Lake-level changes inferred from seismic surveying and core sampling of the floor of Lake Baikal near the Selenga River delta can be used to constrain regional climatic history and appear to be correlated to global climate changes represented by marine oxygen isotope stages (MIS). The reflection pattern and correlation to the isotope stages indicate that the topset and progradational foreset sediments of the deltas formed during periods of stable lake levels and warm climatic conditions. During warm stages, the lake level was high, and during cold stages it was low. The drop in the lake level due to cooling from MIS 5 through MIS 4 is estimated to be 33-38 m; from MIS 3 through MIS 2, it fell an additional 11-15 m. Because the lake level is chiefly controlled by evaporation and river input, we infer that more water was supplied to Lake Baikal during warm stages.  相似文献   

Building community knowledge,resilience and resistance through research     

Matsuoka  Martha  Urquiza  John 《GeoJournal》2021,87(2):249-266

Skyrocketing housing costs in the U.S. have fueled research on gentrification, displacement, and neighborhood change, addressing how development processes impact low-income and working-class neighborhoods. Scholars have pointed to the importance of community-based knowledge in understanding the impact of gentrification at the neighborhood level (Chapple, Loukaitou-Sideris, Gonzalez, et al. 2017a; Chapple, Loukaitou-Sideris, Waddell, et al., 2017b) as well as how spatial knowledge informs organizing and activism of community-based organizations (Maharawal & McElroy, Annals of the American Association of Geographers, 108(2):380–389, 2018; Fields, Journal of Urban Affairs, 37(2):144–165, 2015; Elwood 2006a, The Professional Geographer, 58(2):197–208, 2006b). Despite the increasing research, less has centered on the knowledge of community organizers and residents in gentrifying neighborhoods and how community-driven mapping contributes to understanding of neighborhood level change from gentrification. This article presents a case study of community-driven research, analysis, and organizing of the Northeast Los Angeles Alliance (NELAA) a community-based member collective organization in Northeast Los Angeles with support of its academic partner Occidental College. The case study illustrates how community-driven research tied to organizing in the form of “countermapping” challenges the dominant practice and narrative of top-down property-centered development (Mahawaral and McElroy 2018). Further, the case study illustrates new ways to incorporate community knowledge into understanding of gentrification, displacement, and neighborhood change by: (1) introducing community-based collectives as particular types of community-based organizations utilizing community mapping and GIS; and, (2) illustrating detailed changes at the block and neighborhood levels by recognizing community-driven research and mapping as a source of in-depth and spatially specific historical knowledge and community vision.

Horizontal and vertical distributions of <Superscript>137</Superscript>Cs in seabed sediments around the river mouth near Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant     

Tadahiko Tsuruta  Hisaya Harada  Toshiharu Misonou  Toshiyuki Matsuoka  Yasuyuki Hodotsuka 《Journal of Oceanography》2017,73(5):547-558

Investigations including a bathymetric survey, sonic prospecting, and vibrocoring were performed to understand the horizontal and vertical distribution of ¹³⁷Cs in seabed sediments in shallow seas with depths less than 30 m near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Especially, features of ¹³⁷Cs distributions in deeper sections of the seabed sediments were studied to evaluate the vertical heterogeneity of ¹³⁷Cs distribution in the seabed sediments in shallow seas. The distribution area of the seabed sediments was less than half of the investigation area, and the locations of the seabed sediments were divided into flat and terrace-like seafloors based on their topographical features. The thicknesses of the seabed sediment layers were mostly <2 m. The ¹³⁷Cs inventories in the seabed sediments varied from 13 ± 1 to 3,510 ± 26 kBq m^?2, and continuous distributions of ¹³⁷Cs at depths greater than 81 cm were observed. The ¹³⁷Cs distributions were not uniform; however, the ¹³⁷Cs inventories tended to be larger near the base of the steeper ascending slopes than in the terrace-like seafloors themselves. Based on the relationship between the ¹³⁷Cs inventories and mean shear stress, features of the seafloor topography were inferred to be significant control factors governing the horizontal and vertical distribution of ¹³⁷Cs in the seabed sediments. Rapid changes and multiple peaks in the vertical profile of the ¹³⁷Cs distributions suggest that they are related to pulse input caused by heavy-rain events. Change in the ¹³⁷Cs inventories with depth in this study are larger than those reported in previous studies, indicating earlier results of ¹³⁷Cs inventories per unit in seabed sediments in shallow seas, especially near the river mouth, which drains a radiologically highly-contaminated basin, were underestimated.  相似文献   

Does heavy oil pollution induce bacterial diseases in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus?   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Jun-Young Song  Kei Nakayama  Yasunori Murakami  Sung-Ju Jung  Myung-Joo Oh  Satoru Matsuoka  Hidemasa Kawakami  Shin-Ichi Kitamura   《Marine pollution bulletin》2008,57(6-12):889

