IUBS is a non-governmental, non-profit organization, established in 1919, consisting of more than 30 countries and 80 academic societies all over the world. IUBS functions as an umbrella for biologists by promoting interdisciplinary cooperation and meetings on global issues such as the effect of global warming on biodiversity and ecology and also by assisting young scientist to attend related international meetings, particularly those who come from developing countries. The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake caused a tsunami and nuclear accident that heavily damaged local communities and the natural environment. The loss of biodiversity and preCious biologiCal reCords in nationally significant museums was also a matter of serious concern. DAB led by Prof. H. Nishida aimed at the establishment of international disciplines and protocols for monitoring and managing the influences of disaster on biodiversity and biologiCal resourCes at the initial stage following a disaster, and organizing an effective collaborative system to Cope with future events. This aim was well appreciated at the IUBS General Assembly in 2012, and the proposal was approved as a scientific programme from 2013 to 2015. This special issue summarizes the results of three years’ discussions with internationally distinguished scientists in workshops and a symposium that was held in Sendai, a city damaged by the 2011 earthquake. I, as the President of IUBS, really hope that this issue will give al lits readers direction on how to cope with future big disasters in terms of biodiversity and collection preservation. We should be prepared for disasters that undoubtedly will happen again somewhere in the near future. Finally, I sincerely thank Prof. Nishida for his devotion to DAB and thank all participants (citizens, professionals and NGO members) who supported and got involved in the activity of DAB. Prof. Hiroyuki Takeda Dean of School of Science, University of Tokyo President of IUBS 1 Aims, Scopes and Results Harufumi Nishida IUBS DAB Program Leader Biodiversity Network Japan and Department of Biological Sciences, Chuo University 1-13-27 Kasuga, Bunkyo 112-8551, Japan Corresponding address: [email protected] DAB background The Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on 11 March, 2011 followed by the collapse of the Fukushima Atomic Power Plant not only destroyed human life and property, but also seriously damaged biodiversity and primary industries of the area. Furthermore, many museums and biological specimens were also lost or damaged. The biodiversity and biological records are a part of the global biological resources that insure future sustainability, and should be inherited by the next generation in as good a condition as possible. Japan has paid considerable attention to biodiversity, e.g., renewing its National Biodiversity Strategy four times since 1995. However, the 3.11 disaster highlighted the lack of national academic and social systems that could continuously monitor local biodiversity and biological information to provide necessary data for urgent rescue activities of various aspects and fields. The 3.11 disaster also raised an urgent need to establish a protocol for precautionary measures in case of future disasters. Based on the experience in Japan the DAB project aims to accumulate similar cases worldwide in order to draw up standard measures and policies for various aspects of minimizing the influence of disasters. The Japanese Tsunami and Earthquake disaster and subsequent collapse of the Fukushima Atomic Power Plant in March 2011 induced a national movement to monitor the loss and recovery of biodiversity and related biological resources in local affected environments (Iwatsuki and Domoto, 2012). The disaster also damaged many museums and preserved biological specimens, including type specimens (Saito et al., 2011, Nishida, 2011). Various natural disasters and related human-invoked chain disasters, such as the one in Fukushima and even wars, not only impact biodiversity and bio-resources but also damage biological records that should be kept safely for future generations. Various reconstruction activities after a disaster may also affect local ecosystems and even ecological physiognomy. Because human life and traditional culture are subtended by and based on local biodiversity and ecosystems, special care should also be taken to maintain historical landscapes as part of biodiversity. The biological communities have never taken international action to discuss the influence of such disasters on biodiversity with regard to factors such as recovery process, sustainable reconstruction strategies and future precautionary approaches. 2 At the IUBS General Assembly in 2012 in China, the DAB program was proposed with the goal of summarizing recent disaster-related biodiversity loss, the recovery processes, influence on local biota as well as primary production (agriculture, fishing, etc.), damage to biological information and records, their salvage process, and the influence of human reconstruction activities on local biodiversity. It is also aimed to provide an international protocol for effective logistics to minimize the influence of disasters based on precautious risk management. One of the most important features of the current moment in human and earth history is that human activities have reached such a scale that could cause disasters. Huge storms, rising sea levels, and other unpredictable climate fluctuations possibly originating from human activities have caused serious biodiversity loss, which is disadvantageous to both local and global environments and economies. Recent natural disasters have occurred worldwide, though unrelated, have induced secondary

