We designed a method for predicting/.S factors of a mining subsidence basin, using ana- lytical GIS spatial technology. Using the Huainan mining area as an example, we calculated the modulus of erosion, its volume and classified the grade of soil erosion for both the original area and the subsidence basin. The results show that the maximum modulus of erosion and the volume of erosion of the subsi- dence basin without water logging would increase by 78% and 23% respectively compared with the ori- ginal situation. The edge of the subsidence basin, where the land subsidence was uneven, is subject to the greatest acceleration in soil erosion. In the situation of water logging after subsidence, the maximum modulus of erosion would decrease if the accumulated slope length were reduced. This maximum mod- ulus around the water logged area within the subsidence basin is equal to that without water logging, while the total volume of erosion decreases. Therefore, mining subsidence aggravates soil erosion espe- cially at the edge of basins where water and soil conservation measures should be taken.展开更多

However instead of directly mining the classification rules, class association rules, which are then used to construct a classifier, are mined from audit logs. Some attributes in audit logs are important for detecting intrusion but their values are distributed skewedly. A relative support concept is proposed to deal with such situation. To mine class association rules effectively, an algorithms based on FP-tree is exploited. Experiment result proves that this method has better performance.展开更多

Although both sea level rise and coastal erosion can cause land loss in the tropic Pacific oceanic islands, their mechanisms are different. When sea level rises, the low elevation coastal zone submerges and the erosion datum plane rises, the beach process progresses normally as always, resulting in no beach sediment coarsening. When the sea level is stable, coastal erosion removes finer sediment from reef flat, beach and land, resulting in beach sediment coarsening. The human-induced coastal erosion in the tropic Pacific oceanic islands has the following features. 1) Erosion occurs or intensifies immediately after inappropriate human activities. 2) It occurs near the places having human activities and places related to the above places in sediment supply. 3) It often occurs on original prograding or stable coasts (on lagoon coasts for atolls) because there are more coastal engineering projects and other human activities on such coasts. 4) It is chronic, covering a long period of time. The coastal geological events in Tuvalu islands do not accord with the features resulted from sea level rise but do accord with the features resulted from coastal erosion, particularly from human-induced erosion. The land loss in Tuvalu is mainly caused by inappropriate human activities including coastal engineering and aggregate mining, and partly caused by cyclones. Moreover, all recent measurements (satellite altimetry,thermosteric sea level data and tide observations) so far have not been able to verify any sea level rise around Tuvalu islands.展开更多

These effects can extend for kilometers affecting hydraulic structures located in the vicinity of the river reach. In this paper, the geomorphic effects of gravel mining are reviewed and summarized. Some cases in Venezuelan streams are presented to illustrate the problem. To describe the processes of erosion and sedimentation in a gravel extraction pit, a recent developed mathematical model for the simulation of flow and sediment transport in gravel-cobble bed streams is applied to a hypothetical case of gravel mining in a river channel. A simple rectangular dredge pit is imposed as initial condition in the channel bed, and changes in bed elevations and grain size distribution of bed material are calculated by using the numerical model. The process of deposition within the pit, and the downstream and upstream migration of the erosion wave are well simulated by the model and closely resemble the phenomena observed in laboratory experiments. The response of the friction coefficient to the changes in flow and bed elevations shows the importance in modeling adequately flow resistance and sediment transport in gravel-cobble bed streams.展开更多

For centuries, the stream served as a waterway, as a gravel quarry, and for fishing. Besides being an important resource, the Cervo stream was also a constant threat to the integrity of the urban centre of VerceUi: Erosion was very high along the right bank and continuously damaged the city walls, as well as the eastern settlements between the city and the stream ("Borghetto"). In the 16th-17th century, according to records of the Vercelli municipality, there is often reference to the "damage" to the city walls or to the city itself caused by stream flooding and erosion. There is also reference to the numerous attempts made to shift the course of the stream eastward, away from the city.展开更多

Erosion, pollution, salinization and acidification degrade soils irreversibly. Evidently, the rate of soil degradation greatly exceeds the rate of soil formation. In some countries, soil lost is almost 100 times faster than the rate of its formation. Therefore, soil needs to be considered as a nonrenewable resource. Incessant construction activities along with unsustainable mining operations and energy-related undertakings in recent years have accelerated the degradation of soil in Turkey. Highway travellers can witness the mindless plunder all over the land. As one travels smoothly on newly constructed highways, looming along the roads are piles of leftover destruction: heaps of broken asphalt from previous roads; newly excavated topsoil dumped into adjacent streams; eroded hillsides. In the age of global climate change, these so-called development efforts sound incomprehensible since such anthropogenic activities exacerbate the change. Clearly, climate change increases the erosion rates and reduces the soil quality. This fact alone requires each country to adopt and implement sound conservation practices to protect their soils, and hence, social stability and security. The most effective way to conserve soil is to establish and maintain ground cover vegetation. Avoiding unnecessary soil sealing also conserves soil.展开更多
