渤海湾西部与南部海岸线和潮滩演变及其影响因素

通过对渤海湾西部和南部自1975年至2010年之间不同时期卫星遥感影像的研究发现,近40年来研究区海岸形态发生了巨大的变化,海岸线长度呈现先轻微减小后大幅增加的状态,很多岸段岸线向海有较大推进,最远达20余千米;潮滩呈向海淤涨趋势,渤海湾西部年平均淤积速率比南部略大;岸线的向海推进以及潮滩的不断淤长,使得渤海湾面积持续减小。目前,研究区沿岸除存在部分河口型自然海岸线外,几乎全部变为人工海岸线。从沉积物来源、水动力变化以及人类活动等方面对研究区海岸线和潮滩演变的影响因素进行了分析,指出这些演变是自然因素和人类活动影响共同作用的结果,随着开发利用海洋活动的增加,人类活动的影响在研究区海岸带环境演变中所起的作用越来越明显和重要。     

1996－2020年黄河口清水沟流路海岸线动态演变及其与水沙量的关系研究

海岸线演变及其动态监测,对沿海地区生态保护和可持续发展至关重要。受自然过程和人类活动的影响,黄河三角洲海岸线始终处于动态变化之中。本文基于1996－2020年黄河口Landsat系列卫星影像,利用数字岸线分析系统（DSAS）,探讨了近25年来黄河口海岸线动态演变规律及其对黄河输沙量变化的响应关系。研究发现：现行河口地区海岸线平均向海淤进260 m/a,老河口岸线平均变化-167 m/a。调水调沙前,河口岸线整体处于蚀退阶段;调水调沙后,现行河口岸线初期快速淤进,后速率逐渐减缓,老河口始终处于蚀退状态。年内尺度上,现行河口岸线在调水调沙年份汛期前后淤进明显,非调水调沙年份汛期前后淤进缓慢,老河口岸线变化基本与年际变化一致。调水调沙前后,黄河入海沙量对岸线演变的影响程度提升,在年内尺度上对汛期前后现行河口岸线变化作用显著（R2=0.93）     

江苏中部淤泥质海岸岸线变化遥感监测研究

海岸线监测是了解海岸冲淤变化的基础。针对淤泥质海岸潮间带坡度平缓的特点,考虑到潮汐对遥感海岸线监测的影响,基于多潮位站插值校正的水边线离散点潮位赋值及坡度计算对水边线方法进行了改进,并结合潮间带实测坡度资料校正,推算遥感海岸线。选择江苏中部冲淤变化频繁、自然岸线保有率较高的扁担河口至川东港岸段开展海岸线变迁遥感监测研究。结果表明,研究区坡度主要在0.001~0.002之间,潮间带宽度由北向南越来越宽。北部扁担河口至射阳河口岸段处于冲刷环境中,大量以养殖塘围堤为主的人工岸线不断被侵蚀后退;射阳河口至四卯酉河口岸段以海岸线在自然状态下的动态变化为主,2010-2015年平均冲淤速率小于10 m/a,变化幅度较小;南部四卯酉河口至川东港岸段,自然岸线淤长明显,同时人工围垦导致岸线不断向海推进。根据监测结果,认为新洋港至斗龙港岸段应为研究区由北部侵蚀转向南部淤长的过渡带。     

莱州湾西岸岸滩冲淤特征分析

利用风暴潮前后潮滩剖面的实测对比及不同时期地形图和卫星遥感影像解译分析，研究了莱州湾西岸海滩冲淤变化特征。结果表明，莱州湾西岸海滩中、高潮滩处于相对稳定状况，低潮滩呈现弱淤积的特征。岸线50多年来的总体变化特征是1986年以前岸线淤进蚀退变化较明显，1986年以来海岸线逐渐趋于稳定。分析表明，岸滩变化的原因主要为人类活动对岸滩形态的改造以及大风暴潮的影响。     

古淮口岸线冲淤演变

根据实地调查资料及有关文献，对古淮河口的动态冲淤演变进行了研究。由于海面变化，黄河夺淮等诸多自然与人文因素的影响，古淮口海岸线变迁十分复杂。黄河夺淮前，河口东迁缓慢；黄河夺淮后，河口岸线东迁速度加快；黄河北归后，此带岸线蚀退严重。     

