钦州湾人工海滩剖面变化过程

波浪和潮汐作用下的海滩剖面动态变化过程是海岸演变及沿海防护工程设计与旅游资源规划的核心内容。本文以广西钦州湾沙井半岛人工海滩为研究区, 基于GPS-RTK采集的2018年1月—2019年12月的逐月剖面高程实测数据, 通过分析剖面冲淤和单宽体积变化, 利用EOF(Empirical Orthogonal Function)函数揭示剖面的高程变化模式, 进而探讨海滩剖面的动态演变过程。研究的主要结果表明: 1) 在观测期间, 人工海滩剖面的冲淤情况整体展现出冬春季淤积、夏秋季侵蚀的变化特征; 2) 人工海滩剖面因泥沙横向输移而导致不同横向分带的单宽体积变化趋势呈差异性, 不同横向分带具有侵蚀与淤积交替出现的情况; 3) 人工海滩剖面的变化模式可划分为由强降雨及台风导致剖面高程明显降低的主要模式、波潮影响下的剖面高程经历强降雨及台风后逐渐淤积和恢复的次要模式、波浪破碎形成卷流引起滩面冲淤变化的其他模式。     

中国1980—2019年1 m土层贮水量的时空变化特征分析

土壤剖面水分信息比表层土壤水分信息难以获取,但对全面认识整个土层的水分含量至关重要。融合多源数据是估算区域土壤剖面水分的有效途径。本文采用随机森林回归算法,利用中国实测土壤水分数据建立了不同季节的表层-深层土壤水分关系模型。据此采用ESA CCI SM遥感表层土壤水分产品估算获得了中国1980—2019年0~10、0~20、0~30、0~40、0~50、0~60、0~70、0~80、0~90和0~100 cm 共10个深度层次土壤水分的时空变化特征。ESA CCI SM产品与实测数据整体上匹配较好但普遍高估,本文提出采用饱和含水量和凋萎系数信息对其进行值域控制,有效降低了该产品的高估误差。随机森林回归模型的精度在秋季最高,夏季和春季次之,冬季最低。模型对干带土壤水分的估算最准确,暖温带和冷温带次之,青藏带准确性最低。计算了中国10个深度层次的土壤贮水量,其多年平均值和标准差分别为1.64±0.11、3.50±0.21、5.29±0.30、7.13±0.38、10.04±0.46、12.25±0.54、14.47±0.62、16.75±0.69、19.05±0.76和21.36±0.83 cm。各深度的土壤水分呈明显的分层,即波动层（0~40 cm）、跃变层（40~60 cm）和稳定层（60~100 cm）。中国1m土层贮水量呈自西北向东北和东南方向递增的分布格局,寒旱区该值较低且空间变异明显,暖湿区该值较高且空间分布更均一。热带、干带和青藏带的1 m土层贮水量在夏季最高,暖温带和冷温带该值在夏季最低。近40年来中国1m土层贮水量在空间上“湿区愈湿,干区愈干”,在时间上“湿季愈湿,干季愈干”。热带土壤在2004—2009年显著变湿,干带土壤显著变湿和变干的转折年份分别为1985—1986年和2013—2014年。中国1m土层贮水量序列最常见的周期是5年和11年。

Aseismic deep subduction of the Philippine Sea plate and slab window

We have made great efforts to collect and combine a large number of high-quality data from local earthquakes and teleseismic events recorded by the dense seismic networks in both South Korea and West Japan. This is the first time that a large number of Korean and Japanese seismic data sets are analyzed jointly. As a result, a high-resolution 3-D P-wave velocity model down to 700-km depth is determined, which clearly shows that the Philippine Sea (PHS) plate has subducted aseismically down to ∼460 km depth under the Japan Sea, Tsushima Strait and East China Sea. The aseismic PHS slab is visible in two areas: one is under the Japan Sea off western Honshu, and the other is under East China Sea off western Kyushu. However, the aseismic PHS slab is not visible between the two areas, where a slab window has formed. The slab window is located beneath the center of the present study region where many teleseismic rays crisscross. Detailed synthetic tests were conducted, which indicate that both the aseismic PHS slab and the slab window are robust features. Using the teleseismic data recorded by the Japanese stations alone, the aseismic PHS slab and the slab window were also revealed (Zhao et al., 2012), though the ray paths in the Japanese data set crisscross less well offshore. The slab window may be caused by the subducted Kyushu-Palau Ridge and Kinan Seamount Chain where the PHS slab may be segmented. Hot mantle upwelling is revealed in the big mantle wedge above the Pacific slab under the present study region, which may have facilitated the formation of the PHS slab window. These novel findings may shed new light on the subduction history of the PHS plate and the dynamic evolution of the Japan subduction zone.     

