The 10th International Symposium on Permafrost Engineering——Challenge and adaption of permafrost engineering to a changing climate

Permafrost engineering has been developing rapidly in recent years. Many projects have been undertaken with the latest technologies and show their importance in supporting regional social and economical development. For example, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has been a milestone project in permafrost engineering. However, when designing and building infrastructures in cold regions,     

许家印卖“水”

正只许成功,不许失败"。许家印又喊出了这句话。只是这一次,让他信誓旦旦的不是已经亚洲无敌的广州恒大俱乐部,而是一瓶小小的矿泉水。自从恒大冰泉在亚冠决赛上亮相,许多人的神经立刻绷紧了。割据四方的水企巨头们,开始打量这位虎视眈眈的     

Water chemistry and hydrometeorology in a glacierized catchment in the Polar Urals,Russia

This study aims to determine the relationships between local meteorological conditions,proglacial river discharge and biogeochemical processes operating in a periglacial basin located in the Polar Ural mountain range, Russia. Fieldwork was conducted in the catchment of Obruchev Glacier(13 km2) during the summer peak flow period in 2008. River discharge was dominated by snowmelt and changed from 3300 l s-1 to less than 1000 l s-1. The mean daily air temperatures of stations situated in the mountain tundra and near Obruchev Glacier from July 11 th to August 1st 2008 were 14.4°C and 10.3°C, respectively. The glacial river had low total dissolved solids varying from 4.5 to 9 mg l-1 and coefficients of correlation between Na+ and Cl-, K+ and Cl-, as well as NH4+ and Cl- were 0.94, 0.90 and 0.84, respectively. Rainfall events affected the snowmelt initiation and provided an essential part of the discharge during the intense snowmelt period, which occurred from July 11 th to July 18 th 2008. Data showed that Na+ and K+ in the surface water derived from snowmelt rather than chemical weathering of silicates. Also, it was obtained that NO3- derived from the melting snowpack, whereas ammonification occurring under the snowpacks was the primary source for NH4+.     

帕米尔深处的神秘黑冰川

横亘于我国西部的昆仑山,自古以来就有“万山之宗,龙脉之诅”的美誉。这里还是传说中西王母的“瑶池”。在昆仑山的西段,帕米尔的深处,有一个荟萃了无数美丽传说的神秘之域,她,就是奥依塔克冰川地质公园。     

青藏高原冰川年均减少131．4平方公里

中国地质调查局青藏高原生态地质环境遥感调查与监钡4成果显示,近30年来青藏高原冰川年均减少131.4平方公里,而且有加速消减的趋势。在不考虑全球气候加速变暖的前提下,预计到2050年青藏高原冰川面积将减少到现有面积的72％．2090年将减少到现有面积的50％。     

李四光的地质人生

1902年的一天,湖北省城武昌。有位14岁的黄冈少年,怀揣研读西学、留洋深造的梦想离开家乡,兴冲冲地来到一所只要交了钱就可报考的高等小学堂。他花钱买了一张报名单,不假思索地在姓名栏上端端正正地写了两个字：“十四”。     

南极冰川正在高速流失

由日本宇宙航空研究开发机构和美国航天局科学家组成的研究小组近日发现,南极冰川正在高速流失,部分冰川正以每天4～5 m的速度流入海中。     

冻土抗拉强度与冻温及含水率关系的试验研究

通过用CBR-l型承载比试验仪实测不同冻结温度和不同含水率下冻土的强度,建立了抗拉强度与冻结温度和含水率关系的数学模型,并进行了科学的分析,找出之间变化的规律：含水率在14％-25％且一定时,温度在0℃— -20℃内抗拉强度随着冻结温度的降低而逐渐增加,在-20℃达到抗拉强度最大值;而冻结温度在-20℃以下,抗拉强度随...     

天山乌鲁木齐河流域冰川地貌与冰期研究的回顾与展望

乌鲁木齐河源于天山北列喀拉乌成山的北坡,区内保存着形态多样、较为清晰的第四纪冰川侵蚀与沉积地形.经过老中青数代人的考察研究,取得如下研究成果:1)查清了河源区冰川地形的分布与特征,运用冰川沉积学与地貌地层学原理对乌鲁木齐河出山口处的扇形地进行了冰川与非冰川成因的鉴别;2)基于地衣法、常规14 C与AMS14 C、TL、ESR、CRN(10Be)等多种定年方法的测年结果,并结合地貌地层学原理,建立了乌鲁木齐河流域小冰期、新冰期、末次冰期(MIS 2～4)、MIS 6与MIS12较完整的冰川演化序列,为我国第四纪冰川研究树立了一个典型范例.展望未来,乌鲁木齐河源区的冰川地貌演化模拟与古环境重建等需作进一步研究,喀拉乌成山南坡的冰川地形有待进行综合定年;若以乌鲁木齐河源流域冰期序列为参照,冰川发育与天山的构造抬升以及东、中与西段天山冰川发育是否具有一致性,天山地区是否保存有更老冰碛等科学问题尚待深入探讨.     

多年冻土区矿山开采研究现状及展望

多年冻土区蕴藏着丰富的矿产资源,矿业开发已成为多年冻土区经济发展的主要产业之一.但是,在其开采过程将不可避免地受到冻土的影响,也造成多年冻土区生态环境恶化的影响.在西部大开发的进程中,能源需求量逐渐增加,而多年冻土区矿山露天开采量逐渐减少,开展多年冻土区矿山地下开采相关的研究工作显得尤为迫切.在分析和总结前人研究成果的...
