Science and the desertification debate   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

David S.G. Thomas 《Journal of Arid Environments》1997,37(4):599-608

Desertification is an environmental issue that has major environmental and social dimensions, and which has been controversial in a number of respects. The recent UN Convention on Desertification and Drought places considerable emphasis on the social dimensions of the problem and the role local peoples and NGOs have to play in tackling it. When desertification first became regarded as a major issue in the 1970s, science was seen to have a major role in understanding and solving the problem, but in some circles has been regarded as failing to contribute usefully. This paper explores the nature of scientific contributions, why science may have been seen to fail to serve the needs of policy-makers, and why scientific findings may have been misinterpreted in broader circles dealing with the issue. It concludes by identifying areas where science has still a valuable role to play in an issue that is now perhaps regarded as more political and social than scientific.  相似文献   

不整合界限地层单位确立及划分的重要意义──兼论华北地层区不整合界限地层单位的划分和命名     

武铁山 《华北地质矿产杂志》1996,(1)

在进行岩石地层划分时，有必要进行不整合界限地层单位的划分。不整合界限地层单位是顶底以不整合界面为限，而由有关联的若干个基本岩石地层单位──组（群）组成的组合。和岩石地层单位一样，是自然界存在的客观实体。初步建议华北地区划分为８个不整合界限地层单位：桑干河序列、五台山序列、滹沱河序列、秦幽序列、冀鲁序列、三晋序列、燕辽序列、河海序列。不整合界限地层单位的划分、确立，是进行地层格架分析、进行层序地层学研究的前提，有利于以岩石地层单位（即以不整合界限地层单位）编制小比例尺地质图。  相似文献   

湖泊沉积物-水界面营养元素的生物地球化学作用和环境效应　Ⅰ.界面氮循环及其环境效应   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  

吴丰昌  万国江  黄荣贵 《矿物学报》1996,(4)

发生在沉积物-水界面的剧烈生物地球化学作用对沉积物和上覆水体具重要的环境效应，然而此方面研究很少。本文通过云贵高原四个湖泊湖水和孔隙水NH和NO剖面，沉积物柱芯不同结合态氮含量剖面分布，界面扩散通量，影响氮循环的因素及它们季节性变化规律等的对比研究，初步揭示了湖泊沉积物一水界面的氮循环及其环境效应。  相似文献

The Influence of Element Diffusion at the Sediment—Water Interface on the Basic Chemical Composition of Overlying Water Mass in Lake Lugu,China     

吴丰昌  万国江等 《中国地球化学学报》1996,15(3):285-288

Little work has been done on the influence of seiments on the basic chemical composition of overlying water mass.This paper deals with the vertical profile of the basic constituents such as Ca^ ,K^ ,Na^ ,and HCO3^-,as well as of pH in the overlying water mass and sediment porewater of Lake Lugu-a semi-closed,deep lake in Yunnan Province.The reand sediment porewater of Lake Lugu- a semi-closed,deep lake in Yunnan Province.The results revealed that those basic constituents may diffuse and transport from bottom sediments to overlying water mass through porewater.In the paper are also quantitatively evaluated the diffusive fluxes and the extent of their influence on overlying water mass,indicating that the lake sediment-water interface diffusion plays an important role in controlling the basic chemical composition of water in the whole lake.  相似文献   

Soil-structure interaction analysis of the Hualien containment model     

Todor Ganev  Fumio Yamazaki  Tsuneo Katayama  Teruyuki Ueshima 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》1997,16(7-8):459-470

This paper presents results from forced vibration tests, microtremor observations and earthquake response analysis of a nuclear reactor containment model constructed on stiff soil in Hualien, Taiwan. The dynamic behavior of the soil-structure system is simulated successfully with two numerical models: a sway-rocking model, whose soil parameters are evaluated on the basis of the continuum formulation method, and a finite element model, using the program SASSI with the flexible volume substructuring approach. The dependences of the soil parameters of both models on the amplitudes of the different dynamic excitations are investigated in detail. An original numerical simulation of microtremor is performed. Comparison with results of a previous study involving a rigid tower on a soft soil site in Chiba, Japan is offered.  相似文献

地—空界面天然中子辐射场的扰动及其环境意义     

葛良全  赖万昌  林延畅  黄元清  钟丁生 《地球科学进展》2004,(Z1)

介绍了地—空界面天然中子流的来源和轻便型天然中子流测量仪器。论述了地—空界面天然中子辐射场的扰动。理论与长期观测表明,在地—空界面上天然中子流注量率随高程的增加而呈指数规律增加,而在近地表(20m内)却随距地面高度的增加而呈指数规律减少;天然中子流注量率与大气压力呈负相关关系,气压系数为(-0.060～-0.064)中子计数/30min/kPa;地—空界面天然中子流的纬度效应与高空中更显著;天然中子流注量率异常与气象的变化密切相关;地表介质的含水率增高,则地—空界面上升快中子流明显降低。通过对地一空界面天然中子流测量,可以揭示气象的瞬态变化、确定地表介质的含水率的关系,以及在地震预报与环境电离辐射评价方面具有重要的科学意义与实用价值。  相似文献