长江三峡坝区断层泥的裂变径迹法年龄

仙女山断裂带和九湾溪断裂带是位距三峡工程坝址最近的两条主断裂。本文对断裂带中断层泥、断裂壁岩和断裂带围岩内选出的磷灰石进行了裂变径迹断代学的研究,并对径迹长度的频率分布进行统计测量。研究证实,仙女山断裂带与九湾溪断裂带发生的时期分别为0.60±0.05MaB.P.和0.29±0.04MaB.P.,与它周边的围岩经受的主要构造-热事件年龄(22.30±1.8Ma)截然不同。与其它方法年龄测定结果对比分析,均未见到全新世以来有明显的活动迹象,以此确认三斗坪坝址属稳定地壳区。     

Remote sensing of Carhuarazo volcanic complex using ASTER imagery in Southern Peru to detect alteration zones and volcanic structures – a combined approach of image processing in ENVI and ArcGIS/ArcScene

A combined approach to detect hydrothermal alteration zones and their mineral distribution is proposed for a relatively remote area around the Carhuarazo volcanic complex in southern Peru encompassing 2222 km². In this region, tertiary volcanic structures associated with hydrothermal alteration are well known to host epithermal ore deposits. We make an attempt to detect and to quantify alteration minerals based on spectral analysis using ASTER reflectance data product provided by LP-DAAC. Besides commonly used ratio images, mineral indices (MI) and relative band depth images (RBD), we also extracted endmember spectra using Pixel-Purity-Processing preceded by minimum noise fraction transformation. These spectra are thought to represent the spectrally purest pixel of the image and show the typical absorption features of the main constituents. Based on this assumption, we used different spectral analysis methods in order to extract the most important alteration minerals for such an environment. These minerals were then used for matched filter processing in areas showing high values in MIs and RBDs. Using this method, we detected and mapped argillic alteration and variations in the distribution of important minerals like alunite, kaolinite or nacrite. There were no indications for the presence of propilitization at ASTER spatial resolutions. Our method can be applied easily to any ASTER scene and provides information about the intensity of alteration and the character of alteration zones. The intensity is highest in the centre of the Carhuarazo volcanic complex and is mostly argillic with a high content of alunite, dickite and other clay minerals.     

Integration of remote sensing and electrical sounding data for hydrogeological exploration—a case study of Bakhar watershed,India / Intégration de données de télédétection et de sondages électriques pour l'exploration hydrogéologique—étude de cas du bassin versant de Bakhar,Inde

Abstract

A geographical information system (GIS) was used for the integration of hydrological data acquired using remote sensing and geoelectrical techniques to understand the groundwater condition of Bakhar watershed, Mirazpur District, UP, India. Indian remote sensing IRS-1D, LISS—III data were used to prepare a geomorphological and lineament map of the Bakhar watershed. Vertical electrical sounding (VES) was carried out in different geomorphic units, and ranges of electrical resistivity values were assigned to the different formations by calibrating electrical resistivity with borehole data. Based on these, a subsurface resistivity map and an aquifer thickness map were prepared. Several layers were superimposed using GIS techniques. Each theme was assigned a weight, depending on its influence on groundwater recharge. Each class or unit in the map was assigned a knowledge-based rank from one to four, depending on its significance in storage and transmittance of groundwater, and these were then multiplied by the layer weighting to produce a score. Based on these scores, the watershed was categorized into different groundwater potential zones. The results indicate that the eastern and northern parts of the study area have very good groundwater potential to meet the demands of water for irrigation and domestic purposes, whereas the southern region has poor groundwater potential zones. Such integrated analysis has not been attempted so far in this region for hydrogeological investigation.     

Analysis of recent changes in rainfall and drought indices in Nigeria, 1981–2015

ABSTRACT

This study assesses the climate change impact on rainfall and drought incidents across Nigeria. Linear regression, Mann-Kendall tests and lag-1 serial correlation were adopted to analyse the trends and variability of rainfall and drought at 18 synoptic stations. Analysis of annual precipitation series indicates an increase in rainfall amounts at all stations, except Minna, Gusau and Yola. Seventeen of the 18 stations recorded at least one main drought period, between 1983 and 1987. A decreasing trend for the standardized precipitation index SPI-12 series was seen at Yola station, while the other stations showed an increasing trend. Also, Nigeria witnessed more annual rainfall totals but with high variability within the rainy months of the year in the first 15 years of the 21st century compared to the 20th century. Such variability in rainfall may have a significant effect on groundwater resources and the hydrology of Nigeria.     

DETERMINATION OF UNIFORM AND GRANULAR AQUIFER CHARACTERISTICS BY LINEAR METHODS / On détermine des caractéristiques des aquifères uniformes et granulaires par des méthodes linéaires

Abstract

It is a known fact that some methods used in the calculation of aquifer coefficients for unconsolidated formations require the use of semilogarithmic and logarithmic papers and others need previously prepared tables. In this study some linear methods are considered for the determination of aquifer characteristics because of the greater possibilities these give for accurate drawing of the drawdown/time graph.     

Landsat,aerial photography and state factors in soil survey of arid and humid Patagonia,Argentina

Frederiksen, Peter: LANDSAT, aerial photography and state factors in soil survey of arid and humid Patagonia, Argentina. Geografisk Tidsskrift 81: 39–48. Copenhagen, June, 1981

The applicability of LANDSAT, aerial photography, and topographical maps was tested in relation to soil survey of humid and arid Patagonia, Argentina. Fieldwork was carried out as toposequence-studies in five vegetation zones and observations of roadcuts. These data were compared with LANDSAT and aerial photography. Only observations on state factors of soil formation were obtained. These showed as a first rough approximation a consistent relationship between observed state factors as expressed in land systems and stage of soil development.
