    查看更多>>摘要:Glacier dynamics in the Himalayan mid-latitudes,particularly in regions like the Shishapangma,are not yet fully understood,especially the localized topographic and climatic impacts on glacier deformation.This study analyzes the spatiotemporal characteristics of glacier surface deformation in the Shishapangma region using the Small Baseline Subset(SBAS)Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar(InSAR)technique.The analysis reveals an average deformation rate of-4.02±17.65 mm/yr across the entire study area,with glacier regions exhibiting significantly higher rates of uplift(16.87±13.20 mm/yr)and subsidence(20.11±14.55 mm/yr)compared to non-glacier areas.It identifies significant surface lowering on the mountain flanks and localized uplift in certain catchments,emphasizing the higher deformation rates in glacial areas compared to non-glacial ones.We found a strong positive correlation between temperature and cumulative deformation(correlation coefficient of 0.63),particularly in glacier areas(0.82).The research highlights the role of temperature as the primary driver of glacier wastage,particularly at lower elevations,with strong correlations found between temperature and cumulative deformation.It also indicates the complex interactions between topographic features,notably,slope gradient,which shows a positive correlation with subsidence rates,especially for slopes below 35°.South-,southwest-,and west-facing slopes exhibit significant uplift,while north-,northeast-,and east-facing slopes predominantly subside.Additionally,we identified transition zones between debris-covered glaciers and clean ice as areas of most intense deformation,with average rates exceeding 30 mm/yr,highlighting these as potential high-risk zones for geohazards.This study comprehensively analyzes the deformation characteristics in both glacier and non-glacier areas in the Shishapangma region,revealing the complex interplay of topographic,climatic,and hydrological factors influencing glacier dynamics.

    查看更多>>摘要:Surface-latent heat(LE)and sensible heat(SH)fluxes play a pivotal role in governing hydrological,biological,geochemical,and ecological processes on the land surface in the Tibetan Plateau.However,to accurately assess and understand the spatial distribution of LE and SH fluxes across different underlying surfaces,it is crucial to verify the validity and reliability of ERA-5,GLDAS,and MODIS data against ground measurements obtained from the FluxNet micrometeorological tower network.This study analyzed the spatial patterns of LE and SH over the Tibetan Plateau using data from ERA-5,GLDAS,and MODIS.The results were compared with ground measurements from FluxNet tower observations on different underlying surfaces,and five statistical parameters(Pearson's r,LR slope,RMSE,MBE,and MAE)were used to validate the data.The results showed that:(1)MODIS LE data and ERA-5 SH data exhibited the closest agreement with ground observations,as indicated by their lowest root mean square error and mean bias area values.(2)The accuracy of ERA-5 SH was the highest in meadows and steppes,while GLDAS SH performed optimally in shrublands.Notably,MODIS LE consistently outperformed the other datasets across all vegetation types.(3)The spatial distribution of LE and SH displayed considerable heterogeneity,contingent upon the specific data sources and underlying surfaces.Notably,there was a contrasting trend between GLDAS and ERA-5,as well as MODIS,in terms of SH distribution in the shrubland.In shrublands and meadows,MODIS SH and LE exhibited more pronounced changes than ERA-5 and GLDAS.Additionally,ERA-5 SH demonstrated the opposite variation in meadow and steppe regions compared to GLDAS and MODIS.

    查看更多>>摘要:A fault is a geological structure characterized by significant displacement of rock masses along a fault plane within the Earth's crust.The Yunnan Tabaiyi Tunnel intersects multiple fault zones,making tunnel construction in fault-prone areas particularly vulnerable to the effects of fault activity due to the complexities of the surrounding geological environment.To investigate the dynamic response characteristics of tunnel structures under varying surrounding rock conditions,a three-dimensional large-scale shaking table physical model test was conducted.This study also aimed to explore the damage mechanisms associated with the Tabaiyi Tunnel under seismic loading.The results demonstrate that poor quality surrounding rock enhances the seismic response of the tunnel.This effect is primarily attributed to the distribution characteristics of acceleration,dynamic strain,and dynamic soil pressure.A comparison between unidirectional and multi-directional(including vertical)seismic motions reveals that vertical seismic motion has a more significant impact on specific tunnel locations.Specifically,the maximum tensile stress is observed at the arch shoulder,with values ranging from 60 to 100 kPa.Moreover,NPR(Non-Prestressed Reinforced)anchor cables exhibit a substantial constant resistance effect under low-amplitude seismic waves.However,when the input earthquake amplitude reaches 0.8g,local sliding occurs at the arch shoulder region of the NPR anchor cable.These findings underscore the importance of focusing on seismic mitigation measures in fault zones and reinforcing critical areas,such as the arch shoulders,in practical engineering applications.

    查看更多>>摘要:Drainage divide migration refers to the shifting boundaries between adjacent drainage basins over time,driven by processes such as tectonic uplift,differential erosion,stream capture,and lithological variations.This phenomenon has a significant impact on water flow patterns and basin extents,serving as an indicator of the landscape's response to active tectonic forces.One of the key drivers of divide migration is asymmetric uplift,which causes divides to shift from areas of lower uplift to regions experiencing higher uplift.Drainage divides are inherently dynamic,evolving over time as drainage networks develop and adjust to changing conditions.This study focuses on the migration of the main drainage divide along Karıncalıdağ,located between Bozdoğan and Karacasu.It employs geomorphic analyses using metrics such as the normalized steepness index(ksn),Chi(x),and Gilbert metrics.The main divide is categorized into four segments(D1-D4),with the Karacasu Fault,situated along the mountain's north-eastern boundary,identified as the primary factor influencing divide dynamics.Secondary factors include the relatively low elevation of Karıncalıdağ,uniform lithology,and consistent rainfall patterns across the region.The results indicate that the main divide is currently stable,suggesting a balance between uplift and erosion.However,higher x values in the D4 segment suggest that future erosion may dominate,potentially causing the divide to migrate toward the Bozdoğan Basin.These findings highlight the dynamic nature of drainage divides and the complex interplay of tectonic,erosional,and lithological processes that shape their evolution.Continued monitoring and advanced geomorphic analysis are essential for understanding the long-term stability of the divide and its response to future tectonic activity and erosional modifications.
