Temporal variations of reference evapotranspiration and controlling factors: Implications for climatic drought in karst areas

Variations in reference evapotranspiration (ET₀) and drought characteristics play a key role in the effect of climate change on water cycle and associated ecohydrological patterns. The accurate estimation of ET₀ is still a challenge due to the lack of meteorological data and the heterogeneity of hydrological system. Although there is an increasing trend in extreme drought events with global climate change, the relationship between ET₀ and aridity index in karst areas has been poorly studied. In this study, we used the Penman–Monteith method based on a long time series of meteorological data from 1951 to 2015 to calculate ET₀ in a typical karst area, Guilin, Southwest China. The temporal variations in climate variables, ET₀ and aridity index (AI) were analyzed with the Mann–Kendall trend test and linear regression to determine the climatic characteristics, associated controlling factors of ET₀ variations, and further to estimate the relationship between ET₀ and AI. We found that the mean, maximum and minimum temperatures had increased significantly during the 65-year study period, while sunshine duration, wind speed and relative humidity exhibited significant decreasing trends. The annual ET₀ showed a significant decreasing trend at the rate of ?8.02 mm/10a. However, significant increase in air temperature should have contributed to the enhancement of ET₀, indicating an “evaporation paradox”. In comparison, AI showed a slightly declining trend of ?0.0005/a during 1951–2015. The change in sunshine duration was the major factor causing the decrease in ET₀, followed by wind speed. AI had a higher correlation with precipitation amount, indicating that the variations of AI was more dependent on precipitation, but not substantially dependent on the ET₀. Although AI was not directly related to ET₀, ET₀ had a major contribution to seasonal AI changes. The seasonal variations of ET₀ played a critical role in dryness/wetness changes to regulate water and energy supply, which can lead to seasonal droughts or water shortages in karst areas. Overall, these findings provide an important reference for the management of agricultural production and water resources, and have an important implication for drought in karst regions of China.     

Experimental study on the dynamic modulus of compacted loess under bidirectional dynamic load

The dynamic characteristics of compacted loess are of great significance to the seismic construction of the Loess Plateau area in Northwest China, where earthquakes frequently occur. To study the change in the dynamic modulus of the foundation soil under the combined action of vertical and horizontal earthquakes, a hollow cylindrical torsion shear instrument capable of vibrating in four directions was used to perform two-way coupling of compression and torsion of Xi'an compacted loess under different dry density and deviator stress ratios. The results show that increasing the dry density can improve the initial dynamic compression modulus and initial dynamic shear modulus of compacted loess. With an increase in the deviator stress ratio, the initial dynamic compression modulus increases, to a certain extent, but the initial dynamic shear modulus decreases slightly. The dynamic modulus gradually decreases with the development of dynamic strain and tends to be stable, and the dynamic modulus that reaches the same strain increases with an increasing dry density. At the initial stage of dynamic loading, the attenuation of the dynamic shear modulus with the strain development is faster than that of the dynamic compression modulus. Compared with previous research results, it is determined that the dynamic modulus of loess under bidirectional dynamic loading is lower and the attenuation rate is faster than that under single-direction dynamic loading. The deviator stress ratio has a more obvious effect on the dynamic compression modulus. The increase in the deviator stress ratio can increase the dynamic compression modulus, to a certain extent. However, the deviator stress ratio has almost no effect on the dynamic shear modulus, and can therefore be ignored.     

砂土层中盾构掘进实测数据及数值模拟分析

相对于其他土层,盾构在富水砂层中掘进的风险更大,但目前盾构掘进引起砂层变形的机制并不清楚。依托广州某电力隧道项目,选取一典型富水砂性地层断面对盾构隧道施工引起的地层变形进行高频率、近距离的监测,得到以下几点认识可供类似的工程参考：（1）富水环境下,相对于均质砂层,隧道处于粉砂+粗砂地层组合更容易发生渗透破坏。此情况下,粉砂层在承受更大渗透力同时,又受粗砂层强烈补给供水,非常容易被侵蚀甚至掏空。（2）地层均匀损失与局部集中损失引起地层扰动规律有较大的不同。地层均匀损失时由于拱效应没集中局部损失的强,其扰动范围、地表沉降及水平位移均更大。水平位移最大值的位置与地层损失的非均匀化也密切相关。地层均匀损失时,隧道两边最大水平位移发生在隧道高程范围内;但地层非均匀损失（隧道顶部局部塌落）时,发生最大的水平位移的位置会明显上移。（3）渗透力的作用使得地层扰动范围扩大。（4）地层损失率受注浆影响严重,隧道附近大,地表最小,隧道上方土体呈松散化趋势。

内蒙古元宝山小建昌营子地区三面井组沉积环境

在进行内蒙古1∶5万区域地质调查工作中,对内蒙古赤峰元宝山镇小建昌营子一带的下二叠统三面井组砂岩进行了粒度分析。结果表明,萨胡成因环境判别值为10.66~10.76,沉积环境为河流相或三角洲相;弗里德曼粒度参数判别为陆相河砂沉积;浊流C-M判别图解显示沉积环境介于三角洲与浊流沉积之间。三面井组总体为一套河流相-三角洲前缘滑塌浊积扇沉积。滑塌浊积扇一般发育于深湖、半深湖区,结合本地区三面井组地层中缺乏海相碳酸盐岩沉积,综合认为本区的三面井组形成于河流-湖泊三角洲环境。

准噶尔盆地西北缘三叠系地层格架的建立——来自岩性、地震、测井及地化方面的证据

准噶尔盆地西北缘三叠系一直是我国重要的油气攻关层位,然而其地层发育情况却长期存在争议,尤其是精细层位划分以及内部是否存在不整合界面的问题。本次研究结合了前人研究成果、岩性、测井、地震资料,并以野外露头研究为基础,通过对深底沟—大侏罗沟、花园沟、黑油山沟、吐孜沟、水库沟5条野外剖面的考察,识别出各类标志层以及J/T、T/C、T3/T2、T2k2/T2k1、S6/S7界线,认为三叠系内部并不缺失S2、S3(砂组,位于T2k2),并可区分出此二层位,随即建立起多个野外剖面的时空对应关系;此外,本次研究还通过不同岩性岩石测井响应特征将下三叠统划分为3段6砂组,将上三叠统划分为3段7砂组,将中三叠统则更细划分为2段7砂组14小层,并通过元素地层学方法对层位进行了局部检验。

宜昌地区早志留世（Llandoverian）腕足类一新科Spinochonetidae (fam. nov.)及其意义

腕足类新科Spinochonetidae(fam.nov.)建立在宜昌地区志留系兰多维列统罗惹坪组下段中部(上埃隆阶)的Spinochonetes Rong,Xu et Yang(1974)和Spinolella(gen.nov.)两个属,以及一个属、种未定的分类单元的基础上。新科成员仅有从腹壳喙部伸出一根直的腹喙刺,这与Chonetoidea超科内的Strophochonetidae科以及Chonestrophiidae科众成员的铰合缘刺都是从腹壳铰合缘上伸出来的有着本质差别。另外,本文还对Spinochonetes以及它的属型种S.notata Rong,Xu et Yang(1974)进行重要图解和补充描述。与此同时,对Spinolella(gen.nov),以及S.minuta(gen.et sp.nov.)进行系统描述和对比。据目前所知,新科成员只分布于我国鄂西、黔东北、陕南和川北等地,属于上扬子台地的土族居民。因为Spinochonetidae(fam.nov.)属于腕足类独特的一个类型,演化快,贝体极小,保存精美,因此具有分类学、地层对比,以及恢复古环境等方面的重要意义。
