Pingos, or ice-cored mounds, are described for the first time from Antarctica and for the first time on ice-cored moraine. Seven pingos up to 4 m high and 12 m in diameter occur on former dering of lakes on the moraine exposes water-saturated sediments to freezing and consequent lake sediments on Flanders Moraine, Vestfold Hills, Antarctica (68°40'S 78°00'E). Lateral wandering formation of closed-system pingos. The pingos are probably only a few hundred years old. The apparent absence of pingo scars in the Southern Hemisphere may be due to lack of suitable substrates, rather than to unsuitable climatic conditions.  相似文献

Most pingos in the permafrost region of the high northern Tibetan Plateau form along active fault zones and many change position annually along the zones and thus appear to migrate. The fault zones conduct geothermal heat, which thins permafrost, and control cool to hot springs in the region. They maintain ground-water circulation through broken rock in an open system to supply water for pingo growth during the winter in overlying fluvial and lacustrian deposits. Springs remain after the pingos thaw in the summer. Fault movement, earthquakes and man's activities cause the water pathways supplying pingos to shift and consequently the pingos migrate.

The hazard posed to the new Golmud–Lhasa railway across the plateau by migrating pingos is restricted to active fault zones, but is serious, as these zones are common and generate large earthquakes. Pingos have damaged the highway and the oil pipeline adjacent to the railway since 2001. One caused tilting and breaking of a bridge pier and destroyed a highway bridge across the Chumaerhe fault. Another has already caused minor damage to a new railway bridge. Furthermore, the construction of a bridge pier in the North Wuli fault zone in July–August 2003 created a conduit for a new spring, which created a pingo during the following winter. Measures taken to drain the ground-water via a tunnel worked well and prevented damage before the railway tracks were laid. However, pier vibrations from subsequent train motion disrupted the drain and led to new springs, which may induce further pingo growth beneath the bridge.

The migrating pingos result from active fault movement promoting artesian ground-water circulation and changing water pathways under the seasonal temperature variations in the permafrost region. They pose a serious hazard to railway construction, which, in turn can further disturb the ground-water conduits and affect pingo migration.  相似文献

Small seasonal pingos formed in Quaternary deposits along active fault zones in permafrost of the northern Tibetan Plateau exert destructive forces to oil pipelines, bridges, culverts and other engineering facilities along the Golmud–Lhasa railway and highway. The pingos are particularly hazardous as they change position, or migrate, nearly every year. Three-dimensional finite element modeling reveals the enormous force from exerted by a pingo at the 86th station of the highway. A good representation of the stress and strain fields resulting from an expansion of a pingo and bending of an oil pipeline at the station are calculated after due consideration of the interaction between permafrost, pingo and pipeline. This followed establishing an engineering-geologic model from the field data and determining the mechanical properties of the media from field and laboratory tests. The maximum, intermediate and the minimal principal compressive stresses are calculated as well as those for the plastic strain. Concentrations of principal stress and plastic strain occur beneath the pipeline bend and both the principal compressive stress and resulting plastic strain become very small away from the pingo. Also, the bottom of the pingo is dominated by minimal values of principal stress and strain and the potential bending of a buried pipe caused by an expansion of a pingo is indicated to decrease as depth of burial increases.The pingo growth at the 86th station resulted in the bending upward of a 20m section of a buried oil pipeline, but it did not break and spill oil. Analysis of the pipe within the bend found the maximum, intermediate, and minimal principal compressive stress ranges that leads to plastic strain within the bent pipe. Compressive stress and plastic strain concentrations form in the inner sides of inflexions in the pipe bend, and tensional stress and plastic strain concentrations form in their outer sides where stress exceeds the yield limit of the pipe, but many irregularities are present. Such numerical modeling of stress and strain may offer key parameters for designing oil pipelines and engineered facilities to decrease the hazard from migrating pingos in similar geologic settings in the permafrost of the northern Tibetan Plateau.  相似文献

