An Estimation of Ground Ice Volumes in Permafrost Layers in Northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,China

The ground ice content in permafrost serves as one of the dominant properties of permafrost for the study of global climate change, ecology, hydrology and engineering construction in cold regions. This paper initially attempts to assess the ground ice volume in permafrost layers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau by considering landform types, the corresponding lithological composition, and the measured water content in various regions. An approximation demonstrating the existence of many similarities in lithological composition and water content within a unified landform was established during the calculations. Considerable knowledge of the case study area, here called the Source Area of the Yellow(Huanghe) River(SAYR) in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, has been accumulated related to permafrost and fresh water resources during the past 40 years. Considering the permafrost distribution, extent, spatial distribution of landform types, the ground ice volume at the depths of 3.0–10.0 m below the ground surface was estimated based on the data of 101 boreholes from field observations and geological surveys in different types of landforms in the permafrost region of the SAYR. The total ground ice volume in permafrost layers at the depths of 3.0–10.0 m was approximately(51.68 ± 18.81) km~3, and the ground ice volume per unit volume was(0.31 ± 0.11) m~3/m~3. In the horizontal direction, the ground ice content was higher in the landforms of lacustrine-marshland plains and alluvial-lacustrine plains, and the lower ground ice content was distributed in the erosional platforms and alluvial-proluvial plains. In the vertical direction, the volume of ground ice was relatively high in the top layers(especially near the permafrost table) and at the depths of 7.0–8.0 m. This calculation method will be used in the other areas when the necessary information is available, including landform type, borehole data, and measured water content.     

Characteristics of thawed interlayer and its effect on embankment settlement along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in permafrost regions

The formation of thawed interlayer beneath embankment can result in embankment settlement in permafrost regions. Based on the data on ground temperatures and deformations beneath the embankment, observed in-situ along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in permafrost regions from 2006 to 2013, characteristics of the thawed interlayer beneath the embankment and its influence on the embankment settlement are studied. The results indicate that the thawed interlayer hardly forms beneath the natural field, and beneath the embankments from the Qinghai-Tibet Railway the thawed interlayer develops widely, and it can be refrozen totally in the regions with lower mean annual ground temperature, and developed further in the regions with higher mean annual ground temperature. The thawed interlayer is closely related to the embankment settlement. The ice content of permafrost underlying the thawed interlayer influences the settlement of embankment. The higher the ice content is, the larger the settlement is, and vice versa. The increase in thickness of thawed interlayer mainly results from the decline of artificial permafrost table in high-temperature permafrost regions.     

Cryostructures and ground ice content in ice-rich permafrost area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with Computed Tomography Scanning

Permafrost is an important part of the cryosphere, playing an integral role in the hydrologic cycle, ecology, and influencing human activity. Melting of ground ice can drastically change landscapes and associated thaw subsidence may induce instability of infrastructure. The terrain conditions on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are complex, and the spatial distribution of ground ice is highly variable, so knowledge of its abundance and variability is required for impact assessments relating to the degradation of permafrost. This study examined 55 permafrost samples from warm, ice-rich permafrost region in Beiluhe Basin, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The samples were examined using Computed Tomography scanning, and the ice content and cryostructure were determined. The results indicated that: 1) variation in volumetric ice content was considerable(0%-70%), with a mean value of 17%; 2) seven cryostructures were identified, including crustal, vein, lenticular, ataxitic, reticulate and layered cryostructure; 3) volumetric ice content varied by cryostructure, with the highest associated with layered and ataxitic cryostructures. Volumetric ice contents were lowest for samples with pore and lenticular cryostructures. This work provides detailed ground ice content and will be helpful for assessing thaw subsidence and infrastructure stability on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.     

Three Decades of Sea-Ice Variability in Jiaozhou Bay Revealed by Landsat Observations

In this study, we used Landsat images and meteorological data to examine the spatiotemporal distribution and variability of sea ice in Jiaozhou Bay(JZB) between 1986 and 2016. The results show that JZB is not always covered by sea ice in winter, but in some extreme cases, sea ice has covered more than one-third of the sea area of the bay. Sea ice in JZB has generally formed between January 1 and February 5, primarily along the coast, and gradually expanding to the central area of the bay. Both meteorological and artificial factors have played important roles in modulating the sea ice distribution. We found sea ice coverage to have been strongly correlated with the accumulated freezing-degree days nine days before the occurrence of sea ice(R2 = 0.767). North-northwest surface winds have dominated the freezing period of sea water in the JZB, and wind speed has exerted a more significant influence on the formation of sea ice when the sea ice coverage has been generally small. Additionally, artificial factors began to affect the expansion of sea ice in JZB since 2007. The construction of the Jiao-Zhou-Bay Bridge(JZBB) is believed to have retarded water flow and reduced the tidal prism, thereby leading to the formation of an ice bridge along the JZBB, which effectively prevents the southward expansion of sea ice.

