Identification of hydrogeochemical zones in postglacial buried valley aquifer (Wielkopolska Buried Valley aquifer,Poland)

This article presents the difficulty in identifying the hydrochemical zoning of a semi-confined aquifer, characterised by a relative small spatial differentiation of groundwater chemistry. It is shown that multivariate statistical methods can be used for the recognition and interpretation of the groundwater chemistry distribution in an aquifer. The hydrochemical zonation caused by both natural and anthropogenic processes was identified using factor analyses in combination with a classical interpretation of the hydrogeological material. The interpretation of the groundwater chemistry allows both identification of the aquifer recharge mechanism and verification of the groundwater-flow system.     

RETRACTED ARTICLE: The hydrochemical framework of surface water basins in southern Ghana

Surface water resources play a crucial role in the domestic water delivery system in Ghana. In addition, sustainable food production is based on the quality and quantity of water resources available for irrigation purposes to supplement rain-fed agricultural activities in the country. The objective of this research was to determine the main controls on the hydrochemistry of surface water resources in the southern part of Ghana and assess the quality of water from these basins for irrigation activities in the area. R-mode factor and cluster analyses were applied to 625 data points from 6 river basins in southern Ghana after the data had been log transformed and standardized for homogeneity. This study finds that surface water chemistry in the south is controlled by the chemistry of silicate mineral weathering, chemistry of rainfall, fertilizers from agricultural activities in the area, as well as the weathering of carbonate minerals. A Gibb’s diagram plotted with total dissolved solids (TDS) on the vertical axis against (Na⁺ + K⁺)/(Ca²⁺ + K⁺ + Na⁺) on the horizontal axis indicates that rock weathering plays a significant role in the hydrochemistry. Activity diagrams for the CaO–Na₂O–Al₂O–SiO₂–H₂O and CaO–MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–H₂O systems suggest that kaolinite is the most stable clay mineral phase in the system. In addition, an assessment of the irrigation quality of water from these basins suggests that the basins are largely low sodium—low to medium salinity basins, delivering water of acceptable quality for irrigation purposes.     

任意复杂介质中主能量法地震波走时计算

积分法叠前深度偏移及层析成像的核心是复杂介质情况下的地震波走时计算. 复杂构造的高精度地震成像需要有稳健的走时计算方法。本文把 Nichols提出的用地震波主能量计算走时的方法由二维推广到三维,并推导出三维波动方程Helmholtz形式在球坐标系下用因式分解法求解的差分表达式.三维SEG/EAGE盐丘模型的理论走时计算和积分法叠前深度偏移的实践都验证了本文方法的正确性.

通过对松华坝水源保护区2001-2007年的两个监测断面水质进行因子分析,两个断面8项水质指标中TN均超标,其余水质指标均未超标。使用SPSS13．0工具进行分析,结果显示,两个监测断面的主要污染因子各异,牧羊河断面的主要污染物为TN和TP,而冷水河断面的主要污染物为CODMn、BOD5和TP。松华坝水源保护区水质保护形势十分严峻。必须高度重视,采取切实措施,处理好水源区保护和发展的关系,保护好松华坝水源保护区水质,确保昆明市民饮水安全。     

Soil contamination by toxic metals in the cultivated region of Agia, Thessaly, Greece. Identification of sources of contamination

A soil geochemical survey was undertaken in the cultivated region of Agia in Thessaly area, Central Greece. The objectives of the study were to assess the levels of soil contamination in respect to average concentrations of toxic metals in the region, to determine the associations between the different toxic elements and their spatial distribution and to identify possible sources of contamination that can explain the spatial patterns of soil pollution in the area. One hundred seventy three soil samples were collected and analysed by ICP-AES after digestion with a mixture of HClO₄–HNO₃–H₂O. The study focused on eleven elements (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn, As, V, Cr, Fe and Mg) and all of them except Pb have mean concentrations above the average global soil composition. The elements Ni, Cr, Mn and V show concentrations that according to G.L.C guidelines the Agia soils are classified as slightly contaminated to contaminated. Factor analysis explained 84.02% of the total variance of the data through four factors. Combined with spatial interpretation of its output, the method successfully grouped the elements according to their sources and provided evidence about their natural or anthropogenic origin.     

