柴达木盆地晚中新世河湖相沉积物粒度组成及其古环境意义

本文应用沉积物粒度端元分析模型对柴达木盆地怀头他拉剖面开放湖相沉积物进行分离,得到4个具有现实环境意义的端元组分,分别代表 4种动力过程。端元1为河流沉积,端元2、3都为湖相沉积,端元4为三角洲沉积。这些成分含量在晚中新世的变化趋势不明显但变化幅度相对较大,表明柴达木盆地这套地层记录了沉积环境或气候的快速变化。尽管怀头他拉粒度变化趋势总体不明显,然而平均粒径在约8.3~7.0Ma期间有所降低,指示当时亚洲季风可能发生了增强,导致柴达木古湖面积扩大,到达研究站点沉积物的粒度变细。东亚和南亚地区古气候数据合成支持这一推论,由此我们推断亚洲大陆在约8.3~7.0Ma期间气候相对较湿润,是青藏高原隆升的一个直接反应;而7Ma以后气候变干可能反映了大气CO₂含量下降的驱动。轨道尺度研究表明柴达木盆地气候在约8.3~7.0Ma期间发生了较大幅度的变化,支持青藏高原隆升是气候变化放大器的观点。

     

Enter the working forest: Discourse analysis in the Northern Forest

In 1988, four states in the northeastern USA commissioned a study to address land use changes in the Northern Forest, 26 million acres of temperate and boreal forest extending from Maine to eastern New York State. Against a backdrop of economic destabilization and concerns regarding social and ecological implications of a real estate boom, the sustained deliberative dialogue catalyzed by this study has come to rely heavily on the ambiguous concept of “working forest.” To clarify political and environmental dynamics in the region, we analyzed how people respond to and seek to capitalize on the interpretive flexibility of the term working forest. We combine an analysis of socio-political discourses of working forest based on a structured literature review with an assessment of local peoples’ definitions of working forest based on a survey conducted in a pair of contrasting New York State communities. The first study site represents an amenity-oriented community (i.e. a place where the forest supports a service economy including recreation and tourism) and the other study site represents a timber-dependent community. By linking data from community-level analysis to data derived from a general analysis of forest politics, we seek to develop a more robust perspective. By comparing discourses across differently structured communities, we investigate how local forest politics are mediated by local economic development processes. Our study empirically illustrates contested and geographically uneven processes of social construction of environment and rural development in a region confronting pressures of globalization. Results indicate that timber harvesting is a heavily privileged management objective, as a logic of ‘the forest that pays is the forest that stays’ dominates. Environmental politics in the region, and perhaps more generally, increasingly conforms to a form of pragmatism in which economic opportunities structure conservation planning and investment.     

高密度电法在岩溶探测中的应用

Multi-electrode resistivity method is equipped with various electrode array configurations. Due to their different electrode arrangements, various electrode array configurations tend to exhibit significantly varying detection effects under different survey environments. Hence, to achieve satisfactory detection effects using high-resolution electrical resistivity tomography, it is necessary to explore the strategy for choosing appropriate array configurations targeting different objects in practical work. Given the high applicability of the method, its forward and inversion calculations remain a critical task. Based on the differential equations to be satisfied by the point source potential in a three-dimensional structure, this study derived the variational problem to be satisfied by the 2.5D potential and conducted the unstructured gridding using the Delaunay triangulation algorithm, thus achieving finite-element forward modeling. By combining practical applications, this study designed common geological models and performed forward and inverse calculations using Wenner 2 S^-2.
