船闸泄水作用下引航道中动水冲沙规律

结合工程实际,研究利用船闸泄水进行下游引航道清淤,对减少清淤成本、提高通航效率有着重要的工程价值。建立枢纽及船闸下游引航道的二维水沙数学模型,采用已有模型试验对水流场和泥沙场进行验证。研究引航道及口门区的泥沙淤积规律,在此基础上,分析船闸输水系统的水力特性,研究了不同冲刷流量、冲刷时间和初始淤积厚度下引航道及口门区的冲刷效果,得出船闸泄水量与引航道及口门区最大淤积厚度的关系。结果表明,在同一初始淤积地形和冲刷流量下,引航道及口门区的最大淤积厚度与冲刷时间呈线性变化,冲刷流量越大,泥沙厚度下降的斜率越大。淤积厚度低于一定值后,随冲刷时间的增加,冲刷效果开始减弱。     

土壤颜色——一个可靠的气候变化代用指标

将研究剖面自上而下以2cm间隔采取的样品,烘干并研磨至小于45μm,此时,土壤的颜色将不再发生变化。将处理好的样品分别测土壤颜色指标亮度、红度和黄度,将测得的亮度、红度和黄度指标分MIS4、MIS3、MIS2和MIS14个阶段,通过与研究剖面的气候指标磁化率、粒度和CaCO_3在百年尺度、千年尺度上的对比分析,以及在万年尺度上与高纬格陵兰GRIP冰芯记录和反映全球冰量变化的SPECMAP曲线进行对比分析表明：土壤颜色指标作为气候变化的代用指标无论在百年尺度、千年尺度还是在万年尺度上均是可靠的,这种可靠性在末次冰期阶段表现得更为显著,这一结论是否适用于整个第四纪冰期间冰期旋回,尚需更多黄土剖面的研究事实来加以证明。     

西太湖沉积物污染的地球化学记录及对比研究

通过对西太湖MS、DLS沉积短岩芯中金属元素、营养指标的对比分析,讨论了西太湖近80年来的元素地球化学演化特征。结果表明,20世纪40年代以前,西太湖沉积物中元素为自然来源;40~70年代末期,除北部Hg、TP受到人为污染之外,其余元素仍主要为自然来源;70年代末期以来,重金属元素人为污染逐渐加重,湖泊营养程度升高。西太湖北部沉积物中Pb、Zn、Mn、Ni、As污染开始于20世纪70年代末期,Hg污染开始于40年代初期;与北部相比,南部沉积物重金属污染历史较短,Pb、Zn污染开始于70年代末期,As、Mn、Ni、Hg污染开始于80年代中期~末期。西太湖北部、南部沉积物中TN、TOC含量70年代末期以来开始增加,C/N比值增大,有机质外源输入比例增加。西太湖北部沉积物中TP含量自40年代初期以来逐渐增加,受到人为污染;南部TP含量在40~70年代略高,但无明显的人为污染特征。

用检测极端降水过程的EID方法确定梅雨雨期

梅雨期是江淮流域夏季降水最为集中的时段。先前研究提出的从时域上寻找极端降水过程的EID方法,可用来确定梅雨雨期的开始和结束及梅雨的强度。该方法含有一个介于0~1之间的可调参数a,通过对其设定不同的值,可确定出一年中不同时间尺度的降水最为集中的时段(雨期)。以南京的梅雨为例,通过试验将参数a取值为0.10,用EID方法获得了气候态的梅雨雨期,它于6月19日开始,7月12日结束,这大体与传统认定的梅雨期相符。对于逐年梅雨雨期的确定,情况稍有复杂。在用同样的方法确定出各年的强降水时段后,在62 a里去掉了12个异常的年份,包括雨期太长和太短、及太早和太晚的年份。然后对其余50个梅雨较为典型的年份进行平均。结果显示,平均的入梅日期为6月24日,平均的出梅日期为7月14日,平均雨期为20 a,这也大体与传统认定的结果相符。     

