初论古文化类型演替与传承模式的区域分异——以西拉沐沦河流域和汶泗流域为例

西拉沐沦河流域地处中国地貌大势三大台阶之中台阶与低台阶的过渡区。该区的中度抬升和下切,造成了西拉沐沦河流域考古文化遗址在空间上的垂向迁移;频繁的迁移也导致了考古遗址在堆积形态上主要表现为单一型,体现了不同考古文化之间“间断”的,不稳定的传承方式。位于中国地貌大势之低台阶上的汶泗流域,属自下古生代以来就十分稳定的剥蚀区,这些自然条件造成了汶泗流域遗址在堆积形态上主要表现为叠置型,考古文化在时空上,很少随着时间做空间上的改变,基本上在同一水平空间稳定不动,体现了不同考古文化之间“连续”、稳定的传承方式。两个流域的对比研究说明,不同地域、不同的自然条件,可以造成考古文化演替与传承模式的区域分异。     

甘肃西部地区高放废物处置库场址预选调查

本文根据高放废物处置库场址选择的基本要求，对区域地质及深部构造特征、新构造运动及地震分布规律进行了调查，确定北山南带地区为稳定区。在稳定区内根据处置库有利围岩的出露情况，结合岩体工程地质特征分析，初步选出了４个以花岗岩为主体的场址预选区。经综合分析，认为在４个场址预选区中，以Ｉ号预选区的条件最优，其次是Ⅱ号预选区，再次是Ⅲ号和Ⅳ号预选区。场址区的最后确定尚待进一步调查和论证。     

The marine Devonian stratigraphy of Great Britain

Exposed marine Devonian rocks of Great Britain are in South-West England where successions together span most of the Devonian Period. The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) sites of the volume are located in Cornwall and Devon, the latter providing the historic stratotype of the Devonian System. Site stratigraphies are linked to basins of three sub-provinces. Those represent different, albeit largely penecontemporaneous, tectonosedimentary regimes of the differing settings of the Rhenohercynian Zone. The sites and their selection criteria based on their international and national importance in understanding Devonian geological history are listed. A History of Research section provides a detailed review of work on the Devonian rocks of the province from 1839, when Sedgwick and Murchison proposed establishment of the system, to the present and the recent recognition of the relationships between its numerous successions and their dependence upon, extensional and contractional tectonic structures and processes. Other sections detail the Stratigraphical Framework of Devonian strata; Devonian Chronostratigraphy, tracing development and refinement of the Series’ and Stages of the system; and Biostratigraphy, in relation to the faunal groups of the province and their relevance to biozone establishment and environmental discrimination. The chapter concludes with an explanation of current understanding of the evolution of the plate settings of the province that determined the nature of the marine Devonian and its stratigraphy in South-West England.     

Predicting ground-motion variations at the Turkey-flat test site,California

Results of a single group participating in an international experiment are analyzed. The experiment served to verify computational predictions of the ground-motion variations due to near-surface geological effects at a site established for that purpose by the California Department of Conservation. Based on an acceleration record at a rock location, and geotechnical model of medium, records at the other locations of a nearby sedimentary deposit were predicted. A 2-D finite-difference sensitivity analysis suggested that the lateral wave-propagation effects are negligibly small, and locally 1-D computations are sufficient for the present site. Those computations are compared with observations not available to the authors during the blind prediction. Peak accelerations, peak velocities and RMS accelerations were predicted with errors less than 159%, 114% and 62%, respectively. Maxima of the response spectra were fitted within a factor of 2. The predicted and observed Husid's plots (i.e., the normalized cumulative plots of the acceleration squared) have the correlation coefficients 0.98. The detected misfits do not show any simple relation to the instrument location, component, frequency, or time.     

单体土遗址地震动力响应分析——以山丹县刘富寨敌台为例

我国西北地区遗存有大量的单体土遗址,时刻遭受地震等各种灾害的威胁。因其种类繁多,形式各异,很难以一个确定性的模型或计算方式来获取较为准确的结论。为更好地研究及保护单体土遗址,以山丹县刘富寨敌台为例,采用FLAC3D软件对其进行地震动力响应分析,包括位移、应力以及地震波的加速度放大效应。研究结果表明:在实测双向地震荷载作用下,敌台产生了一定的永久位移,且以竖向位移为主(主要由水平地震荷载引起);敌台内部裂隙处产生了拉应力集中,且其接近抗拉强度;地震加速度放大效应随高度增加而强烈,以竖向加速度更为明显;裂隙对竖向位移的产生具有强烈的不利影响,同时裂隙处加速度放大系数最大,但会弱化相邻测点的放大效应。     

Analysis on the noises from continuously monitoring GPS sites

In this paper,we analyze the time series of site coordinates of 27 continuously monitoring GPS sites covered bythe Crustal Movement Observation Network of China over the whole country.The data are obtained in the periodfrom the beginning of the observation to the November of 2005.On the basis of data processing,we analyze thepower spectrum density of coordinate component noise at each site and calculate the spectral indexes manifestingthe noise property of each component.The spectral indexes indicate that for most sites,the noise of time series ofeach coordinate component can be addressed by the model of white noise flicker noise;and for a small amountof sites,it can be described by the model of white noise flicker noise random walk noise.We also quantita-tively estimate each noise component in the model by using the criterion of maximum likelihood estimation.Theresult shows that the white noise in the time series of GPS site coordinates does not constitute the main part ofnoise.Therefore,the error estimation of site movement parameters is usually too small,or too optimistic if weconsider the white noise only.Correspondingly,if this factor is not fully considered in explaining these movementparameters,it might mislead the readers.     