黄河三角洲河口段海岸线动态及演变预测

黄河淤积造陆形成黄河三角洲,黄河三角洲地区表层均为第四系全新统松散沉积物,以细颗粒的粉砂为主,呈松散—稍密状态,孔隙度较高,稳定性较差,极易受到海洋动力侵蚀造成海岸蚀退。随着黄河断流天数逐年增多,使黄河来水来砂量逐年递减,在黄河淤积和海洋动力交互或共同影响下,现代黄河三角洲海岸线迅速地发生着淤进蚀退交替的演变。自1976年黄河人工改道走清水沟流路以来,黄河三角洲河口段海岸线总体处于淤进状态。对河口地区1986—2004年间遥感图像进行比较分析,发现有关岸线位置的原始数据间存在近似的二元一次线性相关关系,通过建立回归模型,对2005—2010年河口地区海岸线形态进行了演变预测。预测结果表明,2005—2010年间黄河三角洲原河口沙嘴前端处于蚀退状态,而北汊1流路附近有一直淤进扩张的趋势。     

杭州湾北岸张家厍潮滩动态系统的频谱分析

应用ＡＲ谱和多维最大熵谱方法分析了杭州湾北岸张家厍潮滩的波浪，潮流及潮滩面高程数据。结果表明，潮滩的变动和潮流，波浪变化的关系十分密切，潮滩面高程具有３０，１５，２－５ｄ的周期变化；冬春季节潮滩变化以潮流作用造成的低频变化为主，夏秋季节则由低频向高频转移，波浪引起的潮滩高频变化也很显著；低潮滩到中潮滩下部的冲淤变化与潮流作用关系密切，中潮滩上部，高潮滩的冲淤变化对常浪性质的波浪作用具有明显的响应。     

基于遥感和GIS的黄河口最近20年淤蚀时空动态及水沙影响

为研究黄河口近20年来的淤蚀动态,实现对黄河口海岸线的长期动态监测,分析其变化的影响因素,基于Landsat TM、ETM+以及OLI遥感影像数据,在ENVI环境下,利用一般高潮线法、缨帽变换、监督、非监督分类以及目视解译等方法,提取1998-2018年时间间隔为2年的11个时相的海岸线,并在ArcGIS中进行叠加分析,完成了对近20年黄河口海岸线的动态监测与变迁分析。结果显示:1998-2018年黄河口海岸线变化具有明显的时空差异性,淤进与蚀退并存。总体看,黄河口研究区总面积自1998年至2018年总体呈向内陆蚀退的趋势,海岸线总长度缩短15.73 km,总面积减少65.37 km~2;淤积主要发生在黄河入海口的沙嘴处,冲淤强度自2004年开始逐渐减弱;入海口南部的沙嘴侵蚀现象严重,侵蚀强度自2010年有所减弱;孤东大堤附近海岸线没有明显的淤蚀变化。黄河来水来沙与海浪侵蚀作用是影响河口陆域面积变化的主要驱动力,近年来人类活动也成为河口岸线演变的重要影响因素。本研究为实现黄河口的合理规划,科学开发黄河口岸线资源提供了科学依据。     

