祁连山老虎沟12号冰川冰下形态特征分析

利用探地雷达对老虎沟12号冰川进行了多个剖面观测,分析了雷达图像反映的冰川内部特征.结果表明通过分析雷达图像中的纹理和位置,雷达波形的振幅和极性变化等信息能够有效的辅助识别冰川内部介质的变化界面位置和估算其规模.在老虎沟12号冰川的部分剖面内部存在冰内空洞、冰内融水空洞、冰下裂隙、冰下河等地貌形态,在冰岩界面和冰川边缘存在规模不等的碎屑层.这说明即使在典型的大陆型冰川,冰川内部结构也可能较为复杂,在冰岩界面处可能存在较强的冰川作用.     

天山乌鲁木齐河源1号冰川消融对气候变化的响应

Current glacier recession under the global warming has aroused world-wide attention.Initiated from 1958,the observations show that over the past 50 years,the glacier has changed remarkably in the aspects of snow-firn stratigraphy,ice formation zone,ice temperature,area and terminus position,etc.These changes are apparently the results of temperature rise in this area.The glacier recession continued throughout the entire observed time period,and showed an accelerated tendency since 1985.Meltwater runoff also increased 84.2% over the last 20 years.     

Melt season hydrological characteristics of the Parlung No. 4 Glacier,in Gangrigabu Mountains,south‐east Tibetan Plateau

With global warming, hazards relating to glacial melt, such as glacial lake outburst floods, are becoming progressively more serious. However, glacial melt processes and their hydrological consequences are very poorly understood. This study collected glacier discharge data from the terminus of the Parlung No. 4 Glacier throughout the melt season (May–October) during 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012 to study its specific hydrological characteristics. Time series and multivariate regression analyses were employed to investigate the relationships between discharge and meteorological factors involved, as well as their correlation to discharge estimations. The 0‐ to 3‐day time series analysis showed that discharge rates were highly autocorrelated and that discharge was significantly positively correlated to air temperature, vapour pressure and daily incoming shortwave radiation as well as weakly positively correlated to precipitation. A multiple‐regression exponential model using the independent variables of the daily mean temperature and the vapour pressure exclusively was applied to simulate daily discharge in the basin with a high degree of accuracy. On average, July yielded the maximum monthly mean discharge, followed by August. Discharge in July and August accounted for 53% of the total discharge during the main melt season. The daily cycle of discharge changed as the melt season progressed, reflecting hydrological processes and characteristics of snow melt and glacier ice/snow melt, as well as their transitional periods. Subsequently, regular variations in the characteristics of the diurnal cycle of discharge, storage and delay were observed as the melt season progressed. In addition, the reasons behind the inter‐annual variation in the characteristics of discharge and glacier discharge from the Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding areas are compared and discussed.

Study on diversity and temporal-spatial characteristics of eukaryotic microorganisms on Glacier No.1 at the Urumqi River Head, Tianshan

Surface snow samples of different altitudes and snow pit samples were collected from Glacier No.1 at the Urumqi River Head, Tianshan. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was used to examine the diversity and temporal-spatial characteristics of eukaryotic microorganisms with different altitudes and depths. Results show that the eukaryotic microorganisms belong to four kingdoms—Viridiplantae, Fungi, Amoebozoa, and Alveolata. Among them, algae (especially Chlamydomonadales) were the dominant group. The diversity of eukaryotic microorganisms was negatively correlated with altitude and accumulation time, but positively correlated with δ¹⁸O values. These results indicate that temperature is the main factor for the temporal- spatial change of eukaryotic microorganisms, and the diversity of eukaryotic microorganisms could be an index for climate and environmental change.     

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Recovery from Human Urine by Struvite Precipitation and Air Stripping in Vietnam

A “No Mix” sanitation system was installed in a dormitory at the University of CanTho in South Vietnam, with the objective of recycling nutrients from source separated wastewater streams. This paper presents the “Yellow Water” treatment plant and its efficiency in recovering phosphorus and nitrogen from human urine. The pilot plant achieved phosphorus removal efficiencies of 98% with both diluted and undiluted urine. Phosphorus was recovered in the form of struvite, a solid mineral fertilizer with heavy metal concentrations being below the German Fertilizer Regulation's threshold limits. About 110 g of struvite could be generated after one treatment cycle, during which 50 L of urine were processed. Nitrogen removal by air stripping showed best results when circulating the urine for 3 h through the stripping column at a high flow rate (80 L/h). With these settings, more than 90% of the nitrogen could be removed from the urine, and virtually 100% of this nitrogen could be recovered in the form of liquid ammonium sulfate. In the future, treatment costs could be further reduced by making use of the solar energy that is available during daytime in South Vietnam.     

粤北302铀矿床围岩蚀变的地球化学特征和成因研究

以粤北302铀矿床ZK23-2钻孔为研究对象,通过显微镜下薄片鉴定、岩石地球化学和流体包裹体分析等对该矿床的围岩蚀变进行研究。结果表明,302矿床蚀变种类繁多,蚀变类型主要有:碱性长石化、硅化、绢云母化、红化、绿泥石化、绿(褐)帘石化、碳酸盐化、高岭石化等。矿床表现出明显的垂直分带和水平分带特征。从上至下,将ZK23-2划分为4个蚀变带:红化、绢云母化带→硅化、红化、强绢云母化带(铀富集带)→绿泥石化、绢云母化带→弱蚀变或正常花岗岩带。岩石的主量元素、微量元素和稀土元素均规律变化,微量元素分布模式和稀土元素配分模式均与赋矿围岩长江岩体的趋势一致,说明蚀变作用对它们的影响小,致使蚀变岩石基本保持原岩的地球化学特征。各蚀变带包裹体的均一温度均低于220℃,属于中低温热液,惰性气体N2在各蚀变带包裹体中普遍存在,强蚀变带的包裹体气相成分中均含CO2,表明在铀矿的形成过程中,铀的溶解、迁移以及富集成矿作用与CO2气体密切相关并发生在N2环境中。此外,成矿期脉石矿物包裹体的均一温度和压力为正相关的平滑曲线,表明围岩蚀变的分带特征主要是由成矿热液流体的混合作用引起的。

Mechanisms and Simulation of Accelerated Shrinkage of Continental Glaciers: A Case Study of Urumqi Glacier No. 1 in Eastern Tianshan, Central Asia

Similar to most mountain glaciers in the world, Urumqi Glacier No. 1 (UG1), the best observed glacier in China with continued glaciological and climatological monitoring records of longer than 50 years has experienced an accelerated recession during the past several decades. The purpose of this study is to investigate the acceleration of recession. By taking UG1 as an example, we analyze the generic mechanisms of acceleration of shrinkage of continental mountain glaciers. The results indicate that the accel...
