末次盛冰期以来库布齐沙漠环境变化

中国北方季风边缘区沙漠/沙地如何响应气候变化及其反馈研究对于理解干旱半干旱地区现代地表过程及其未来环境演变趋势有重要的科学意义。库布齐沙漠作为中国北方季风边缘区中东部唯一的以流动、半流动为主的沙漠,现代地表景观与周围沙地（如毛乌素沙地、浑善达克沙地、科尔沁沙地等）明显不同。晚第四纪以来库布齐沙漠与季风边缘区中东部沙地环境演化过程到底是否一致,其湿润期究竟发生于何时,尚存颇多争议。区域风成沉积和湖泊沉积记录研究得出的结论明显不同,存在中晚全新世和早中全新世湿度最优期的分歧。对库布齐沙漠风成沉积年代-岩性的概率密度分布（Probability Density Function,PDF）进行处理,与周边沙地风成沉积和湖泊沉积古环境记录进行了对比分析。结果表明：末次盛冰期以来库布齐沙漠与季风边缘区中东部沙地环境演化过程总体一致,27.6—10 ka和晚全新世（2—0 ka）,风沙堆积强烈,气候相对干旱;早全新世（10—6 ka）古土壤渐次发育,沙丘逐渐被固定,湿度增加,环境状况有所改善;中全新世（6—2 ka）古土壤广泛发育,沙丘经历固定成壤,气候最为湿润。区域环境演变过程受控于低纬太阳辐射和高纬冰量变化的双重制约。     

开口柔性防护网调控泥石流性能试验研究

柔性防护网是防治泥石流灾害的重要工程措施之一,现有防治结构以闭口防护网形式为主,易发生堵塞且调控能力欠佳。为此,提出一种开口柔性防护网结构,并基于理论分析、物理模型试验开展了开口柔性防护网对泥石流的调控性能研究,推导泥石流速度衰减率、爬升高度和柔性防护网拦挡率的理论公式。结果表明：与闭口柔性防护网结构相比,该结构起到了良好的自清洁作用,且可有效调控泥石流速度峰值;所推导的无量纲理论公式计算结果与物理试验结果具有较好的一致性;速度衰减率、爬升高度和拦挡率主要由相对开口高度、无量纲流深、泥石流相对密度和弗罗德数控制;速度衰减率和拦挡率与相对开口高度呈负相关,与泥石流相对密度呈正相关,爬升高度与相对开口高度、相对密度均呈负相关。上述研究可为开口柔性防护网在泥石流防治工程中的应用提供理论及技术支持。     

新疆昆仑山北缘一带含金硅铁建造中金矿床特征及找矿标志

含金硅铁建造型铁金矿是近年来在新疆昆仑山地区发现的又一具有重要远景意义的矿床类型,经过地学工作者们艰苦努力,已经相继发现帕西木、苦阿-恰克能萨依、麻特等多处矿床(点)。矿床产于石炭系阿羌岩组(C1a),含矿岩系为一套海底喷发-喷流沉积形成的海相火山喷发-正常碎屑沉积夹含金硅铁建造,区域上具有明显的层控矿床特征,类似于我国黑龙江省"东风山式"金矿,成因类型属火山-沉积作用有关的沉积变质改造型矿床。     

南美洲的几种独特动物

南美大陆地理环境复杂多样,而且历史上与其它大陆长期隔离,因此南美洲动物不仅种属特别丰富,而且拥有很多特有的珍奇的动物。九年制义务教育初中地理教材中提到的南美独有动物主要包括两类：哺乳类的树懒、大食蚁兽、卷尾猴和鸟类的蜂鸟、巨嘴鸟等。     

泥石流冲击弧形拦挡坝动力响应研究

Dam foundation is subjected to a larger impact force when debris flow runs up, causing stress concentration and local impact failure. To address this problem, in this study the vertical structures are optimized into arc-shaped dams. Based on the principle of momentum and energy conservation, the theoretical calculations of the impact process of debris flow and arc-shaped dam are carried out, and the formulas of impact force and maximum run-up height of debris flow are deduced. The theoretical formulas are verified through a series of physical model tests of debris flow impact arc-shaped dam. The results show that the results of the physical model are highly consistent with those of the theoretical calculations, indicating that the proposed theoretical formulas are applicable in the calculation of the impact of debris flow on arc-shaped dam. The debris velocity, impact force and the maximum run-up height are proportional to the flume slope of debris flow. The impact force and the maximum run-up height are mainly controlled by Froude number(Fr), flume slope(?), and arc-shaped radius(R). Both the impact force and the maximum run-up height have quadratic relationships with the Froude number, and are inversely proportional to the cosine of the flume slope. Compared with the rigid vertical structures, the arc-shaped dams have no signicicant influence on the maximum run-up height, but it can reduce the normal impact force on the dam considerably, and the structure strength can also be enhanced by the strengthening of local structure. This study provides a theoretical and technical support for the dam structure design.
