Disaster chains initiated by the Wenchuan earthquake

The Wenchuan earthquake caused numerous landslides and avalanches, which initiated causal chains of geological and ecological disasters. Field investigations and field experiments were performed in the earthquake area in 2008 and 2009 to study the disaster chains. Four types of disaster chains have been identified and seven cases have been studied. In the disaster chains, each episode was caused by the previous episode, or the causal episode. In the first chain, landslide created a quake lake, which was followed by landslide dam failure flood and very intensive fluvial process. The last episode of the chain was loss of habitats and destruction of aquatic biocommunities. The Tangjiashan and Huoshigou landslides initiated such a type of disaster chain. The second chain consisted of landslide, drainage system burying, debris flows, and development of new drainage system and intensive fluvial process. The Wenjiagou landslide initiated such a type of disaster chain. The third chain consisted of avalanches, grain erosion (unusual erosion of bare rocks due to insolation and temperature change), slope debris flows, and flying stones. Many such disaster chain events occurred on the mountains by the Minjiang River section from Yingxiu to Wenchuan. The fourth chain has only two episodes: avalanches during the earthquake occurring on elevation between 100 and 800 m from the riverbed, and rock falls or new avalanches due to increased slope angle of high mountains (400–1,500 m from the riverbed). The Chediguan bridge was broken by such avalanches in July 2009, in which six were killed and more than 20 were injured. For all the disaster chains, the volume of mass movement in each episode was much less than the causal episode (previous episode). In other words, there was an attenuation along the causal chains. The attenuation factor is defined as the ratio of the volume of mass movement or affected area in one episode of a chain to the volume or affected area in the causal episode. The study concluded that the attenuation factor ranges from 0.02 to 0.3. Macroinvertebrates were used as indicator species to evaluate the ecological effect of the disaster chains. The number of species was greatly reduced by the causal chains, although the river section was not directly affected by landslides.

5·12汶川大地震诱发了大量滑坡、崩塌、泥石流等次生地质灾害,对人民群众的生命财产和社会经济的发展形成了严重威胁.针对次生地质灾害危险性评价,选取重灾区汶川县作为研究区域,利用遥感与地理信息技术的空间数据管理和空间数据分析平台,获取了研究区的次生地质灾害信息,分析了研究区内次生地质灾害与各影响因子,包括地形地貌、地层岩性、水系、地震断裂之间的相关性特征,并结合信息量法模型进行次生地质灾害危险性评价.高度、中度和轻度危险区的面积分别为1 130.196 km2、1 739.584 km2、1 213.219 km2.本次地震触发次生地质灾害的分布具有集群式分布的特点,即断裂带及其附近地区地质灾害集中发育,而远离断裂带区地质灾害很快衰减,呈零星分布;从灾害发育的区域特征分析,汶川县震后次生地质灾害呈现出北部和东部重、西部和南部轻的特点.所得研究结果与实际情况较吻合,表明地理信息系统结合信息量模型能够快速、有效地对次生地质灾害的空间分布以及危险性作出评价.      

Natural hazard chain research in China: A review

Most catastrophic disasters are triggered by multi-hazards that occur simultaneously or sequentially rather than singly; this can result in more severe consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the occurrence, development, and transformation of hazard chains and comprehend their rules in order to predict secondary hazards. An effective action for reducing potential losses can be taken to block a hazard chain before it expands and transforms. Many studies have been conducted on hazard chains, some of which are of great significance. This article is a comprehensive literature review on hazard chains. First, an introduction to the definition, classification, and recognition of hazard chains is given. Then, some typical researches on mechanical studies of geological hazard chains, meteorological hazard, chains and geological–meteorological hazard chains are presented. On the basis of case studies on hazard chains, the following comprehensive methodologies are summarized: (1) engineering geology methodology, (2) integrated geographical assessment methodology, (3) system dynamics methodology, and (4) methodology of disaster physics. Reconstruction as a part of the disaster process is also reviewed. However, the research presented is still in the beginning stage; neither the mechanics nor the methodology is finalized. Research on hazard chains still has a long way to go.

