  • Dengfeng Observatory, China
    90 ICOMOS–IAU Thematic Study on Astronomical Heritage Archaeological/historical/heritage research: The Taosi site was first discovered in the 1950s. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, archaeologists excavated nine chiefly tombs with rich grave goods, together with large numbers of common burials and dwelling foundations. Archaeologists first discovered the walled towns of the Early and Middle Periods in 1999. The remains of the observatory were first discovered in 2003 and totally uncovered in 2004. Archaeoastronomical surveys were undertaken in 2005. This work has been published in a variety of Chinese journals. Chinese archaeoastronomers and archaeologists are currently conducting further collaborative research at Taosi Observatory, sponsored jointly by the Committee of Natural Science of China and the Academy of Science of China. The project, which is due to finish in 2011, has purchased the right to occupy the main field of the observatory site for two years. Main threats or potential threats to the sites: The most critical potential threat to the observatory site itself is from the burials of native villagers, which are placed randomly. The skyline formed by Taer Hill, which is a crucial part of the visual landscape since it contains the sunrise points, is potentially threatened by mining, which could cause the collapse of parts of the top of the hill. The government of Xiangfen County is currently trying to shut down some of the mines, but it is unclear whether a ban on mining could be policed effectively in the longer term. Management, interpretation and outreach: The county government is trying to purchase the land from the local farmers in order to carry out a conservation project as soon as possible.

Based on the analysis of coalfield geological characteristics, forming conditions and distribution law in such coal aggregation areas as Jiaozuo, Pingdingshan and Yima in West Henan, this paper studies macroscopic lithotypes of coal, microcal rock components and features of thermal evolution focusing on air content and influential factors, especially features of thermal evolution and influence of fault development on coal bed methane content. Main physical and chemical properties for coal bed methane, including gas saturation, desorption rate, crustal stress and critical pressure received special attention, including a contrast with main coal bed methane aggregation area in North China. After calculation, coal bed methane content in main blocks exceeds 12000×108m3, and thus Pingdingshan and Jiaozuo are ideal mining areas for coal bed
