Assessment of man-made and natural hazards in the surroundings of hydropower projects under construction in the beas valley of northwestern Himalaya

Mountain ecosystem,on the earth,has plenty of natural resources. In Himachal Pradesh all the rivers are snowfed and therefore rich in water resources. These resources have been supporting enough for the generation of electricity through introducing hydropower projects since the last decade. However,every developmental activity has its own negative impacts on the surrounding environment. Due to the fragile nature of topography and delicacy of ecology of the Himalaya,it results in lot of disturbances because of high degree of human interferences like construction of major hydropower projects. The increased extent of geological hazards,such as landslides,rock fall and soil erosion,have mainly due to alike developmental interventions in the natural ecosystem. So understanding and analysing such impacts of the hydropower projects have mainly been on the environment in various forms but natural hazards have been frequent ones. The present study,therefore,focuses mainly on the Parbati Stage Ⅱ (800 MW) and the Parbati Stage Ⅲ (520 MW) hydropower projects; both of which fall within the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh. Based on the perception survey of the local communities,the existing land use pattern,status of total acquired land of the residents by hydropower projects,frequent natural hazards and resultant loss to the local communities due to upcoming construction of hydropower projects surrounding to the Parbati Stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ have been analysed in the paper. Also,the preventive measures to mitigate these adverse impacts have been suggested to strengthen these projects in eco-friendly manner in the mountain context.     

THE STATISTIC RELATION BETWEEN LIGHTNING AND CINRAD DOPPLER RADAR ECHOES IN CENTRAL GUANGDONG

Based on the CINRAD Doppler radar data in Guangzhou and the lightning data in 2004 by power suppliers of Guangdong, statistical study is done by overlaying lightning’s position on radar’s echo. The result shows the followings. The concentrated period in which more negative lightning occurred at the middle levels (2 – 14 km), where radar echo was moderate (12 – 45 dBz), rather than at the low levels with the weakest echoes or at high levels with the strongest echoes. At levels 3 – 11 km, where the radar echo was between 10 dBz and 35 dBz, the area of negative lightning was much larger in central Guangdong than in the rest of the province. At levels 0.5 – 7 km where the radar echoes were between 44 dBz and 51 dBz, the probability for a point to have negative lightning varies from 0.4 to 0.7.

鄂尔多斯盆地石炭纪中央古隆起形成机制

将鄂尔多斯盆地简化为受南北挤压的等厚各向同性弹性薄板模型进行应力—应变场数值模拟,力图揭示鄂尔多斯地区石炭纪出现的细腰状中央古隆起的形成机制。模拟中Z轴方向应变(εz)正值区对应于盆地内部的隆起区,zε正等值线形态对应于隆起形态;单轴挤压条件下,εz正等值线总会呈现沿应力轴方向延伸的细腰状形态;点作用力产生的zε正等值线范围局限,而线作用力产生的εz正值区分布较广。模拟结果表明鄂尔多斯盆地石炭纪细腰状隆起是在南北边界受挤压条件下,应力—应变在盆地内部传递过程中所必然出现的结果,南北向点作用力比南北向线作用力产生的zε等值线形态更接近于鄂尔多斯盆地中央古隆起形态;点作用力可能代表了石炭纪微板块间的点碰撞或者弧—陆碰撞。     

滇中郝家河砂岩型铜矿床成矿作用过程的流体包裹体证据

通过对牟定郝家河砂岩型铜矿床的不同结构构造及矿化类型岩石中矿物包裹体特征的研究及对比,认为不同结构构造及矿化类型岩石的形成与不同成岩-成矿阶段流体的演化特点密切相关。流体包裹体测温数据表明其成矿作用主要经历3个成矿流体演化阶段:成岩期(均一温度:84℃~162℃)、主改造期(均一温度:145℃~227℃)及次改造期(均一温度:129℃~177℃)。3期流体的盐度变化不大,多处于4%~10%之间,而它们的气相成分主要为H2O,其次为CH4和CO2。成岩期流体演化形成了砂岩铜矿的初始矿源层及贫矿体,矿化程度高的地方甚至形成浸染状或纹层状矿石;改造-成矿期的流体则在原来基础上进一步演化形成现今受构造控制的条带状、脉状富矿体。     

Evidence for the thrust emplacement of the ‘Lesser Himalaya’ Chur granite,Himachal Pradesh

Numerous peraluminous and porphyritic granitic bodies and augen gneisses of granitic compositions occur in the nappe sequences of the Lower Himalaya. They are Proterozoic-to-lower Paleozoic in age and have been grouped into the ‘Lesser Himalaya granite belt’. The mode of emplacement and tectonic significance of these granites are as yet uncertain but they are generally considered to be sheet-like intrusions into the surrounding rocks. The small and isolated granite body (the Chur granite) that crops out around the Chur peak in the Himachal Himalaya is one of the more famous of these granites. Several lines of evidence have been adduced to show that the Chur granite has a thrust (the Chur thrust) contact with the underlying metasedimentary sequence (locally called the Jutogh Group). The Chur granite with restricted occurrence at the highest topographic and structural levels represents an erosional remnant of a much larger sub-horizontal thrust sheet. The contact relations between the country rocks and many of the other granite and granitic augen gneisses in the Lesser Himalaya belt are apparently similar to that of the Chur granite suggesting that at least some of them may also represent thrust sheets.
