Multi-proxy evidence of postglacial climate and environmental change at Two Frog Lake,central mainland coast of British Columbia,Canada     

Jennifer M. Galloway  R. Timothy Patterson  Christine T. Doherty  Helen M. Roe 《Journal of Paleolimnology》2007,38(4):569-588

Pollen and diatoms preserved in the radiocarbon dated sediments of Two Frog Lake in the Seymour-Belize Inlet Complex of the central mainland coast of British Columbia document postglacial climate change. Two Frog Lake was isolated from the sea prior to 11,040 ± 50 yr BP (13,030 cal. yr BP) when the climate was cool and dry, and open Pinus contorta woodlands covered the landscape. These woodlands were replaced by a mixed conifer forest ca. 10,200 yr BP (ca. 12,300 cal. yr BP) when the climate became moister. A relatively dry and warm early Holocene climate allowed Pseudotsuga menziesii to migrate northward to this site where it grew with Picea, Tsuga heterophylla and Alnus. The climate became cooler and moister at ca. 8,000 yr BP (ca. 9,200 cal. yr BP), approximately 500–1,000 years prior to sites located south of Two Frog Lake and on the Queen Charlotte Islands, but contemporary with sites on the northern mainland coast of British Columbia and south coastal Alaska. Climate heterogeneity in central coastal British Columbia appears to have occurred on a synoptic scale, suggesting that atmospheric dynamics linked to a variable Aleutian Low pressure system may have had an important influence on early Holocene climate change in the Seymour-Belize Inlet Complex. The transition to cooler and moister conditions facilitated the expansion of Cupressaceae and the establishment of a modern-type coastal temperate rainforest dominated by Cupressaceae and T. heterophylla. This was associated with progressive lake acidification. Diatom changes independent of vegetation change during the late Holocene are correlative with the mid-Neoglacial period, when cooler temperatures altered diatom communities.  相似文献   

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: the power spectrum and the matter content of the Universe

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey has now measured in excess of 160 000 galaxy redshifts. This paper presents the power spectrum of the galaxy distribution, calculated using a direct Fourier transform based technique. We argue that, within the k -space region     , the shape of this spectrum should be close to that of the linear density perturbations convolved with the window function of the survey. This window function and its convolving effect on the power spectrum estimate are analysed in detail. By convolving model spectra, we are able to fit the power-spectrum data and provide a measure of the matter content of the Universe. Our results show that models containing baryon oscillations are mildly preferred over featureless power spectra. Analysis of the data yields 68 per cent confidence limits on the total matter density times the Hubble parameter     , and the baryon fraction     , assuming scale-invariant primordial fluctuations.  相似文献   

飓风Juan(2003)路径附近实测飓风浪的谱特性研究   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

Hurricane Juan provides an excellent opportunity to probe into the detailed wave spectral patterns and spectral parameters of a hurricane system, with enough wave spectral observations around Juan＇s track in the deep ocean and shallow coastal water. In this study, Hurricane Juan and wave observation stations around Juan＇s track are introduced. Variations of wave composition are discussed and analyzed based on time series of one-dimensional frequency spectra, as well as wave steepness around Juan＇s track： before, during, and after Juan＇s passing. Wave spectral involvement is studied based on the observed one-dimensional spectra and two-dimensional spectra during the hurricane. The standardization method of the observed wave spectra during Hurricane Juan is discussed, and the standardized spectra show relatively conservative behavior, in spite of the huge variation in wave spectral energy, spectral peak, and peak frequency during this hurricane. Spectral widths＇ variation during Hurricane Juan are calculated and analyzed. A two-layer nesting WW3 model simulation is applied to simulate the one-dimensional and two-dimensional wave spectra, in order to examine WW3＇s ability in simulating detailed wave structure during Hurricane Juan.  相似文献   

Recent environmental change in an upland reservoir catchment: a palaeoecological perspective     

Jessie Woodbridge  Heather J. Davies  Will H. Blake  Ralph M. Fyfe 《Journal of Paleolimnology》2014,52(3):229-244

Reservoirs provide important water resources and require careful management, through ecological monitoring, to identify and mitigate changes in water quality. Long-term data on vegetation changes and the impacts of human activities on reservoir water chemistry, however, are often limited. Setting restoration targets can therefore be problematic. Palaeoenvironmental research has made little use of reservoir sediments and there is great potential for palaeoecological data to be incorporated into management planning. Diatoms and pollen were analysed in sediment cores from Venford Reservoir, southwest England, to infer pH and land-use changes, respectively, over the last century. Diatom-inferred (DI) pH indicates that reservoir pH declined from ~pH 6.0 in the early part of the record and reached a low between AD 1920 and 1940 (~pH 5.6), which was likely associated with fossil fuel combustion and acid deposition. DI-pH then increased, but values remained relatively low, even in the most recent sediments (~pH 5.7), and the magnitude of inferred pH change over time was small. Land-use changes, such as increased grazing intensity and erosion, and establishment of pine plantations, also likely influenced reservoir water chemistry changes over time. Understanding the impacts of such factors on water chemistry has implications for future catchment land-use planning, which is essential for managing water resources. The pollen record indicates a shift from heather-dominated to grass-dominated vegetation since ~AD 1935–1950, which could be related to increased grazing intensity. The palaeoecological dataset is valuable as a long-term record against which short-term monitoring datasets and future changes can be assessed.  相似文献

Three-dimensional finite element analysis of the direct simple shear test     

James Doherty  Martin Fahey 《Computers and Geotechnics》2011

This paper investigates two aspect of the direct simple shear (DSS) using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Firstly, the different total stress paths followed by DDS devices that impose constant cross-sectional area using a stiff external boundary, and those that use a constant total stress lateral boundary condition are explored. This is done by conducting finite element analysis of a single cubic element. It is shown that this element may be subjected to perfect simple shear using four different boundary condition types. Each boundary condition type results in the same effective stress path, but different total stress paths and excess pore pressures. The boundary condition types are related to DSS devices in use. The second aspect investigated is the fact that no DSS device can impose true simple shear conditions, as they are unable to generate the required complementary shear stress on the vertical boundaries. Full three-dimensional finite element analysis of a UWA/Berkeley type simple shear device, which has a constant total stress lateral boundary, is then presented. The results are compared to the ideal solution and effects of stress non-homogeneity on the friction angle and undrained shear strength, deduced from a standard interpretation, are established.  相似文献
