A new species of Pluridens (Mosasauridae: Halisaurinae) from the upper Campanian of Southern Nigeria
The Upper Cretaceous of Africa has produced a diverse fauna of mosasaurs, including the highly specialized, long-jawed Pluridens. The type of Pluridens walkeri comes from the Maastrichtian Farin-Doutchi Formation of Niger, with a second, referred specimen coming from the Campanian section of the Campanian-Maastrichtian Nkporo Shale near Calabar, in southern Nigeria. Comparisons of this referred specimen with the holotype suggest that it represents a distinct and more primitive species. The Calabar jaw resembles P. walkeri in being long and narrow anteriorly with a shallow subdental shelf, and in having small, numerous, recurved teeth with medially positioned replacement pits. However, it lacks many of the derived features that characterize Pluridens walkeri, such as the extremely long and straight jaw, the extreme lateral protrusion and subcircular section of the dentary, strong transverse expansion of the dental thecae, and extreme reduction and increase in number of the teeth. The Calabar Pluridens is therefore referred to a new species, Pluridens calabaria. Following recent studies, Pluridens is considered to represent a highly derived member of the Halisaurinae. The marked differences between the Campanian and Maastrichtian species of the genus underscore the rapid pace of mosasaur evolution during the Cretaceous. 相似文献

According to the old documents, two historic tsunamis of volcanic origin attacked Hokkaido, northern Japan. They are the 1640 Komagatake event which killed more than 700 people and the 1741 Oshima-Ohshima event which killed 1467 people. In order to obtain more information of these old tsunami disasters, we studied onshore tsunami deposits associated with these events. Tsunami deposits are identified by their sedimentary structure and granulometric characteristics. We traced the 1640 and 1741 tsunami deposits showing similar features at outcrops, by making pits or trenches. Minimum runup heights of these historic tsunamis were revealed by these tsunami deposit distributions. Trench survey is one of the best way to find and study onshore paleo-tsunami deposit 相似文献

This study aims to examine how future climate, temperature and precipitation specifically, are expected to change under the A2, A1B, and B1 emission scenarios over the six states that make up the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program (SCIPP): Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Mississippi. SCIPP is a member of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-funded Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments network, a program which aims to better connect climate-related scientific research with in-the-field decision-making processes. The results of the study found that the average temperature over the study area is anticipated to increase by 1.7°C to 2.4°C in the twenty-first century based on the different emission scenarios with a rate of change that is more pronounced during the second half of the century. Summer and fall seasons are projected to have more significant temperature increases, while the northwestern portions of the region are projected to experience more significant increases than the Gulf coast region. Precipitation projections, conversely, do not exhibit a discernible upward or downward trend. Late twenty-first century exhibits slightly more precipitation than the early century, based on the A1B and B1 scenario, and fall and winter are projected to become wetter than the late twentieth century as a whole. Climate changes on the city level show that greater warming will happened in inland cities such as Oklahoma City and El Paso, and heavier precipitation in Nashville. These changes have profound implications for local water resources management as well as broader regional decision making. These results represent an initial phase of a broader study that is being undertaken to assist SCIPP regional and local water planning efforts in an effort to more closely link climate modeling to longer-term water resources management and to continue assessing climate change impacts on regional hazards management in the South. 相似文献

