U-Series Chronology of Lacustrine Deposits in Death Valley, California

Uranium-series dating on a 186-m core (DV93-1) drilled from Badwater Basin in Death Valley, California, and on calcareous tufas from nearby strandlines shows that Lake Manly, the lake that periodically flooded Death Valley during the late Pleistocene, experienced large fluctuations in depth and chemistry over the last 200,000 yr. Death Valley has been occupied by a long-standing deep lake, perennial shallow saline lakes, and a desiccated salt pan similar to the modern valley floor. The average sedimentation rate of about 1 mm/yr for core DV93-1 was punctuated by episodes of more-rapid accumulation of halite. Arid conditions similar to the modern conditions prevailed during the entire Holocene and between 120,000 and 60,000 yr B.P. From 35,000 yr B.P. to the beginning of the Holocene, a perennial saline lake existed, over 70 m at its deepest. A much deeper and longer lasting perennial Lake Manly existed from about 185,000 to 128,000 yr B.P., with water depths reaching about 175 m, if not 330 m. This lake had two significant “dry” excursions of 10²–10³yr duration about 166,000 and 146,000 yr B.P., and it began to shrink to the point of halite precipitation between 128,000 and 120,000 yr B.P. The two perennial lake periods correspond to marine oxygen isotopic stages (OIS) 2 and 6. Based on the shoreline tufa ages, we do not rule out the possible existence 200,000 yr ago of yet a third perennial lake comparable in size to the OIS 6 lake. The²³⁴U/²³⁸U data suggest that U in tufa owes its origin mainly to Ca-rich springs fed by groundwater that emanated along lake shorelines in southern Death Valley, and that an increase of this spring-water input relative to the river-water input apparently occurred during OIS 6.     

暴雨内涝情景下城市消防服务可达性的精细化评估

为了揭示城市暴雨内涝灾害对应急响应服务功能的影响,论文基于高精度城市洪涝模型(FloodMap)和增强型两步移动搜寻法(E2SFCA),对暴雨内涝灾害影响下上海市中心城区消防服务可达性进行精细化评估。研究结果表明：① 百年一遇暴雨内涝情景下,内涝最严重时积水深度超过50 cm的淹没范围整体呈现“西高东低”分布态势,淹没总面积约1.5 km²,可导致471条路段(约占路网全长5.11%)通行受阻。② 上海市中心城区消防服务可达性的空间差异比较显著,大体呈现出由黄浦江两岸向西北和东南方向递减态势,但在一天中的不同时段,可达性空间格局变化并不明显。③ 与正常天气条件相比,暴雨内涝情景下不可达单元(250 m×250 m)数量显著增多,夜间低峰、早高峰、白天平峰和晚高峰时段分别增加36.32%、35.89%、39.07%和32.01%;从暴雨内涝的过程(全程120 min)上看,在雨峰后半段((30, 45] min)不可达单元数量最多,消防服务可达性的空间差异程度最大。④ 消防服务可达性表现出一定程度的空间集聚特征,其中高值聚集区(“高—高”型)主要位于黄浦江两岸以及浦西边缘地区,低值聚集区(“低—低”型)主要位于西北和西南区域,这2类聚集区呈“团块状”分布,而“高—低”型和“低—高”型集聚均不显著。⑤ 研究区内消防服务可达性与需求的空间失配现象(“低需求—高可达”或“高需求—低可达”)较为明显,而暴雨内涝会加剧空间失配问题。研究结果可为提升城市洪涝灾害管理与应急响应服务的精细化水平提供科学依据。     

城市暴雨内涝综述：特征、机理、数据与方法

建成环境的高空间异质性与致灾过程的复杂性给城市暴雨内涝研究带来巨大的挑战,具体表现为模型代表性不够、计算效率低、基础数据和验证数据匮乏。以机器学习为代表的人工智能技术、高分遥感和互联网大数据的快速发展则为城市暴雨内涝研究提供了新的契机。论文结合人工智能、高分遥感和互联网大数据等新技术发展,从特征、机理、数据与方法4个维度对暴雨内涝的研究现状和发展趋势进行了系统总结,主要结论包括：① 暴雨内涝具有短历时性、空间散布性、连锁性和突变性,其热点呈现空间上的动态迁移特征。② 降雨时空特征和城市化程度决定暴雨内涝灾害的量级,地形条件尤其是微地形则决定发生位置和内涝频率。地形控制作用指数(topographic control index, TCI)对暴雨内涝发生位置具有良好的指示能力。③ 排水管网、高精度地形和不透水面分布是暴雨内涝模拟的关键基础数据;降雨过程的高时空变异性是暴雨内涝近实时预报预警的主要瓶颈,需要充分利用天气雷达观测提高其精准度;互联网众包大数据是获取高空间覆盖度暴雨内涝灾情信息的新途径,但也面临不同类型信息融合、提炼和质量控制的挑战。④ 结合水动力模拟与机器学习可建立兼具物理基础和计算效率的暴雨内涝模拟方法,是实现近实时模拟与快速预报预警的有效途径。     

Did Lake Manly overflow at Ash Hill?

