The results of various methods typically used by governments to assess the environmental impact of potential pollutants do not give comparable results. It is argued that the cause is not the assessment techniques themselves but rather the paradigm of ecology from which they spring. 相似文献

Glacier inventory of the Gran Campo Nevado Ice Cap in the Southern Andes and glacier changes observed during recent decades 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

The Gran Campo Nevado (GCN) forms an isolated ice cap on the Península Muñoz Gamero (PMG) located 200 km to the south of the Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI). We present a glacier inventory of the GCN made up by 27 drainage basins (in total 199.5 km2) and other small cirque and valley glaciers of the southern part of PMG (in total 53 km2). The glacier inventory is based on a digital elevation model (DEM) and ortho-photos. Contour lines from maps, relief information derived from Landsat TM satellite imagery from 1986 and 2002 and stereoscopic data from aerial photos were combined in a knowledge-based scheme to obtain a DEM of the area. A digital ortho-photo map based on aerial photos from 1998 and several ortho-photos based on aerial photos from 1942 and 1984 could be produced from the initial DEM. A geographical information system (GIS) served to outline the extent of the present glaciation. All major glaciers of the GCN show a significant glacier retreat during the last 60 yr. Some of the outlet glaciers lost more than 20% of their total area during this period. Overall glacier retreat amounts to 2.8% of glacier length per decade and the glacier area loss is 2.4% per decade in the period from 1942 to 2002. We hypothesise that GCN glaciers may have reacted faster and more synchronously with the observed warming trend during recent decades when compared with the SPI. 相似文献

Riassunto Esposti brevemente i fondamenti teorici dello spostamento dell'asse istantaneo di rotazione terrestre nella massa della Terra, ed accennato alle prove sperimentali che hanno condotto a stabilire la realtà del fenomeno, sono analizzate le variazioni delle latitudini terrestri, che comprendono una variazionepolare ed una variazionenon polare. La variazione non polare appare dovuta principalmente ad anomalie rifrazionali, aventi sede nell'atmosfera terrestre e caratteristiche locali. La variazione polare comprende due oscillazioni essenziali: una avente origine meccanica (nutazione culeriana), modificata dall'elasticità terrestre; l'altra avente origine geofisica, e dipendente da spostamenti annuali dell'asse di massimo momento d'inerzia della Terra (asse di figura). L'analisi della variazione polare mostra perturbazioni strettamente connesse con la costituzione della Terra e con fenomeni geofisici. In tutti i suoi aspetti il problema della variazione delle latitudini terrestri implica la considerazione di fenomeni geofisici aventi sede nell'atmosfera, alla superficie e all'interno della Terra.
Summary Having briefly set forth the theoretical principles of the displacement of the istantaneous axis of rotation of the Earth in the interior of the same, and made reference to the experimental tests that have shown the reality of the phenomenon, the variations of the terrestrial latitudes, which include apolar and anon polar variation, are analyzed. The non polar variation seems to have its origin mainly in refractional anomalies, that have their place in the atmosphere and local characteristics. The polar variation includes two fundamental oscillations: one having mechanical origin (Eulerian nutation), modified by the elasticity of the Earth, and another having geophysical origin and depending on annual displacements of the axis of the maximum momentum of inertia of the Earth (axis of figure). The analysis of the polar motion shows perturbations hightly connected with the constitution of the Earth and with geophysical phenomena. In all its appearances the problem of the variation of the terrestrial latitudes implies the consideration of geophysical phenomena occurring in the atmosphere, at the surface, and in the interior of the Earth.相似文献

Waterborne pathogens represent a significant health risk in both developed and developing countries with sensitive sub-populations including children, the elderly, neonates, and immune-compromised people, who are particularly susceptible to enteric infections. Annually, approximately 1.8 billion people utilize a faecally contaminated water source, and waterborne diseases are resulting in up to 2.1 million human mortalities globally. Although groundwater has traditionally been considered less susceptible to contamination by enteric pathogens than surface water due to natural attenuation by overlying strata, the degree of microbial removal attributable to soils and aquifers can vary significantly depending on several factors. Thus, accurate assessment of the variable presence and concentration of microbial contaminants, and the relative importance of potentially causative factors affecting contaminant ingress, is critical in order to develop effective source (well) and resource (aquifer) protection strategies. “Traditional” and molecular microbiological study designs, when coupled with hydrogeological, hydrochemical, isotopic, and geophysical methods, have proven useful for analysis of numerous aspects of subsurface microbial dynamics. Accordingly, this overview paper presents the principal microbial techniques currently being employed (1) to predict and identify sources of faecal contamination in groundwater, (2) to elucidate the dynamics of contaminant migration, and (3) to refine knowledge about the hydrogeological characteristics and behaviours of aquifer systems affected by microbial contamination with an emphasis on carbonate aquifers, which represent an important global water supply. Previous investigations carried out in carbonate aquifers in southern Italy are discussed. 相似文献

