Patterns of Growth and Change: Depicting the Impacts of Restructuring in Idaho     

Gayla Smutny 《The Professional geographer》2002,54(3):438-453

Geographers and other social scientists investigating the impact of economic and demographic restructuring have tended to focus on urban metropolitan areas. There has been much less exploration of the local impacts of such change in largely nonmetropolitan locales. Many of these nonmetropolitan regions, however, are some of the fastest growing in the U.S. This article addresses this issue by examining, at the county level, economic and population trends in the state of Idaho. Generally recognized for its agricultural outputs (such as potatoes), Idaho experienced a population growth rate of 18.1 percent during the 1990s, making it one of the fastest growing states in the U.S. However, population growth and the associated changes in the local economy were unevenly distributed across the state. This article develops a typology of growth and change, indicating patterns of growth related to two predominant trends: high–tech footloose capital investment and amenity– and tourism–related residential development. Implications of this analysis for future research are discussed.  相似文献   

青藏高原东南缘玉龙雪山（5596m）晚新生代隆升的侵蚀与构造控制作用   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3       下载免费PDF全文

玉龙雪山位于青藏高原东南缘,它以其独特的地貌特征而引人关注。其顶部为一古残留面,在30×20km²范围内海拔>5000m的山峰达18座,高出其周围地区平均海拔近1000m。在分析该区地质地貌特征基础上,我们根据岩石圈弹性挠曲地壳均衡理论,以较保守的残留面海拔4250m为当时金沙江下切玉龙雪山的基准面,结果表明:由于虎跳峡中大规模物质剥蚀而引起玉龙雪山地壳均衡反弹,导致山体隆升了468m,这完全是侵蚀作用对于玉龙雪山隆升的贡献。而玉龙雪山与周围地区的剩余地势高差,主要由正断层等构造作用造成。因此,玉龙雪山的隆升是侵蚀与构造作用共同控制的结果。该区最大量地壳均衡反弹的触发机制是5.0².5M a期间玉龙雪山东西两侧正断层的发生。另一方面,作为玉龙雪山的南东延伸部分——点苍山（4122m）在5.0².5M a同样也发生了构造伸展,但是没有遭受大规模的河流侵蚀作用,因此其海拔相对要低很多。这进一步说明地壳均衡反弹导致了玉龙雪山隆升,并加大了玉龙雪山与点苍山在原有基础上的地势高差。  相似文献   

甘肃龙担早第四纪黄土堆积古地磁年代研究          下载免费PDF全文

刘平  张崧  韩家懋  刘东生 《第四纪研究》2008,28(5):796-805

临夏盆地位于青藏高原东北边缘,是青藏高原与黄土高原衔接带上的一个晚新生代断陷盆地。龙担剖面地处临夏盆地的中央部分,产有大量哺乳动物化石,从化石证据中得出与早更新世午城黄土同时期的黄土沉积,但是岩性看起来又与中国东部黄土高原上典型的午城黄土有差别。本文基于龙担剖面中黄土-古土壤序列的古地磁研究、粒度以及磁化率分析,主要对正极性N3的极性归属问题进行阐述,N3对应于Matuyama极性时中下部的Olduvai极性亚时期,建立了该剖面的年代地层序列。龙担动物群的上化石层位于Olduvai极性亚时内部,时代为1.77～1.95Ma,从而得出龙担动物群的上化石层年龄为1.9Ma,下化石层位于Reunion极性亚时之下,时代为2.25Ma。  相似文献

2016年7~8月对慕士塔格山卡尔塔马克冰川补给径流与非冰川补给径流进行了采样分析,通过统计分析、主成分分析、Piper图、Gibbs图、正演模型等方法分析了冰川补给径流和非冰川补给径流的水化学特征及其主控因素。结果表明：冰川补给径流和非冰川补给径流两种水体均呈碱性,水化学类型皆为Ca²⁺-SO₄^2--HCO₃^-,但冰川补给径流和非冰川补给径流的pH值、EC和TDS均存在显著差异（p<0.05）,主要离子浓度间均存在极显著差异（p<0.01）。冰川补给径流中所有离子具有同源性,而非冰川补给径流NO₃^-显示出与其它离子来源不同。正演模型结果显示,大气输入、硅酸盐风化、碳酸盐风化和蒸发岩溶解对冰川补给径流和非冰川补给径流中离子浓度的贡献率分别为10.47%、0.55%、65.61%、23.37%和1.52%、19.57%、60.37%、18.54%。在冰川补给径流中,碳酸盐风化对径流中离子浓度的贡献占主导地位,蒸发岩溶解占次要地位;在非冰川补给径流中,碳酸盐风化亦占主要支配地位,而硅酸盐风化占次要地位。两者差异的原因是硅酸盐风化相比蒸发岩溶解更难进行,冰川补给径流中水岩相互作用时间较短,故硅酸盐风化贡献率较低;而非冰川补给径流经过更充分的水岩相互作用,故硅酸盐风化贡献率较高。其成果可为西部地区水资源管理应用提供参考。  相似文献   

