土楔和冰楔假形及其古气候意义

由于土楔及冰楔所处冻土的含冰状况不同,二者对冻土退化的响应不同。土楔的形状及大小乃至其中的充填物可以完整地保存下来,而冰楔在融化过程中经受强烈变形,其原形状很难保存下来,以至无法辨认。已报道的冰楔假形中,有相当部分可能是原生土脉,甚至是活动层土楔。冰楔在多年冻土环境下生长,其假形可以指示古冻土曾存在过。但它与温度之间没有简单的对应关系,因为楔形构造的形成是地-气综合因素相互作用之结果。土楔可以是原生的,也可以是次生的,它与多年冻土环境并无必然联系。     

大连地区某些石英岩底面的类似沟模,槽模现象

笔者在从事地质教学和地质录像过程中，于１９８８年在浅水沉积的砂岩底面发现了类似沟模、槽模现象，与国内沉积岩石学教科书引用的国外沟模、槽模实便有两点不同之处：①所见沟模是水流冲刷模而不是工具压刻模；②所见沟模、槽模下伏沉积物质是砂质的而不是泥质的。该现象的发现是对沟模、槽模现象的补充和完善，对探讨沟模槽模、的成因及填补国内沉积岩石学教科书缺少的国内沟模、槽模实例的空白很有意义。     

碳酸盐岩铸体薄片面孔自动提取研究

岩石孔隙是储层储集油气的重要场所,通过铸体薄片进行岩石孔隙结构分析对储层质量评价具有重要意义。碳酸盐岩孔隙结构较为复杂,铸体薄片图像中存在大量噪声和干扰因素,致使常规方法面孔提取效果不佳,因此本文引入一种多阈值铸体薄片面孔自动提取方法（ctsPore方法）进行孔隙区域提取和面孔率估计,方法综合利用HSV色彩空间中不同参数提取孔隙区域。本文针对碳酸盐岩储层的特点确定了一套ctsPore阈值参数,以解决溶蚀孔与噪声易混淆的问题。实验以伊拉克A油田中新统 Asmari组A段碳酸盐储层为例对所使用算法进行了效果检验。算法精度和效率分析实验表明,基于ctsPore方法的碳酸盐岩铸体薄片面孔提取误差小于0.24%。全井段铸体薄片分析结果表明,A段储层面孔率范围主要分布在6%~8%,储层较为致密,从上到下A1~A3小层的储层平均面孔率分别为6. 9%、11.7%、5.4%,与储层物性、沉积微相和岩性等纵向分布规律较为吻合。

阴影消除植被指数(SEVI)去除地形本影和落影干扰的性能评估与应用

地形校正是崎岖山区遥感图像预处理的关键步骤。为了评估基于DEM数据的经验校正模型、山地辐射传输模型和波段组合优化计算模型在去除地形阴影效应方面的性能,并将其应用于福州市植被覆盖监测,本文采用C模型（和SCS+C模型）、6S+C模型和阴影消除植被指数（SEVI）进行评估、比较。采用1999年和2014年两期Landsat 5 TM卫星数据和相关的 30 m ASTER GDEM V2高程数据,分别计算了C校正（和SCS+C校正）和6S+C校正后的归一化植被指数（NDVI）和比值植被指数（RVI）以及基于表观反射率数据的SEVI。通过目视比较、光谱特征比较以及太阳入射角余弦值（cos i）与植被指数的线性回归分析,可以看出C模型和SCS+C模型对本影具有较好的校正效果,但对落影的校正效果欠佳。NDVI和RVI的本影与邻近无阴影阳坡的相对误差分别从71.64%、52.57%降至4.80%、6.43%（C模型）和0.50%、9.94%（SCS + C模型）,而落影与邻近无阴影阳坡的相对误差分别从62.01%、47.57%降至31.05%、24.40%（C模型）和33.42%、16.01%（SCS + C模型）。在NDVI的落影校正效果上,6S+C模型比C模型和SCS+C模型有一定的提升,本影与邻近无阴影阳坡之间的相对误差为8.63%,落影与邻近无阴影阳坡之间的相对误差为14.27%。而SEVI在消除本影和落影方面整体效果更好,本影和落影与邻近无阴影阳坡的相对误差分别为9.86%和10.53%。最后,基于SEVI对福州市1999-2014年的植被覆盖变化进行了监测。监测结果表明： ① 1999-2014年植被覆盖增加了893.61 km ²,植被增加区域主要分布在海拔250~1250 m范围内;② SEVI均值在坡度40°附近达到峰值。     

