若尔盖沼泽湿地的萎缩机制

1960年以来,若尔盖沼泽湿地的快速萎缩严重影响黄河上游水量补给和当地湿地生态系统,但其机制尚不清晰。基于2010—2013年野外调查、气象水文资料和遥感影像,分析若尔盖沼泽退化的主要原因与机制。尽管气温的缓慢升高,但降水量并未减少,考虑到沼泽的季节性特征,气候变暖对沼泽萎缩影响相当有限,但不是主要原因。经遥感判读和统计,共识别现有920 km的人工渠道,其疏干的沼泽面积约648.3 km2,占总萎缩面积的27%。人工开渠作为强烈的人类活动干扰,是若尔盖沼泽快速萎缩的重要原因。自然水系的溯源侵蚀长期疏干沼泽、降低地下水水位和放射状地向沼泽内部切穿是沼泽萎缩的重要机制。人工开渠连通自然水系强化沼泽内河床下切和排水作用。     

Minimum Bedrock Exposure Ages and Their Implications: Larsemann Hills and Neighboring Bolingen Islands, East Antarctica

<正>Considerable controversy exists over whether or not extensive glaciation occurred during the global Last Glacial Maximum(LGM) in the Larsemann Hills.In this study we use the in situ produced cosmogenic nuclide ~(10)Be(half life 1.51 Ma) to provide minimum exposure ages for six bedrock samples and one erratic boulder in order to determine the last period of deglaciation in the Larsemann Hills and on the neighboring Bolingen Islands.Three bedrock samples taken from Friendship Mountain(the highest peak on the Mirror Peninsula,Larsemann Hills;～2 km from the ice sheet) have minimum exposure ages ranging from 40.0 to 44.7 ka.The erratic boulder from Peak 106(just at the edge of the ice sheet) has a younger minimum exposure age of only 8.8 ka.The minimum exposure ages for two bedrock samples from Blundell Peak(the highest peak on Stornes Peninsula,Larsemann Hills;～2 km from the ice sheet) are about 17 and 18 ka.On the Bolingen Islands(southwest to the Larsemann Hills;～10 km from the ice sheet),the minimum exposure age for one bedrock sample is similar to that at Friendship Mountain(i.e.,44 ka).Our results indicate that the bedrock exposure in the Larsemann Hills and on the neighboring Bolingen Islands commenced obviously before the global LGM(i.e.,20-22 ka),and the bedrock erosion rates at the Antarctic coast areas may be obviously higher than in the interior land.     

土壤侵蚀的中子活化示踪法研究

利用中子活化示踪法研究坡面土壤的侵蚀过程,发现坡面的相对侵蚀量从坡脚到坡顶随坡长的变化符合Weibull分布,其形状参数主要受降雨量、降雨历时和径流深度的影响,尺度参数主要与平均雨强、I₃₀相关.坡面在侵蚀的同时也发生沉积,一般来说短历时高强度的降雨沉积量较小,而长历时低强度的降雨沉积量较大,某一部位侵蚀产沙的沉积量与其距离之间有y=axb的关系.坡面径流直接影响着坡面的输移比,当径流深和径流系数较高时,输移比接近于1,否则输移比降低.     

振动导致黄河口粉质土性质与起动流速的变化

通过现场试验,研究模拟波浪振动导致的黄河口海床表层粉质土重度与强度的变化;通过室内试验,研究了黄河口海床土重度、强度、中值粒径、起动流速随振动能量的变化;将起动流速的试验测试结果与代表性经验公式计算值进行了比较。发现振动导致黄河口粉质土物理力学指标呈现周期性的变化,进而引起起动流速相应的变化;起动流速不仅与土体重度、粒径、强度有关,还与土体承受的波浪荷载振动能量有密切关系;起动流速经验公式计算结果与试验测试值不吻合。

煤层气径向钻井压耗计算与井口压力预测

对煤层气径向钻井过程中钻井管柱系统压耗和高压水射流破岩机理进行分析,列出了钻井管柱系统各部分磨阻系数的计算公式和喷嘴射流动力公式。通过理论分析与室内试验,提出了煤的水力冲击破碎压力与其物理力学参数之间的关系式,以及水力冲蚀速度与无因次冲击压力之间的关系。结果表明：通过加权平均值法计算得到的临界破碎压力与实际值吻合良好;在3~8倍临界破碎压力下,冲蚀速度约为无因次冲击压力的0.4倍。根据文中压力预测步骤,对现场作业进行压力预测,得到的井口压力预测结果比实际施工压力低3~5 MPa。     

硫酸侵蚀下水泥土的电阻率特性研究

通过室内试验模拟了水泥土试块受不同浓度硫酸（H2SO4）溶液侵蚀的过程,采用电阻率法研究了电阻率与各参数、无侧限抗压强度之间的关系。结果表明,受H2SO4侵蚀后,水泥土电阻率、孔隙水电阻率、水泥土抗压强度均随着溶液浓度的增加而减小,而水泥土的结构因子和重度均随着溶液浓度的增加而增加,水泥土抗压强度与水泥土电阻率成正比。在试验的基础上,考虑侵蚀因素对水泥土电阻率的影响,通过对Archie法则进行修正,得到了H2SO4侵蚀下水泥土电阻率模型。通过对无侧限抗压强度试验结果的分析,并结合试块表观变化,提出了利用电阻率来评价侵蚀程度的方法。

Geotechnical Hazards Associated with Desert Environment

The aridity of the Arabian Peninsula's deserts ranges between arid to hyperarid with hot dry climate, scarce precipitation and sparse vegetation. These harsh environmental conditions enhance some geomorphologic processes more than others, cause specific geotechnical problems, and increase desertification.From west to east, the general physiography of Saudi Arabia shows the Red Sea coastal plains and the escarpment foothills called Tihama followed by the Arabian Shield mountains, the Arabian Shelf plateau and finally the Arabian Gulf coastal plains. Sand moves by wind either as drifting sand or migrating dunes in four major sand seas, over the Arabian Shelf, and in the inter-mountain valleys, in the Arabian Shield causing problems of erosion and deposition. Human activities in the deserts may cause more instability to the sand bodies, enlarging the magnitude of the problem. Fine silty soil particles also move by wind, depositing loess mainly in selected areas downwind in the Tihama. These loess deposits subside and may form earth fissures by the process of hydrocompaction upon wetting. The addition of water can be either natural through storms or man-made through human agricultural or civil activities. Extensive sabkhas exist along the coastal plains of both the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf. The sabkha soil may also heave by salt re-crystallization or collapse by wetting. The shallow groundwater brines present in sabkhas also attack and corrode civil structures. Urbanization and excessive groundwater pumping may also deplete the fresh groundwater resources and may cause subsidence, ground fissuring and surface faulting as observed in some locations in the Arabian Shield. Although the average annual precipitation is very low, rain usually falls in the form of torrential storms, collected by dry valley basins and causing floods to unprotected downstream areas on the coastal plains of the Red Sea.The desert environment, being a fragile echo system, needs to be treated with care. Intercommunications between different national and international agencies and education of the layman should help to keep the system balanced and reduce the resulting environmental hazards. In addition, any suggested remedial measures should be planned with nature and engineered with natural materials.