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (also referred to as the Plateau) is the largest area bearing alpine permafrost region in the world and thus is endowed with great formation conditions and prospecting potential of natural gas hydrates (NGH). Up to now, one NGH accumulation, two inferred NGH accumulations, and a series of NGH-related anomalous indicators have been discovered in the Plateau, with NGH resources predicted to be up to 8.88×1012 m3. The NGH in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have complex gas components and are dominated by deep thermogenic gas. They occur in the Permian-Jurassic strata and are subject to thin permafrost and sensitive to environment. Furthermore, they are distinctly different from the NGH in the high-latitude permafrost in the arctic regions and are more different from marine NGH. The formation of the NGH in the Plateau obviously couples with the uplift and permafrost evolution of the Plateau in spatial-temporal terms. The permafrost and NGH in the Qilian Mountains and the main body of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau possibly formed during 2.0–1.28 Ma BP and about 0.8 Ma BP, respectively. Under the context of global warming, the permafrost in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is continually degrading, which will lead to the changes in the stability of NGH. Therefore, The NGH of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau can not be ignored in the study of the global climate change and ecological environment.©2021 China Geology Editorial Office.  相似文献

青藏高原北部不冻泉移动冰丘及灾害效应   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
不冻泉移动冰丘发育于青藏高原北部常年冻土区断裂破碎带,2001年仅在青藏公路东南侧形成1个小型冰丘,2002年在青藏公路西北侧形成低矮冰丘群,2004-2005年发展成为大型冰丘群,2006年移动冰丘的发育高度和分布范围进一步增大。不冻泉移动冰丘不仅穿刺青藏公路路基,破坏青藏公路桥涵结构,蚕食青藏公路路堤,影响青藏公路的交通安全;而且导致输油管道拱曲变形,诱发地面塌陷和地裂缝,产生显著的灾害效应。采用适当的工程措施,通过地下疏导或地表排放沿断裂破碎带上涌的地下泉水,能够有效减轻或防治不冻泉移动冰丘的灾害效应。  相似文献

The Chippewa and Wisconsin Valley Lobes of the Laurentide Ice Sheet reached their maximum extent in north-central Wisconsin about 20 000 years ago. Their terminal positions are marked by a broad area of hummocky topography, containing many ice-walled-lake plains, which is bounded on the up-ice and down-ice sides by ice-contact ridges and outwash fans. The distribution of these ice-disintegration landforms shows that a wide zone of stagnant, debris-covered, debris-rich ice separated from the active margins of both lobes as they wasted northward during deglaciation. Accumulation of thick, uncollapsed sediment in ice-walled lakes high in the ice-cored landscape indicates a period of stability. In contrast, hummocky disintegration topography indicates unstable conditions. Thus, we interpret two phases of late-glacial landscape evolution. During the first phase, ice buried beneath thick supraglacial sediment was stable. Supraglacial lakes formed on the ice surface and some melted their way to solid ground and formed ice-walled lakes. During the second phase, buried ice began to melt rapidly, hummocky topography formed by topographic inversion, and supraglacial and ice-walled lakes drained. We suggest that ice wastage was controlled primarily by climatic conditions and supraglacial-debris thickness. Late-glacial permafrost in northern Wisconsin likely delayed wastage of buried ice until after about 13 000 years ago, when climate warmed and permafrost thawed.  相似文献

A thermokarst is a collapse feature resulting from the thawing of ice‐rich permafrost or of massive ice of various origins. Little attention has been paid to the sedimentary fabric resulting from this type of collapse, except for glaciotectonic features. In western Europe, two palaeo‐forms are commonly studied: lithalsas and ice‐wedge casts. Collapsed pingos are much rarer. Very few papers have compiled present‐day and fossil data. Here, field data collected from quarries in the eastern Paris Basin were analysed, providing useful records of thermokarst collapses in alluvial calcareous silts, sands, and gravels. These forms have a circular shape when viewed on satellite images. Permafrost is attested regionally by the recurrent occurrence of meter‐sized pattern grounds at the surface of the chalk and of ice‐wedge casts. Traces of segregation and reticulate ice are common. These features are primarily connected to a major interstadial, c. 150 ka BP, orbitally forced and commonly associated with a major glacial retreat. They occur both in drained and waterlogged situations, resulting in a specific pattern of deformation. They are controlled by the brittle and plastic behaviour of sediments and resemble passive glaciotectonism. Normal and reverse faults, with the offset decreasing downward, are common, and those with local shear are reported. Lithalsas, seasonal frost blisters, spring frost blisters and perhaps pingos seem to have formed. Most of these deformations correspond to thermokarst sinkholes bordered by gravitational collapse faults. The offset of these faults increases towards the surface, and the faults have been recurrently confused with neotectonism triggered by palaeo‐earthquakes. However, there are no faults beneath the observed deformation features, and the region lacks recorded seismic activity over the last century. Our data may be helpful in interpreting similar structures elsewhere.  相似文献

