中国东部海域发生海啸的可能性分析

由强地震引发的印度洋大海啸在短短几个小时内就演变成了一场巨大的人间惨剧。这样的2004年12月26日自然灾害,人类能不能预防?它的形成机制是什么?我国历史上发生过海啸吗?在未来我国哪些地区会发生海啸?就上述问题,作了可能性分析。印度洋海啸的发生可以说既是天灾,也是人祸。人类虽说还不能控制地震、海啸等天灾的发生,但可以通过预报等措施来减轻它们造成的损失。我国历史时期曾发生过多次海啸,台湾周围海域是海啸的高发区域,其次是大陆架区域,渤海是低发区域。在未来,东海、南海,特别是台湾岛附近海域具备产生海啸的条件,即海南、台湾存在成灾条件;其次是上海,广州,也存在潜在的海啸危险;沿海其它城市亦应居安思危。     

严寒地区某斜拉桥冬季混凝土箱梁温度梯度试验研究

为了揭示严寒地区冬季温度梯度对混凝土箱梁的影响,笔者对绥芬河斜拉桥箱梁的初期运营阶段进行了全天候的温度测试。从理论和试验两个方面,验证并揭示温度是如何传递并影响箱形梁的,进而明确热传导、热对流、热辐射分别对箱梁的影响程度。为严寒地区混凝土斜拉桥设计时温度荷载的确定提供参考,也为以后箱梁温度梯度监测时间的确定建立科学依据。试验发现负温度梯度明显存在、实测温度梯度较小,满足中美两国规范的要求、冬季的温度梯度值远远小于夏季。建议今后对严寒地区斜拉桥的设计,主要应考虑辐射热大的夏天温度应力对箱梁混凝土的影响。     

华北高产粮区夏玉米生命周期环境影响评价

以山东省桓台县夏玉米生产体系为例,应用生命周期评价方法,以单位产量为评价功能单元,把夏玉米生命周期分为原料开采与运输、农资生产与运输、作物种植3个生产阶段,对不同施氮水平下夏玉米生命周期的资源消耗与污染物排放进行了清单分析和影响评价.结果表明,随着施氮量的增加,夏玉米生命周期环境影响呈指数上升趋势,其中,主要影响类型为水资源耗竭,这与农作物需水量较大、水分生产率较低有关.在低氮量条件下,主要污染影响类型是全球变暖,随着施氮量的增加,富营养化上升为主要污染影响类型.提高作物种植阶段水肥利用效率是控制夏玉米生命周期环境影响的关键,它可减少夏玉米对水资源和氮肥的需求,从而直接减少农田氮素损失污染影响,也间接降低了上游生产环节的资源消耗与污染物排放影响,进而有助于降低夏玉米生命周期环境影响总潜力.     

印度洋中南部长鳍金枪鱼繁殖栖息的适应性

根据2009年3～4月在印度洋中南部水域作业的中国金枪鱼延绳钓渔船上收集数据,基于反映鱼类繁殖能力的重要指标—性腺指数(GSI)及其影响因素—表温(SST)、100 m水层的水温(TEMP)及200 m水层的溶解氧浓度(DO),对长鳍金枪鱼繁殖栖息地适应性进行分析。结果表明,表温、表层盐度、100 m水层的水温及200 m水层的DO与印度洋中南部长鳍金枪鱼GSI的最佳上界分位数回归方程分别为pGSISST0.55=159.47-12.20SST0.55+0.24SST20.55,pGSISSS0.70=527.22-28.51 SSS0.70+0.39SSS20.70,pGSITEMP0.55=2.25-0.23TEMP0.55-0.01TEMP20.55和pGSIDO0.70=53.71-17.66DO0.70+1.49DO20.70。调查区域长鳍金枪鱼繁殖栖息地指数分布在0.52～0.97之间。自北向南,繁殖栖息地指数有逐渐增加的趋势,25°S以南水域,繁殖栖息地指数基本上维持在0.65以下。本研究为阐明印度洋长鳍金枪鱼的繁殖空间分布提供了一条新的思路。