Hypersaline groundwater genesis assessment through a multidisciplinary approach: the case of Pozzo del Sale Spring (southern Italy) 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

A tool, based on a multidisciplinary field investigation approach for studying the characteristics of a hypersaline spring, was developed and its effectiveness tested on a spring in southern Italy; a preliminary model of the aquifer system at medium and local scale was derived. Hydrologic measurements, vertical electric soundings, and chemical and isotopic (δ18O, δ2H, 3H) analyses were undertaken, along with microbiological analyses and species identification. These demonstrate the coexistence of hypersaline and fresh water, generating a significant diversification of the groundwater hydrochemical signature. The isotopic signature shows that both types of water have a meteoric origin. Microbial contamination of fecal origin indicates the mixing of hyper- and low- saline water related to local infiltration. The hypersaline groundwater flows in confined horizons within a sequence that is mainly of fractured clays. These horizons are probably concentrated where well-developed fracture network and dissolution openings within evaporitic rocks enhance fluid flow. In a wider context, this study determines that microbiological pollution of saline groundwater may not be detected if using nonhalophilic bacterial indicators such as fecal coliforms. Fecal enterococci are better indicators, due to their higher halotolerance. 相似文献

Sommario Sono esposti i risultati ottenuti (sulla base delle riduzioni delle osservazioni fatte nelle Stazioni Internazionali di Latitudine
situate nei due emisferi sia riguardo alle latitudini media concluse per ciascun Gruppo osservato, sia riguardo al movimento
del polo di rotazione della Terra, per il biennio 1949–1950. La presente pubblicazione costituisce il seguito e il completamento
della precedente, che figura nel ?Bulletin Géodésique?, n. 17, 1950. Nonostante l'aggiunta di un notevole materiale osservativo
(e cioè: 13 mesi di osservazioni eseguite alla Stazione di Kitab e 8 mesi di osservazioni effettuate nelle altre Stazioni
(Mizusawa, Carloforte, Gaithersburg e Ukiah, oltre due anni di osservazioni effettuatè a La Plata), i risultati precedentemente
pubblicati non subiscono che modificazioni insignificanti nei riguardi della polodia relativa al periodo gennaio 1949-aprile
1950; ed ogni conclusione tratta dalla precedente elaborazione risulta pienamente confermata.
L'ampiezza dell'oscillazione del polo di rotazione della Terra, già notevole nel 1949, appare ancora accresciuta nel 1950.

Airborne laser altimetry survey of Glaciar Tyndall, Patagonia 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

The first airborne laser altimetry measurements of a glacier in South America are presented. Data were collected in November of 2001 over Glaciar Tyndall, Torres del Paine National Park, Chilean Patagonia, onboard a Twin Otter airplane of the Chilean Air Force. A laser scanner with a rotating polygon-mirror system together with an Inertial Navigation System (INS) were fixed to the floor of the aircraft, and used in combination with two dual-frequency GPS receivers. Together, the laser–INS–GPS system had a nominal accuracy of 30 cm after data processing. On November 23rd, a total of 235 km were flown over the ablation area of Glaciar Tyndall, with 5 longitudinal tracks with a mean swath width of 300 m, which results in a point spacing of approximately 2 m both along and across track. A digital elevation model (DEM) generated using the laser altimetry data was compared with a DEM produced from a 1975 map (1:50,000 scale — Instituto Geográfico Militar (IGM), Chile). A mean thinning of − 3.1 ± 1.0 m a− 1 was calculated for the ablation area of Glaciar Tyndall, with a maximum value of − 7.7 ± 1.0 m a− 1 at the calving front at 50 m a.s.l. and minimum values of between − 1.0 and − 2.0 ± 1.0 m a− 1 at altitudes close to the equilibrium line altitude (900 m a.s.l.). The thinning rates derived from the airborne survey were similar to the results obtained by means of ground survey carried out at 600 m of altitude on Glaciar Tyndall between 1975 and 2002, yielding a mean thinning of − 3.2 m a− 1 [Raymond, C., Neumann, T.A., Rignot, E., Echelmeyer, K.A., Rivera, A., Casassa, G., 2005. Retreat of Tyndall Glacier, Patagonia, over the last half century. Journal of Glaciology 173 (51), 239–247.]. A good agreement was also found between ice elevation changes measured with laser data and previous results obtained with Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data. We conclude that airborne laser altimetry is an effective means for accurately detecting glacier elevation changes in Patagonia, where an ice thinning acceleration trend has been observed during recent years, presumably in response to warming and possibly also drier conditions. 相似文献
