt climatic changes, or during the intensive occurring periods of natural hazards.Besides, the passive aspects of human factors, such as war chaos also influenced the fluctuation of the farmland area.This research indicates that it is feasible to study the land-use/cover change by Chinese historical literatures, which has huge potential to provide a comprehensive picture of the growing dominance of human land-use and land-cover pat-terns that can be used in many global change research oroiects.     

确立生态价值观 构筑和谐可持续发展社会

世界各国的发展都必须面对的是这样一个共同性的基本问题，即人类社会对物质产品数量、性能、品种追求的无限性与自然环境、物质生产及供给能力的有限性之间的矛盾。人类自出现以来就开始努力从自然界中谋求生存并争取更好的生存（发展的本质就在于此），这种努力永不停歇。尽管人类社会追求物质产品的无限性和自然环境供给能力的有限性是客观存在的，但人类认识到他们的存在，特别是认识到这二者之间矛盾的严重性和普遍性，却有一个相当漫长的过程。     

太阳黑子相对数与人类疾病关系的初步分析

从日地关系的角度出发,探讨太阳活动对人类疾病有何影响。本文根据南京市传染病医院的资料,对每种疾病人数的相对比率与太阳黑子相对数对应作图比较,并求出其相关系数。我们的初步结果表明:伤寒和猩红热的发病率与太阳活动11年周期变化一致,它们在同年达到极大值,其它的不明确。     

邹城市峄山省级地质公园揭碑开园

9月15日上午，峄山省级地质公园揭碑开园仪式在邹城市峄山举行。山东省国土资源厅领导及济宁市、邹城市有关领导和部门负责同志出席了揭碑开园仪式，并参观游览了峄山地质公园。峄山省级地质公园位于邹城市市区东南部，总面积约80平方千米。主要包括“七山一水”为主的自然地质景观和人文历史景观。作为主要标志、第一高峰的峄山，海拔582．8米，素有“邹鲁灵秀”、“岱南奇观”之美誉，被誉为“神州怪石第一山”、“天下第一奇山”。区内纵横交错的花岗岩节理，直插天表的花岗岩奇峰，     

修武:千年古坑免遭一劫

近日,修武县国土资源局西村国土所及时制止一起盗采铁矿石行为,使该乡一"千年古坑"免遭破坏. 被当地人称为"千年古坑"的大水坑位于修武县北部山区西村乡黑岩村与孟泉村交界处,呈椭园形,长约50米,宽约30米,最深处约4米.此坑是自然形成,坑里的水是靠雨季和雪融水储存的.千百年来,黑岩和孟泉两村千余口人和牲畜就是靠吃这个水坑里的水生存的,坑里的水常年清澈见底,不用过滤不用沉淀可直接饮用.随着经济的发展,山区饮水条件的改善,此坑里的水现已成为黑岩村的牲畜饮用水.在上世纪70年代,黑岩村村民对坑内进行了清於,对已损坏的护坑石楞进行了维修,并作为历史古迹保护了下来.

Medical geology：new relevance in the earth sciences

The interdisciplinary fieldresponds to the need to betterof “Medical Geology“ understand the relationships between human health and our surrounding environment. The influence of earth resources, natural environmental factors and land-use on human health has long been recognized, dating back to ancient Rome and Peru‘s Inca civilization. Today links between the natural environment and health can be found throughout the world. This review introduces the historical context of this particular type of research, contrasts the direct geological and indirect natural hazard influences on healthas a framework of study, elaborates on pathways of elemental accumulation in the body and provides examples of specific geochemical behaviours and diseases that are often associated with either too much or not enough of certain elements which comprise the Earth.