黄土高原北缘中部末次冰期冰楔假型的发现及意义

冰楔假型是反映古气候环境的重要标志,其蕴涵的气候地层信息对地貌演化过程具有重要的指示意义。通过对黄土高原北缘中部环江T1阶地上新发现的冰楔假型群特征的研究和光释光(OSL)测年,结果显示这些发育在冲积砂砾石中的冰楔假型的充填砂体的年代为 (30.01±3.31) ka B.P.,形成环境推测当时的年平均地温比现今要低17.7 ℃。该冰楔假型的发现也为末次冰期阶段性冻土南界的位置和变迁提供了证据。另外,据冰楔与阶地冲积物的关系推测,在冰楔形成的冰冻期河流阶地的堆积缓慢甚至停滞,在(28.64±3.13) ka B.P.之后的气候温暖期河流快速下切、T1阶地形成。这为河流阶地成因机制的探讨提供了依据,反映了气候波动对阶地发育的控制。

Protracted Environmental Issues on a Proposed Titanium Minerals Development in Kenya's South Coast

This study takes cognizance of the fact that the TIOMIN (TIOMIN Resources Inc. of Canada) project has resulted in controversy over its handling of environmental issues and especially the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The authors address many of the protracted issues that have slowed the development of the mining project in Kwale. The main emphasis is on the impacts of the mining and mineral separation processes on the environment, including the governing legislation, the role of consultation and public participation, and socioeconomic issues. In their public documents TIOMIN has specified neither the type of minerals it wants to extract from the area nor their chemical composition. It is well known, however that the titanium minerals and zircon targeted have impurities of iron, thorium and uranium. In the absence of an Environmental Management Plan, the effects of stockpiling radioactive wastes and other impurities that could possibly lead to environmental degradation in both the terrestrial and marine environments have not been publically addressed. The measures proposed to mitigate ecological damage as a result of the establishment of a minerals processing plant in the area seem inadequate. Pollution resulting from accidental spillage or breakage could have significant impact on marine life and residents living near the mining site. Other issues that have not been addressed satisfactorily pertain to the use of surface and underground water. The area already faces a huge water deficit and the calculations presented on aquifer recharge and stream flow rates do not indicate the large quantities of water that would be required in the mineral processing plant. The project, if approved in its present state, risks violation of international conventions. Furthermore, it could cause a conflict between Kenya and Tanzania in the event of an oil spill at the proposed ship loading facility at Shimoni. The proposed mining area includes the district's most fertile land, is home to many fisherfolk and is a major tourist destination. An analysis of the effects of this project on other available opportunities must be thoroughly understood to ascertain the economic and environmental benefits and costs of the mining venture. The proposed compensation rate of $1,000 per acre, for resettlement for example, appears to be grossly inadequate. Compensation should take into account family size and structure family assets and the cost of relocation.     

Ice wedges: Growth,thaw transformation,and palaeoenvironmental significance

Frost-cracking and ice-wedge growth are fundamental processes within the permafrost environment. Extensive areas of contemporary permafrost terrain are characterised by frost-fissure polygons, formed by repeated thermal contraction-cracking of the ground. The incremental growth of ice veins and wedges along the axes of contraction-cracks contributes significantly to the volume of ground ice in near-surface permafrost. In areas beyond the present limit of permafrost, the recognition of ice-wedge pseudomorphs provides one of the few unambiguous indications of the former existence of permafrost conditions. An understanding of the processes of ice-wedge growth and thaw transformation is essential if contemporary ice wedges are to be used as analogues for Pleistocene frost-fissure structures, in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions.