Overview of In - Situ Biodegradation and Enhancement

Microbial degradation technologies have been developed to restore ground water quality in aquifers polluted by organic contaminants effectively in recent years. However, in course of the degradation, the formation of biofilms in ground water remediation technology can be detrimental to the effectiveness of a ground water remediation project. Several alternatives are available to a remedial design engineer, such as Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRBs) and in -situ bioremediation, Hydrogen Releasing Compounds (HRCs) barrier, Oxygen Releasing Compounds (ORCs) barrier etc. which are efficient and cost- effective technologies. Excessive biomass formation renders a barrier ineffective in degrading the contaminants, Efforts are made to develop kinetics models which accurately determine bio - fouling and bio - filn formation and to control excessive biomass formation.

从地下水变化分析临汾地震台短水准异常的成因

利用深水井水位数据、龙子祠泉流量资料及临汾地震台短水准所在区域内的长观孔水位资料,分析临汾地震台及周边地区地下水整体变化状态,根据区域水位变化特征对临汾地震台短水准近年来出现的异常进行分析。结果表明,临汾地震台短水准测量场地周边区域地下水位在2011~2013年发生明显变化,与水准观测曲线变化趋势较为一致,水准异常时间滞后于水位变化2~3 a;而大范围水位上升尤其是浅水井水位明显上升主要是因为地下水开采量减少,非构造所致。水位上升引起平原区地面回弹的现象符合Terzaghi有效应力原理,即水位回升使孔隙水压力得到恢复,砂层回弹进而引起地面回弹,并引起短水准高差测值的变化。     

GRACE监测青藏高原及邻区陆地水储量变化结果的可变性

结合4种不同的去相关滤波和2种平滑滤波,利用5组GRACE数据反演了青藏高原及邻区陆地水储量变化趋势,研究了结果的可变性。结果表明,采用S&W（P2M8）变宽度滑动窗口去条带效果较好,其结果中的湖水、冰川信号与卫星测高观测的信号位置具有较好的一致性。高斯滤波的异常幅值与扇形滤波相差10%~30%,平滑处理后异常幅值减少,观测分辨率降低,部分湖和冰川信号甚至消失。CSR/GFZ/JPL重力场模型反演的结果相近,但CSR去条带效果最好;JPL质量模型MAS/MAS_S的结果也相近,但在高原西部有较大差异。重力场模型与质量模型的结果相差很大。在利用GRACE卫星监测本地区陆地水储量变化时,推荐使用S&W（P2M8）去条带滤波器、CSR重力场模型数据。

Interannual Variability and Scenarios Projection of Sea Ice in Bohai Sea Part I: Variation Characteristics and Interannual Hindcast

The Bohai Sea is one of the southernmost areas for sea ice formation in the northern hemisphere.Sea ice disasters in this body of water severely affect marine activities and the safety of coastal residents.In this study,we analyze the variation characteristics of the sea ice in the Bohai Sea and establish an annual regression model based on predictable mode analysis method.The results show the following:1)From 1970 to 2018,the average ice grade is(2.6±0.8),with a maximum of 4.5 and a minimum of 1.0.Liaodong Bay(LDB)has the heaviest ice conditions in the Bohai Sea,followed by Bohai Bay(BHB)and Laizhou Bay(LZB).Interannual variation is obvious in all three bays,but the linear decreasing trend is significant only in BHB.2)Three modes are obtained from empirical orthogonal function analysis,namely,single polarity mode with the same sign of anomaly in all of the three bays and strong interannual variability(82.0%),the north–south dipole mode with BHB and LZB showing an opposite sign of anomalies to that in LDB and strong decadal variations(14.5%),and a linear trend mode(3.5%).Critical factors are analyzed and regression equations are established for all the principal components,and then an annual hindcast model is established by synthesizing the results of the three modes.This model provides an annual spatial prediction of the sea ice in the Bohai Sea for the first time,and meets the demand of operational sea ice forecasting.     