The Schellart's [Schellart, W.P., 2007, The potential influence of subduction zone polarity on overriding plate deformation, trench migration and slab dip angle. Tectonophysics, 445, 363–372.] paper uses slab dip and upper plate extension for testing the westward drift. His analysis and discussion are misleading for the study of the net rotation of the lithosphere since the first 125 km of subduction zones are sensitive also to other parameters such upper plate thickness, geometry and obliquity of the subduction zone with respect to the convergence direction. The deeper (> 125 km) part cannot easily be compared as well because E- or NE-directed subduction zones have seismic gaps between 270–630 km. Moreover the velocity of subduction hinge cannot be precisely estimated and it does not equal to backarc spreading due to accretionary prism growth and asthenospheric intrusion at the subduction hinge. It is shown here that hinge migration in the upper plate or lower plate reference frames supports a general global polarization of the lithosphere in agreement with the westward drift of the lithosphere. The W-directed subduction zones appear controlled by the slab–mantle interaction with slab retreat imposed by the eastward mantle flow. The opposite E-NE-directed subduction zones seem rather mainly controlled by the convergence rate, plus density, thickness and viscosity of the upper and lower plates. Finally, the geological and geophysical asymmetries recorded along subduction and rift zones as a function of their polarity with respect to the tectonic mainstream are not questioned in the Schellart's paper, but they rather represent the basic evidence for the westward drift of the lithosphere. 相似文献

北京“7.21”特大暴雨高分辨率模式分析场及预报分析 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
2012年7月21-22日,61年以来最强降水袭击北京,北京大部分地区出现大暴雨,局部特大暴雨,过程雨量大、雨势强、范围广,造成了严重影响。此次强降水配置较为典型,业务预报提前指示出了此次过程,但预报结果存在强度偏弱,峰值偏晚等偏差。在对此次大暴雨进行综合分析的基础上,利用中国自动气象站与NOAA气候预测中心卫星反演降水资料CMORPH(Climate Prediction Center Morphing Technique)产品融合的逐时降水量网格数据资料作为观测,着重对北京市气象局新的快速更新循环同化和预报系统(BJ-RUC v2.0)的3 km高分辨率模式分析场和预报场进行了检验与分析,以期通过对中尺度模式预报性能的了解,为暴雨可预报性问题提供进一步的参考。研究结果表明,此次特大暴雨过程水汽条件极佳,降水区域较为集中,呈现西南一东北走向的中尺度雨带特征。利用常规检验评分对预报降水的时间序列进行检验发现,预报降水在时间上滞后,降水强度偏弱,存在偏西南的位置误差,并且未能反映降水系统的线状特征。进一步利用检验连续降水区域定量降水预报的CRA(contiguous rain area)方法,对预报误差进行分解表明,整体降水(5 mm/h)的主要误差来自于位置和形状误差;而在暴雨(20 mm/h)的预报中,降水强度的偏差占误差的主要部分。最后结合对预报场大尺度环流和物理量的诊断(水汽条件和不稳定条件),分析探讨了此次极端暴雨预报不佳的原因。 相似文献

The increasing availability of remotely sensed data offers a new opportunity to address landslide hazard assessment at larger
spatial scales. A prototype global satellite-based landslide hazard algorithm has been developed to identify areas that may
experience landslide activity. This system combines a calculation of static landslide susceptibility with satellite-derived
rainfall estimates and uses a threshold approach to generate a set of ‘nowcasts’ that classify potentially hazardous areas.
A recent evaluation of this algorithm framework found that while this tool represents an important first step in larger-scale
near real-time landslide hazard assessment efforts, it requires several modifications before it can be fully realized as an
operational tool. This study draws upon a prior work’s recommendations to develop a new approach for considering landslide
susceptibility and hazard at the regional scale. This case study calculates a regional susceptibility map using remotely sensed
and in situ information and a database of landslides triggered by Hurricane Mitch in 1998 over four countries in Central America.
The susceptibility map is evaluated with a regional rainfall intensity–duration triggering threshold and results are compared
with the global algorithm framework for the same event. Evaluation of this regional system suggests that this empirically
based approach provides one plausible way to approach some of the data and resolution issues identified in the global assessment.
The presented methodology is straightforward to implement, improves upon the global approach, and allows for results to be
transferable between regions. The results also highlight several remaining challenges, including the empirical nature of the
algorithm framework and adequate information for algorithm validation. Conclusions suggest that integrating additional triggering
factors such as soil moisture may help to improve algorithm performance accuracy. The regional algorithm scenario represents
an important step forward in advancing regional and global-scale landslide hazard assessment. 相似文献
