Interviewing in 'place': the socio-spatial construction of interview data

The intersubjective dialogic exercise through which identities and knowledge are constructed exists in a dialectic relation with the 'place' of the interview. The in situ nature of interviewing should not be overlooked. Two case studies of interviews conducted with older people in Britain about their social network and support are used to illuminate two aspects of the socio-spatial construction of interview data. First, interview sites can yield important information about the way participants construct their individual and social identities. Second, such identities can influence interviewer–interviewee dynamics.     

Impact of climate change and variability on water resources in Heihe River Basin

Studies indicate that the climate has experienced a dramatic change in the Heihe River Basin with scope of temperature rise reaching 0.5-1.1oC in the 1990s compared to the mean value of the period 1960-1990, precipitation increased 18.5 mm in the 1990s compared to the 1950s, and 6.5 mm in the 1990s compared to the mean value of the period 1960-1990, water resources decreased 2.6×108 m3 in the 1990s compared to the 1950s, and 0.4×108 m3 in the 1990s compared to the mean value of the period 1960-1990. These changes have exerted a greater effect on the local environment and socio-economy, and also made the condition worsening in water resources utilizations in the Heihe Rver Basin.     

Eco-environment range in the source regions of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers

Based on geographical and hydrological extents delimited, four principles are identified, as the bases for delineating the ranges of the source regions of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers in the paper. According to the comprehensive analysis of topographical characteristics, climate conditions, vegetation distribution and hydrological features, the source region ranges for eco-environmental study are defined. The eastern boundary point is Dari hydrological station in the upper reach of the Yellow River. The watershed above Dari hydrological station is the source region of the Yellow River which drains an area of 4.49×104 km2. Natural environment is characterized by the major topographical types of plateau lakes and marshland, gentle landforms, alpine cold semi-arid climate, and steppe and meadow vegetation in the source region of the Yellow River. The eastern boundary point is the convergent site of the Nieqiaqu and the Tongtian River in the upstream of the Yangtze River. The watershed above the convergent site is the source region of the Yangtze River, with a watershed area of 12.24×104 km2. Hills and alpine plain topography, gentle terrain, alpine cold arid and semi-arid climate, and alpine cold grassland and meadow are natural conditions in the source region of the Yangtze River.     

The water level simulation for crane habitat optimization in Xianghai Nature Reserve

The probability of crane living in reedy wetlands can reach 100%, at the same time, the area of reed, the water level and adjacent water area are main factors which control the crane's habitat selection. We all know that all these factors are spatially heterogeneous. For the Xianghai wetland safety and to protect the Xianghai wetland habitat of crane, this paper has mainly identified a solution to these problems. The wetland information is extracted from the TM images, which reflect the whole wetland landscape and are very important for both quantitative analysis of remote sensing observation of the earth system and positioning analysis in GIS database that is automatically extracted from DEM. The DEM for Xianghai characteristics of topography is created. On the basis of the GRID SUBMODULE, applying the GIS spatial overlay analysis, the relationship between the water level and the reed area below the water level and the rating distribution maps of reed area above water level is established. When the water level reaches the altitude of 165 m, the reed area, 981.2 ha is maximum, i.e., the water level of 165 m is the optimal.     

试述福建顺昌南舟萤石矿地质特征

顺昌南舟萤石矿位于顺昌县埔上镇南舟村境内，1996年福建省区域地质调查队开展1：5万埔上幅区调时发现矿体，后开展普查工作表明该矿床规模大、交通方便，易于开采，现已投入开发利用。南舟萤石矿成矿地质特征在闽北丰富的萤石资源中具有一定代表性。     

南天山西段古生代火山岩Ar-Ar年龄新资料

根据新近采自中国南天山西段志留-泥盆系乌帕塔尔坎群中的安山岩样品和石炭-二叠纪康克林组上部英安岩角砾样品的全岩Ar-Ar定年测试,乌帕塔尔坎群安山岩的坪年龄为427.70±0.60 Ma,等时年龄为426.96±4.57 Ma; 康克林组上部的英安岩角砾的坪年龄为288.16±0.40 Ma,等时年龄为289.18±2.02 Ma.测试结果为研究中国南天山(西段)古生代造山带的构造体系提供了新的依据.     

遵义市城区及周边地带制砖页(泥)岩地质特征和开发前景

文章对遵义市城区及周边地带各地质时代的页（泥）岩已有资料进行了系统收集、归纳和适当的野外调研，认为区内制砖页（泥）岩层位可分为三类，第一、二类利用价值小或仅有部分可以利用，第三类则易于露采，大部分可利用，其层位为下奥陶统湄潭组和下三叠统夜郎组九级滩段，是区内可作制砖页（泥）岩利用最有开发前景的层位。同时对页（泥）岩的形成沉积环境作了简要分析，对其资源量进行了概略估算，经优化筛选，提出了10个供制砖厂企设置布局和矿源地选择之前需进行地质勘查的区块。     

六枝煤矿区构造体系初步分析

六枝煤矿区属于威宁—郎岱褶皱束的一部分，NW向构造占据主要地位。地史上该区有多次升降运动，二叠纪的东吴运动，伴随基性岩浆活动；侏罗、白垩纪的燕山运动，使本区发生大规模的褶皱和断裂；喜马拉雅运动的影响使本区构造复杂化。形成NE向扭性断层；构造复合的基本方式是横跨和限制。构造分析表明，NE向构造形成较早，NW向构造形成较晚。     

利用MAPGIS编绘地质图的一些技巧

计算机MAPGIS系统制图过程中，如果将大比例尺地图通过输出系统直接输出后，图面没有层次感，不能突出主题，掌握MAPGIS系统的操作技巧，对编绘各种地图，可省工省时，节约时间成本。
