Arctic climate change and oil spill risk analysisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 350-362 - 2011
William B. Samuels, David E. Amstutz, Heather A. Crowley
The purpose of this project was to: 1) describe the effects of climate change in
the Arctic and its impact on circulation, 2) describe hindcast data used in the
Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) Oil Spill Risk
Analysis (OSRA) model, 3) evaluate alternatives such as using forecast results
in the OSRA model, and 4) recommend future studies. Effects of climate change on

Integrated, watershed-based management for sustainable water resourcesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 117-125 - 2010
Rebecca L. Schneider
Water scarcity is a becoming a critical issue globally, driven largely by the
demands of an exponentially growing human population and complicated by the
impacts of climate change on the amounts and distribution of precipitation. It
is also due to mismanagement as scarce water resources are being used
simultaneously for irrigation, power generation, public and industrial water
supply, flood reduct... hiện toàn bộ
A laboratorial study on influence of alkaline and oxidative environment on preservation of Pinus tabulaeformis pollenSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 226-230 - 2008
Fang Tian, Xianyong Cao, Qinghai Xu, Yuecong Li
Different sedimentary settings can influence preservation of pollens, which
would lead to misinterpretation of fossil pollen spectrum. This study
investigates the influence on the preservation of Pinus tabulaeformis pollen by
simulating alkaline and oxidative environment in the laboratory. There was no
obvious change in the content of Pinus tabulaeformis pollen while comparing the
original with th... hiện toàn bộ
A sedimentological approach to P-A relationships for tidal inlet systems: an example from Yuehu Inlet, Shandong Peninsula, ChinaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 262-268 - 2008
Jia, Jianjun, Gao, Shu
Power-law relationship between tidal prism (P) and the cross-sectional area of
the entrance channel (A) is applicable to assess the equilibrium conditions of a
tidal inlet system. The classic method of determining P-A relationships proposed
by O’Brien depends on datasets from multi-tidal inlet systems, which has shown
some limitations and is unable to assess equilibrium of a single tidal inlet.

Deep-seated gas generation and preservation condition in ChinaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 351-357 - 2007
Wenhui Liu, Dianwei Zhang
Deep-seated gas is defined in this paper as natural gas generated under the
combined action of high temperature, high pressure, and environment media. As to
organic matter vertical evolution, deep-seated gas is natural gas, which is
generated and deposited under the position of an oil generation window.
Deep-seated gas exploration is an important potential field for oil-gas
exploration. Also, it i... hiện toàn bộ
Community-level enhancements of biodiversity and ecosystem servicesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 14-21 - 2010
Stephen J. Morreale, Kristi L. Sullivan
A common management technique for preserving and maintaining biodiversity is the
establishment of large refuges and preserves. Although extensive sanctuaries can
provide crucial protection for many organisms and ecosystems, they cannot
fulfill all the needs of regional conservation. An alternative to a few large
refuges is to create many different habitats across the landscape that enhance
and imp... hiện toàn bộ
Subtropical montane evergreen broad-leaved forests of Yunnan, China: diversity, succession dynamics, human influenceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 22-32 - 2009
Cindy Q. Tang
This paper integrates studies on the natural subtropical montane evergreen
broad-leaved forests (EBLFs) and secondary succession of the forests and
plantations in Yunnan, to provide a basis for evaluating the sustainability of
the forests in the mountain ecosystems of Yunnan, China. The EBLFs include
mid-montane moist, monsoon, and semi-humid categories. The monsoon EBLF yielded
the highest indice... hiện toàn bộ
Environmental geochemistry of high arsenic groundwater at western Hetao plain, Inner MongoliaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 63-72 - 2008
Jun He, Teng Ma, Yamin Deng, Hui Yang, Yanxin Wang
Environmental geochemistry of high arsenic groundwater at Hetao plain was
studied on the basis of geochemical survey of the groundwater and a core
sediment. Arsenic concentration in groundwater samples varies from 76 to 1093
μg/L. The high arsenic groundwater mostly appears to be weakly alkaline. The
concentrations of NO 3 − and SO 4 2− are relatively low, while the
concentrations of DOC, NH 4 + ,... hiện toàn bộ
