An Electronic Chart Display and Information System

This article introduces the most advanced form of electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS) which complies with the performance standards for ECDIS established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). It also describes the key features and the important functions of ECDIS, which we developed. This system is different from the productions developed by C-map, Seven-cs, offshore, and others. It is more suitable for China Marine Safety Administration Bureau to manage the navigation marks real-time. Using this system charts were located and accessed rapidly, and displayed smoothly. This article also discusses in ECDIS application system how to dynamically access and desert charts data in a limited memory (limited computer memory and resource). We constructed a tridimensional structure to manage a large amount of charts data. Vertically, according to the scale range, all charts were divided into eight levels, and a data structure called as “Multiple Scale Quad-tree” was constructed. And horizontally, a grid (every unit has a fixed size) was given to a certain scale level. We call this data structure a “Regular Page.” We explore the implementation of such a structure on the worldwide charts management utilizing quad-trees. Then we discuss the future development of ECDIS and its application system in marine agencies in China.     

Using spectral information from the NIR water absorption features for the retrieval of canopy water content

Canopy water content (CWC) is important for mapping and monitoring the condition of the terrestrial ecosystem. Spectral information related to the water absorption features at 970 nm and 1200 nm offers possibilities for deriving information on CWC. In this study, we compare the use of derivative spectra, spectral indices and continuum removal techniques for these regions. Hyperspectral reflectance data representing a range of canopies were simulated using the combined PROSPECT + SAILH model. Best results in estimating CWC were obtained by using spectral derivatives at the slopes of the 970 nm and 1200 nm water absorption features. Real data from two different test sites were analysed. Spectral information at both test sites was obtained with an ASD FieldSpec spectrometer, whereas at the second site HyMap airborne imaging spectrometer data were also acquired. Best results were obtained for the derivative spectra. In order to avoid the potential influence of atmospheric water vapour absorption bands the derivative of the reflectance on the right slope of the canopy water absorption feature at 970 nm can best be used for estimating CWC.     

基于圆增长特征的点状要素群选取算法

控制点、独立地物等在地图上呈点群状表达,如何高效、合理地实现此类要素的自动综合是地图多尺度表达的重要问题。文中在前人研究的基础上,提出一种基于圆增长特征的点状要素群结构化选取算法,实现点状要素群的自动选取。其基本原理是：根据一个点与其周围点重要性程度的比较来确定该点删除与否,从而确保其拓扑关系和几何信息的正确性。实验证明：该算法实用、有效。     

北祁连中段浪力克—牛头山一带地球化学特征

近年来,部署在重要成矿区带的1：5万区域矿产调查在全国陆续展开,这对提高地质矿产研究程度,进一步圈定找矿靶区具有重要意义。其中要求进行1：5万水系沉积物测量、高精度地面磁测、自然重砂测量和遥感异常提取。本文以甘青交界的浪力克一牛头山一带1：5万区域矿产调查中水系沉积物测量实际资料为依据,探讨了浪力克铜矿区及其区域地球化学特征,认为Cu、Pb、Zn、Au、Ag异常分布与含铜火山岩系分布一致,异常规模显示该矿外围仍具有较大的找矿潜力。

以耿皇勘探区钻孔资料为基础,对该区煤系地层沉积环境及成煤条件进行分析,简述了本区煤系地层是在海退基础上,以三角洲为主体的三角洲相与泻湖海湾潮坪相相互交替的沉积体系,通过对该特点的分析研究,为今后地质勘探和煤矿开采提供了借鉴和依据。     

鄂尔多斯盆地西南部上三叠统延长组长8、长6油层组 的沉积体系与物源方向

野外露头剖面的岩石学与岩相组合,沉积特征与相标志,古流向测定,室内砂岩的骨架矿物、重矿物组合及其平面分布规律的研究结果表明：鄂尔多斯盆地西南部上三叠统延长组长8油层组是以线状或点状物源为特征的一套近源快速堆积的冲积扇与扇三角洲沉积体系,形成于盆地由快速拗陷转入逆冲负荷沉降期间。长8沉积期盆地西南部的古水流与物源主要来自盆地西南方向,其次为西北和东南方向。长6油层组沉积期,盆地内部底床下沉作用减缓,湖盆开始收缩,湖盆西岸除北部有少量扇三角洲沉积外,主要为辫状河三角洲沉积：而盆地东北部与东部的沉积作用大大加强,致使在盆地东部形成一系列大型曲流河三角洲沉积体系,至盆地西南部相变为半深湖-深湖相与浊流相沉积。长6沉积期古水流除来自西南、西北和东南方向外．还有来自北东和正东方向的次要物源,它们在盆地西南部悦乐-玄马-板桥-固城-合水-带汇合,使该地带成为混合物源区。     

盘县马依东二井田构造特征及成因分析

利用井田勘探资料及野外地质资料,对井田构造基本形态、断层发育特征及其分布规律进行分析,总结出该井田的构造模式、构造成因、构造组合特征及其演化规律。研究认为井田的构造格局是多期构造运动综合作用、相互叠加的结果。井田构造形态为一略有起伏的平缓单斜,区内NE向的高角度正断层,多属张扭性,EW向构造早于NE向构造,构造复合部位较复杂,其余区段较简单;伸展构造是井田构造的主体样式,这一结论对下一步继续勘探及煤矿开采具有指导意义。     

应用综合勘查方法分析平朔安太堡三号井工矿突水原因

平朔公司安太堡三号井工矿2007年3月在首采工作面辅运顺槽掘进时,迎头冒顶突水,初期突水量达6000～8000m^3/d,将1289．16m标高以下淹没。在分析研究区地层、构造及水文地质条件的基础上,对沙沟河道进行了渗漏观测,对地表排污水、沟水和井下突水点的水质进行了分析化验,有针对性的布置了6条物探线,最后进行了钻孔验证,综合分析认为突水水源主要为大沙沟河道的侧向补给,突水通道为NW向的强风化带。提出了加大井下排水,地表对大沙沟河进行土工膜防渗处理的综合治理措施。     

Ostracode carbonate δ18O- and δ13C-signature of hydrological and climatic changes affecting Lake Neuchâtel,Switzerland, since the latest Pleistocene

Floating and grounded peat plateaus were studied in fens in the Yukon Territory (Canada). The peat deposit may be over 4 m thick and consists of a lower bed of aquatic peat overlain by humic fen peat, mesic fen peat and woody peat. Permafrost in the grounded peat plateaus is older than the 1200 year old White River Ash, whereas permafrost in the floating peat plateau is younger.Peat accumulation rates since 1200 years B.P. were greater in the fens (85–100 cm) than on the surface of the peat plateaus (25–55 cm). Where the peat plateau is free-floating, it will persist until the climate changes, causing the icy core to thaw. Where the peat plateau is frozen to the mineral substrate, it slowly drowns since the fen peat accumulates faster than the woody peat. This drowning results in degradation of the landform independently of the climate. Only degradation of floating peat plateaus can be used to identify climatic changes.This publication is the first paper in a series of papers presented at the session on Past Climatic Change and the Development of Peatlands at the ASLO and SWS Meetings in Edmonton, Canada, May 30–June 3, 1993.
