Abstract ( 741 )
Major floods in the Yangtze River Valley tended to occur in post-El Niño summers. A major El Niño took place in 2015 and was decaying rapidly in the equatorial Pacific. What impacts did this El Niño have on rainfall in China during the 2016 summer? This paper presents the physical basis for climate prediction, reflects the journey to understand and predict climate variability, and ends with a discussion of challenges ahead.

Safety accidents induced by urban underground engineering and their control

ZHANG Dingli
Science & Technology Review. 2017, 35 (5): 31-37. ;  doi: 10.3981/j.issn.1000-7857.2017.05.003

Abstract ( 391 )
Based on the dynamic characteristics of "ground-environment-construction disturbance" and the statistical analysis of typical safety accidents in the construction of urban underground engineering, this paper points out that the essence of safety accidents in urban underground engineering is the instability and deformation caused by construction, and that controlling ground deformation is the key to safety accident prevention. Considering the structural characteristics of the urban complex stratum, it is suggested that the ground deformation under the influence of the engineering should be considered from three aspects:deformation of ground material, stability of mesoscopic structural layer, and environment inducement. More scientific predictions for complex ground deformation can be made from these three aspects. This paper puts forward the contents of security risk assessment on buildings (structures) and a working procedure for safety risk control of urban underground engineering construction, significantly promoting the control level of construction.

Abstract ( 347 )
Geological conditions are complex in China, and China is one of the countries suffering most serious geological disasters in the world. With the implementation of the new urbanization planning, the geological disaster risk pattern will change. Based on the analysis of overall situation of national geo-disasters and new urbanization planning and the international development trend of science and technology of disaster prevention and mitigation, this paper proposes a series of suggestions in terms of promoting scientific and technological innovation, innovative geo-disaster survey and risk assessment, and strengthening risk management. These suggestions may enhance the quality and efficiency of geo-disaster prevention and risk mitigation, strengthen the capacity of technology support for geo-disaster risk mitigation, and reduce the geo-disaster risk during the process of new urbanization of China.

Abstract ( 292 )
Safety of drinking water is a prominent environmental problem worldwide, which is directly related to people's life and health. How to guarantee the safety of drinking water is also becoming globally a hot issue. The paper tries to discuss deeply the main problems about the security system of drinking water in China, which were reflected by the unexpected event that the benzene in the local tap water was over the standard in Lanzhou in 2014. Based on the analysis of the current situation of security system of drinking water in China, we compare domestic and foreign health standards in terms of monitoring indexes, monitoring frequencies and monitoring methods. Combining the foreign advanced experience with the practical situation in China, we put forward corresponding proposals on the basis of the measures to provide a scientific basis for improvement of the safety of drinking water.

Abstract ( 606 )
Seismic monitoring undoubtedly benefits from the Internet technology when our society has come to the"Internet +"era. The developments in seismic monitoring are reviewed from an Internet point of view in this paper, including the construction of the China Seismic Network, the technical systems at the National Seismic Network Center, and the data products, management and services. It is concluded that popular B/S model, decentralized structure and bidirectional data management are the trend and characteristics of seismic monitoring.

Abstract ( 416 )
The earthquake early warning system (EEWS) has been gradually developed from scientific hypothesis into real disaster prevention practice for the past 30 years. This paper summarizes the worldwide EEWS development and its constructing divergence in different time periods. Moreover, an introduction of the use of MEMS (Microeletro Mechanical Systems) and smartphone by seismologist and engineers as a new means of earthquake early warning is given. Not only the space for EEWS development but also more information about EEWS time nodes is analyzed in this paper. Finally, the relation between EEWS and real-time seismology is discussed.

Abstract ( 459 )
Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) is considered an integral part of the future intelligent transportation system (ITS) that has the potential in improving traffic efficiency, road safety and traveler's comfort. VANET is a subset of mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) and does not depend on any fixed infrastructure. The nodes are highly mobile and the network topology changes rapidly. It differs from MANET in terms of architecture, characteristic, application and challenge. In this paper, the latest research progress in VANET network architecture, communication protocols, modeling and simulation, information management and cloud computing is surveyed; the research methods are briefly discussed; and the directions for future research and development are also provided.

Abstract ( 580 )
With the impact of climate change, the spatial and temporal distribution of storm surges in the coastal area of Guangdong province is changing. The data of storm surges in the 18 tide stations for the past 30 years and the data of tropical cyclones for the past 60 years are collected. The research concerning the relations among temperature of sea surface, frequency of tropical cyclones landed and scale of storm surges is quoted. The prediction of sea level rise in Pearl River Delta is referenced. Using the spatial analysis technology of ArcGIS, the submerged scope for storm surge in the coastal area of Guangdong in year 2050 is determined and the hazard assessment is carried out. Five vulnerability assessment indicators of hazard-bearing bodies are proposed, which are social economic index, land use index, eco-environmental index, coastal construction index and disaster-bearing capability index. Then a storm surge vulnerability assessment index system in the Guangdong coastal area of Guangdong is established. Additionally, the international general model about coastal vulnerability assessment is improved. The vulnerability of storm surges in the coastal area of Guangdong in 2050 is calculated. Based on the hazard assessment and vulnerability assessment under climate change, the risk assessment of storm surges in the study region in 2050 is done and the a risk zoning map is drawn. This study reveals the risk of storm surges in the coastal cities in the future, and which may guide the government decision-making and land planning and provide scientific advices for the government to prevent and mitigate storm surge disasters, as well as for engineering design.
