气候变化对中国多年冻土和寒区环境的影响

中国的多年冻土总面积为 2 .1 5× 1 0 6 km2 ,主要分布在高海拔地区。 40年来 ,随寒区经济的快速发展和资源、环境问题的日益突出 ,冻土和寒区气候变化研究获得了长足的进展。我国大部分地区的多年冻土退缩趋势明显。 2 1世纪 ,受气候变暖和人为活动的共同影响 ,青藏高原和东北地区北部多年冻土将大幅退缩。冻土广泛退缩将对中国的寒区经济和环境产生重要影响。但是 ,冻土退缩及其对环境的影响还存在很大的不确定性。     

黄河源区多年冻土温度及厚度研究新进展

利用新布设的冻土孔及原有冻土资料,分析黄河源区冻土温度和厚度的空间分布。源区实测多年冻土年均地温最低为-1.81℃,冻土最厚74 m,均位于巴颜喀拉山北坡的查拉坪。214国道(K445-K604段)沿线多为高温多年冻土(年均地温>-1℃),但巴山北坡海拔4 520 m、布青山海拔4 300 m以上,年均地温低于-0.5℃。巴山北坡海拔4 610 m、布青山海拔4 420 m以上,年均地温低于-1℃。巴山北坡海拔每升高100 m,年均地温减少0.47~0.75℃,冻土厚度增加16~25 m;纬度向北增加1°,年均地温减少0.85℃,冻土厚度增加20~30 m。     

新藏公路新疆段多年冻土特征及其灾害初探

新藏公路新疆段沿线海拔高，气候干冷，第四纪松散堆积层厚，在高山区和山原河谷盆地区发育了多年冻土。勘查研究表明：多年冻土分布于K306 000～K310 000和K515 000～K705 00间191．6km路段上，属高原片状连续多年冻土。沿线个别路段含冰量较高，为多冰-富冰冻土，中冻胀中融沉；绝大部分路段以少冰多年冻土为主，弱冻胀弱融沉。现有公路主要冻土灾害有涎流冰、路基融沉、路面翻浆、冻胀破坏、冻融滑塌和冻融泥流等。随着整治改建工程的实施，多年冻土原有的水热平衡的破坏，冻土灾害将趋于严重。根据沿线多年冻土的特征，提出施工和运营中应采取保护冻土的设计原则，通过改线避绕、抬高路基、提高路基强度及完善截排水系统等5条措施以减少公路工程对多年冻土的扰动和破坏。     

黄河源区冻土分布制图及其热稳定性特征模拟

以黄河源区多年冻土分布现状和热力特征为研究目标,通过野外调查及实测数据,分析了黄河源区不同地形地貌、不同地表覆盖条件下的冻土形成、分布特征和以地温为基础的热学特征,探讨了不同尺度因素对多年冻土分布的影响。结果表明,在高程低于4 300 m的平原区,多年冻土多不发育;在高于4 350 m的山区,局地地形对多年冻土的形成与分布作用显著。除阳坡地形外,多年冻土均比较发育;介于4 300~4 350 m的低山丘陵和平原区,局地地形、地表植被、土壤湿度等因素共同决定着多年冻土的形成和分布格局。以年均地温指标为基础,构建了以纬度、经度和高程为自变量的回归模型,并对阳坡地形进行微调和校正。结果表明,以0oC作为划分季节冻土和多年冻土的标准和界限,多年冻土面积2.5×10⁴km²,约占整个源区面积的85.1%;季节冻土面积0.3×10⁴km²,约占整个源区面积的9.7%。进一步以0.5oC或1.0oC为分类间隔绘制了黄河源区多年冻土热稳定性空间分布图。     

Medium and small embankment dams on permafrost: A discussion of current concepts

This article discusses the current concepts of dam design and construction in permafrost regions. It is demonstrated that embankment dams often change their state from frozen to thawed and back during the operation period. It is shown that these transitions are not always attributable to observed climate warming. Where geotechnical, hydrogeological, and permafrost conditions are complicated, proper performance of embankment dams can only be provided by adhering to a selected thermal design for, as an example, a frozen state.     

