Spatiotemporal Evolution of Lakes Under Rapid Urbanization: a Case Study in Wuhan, China
water Article Spatiotemporal Evolution of Lakes under Rapid Urbanization: A Case Study in Wuhan, China Chao Wen 1, Qingming Zhan 1,* , De Zhan 2, Huang Zhao 2 and Chen Yang 3 1 School of Urban Design, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China; [email protected] 2 China Construction Third Bureau Green Industry Investment Co., Ltd., Wuhan 430072, China; [email protected] (D.Z.); [email protected] (H.Z.) 3 College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-139-956-686-39 Abstract: The impact of urbanization on lakes in the urban context has aroused continuous attention from the public. However, the long-term evolution of lakes in a certain megacity and the heterogeneity of the spatial relationship between related influencing factors and lake changes are rarely discussed. The evolution of 58 lakes in Wuhan, China from 1990 to 2019 was analyzed from three aspects of lake area, lake landscape, and lakefront ecology, respectively. The Multi-Scale Geographic Weighted Regression model (MGWR) was then used to analyze the impact of related influencing factors on lake area change. The investigation found that the total area of 58 lakes decreased by 15.3%. A worsening trend was found regarding lake landscape with the five landscape indexes of lakes dropping; in contrast, lakefront ecology saw a gradual recovery with variations in the remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) in the lakefront area. The MGWR regression results showed that, on the whole, the increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), RSEI in the lakefront area, precipitation, and humidity Citation: Wen, C.; Zhan, Q.; Zhan, contributed to lake restoration. -

Investigation on Relationships between Optical Properties and Cell Concentrations of Microalgae by Zhaoming Zhou A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geophysical Engineering Montana Tech 2018 ii Abstracts Biofuel from microalgae is a very promising renewable energy resource. Growth of microalgae depends on ambient temperature, appropriate nutrients in water, and light condition for photosynthesis. As microalgae grow, the depth of light penetration decreases and the growing conditions at depth deteriorate. Monitoring of microalgae concentration during their growing phase is imperative to ensure efficiency in biomass production. Conventionally, cell concentration (number of cells per unit volume) of microalgae solution is estimated by taking images of samples under microscope and then counted and estimated using the Metallized Hemacytometer Hausser Bright-Linewe (MHHBL) method developed by Hausser Scientific. This method of measuring cell concentration of microalgal solution is time consuming and can be performed only in the laboratory. -
Considerable Model–Data Mismatch in Temperature Over China During the Mid-Holocene: Results of PMIP Simulations

Compared to the present or preindustrial climate, 35 out of the 36 PMIP models reproduced colder-than-baseline annual temperature, with an average cooling of 0.4 K, during that period. Seasonal temperature change followed closely the change in incoming solar radiation at the top of the at- mosphere over China during the mid-Holocene. Temperature was reduced (elevated) in boreal winter and spring (summer) in all of the PMIP models, with an average of 1.4 K (1.0 K) at the national scale. Colder (warmer)-than-baseline temperatures were derived from 14 of the 16 atmosphere-only (18 of the 20 coupled) models during the mid-Holocene boreal autumn. -

Analysis of Multiple Cyanobacteria in Chaohu Lake Xuan Hu
International Symposium on Social Science (ISSS 2015) Analysis of Multiple Cyanobacteria in Chaohu Lake Xuan Hu School of Electrical Engineering, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071003, China [email protected] Keywords: Chaohu Lake; algae; Cyanobacteria bloom; Eutrophication. Abstract. Cyanobacteria are the most simple and most primitive algae, which bloom in some serious eutrophicative lake. When they form a layer of blue-green bubbles which smell, they are called water blooms. The most typical lakes in China where the cyanobacterial blooms break out are Taihu Lake and Chao Lake. Of the "three rivers and three lakes" which are famous for water pollution, the Chaohu Lake area is the key area for water pollution control. This paper collects relevant data of the amount of algae and the area of water bloom in Chaohu Lake, summarizes the research on the outbreak of algae bloom in the lake, and puts forward feasible suggestions for dealing with cyanobacterial bloom in the lake. 1. Introduction Chaohu is located in the southeast of Anhui Province, is one of China's five major freshwater. The area of the lake is 752km2, the annual rainfall is 1100mm. Chaohu Lake Basin belongs to the subtropical and warm temperate transition of the subtropical monsoon climate zone, climate mild and humid, moderate rainfall, humidity, monsoon climate significantly. Chaohu Lake is known as "Yumizhixiang" reputation, rich in grain, oil, cotton, hemp, vegetables and fruit crops, depending on the lake and textile, food and other pillar industries. In twentieth Century 50 's, Chaohu water quality is fine, the mineralization degree is extremely low, the acid base is moderate, the aquatic plants flourish, the biodiversity is rich. -

Hangzhou is approximately 400 airline miles (625 kilometers) southwest of Shanghai and is the largest urban area in Zhejiang (Slide 2). The province itself is named for the Zhe River (now called the Qiantang River), which runs through the southern part of the Hangzhou urban area. The historic core is located approximately 100 miles to the southwest of Shanghai. Most of the Hangzhou urban area is flat, but there are intermittent hills. There are more significant hills to the west of the urban area, especially beyond West Lake (aerial photograph, Slide 3). 1 http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf and http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua2015.pdf.