长江口九段沙岸滩的短周期地貌动力过程

根据2006年5～10月(洪季)长江口九段沙上沙两固定断面的逐月滩面高程测量及表层沉积物的粒度分析结果,尤其是应用"碧利斯"台风前后的实测水文地貌资料,结合同期表层悬沙浓度的逐日观测资料,开展了九段沙岸滩地貌动力过程及沉积物对台风响应的研究.结果显示,长江口九段沙上沙东南岸滩演变表现为"岸冲滩淤"的变化规律,即堤岸呈现冲蚀,潮滩在冲淤变化中总体趋于淤积.2006年"碧利斯"台风期间,九段沙上沙波高达2.56 m,增水1 m多,强浪伴随增水,导致滩面平均蚀低6.4 cm,最大蚀深为20.2 cm.台风作用造成滩面冲刷,沉积物粗化,台风过后滩面迅速回淤,粒径变细.这充分表明,暴风浪是引起九段沙上沙岸滩及其沉积物短期突变的重要动力因素.河口潮滩冲淤对流域水沙变化有较敏感响应,长江来水来沙变化是制约潮滩季节性冲淤演化的重要因子.岸滩短期变化主要原因在于波浪掀沙和潮流输沙的联合作用.由于潮流和潮位位相不一致,造成涨潮流携高含沙量水体上滩落淤,落潮流携低含沙量滩水归槽,涨潮输沙淤滩被波浪刷滩所掩盖,如此往复,潮滩淤积.最后分析了上沙抛石堤的护岸保滩作用及不足之处,并提出了加固措施.现有的上沙抛石堤能防御常浪冲刷,受台风浪袭击时仅能抵御堤岸蚀退,石堤自身的毁坏难以避免,需经常修护;在潮沟口应设涵洞;基于台风浪的巨大能量,抛石堤块石需增大增重.该研究结果可为河口湿地的保护和建设提供科学依据.     

海州湾岸线蚀淤演变及预测

基于2013-2021年间海州湾18期Lansat 8遥感影像,利用海岸线类型多样性指数、岸线变化率（EPR）和净海岸移动量（NSM）对海州湾各类型岸线蚀淤演变情况进行分析,并基于Prophet时间序列预测模型对2025年岸线进行定量预测。结果表明,9年间基岩岸线整体较稳定;琴岛栈桥到临洪河口淤泥质岸线不稳定,岸线明显向海淤积;砂质岸线整体较稳定,无明显蚀淤倾向。预测2025年海州湾淤泥质岸线呈向海延伸趋势,临洪河口附近岸线呈向海延伸趋势,其余岸线均无明显淤蚀变化,较为稳定。     

Model of the post-Cenozoic evolution of the cryolithozone of the shelf of the western part of the Laptev Sea

The analysis of the structure of the cryolithozone, facies, and thicknesses of the Quaternary sediments and the results of the physicochemical mathematical modeling of the modern shelf of the western part of the Laptev Sea support the influence of the Late Pleistocene glaciations on the heat conditions and the distribution of the permafrost in the area. A ～200-m thick glacier formed under aerial conditions from atmospheric precipitation represented the metamorphosed snow cover. According to the modeling, the long-living (from 60?50 to 10?4 ky) glacier reduced the thickness of the permafrost rocks in the reviewed shelf area for 280–360 m. The Holocene marine transgression additionally decreased the thickness from 50–140 m on the inner shelf to 220–350 m on the outer shelf. The modern submarine cryolithozone 450-0 m thick is wide-spread in the studied region from the coast to the shelf boundary (isobaths of 130–140 m), where it pinches out at a distance of ～380 km from the coast at a depth of ～250 m above the sea level.     

Investigation of the mechanism of the long-term evolution of the carbon cycle in the ecosystem of the Sevastopol bay

We analyze the components of the carbon system of the Sevastopol bay waters and the balance of main sediment-forming substances using the data of field investigations in 1998–2008. The interannual variations of total inorganic carbon and the equilibrium partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the bay water are noted. An increase in the flux of carbon dioxide into the bay and in the content of organic carbon in bottom sediments is revealed, and an explanation of this phenomenon is given. The priority accumulation of organic carbon in the sediments of the bay is established. We assess the interannual variation in the relative abundances of organic and inorganic carbon as an index of the carbon cycle stability.     

Contemporary state of the investigation of the influence of the discharge of rivers on the hydrologic structure of the Black Sea

We generalize and analyze the state of investigations of the influence of river waters on the hydrologic structure of the Black Sea. Specific features of the water, regime and hydrography of rivers flowing into the sea, data on the discharge of rivers, and intrayear and interyear variability of the discharge are presented. We discuss and analyze works studying the transformation of river waters, routes of desalinized sea waters, and their influence on the thermohaline structure and dynamic regime of the sea.

