渤海湾西岸海平面上升威胁的防治对策

因受全球海平面上升和地面沉降的双重影响,在21世纪末渤海湾西岸海平面将相对上升90～260厘米,广大地区(包括天津市区)将处于大潮平均高潮位之下,自然岸线位置将后撤至津浦线附近.我们提出筑堤防潮引黄放淤提高建筑高程三位一体的治理方案。     

Watering the garden: preferences for alternative sources in suburban areas of the Mediterranean coast

Gardening has become a relevant contributor to the quality of life of suburbanites, as a source of leisure, to build a relationship with nature or to express a particular social identity. Nevertheless, water scarcity in the Mediterranean region has increased concerns about how demand should be managed to face future uncertainties, and watering the gardens has become an element for discussion in urban planning. This contribution presents the findings of a survey of permanent residents and secondary homeowners (n?=?230) in the suburban areas surrounding the city of Girona in the northeast of Catalonia (Spain). The area is a popular national and international tourist destination and a preferred place for second-home owners. We explore the main socio-demographic drivers for choosing an alternative watering source and we analyse if water-harvesting tank sizes properly meet net irrigation requirements. Results show that many water-harvesting tanks are oversized. The percentage of unemployed or retired household members, the estimated irrigation water needs of the garden and the education level directly influence the search for alternative sources of water. Moreover, social variables like interest in gardening, water conservation attitudes and household income indirectly influence the search for alternative sources of water.     

福建沿海输电线路设计风速取值探讨

根据福建省崇武气象台1973~2006年的风速资料,分别采用极值Ⅰ型Gumbel分布、极值Ⅱ型Frechet分布、极值Ⅲ型Weibull分布对该地区的风速进行了统计分析。结果表明,该地区发生强风的概率很大,受台风的影响,年最大风速一般发生在7~10月份,且其风速值随着年代的推后有下降的趋势;经柯尔莫格洛夫拟合优度检验,极值Ⅰ型Gumbel分布是该地区的风速概率分布的最优曲线;极端风速是影响沿海输电线路安全的一个重要因素,可采用差异化的设计方法予以考虑。     

华东地区地震危险性的定量分析

本文利用概率统计方法对华东地区2001至2005年发生不同震级的地震概率进行了预测,结果表明,该地区仍处于地震活跃时段,发生5级地震的概率不断增加。     

南通市近岸海域主要海产品重金属残留监测与评价

对南通市近岸海域捕捞的多获性鱼类6种,甲壳类2种,养殖的贝类7种,藻类2种共17种海产品158份样品重金属残留进行调查分析。采用样品超标率、内梅罗综合污染指数等指标对海产品重金属残留状况进行综合评价,结果表明,南通市近岸海域海产品中人工养殖的贝类、藻类重金属污染大于捕捞的鱼类、甲壳类,重金属及As在海产品中的残留为:Cd、As污染>Pb、Hg、Cu、Cr。     

南水北调东线工程徐州段河流生境质量评价

河流生境质量评价是河流生态系统健康评价的关键之一。本文评价自然和人为作用下的河流生境质量,以南水北调东线工程徐州段丰县、邳州两市输水通道上的河流为研究对象,结合环境特点,选择了反映河道生境、河岸生境和滨岸带生境的10个指标,给出了每个指标的评价方法和5级标准特征值,建立河流生境质量评价体系,确定评价指标的等级标准,对研究区内16个河段的生境质量状况进行综合评价。结果表明:(1)河流生境质量指数(IRHQ)综合得分介于33~91。根据评价等级划分标准,其中有50%的河段生境质量达到"优"等,其余介于"良"等到"劣"等,河流生境质量整体状况良好。(2)河流生境质量指数与NH_4~+-N、COD、TN呈负相关,与DO呈正相关,多项生境指标也与水质指标具有相关性,表明生境质量与水质的相互影响。     

黄渤海沿岸经济贝类体内的石油烃的测定

在１９９０－９７－１９９１－１２期间,监测了黄渤海沿岸经济贝类体内的污染物残留量,计算了沿岸软体动物体内石油烃含量的本底值为３．４７－１９．７ｍｇ／ｋｇ,用本底值的上限作为评价标准,对沿岸贝类的石油污染状况,按污染程度做了海区划分,结果是大连湾,长江口,锦州湾的经济贝类是石油烃污染严重的区域。     

广州市东郊的降水监测及其理化特征

本文采用1982年至1987年广州市东郊的降水监测资料,初步探讨了该区酸雨污染特征。结果表明:广州市东郊酸雨污染严重,降水酸度逐年上升,雨水中阴阳离子浓度以SO₄2-和NH₄+最高。不同天气系统酸雨频率不同。      

Assessment of pollution along the Northern Iberian shelf by the combined use of chemical and biochemical markers in two representative fish species

Muscle concentrations of organochlorinated compounds as well as biliary levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and alkylphenols (APEs) were determined in two different fish species, the four-spotted megrim (Lepidorhombus boscii) and the pouting (Trisopterus luscus) collected along the Northern Iberian coast. Additionally, a set of biochemical markers namely, 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) and catalase (CAT) were measured in liver subcellular fractions. Chemical analysis indicated geographical differences in pollutant loads that were further reinforced by biomarker responses. Thus, EROD activity showed a good correlation with the amount of PCBs bioaccumulated in muscle tissue of both fish species. Elevated UGT activity was observed in those individuals highly exposed to APEs and 1-naphthol. The study reinforces the need to select representative sentinel species from different habitats for biomonitoring purposes and provides further support for the use of biomarkers in assessing the health of coastal areas.     

Potential Vulnerability Implications of Sea Level Rise for the Coastal Zones of Cochin, Southwest Coast of India

This study presents the results of the impact assessment analysis of the coastal zones of Cochin along the southwest coast of India. The climatological cycle of sea level derived for the region for the period 1939–2003 has shown a range of about 17 cm. From the results obtained on the coastal sedimentary environments, it is found that climate-induced sea level rise scenarios will bring profound effects. It is also revealed that the mean beach slope and relief play a vital role in land loss of the region. The local relief of coastal zone will decrease as sea level rises, thus increasing the percentage of land above mean sea level subjected to episodic inundations. Results of the yearly probability of damages indicated the urgency to upgrade the existing designs of coastal protection structures. A brief characterisation of the issues on infrastructure and uncertainties in policy planning also are attempted.