2005-2016年北京中心城区热岛时空格局及影响因子多元建模

城市热岛效应作为城市范围的一种典型气候特征,在近年来受到了广泛的关注。了解城市热岛时空演变及形成原因对缓解城市热环境和提高人居舒适性有着重要意义。以北京市中心城区为例,首先,基于Landsat卫星2005、2010、2016年的热红外影像数据反演得到地表温度,采用均值标准差方法对地表温度进行划分得到多等级的热岛强度,分析城市热岛的空间格局和随时间的演变规律;其次,提取不透水层、植被、裸土和水体4种典型地物类型,统计不同年份下各热岛强度之间的转移信息并计算相关的热力景观格局指数;接着,依据离市中心的距离将中心城区分为30级缓冲区,统计分析每一级缓冲区内各地物类型的面积比例与热岛强度信息。最后,以各地物类型的统计数据,结合离市中心的距离,建立各影响因子与热岛强度之间的多元关系模型,综合分析地物类型和市中心的距离变化对城市热岛的影响。结果表明：北京中心城区整体热岛强度呈逐年增长的趋势,高等级热岛强度的热力斑块面积逐步扩张,热力景观类型的多样性随时间推移呈下降态势。不透水层对热岛强度的影响较大,具体表现为不透水层盖度越高,热岛强度越大;热岛强度随离市中心距离的增大逐渐降低。

兖州煤田是我国重要的煤炭能源基地之一,区内煤炭资源丰富,煤质优良,煤炭资源的大规模开发极大地促进了鲁南地区乃至全省经济的快速发展,但也产生了一系列负面影响如地面塌陷、地裂缝、水环境污染、水源地破坏等地质环境问题。兖州煤田分布区地处汶泗河冲积扇地下水富水区,是农村经济发达、人口密集分布区。煤炭开采规模的不断扩大,使得周边地下水和土壤环境造成了严重污染,部分地区村镇饮用水水质已成为制约其生产发展和生活改善的难题。通过兖州煤田村镇饮用水水质调查分析,掌握区内村镇饮用水水质状况和地域分布,提出保证村镇饮用水水质安全和水源地保护的措施与建议,对于改善煤田居民饮水与健康状况,提高生活质量,构建和谐社会具有重要现实意义。     

井工煤矿生态恢复治理工作中存在的问题探讨

井工煤矿对生态系统的影响和破坏主要为采空区导致地表变形、地面塌陷、地裂缝等地质灾害,地下水系统破坏和"三废"排放等。该文认为人们对矿区生产及闭坑后地下水污染对农业的危害未能引起足够的重视,急需强行关闭用作灌溉的污染水井,然后需要进行监测、封堵、治污等工作,逐渐提高矿区地下水质量;认为煤矿高岩温岩体作为地热能的主要赋存体,具有较好的热导率,通过水源热泵系统提取循环水中的热量,可以将采空区周边的地温能加以提取利用,让煤矿在生产及闭坑后均能产生地热能源;认为制约煤矿采空塌陷积水区治理的关键问题是解决充填积水区和井下采空区填充物问题,提出改造鲁南运河,将黄河泥沙输送到济宁及周边矿区;认为治理历史遗留矸石山的关键问题是爆破削坡过程中发生崩塌、滑坡、扬尘等灾害,可以利用高压水枪,配合破岩机和挖掘机联合作业来解决。     

电法在日照市丘陵区找水中的应用

电法勘探在寻找浅层地下水时,主要利用含水地质体与围岩的电阻率差异来间接找水,通过综合分析日照市不同地下水类型50余例物探找水定井资料,总结了其含水层的测深曲线特征,若围岩为高阻,则含水层曲线特征表现为平缓上升或变异下降;若围岩为低阻,则含水层曲线特征为明显上升段。对于含水性特征不明显的,开展激发极化法多参数测量,依据视极化率、半衰时等参数综合判断。对于日照市丘陵区松散岩类孔隙水、基岩裂隙水和构造裂隙水的不同电性特征,选择利用联合剖面法寻找含水构造,多参数激电测深法确定储水构造位置,经验系数法推断富水地层深度,能够快速、高效的确定井位,为今后日照市丘陵区的找水工作提供了经验。     

Arctic multiyear sea ice variability observed from satellites: a review

In comparison with seasonal sea ice(first-year ice,FY ice),multiyear(MY) sea ice is thicker and has more opportunity to survive through the summer melting seasons.Therefore,the variability of wintertime MY ice plays a vital role in modulating the variations in the Arctic sea ice minimum extent during the following summer.As a response,the ice-ocean-atmosphere interactions may be significantly affected by the variations in the MY ice cover.Satellite observations are characterized by their capability to capture the spatiotemporal changes of Arctic sea ice.During the recent decades,many active and passive sensors onboard a variety of satellites(QuikSCAT,ASCAT,SSMIS,ICESat,CryoSat-2,etc.) have been used to monitor the dramatic loss of Arctic MY ice.The main objective of this study is to outline the advances and remaining challenges in monitoring the MY ice changes through the utilization of multiple satellite observations.We summarize the primary satellite data sources that are used to identify MY ice.The methodology to classify MY ice and derive MY ice concentration is reviewed.The interannual variability and trends in the MY ice time series in terms of coverage,thickness,volume,and age composition are evaluated.The potential causes associated with the observed Arctic MY ice loss are outlined,which are primarily related to the export and melting mechanisms.In addition,the causes to the MY ice depletion from the perspective of the oceanic water inflow from Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and the water vapor intrusion,as well as the roles of synoptic weather,are analyzed.The remaining challenges and possible upcoming research subjects in detecting the rapidly changing Arctic MY ice using the combined application of multisource remote sensing techniques are discussed.Moreover,some suggestions for the future application of satellite observations on the investigations of MY ice cover changes are proposed.     

