Structural control of the Gagua “Wedge” Zone east of Taiwan Island on the southern Okinawa Trough

The sea area east of Taiwan Island is a unique ac-tive arc-continental collision margin in China and even in the world with the NE-nearly EW extending Ryu-kyu trench-arc-backarc basin system on the east and the nearly N-S extending Manila trough and Luzon arc on the west. The sea area east of Taiwan Island differs from the Ryukyu trench-arc-basin system in structural property, but there is a certain genetic relation between the two (Fig. 1)[1-3]. Since the 1990s, many investigations and …     

Assessment of some spatial and temporal issues in landslide initiation within the Río Aguas Catchment, South–East Spain

A research programme underway in south–east Spain has the overall aim of developing a long-term landscape evolution model for the Tertiary depositional basins that lie within the eastern part of the Betic cordillera. As part of the work it has become apparent that there are multiple natural hazards to development in the region, and the nature and distribution of these is presently under investigation. For one hazard, namely landsliding, a database of over 300 cases has been compiled within one defined 425 km² river catchment, namely the Río Aguas. Evaluation of the database has demonstrated that the contemporary distribution of landslides correlates with areas of steepest slopes across a range of the different lithologies. However, the “slope” component of the landscape is controlled by a wave of incision associated with a river capture event c. 100000 years ago which locally increased erosion by between 5 and 10 times. This event was a function of differential uplift between the depositional basins and resulted in over-steepened slopes within parts of the catchment which have yet to reach equilibrium in this evolving landscape.     

东北夏季降水异常的年代际、年际构成及成因分析

利用NCEE／NCAR再分析月平均海平面气压资料、中国160站月降水资料、英国气象局和英国大气资料中心月平均海表温度资料，使用周期分析、奇异值分解和旋转EOF分析方法，分析了东北夏季降水异常的年代际、年际构成及成因。结果表明：(1)东北夏季降水异常构成中年代际、年际变化相对均衡，在局地年际变率中，东、南部年代际变化略强于西、北部。(2)在年代际、年际尺度上，东亚夏季风增强(减弱)，则东北降水偏多(偏少)。(3)E1 Nino事件与东北区夏季风异常无直接联系．故与东北夏季降水关系不密切。     

西藏地区汛期雨型划分与全国夏季雨带的关系

利用西藏地区1961～2000年汛期（5～9月）降水资料,采用EOF分析方法并结合降水距平百分率,分析全区汛期降水的空间分布特征,确定了西藏地区汛期的主要雨型,与全国夏季雨带进行对比,发现两者之间存在特定的关系.     

西北地区东部干旱化与天气体系演变的关系

用EOF、PDF和场相似理论相结合的方法，分析了近20a来西北地区东部夏季代表月份干旱化与天气体系演变的关系。指出夏季代表月份东亚大气环流存在两类天气体系(Weather Regimes)，即A类和B类。A类与西北地区东部干旱环流型相对应；B类与西北地区东部偏涝环流型相联系。研究结果表明：近20a来，西北地区东部夏季代表月份与天气体系A型(干旱型)正相似日数有逐渐增多的趋势，与天气体系B型（偏涝型）正相似日数趋于减少。     

Structural control of the Gagua "Wedge" Zone east of Taiwan Island on the southern Okinawa Trough

Based on compositive analysis and interpretation of the observed and historical data, the geophysical field characters and structural properties of the Gagua "Wedge" Zone of the sea area east of Taiwan Island and the primary tectonic stress direction and its variabilities of backarc spreading in the southern Okinawa Trough are studied. It is concluded from the study results that the Gagua "Wedge" Zone is structurally consistent with the Gagua ridge and two fault basins on both sides of the Gagua ridge, and adjusts the moving direction and distance of the western Philippine Sea plate to make the northwestward motion of the plate on its east side change to the northward subduction of the plate on its west side so that the primary tectonic stress direction of the Okinawa Trough changed from NW-SE to nearly N-S, which provided the stress source for the Okinawa Trough to enter the second spreading stage.

甘肃省三危山断裂带东段--片石山一带的韧性变形特征

三危山断裂隶属阿尔金断裂体系，处于华北板块与塔里木板块的结合部位。在玉门镇幅1／250000的区域地质调查中，发现三危山断裂带东段一甘肃省玉门镇片石山一带存在着早古生代和晚古生代两期不同性质、不同层次、不同构造组合样式的韧性变形。