Calling for Nexus Approach: Introduction of the Flagship Programme on Climate,Ecosystems and Livelihoods

The United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment) launched at the end of 2016 a decade-long (2016-2025) flagship programme on Climate, Ecosystems and Livelihoods (CEL), with the aim to assist developing countries in delivering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and climate targets while protecting their ecosystems and improving the livelihoods of their people. The CEL programme is a major initiative supported by China and other developing countries to promote long-term South-South cooperation, led by the United Nations Environment Programme International Ecosystem Management Partnership (UNEP-IEMP). This article presents the conceptual framework and implementation strategy of the CEL programme, which were proposed through consultations between UN Environment, Chinese and international experts. Within the conceptual framework, the CEL programme will 1) focus its work on the nexus of climate change, ecosystem services and sustainable livelihoods as the primary priority; 2) encourage cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder cooperation, enhance interdisciplinary research, and strive for breakthroughs that cross disciplinary boundaries; 3) provide four types of services and products—monitoring and assessment, capacity building, technology demonstration, and science for policy through mainly South-South cooperation; and 4) have far-reaching impacts on delivering SDGs and climate targets in vulnerable developing countries. The CEL programme is going to be implemented in a strategic way through a set of related projects and initiatives. More particularly, it will 1) focus on fragile ecosystems like drylands, mountains, river basins and coastal zones in Asia, Africa and other key regions along the Belt and Road, in the early stage and expand to include some other regions at a later stage; 2) take a three-phase approach, including Phase I, Kick -off (2016-2018), Phase II, Development (2019-2021), and Phase III, Scaling-up (2022-2025); and 3) draw on the globally relevant knowledge, expertise and other resources of a substantial network of partners. So far, UNEP-IEMP has developed more than twenty projects and initiatives in the regions along the Belt and Road, especially in Africa and the Greater Mekong Subregion, which lay a solid foundation for the implementation of CEL programme in its first phase.     

如何利用化石植物定量研究古海拔？

古海拔问题是当前古植物学与古环境研究领域中的难点之一,属于化石植物生物学与地球科学和环境科学相互交叉、相互渗透的前沿性研究。定量研究古海拔的变化对阐述诸如青藏高原抬升历史等重大科学问题具有十分重要的意义。应用生物学的思想和方法,利用化石植物研究地质历史时期古海拔的变化是当前研究的一个热点。化石植物既是研究地质历史时期植被演替的直接证据,又是研究古海拔变化的珍贵材料。本文简述了利用化石植物定量研究古海拔的3类主要方法,即最近亲缘种分析、共存因子分析和叶相分析的基本原理和实际应用,侧重分析中国地区（如西藏南部南木林盆地）古海拔的研究进展和存在问题,并结合近年来的研究实践展望了将来的工作。     

道路网约束下的城市兴趣点选取

针对道路对城市内部兴趣点数据分布有密切的约束关系,故城市内POI数据往往呈现出沿着道路分布的特征这一现象,提出一种在道路网约束下城市内部POI数据的选取算法。通过建立道路网的拓扑结构,根据POI数据的分布位置分为道路周边分布的和远离道路分布的两大类,对道路周边的点使用"间苗法"选取,对远离道路分布的点根据其分布模式决定采用"随机法"或其他方法选取。算法采用实际数据进行实验,切实可行,并得到了合理的结果。     

贴近度的诱导有序加权平均算子最优组合模型

针对由路基沉降观测数据建立的各种沉降预测模型各有优缺点的问题,该文提出了将基于贴近度的诱导有序加权平均算子最优组合模型应用于路基沉降变形预测分析中的方法。该文将贴近度与诱导有序加权平均算子进行结合,建立基于贴近度的诱导有序加权平均算子最优组合预测模型,并用于沉降预测分析。对各模型的预测精度进行比较分析,结果显示:该组合模型效果优于单项模型的预测精度,预测相对误差小,最大误差5%;其各项误差指标也低于参与组合的各单项预测方法。
