Occurrence of Lawn Care and Agricultural Pesticides in the Don River and Humber River Watersheds (1998–2002)

Between 1998 and 2002, surface water samples were collected from several sites in the Don River and Humber River watersheds, both tributaries to Lake Ontario, and analyzed for a variety of pesticides, including those used for urban lawn care. Analyses included 152 pesticide active ingredients and eight metabolites. Samples were collected during base flow periods (i.e., dry events) and rainfall events (i.e., wet events). The objectives of the study were to determine which pesticides were detectable, whether there was a difference in the detection frequency between the two watersheds and between upstream and downstream in each river, and whether precipitation influenced the frequency of detection. Eleven pesticides and one metabolite were detected in surface waters of the Don and Humber rivers or their tributaries, with approximately 72% of samples containing at least one pesticide attributable to lawn care use. The pesticides and pesticide metabolite detected in this study included 2,4-D, atrazine, bromacil, carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin, diazinon, dicamba, MECOPROP, metolachlor, metribuzin, and an atrazine metabolite (des-ethyl atrazine). Four pesticides exceeded federal or provincial water quality guidelines/objectives. Diazinon exceeded the provincial water quality objective in 28% of the samples taken. For the three other pesticides (atrazine, carbofuran and chlorpyrifos) exceedance of a water quality criteria occurred in less than 1% of the samples.     

鄂尔多斯西缘前陆盆地巨厚黄土地区地震采集技术

鄂尔多斯西缘前陆盆地表层地质地貌极其复杂，有巨厚黄土区、黄土-沙漠区及山前砾石-黄土区，独特的黄土地貌使得地震采集面临着诸多技术难题。根据以往巨厚黄土地区地震采集经验，采用多种方法系统地开展黄土表层结构精细调查，深入研究黄土地球物理特征及激发因素与表层黄土结构之间的关系，优选激发井位和井深，确保了激发效果；采用小道距、三线小线距、高密度空间采样技术，获得了高信噪比、高分辨率地震资料。研究表明，巨厚黄土地区地震采集时应优选激发井位和岩性，合理选择激发井深；坚持多深井组合激发、单井药量不宜过大总药量要大两项基本原则；采用高密度采样技术，提高采集资料的覆盖次数和信噪比。图10表1参15     

Restoration of small lakes through cooperative management: A suitable strategy for poverty‐laden areas in developing countries?

Lake Rupa is a small, subtropical, shallow lake with a surface area of 100 ha situated 600 m a.s.l. in Central Himalaya, Nepal. This degraded lake was studied between 2000 and 2006, with the goal of determining whether or not it could be restored by a community‐based cooperative of local people living in its catchment. Main threats to the lake, its aquatic life and its very existence include encroachment by excessive aquatic vegetation, sedimentation, and low in‐lake concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO). Small lakes (≤ 500 ha) are relatively prone to the process of ‘succession and climax’, although they also can be of social, environmental and ecological importance. Thus, their disappearance could spark social chaos and disorder in areas already having to cope with other rapid environmental changes. This means that credible mechanisms for revitalizing or protecting small lakes are an important goal. Accordingly, a lake cooperative of 329 households living in close vicinity to Lake Rupa was formed in 2002, by prioritizing traditional fishers, women and other deprived community members with the goals of respecting the citizenry and equity. Following the cooperative's campaigns directed at weed removal and fish stocking, encroachment of vegetation on the lake margins was halted, its aquatic weeds became under control, and its fisheries improved. In addition to the cooperative's restoration activities, several water quality parameters, including water transparency and DO and chlorophyll‐a concentrations, were monitored on a monthly basis. The measured water transparency was inconsistent, exhibiting large variations between 2000 and 2003. Relatively low, but consistent, values, however, were measured after 2004. The results imply that the removal of weeds, and sufficient nutrients and solar radiation are subsequently available to the lake's phytoplankton communities. Supporting this notion is that the chlorophyll‐a concentration spiked to 205 µg L⁻¹ in November 2006, the water transparency became consistent, and the DO concentration increased to >3.8 mg L⁻¹ during the critical months (March–May) after 2004. These water quality indicators indicated improvement in the degraded Lake Rupa, suggesting that the establishment of cooperatives such as that highlighted in this study could be a powerful and sustainable mechanism for restoring degraded lakes in similar socioeconomic settings by maintaining equity, by connecting communities with their resources, and by facilitating integrity, equity, citizenry and social justice.

Effect of Channel Changes in the St. Clair River During the Present Century

Periodic man-made changes in the outlet of Lake Huron through the St. Clair River date back to the middle of the last century. These artificial channel changes have been well documented during the present century. They consist of dredging for commercial gravel removal in the upper river during 1908–25 and uncompensated navigation improvements for the 7.6-m (25-ft) and 8.2-m (27-ft) projects completed in 1933 and 1962, respectively. The total effect of these changes on the levels of Lakes Michigan and Huron (hydraulically one lake) and on the upper St. Clair River profile was determined with dynamic flow models. The ultimate effect of the above dredging was a permanent lowering of the Lake Michigan-Huron levels 0.27 m (0.89 ft), which represents a tremendous loss of freshwater resource [32 km³ (7.7 mi³)].     

准噶尔盆地白家海地区侏罗系聚煤作用与层序地层

煤层在层序划分与对比中具有十分重要的参考意义。以准噶尔盆地白家海地区侏罗系为例，通过对该地区几个聚煤时期的碎屑物质的供应程度、古地貌格局、湖平面变化（基准面变化）、气候及古植物等内在与外在因素的分析，并结合侏罗系高分辨率层序地层研究，认为该地区侏罗系煤层受多种因素控制，并主要发育于基准面稳定上升的早期，且与层序的时空演化存在着有机联系。

鄂尔多斯盆地中侏罗世直罗—安定期沉积构造特征

中侏罗世直罗—安定期伴随大华北盆地分化瓦解,直罗—安定组除在鄂尔多斯盆地呈整体分布外,在其周邻地区亦有大量零星分布的同期可对比地层。在现今盆地内,直罗组主要为河流相沉积;安定组以干旱气候条件下的河流、湖泊相沉积为主。直罗—安定组的湖相沉积主要位于盆地东南部的古沉积中心部位,其堆积中心位于盆地西部的乌海—鄂托克前旗—平凉一线,堆积中心与沉积中心偏离。直罗组沉积前古构造格局为南高北低、东高西低。直罗—安定期的古地质面貌呈西北高东南低特点,南、北分异表现甚微。结合周邻同期地层岩性、岩相和现今构造单元形成时限等综合分析,认为直罗—安定期原始盆地的边界大致为:西在贺兰山之西,东达吕梁山之东、太行山以西,北抵大青山,南至秦岭。
