In this study we use a Nd isotope combination of bulk sediment geochemistry, Nd and Sr isotope geochemistry, and single grain zircon U-Pb Erosion dating to understand the source of sediment in the modern drainage. We also performed zircon U-Pb dating on Provenance Eocene sedimentary rocks sampled by International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 349 in order to Pearl River constrain the source of sediment to the rift before the Oligocene.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 85 4th International Conference on Management Science, Education Technology, Arts, Social Science and Economics (MSETASSE 2016) Discussions on Development of Cultural Tourism Industry in Region at the Source of the Pearl River Jingfeng Wang School of economics and management, Qujing Normal University, Qujing Yunnan, 655011, China Key words: Source of the Pearl River, Cultural tourism, Development. Abstract. The Pearl River is one of the three large inland rivers of China. The region at the source of the Pearl River is rich in natural landscape resources and human landscapes, has a profound historical and cultural foundation, and is distinctively featured by minority folk-custom, all of which are advantageous conditions for the development of cultural tourism industry. Yet the development situation of cultural tourism industry at the source of the Pearl River is still less than satisfactory. Only by transformation and upgrading of scenic region at the source of the Pearl River, and development of minority folk-custom-themed the Three Kingdoms History-themed cultural tourism, and cultural heritage tourism products, the cultural tourism industry at the source of the Pearl River can have more development opportunities. Overview of the Pearl River and of Its Source The Pearl River is one of the three inland rivers of China. By streamflow, the Pearl River is the second largest inland river in China, second only to the Yangtze River; by length, the Pearl River is the third largest inland river in China, following the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The main stream of the Pearl River is 2320km long in total, the basin area is 446,768km2 [1], its river basin stretches over Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and it flows into the South China Sea from the 8th estuary in the Pearl River Delta.

  • Paper for River Symposium
    http://www.paper.edu.cn Equitable Utilisation and Effective Protection of Sharing Transboundary Water Resources in international Rivers of Western China He, Daming (Asian International River Centre, Yunnan University, Kunming, 650091; E-mail:[email protected]) Liu, Xiujuan (Australian Mekong Resource Center, Sydney University, Sydney, Australia) Abstract: Western China includes 12 provincial divisions (the 7 provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Shangxi, Gansu, Qinghai and; 5 autonomous regions of Tibet, Ningxia, Xinjiang , Inner Mongolia and Guangxi; and one city of Chongqing), which comprise 71.4% of the national land area, 28.5% of the national population and produce 17.5% of the national GDP in China. There are 17 countries that have riparian relationships with wester n China, most of which are water -short countries. All are listed by UN ESCAP as countries with potential water crisis. The co-operative development and coordinated management of international rivers in western China is an important step toward the implementation of the national Great Western Development program. Taking into account of the national strategy and object hierarchy, as well as the development demand of the western region, it is necessary to pursue the multi-disciplinary study of the equitable allocation, utilisation, and eco-environment protection of transboundary water resource in the region. Such efforts will undoubtedly provide scientific evidence and support for the decision-making of the environmental protection and ecological construction and management in the western region, the enforcement of the sub-regional economic co-operation, mitigation of trans-boundary conflicts, and enhancing bio-diversity conservation. 1. Introduction Recently, some important international institutions, like the World Bank (WB) and the Asian Development Bank, have pointed out that there will exist in water crises, water conflicts, and even water wars in the 21th century.

  • Effects of Atmospheric CO2 Consumption on Rock Weathering in the Pearl River Basin, China
    E3S Web of Conferences 98, 06011 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20199806011 WRI-16 Effects of atmospheric CO2 consumption on rock weathering in the Pearl River basin, China Xiaoqun Qin1,*, Zhongcheng Jiang1, Liankai Zhang1, Qibo Huang1, and Pengyu Liu1 1Institute of Karst Geology, ChineseAcademy of Geological Sciences, Guilin 541004, China Abstract: Atmospheric CO2 is absorbed and dissolved in water via karst processes not only in carbonate rock areas, but in all rock areas of the earth. The chemical and isotopic analysis results, particularly of strontium, for water samples collected from eleven stations along the Pearl River, four times over the course of one year, showed that due to weathering by - 2+ 2+ carbonate or silicate rocks, HCO3 , Ca , and Mg have become the main ions in the river water. Through river ion stoichiometric and flux calculations, the carbonate rock weathering rate and atmospheric CO2 consumption were found to be 27.6 mm/ka and 540 x 103 mol/km2.a, which are 10.8 and 6.7 times the corresponding values for silicate rock. With the beneficial climatic conditions for rock erosion and large areas of carbonate rock in the Pearl River Basin, the atmospheric CO2 consumption value is about 2.6 times the average value for the 60 major rivers in the world. 1 Introduction Rock weathering is a universal, and one of the most influential, geological processes that occurs on the earth’s surface. Atmospheric CO2 is an important driving force for the karst geological processes [1]. Atmospheric CO2 can be removed by chemical weathering of rocks and produce huge carbon sinks, thereby reducing atmospheric CO2.

Though a considerable body of literature tend to deal with the three issues separately, yet innate interconnections among them are also acknowledged and often discussed. The region has received streams of immigrants since colonial times.

Bamboo Flowering ● The ‘gregarious flowering of bamboo’ inside the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (WWS) may pose a threat to wildlife in the Nilgiri biosphere. ● The bamboo groves in the Wayanad forest are the mainstay of herbivores in the Nilgiri biosphere during summer. ● The gregarious flowering may adversely affect migration of lower herbivores owing to the mass destruction of bamboo groves after the flowering. ● The farmers living near the sanctuary fear that the destruction of bamboo groves may worsen the increasing man-animal conflict. ● The bamboo flowering is considered a bad omen in several northeastern states of India, especially when accompanied by an increase in rodent population.
