大数据正在引发地球科学领域一场深刻的革命——《地质科学》2017年大数据专题代序

本文针对目前国内大数据研究的现状,着重分析了在地球科学领域大数据研究落后的原因,指出大数据正在引发地球科学领域一场深刻的革命,大数据的关键不在于数据的大,而且在于思维的新;从数据出发,让数据说话,依靠人工智能方法,让机器学习、深度学习、可视分析等大数据技术逐步成为必需。利用大数据方法研究玄武岩构造环境判别图以及中新世岩浆事件的意义所取得的成果即是极佳的研究范例。文中指出,面向未来,大数据对于地球科学界来说,决不是可有可无的,它将创造奇迹。大数据作为第四科学范式的研究领域十分宽广,它将改变地球科学家的思维方式,从逻辑思维方式转变为由数据驱动的关联思维方式,文中呼吁科学界对大数据给予更多的关注和支持。     

Revisiting ocean thermal energy conversion

Increasing concerns regarding oil spills, air pollution, and climate change associated with fossil fuel use have increased the urgency of the search for renewable, clean sources of energy. This assessment describes the potential of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) to produce not only clean energy but also potable water, refrigeration, and aquaculture products. Higher oil prices and recent technical advances have improved the economic and technical viability of OTEC, perhaps making this technology more attractive and feasible than in the past. Relatively high capital costs associated with OTEC may require the integration of energy, food, and water production security in small island developing states (SIDSs) to improve cost-effectiveness. Successful implementation of OTEC at scale will require the application of insights and analytical methods from economics, technology, materials engineering, marine ecology, and other disciplines as well as a subsidized demonstration plant to provide operational data at near-commercial scales.     

Research of Background Noise Characteristics of the Zhangzhou Seismic Array

The data recorded during the site survey in the Zhangzhou area in Fujian Province between October 23, 2007 and December 3, 2007 was analyzed. The main methods adopted for the noise level of this area are the noise root mean square (RMS), noise power spectrum density and noise coherency function. The results indicate that the noise levels of the survey sites are higher in the 1s-10s periods, which is the main frequency band of preliminary microseism, and also, two main noise sources were found in 1.5Hz and around 5Hz. According to arithmetic, the direction and frequency band of the noise source were analyzed and academic proofs were presented. At last, we found that the noise source in 1.5Hz was made by the water wave aroused by the wind in the reservoir region and the noise source around 5Hz was made by the power station in the northeast direction.     

首都圈地区小震活动月频次分布特征

利用Kolmogorov-Smirnov分布检验法,对2000-2006年首都圈地区小震月频次分布进行了检验。 结果表明, 首都圈地区小震活动月频次符合正态分布, 而不符合泊松分布。 月频次累计次数与月频次之间的关系与G-R关系类似。 对月频次分布随时间的变化做了进一步分析, 发现在首都圈及其邻近地区发生的4次M_L≥5.0以上地震前, 月频次分布均表现出明显的变化。 这可能为利用地震活动性开展地震预测提供一个新的方法。     

南海有毒塔玛亚历山大藻的分子地理标记分析

采用聚合酶链扩增反应（ＰＣＲ）和限制性片段长度多态性分析（ＲＦＬＰ）方法,对１９９２年５月和１９９４年１２月采自中国南海大鹏湾,大亚湾,香港海域的赤潮有毒甲藻塔玛亚历山大藻８个不同地理株的核糖体小亚基ＲＮＡ基因（Ｓｓ－ｒＤＮＡ）进行分析,并与北美,西欧等地的比较。结果表明,中国南海的塔玛业历山大藻缺少Ｂ基因,这与北美等地的塔玛亚历山大藻（包括有毒和无毒株）不同,而与西欧,澳洲等地的有毒和无毒株相似

小流量、低水头观测泉脱?集气装置改造实验研究——以延庆松山泉气氡为例

小流量、低水头观测泉使用常规脱?集气装置,达不到观测气量的要求,会直接影响化学气体观测质量。本文以松山观测泉为研究对象,结合台站观测条件,通过技术改造和实验研究,制作了恒流溅落式脱?集气装置,对气氡观测结果进行了连续观测分析,获得了完整的年动态变化曲线。观测结果表明,该脱?集装置能够较好地解决小流量、低水头观测泉存在的流量、气量、水量不稳定的问题,使气氡观测的稳定性得到明显提高,为全国其他小流量、低水头观测泉脱?集气装置的技术改进提供了范例。     

Small-strain constrained elastic modulus of clean quartz sand with various grain size distribution

Approx. 120 resonant column (RC) tests with additional P-wave velocity measurements using piezoelectric elements have been performed on 19 clean quartz sands with piecewise linear, gap-graded, S-shaped or other smoothly shaped grain size distribution curves. For each material different pressures and densities were tested. It is demonstrated that the extended empirical equations for the small-strain constrained elastic modulus proposed by the authors in an earlier paper work well also for most of the more complex grain size distribution curves tested in the present study. These equations considering the influence of the uniformity coefficient of the grain size distribution curve were developed based on the data from tests on linear gradations. A further improvement of the prediction for the more complex grain size distributions can be achieved if the correlation equations are applied with a specially defined average inclination of the grain size distribution curve. Such an improvement is demonstrated not only for the small-strain constrained elastic modulus, but also for small-strain shear modulus, modulus degradation and Poisson's ratio.     

由地震分布丛集性给出断层参数的一种新方法

由于大范围内地质构造的复杂性和介质的非均匀性,发震断层面的几何形态一般十分复杂.如果大地震的破裂过程涉及多个断层的活动,则发震断层并非是单一断层平面,而是多个断层面的组合.利用地震空间位置分布丛集性,即震源点成丛位于断层面附近的假设,结合稳健扩充算法和主成分分析给出一种可以重构活断层网络三维空间结构的新方法.该方法每次从震源点集中处开始,利用假设检验扩充子断层面,并得到多个子断层面.接着按震源点属于最近断层面的准则把各子断层面内的震源点进行竞争,并根据一定假设合并和删除一些子断层面,最后用主成分分析确定每个子断层面参数.于是可根据地震事件目录给出一组矩形区域来描述断层面网络结构,其中每个矩形断层面由其位置、走向和倾角确定.通过计算机模拟发现,新方法可成功地重建模拟地震目录的断层面,最后用于南加州1992年6月28日发生的Landers地震部分余震目录中,得到各个子断层面参数与已知地质破裂或隐伏断层相当一致.