Integration of GIS,AHP and TOPSIS for earthquake hazard analysis

Worldwide, earthquakes and related disasters have persistently had severe negative impacts on human livelihoods and have caused widespread socioeconomic and environmental damage. The severity of these disasters has prompted recognition of the need for comprehensive and effective disaster and emergency management (DEM) efforts, which are required to plan, respond to and develop risk mitigation strategies. In this regard, recently developed methods, known as multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), have been widely used in DEM domains by emergency managers to greatly improve the quality of the decision-making process, making it more participatory, explicit, rational and efficient. In this study, MCDA techniques of the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), integrated with GIS, were used to produce earthquake hazard and risk maps for earthquake disaster monitoring and analysis for a case study region of Küçükçekmece in Istanbul, Turkey. The five main criteria that have the strongest influence on the impact of earthquakes on the study region were determined: topography, distance to epicentre, soil classification, liquefaction and fault/focal mechanism. AHP was used to determine the weights of these parameters, which were also used as input into the TOPSIS method and GIS (ESRI ArcGIS) for simulating these outputs to produce earthquake hazard maps. The resulting earthquake hazard maps created by both the AHP and TOPSIS models were compared, showing high correlation and compatibility. To estimate the elements at risk, population and building data were used with the AHP and TOPSIS hazard maps for potential loss assessment; thus, we demonstrated the potential of integrating GIS with AHP and TOPSIS in generating hazard maps for effective earthquake disaster and risk management.

黄河流域甘肃段地质灾害发育特征

黄河流域甘肃段是甘肃省地质灾害最为集中的区域。截止2019年底,查明地质灾害点共12829处,占全省灾害总量的70.83%。按照水系分布划分,以渭河流域、泾河流域、黄河干流流域最为发育,其他水系次之。依据空间分布特征,划分为永登—靖远等北部泥石流灾害为主的区段、中部崩塌滑坡泥石流集中区段、南部崩塌滑坡泥石流为主的区段和玛曲—碌曲地质灾害轻微发育区段。依据时间分布特征,具有2—5月冻融期、7—9月主汛期两个高发时段。地质灾害具有小灾巨损、群发巨损和链式巨损等致灾特征。单体灾害易形成巨大损失,降雨、地震引发的群发性地质灾害往往损失巨大,同时崩滑流阻断河道形成的堰塞湖风险也常有发生。     

震后公路边坡崩塌地质灾害形成机理分析

震后崩塌是强震作用下形成的一类分布广泛、震裂变形严重、潜在威胁大的次生地质灾害。为了较为深入系统地分析其形成机理,本文结合对映秀至卧龙公路沿线震后公路边坡崩塌地质灾害详细调查和115条实测剖面的分析,首先把震后公路边坡崩塌地质灾害从孕育形成到失稳破坏的演化发展过程分为4个阶段,即原始结构面的形成阶段、潜在变形体的形成阶段、震裂岩体的形成阶段和失稳破坏阶段。在此基础上,分析认为震后公路边坡崩塌地质灾害的形成机理可归纳为震裂-滑移式、震裂-倾倒式、震裂-溃屈式和震裂-错断式4种模式,研究成果为灾后公路重建和防灾减灾提供了有力参考。     

则木河断裂带灾害效应及致灾模式研究

则木河断裂带位于青藏高原东南缘,川滇菱形地块东边界的突起上,为大型左旋走滑活动断裂,因其所处的特殊构造部位、强烈的地壳形变与断裂活动,从而具有地形复杂、构造强烈、地震活跃、次生地质灾害严重的特点。大箐断层在则木河断裂带次级断裂中活动速率最大,地处断陷河谷盆地和大箐梁子隆起区,且大箐梁子为1850年7.5级地震震中和断层枢纽运动中心,河谷保留冰川活动的遗迹,地质灾害发育,因此将大箐断层作为研究对象具有良好的典型性和代表性。通过现场调查,依据孕育地灾的地质背景条件,斜坡在地震动力作用下的响应特征和斜坡失稳的成因机制,将断裂致灾模式分为3大类,7亚类,共15种类型。大类的划分主要依据地质灾害的类型,亚类考虑灾害动力响应过程及斜坡失稳演化模式,是斜坡失稳破坏最显著的差异;小类的划分主要依据坡体的地质结构,是灾害失稳具体形式上的差异。本文较为系统地揭示了大箐断层地质灾害的成因机制及致灾模式。

冰雪型地质灾害链高位萌生、动力溃散及物相转化过程剖析北大核心CSCD

受全球气候变暖对高海拔山地区气温放大效应影响,冰雪型地质灾害趋于增多,且普遍呈现链式发育特征,具有灾害类型动态转化、影响范围大、破坏程度高等特点,严重威胁区域内重大工程建设安全。基于实地考察与文献调研方式,将高寒山地区常见冰雪型地质灾害凝练为:冰岩崩、雪岩崩、冰雪型碎屑流、冰碛物堆积滑坡、冰湖溃决、冰川型泥石流6类,并分别剖析各自典型的发育特征;而后,对冰雪型地质灾害3种典型链式组合关系予以剖析,发现:冰雪型地质灾害链普遍存在“高位萌生→动力溃散→物相转化”动态演化过程;据此,对冰雪型地质灾害高位萌生、动力溃散及物相转化三阶段特征及内在机制进行分析,明确了冰雪型地质灾害的“高位萌生→位能转化→侵蚀铲刮→滑移堆积”累积链生放大机理。最后,对冰雪型地质灾害链各演化阶段进行评价模型梳理,认为:新型破碎-扩散模型、Flores接触力模型可用于评价冰雪型地质灾害高位萌生向动力溃散过程;犁切模型可较好描述其侵蚀铲刮与体积放大过程;颗粒流模型、空气润滑模型、超孔隙水压力模型可用于揭示后续的高速滑移堆积特征;而Voellmy流变模型、Bingham流体渗流模型可较好解释其灾害链条的物相转化特征。研究对于科学评价冰雪型地质灾害链动态演化过程具有基础参考价值。

