Morphometric analysis using remote sensing techniques in the chaka sub-basin, purulia district, West Bengal     

SK Nag 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》1998,26(1-2):69-76

Remote sensing techniques using satellite imagery have proved to be an indispensible tool in morphometric analysis and groundwater studies. In the present area, morphometric analysis using temote sensing techniques have been carried out in Chaka river sub-basin of Manbazar Block, Purulia district, West-Bengal, which is one of the most drought affected area in West-Bengal. The parameters worked out include Bifurcation ratio (R_b), Stream length (L_u). Form factor (R_f), Circulatory ratio (R_c), and Drainage density. The morphometric analysis suggests that the area is covered by fractured, resistant, permeable rocks, the drainage network not so affected by tectonic disturbances. Using satellite imageries of LANDSAT and IRS, different hydrogeomorphological units have been delineated. The study shows that moderately weathered pediplains and valley fills are good prospective zones for groundwater exploration.  相似文献

The effects of suspended sediment on brown trout (Salmo trutta) feeding and respiration after macrophyte control

Sediment resuspension during and after mechanical excavation of macrophytes may have a significant impact on resident fish populations. Unfortunately, little is known about the influence of this sediment on the respiratory performance and feeding abilities of fishes in New Zealand waterways. We examined the effects of suspended sediment (SS) concentrations previously observed after a large-scale macrophyte removal operation on oxygen consumption (MO₂) and feeding rates of brown trout (Salmo trutta). MO₂ at 0 mg L^?1, 150 mg L^?1, 300 mg L^?1, 450 mg L^?1 and 600 mg L^?1 of SS was measured using semi-closed respirometry. Feeding rates at the same SS concentrations were also measured using laboratory tank experiments. Results suggest that SS concentrations up to 600 mg L^?1 have no effect on MO₂. Conversely, feeding rates were significantly reduced at 450 mg L^?1 (22% reduction) and 600 mg L^?1 (31% reduction), indicating that sediment concentrations above 450 mg L^?1 may negatively affect brown trout populations.  相似文献

Physical processes involved in recent activity within the moon     

S.K. Runcorn 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》1977,14(3):330-332

The three phenomena which indicate activity within the moon at present, moonquakes, emissions of Rn and Ar and the enigmatic lunar transient phenomena (LTP) possess some spatial and temporal correlation. The moonquakes and LTP occur at apogee and perigee and the gas emissions are episodic. All three have some connection with the maria regions of the moon. It is suggested that gradual settling of the mascons provides the energy released in moonquakes — the tides being a trigger. The fault systems around the circular maria allow the escape of the radioactive daughter products and probably volatiles when the cracks are opened at apogee and perigee.  相似文献   

Primeval displacements of the lunar pole     

S.K. Runcorn 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》1982,29(2):135-147

The hypothesis that the magnetic field which magnetized the lunar crust was generated by the dynamo process in a small fluid iron core can now be tested. Because the Coriolis force was a dominant term in the equations of motion in this core, the mean lunar field was aligned along the ancient axis of rotation. From Hood's modelling of the magnetic anomalies in the lunar crust, mapped by the Apollo 15 and 16 subsatellites, the palaeo-directions of this field have been determined. From them, palaeopole positions have been determined and are found to be grouped with respect to age. The palaeoequators corresponding to ages 4 Ga and 3.85 Ga show close relationships with the circular maria or mascons on the near side and multi-ring basins of corresponding age on the far side. The polar displacements indicated from lunar palaeomagnetism can be explained by the changes in the moment of inertia tensor consequent on the excavation and later flooding of these circular mare. Small moons in the primeval Earth-Moon system are inferred to be the impacting bodies.  相似文献
