With the rapid urbanization, an increasing number of landslides have been induced by human activities. In this study, a typical human-induced landslide known as the Maobazi landslide, which was triggered by foundation pit excavation in Sichuan Province, China, was analyzed. An emergency investigation was carried out to detect the basic deformation characteristics, followed by implementations of multiple monitoring schemes and emergency control measures to monitor and control reactivated deposits. The reactivated deposits depicted rapid deformations with a maximum deformation exceeding 140 mm from July to September before the emergency control measures were completed. The reactivated deposits gradually settled and were finally controlled in 2019. The results showed that the 2019 Maobazi landslide was a large; reactivated landslide with a scale reached to 520 Mm3, which could result in catastrophic consequences if it slipped down to nearby residential areas.
Debris flow can cause serious damages to roads, bridges, buildings and other infrastructures.Arranging several rows of deceleration baffles in the significant influence on the mobility and deposition characteristic of debris flow. The deposit amount first increased then decreased when the flow density rises,flow path can reduce the flow velocity and ensure better protection of life and property. In debris flow prevention projects, deceleration baffles can effectively reduce the erosion of the debris flow and prolong the running time of the drainage channel.This study investigated the degree to which a 6 m long flume and three rows of deceleration baffles reduce the debris flow velocity and affect the energy dissipation characteristics. The influential variables include channel slope, debris flow density, and spacing between baffle rows. The experimental results demonstrated that the typical flow pattern was a sudden increase in flow depth and vertical proliferation when debris flow flows through the baffles. Strong turbulence between debris flow and baffles can contribute to energy dissipation and decrease the kinematic velocity considerably. The results showed that the reduction ratio of velocity increased with the increase in debris flow density,channel slope and spacing between rows. Tests phenomena also indicated that debris flow density hasand the deposit amount of debris flow density of 1500kg/m~3 reached the maximum when the experimental flume slope is 12°. 相似文献
The soil microbiome that plays important ecological roles in mountains and forests is influenced by anthropogenic and natural causes. Human activity, particularly harvesting or thinning, affects the soil microbiome in forests by altering environmental conditions, such as vegetation, microclimate, and soil physicochemical properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects on forest thinning on the diversity and composition of the soil bacterial community. From next-generation sequencing results of the 16S rRNA gene, we examined differences in soil bacterial diversity and community composition before and after thinning at Mt. Janggunbong, South Korea. We identified 40 phyla, 103 classes, 192 orders, 412 families, 947 genera, and 3,145 species from the soil samples. Acidobacteria and Proteobacteria were the most dominant bacterial phyla in the forest soil of Mt. Janggunbong. Soil bacterial diversity measures (richness, Shannon diversity index, and evenness) at the phylum level increased after thinning, whereas species-level taxonomic richness decreased after thinning. Thinning provided new opportunities for bacterial species in Chloroflexi, Verrucomicrobia, Nitrospirae, and other nondominant bacterial taxa, especially for those not found in Mt. Janggunbong before thinning, to settle and adapt to the changing environment. Our results suggested that thinning affected the diversity and composition of soil bacterial communities in forests and mountains. 相似文献
To better understand the relationship between the pore capillary pressure and hydrate saturation in sediments, a new method was proposed. First, the phase equilibria of methane hydrate in fine-grained silica sands were measured. As to the equilibrium data, the pore capillary pressure and saturation of methane hydrate were calculated. The results showed that the phase equilibria of methane hydrates in fine-grained silica sands changed due to the depressed activity of pore water caused by the surface group and negatively charged characteristic of silica particles as well as the capillary pressure in small pores together. The capillary pressure increased with the increase of methane hydrate saturation due to the decrease of the available pore space. However, the capillary-saturation relationship could not yet be described quantitatively because of the stochastic habit of hydrate growth. 相似文献
The Magellan seamounts began forming as large submarine shield volcanoes south of the equator during the Cretaceous. These
volcanoes formed as a cluster on the small Pacific plate in a period when tectonic stress was absent. Thermal subsidence of
