Present Observational Status of the Intermediate Mass Stars: δ Sct Stars, γ Dor Stars and roAp Stars

The present observational status of the Sct stars, Dor stars and roAp stars is discussed. The Sct stars are the most intensively observed of the three groups, but it has become clear that there are severe problems in extracting asteroseismic information from them. Dozens of frequencies are observed, but hundreds of frequencies are predicted from the models; unique matches of observation and theory still elude us. The Sct stars are observationally complex – some recent `best case' campaigns are discussed. It is possible that substantial observational advances for Sct stars may need to await upcoming satellite missions. New Dor stars are beingdiscovered frequently, and new behaviour is being found for them. They constitutean observationally young field. Their pulsational frequency range is being expanded, their position in the HR diagram is becoming better known (but is yet to be fully constrained), and the possibility exists of hybrid Dor – Sct stars that have greatasteroseismic promise, although it is clear such stars are rare, if they do exist. It has been observationally challenging to extract more than a fewfrequencies for any Dor star so far. Exciting spectroscopic discoveries of new behaviour in roAp stars promise unprecedented information about the structure of the peculiar atmospheres ofthose stars – pulsation amplitude and phase in 3D, magnetic field structurein 3D, abundance stratification in 3D, realistic T- for the most peculiarstars – as well as entirely new information about the interaction of pulsation,rotation and magnetic fields. Recent theoretical work has led to new understandingof the previously inexplicable frequency spacing of HR 1217 with new Whole Earth Telescope observations supporting this theory. An `improved oblique pulsator model' has been developed in which the pulsationaxis is not the magnetic axis; this model has passed several observationaltests and new ones are being devised to examine it further.     

干旱区盐渍地遥感动态监测及其驱动力研究——以渭干河-库车河三角洲绿洲为例

土壤盐渍化作为主要的土地退化形式之一,已成为一个全球性问题.盐渍地的时空动态变化特征分析研究,是发展研究盐渍地动态监测与预报技术的重要基础工作之一,对于及时掌握盐渍化程度与分布,合理制定土地利用政策与生态改良措施,实现区域可持续发展等方面具有重要作用.针对目前塔里木盆地北缘地区广泛存在的土壤盐渍化问题,基于GIS和遥感变化检测方法,对渭-库绿洲1989、2001、2007年三个时期的盐渍地时空动态变化特征及其驱动力进行了分析.研究结果表明:1989-2007年间重度盐渍地的变化程度剧烈,呈剧烈增加态势;中轻度盐渍地面积减少,主要向重度盐渍地和非盐渍地转化;非盐渍地有所减少,主要向中轻度盐渍地和重度盐渍地转化;绿洲内部盐渍化程度有所降低,而绿洲外围盐渍化程度加剧;盐渍地重心具有向绿洲外围东南方向转移的趋势;通过分析盐渍地时空动态变化特征,表明盐渍地时空变化是一个极其复杂的过程,同时受到自然和人文两大系统的驱动,人为不合理的灌溉是促使土壤盐渍化的主要驱动力.研究为盐渍地时空动态分析与评价提供了普适性较强的实现方法,为构建盐渍地定量监测模型提供了一定科学依据.     

长江水下三角洲的动力沉积

2002年9-10月在长江水下三角洲获取了163个表层样,综合粒度、有孔虫、介形类、有机碳以及CaCO3含量的资料表明,研究区明显分为两部分,即长江河口现代三角洲扣晚更新世末期三角洲。根据表层沉积物的粒度特征,现代水下三角洲可以分为以黏土质砂扣细砂为主的前缘斜坡区(A区)、以黏土质粉砂为主的前三角洲区(B区)扣以砂一粉砂一黏土为主的三角洲向陆架过渡区(C区),呈现较为明显的粒径细化趋势,有机碳与黏土含量呈现明显的正相关,CaCO3含量的变化不大,从Pejrup图可以看出现代三角洲从A区到C区的动力递减变化。晚更新世末期三角洲(D区)粒径较粗,有孔虫扣介形类的氧化壳含量较高,有孔虫扣介形类的丰度扣含量也较高,CaCO3的含量较高,与现代三角洲形成明显的对照。对比20世纪70年代和80年代的资料,近岸物质趋向粗化,北支水下沙脊发育,现代三角洲不断向外扩展,残留砂面积减少。50多年来河口来沙的减少已经引起整个现代三角洲物质粗化,现代沉积区沉降中心面积大幅度减少。     

Sequence stratigraphy of the upper Millstone Grit (Yeadonian,Namurian), North Wales

The upper Millstone Grit strata (Yeadonian, Namurian) of North Wales have been studied using sedimentological facies analysis and sequence stratigraphy. These strata comprise two cyclothems, each containing prodelta shales (Holywell Shale) that pass gradationally upwards into delta‐front and delta‐plain deposits (Gwespyr Sandstone Formation). The deltas formed in shallow water (<100 m), were fluvial‐dominated, had elongate and/or sheet geometries and are assigned to highstand systems tracts. Two delta complexes with distinctive sandstone petrographies are identified: (1) a southerly derived, quartzose delta complex sourced locally from the Wales‐Brabant Massif, and (2) a feldspathic delta complex fed by a regional source(s) to the north and/or west. The feldspathic delta complex extended further south in the younger cyclothem. A multistorey braided‐fluvial complex (Aqueduct Grit, c. 25 m thick) is assigned to a lowstand systems tract, and occupies an incised valley that was eroded into the highstand feldspathic delta complex in the younger cyclothem. A candidate incised valley cut into the highstand feldspathic delta complex in the older cyclothem is also tentatively identified. Transgressive systems tracts are thin (<5 m) and contain condensed fossiliferous shales (marine bands). The high‐resolution sequence stratigraphic framework interpreted for North Wales can be readily traced northwards into the Central Province Basin (‘Pennine Basin’), supporting the notion that high‐frequency, high‐magnitude sea‐level changes were the dominant control on stratigraphic architecture.

黄河三角洲上特殊侵蚀沟槽的研究

黄河独特的水文条件、沉积物的细粒特性,以及黄河三角洲地区近年来的半干旱气候条件,尤其黄河近年来严重断流导致了黄河三角洲水上平原发育了大量的异常地质现象,特殊侵蚀沟槽便是其中之一。根据平面形态侵蚀沟槽可分为线状、树枝状、坑洞状、面状,网状及隧道状几种;横剖面形态有“U”形、“V”形、梯形或窄缝形。其规模不一,小者长数厘米,宽深数厘米;大者长数十、甚至百余米;宽十几米,深数十厘米到一米多。沟槽壁上常发育滑塌、流痕或类钟乳等次级构造。

黄河断流对三角洲油气开发环境的影响

黄河断流对三角洲海上油气开发环境的负面影响是显著的,对流域的国民经济可持续发展的影响更是巨大。黄河断流对整个流域海上开发环境的影响深远,解决起来是一个很大的系统工程。从1999年的情况看,由于各级领导重视和措施得当,黄河断流的状况已得到很大缓解,黄河断流已由先前百天以上减少到1999年只断流41d(利津站)。2000年至今,黄河尚未发生过断流。本文从许多学者的研究资料入手,讨论黄河断流对三角洲油气开发环境的影响。
