Tree-ring crossdates for a First Millennium AD advance of Tebenkof Glacier, southern Alaska

Tree-ring crossdates from glacially killed logs show that Tebenkof Glacier advanced into a forefield forest in the AD 710s and 720s. Recession from this First Millennium AD (FMA) advance occurred before the 950s, after which the ice margin readvanced in the 1280s to 1320s at the start of the Little Ice Age (LIA). A more extensive LIA advance was underway from the 1640s to 1670s, and the terminus stayed at or near its LIA maximum until the 1890s. These are the first absolute tree-ring crossdates for a FMA glacier advance in North America and support growing evidence from northwestern North America and Europe for a significant cool interval in the centuries around AD 500.     

Climate and causation in the Swedish Iron Age: learning from the present to understand the past

The paper reassesses the role of climate as a factor shaping changes in settlement and landscape in the Swedish Iron Age (500 BC–AD 1050). Two reasons motivate this re-evaluation. First, high-resolution data based on climate proxies from the natural sciences are now increasingly available. Second, the climate-related social sciences have yielded conceptual and theoretical developments regarding vulnerability and adaptability in the present and recent past, creating new ways to analyse the effects of climatic vs. societal factors on societies in the more distant past. Recent research in this field is evaluated and the explicitly climate deterministic standpoint of many recent natural science texts is criticized. Learning from recent approaches to climate change in the social sciences is crucial for understanding society–climate relationships in the past. The paper concludes that we are not yet in a position to fully evaluate the role of the new evidence of abrupt climate change in 850 BC, at the beginning of the Iron Age. Regarding the crisis in the mid-first millennium AD, however, new climate data indicate that a dust veil in AD 536–537 might have aggravated the economic and societal crisis known from previous research.     

相位法激光测距信号源系统研究

为了使相位式激光测距获得更好的调制信号源,采用了基于单片机控制DDA芯片AD9851产生频率可调,相位可控的信号源,由于DDS具有噪声低,频率分辨率高,易于编程等优点,根据实际需要,通过给AD9851编程获得不同的频率,满足不同距离的测量.由于获得的信号源中存在着高频杂散信号,设计了最接近理想特性的椭圆低通滤波器,并给...     

榆木山北缘断裂古地震特征研究

榆木山北缘断裂位于祁连山主体山系以北的榆木山北部边缘.断裂活动形成一系列沿山前发育的断层陡坎.通过探槽剖面对发生在该断裂带上的古地震事件进行了分析,大致可以确定全新世以来的2次古地震事件.事件Ⅰ的年代为距今(4.066±0.086)ka;事件Ⅱ为距今(6.852±0.102)ka至(6.107±0.082)ka之间.该...

1718年通渭M7.5地震滑坡特征分析——黄土高原历史强震触发滑坡数据库的应用

利用新技术、新方法,研究历史强震的发震构造及震害,是修订历史强震震源参数的重要内容.本文以1718年通渭M 7.5地震滑坡为研究对象,采用地质学“将今论古”原理,基于历史文献分析、遥感解译、野外验证等方法获得通渭地震滑坡数据库.研究发现,(1)总解译滑坡数量5019处,总面积635 km^2,滑坡密集沿通渭断裂分布,与X度等震线吻合,但范围均向西、向北各扩展约20 km;(2)与2008年汶川M8地震滑坡相比,面积<10^3 m^2的滑坡大量缺失,面积10^3~10^4 m^2的滑坡部分缺失,面积>10^4 m^2的滑坡数量相当;(3)尽管通渭地震滑坡数据库并不完整,但是能够反映极震区中大型滑坡的总体特征,可据此确定极震区范围;(4)通渭地震极震区至少有27处以“泄山”等记录地震滑坡的地名,这些受滑坡影响的居民点集中在通渭断裂两侧,占比超过50%,是致7万人死亡的重要致灾因素.研究认为,在黄土高原地区,确认密集的中大型滑坡体可能由单次历史强震触发,且排除其他远场强震影响之后,可以利用现今多时相的高分辨率卫星影像解译获得“相对完整”的历史地震滑坡数据库,为历史强震震源参数的修订提供基础资料.     

基于DDS技术的噪声分析及抑噪实现

直接数字合成(DDS)是一种重要的频率合成技术,具有分辨率高、频率变换快等优点,在雷达、海洋ADCP及通信等领域有着广泛的应用前景。文中对DDS技术所含有的噪声进行了剖析,并得出结论,在量化字长一定的情况下,产生波形的频率误差与参考频率有很大的关系,参考频率越高,波形质量越好,并且当信号的当参考时钟频率与所发射波形频率之比小于10：1时,波形会产生明显的失真;针对DDs技术的噪声,结合具体的数字合成芯片AD9854,提出了一种设计Butterworth滤波器去噪的方法,该方法简单,易行,具有良好的通用性。
