The Geologic Time Scale and the Italian stratigraphic record

The construction of the Geologic Time Scale (GTS) is a titanic scientific challenge that has been under way for two centuries and will require much dedicated effort in the future. Italy preserves a paramount stratigraphic record of Mesozoic and Cenozoic marine sediments that have been significant in the development of the modern GTS. The Italian stratigraphic record has been histori-cally important in introducing and defining the standard Chronostratigraphic Units (CUs) of the Neogene and Quaternary. Pelagic successions from Northern Apen-nines and Southern Alps have been used in the seventies for integrating the late Cretaceous-Paleogene Geomag-netic Polarity Time Scale (GPTS) with planktonic microfossil biostratieraohv and standard CUs. This was a major contribution to the construction of a new gener-ation of GTS based on integrated magnetobiochronol-ogy. The middle Miocene to early Pleistocene marinerecord from Sicily and southern Italy has been funda-mental for establishing the recently developed Astro-nomical Time Scale (ATS). In prospect, there are many potentials still to be exploited in the Italian marine stratigraphic record for implementing the GTS by defin-ing GSSPs of various CUs, improving magneto-biochronology and extending downwards the ATS.

本介绍撒岱沟相矿区应用激电偶极－偶极装置的找矿效果。通过对其成果分析和钻探证实：利用该装置所获资料，不仅能从断面上直观地推测出极化体的分布及产状变化，还能从不同深度的ηｓ平面成果中分析出极化体在地下空间赋存状态的基本轮廓。     

活动星系核VLBI观测的新进展

介绍了活动星系核（AGN）的VLBI观测的新近展，特别关注其中心结构和低光度的活动星系核。主要目的是强调VLBI观测在该领域的重要性。     

电测深ρ＿s差值法的应用效果

用电测深研究地电断面、寻找隐伏多金属矿体时，以往采用ρ＿ｓ（或η＿ｓ）等值线断面图进行地质推断解释，因受浅源信号的干扰，效果差。本文提出了采用ρ＿ｓ（或η＿ｓ）差值法，能排除浅源干扰信号，反映出地电断面的相对变化，突出了深部微弱信息，取得了较好的地质解释效果。     

基于三维激光扫描数据的建筑物三维建模

激光扫描技术在工业模具设计和制造方面,特别是在逆向工程中,已经有了广泛的应用。随着激光中远程激光扫描仪的出现,激光扫描技术开始应用于测绘领域。与传统的高精度的点测量方式不同,三维激光扫描测量仪采用形测量方式,获取被测量目标的大量三维点,满足了高精度逆向工程对三维点的数据量的需求。
