Based on teleseismic broadband data, mainly recorded from stationsof the Incorporated Research Institute for Seismology (IRIS) and theGräfenberg (GRF) array in Germany, the focal mechanism and thefocal depth of the largest earthquakes in northeastern Siberia in thetime interval 1976–1996 were determined. For 9 events the relativeanelastic attenuation of the shear wave with respect to the compressionalwave along the travel paths could be calculated. Using the slip vectorsfrom the best constrained focal mechanisms and additional slip vectorsfrom Jemsek et al. (1986) and Parfenov et al. (1988), we obtained the North American–Eurasian pole of rotation west of the Cherskii mountainsat 67.1° N, 132.3° E.The investigation shows that the extension of the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridgeinto the continental shelf acts as a continental graben structure.Actually, the crustal extension is concentrated on the eastern LaptevSea area and the seismicity of the western part of the Laptev Sea canbe explained by the assumption of a separate microplate. In the continentsoutheast of the Laptev Sea a series of northwest trending depressions,known as the Moma `Rift', are observed. Although in this region elevatedheat flow, recent volcanism and a low crustal thickness were found (i.e.Duchkov and Sokolova, 1985; Devyatkin, 1985), there is only a poorcorrelation between the seismicity and the rift valleys. So the Momastructures seem to be related to an aborted rift structure. 相似文献
Since the Tumen River Area Development Project(TRADP) was launched in 1991, Hunchun city located between North Korea and Russia
along the river corridor, has become an important and unique border city. Hunchun, formerly a strategic military city, is
emerging as an international trade linkage center through Satouz and Quanhe on the North Korea side and through Changlinzi
on the Russian side. Furthermore, the establishment and operation of the Hunchun Border Economic Cooperation Zone (HBECZ)
in the city is becoming the main source of the growth, providing a new role for the border city. Its underlying economic momentum
comes from the combination of the Chinese-Korean labor force and foreign investment and technology transferred from Korea,
Japan, and others.
The most important expected new role for Hunchun is as a new 21st century entrepot connection between the Pacific rim and
Eurasia by rail and trunk lines, and as a new regional center of the border region based on both a newly generated urban subsystem
and the increasing informal sector of cross border business. However, there are many obstacles to overcome in the near future,
such as the possible military tensions among the three border nations, the guarantee of free entries and sailing on the Tumen
river, and agreements concerning environmental conservation.

In the assessment of air quality, regional distribution and dispersion with distance are important, together with the variations of pollutants in time. On this occasion, the point cumulative semi-variogram (PCSV) method is used in order to find simply regional distribution of pollutants of Erzurum urban centre. This method is based simply on the summation of square differences in air pollutant concentrations between different sites. Monthly regional variation maps of Erzurum are constructed by finding radius of influence (for SO2, from 1000 m to 3500 m and, for TSP, 1000–2000 m) and PCSV scattering diagram data at different levels by using monthly average sulphur dioxide (SO2) and total suspended particulate (TSP) matter concentrations in 2001–2002 winter season. Consequently, the air pollution distribution of Erzurum is assessed. 相似文献
