    Updated Geographical Distribution of Species of the Genus Nemorhaedus Hamilton Smith, 1827

    6–71RYHPEHU 2019, Brno, Czech Republic Updated geographical distribution of species of the genus Nemorhaedus Hamilton Smith, 1827 Petr Hrabina Department of Zoology, Fisheries, Hydrobiology and Apiculture Mendel University in Brno Zemedelska 1, 613 00 Brno CZECH REPUBLIC [email protected] Abstract: The paper listed distribution data of all species of the genus Nemorhaedus, combining 257 field observations supplemented by information from the labels on the museum specimens. The localities data are defined by GPS coordinates and altitude. The species determination was carried out on the basis of the pelage colour characters, which allows work directly in the field. Key Words: Nemorhaedus, zoogeography, distribution, conservation INTRODUCTION The native distribution of gorals ranges from Himalayan foothills of northern Pakistan and India, further east across Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar, northwestern Thailand, central and eastern China, the Korean Peninsula to coastal region of Russian Far East (Grubb 2005, Hrabina 2015). The delimitation of distribution range of individual goral species shows considerable variation depending on the taxonomic concept used by different authors (see e.g. Lydekker 1913, Adlerberg 1932, Groves and Grubb 2011, Hrabina 2015). This has led to inconsistencies both in the nomenclature and in the understanding of individual species' ranges. The knowledgeability of goral distribution differs from country to country. Extensive research has been devoted to goral populations in Pakistan, western India, Thailand, South Korea and Russia (Cavallini 1992, Chen et al. 1999, Lee and Rhim 2002, Voloshina and Myslenkov 2010, Abbas et al. 2012), whereas for Nepal, eastern India, Bhutan, Myanmar, south-east China and North Korea we have no data available.

    10th Asian Regional Conference of IAEG (2015) Structure and Stability of Zhangmu Deposit in Tibet HU Ruilin, ZHANG Xiaoyan, GAO Wei, MA Fengshan, ZHANG Luqing, ZHOU Jian Key Laboratory of Shale Gas and Geoengineering, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, People's Republic of China E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Zhangmu Port is situated at southwest of Tibet, and is the only trading port between China and Nepal. However, this important area has been faced the threat of geological disasters like landslides occurred in Zhangmu deposit over a long time. Evaluation of the structure and stability of the Zhangmu Deposit was undertaken to elucidate the causes of the deposit and its engineering geological characteristics based on field survey, and the stability of the deposit is analyzed mainly based terrain, the surface deformation features and material components of the deposit. Results show that, structure of Zhangmu deposit is not a simple single soil structure, but includes colluvial, residual and glaciofluvial deposits amongst others, and the slope is less likely to slide as a whole, but will mainly slip partially controlled by local hazard factors such as slope gradient, lithology, human engineering activities, and concave lateral erosion action. Key words: Zhangmu Port, Zhangmu Deposit, landslide, structure, stability. 1. Introduction The importance of Zhangmu Deposit cannot be The instability of the slopes and occurrence of over emphasized as the Zhangmu Port which is the landslides has become a major problem which only overland trading port between China and Nepal impacts the survival and development of the port.

Highlights: Mount Kailash (the Holy mountain) is claimed to be the apex of the Hindu religion. It is also one of the highest mountains in Tibet at 6.700 meters. And Lake Mansarovar lies at 4,556 m above mean sea level, making it the highest fresh-water lake in the world. Certainly, a difficult region to reach due to the variable and extreme weather conditions. The mountain is located in a particularly remote and inhospitable area of the Tibetan Himalayas. A few modern amenities, such as benches, resting places, and refreshment kiosks, exist to aid the pilgrims in their devotions. Every year, thousands make a pilgrimage to Kailash, following a tradition going back thousands of years. Pilgrims of several religions believe that circumambulating Mount Kailash on foot is a holy ritual that will bring good fortune. The peregrination is made in a clockwise direction by Hindus and Buddhists. The path around Mount Kailash is 52 km (32 mi) long. The distance from Lhasa is approximately 2000 Km. Only during the last few years have lots of ordinary and not so ordinary travelers, being able to experience this region. Road conditions are difficult much of the time and we have to make much preparation to ensure that we have a reasonable chance of reaching Kailash. We need to bring our own food and camping equipment. As per Chinese regulations, transportation ( 4WD Jeep) and a Chinese/Tibetan guide is a must to hire from China/Tibet whereas we will send Nepalese staff for camping and cooking arrangement.

    Stability Analysis of the Zhangmu Multi-Layer Landslide Using the Vector Sum Method in Tibet, China

    Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment https://doi.org/10.1007/s10064-018-1386-3 ORIGINAL PAPER Stability analysis of the Zhangmu multi-layer landslide using the vector sum method in Tibet, China Mingwei Guo1 & Sujin Liu1,2 & Shunde Yin3 & Shuilin Wang1 Received: 28 February 2018 /Accepted: 10 September 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The Zhangmu landslide is located on the China–Nepal border in Tibet, China, which has recently become a serious threat to the lives and properties of local people. In order to efficiently quantify the stability of the Zhangmu landslide, a new method named the vector sum method (VSM) is proposed. Differing from conventional slope-stability analysis methods, the VSM considers both the magnitude, the direction of force and the strength-reserving definition of the safety factor based on the actual stress field of slope achieved from finite element analysis. Moreover, the global sliding direction of potential landslides was theoretically deduced by the principle of minimum potential energy, while the safety factor can be directly computed by not only the force limit equilibrium of the whole sliding body in the global sliding direction but also the moment limit equilibrium at the moment center. Finally, stability analysis of the Zhangmu landslide was performed by the proposed method, and verified against the rigorous Morgenstern–Price method. Keywords Vector sum method . Slope stability . Limit equilibrium method . Strength reduction method . Zhangmu landslide Introduction most residential buildings and public facilities at Zhangmu Port have been built on an ancient rock slide, which is Zhangmu is the only overland and international trading port surrounded by the Boqu River, the Bangcundong Valley, the on the China–Nepal border in southern Tibet, China, located Qiangma Valley and the Zhangmu Valley.

The intensity was VIII in the 20 region and reached IX at two towns on the Nepal border; resulting in the destruction of 21 2,700 buildings, seriously damaging over 40,000 others, while killing 27 people and 22 injuring 856 in this sparsely populated region. The main geologic effects in this steep 23 rugged region are collapses, landslides, rockfalls, and ground fissures; many of which 24 are reactivations of older land slips. These did great damage to the buildings, roads and 25 bridges in the region. Most of the effects are along four incised valleys which are 26 controlled by N-trending rifts and contain rivers that pass through the Himalaya 27 Mountains and flow into Nepal; at least two of the larger aftershocks occurred along the 28 normal faults.