长江黄河源区多年冻土变化及其生态环境效应

应用江河源区五站1980-1998年0cm、5cm、10cm、15cm、20cm、40cm浅层地温资料、钻孔深层地温资料以及勘探资料,详细分析了两大源区的冻土变化,结果表明:近20年来,受气候变暖影响,江河源区多年冻土总体上保存条件不利,区域上呈退化趋势。岛状多年冻土和季节冻土区年均地温升高约0 3～0 7℃,大片连续多年冻土区升幅较小,为0 1～0 4℃。多年冻土上限以2～10cm/a的速度加深。在黄河源多年冻土的边缘地带,垂向上形成不衔接冻土和融化夹层,多年冻土分布下界上升50～70m。冻土退化已对江河源寒区经济和生态环境产生了一系列重要影响。但是,冻土退缩及其对环境的影响还存在很大的不确定性。     

Problems and countermeasures in construction of transmission line projects in permafrost regions

Construction of power transmission lines is becoming an important part of permafrost engineering in China.This paper reviews the construction status and problems of transmission lines in different countries,as well as corresponding solutions that would be of practical significance for sustainable engineering practices.Russia has the longest history of transmission line construction in permafrost areas,with transmission lines（mainly 220 kV and 500 kV） spanning approximately 100,000 km.However,all countries suffer from permafrost-related tower foundation stability problems caused by freezing-thawing hazards such as frost heave and thaw settlement,frost lifting,and harmful cryogenic phenomena.As point-line transmission line constructions,the lines,poles and towers should be reasonably selected and installed with a comprehensive consideration of frozen soil characteristics to effectively reduce the occurrence of freezing-thawing disasters.Reinforced concrete pile foundations are widely used in the permafrost regions,and construction in winter is also a universal practice.Moreover,facilitating engineering measures like thermosyphons are an effective way to reduce freezing-thawing hazards and to maintain the stability of tower foundations.     

黄河源区水资源变化及其影响因子

Taking the source region of the Yellow River as a study area and based on the data from Madoi Meteorological Station and Huangheyan Hydrological Station covering the period 1955-2005, this paper analyses the changing trends of surface water resources, climate and frozen ground and reveals their causes. Results show that there exist frequent fluctuations from high to low water flow in the 51-year period. In general, the discharge has shown a de- clining trend in the 51 years especially since the 1990s. The annual distribution shows one peak which, year on year is getting smaller. （1） Precipitation has a significant and sustained influence on discharge. （2） A sharp rise of temperature resulted in the increase of evaporation and the decrease of discharge, which has a greater effect than on ice-snow melting. （3） Frozen ground tends to be degraded markedly. There is a significant positive correlation be- tween the permafrost thickness and the discharge. （4） Evaporation rates are significantly increasing, leading to the decrease of discharge. 70% of the discharge reduction resulted from climate change, and the remaining 30% may have been caused by human activities.     

疏勒河源区的多年冻土

疏勒河流域地处祁连山西段,气候极端干旱.2008年6月在疏勒河源区海拔3729-3890 m的不同地面、地形条件下在5个点上布设了10眼钻孔进行钻探勘察,并布设测温管定期监测地温.根据勘察和测温资料,确定了疏勒河流域内多年冻土下界高程在3750 m左右,查明河谷中松散地层以冲积层为主,多为粗颗粒土,多年冻土含冰量普遍较低.局地因素对多年冻土状态影响明显.其中坡度差异可以使地温相差0.5℃.坡向的差异可以使地温相差达1.0℃;地层水分含量对浅层地温的影响甚至超过坡向的影响;地面状态的差异,造成地温、活动层厚度等方面的显著差异.与祁连山中东部地区相比,疏勒河源区多年冻土几乎没有生态过程的影响,多年冻土形成和保存受气候驱动,基本上代表了一类干旱气候条件下的多年冻土特征.     

