Middle Holocene warm period and sea level high in coastal areas,North China

Relevant geological, geographical, archaeological data were collected to study the characteristics of middle Holocene warm period and sea level high on North China coast. Middle Holocene climate and sea level change on North China coast were correlated to warm marine environment events in about 8-3 ka B.E The sea level in about 8 ka B.E was higher than present mean sea level, then fluctuated for 5 000 years and after that it became even in 3 ka B.E The highest sea level occurred in about 6-5 ka B.E; the maximum was about 2-3 m and minimum was about 1-2 m.     

第七大洲——垃圾洲？

在夏威夷海岸与北美洲海岸之间，数百万吨被海水冲积于此的塑料垃圾组成了“第七大洲”。而且，顺时针流动的海水还形成了一个可让塑料垃圾飞旋的永不停歇的强大漩涡。     

波浪之奇妙

最近在苏格兰—世界最大之邮船下水,此船集合造船工程师累代之精华与多人之计划而成,且於船之构造先有特殊之研究与实验。在此大船形成之前曾先作许多模型於池内试验。其重要之问题,即在决定如何可使船身能安然驾御海浪,及使用最低限度之消耗。此小小自行推进之船型,以极快之速度行驶於由电力的波浪产生器(Wavemaker)所发生之风暴的海洋中。在继续试验之後,始成满意之模型,在小范围中所作实验,恰如他日玛丽皇后号(Queen Mary)行将遭遇极强烈之风暴然。     

SCREENING FOR ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITIES IN SOME MARINE ALGAE FROM THE FUJIAN COAST OF CHINA WITH THREE DIFFERENT SOLVENTS

Three different solvents viz ethanol, acetone and methanol-toluene (3:1) were used to extract antibiotics from 23 species of marine algae belonging to the Chlomphyta, Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta. Their crude extracts were tested for antibacterial and antifungal activities. Among them, the ethanol extract showed the strongest activity against the bacteria and fungi tested. Four species of the Rhodophyta (Laurenc/a okamurai, Dasya scoparia, Grateloupia filicina and plocamium telfairiae ) showed a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity. Every solvent extract from the four species was active against all the bacteria tested. The test bacterium Pseudomonas solancearum and the fungus Penicilium citrinum were most sensitive to the extracts of marine algae. In general, the extracts of seaweeds inhibited bacteria more strongly than fungi and species of the Rhodophyta showed the greatest activity against the bacteria and fungi tested.     

河海交互作用沉积与平原地貌发育*

河流是搬运陆源泥沙的主要动力,对相邻的海岸海洋沉积动力有巨大影响。中国河流汇入海洋中的泥沙曾占全球入海泥沙的10 ％ ,现代中国边缘海大陆架在晚更新世时曾是海岸平原,河-海交互作用是形成海岸平原与浅海输积泥沙的主要因素。本文选择5个不同类型的河流展示其不同的泥沙运动与河口沉积的特性以及对相邻陆架之影响,包括: 1)强潮型动力的鸭绿江河口湾,形成从陆向海与从海向陆的双向水流交汇沉积,海岸形成潮流脊体系。 2)季风波浪为主导动力的滦河口,以泥沙的横向运动为主,形成沙坝环绕的双重海岸,沉积粒径自海向陆减小; 沿岸浪流携运泥沙向河口两侧分布,使沙坝具有沙咀状的复合特点。 3)弱潮型、多沙的黄河口,径流于两侧堆积指状沙咀,沙咀下风侧形成粉砂粘土淤泥湾,沿岸流携运泥沙向渤海湾延伸为淤泥舌。 4)径流与沿岸流组合作用的沉积模式,以长江口为代表,泥沙沿岸向南输运为主导,向海岸与向内陆架构成颗粒变细的带状沉积,外陆架出露残留砂。 5)充填河口湾的三角洲,以珠江为代表,河流分汊与会潮点泥沙堆积,悬移质扩散至湾外,被沿岸流携带沿海岸向SW运移,外陆架为残留砂沉积。20世纪80年代以来,上述河流均受到人为活动的改造影响,河流自然过程与河海交互作用效应均发生改变。本文主要以滦河三角洲为例阐述河-海交互作用与平原的地貌特征。     

泉州湾海岸湿地沉积物重金属的空间分布特征

海岸湿地是全球生物生产量最高的生态系统之一,也是污染物汇集的主要区域之一.对2006年春季在福建泉州湾不同类型海岸湿地内采集的柱状样进行重金属分析,结果显示,泉州湾海岸湿地2006年表层沉积物重金属含量严重超标(表1).     

让大白鲨与人“和睦相处”

澳大利亚海岸约有一万头“大白鲨”。平均每年有6名冲浪人遭到这种巨型食肉类动物的杀害。最近在澳大利亚南部海岸，又有两名年轻人在24小时之内连续受害，再次突显出鲨鱼对人类的威胁。近年来澳大利亚有人大肆捕猎大白鲨，使这种动物濒临绝种。澳政府非常强烈地呼吁，宣布大鲨鱼是受保护的高级动物。由此可见，既保护游人又保护鲨鱼，始终是一对非常突出的矛盾。
