Irrigated agriculture and place‐making in the East Kimberley     

Ruth Lane 《The Australian geographer》2004,35(1):77-94

This paper explores the way in which lived experiences of farmers in the Ord Valley have intersected with representations of the Ord Valley over time. I contrast the development of Stage 1 of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme in the 1960s with a proposal put forward in the late 1990s for greatly expanding the area of irrigated agriculture as Stage 2 of the scheme. I examine the rhetoric employed in planning documents and public media coverage of the first and proposed second stages of the Ord Irrigation Scheme and explore its connections with social identifications of farmers in the Ord Valley since the 1960s. I then argue the value of this approach for understanding the dynamic relationship between the spatial practices and social identifications of farmers and representations of place and land use in public media and planning processes.  相似文献   

从清江流域瓦屋场滑坡复活看人类对坡体的利用     

杨学堂  张振华  王乐华  徐瑞春 《中国地质灾害与防治学报》2004,15(4):44-48

居住在山区的人们主要活动空间是斜坡。人们对斜坡利用的有效与否是由人们对斜坡认识充分与否决定的。倘若人们对斜坡认识不足，就可能遭受因斜坡失稳所带来的损失。因此，对这类斜坡的稳定状况的正确认识很有必要。以清江流域典型滑坡——瓦屋场滑坡的复活为例，通过介绍清江流域瓦屋场滑坡人类活动与该滑坡产生的变形情况，根据滑坡体工程地质条件，针对变形原因用萨尔玛法及不平衡推力法进行了稳定分析，同时对复活机制进行分析。在此基础上按照顺应性准则和协调性原则，提出相应的工程治理措施。鉴于该滑坡为该地区的典型滑坡，从灾害学角度说明人类在利用坡体前，对坡体稳定状况认识的重要性并给出人们合理利用该地区自然边坡的建议。  相似文献   

Nocturnal Surface-Layer Characteristics at the Bottom of a Valley     

O. L. L. Moraes  O. C. Acevedo  R. Da Silva  R. Magnago  A. C. Siqueira 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2004,112(1):159-177

Nighttime data collected at the bottom of a valley locatedin southern Brazil are studied. The analyzed quantities includemomentum and sensible heat fluxes, turbulence statistics andintermittency factors, and their relationship to the stability parameter.The proper interval for averaging and flux calculations is foundto be 20 min, based on the comparison of the fluxes and therandom error associated in their determination. Each data seriesis classified as calm or windy, according to the mean windspeed. A much better dependency of the variables in terms of thestability parameter is found under windy conditions. Analysis ofthe wind direction and topographic scales indicates that distortioneffects under calm conditions affect the flow, while the flow is inlocal equilibrium for windy conditions. In this case, the sensible heatflux shows a minimum for a value of z/L=0.08, while the momentumflux and the normalized scales of the wind components andtemperature decrease monotonically as the stability increases. Anintermittency factor is proposed and shown to be larger (moreintermittency) for more stable conditions.  相似文献

Gold Mineralization in Kottathara Prospect, Attappadi Valley, Kerala, India: a Preliminary Appraisal     

R.V.G. Nair  M.M. Nair  A.K. Maji 《Gondwana Research》2005,8(2):203-212

The Kottathara gold prospect of Attappadi Valley in Kerala is located within the Southern Indian Granulite Terrain comprising charnockite and gneisses with enclaves of high-grade supracrustals. The gold mineralization associated with the basic members of the Attappadi supracrustals and the quartz veins traversing them are confined within the Bhavani Shear Zone. Primarily the gold-quartz lode is emplaced in rheologically preferred zones along the contact of the basic members with the enclosing gneisses subsequent to a period of retrogression and shearing. Ore-mineralogical studies reveal that gold got remobilized and this remobilization is identified with the regional Bhavani Shear. SEM studies indicate that gold occurs in free state and also within sulphides especially pyrite. Variation in grain morphology is clearly discernible in gold occurring within oxidised and in non-oxidised zones.Sequencing of deformational events with associated emplacements of known ages suggests the age of gold mineralization of Attappadi area as between 2 Ga. and 2.5 Ga. The secondary mobilization has to be <2.0 Ga or younger possibly of younger Pan-African age related with the Moyar-Bhavani Shear System. The inherent gold content of the komatiitic metapyroxenites together with the auriferous quartz lodes assigns a lithological control on gold mineralisation. Subsequent folding and remobilization due to the regional shear constrained the geometry of the lode zones implying structural control.  相似文献

