Geographical extremes in the glacial history of northern Eurasia: post-QUEEN considerations

This paper summarizes the principal results produced by the European Science Foundation's programme, Quaternary Environment of the Eurasian North (QUEEN). These results concern the distribution of late Quaternary glaciers of different ages across northern Eurasia. The pattern of glaciation is compared with the west–east climatic gradient of the continent. Of particular significance is the coincidence of the Late Weichselian ice margin with the modern 30°C difference between the July and January mean air temperatures. The difference between west and east in the annual amplitude of air temperature did not decrease during the Pleniglacial. The asymmetry of the glacial history suggests a progressive aridification of the Eurasian North, with the result that by marine isotope stage 2 significant ice volumes could only accumulate along the Atlantic seaboard. The different climatic signals of thermochrons and cryochrons of the extreme west and east of the continent are discussed. The growth of continentality eastwards restrains the applicability of pollen proxies for climatic reconstructions.     

土地利用变化的地形梯度特征与空间扩展——以北京市海淀区和延庆县为例

选择北京市海淀区、延庆县作为研究区,利用1992年、2002年遥感影像数据,借用地形位梯度指数,研究了土地利用变化的地形梯度特征及其空间扩展形势。研究表明:(1)海淀区建设用地受到经济和社会发展驱动明显,表现出既向低地形梯度位也向高地形梯度位扩展;但农业用地、果园因建设用地扩展受到挤压,表现为向更高地形位扩展态势;林地在高地形位得到了明显恢复,也有向更低的地形位扩张的趋势,但灌草地和未利用地在中高地形位受到林地挤压,低地形位受到农业用地、果园挤压,优势地形位明显萎缩;(2)延庆县建设用地扩展受地形位驱动作用明显,主要集中在低地形位区域;农业用地主要分布在较低地形位上,变化不大;果园在经济发展需求驱动下,向更高地形位扩展;林地在较高地形位得到较好恢复,对灌草地、未利用地产生了挤压作用,使得灌草地、未利用地在中高地形位的优势度降低,优势分布区间趋于萎缩。     

可控源音频大地电磁三维共轭梯度反演研究

可控源音频大地电磁法在资源勘探等领域中发挥着重要的作用.我们把有限差分数值模拟方法用于可控源音频大地电磁三维正演,结合正则化反演方案和共轭梯度反演的思路,将反演中的雅可比矩阵计算问题转为求解两次"拟正演"问题,得到模型参数的更新步长,形成反演迭代,实现了可控源音频大地电磁三维共轭梯度反演算法.该反演算法可用于对有限长度电偶源激发下采集到的可控源音频大地电磁全区(近区、过渡区和远区)视电阻率和相位资料进行三维反演定量解释,获得地下三维模型的电阻率结构.理论模型合成数据的反演算例验证了所实现的可控源音频大地电磁三维共轭梯度反演算法的有效性和稳定性.

两种塑料排水板滤膜淤堵特性试验研究

在水力梯度逐级递增的条件下,采用饱和软黏土进行了两种不同塑料排水板（PVD）滤膜（外包土工织物）梯度比试验,探讨两种PVD滤膜的淤堵特性,并结合真空预压软基加固的实际工况进行分析。试验结果显示,随着水力梯度的递增,一种表观孔径大的新工艺PVD滤膜的梯度比呈现先上升后下降的总趋势,并最终趋于稳定,常规PVD滤膜的梯度比总体呈上升趋势,无法趋于稳定。研究表明,不同水力梯度对滤膜淤堵有着较大影响,新工艺PVD滤膜在真空预压实际工况（水力梯度较高）下的防淤堵效果优于常规PVD滤膜。PVD滤膜的淤堵问题与滤膜制作工艺、孔径和软黏土性质有关,其淤堵机制仍需进一步的研究。

The effect of environmental factors on spatial variability in land use change in the high-sediment region of China’s Loess Plateau

In areas with topographic heterogeneity, land use change is spatially variable and influenced by climate, soil properties, and topography. To better understand this variability in the high-sediment region of the Loess Plateau in which soil loss is most severe and sediment diameter is larger than in other regions of the plateau, this study builds some indicators to identify the characteristics of land use change and then analyze the spatial variability as it is affected by climate, soil property, and topography. We build two indicators, a land use change intensity index and a vegetation change index, to characterize the intensity of land use change, and the degree of vegetation restoration, respectively. Based on a subsection mean method, the two indicators are then used to assess the spatial variability of land use change affected by climatic, edaphic, and topographic elements. The results indicate that： 1） Land use changed significantly in the period 1998-2010. The total area experiencing land use change was 42,302 km2, accounting for 22.57%of the study area. High-coverage grassland, other woodland, and forest increased significantly, while low-coverage grassland and farmland decreased in 2010 compared with 1998.2） Land use change occurred primarily west of the Yellow River, between 35 and 38 degrees north latitude. The four transformation types, including （a） low-coverage grassland to medium-coverage grassland, （b） medium-coverage grassland to high-coverage grassland, （c） farmland to other woodland, and （d） farmland to medium-coverage grassland, were the primary types of land use change, together constituting 60% of the area experiencing land use change. 3） The spatial variability of land use change was significantly affected by properties of dryness/wetness, soil conditions and slope gradient. In general, land use changed dramatically in semi-arid regions, remained relatively stable in arid regions, changed significantly in clay-rich soil, remained relatively stable in clay-poor soil, changed dramatically in steeper slopes, and remained relatively stable in tablelands and low-lying regions. The increase in vegetation coincided with increasing changes in land use for each physical element. These findings allow for an evaluation of the effect of the Grain to Green Program, and are applicable to the design of soil and water conservation projects on the Loess Plateau of China.     

Numerical partitioning of components for four-modal sedimentary grain-size distribution based on gradient descent method

The gradient descent(GD)method is used to fit the measured data(i.e.,the laser grain-size distribution of the sediments)with a sum of four weighted lognormal functions.The method is calibrated by a series of ideal numerical experiments.The numerical results indicate that the GD method not only is easy to operate but also could effectively optimize the parameters of the fitting function with the error decreasing steadily.The method is applied to numerical partitioning of laser grain-size components of a series of Garzêloess samples and three bottom sedimentary samples of submarine turbidity currents modeled in an open channel laboratory flume.The overall fitting results are satisfactory.As a new approach of data fitting,the GD method could also be adapted to solve other optimization problems.     

高围压下砂土的渗透特性试验研究

利用高压三轴渗透试验系统,对某矿区深部的粗砂和细砂进行了高围压条件下的渗透试验。研究了同一水力梯度下渗透系数与围压的关系;同一围压下渗透系数与渗透水力梯度的关系;同一水力梯度下,围压逐级加载的渗透系数与一次加载的渗透系数之间的差别。结果表明,粗砂和细砂在同一水力梯度下渗透系数均随围压的增大而逐渐减小,在同一围压下,渗透系数会随渗透水力梯度的增大而逐渐增大;同一水力梯度下,围压逐级加载下的渗透系数明显小于一次加载条件下的渗透系数。根据围压与渗透系数的关系拟合出了两种砂样渗透系数与围压关系的数学表达式。为探究高围压下渗透系数变化的原因,研究了砂样试验过程中的体积变化和试验前后的粒度成分变化。结果表明,围压的施加过程伴随着试样的体积减小,相应的孔隙度减小,渗透系数降低;高围压条件下,砂土颗粒被挤碎成细颗粒,使得砂土的细粒含量增多,孔隙度减小,导致了砂土渗透系数的降低。