北极熊栖息地稳定性的遥感评估方法

北极熊是北极最重要的哺乳动物之一,近年来数量却在减少。海冰作为北极熊狩猎、活动和繁殖的平台,是其栖息地的重要组成部分。因此其种群栖息地变化主要依赖于海冰变化。本文基于美国雪冰中心的海冰密集度和NOAA提供的ETOPO1基岩数据,分析了北极海冰密集度、开阔水域面积、海冰消退时间、海冰出现时间、开阔水域季节长度的年际变化,进而评价北极熊栖息地的稳定性。结果表明,海冰密集度呈现降低的趋势,开阔水域面积增大,多年冰数量减少,大多变为一年冰。海冰消退时间提前,海冰出现时间延后,开阔水域季节长度大幅增加,与1992年相比增加了72 d。19个栖息地中,巴伦支海是开阔水域面积和季节长度变化贡献最大的海域,增加速度分别为9.71×10³ km²/a和71.69 d/10a。以开阔水域季节长度变化率为依据,将北极熊栖息地划分为稳定、次稳定和不稳定3个等级。总共有3个稳定栖息地,包括分布在相对其他栖息地而言纬度较低的楚科奇海、西哈得孙湾和南哈得孙湾。13个次稳定栖息地,包括拉普捷夫海、喀拉海、东格陵兰、巴芬湾、戴维斯海峡、福克斯湾、布西亚湾、麦克林托克海峡、梅尔维尔子爵海峡、挪威湾、北波弗特、南波弗特和兰开斯特海峡。3个不稳定栖息地,均位于70°N以北,包括北极盆地、巴伦支海和凯恩盆地。稳定区主要位于低纬度,不稳定区全部位于高纬度。该分级结果表明高纬度地区虽然海冰覆盖多,但是年际变化十分显著,不稳定的3个区域内北极熊对海冰变化适应时间更少,年际迁移变化大,对北极熊的生存发展更为不利。     

2015—2020年辽东湾海冰冰情时空特征及其影响因素

受冬季强寒潮侵袭,辽东湾会出现大范围结冰现象。为了分析2015—2020年辽东湾海冰冰情的变化规律与影响因素,本文选取Sentinel-1A/B数据开展辽东湾海冰监测。首先,采用巴氏距离选择最优纹理特征组合,再利用最大似然方法实现海冰分类;然后,根据上述海冰分类结果,分析海冰冰情等级、海冰外缘线、海冰面积、海冰类型和海冰结冰概率等冰情特征的变化规律;最后,研究海水深度、海温、气温和风速与海冰冰情的关系。主要结论如下：① 采用不同纹理特征组合方法和本文方法对2020年2月1日Sentinel-1B影像进行实验,结果表明本文方法的总体分类精度和Kappa系数分别为93.16%和0.85,分类精度最高。② 11月末到12月海冰类型以初生冰为主,间有灰冰;1月到2月中上旬以灰冰为主,间有初生冰和白冰;2月下旬到3月上旬的海冰类型以灰冰和初生冰为主。辽东湾内部结冰概率存在差异,北部沿岸结冰概率高于南部,东部结冰概率高于西部。辽东湾海冰冰情受海水深度、海温和气温影响明显,受风速影响较小。     

地壳形变与地下水异常关系研究进展

地壳形变异常是地壳构造变动中直接的表现，也是物理含义最为明确的地震前兆之一。地下水异常能够提供多种形式的构造活动过程(包括地震)。这两类异常能够以不同的力式和特点反映出地震孕育过程中伴随的前兆信息，并成为地震预报的重要手段；而它们之间既相互联系又相互影响。因此，对两类异常关系的研究对于识别地震前兆特别是短临前兆至关重要。归类了地震孕育模型及其前兆异常机理，并对前兆异常机理进行归纳整理和简述，然后从机理和前兆方面综述了地壳形变与地下水异常关系的研究成果。