Main Factors Affecting the Distribution of the Macroscopic Destruction Field of Earthquake

It is proposed that some possible macroseismic epicenters can be determined quickly from the relationship that the microseismic epicenters located by instruments bear with faults.Based on these so-called macroseismic epicenters,we can make fast seismic hazard estimation after a shock by use of the empirical distribution model of seismic intensity.In comparison with the method that uses the microseismic epicenters directly,this approach can increase the preccision of fast seismic hazard estimation.Statistical analysis of 133 main earthquakes in China was made.The result shows that the deviation distance between the microseismic epicenter and macroseismic epicenter falls within the range of 35km for 88% earthquakes of the total and within the range of 35to 75km for the remaining ones.Then,we can take the area that has the microseismic epicenter as its center and is 35km in radius as the area for emphatic analysis,and take the area within 75km around the microseismic epicenter as the area for general analysis.The relation between the 66 earthquake cases on the N-S Seismic Belt in China and the spatial distribution characteristics of faults and the results of focal mechanism solution were analyzed in detail.We know from the analysis that the error of instrumental epicenter determination is not the only factor that gives effects to the deviation of the macroseismic epicenter.In addiditon to it,the fault size,fault distribution,fault activity,fault intersection types,earthquake magnitude,etc,are also main affecting factors.By sorting out ,processing and analyzing these affecting factors,the principle and procedures for quickly determining the possible position of the macroseismic epicenter were set up.Taking these as a basis and establishing a nationwide database of faults that contains relevant factors,it is possible to apply this method in practical fast estimation of seismic hazard.     

强风化条件下基性岩的识别方法—以赞比亚卡皮萨比地区为例

赞比亚卢菲利安弧中西段有大量辉长岩体发育。由于本区风化严重,辉长岩常被厚土壤层覆盖。辉长岩中的铜含量常高于其沉积围岩,易于形成铜异常。为了将辉长岩形成的异常与矿致异常区别开,有必要对土壤覆盖层下的辉长岩进行识别。作者对卡皮萨比地区的化探数据采用相关分析和因子分析进行了研究,认为铜异常与基性岩浆作用有关。根据野外地质观察、音频大地电磁测量、高精度磁法测量、槽探和钻探等工作,认为:地表砖红色土壤、高磁高阻地质体和Sc-Ti-V-Fe-Co-Ni-Cu的元素组合是识别强风化条件下隐伏基性岩体的标志。     

GIS支持下基于CF方法的2013年芦山地震滑坡因子敏感性分析

本文依据研究区现有地形因子(高程、坡度、坡向、斜坡曲率)、地质因子(岩性、距深大活动断裂距离)和地震因子(PGA、距震中距离)等相关影响因子资料并结合地震区基本情况,以GIS技术作为操作平台,采用确定性系数法,开展较为详细的芦山地震区地震滑坡影响因子敏感性分析工作。首先,以GIS技术作为操作平台将地震滑坡的8个影响因子据研究区特征进行分级,构建不同影响因子分级的栅格图层进行地震滑坡分布相关参数统计; 其次,采用确定性系数法计算8个地震滑坡影响因子分级区间对应的CF值,分别提取出地震滑坡最为敏感分级区间以进行地震滑坡影响因子敏感性分析,从而衡量不同影响因子分级区间对地震滑坡易发性敏感程度。地震滑坡影响因子敏感性分析结果表明,除斜坡曲率因子与距震中距离因子对地震滑坡易发性不敏感外,其他6个影响因子对地震滑坡易发性均很敏感,分别是影响滑坡发生的主要地形、地质和地震因子。针对斜坡曲率因子和距震中距离因子对滑坡的易发性不是很敏感是否受内部其他影响因子限制所进行的分析与讨论结果表明,SW向很可能限制了斜坡曲率对地震滑坡易发性的敏感程度,地层岩性对距震中距离因子限制作用更为明显,除奥陶系、志留系外的地层岩性对距震中距离因子敏感性程度都有限制。文章所得成果具有一定的方法理论意义,对于防震减灾工作也具有一定参考意义。     

城市天空开阔度矢量/栅格估算方法对比

城市天空开阔度（Sky View Factor,SVF）是重要的城市形态学参数,为了找出高效可靠的方法定量分析城市天空开阔度,对比了矢量与栅格两种估算方法在城市天空开阔度估算与制图中的表现。以福建省晋江市为例,选取了软件计算法中的矢量计算法和栅格计算法对天空开阔度进行估算,并在结果的宏观分布规律、不同方法结果数值差异、不同分辨率结果一致性几方面进行对比分析。结果表明：与栅格估算法相比,矢量估算方法估算结果与城市建筑结构相符合,估算结果数据分布规律更合理,不同分辨率结果一致性更高,在较高的分辨率下更适应城市天空开阔度定量分析与制图的需要;但在低分辨率情况下,两种方法直接计算结果的代表性都极低。