    Netherlands Journal of Geosciences / Geologie en Mijnbouw 81 (2): 177-183 (2002) Biostratigraphy and paleoecology of continental Tertiary vertebrate faunas in the Lower Rhine Embayment (NW-Germany) Th. Mors Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet/Swedish Museum of Natural History, Department of Palaeozoology, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden; e-mail: [email protected] Manuscript received: October 2000; accepted: January 2002 ^ Abstract This paper discusses the faunal content, the mammal biostratigraphy, and the environmental ecology of three important con­ tinental Tertiary vertebrate faunas from the Lower Rhine Embayment. The sites investigated are Rott (MP 30, Late Oligocene), Hambach 6C (MN 5, Middle Miocene), Frechen and Hambach 11 (both MN 16, Late Pliocene). Comparative analysis of the entire faunas shows the assemblages to exhibit many conformities in their general composition, presumably re­ sulting from their preference for wet lowlands. It appears that very similar environmental conditions for vertebrates reoc- curred during at least 20 Ma although the sites are located in a tectonically active region with high subsidence rates. Differ­ ences in the faunal composition are partly due to local differences in the depositional environment of the sites: lake deposits at the margin of the embayment (Rott), coal swamp and estuarine conditions in the centre of the embayment (Hambach 6C), and flood plain environments with small rivulets (Frechen and Hambach 1 l).The composition of the faunal assemblages (di­ versity and taxonomy) also documents faunal turnovers with extinctions and immigrations (Oligocene/Miocene and post- Middle Miocene), as a result of changing climate conditions. Additional vertebrate faunal data were retrieved from two new assemblages collected from younger strata at the Hambach mine (Hambach 11C and 14).

  • Intraplate Earthquakes in North China

    Intraplate Earthquakes in North China

    5 Intraplate earthquakes in North China mian liu, hui wang, jiyang ye, and cheng jia Abstract North China, or geologically the North China Block (NCB), is one of the most active intracontinental seismic regions in the world. More than 100 large (M > 6) earthquakes have occurred here since 23 BC, including the 1556 Huax- ian earthquake (M 8.3), the deadliest one in human history with a death toll of 830,000, and the 1976 Tangshan earthquake (M 7.8) which killed 250,000 people. The cause of active crustal deformation and earthquakes in North China remains uncertain. The NCB is part of the Archean Sino-Korean craton; ther- mal rejuvenation of the craton during the Mesozoic and early Cenozoic caused widespread extension and volcanism in the eastern part of the NCB. Today, this region is characterized by a thin lithosphere, low seismic velocity in the upper mantle, and a low and flat topography. The western part of the NCB consists of the Ordos Plateau, a relic of the craton with a thick lithosphere and little inter- nal deformation and seismicity, and the surrounding rift zones of concentrated earthquakes. The spatial pattern of the present-day crustal strain rates based on GPS data is comparable to that of the total seismic moment release over the past 2,000 years, but the comparison breaks down when using shorter time windows for seismic moment release. The Chinese catalog shows long-distance roaming of large earthquakes between widespread fault systems, such that no M ࣙ 7.0 events ruptured twice on the same fault segment during the past 2,000 years.

    SMIP13 Seminar Proceedings OBSERVATIONS FROM THE APRIL 20, 2013 LUSHAN COUNTY, YA’AN CITY, SICHUAN PROVINCE, CHINA EARTHQUAKE Marshall Lew AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. Los Angeles, California Abstract The April 20, 2013 Lushan earthquake followed the 2008 Great Wenchuan earthquake by almost five years. Although the rupture also started in the Longmenshan fault zone, the Lushan earthquake is not an aftershock. Although similar damage and disruptions to infrastructure and society occurred, it was of a smaller scale and not unexpected due to the short time for the lessons from Wenchuan to be applied. There were some examples of lessons learned and the strong motion dataset obtained in this event will prove valuable in assessing how effective the actions taken have been. The visual observations were made on May 27 and 28, 2013 in Lushan. Introduction On April 20, 2013, at 8:02 am (Beijing Time), an earthquake occurred in Lushan County of Ya’an City in Sichuan Province in southwestern China. The epicenter was located at 30o 17’ 02” N and 102o 57’ 22” E, about 120 km from the major city of Chengdu; see Figure 1. Ya’an City is a prefecture level city in the western part of Sichuan Province and has a population of about 1.5 million people and is the location of one of China’s main centers for the protection of the endangered giant panda. Sichuan Province is known as the “Province of Abundance.” The province is a leading agricultural region of China and the province is also very rich in mineral resources, including large natural gas reserves.

There were 35 lottiid, one acmaeid, five nacellid and two patellid species from the western and northern Pacific; and 34 patellid, six nacellid and three lottiid species from the Atlantic, southern Africa, Antarctica and Australia. Emarginula foveolata fujitai (Fissurellidae) was used as the outgroup. In the resulting phylogenetic trees, the species fall into two major clades with high bootstrap support, designated here as (A) a clade of southern Tethyan origin consisting of superfamily Patelloidea and (B) a clade of tropical Tethyan origin consisting of the Acmaeoidea. Clades A and B were further divided into three and six subclades, respectively, which correspond with geographical distributions of species in the following genus or genera: (AÍ) north­ eastern Atlantic (Patella ); (A2) southern Africa and Australasia ( Scutellastra , Cymbula-and Helcion)', (A3) Antarctic, western Pacific, Australasia ( Nacella and Cellana); (BÍ) western to northwestern Pacific (.Patelloida); (B2) northern Pacific and northeastern Atlantic ( Lottia); (B3) northern Pacific (Lottia and Yayoiacmea); (B4) northwestern Pacific ( Nipponacmea); (B5) northern Pacific (Acmaea-’ânà Niveotectura) and (B6) northeastern Atlantic ( Tectura). Approximate divergence times were estimated using geo­ logical events and the fossil record to determine a reference date.