常春平  邹学勇  张春来  黄永梅  程宏  赵延治  全占军  邱玉郡  房志玲  王升堂 《山地学报》2006,24(4):489-497

根据IKONOS和Qu ick B ird影像解译和实地调查,对拉萨河下游河谷区风沙源分布特征、沙源粒度特征、植被特征以及人类活动的作用进行了探讨。结果表明,受大中小尺度风场的影响,风沙源地沿河谷两侧呈小面积零星分布在多个地貌部位;河流冲积物是最主要的沙源,沙源粒径90%以上分布在0.25 mm以下,以细沙、极细沙和粘粒成分为主,平均含量占60.69%,易于发生风沙活动;风沙活动是影响沙生植被的主导因素,植物种类和盖度能很好反映沙源地的稳定程度;特别在流动沙地和半流动沙地上,植被演替朝着有利于风沙活动发展的方向进行,是风沙活动的主要驱动因素之一,也是风沙活动不断加剧的产物。尽管自然因素是该区域风沙活动的主要成因,人类活动对其发展起到了强化作用。  相似文献   

The Potential for Rural Heritage Tourism in the Clarence Valley of Northern New South Wales   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Darrell G. Fisher 《The Australian geographer》2006,37(3):411-424

In the past, heritage tourism has been associated with urban sites but there is now an acceptance of the application of this concept to rural areas. In the Clarence Valley in northern New South Wales there is potential for an extension of agritourism associated with working dairy farms to include safari tours to clusters of dairy heritage sites which are scattered throughout the area. Remnants of the old dairy industry, which began in the Clarence River Valley of New South Wales in the late nineteenth century, are scattered throughout the landscape. Over 300 dairy milking bails remain—ghosts of the former thriving industry when over 2000 dairy farms were operating. Concrete foundations of some creameries built in the 1890s can still be found, and three factory buildings still stand. These relics are disappearing quite rapidly and if the importance of the industry is to be recognised by future generations then it seems that some heritage conservation is overdue. At the same time, in order to survive in a post-deregulated economic environment, the remaining 10 dairy farmers in the Clarence Valley are diversifying their activities, with one form of pluriactivity being agritourism. Currently few of these farmers have entered this field but most of them see its potential to broaden their income base. Associated with agritourism at the farm level, the local government authorities see heritage tourism as a way of increasing employment in the region.  相似文献

前期南亚高压的异常增强或者减弱,热带、副热带地区100 hPa高度的异常增高或者降低,热带西风的异常增强或者减弱,对长江流域和华北地区夏季的降水异常具有预示作用。文中设计了一系列的数值试验进行模拟研究,包括控制试验、敏感试验和4组合成试验。合成试验模拟结果表明,前期热带、副热带高度异常分布,能够再现长江流域、华北旱涝情况。前期南亚高压、热带、副热带高度、风异常对长江流域和华北地区夏季降水的异常均有预示作用。100 hPa叠加高度、风异常的敏感试验结果表明:前期南亚高压、热带与副热带地区100 hPa高度场和环流场的异常不仅可以预示、事实上能够引起长江流域和华北夏季降水的异常———前期南亚高压异常增强、热带、副热带地区100 hPa高度场异常增高、西风异常增强,易引起长江流域降水偏多、华北降水偏少;反之,则容易引起长江流域降水偏少、华北降水偏多。  相似文献   

Morphology and stratigraphy of the late Quaternary lower Brazos valley: Implications for paleo-climate, discharge and sediment delivery     

Dennis A. Sylvia  William E. Galloway   《Sedimentary Geology》2006,190(1-4):159-175

A shallow coring and geophysical logging program has recorded the sedimentary fill of the Brazos River valley in the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain. Thermoluminescence dates together with new and recalibrated published radiocarbon dates show the valley fill to include extensive, sandy, buried falling stage and lowstand Oxygen Isotope Stage (OIS) 3 and 2 deposits. These alluvial deposits are punctuated by numerous paleosoil horizons that record alternating periods of cutting, bypass and accumulation. Maximum valley incision and two periods of terrace formation preceded marine lowstand conditions, suggesting significant discordance between preserved fluvial and classical marine system tracts. The latest Pleistocene incision and fill history appears related to cycles of increased discharge and incision, followed by system equilibration and terrace formation. Analysis of the Brazos River incised valley and its contained paleochannels indicates that latest Pleistocene mean annual discharge was as much as four times greater than that of today. This magnitude of discharge in the Brazos would require a two-fold increase in precipitation across the drainage basin. Such an increase is comparable to the present day measured positive El Niño winter precipitation anomaly across the region. Paleochannel geometries and the stratigraphic and sedimentologic data from this investigation support the hypothesis that periods of high-amplitude, El Niño-like climatic perturbations characterized the late Quaternary climate of the south-central and southwestern U.S. This period of high discharge coincides, at least in part, with late OIS 3 progradation of the Brazos delta to the shelf margin, OIS 3 and 2 valley incision across the Texas shelf, and concomitant sand bypass to intraslope basins beyond the shelf edge.  相似文献