the seafloor led to sinking of these volcanoes and the formation of guyots as the seamounts crossed the equatorial South Pacific
(10–0°S) sequentially and ocean surface temperatures became too high for calcareous organisms to survive. Guyot formation
was completed between about 59 and 45 Ma and the guyots became phosphatized at about 39–34 and 27–21 Ma. Ferromanganese crusts
began formation as proto-crusts on the seamounts and guyots of the Magellan Seamount cluster towards the end of the Cretaceous
up to 55 Ma after the formation of the seamounts themselves. The chemical composition of these crusts evolved over time in
a series of steps in response to changes in global climate and ocean circulation. The great thickness of these crusts (up
to 15–20 cm) reflects their very long period of growth. The high Co contents of the outer parts of the crusts are a consequence
of the increasing deep circulation of the ocean and the resulting deepening of the oxygen minimum zone with time. Growth of
the Co-rich Mn crusts in the Magellan Seamount cluster can be considered to be the culmination of a long journey through time. 相似文献
The upper layer (above 140 m depth) temperature in the western Philippine Sea near Taiwan was sampled using a coastal monitoring
buoy (CMB) with 15 attached thermistors during July 28–August 7, 2005. The data were collected every 10 min at 1, 3, 5, 10,
15, and 20 m using the CMB sensors, and every 15 sec at 15 different depths between 25 m and 140 m. Internal waves and solitons
were identified from the time-depth plot of the temperature field. Without the internal waves and solitons, the power spectra,
structure functions, and singular measures (representing the intermittency) of temperature field satisfy the power law with
multi-scale characteristics at all depths. The internal waves do not change the basic characteristics of the multifractal
structure. However, the internal solitons change the power exponent of the power spectra drastically, especially in the low
wave number domain; they also break down the power law of the structure function and increase the intermittency parameter.
The physical mechanisms causing these different effects need to be explored further. 相似文献
This paper examines the mechanism controlling the short time-scale variation of sea ice cover over the Southern Ocean. Sea
ice concentration and ice velocity datasets derived from images of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Special
Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) are employed to reveal this mechanism. The contribution of both dynamic and thermodynamic
processes to the change in ice edge location is examined by comparing the meridional velocity of ice edge displacement and
sea ice drift. In the winter expansion phase, the thermodynamic process of new ice production off the ice edge plays an important
role in daily advances of ice cover, whereas daily retreats are mostly due to southward ice drift. On the other hand, both
advance and retreat of ice edges in the spring contraction phase are mostly caused by the dynamic process of the ice drift.
Based on the above mechanism and the linear relation between the degree of ice production at the ice edge and northward wind
speed, the seasonal advance of ice cover can be roughly reproduced using the meridional velocity of ice drift at the ice edge. 相似文献
A new method is presented to process and correct full-depth current velocity data obtained from a lowered acoustic Doppler
current profiler (LADCP). The analysis shows that, except near the surface, the echo intensity of a reflected sound pulse
is closely correlated with the magnitude of the difference in vertical shear of velocity between downcast and upcast, indicating
an error in velocity shear. The present method features the use of echo intensity for the correction of velocity shear. The
correction values are determined as to fit LADCP velocity to shipboard ADCP (SADCP) and LADCP bottom-tracked velocities. The
method is as follows. Initially, a profile of velocity relative to the sea surface is obtained by integrating vertical shears
of velocity after low-quality data are rejected. Second, the relative velocity is fitted to the velocity at 100–800 dbar measured
by SADCP to obtain an “absolute” velocity profile. Third, the velocity shear is corrected using the relationship between the
errors in velocity shears and echo intensity, in order to adjust the velocity at sea bottom to the bottom-tracked velocity
measured by LADCP. Finally, the velocity profile is obtained from the SADCP-fitted velocity at depths less than 800 dbar and
the corrected velocity shear at depths greater than 800 dbar. This method is valid for a full-depth LADCP cast throughout
which the echo intensity is relatively high (greater than 75 dB in the present analysis). Although the processed velocity
may include errors of 1–2 cm s−1, this method produced qualitatively good current structures in the Northeast Pacific Basin that were consistent with the
deep current structures inferred from silicate distribution, and the averaged velocities were significantly different from
those calculated by the Visbeck (2002) method. 相似文献
