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

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

A vertical crustal uplift rate of 39 mm yr? 1 is measured between 2003 and 2006 using Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements at the northeastern edge of the Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI). This is the largest present-day glacial isostatic rate ever recorded. The combination of SPI's rapid melting and the unique regional slab-window tectonics that promotes a relatively low viscosity, is central to our interpretation of the observations. The two effects lead to a strong interaction of short relaxation times with ice loads that change on a comparable time scale. The profile of GPS observations link ice loss to the soft viscoelastic isostatic flow response over the time scale of the Little Ice Age (LIA), including ice loss in the period of observation. The agreement of the results with our model predictions strongly suggests the large crustal uplift in Patagonia is due an accelerated glacier wasting since the termination of the LIA and that the effective regional mantle viscosity is near 4.0–8.0 × 1018 Pa s. A century-long diminution of the icefields, at rates that are about 1/4 – 1/2 the contemporary loss rates, is consistent with multidecadal-scale temperature trends estimated for the past 50–100 years and is, in fact, a key feature in any model capable of explaining the uplift data. 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.