Case studies: Frozen ground design and construction in Kotzebue, Alaska

Alaska has many construction design challenges due to permafrost. Due to either climate changes or human activities and development, permafrost often becomes unstable. Unstable soils can cause thaw settlement, frost jacking, or heaving. These can cause damage to infrastructure, increase maintenance costs, and decrease the life of construction projects. Kotzebue, Alaska, a remote village in the northwest arctic part of Alaska, is ideal for observing such permafrost effects on infrastructure. Three case studies of Kotzebue construction projects are reviewed here： the Front Loop Water Main Extension, which shows the importance of both passive and active freeze thaw protection for water service pipes and how to minimize differential movement between pipes and buildings; the Wastewater Lift Station Replacement, which describes methods for reducing thaw settlement in buildings over time when it is not feasible to prevent thaw settlement, and compares the benefits of frozen ground excavation over traditional excavation practices; and the Ted Stevens Way Rehabilitation, which discusses the effectiveness of 2001 best design practices for gravel road construction over tundra and permafrost, identifies their design and construction failures, and proposes future solutions.     

大通河源区多年冻土的地温特征及其影响因素分析

多年冻土是一种热现象,地温是判断多年冻土特征的有效指标。通过对祁连山区东北部大通河源区多年冻土分布状况的野外考察与钻探等工作,借助于实测地温数据和地温曲线分析工具,对大通河源区39个钻孔点的多年冻土地温特征进行了对比分析,对影响多年冻土地温的主要因素进行了概括和总结。结果表明,在大通河源区,高程、植被类型、地表覆盖特征、土壤水分条件等是影响多年冻土地温的主要因素。根据尺度性划分的结果,高程是影响区域多年冻土地温变化的一级因素;随着空间尺度的下降,植被类型和地表覆盖特征成为二级影响因素;在沼泽化草甸植被覆盖区,土壤水分条件又成为影响多年冻土地温的三级影响因素。对多年冻土地温特征及影响因素的分析不仅有助于了解区域多年冻土的稳定性、预测全球气候变暖背景下的多年冻土演变和退化,还可以为寒区气候变化、生态、水文等相关领域的发展提供基础,为各项工程设施的实施和维护提供建议和指导。     

东北黑土区土壤剖面地温和水分变化规律

东北黑土区土壤侵蚀的结果使土壤在坡面上发生再分配,土壤腐殖质层厚度的空间变异增大。腐殖质层厚度的变化又引起地温和土壤水分等土壤物理性质的变化,地温和水分是影响和反映冻融侵蚀作用的重要因子,也是影响地表和土壤剖面物质运移的重要因素。本文通过实测不同厚度腐殖质层剖面的地温和土壤水分,分析了地温和水分随时间和土壤剖面深度的变化规律。结果显示腐殖质层厚度对土壤温度和含水量有显著影响,腐殖质层较厚的剖面解冻速度比薄层黑土区要慢,不同深度土层温度到达0℃的日期也不相同,腐殖质层较厚的剖面冻结时间要滞后1周左右。同时,腐殖质层较厚的黑土区土壤含水量明显大于薄层黑土区,土壤水分运移的深度范围也大。     

黄河源区地表水资源变化及其影响因子

利用1955~2005 年黄河源区玛多气象站和黄河沿水文站气象、水文资料, 分析了该区域地表水资源、气候及冻土演变规律, 揭示了地表水资源变化的成因。研究表明: 近51 年黄河源流量丰枯转化频繁, 但在总体上特别是进入20 世纪90 年代以来黄河源流量呈减少趋势, 流量年内分配表现为单峰型; 降水量对流量有着较为显著的影响, 且具有一定的持续性; 黄河源区气温的显著升高对于加大流域蒸发量导致流量补给的减少作用要大于其升高致使冰雪融水的补给作用, 其中春季气温回升的这一效应更为显著; 黄河源区冻土呈现出显著的退化趋势, 冻土厚度与流量总体上呈显著的正相关关系, 其不断减小削弱了自身天然隔水层的作用; 黄河源区蒸发量呈现出显著的增大趋势, 并导致流量的减少; 气候变化导致流量的减少量占总减少量的70%, 其余30%可能是由人类活动加剧造成的, 气候及冻土因子对流量的作用大小依次为冻土、降水、蒸发和气温, 显然多年冻土对于黄河源区地表水资源的形成和发育有着至关重要的作用。
