The Geologic Time Scale and the Italian stratigraphic record

The construction of the Geologic Time Scale (GTS) is a titanic scientific challenge that has been under way for two centuries and will require much dedicated effort in the future. Italy preserves a paramount stratigraphic record of Mesozoic and Cenozoic marine sediments that have been significant in the development of the modern GTS. The Italian stratigraphic record has been histori-cally important in introducing and defining the standard Chronostratigraphic Units (CUs) of the Neogene and Quaternary. Pelagic successions from Northern Apen-nines and Southern Alps have been used in the seventies for integrating the late Cretaceous-Paleogene Geomag-netic Polarity Time Scale (GPTS) with planktonic microfossil biostratieraohv and standard CUs. This was a major contribution to the construction of a new gener-ation of GTS based on integrated magnetobiochronol-ogy. The middle Miocene to early Pleistocene marinerecord from Sicily and southern Italy has been funda-mental for establishing the recently developed Astro-nomical Time Scale (ATS). In prospect, there are many potentials still to be exploited in the Italian marine stratigraphic record for implementing the GTS by defin-ing GSSPs of various CUs, improving magneto-biochronology and extending downwards the ATS.

中央投20亿元启动地质勘查基金——着重用于重点矿种、重点成矿区带的前期勘查

为了加大国家财政对矿产资源勘查投入力度，鼓励和引导社会资金投入，建立矿产资源勘查投入良性循环机制，财政部、国土资源部近日发布《中央地质勘查基金（周转金）管理暂行办法》。这是贯彻落实《国务院关于加强地质工作的决定》的第一个配套文件。     

庆祝中国共产党建党八十五周年——山东省地质科学研究院“七一”活动纪实

近期，山东省地质科学研究院为庆祝中国共产党建党85周年开展了一系列丰富多彩的纪念活动。6月29日，组织全院党员、团员到莱芜战役纪念馆学习参观，缅怀了革命先烈的丰功伟绩，游览了溪水潺潺、层峦叠翠的“九龙大峡谷”。7月1日，全院隆重召开了庆祝中国共产党建党85周年大会暨“树立社会主义荣辱观”演讲交流会。院党委书记、院长王君仁作了重要讲话。来自院属各单位的14位代表围绕“学党章、知荣辱”主题，联系实际畅谈了学习体会和收获。该次学习活动对全院干部职工树立“八荣八耻”道德观，推动全院精神文明建设起到了积极的作用。     

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.     

土地收益金和土地收益能否混为一谈

近几年,在国土资源管理部门征收国有土地租赁租金(俗称年租金)过程中,有不少地市同房管部门征收的出租门面房土地收益金“撞车”,它不仅造成同一种费用重复征收,加重用地单位的负担,损害政府形象,而且形成多头管理土地,使土地资产大量流失,甚至导致不安定因素的发生。造成此种现象的主要原因,虽然是某些部门的职能越位和错位,但是概念混淆、政策打架也是其原因之一。因此,要解决此问题,首先要弄清“土地收益金”和“土地收益”二者的概念。 让我们来看一下房管部门征收“土地收益金”的主要依据,它是根据建设部(1995)第42号令《城市房屋…