Modelling of the ecosystem of the Black-Sea shelf zone near the estuary of the Danube

We analyze the results of numerical calculations performed according to the three-dimensional interdisciplinary model of an ecological system of the Black-Sea shelf zone near the estuary of the Danube. The complete system of equations of hydrothermodynamics is solved together with transport equations of the advection-diffusion-reaction type used to describe the transformation of a substance (nitrogen) between the components of the characteristic vectors of the ecosystem: plankton, detritus, and biogenic elements (nitrates). We describe the distinctive features of the circumcontinental distribution of components obtained as a result of numerical experiments and present arguments for the conclusion that the ecosystem of the Danube estuary water area plays the role of a buffer zone between the press of the Danubian biogenic pollutions and the neighbouring areas of the shelf zone and open sea.

Relationship between the path of the Kuroshio in the south of Japan and the path of the Kuroshio Extension in the east

A relationship between paths of the Kuroshio and Kuroshio Extension (KE) is investigated, using the satellite-derived altimetry dataset of 1993–2008. When the Kuroshio takes the nearshore nonlarge meander path or typical large meander path and resultantly goes through the deeper channel (about 2500 m) of the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge, the KE path adopts a relatively stable state with the two quasi-stationary meanders. On the other hand, when the Kuroshio takes the offshore nonlarge meander path and then passes over the shallower part of the Ridge (about 1000 m), the KE path tends to be convoluted, i.e., an unstable state.     

Dynamics of the ice cover and peculiarities of the ice transportation of the sediments at the tidal flats of the Kandalaksha Gulf of the White Sea

Ten years of semistationary studies of the interaction of the ice cover and the coastal relief of the Kandalakhsa Gulf in the White Sea allowed us to reveal the peculiarities of these processes in the warm and cold years and the mechanisms of the origination of ice forms, including ice tents, which govern the character of the tidal flats. Three dynamic fast ice zones are distinguished by their geomorphological location, morphology, and ice dynamics. The dependence of the mechanisms and volumes of the enrichment of the fast ice in the sediments on the coastal zone??s relief was established. At the coast of the Kindo Peninsula (Velikaya Salma Strait), the ice mostly contains fine-sandy sediments. Coarser sediments, including boulders, are occasional and frozen into the ice at the contact of the fast ice and the bottom. At the expense of the ice??s spreading by 4?C6 times in the warm years and 2?C4 times in the cold years, several thousand tons of sediments mostly from the tidal flat??s surface (100?C700 m³ from 1 km of coast in the wide tidal flats and <50 m³ on the steep coasts) are delivered to the water area.     

Parameters of the sediments of the deep-water basin of the Black Sea

The methodology and the first results of the computations of the volumes, masses, and growth rates of the sedimentary body of the buried Black Sea basin are presented. Their temporal evolution reflects the regional paleogeodynamics, in particular, the reorientation of the vector of the relative movement of the Arabian and Eurasian lithospheric plates and the related intensification of their collision in the late Miocene-Pliocene.     

Variability of the nutrient runoff of the rivers of the Arctic Basin

The spatiotemporal variability of the hydrochemical composition of the riverine runoff in nearmouth areas is presented using the example of selected rivers of the Arctic Basin. The temporal dynamics of the riverine nutrient runoff are mainly determined by the seasonal and interseasonal variations in the drainage basins. The spatial variations in the chemical composition of riverine waters in the near-mouth areas are mainly caused by the dynamics of the water flow and the river bed relief and, to a lesser degree, by biochemical processes. It is shown that the variations in the nutrient composition of the waters in near-mouth areas are comparable in magnitude to those at the river-sea geochemical barriers.     

A model of the dynamics of the ecosystem of the Sea of Azov

We use many-year archival observations of hydrologic and hydrobiologic state of the Sea of Azov for the identification of the structure of a model of its ecosystem. The ecosystem model, supplemented with expert estimates of bioresource consumption (fish reserve), contamination level, and possible ecologic fines for violation of the sea natural state, is formalized by the method of system dynamics. Hereat, the major part of influence functions is found in terms of observational data with application of self-organization algorithms. We also present the results of simulated experiments with the model of the ecosystem, which enable us to analyse scenarios of its behaviour under the influence of various external factors (wind, river discharge, water exchange with the Black Sea, etc.).
