法库地区大型韧性剪切带特征及成因机制

通过对辽北法库地区构造岩的观察和研究，确定了本区存在一大型推覆韧性剪切带。根据同构造侵入岩的同位素年龄，确定该韧性剪切带形成时期为海西－印支期，这与天山－兴安褶皱系最终形成时间相一致

Utilisation and Management Changes in South Kyrgyzstan＇s Mountain Forests

Using political ecology as its conceptual framework, this paper focuses on the changes in forest utilisation and management of South Kyrgyzstan＇s walnut-fruit forests over the last century The aim of this study on human-environment interactions is to investigate the relationship between actors on the one side, their interests and demands, and the forests and forested lands on the other. Forest resource utilisation and management - and even the recognition of different forest products as resources - are connected with political and socioeconomic conditions that change with time. The walnut-fruit forests of South Kyrgyzstan are unique, characterised by high biodiversity and a multiplicity of usable products; and they have been utilised for a long time. Centralised and formal management of the forests started with the Russian occupation and was strengthened under Soviet rule, when the region became a part of the USSR. During this era, a state forest administration that was structured from Moscow all the way down to the local level drew up detailed plans and developed procedures for utilising the different forest products. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the socio-political and economic frame conditions have changed significantly, which has brought not only the sweeping changes in the managing institutions, but also the access rights and interests in the forest resources. At present, the region is suffering from a high unemployment rate, which has resulted in the forests＇ gaining considerable importance in the livelihood strategies of the local population. Political and economic liberalization, increased communication and transregional exchange relations have opened the door for international companies and agents interested in the valuable forest products. Today, walnut wood and burls, walnuts, wild apples and mushrooms are all exported to various countries in the world. Scientists and members of various international organisations stress the ecological value of the forests and are trying to establish nature conservation areas. Nevertheless, it is to fear that a multiplicity of interrelated factors - the present transformation and globalization processes, the appearance of new actors, the local population＇s insecure economic situation and the erosion of managing institutions - are all leading to an intensified and unregulated exploitation of the forests, resulting in their degradation.     

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.     

青春无悔天山情

四季更替，时光飞逝，50年的岁月弹指一挥间，在二六四大队迎来她的50华诞之时，虽然我年已迟暮，白发苍苍，但我曾为中国核地质事业奉献过自己的青春和汗水。从祖国西部边陲的新疆，到“渔米之乡”的浙江，再到原革命根据地江西赣南，都留下过我跋山涉水的足迹。回忆起当年工作期间的点点滴滴，尽管经受了不少风霜雪雨，辛酸苦辣，可我为自己曾是一名光荣的中国核地质事业工作者而感到骄傲和自豪，也为自己的人生感到无悔……

昆仑山口西8.1级地震的远程地下水动力学效应

对新疆北天山地区地下流体的动态观测资料进行分析 ,发现在 2 0 0 1年 11月 14日昆仑山口西 8.1级地震的震时和震后 ,多井水位、水温、流量出现大量异常变化 ,其特征主要表现为地震波的同震振动效应和震后阶跃变化。其中乌鲁木齐 10号井的地震波效应双振幅最大 ,为 185 mm,持续时间达 2个小时 ;0 4井水位阶跃上升幅度较大 ,为 0 .12 5 m,且具有不可逆特征。另外 ,对比了新疆及邻区 7级以上地震北天山地下水的震后效应 ,讨论了地下水远程效应与井震距离的关系以及阶跃异常的幅度等问题     

新疆北天山Ms≥5.0地震前的中长期地震活动空间图像特征

对新疆北天山l931年以来6级以上、l970年以来5级以上地震前的地震活动空间图像进行了分析，发现震前多有不同程度的地震空区或条带出现，其孕育时间一般为8－14年；震源深度呈现由浅而深、通常超过25km的变化，孕育时间一般为3—4年。同时对上述地震活动空间图像前兆特征的机理进行了定性分析，并对所选资料的精度等问题进研了讨论。     

天山西部中山带积雪变化趋势与气温和降水的关系——以巩乃斯河谷为例

根据位于巩乃斯河谷的天山积雪雪崩研究站近30年来的年最大雪深、月平均气温、月降水量观测记录，用平均差值法、最小二乘法、自回归滑动平均法检验了天山西部中山带积雪、冷季降水、冷季平均气温的变化趋势，结果表明，天山西部中山带积雪呈增加趋势，近30年来年平均增加1.43%，与青藏高原、南极大陆及格陵兰冰盖表面积雪积累增加相一致。天山西部中山带冷季气温和降水的变化趋势也是增加的，其中冷季降水平年平均增加0．12％，而冷季气温升高了0．8℃，积雪与冷季气温之间存在着弱的负相关关系，而与冷季降水呈显著的正相关关系。积雪的增加主要是因为气候变暖引起的冷季降水的增加对积雪增加的贡献大于由于冷季气温升高而造成积雪减少的贡献的结果。