Near Ash Hill in the Mojave Desert, California, there is an impressive channel that is cut in bedrock. The channel is in a pass through which Lake Manly, the pluvial lake that occupied Death Valley, could have overflowed. Indeed, the channel has been attributed to such overflow. The pass, however, is 500 m above the highest shorelines of Lake Manly in Death Valley, and evidence from cores from dry lakes on either side of the pass does not support the overflow hypothesis. Despite its size, new field observations suggest that the channel was actually eroded by local runoff. Water from several tributaries collects into a single channel at this point, and the resulting discharge is apparently sufficient to cause retreat of a knickpoint from the downstream edge of the basalt flow into which the channel is cut. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Investigating potential future changes in surface water flooding hazard and impact

Surface water flooding (SWF) is a recurrent hazard that affects lives and livelihoods. Climate change is projected to change the frequency of extreme rainfall events that can lead to SWF. Increasingly, data from Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are being used to investigate the potential water-related impacts of climate change; such assessments often focus on broad-scale fluvial flooding and the use of coarse resolution (>12 km) RCMs. However, high-resolution (<4 km) convection-permitting RCMs are now becoming available that allow impact assessments of more localised SWF to be made. At the same time, there has been an increasing demand for more robust and timely real-time forecast and alert information on SWF. In the UK, a real-time SWF Hazard Impact Model framework has been developed. The system uses 1-km gridded surface runoff estimates from a hydrological model to simulate the SWF hazard. These are linked to detailed inundation model outputs through an Impact Library to assess impacts on property, people, transport, and infrastructure for four severity levels. Here, a set of high-resolution (1.5 km and 12 km) RCM data has been used as input to a grid-based hydrological model over southern Britain to simulate Current (1996–2009) and Future (~2100s; RCP8.5) surface runoff. Counts of threshold-exceedance for surface runoff and precipitation (at 1-, 3- and 6-hr durations) are analysed. Results show that the percentage increases in surface runoff extremes, are less than those of precipitation extremes. The higher-resolution RCM simulates the largest percentage increases, which occur in winter, and the winter exceedance counts are greater than summer exceedance counts. For property impacts, the largest percentage increases are also in winter; however, it is the 12-km RCM output that leads to the largest percentage increase in impacts. The added-value of high-resolution climate model data for hydrological modelling is from capturing the more intense convective storms in surface runoff estimates.

Temporal correspondence between pluvial lake highstands in the southwestern US and Heinrich Event 1

Pluvial lakes were abundant in the southwestern United States during Pleistocene glaciations, particularly in the Great Basin. Many of these lakes occupied closed basins; therefore, fluctuations of their water surface elevations are valuable sources of paleoclimate information. Histories of the largest lakes are well constrained, whereas dozens of smaller lakes that were present in this region have received relatively little scientific attention. Given their dimensions, these smaller lakes were climatically sensitive and can offer important information about Quaternary climate variability. Here we present new ages for the highstands of three previously undated small lakes based on radiocarbon dating of gastropod shells recovered from beach ridges. These results are combined with other published and unpublished ¹⁴C ages to yield an extensive compilation of highstand shoreline ages for lakes of all sizes throughout the southwestern US. The results indicate that although some lakes reached highstands during the Last Glacial Maximum, the strongest temporal correspondence is between highstands and Heinrich Event H1. These results are consistent with speleothem‐based reconstructions of effective moisture in the southwestern US, which show increased precipitation during stadials of the last glacial cycle.

A 16,000 C yr B.P. packrat midden series from the USA–Mexico Borderlands

A new packrat midden chronology from Playas Valley, southwestern New Mexico, is the first installment of an ongoing effort to reconstruct paleovegetation and paleoclimate in the U.S.A.–Mexico Borderlands. Playas Valley and neighboring basins supported pluvial lakes during full and/or late glacial times. Plant macrofossil and pollen assemblages from nine middens in the Playas Valley allow comparisons of two time intervals: 16,000–10,000 and 4000–0 ¹⁴C yr B.P. Vegetation along pluvial lake margins consisted of open pinyon–juniper communities dominated by Pinus edulis, Juniperus scopulorum, Juniperus cf. coahuilensis, and a rich understory of C₄ annuals and grasses. This summer-flowering understory is also characteristic of modern desert grassland in the Borderlands and indicates at least moderate summer precipitation. P. edulis and J. scopulorum disappeared or were rare in the midden record by 10,670 ¹⁴C yr B.P. The late Holocene is marked by the arrival of Chihuahuan desert scrub elements and few departures as the vegetation gradually became modern in character. Larrea tridentata appears as late as 2190 ¹⁴C yr B.P. based on macrofossils, but may have been present as early as 4095 ¹⁴C yr B.P. based on pollen. Fouquieria splendens, one of the dominant desert species present at the site today, makes its first appearance only in the last millennium. The midden pollen assemblages are difficult to interpret; they lack modern analogs in surface pollen assemblages from stock tanks at different elevations in the Borderlands.