2008年5月12日,中国四川省龙门山地区发生MS8.0大地震,诱发了大量的斜坡地质灾害。全面、准确的地质灾害编录和对其发育规律分析是灾害防治研究的基础。因此,本文选取同震地质灾害典型发育的绵远河流域作为研究区,利用2期震后的SPOT5卫星遥感影像,结合震前航拍影像,进行了同震地质灾害图斑的自动识别,并结合影像目视检核和灾害野外验证精确地编录了斜坡地质灾害。针对先前学者在此研究区的研究成果,对比分析本次地质灾害提取方法的优势与成果的完整性与精确性。在此解译成果基础上,进行了地质灾害发育规律的空间分析,得出了一些有别于前人的认识:（1）遥感影像是提取地震地质灾害的有效手段,但需要注意遥感影像的时相选择和期次的对比,这样才能获取完整且准确的解译结果; （2）提取的研究区地质灾害总面积为85.5km2,约为前人研究结果的两倍; 解译结果显示,灾害主要集中分布于北川映秀地表破裂带附近和绵远河主河道两侧的斜坡; （3）流域地处地形、地貌过渡带,高程、坡度、坡形、断裂及地表破裂和地层岩性是汶川地震地质灾害分布的主控因素; 在高程1500m和4100m附近灾害面积百分比最大,分别为31%和25%以上; 灾害分布主要集中在50附近,面积百分比与坡度呈正相关; 在凹形陡坡单元灾害面积分布最大,其次为凸型中坡单元; 灾害分布与该地区断层的活动特征相关性很大; 硬岩、上硬下软地层是地质灾害的主要发生区域,占49.6%。     

Coupling sentiment and human mobility in natural disasters: a Twitter-based study of the 2014 South Napa Earthquake

Understanding population dynamics during natural disasters is important to build urban resilience in preparation for extreme events. Social media has emerged as an important source for disaster managers to identify dynamic polarity of sentiments over the course of disasters, to understand human mobility patterns, and to enhance decision making and disaster recovery efforts. Although there is a growing body of literature on sentiment and human mobility in disaster contexts, the spatiotemporal characteristics of sentiment and the relationship between sentiment and mobility over time have not been investigated in detail. This study therefore addresses this research gap and proposes a new lens to evaluate population dynamics during disasters by coupling sentiment and mobility. We collected 3.74 million geotagged tweets over 8 weeks to examine individuals’ sentiment and mobility before, during and after the M6.0 South Napa, California Earthquake in 2014. Our research results reveal that the average sentiment level decreases with the increasing intensity of the earthquake. We found that similar levels of sentiment tended to cluster in geographical space, and this spatial autocorrelation was significant over areas of different earthquake intensities. Moreover, we investigated the relationship between temporal dynamics of sentiment and mobility. We examined the trend and seasonality of the time series and found cointegration between the series. We included effects of the earthquake and built a segmented regression model to describe the time series finding that day-to-day changes in sentiment can either lead or lag daily changed mobility patterns. This study contributes a new lens to assess the dynamic process of disaster resilience unfolding over large spatial scales.     

近年来我国泥石流灾害时空分布规律及成因分析

中国是世界上遭受泥石流灾害最为严重的国家之一,灾害发生数量大,造成的人员伤亡和财产损失较高,同时监测和防治难度极大。本文收集了2005-2015年间发生的全部泥石流灾害共计10 927起,对灾害发生时间、地点、灾害规模、灾害损失以及灾害成因进行了统计,发现泥石流灾害具有近年来发生数量明显下降、集中分布在西部和东南沿海省份、特大型和大型灾害损失最为惨重等时空分布特点及成灾特点。通过对具体案例剖析后发现,预警技术有待提高、山区城镇建设场地选址不当、多年来泥石流灾害防治标准偏低、震区灾害防治形势严峻、灾害防治意识淡薄为我国泥石流灾害危害严重的主要原因。同时,我国正在积极应对泥石流灾害的威胁,如：主动提高震区泥石流灾害防治标准,研发新型的拦挡技术;研发具备实时可视化等功能的监测预警系统,提高监测预警效率;提高群众防灾意识,大力发展群测群防监测预警体系;转变观念,将泥石流灾害防治与城镇化发展规划有机结合。
