汪民在全国地质勘查管理座谈会上指出矿业权管理要依法予以规范

在7月16目召开的全国地质勘查管理座谈会上，国土资源部副部长汪民指出，按照我国法律法规，探矿权两级管理、采矿权四级管理，不存在初审问题。     

关于加强城镇国有土地收购储备工作的思考

土地收购储备制度，是我国各地政府为适应经济体制改革和经济增长方式的转变要求，促进城市土地集约利用而进行的积极探索。近年来，我国土地收购储备制度建设得到长足发展，从1996年全国第一个土地储备机构——上海土地发展中心成立至今，全国已建立的土地收购储备机构达1700多家，几乎所有城市政府都普遍开展了土地收购储备工作。收购储备制度的建立，增强了政府统一供地的力度，增加了政府的土地收益，为城市建设积聚了资金，推动了全市经济和社会的可持续发展。     

绿化黄河工程土地资源促进沿黄生态环境建设

1998年以来，国家加大对防洪工程建设投入的同时，也对工程环境保护和建设提出了更高的要求，防洪工程绿化建设已纳入了全国生态环境建设和城市总体规划，是生态建设和经济可持续发展的战略布置。它不仅可保持工程的完整，提高工程的防护性能，为抢险提供丰富的物料，而且绿化黄河沿岸，对改善生态环境，美化黄河景点，建立沿黄景观带，发展旅游观光业具有非常现实而且深远的意义，同时也是将黄河堤防建设成为防洪保安线、抢险交通线、生态景观线的重大举措。     

黑龙江省地下水资源可持续力战略问题研究

水资源是社会经济可持续发展的基础，特别是地下水资源在工农业和居民生活中起着重要作用。黑龙江省地下水资源分布和开采不平衡，但通过科学调配、合理利用，地下水资源能够满足国民经济可持续发展需求。     

STUDY ON DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF SHIPPING CENTERS AND TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS IN THE YELLOW SEA RIM IN THE YELLOW SEA RIM

It is very important to establish cooperative mechanism to guarantee all members to develop their e-conomies in the Yellow Sea Rim. In this paper, the development strategies ofshipplng centers and transportation networkare discussed based on economic giobalization tendency. The results argue that a united transportation network should bebuilt in order to promote the economic competition of Northeast Asia in the world. As a key component of the economiccooperation, a hierarchical shipping centers network should be established with Hong Kong, Shanghai, Pusan, Koho,and Tokyo as cores. The authorities of China, Japan, R. O. Korea and D. P. B. Korea should make more efforts tobuild a set of cooperation institutions based on raising the transportation efficiency.     

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.

干旱威胁乌干达经济增长和渔业出口

近期,一场罕见的持续干旱袭击了乌干达,它导致乌境内各主要水电站水位均偏低,水电供应紧张。由于干旱与接踵而至的电力能源危机,该国本财政年度国家经济增长指数将可能受到影响。专家警告说,由于接二连三的恶劣天气条件,乌干达2005～2006财政年度的GDP增长率有可能将创下十几年
