Latin America and the Caribbean: A Systematic and Regional Survey     

近20a西喀喇昆仑地区吉尔吉特河流域冰川面积变化及其对气候变化的响应

冰川被誉为“固态水库”,对区域生态环境和发展至关重要。喀喇昆仑山地区的冰川出现了退缩停滞乃至前进的现象,被称为“喀喇昆仑异常”。为探明西喀喇昆仑地区吉尔吉特河(Gilgit River)流域的冰川面积变化及其影响因素,本文基于1993、2000、2016年三个时期的多景LandsatTM/ETM+/OLI遥感数据,通过目视解译法提取三期冰川边界。结果表明:(1)1993—2016年,吉尔吉特河流域冰川面积共萎缩了45.82±9.07km^2,约占1993年冰川总面积的4.07±0.80%。其中,1993—2000年冰川面积的年均萎缩率为0.19±0.02%,2000—2016年冰川面积的年均萎缩率为0.17±0.03%,即近15a来研究区冰川面积萎缩呈微弱的减缓趋势。(2)1993—2016年研究区内共有12条冰川发生过前进现象,其中G073768E36822N(冰川编码)冰川发生了较为快速的前进,在1996—1999年末端前进了477m,前进速率为159m·a^-1。(3)近40a来,吉尔吉特河流域的气温呈持续上升趋势,降水呈先减少后增加趋势。气温升高是研究区冰川退缩的主要原因,降水的增加缓解了因升温而导致的冰川面积萎缩。
