矿山地理信息系统中的空间和时间四维数据模型

现有的许多地理信息系统（GISs）一般都没有考虑时间这一维数据。本文依据矿山的特点和需求，提出了能满足空间和时间要求的GIS的概念。针对传统数据模型所存在的缺点，以及根据处理历史数据所具有的特点，提出了一种用于矿业开发的空间和时间综合四维数据模型。这种模型通过采用四维空间线性编码技术，可大大减少数据存贮所需的辅助操作。为了适应综合四维数据处理的需要，笔者研究出了一种新的拓扑结构——四维空间和时间因素的拓扑关系。     

双等距离投影及其应用

双等距离投影是指自图上两定点出发至图上任意点间的距离都与实地等长的投影。本文先从球面极坐标出发，讨论了双等距离投影公式的建立，继而给出了在地理坐标下的正轴和斜轴投影计算方法。本文证明了该投影的性质属任意投影，其计算方法是可行的，有实用价值。双等距离投影在测量上可用于圆圆系统定位，在军事上可用于敌情监测等。

Wavepath traveltime tomography

The elastic-wave equation is used to construct sensitivity kernels relating perturbations in elastic parameters to traveltime deviations. Computation of the functions requires a correlation of the forward-propagating seismic wavefield with a backward propagation of the residual wavefield. The computation of the wavefields is accomplished using a finite difference algorithm and is efficiently executed on a CM-2 parallel processor. The source and receiver locations have maximum sensitivity to velocity structure. The sensitivity kernels or wavepaths are well suited for transmission traveltime inversion such as cross-borehole tomography and vertical seismic profiling. Conventional ray tomography and wavepath tomography are applied to a set of P -wave arrival times, from a cross-borehole experiment at Kesterson, California. Because the wavepaths have increased sensitivity near the source and receiver there are differences in resolution of the velocity structure. Both techniques recover the same relative variations in velocity where the coverage is adequate. The wavepath solution is more laterally continuous and the dominant variation is vertical, as is expected for the layered sediments in this region.     

The magnetotelluric dispersion relations over 2-D structures

The causal properties of the magnetotelluric response, first derived by Weidelt, and Fischer & Schnegg in the 1-D limit, are confirmed numerically in the 2-D limit for the particular structure consisting of two uniform quarter spaces. This finding is of interest from several points of view: (1) the dispersion relations in their 1-D form seem to retain their validity for all 2-D tensor elements, irrespective of any rotation of the coordinate system chosen at the surface; in particular, (2) they appear equally valid for the E- and B-polarization configurations. (3) Whereas the question recently debated in the literature (whether the Earth can always be considered as a linear, passive and causal system) is perhaps not yet entirely resolved, the present empirical demonstration suggests that it may in general be safe to apply the 1-D dispersion relations to structures with 2-D character.     

Simple analytical Green's functions for ray perturbations in layered media

The total Green's function for two-point boundary-value problems can be related to the propagator for initial-value problems. A very simple expression for the Green's function is obtained when the unperturbed medium may be described by material with a constant gradient in quadratic slowness. The derivation requires a correct understanding of assumptions made in the propagator solution. Expressions are also obtained for Green's function in multilayered media.     

Observations of geomagnetic pulsations and variations with a new borehole magnetometer down to depths of 3000 m

b
A triaxial magnetometer has been developed for investigating the in situ skin effect of horizontal geomagnetic pulsations and variations in deep boreholes. The observations were carried out in the pilot borehole of the Continental Deep Drilling Program of Germany (KTB) down to depths of 3000 m and up to temperature of 90 C. A weak skin effect, due to the known very low conductivity of the penetrated crystalline rocks, of 90 to 95 per cent in amplitude and -5 to -10 rotation in phase has been observed at periods of 10 s and magnetometer depth of 2400 m.
An essential prerequisite for all calculations is the accurate determination of the orientation of the downhole magnetometer. It is demonstrated how oriented record samples of temporal variations at depth correlate precisely with those from the surface.
Results from surface magnetotelluric (MT) investigations show strong local distortions of the telluric field. The distortion of the MT tensor response has been determined by means of newly introduced skin-effect transfer functions, which are assumed to be undistorted.     

Late Quaternary kinematics of the Pallatanga strike-slip fault (Central Ecuador) from topographic measurements of displaced morphological features

The northeast-trending Pallatanga right-lateral strike-slip fault runs across the Western Cordillera connecting N50E-N70E trending normal faults in the Gulf of Guayaquil with N-S reverse faults in the Interandean Depression. Over most of its length, the fault trace has been partly obscured by erosional processes and can be inferred in the topography only at the large scale. Only the northern fault segment, which follows the upper Rio Pangor valley at elevations above 3600 m, is prominent in the morphology. Valleys and ridges cut and offset by the fault provide an outstanding record of right-lateral cumulative fault displacement. The fault geometry and kinematics of this particular fault segment can be determined from detailed topographic levellings. The fault strikes N30E and dips 75 to the NW. Depending on their size and nature, transverse morphological features such as tributaries of the Rio Pangor and intervening ridges, reveal right-lateral offsets which cluster around 27 ± 11m, 41.5 ± 4 m, 590 ± 65 m and 960 ± 70 m. The slip vector deduced from the short-term offsets shows a slight reverse component with a pitch of about 11.5 SW. The 41.5 ± 4 m displacements are assumed to be coeval with the last glacial termination, yielding a mean Holocene slip-rate of 2.9- 4.6 mm yr⁻¹. Assuming a uniform slip rate on the fault in the long term, the 27 m offset appears to correlate with an identified middle Holocene morphoclimatic event, and the long term offsets of 590 m and 960 m coincide with the glacial terminations at the beginning of the last two interglacial periods.
