This research attempts to collect and interpret the soil salinization in the upper stream of the Tarim River on the basis of the multisource and multi-type remote sensing images and basis background data in the springs of 1999, 2002 and 2004 respectively, applying the information technologies of remote sensing (RS), global positioning system (GPS), geographic information system (GIS), and massi...

or as the ends of a boiv are drawn together." They have a legend that it visits the country every thirty years. The epidemic arrived in Bhamo in June last, having travelled up the Irrawaddy Yalley starting in Rangoon in May and visiting Mandalay during the early part of June. It is interesting to note this following of the important trade route. It is not unlikely that the epidemic originated f...

According to the characteristics of groundwater in arid area, this paper proposes DRAV model for groundwater vulnerability assessment, where D is groundwater depth, R is the net recharge of aquifer, A is the aquifer characteristics, and V is the lithology of vadose zone. As a case study, the paper assesses the vulnerability of pore phreatic water in Tarim Basin of Xinjiang, China by using the D...

The Tibetan Plateau uplift and Cenozoic global cooling are thought to induce enhanced aridification in the Asian interior. Although the onset of Asian desertification is proposed to have started in the earliest Miocene, prevailing desert environment in the Tarim Basin, currently providing much of the Asian eolian dust sources, is only a geologically recent phenomenon. Here we report episodic oc...

Lop Sea, located at the east end of Tarim Basin, Northwest China, dried up permanently, which is terminal lake River. Sea was considered as basin Nor since Quaternary. However, possibility that away from in historical time crucial to be discussed interpret proxy records sediment profiles. To obtain a general view evolution and period, several approaches were adopted this paper. First, Qianlong ...