As basic research for the effect of heavy oil on the fish immune system, in this study, the number of leukocyte was counted in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, after exposure to heavy oil at a concentration of 30 g/8 L for 3 days. To compare the numbers of bacteria in the skin mucus between oil-exposed and control fish, viable bacteria were enumerated by counting colony forming unit (CFU). Compared with 5.79 ± 1.88 × 10⁷ leukocytes/mL in the controls, the exposed fish demonstrated higher counts, averaging 1.45 ± 0.45 × 10⁸ cells/mL. The bacterial numbers of control fish were 4.27 ± 3.68 × 10⁴ CFU/g, whereas they were 4.58 ± 1.63 × 10⁵ CFU/g in the exposed fish. The results suggest that immune suppression of the fish occurred due to heavy oil stressor, and bacteria could invade in the mucus, resulting in the increasing leukocyte number to prevent infectious disease.  相似文献

Vitrinite reflectance and consolidation characteristics of the post‐middle Miocene Forearc Basin in central and eastern Boso Peninsula,central Japan: Implications for basin subsidence     

Nana Kamiya  Yuzuru Yamamoto  Feng Zhang  Weiren Lin 《Island Arc》2020,29(1)

To understand the sedimentary development of the Boso Forearc Basin, central Japan, since ~ 3 Ma, we investigated paleothermal structure and consolidation trends in the central and eastern parts of the forearc basin through vitrinite reflectance measurements and consolidation tests. Vitrinite reflectance (R_m) was in the range 0.33 % to 0.61 % for the Miura Group in the central part of the forearc basin and 0.34 % to 0.41 % for the Miura and Kazusa Groups in the eastern. These values suggest a roughly uniform vitrinite reflectance for the Miura Group from the central to eastern parts. No significant vitrinite reflectance difference is observed across the ~ 3 Ma Kurotaki Unconformity in the eastern part of the basin. The consolidation yield stress (p_c) was calculated as 27.5 MPa and 32.2 MPa for the Kiyosumi and Amatsu Formations of the Miura Group in the eastern part, respectively. Both the p_c values are consistent quantitatively with represent the trend of the maximum overburden pressure estimated from the thickness and density of overlying sediments, and the difference in p_c is expected by the maximum burial depths of the strata at the sampling localities. Values of p_c in the eastern part of the basin increase with thickness of overlying sediment, showing no break across the Kurotaki Unconformity. Considering the eroded thickness of the Miura Group, the continuous trends in vitrinite reflectance and consolidation between the Miura and Kazusa Groups in the eastern part reflect the greater deposition of the eastern part of the Boso Forearc Basin since ~ 2.3 Ma.  相似文献   

Late Anisian radiolarian assemblages from the Yarlung‐Tsangpo Suture Zone in the Jinlu area,Zedong, southern Tibet: Implications for the evolution of Neotethys     

Dishu Chen  Hui Luo  Xueheng Wang  Bo Xu  Atsushi Matsuoka 《Island Arc》2019,28(4)

Abundant Triassic radiolarian fossils were obtained from varicolored bedded cherts exposed in the Buruocang section near Jinlu village, Zedong, southern Tibet. The radiolarian‐bearing rocks represent fragmented remnants of the Neotethys oceanic sediments belonging to the mélange complex of the east part of the Yarlung‐Tsangpo Suture Zone. Two new middle Late Anisian radiolarian assemblages recognized from this section named Oertlispongus inaequispinosus and Triassocampe deweveri, respectively, are compared with those known from Europe, Far East Russia, Japan, and Turkey. These Anisian radiolarian fossils are the first reported in southern Tibet and the oldest radiolarian record within the Yarlung‐Tsangpo Suture Zone. They improve time constraints for the evolution of Neotethys in southern Tibet.  相似文献   

Phytoplankton community adaptation to changing light levels in the southern Beaufort Sea,Canadian Arctic     

Atsushi Matsuoka  Pierre Larouche  Michel Poulin  Warwick Vincent  Hiroshi Hattori 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2009

The chlorophyll a specific absorption coefficient of phytoplankton, a_φ^∗(λ) is an important parameter to determine for primary production models and for the estimation of phytoplankton physiological condition. Knowledge of this parameter at high latitudes where nutrient rich cold water submitted to low incident light is a common environment is almost nonexistent. To address this issue, we investigated the light absorption properties of phytoplankton as a function of irradiance, temperature, and nutrients using a large data set in the southern Beaufort Sea during the open water to ice cover transition period. The a_φ^∗(λ) tended to increase from autumn when open water still existed to early winter when sea ice cover was formed, resulting from a biological selection of smaller-size phytoplankton more efficient to absorb light. There was no significant correlation between a_φ^∗(λ) and irradiance or temperature for both seasons. However, a_φ^∗(λ) showed a significant positive correlation with NO₃ + NO₂. Implications of the results for phytoplankton community adaptation to changing light levels are discussed.  相似文献