华北地区人类文化遗址的地球化学环境演变

在地球演化历史上,第四纪是人类诞生、发展和壮大的时代,它所形成的地质产物中记录了丰富的生态环境信息。河北省境内第四纪岩石地层(泥河湾组、赤城组、马兰组、迁安组)的风化指数CIA,Fe2O3/FeO,Fe/Mn等地球化学参数可作为年均气温、年均降雨量等气候因子的近似代用指标;华北地区人类文化遗址所在地水系沉积物中Hg,Sn和Au等元素含量随人类文明的演进而阶段性增高。这一结果表明,人类为了适应不断变化的自然地理环境(寒冷、干旱),不得不进行技术创新,从而产生了农业耕作、工业革命及现代信息产业等文明进步成果,但与此同时,却也导致了地质环境的人为污染,甚至可能引发全球温室效应。     

基于14C数据重建中亚地区全新世人类活动的时空演化过程

中亚地区在早期人类演化、迁徙、文明演替与近现代东西方政治、经济、文化和技术交流中具有重要作用,然而由于相关历史记录的缺乏和考古研究的滞后,对于这一地区的人类活动历史一直缺乏系统认识;而研究中亚地区的人类活动特征,人口的变化是重要的参考指标。考古遗址的¹⁴C年代数据的相对密度与人类活动密切相关,成为指示古人口变化的可靠指标,被广泛应用于欧洲和东亚地区的古人口重建,为研究中亚地区古人口变化提供重要参考证据。近年来,中亚地区考古发掘工作获得了快速发展,积累了大量的考古年代学数据,为研究中亚地区古人口变化提供了契机。本研究首次对中亚地区的考古¹⁴C年代学数据进行了系统收集整理,编制中亚地区全新世以来的考古放射性碳数据库（n=1754）,利用ArcGIS绘制时间分辨率为千年尺度的中亚地区考古遗址点分布图,使用¹⁴C数据的总和概率密度（Summed Probability Distribution）重建中亚地区古人口变化,系统地分析了中亚地区全新世以来的人类活动时空变化特征。结果表明,10 cal.ka B.P.以来中亚地区存在连续的人类活动,但存在显著的时空差异。在全新世早期,人类活动强度较弱,遗址数量非常少,且主要分布在塔里木盆地和少数山前区域;从5 cal.ka B.P.开始,遗址点数量和范围开始增加,人口数量也开始增加,在2.7 cal.ka B.P.达到峰值;从2.3 cal.ka B.P.开始,人类活动强度开始减弱,人口数量出现减少趋势。

     

The Impact of the Numbers of Monitoring Stations on the National and Regional Air Quality Assessment in China During 2013–18

China national air quality monitoring network has become the core data source for air quality assessment and management in China. However, during network construction, the significant change in numbers of monitoring sites with time is easily ignored, which brings uncertainty to air quality assessments. This study aims to analyze the impact of change in numbers of stations on national and regional air quality assessments in China during 2013–18. The results indicate that the change in numbers of stations has different impacts on fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) and ozone concentration assessments. The increasing number of sites makes the estimated national and regional PM_2.5 concentration slightly lower by 0.6?2.2 μg m^?3 and 1.4?6.0 μg m^?3 respectively from 2013 to 2018. The main reason is that over time, the monitoring network expands from the urban centers to the suburban areas with low population densities and pollutant emissions. For ozone, the increasing number of stations affects the long-term trends of the estimated concentration, especially the national trends, which changed from a slight upward trend to a downward trend in 2014?15. Besides, the impact of the increasing number of sites on ozone assessment exhibits a seasonal difference at the 0.05 significance level in that the added sites make the estimated concentration higher in winter and lower in summer. These results suggest that the change in numbers of monitoring sites is an important uncertainty factor in national and regional air quality assessments, that needs to be considered in long-term concentration assessment, trend analysis, and trend driving force analysis.     

树轮长年表在全球变化相关领域中的应用研究进展-以14C曲线校正、环境考古和地质灾害事件定年为例

近几十年树轮年代学得到了迅速发展,现已成功建立了大量长度逾千年的树轮长年表。本文评述树轮长年表在全球变化相关研究领域中的应用。树轮长年表可为¹⁴C定年提供校准曲线,从而将样本的¹⁴C年龄转化为日历年龄,提高了¹⁴C测年的精度;也可为环境考古如古木建筑及墓葬等提供定年服务,确定古木构建筑的建造年代;树轮长年表在地质灾害事件定年方面也发挥了重要作用。然而,树轮长年表在上述研究领域的应用也存在不足,最新的国际¹⁴C会议公布的¹⁴C校正曲线中能够准确定年的树轮校正部分仅为过去12 410年,目前尚无法提供更长时间尺度的树轮校正曲线。在对木构建筑进行定年时受到古木样本量不足的限制等。因此,为了更好地发挥树轮长年表的应用潜力,应不断发掘与延长现有树轮宽度长年表,同时建立长年表的C、O同位素序列,以期为长年表的应用不断做出贡献。
