近40年来青藏高原典型高寒草原和湿地蒸散发变化的对比分析

青藏高原地表蒸散发是决定亚洲水塔水储量变化的关键要素.在快速升温背景下,长时间尺度的青藏高原地表蒸散发如何响应气候变化亟需深入探讨.以青藏高原两种典型高寒生态系统(草原和湿地)为研究对象,以野外观测和互补蒸散发模型为研究手段,利用常规气象资料驱动互补蒸散发模型,应用于青藏高原的典型资料稀缺地区,并就模拟结果进行验证评估,揭示了两种典型高寒生态系统近40年的蒸散发变化特征.结果 表明,校正参数后的非线性互补蒸散发模型可较为准确地模拟两种下垫面的蒸散发,亦即该模型在青藏高原资料稀缺区具有较好的应用潜力.1973-2013年,青藏高原典型高寒草原蒸散发呈不显著的增大趋势,而高寒湿地则以2.0 mm/a的速率显著增大.相关分析表明,高寒草原和湿地蒸散发的年际变化主要与水汽压(即空气湿度)有关.阶段性分析发现,1970s至1990s末期,两种生态系统蒸散发皆在波动中逐渐增大;而1997年以后,高寒草原和高寒湿地蒸散发的变化模式表现出明显差异:前者在波动中逐渐减小,后者则持续增大至2000s中期.造成这种差异的原因可归结为高寒湿地受冰川融水的影响,土壤含水量可维持在较高的水平,加之2000s高寒湿地的水汽压和日照时数增大,使得该时段内地表蒸散发仍呈增大之势,亦即上游的冰川融水对下游的湿地蒸散发有重要影响.结果 表明,空间距离较近的两种典型高寒生态系统,由于所受水源补给不同,局地蒸散发对气候变化的响应模式可能有较大差异.

谈新形势下地勘单位改革发展的现状及未来发展方向

新中国成立以来,地勘单位先后在计划经济和市场经济下为国家的发展做出了重要贡献,也先后经历了初步探索、属地化管理、事企分体运行等不同阶段。十九大以来,随着事业单位改革的逐步深入,地勘单位改革迫在眉睫。为了更好的适应时代发展,又快又好地进行地勘单位转型,通过研究不同历史时期地勘单位发展的问题和困难,指出现阶段面临的主要问题是改革意愿不强烈、转型工勘领域受阻、资本占有率低和人才匮乏。以此为基础,提出转变思想、学习集团化企业路线、投身地方产业结构、全面提升自然资源意识、加强自身建设和长期持续稳定转型的发展建议,供转型发展的地勘单位参考。

Accelerating consolidation of soft ground by aerosol injection technique: a field study

We present an aerosol injection technique (AIT) to accelerate the consolidation of soft soils for ground improvement. We employ high-pressure aerosol injections at different depths to enhance the drainage in soft soils for faster consolidation. The technique is briefly described. A well-instrumented field test is carried out to demonstrate its performance. Compared to the traditional methods, our approach gives rise to faster dissipation of excess pore pressure and larger ground settlement. This method is particularly attractive for the improvement in soft ground in medium depths.

     

Carboniferous ridge subduction in the Xingmeng Orogenic Belt: Constraints from geochronological,geochemical, and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic analysis of strongly peraluminous granites and gabbro-diorites in the Xilinhot micro-continent

The Xingmeng Orogenic Belt evolved through a long-lived orogeny involving multiple episodes of subduction and accretion. However, there is a debate on its tectonic evolution during the Late Paleozoic. Here, we report geochemical, geochronological, and isotopic data from strongly peraluminous granites and gabbro-diorites from the Sunidzuoqi–Xilinhot region. Zircon U–Pb ages suggest that the intrusive rocks were emplaced during the Early Carboniferous (333–322 Ma). The granites exhibit geochemical characteristics similar to S-type granites, with high SiO₂ (72.34–76.53 wt.%), Al₂O₃ (12.45–14.65 wt.%), and A/CNK (1.07–1.16), but depleted Sr, Nb, and Ta contents. They exhibit positive ε_Nd(t) and ε_Hf(t) values (?0.3 to 2.8 and 2.7–5.7, respectively) and young Nd and Hf model ages (T_DM2(Nd)=853–1110 Ma and T_DM2(Hf)=975–1184 Ma), suggesting that they may be the partial melting products of heterogeneous sources with variable proportions of pelite, psammite, and metabasaltic rocks. The meta-gabbro-diorites from the Maihantaolegai pluton have low SiO₂ (47.06–53.49 wt.%) and K₂O (0.04–0.99 wt.%) contents, and demonstrate slight light rare earth element (REE) depletion in the chondrite-normalized REE diagrams. They have high zircon ε_Hf(t) values (14.41–17.34) and young Hf model ages (T_DM2(Hf)= 230–418 Ma), indicating a more depleted mantle source. The variations of the Sm/Yb and La/Sm ratios can thus be used to assess the melting degree of the mantle source from 5% to 20%, suggesting a quite shallow mantle melting zone. We propose that the petrogenesis and distribution of the strongly peraluminous granites and gabbro-diorites, as well as the tectonic architecture of the region, can be explained by a ridge subduction model. Based on these results, and previous studies, we suggest a southward ridge subduction model for the Sunidzuoqi–Xilinhot region.     

Coupled three-dimensional discrete element–finite difference simulation of dynamic compaction

Discrete element method has been widely adopted to simulate processes that are challenging to continuum-based approaches. However, its computational efficiency can be greatly compromised when large number of particles are required to model regions of less interest to researchers. Due to this, the application of DEM to boundary value problems has been limited. This paper introduces a three-dimensional discrete element–finite difference coupling method, in which the discrete–continuum interactions are modeled in local coordinate systems where the force and displacement compatibilities between the coupled subdomains are considered. The method is validated using a model dynamic compaction test on sand. The comparison between the numerical and physical test results shows that the coupling method can effectively simulate the dynamic compaction process. The responses of the DEM model show that dynamic stress propagation (compaction mechanism) and tamper penetration (bearing capacity mechanism) play very different roles in soil deformations. Under impact loading, the soil undergoes a transient weakening process induced by dynamic stress propagation, which makes the soil easier to densify under bearing capacity mechanism. The distribution of tamping energy between the two mechanisms can influence the compaction efficiency, and allocating higher compaction energy to bearing capacity mechanism could improve the efficiency of dynamic compaction.
