Abstract: Carbonates of the Triassic system,widely distributing in the Malinghe gorge,mainly form gorge,peak cluster,peak forest,stone forest landscapes. Among the geomorphologic landscape,there is a 2 km long gorge called the Tianxing gallery locating at 104°56′E and 25°08′N. The gallery has typical waterfal...
Abstract: Soil erosion refers to a process that soil and soil parent materials are destroyed under the exogenic action. To understand impacts of land use type on soil mechanical properties and to provide scientific basis for soil erosion,the characteristic of distribution of soil mechanical properties at vari...

Besides Devonian and Tertiary strata,all strata would be found in this district. Carbonate rock layers are mainly co...
Abstract: The Jiaozuo coalmine, 1 300 km2 in area, situates in the southeast edge of the Taihangshan uplift in China. The Ordovician limestone aquifer and the Carboniferous limestone aquifer are separated into the upper and the lower aquifer in the mining area by bauxitic mudstone. Because of the impact of th...
Abstract: The feasibility study on the drought resisting wells locating is divided into four steps: regional planning, groundwater-rich areas zoning, well points locating and drilling process analyzing. Firstly, according to the hydrogeological characteristics of the Yunnan Province, when placing drought resi...
Abstract: The Ciba-Gangtou village water-rich block,16.07 km2 in area,is located in the Panlongjiang river valley on the east of Sheshan fault in northern suburb of Kunming. There are some famous karst springs such as the Heilongtan,the Lanlongtan and the Bailongtan. The karst aquifer of the water-rich block ...
Abstract: The study area is in southwest Guangxi karst area. The lead-zinc ore is low temperature hydrothermal filling deposit that has mined over 50 years. The major strata include the upper Cambrian, the Devonian, the lower Cretaceous and the Quaternary systems. The shallow karst develops strongly but the d...
Abstract: The Fenghuang substation is located in the planning industrial area in northern Laibin city of Guangxi, occupying about 170 m×160 m in area. Landform there belongs to gentle slope on a karst monadnock covered with soil layer on the surface. Any unfavorable geology such as soil cave is not found duri...
Abstract: The study area is located in the west Hunan and Hubei, belong to the Yangtze platform. There is a tidal facies carbonate formation from the middle Cambrian to the early Ordovician sedimentaries, namely the Loushanguan group. Because of the sea-level lowering event at the end of the Cambrian, the car...
Abstract: Ordovician buried hill reservoir in Lunnan is located in the Lunnan ancient uplift in Tarim basin and the geological reserves of petroleum there are more than 6×108 t. Ordovician buried hill in Lunnan experienced Caledonian and other period multiphase tectonic movement, karst buried hill reservoir i...