基于交通网络视角的跨界旅游区合作的微观机制研究——以武陵山区为例     

王兆峰  徐赛  邓楚雄 《地理研究》2018,37(2):250-262

旅游跨界合作扩大了旅游的场和域。武陵山区作为典型的跨界旅游区,其地域交通网络系统日益成为影响当地旅游合作格局的重要因素。在识别跨界旅游合作主体并分析合作模式的基础上,对当地政府、旅游企业、行业组织三大主体进行调研,并运用结构方程模型构建交通网络优化下的旅游合作模型,探讨交通网络对跨界旅游区合作机制的影响因素和路径。研究发现：① 交通网络优化对旅游合作条件、旅游合作意识有显著正向影响,旅游合作条件、旅游合作意识对旅游合作行为有显著正向影响;交通网络优化对旅游合作行为有间接影响作用,且通过旅游合作条件和合作意识两条路径对合作行为产生正向影响。② 基于各主体在旅游合作进程中的地位不同及其关注点各异,跨界旅游合作机制也存在差异性。研究结论对武陵山区开展跨界旅游合作和旅游产业扶贫具有显著的理论价值和实践意义,同时试图为其他跨界旅游区开展纵深协作融合提供有效借鉴与指导,也可为其他区域旅游发展提供借鉴和参考。  相似文献

Tree-ring standardized chronologies are developed by 78 cores collected from the eastern and western Helan Mountain. Statistical analysis shows that both the STD and RES chronologies correlate negatively with the temperature of different periods of early half year, especially with January to August mean （JA） temperature, which means that JA temperature is one of the predominant limiting factors of tree growth in the Helan Mountain. Based on this analysis, we reconstructed JA temperature, and the explained variance is 43.3% （F=21.422, p〈0.001 ）. The comparatively high temperature periods in the reconstruction were： 1805-1818 1828-1857, 1899-1907, 1919-1931 and 1968-1995; and the comparatively low temperatu re periods happened in 1858-1872, 1883-1895 and 1935-1953. Ten-year moving average curve shows three slow uplifting trends： 1766-1853, 1862-1931 and 1944-1995. Each temperature increase was followed by a sudden temperature decrease about 10 years, that is to say, the JA temperature in the Helan Mountain is characterized by slow increase and sudden decrease. The 70- and 10.77-year periodicities detected in the temperature series correspond to the Gleissberg （80-year） and Schwabe （11-year） periodicities of solar activity respectively, the 2.11-2.62 years cycles are considered to be influenced by QBO （Quasi-Biennial-Oscillation） and the local environmental change.  相似文献   

Origin and post-glacial evolution of surface cracks: A case study from the area of the Last Glaciation,north-eastern Poland     

Tomasz Karasiewicz  Anna Hrynowiecka  Piotr Weckwerth  Lucyna Tobojko  Dominik Pawłowski  Wojciech Wysota  Arkadiusz Krawiec  Michał Dąbrowski 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2024,49(2):525-548

The analysis of LiDAR-based digital elevation models revealed the existence of groups of longitudinal fractures in the ground in northern Poland at the limit of the ice sheet's extent during its last maximum. Our research on the closed elongated depressions (CEDs) of the Jedwabno test field (Szuć site, north-east Poland) focuses on explaining their origins and their post-glacial history. This region was covered by an ice sheet and glacitectonically active during the Vistulian, and at least some surface fractures are possible witnesses to this activity. Using geomorphological mapping, sedimentological and geophysical research, we assumed it was related that the origin of these features here is associated with groundwater migration at the end of the Vistulian glaciation or later when groundwater flow intensified due to a rapid climate warming that caused permafrost to melt. The thawing of permafrost caused to transition from continuous permafrost to discontinuous, which in turn created groundwater flow that was probably responsible for the development of the surface cracks (fractures). Radiocarbon, palaeobiological (pollen, Cladocera) and geochemical studies allowed for an estimation of the formation time of these unique surface cracks in the Older Dryas. Prevailing conditions were also reconstructed for the later dynamic changes of the end of the Late Vistulian glaciation and in the Late Holocene until the Subatlantic Period (Megalayan stage). The surface cracks with steep slopes, despite their small area, are extraordinary sedimentation traps that have, in a special way, retained an almost complete record of the environmental and climate changes of the Late Glacial. There are sedimentological gaps in the Holocene, especially after the Preboreal (old part of the Greenlandian Stage), caused by changes in water levels, aeolian processes and human activity.  相似文献