Dissolved nutrient dynamics along the southwest coastal waters of India during northeast monsoon: a case study

Dissolved nutrients, Chl-a and primary productivity were measured from seven transects along the coastal waters of the southeastern Arabian Sea during northeast monsoon. Ten major estuaries were chosen to study the influence of estuarine discharge on the nutrient dynamics in the coastal waters. The mean water discharge of the estuaries in the north (64.8?±?18?×?10⁵?m³?d^?1) was found to be higher than those in the south (30.6?±?21.4?×?10⁵?m³?d^?1), whereas the nutrient concentrations were found to be higher in the estuaries of the south. The results from the offshore waters were discussed in accordance with the depth contour classification, that is, shelf (depth?≤?30?m) and slope waters (depth?≥?30?m). Our results suggest that the estuarine discharge plays a major role in the nutrient distribution in near shore shelf waters, whereas in shelf and slope waters, it was mainly controlled by in situ biological processes. The inorganic form of N to P ratios were found to be higher than Redfield ratio in slope waters when compared with shelf waters, suggesting that PO₄^3? (<0.15?µmol?L^?1) is a limiting nutrient for primary production. The multivariate statistical analysis revealed that the nutrient dynamics in the coastal waters was controlled by both biological and physical processes.     

冶炼厂周边区域夏季大气Cu和Cd沉降特征

为了解贵溪冶炼厂周边农田区域夏季大气重金属沉降状况,于2012年6—8月及2013年6—8月(夏季),设置8个监测点,共收集大气干湿混合样品48个,采用原子吸收分光光度法分析了Cu、Cd。结果发现,冶炼厂周边区域2012年夏季Cu、Cd沉降通量分别为42.5~421、1.01~5.06 mg/m2,平均值149、2.02 mg/m2;2013年夏季Cu、Cd沉降通量分别为40.6~94.3、0.12~0.44 mg/m2,平均值59.4、0.26 mg/m2。同1月份不同监测点Cu、Cd沉降量存在一定差异性,风向为造成该差异性的主要气象因素;不同监测点Cu、Cd月沉降通量与风向频率均具有显著相关性(r均大于0.60)。降雨量影响Cu、Cd月沉降量,Cu、Cd平均月沉降量与降雨量均呈显著相关关系(r=0.91、r=0.87,P0.05)。

The Indian perspective of utilizing fly ash in phytoremediation, phytomanagement and biomass production

Coal-based power generation is a principal source of electricity in India and many other countries. About 15–30% of the total amount of residue generated during coal combustion is fly ash (FA). FA is generally alkaline in nature and contains many toxic metals like Cr, Pb, Hg, As and Cd along with many essential elements like S, B, Ca, Na, Fe, Zn, Mn and P. Dumped FA contaminates the biosphere by mobilization of its fine particles and hazardous metals. Despite the negative environmental impact of FA, coal continues to be a major source of power production in India and therefore FA disposal is a major environmental issue. To overcome this problem, FA dumping sites have been started as a potential resource for biomass production of tree species. Phytoremediation is a strategy that uses plants to degrade, stabilize, and remove contaminants from soils, water and waste FA. Phytomanagement of FA is based on the plants' root systems, high biomass, woody nature, native nature, and resistance to pH, salinity, and toxic metals. Recently Indian researchers mostly from the National Botanical Research Institute have been working on phytoremediation and revegetation of FA dykes, inoculation of bacterial strains for reducing FA stress and biomass production from FA dykes. Many international researchers have worked on reclamation, revegetation and utilization of FA. FA utilization saves resources, mainly land (topsoil), water, coal, limestone and chemical fertilizer. Safe utilization of FA is a major concern around the world and regulatory bodies are enforcing stringent rules for the proper management of FA. This article summarizes various viable avenues in India for FA utilization and environmental management.