Permafrost covers a significant area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Slope instability problem in the region was often neglected, though it plays important roles in engineering construction and landform processes. In this paper, the slope instability phenomena in the permafrost regions on the plateau are discussed. The slope failures often occur in the forms of thaw-induced landslides and gelifluction. Thaw-induced landslides are closely related to active layer detachment and changes of permafrost conditions. Such landslides include retrogressive flow and thaw slump and are hazardous to engineering constructions. Gelifluction includes deep-seated movement and surface movement. It is an important factor in landform planation because it may spread over a large area and remain active for a long period of time.  相似文献

羌塘盆地是青藏高原最大的含油气盆地,多年冻土广泛分布,具备良好的天然气水合物形成条件和找矿前景。基于羌塘盆地天然气水合物钻探试验井资料,从影响天然气水合物成藏角度提出了羌塘盆地3种主要的冻土结构类型,其中由冻融层、含冰沉积物冻土层、含冰基岩冻土层、非含冰基岩冻土层所组成的冻土结构最为常见。研究表明,冻土层结构对天然气水合物温压条件具有一定影响,当非含冰基岩冻土层存在时,其下伏的非冻土层的孔隙流体压力与上部冻土层的微孔和微裂隙特征紧密相关,有利于浅层烃类气体的封存和水合物的成藏。含冰冻土层冰地球化学特征指示冻土层形成的过程是大气降雪融化成水后未经蒸发作用直接渗入地下,受气候变冷影响,地层由浅往深逐渐冻结形成。同时,矿化度和阴、阳离子浓度的高低在一定程度上反映了不同深度沉积物的物化性质。含冰冻土层对于浅层烃类气体封盖作用的定量评价显示,随着含冰饱和度的增加,甲烷气体渗透率降低,当含冰饱和度达到80%时,冻土层能完全有效地限制甲烷气体运移。由于在气候变暖因素的驱动下,冻土层不仅能通过温压条件来控制天然气水合物矿藏存在的空间范围,而且还限制着来自部分水合物分解所产生的烃类气体向浅部运移。因而推测,在青藏高原冻土区可能存在一个由断裂体系相关联的深部烃类储层、中部天然气水合物储层和浅部天然气藏组成的油气系统。  相似文献

214国道位于青藏高原的东缘,1985-2012年期间的冻土勘察和地温监测资料表明,在河卡山至清水河439 km范围内的高山、滩地和沼泽化草甸地区分布着不连续和岛状多年冻土,公路实际穿越的多年冻土段累计里程约232.4 km,沿线绝大部分路段的地温高于-1.5℃,含冰量、冻土上限等多年冻土特征指标随地形、地貌变化剧烈. 在分析上述资料的基础上,从冻土热稳定性和自然环境两个因素入手,采用突变级数法建立了多年冻土工程地质条件评价模型并对214国道多年冻土工程地质条件进行了定量评价. 结果表明:214国道沿线冻土热稳定性普遍较差,自然环境多处于一般状态. 除局部少冰、多冰冻土路段以外,沿线多年冻土工程地质条件总体处于较差或恶劣状态. 与214国道病害调查资料进行比较后发现,路基病害一般发生在工程地质条件差的路段. 这表明该评价结果比较准确的反映了沿线的多年冻土工程地质条件,对于现有214国道和新建共和-玉树高速公路的运营和维护具有重要的指导意义.  相似文献

冻土地下水系统不仅在寒区水文循环中扮演着重要的角色,同时也在寒区水文过程和地表过程及其科学研究中起到了集蓄、融冻和泄流等至关重要的作用。近几十年随着全球气候变暖及人类活动(寒区工程量)的增加,冻土退化趋势显著,这一过程改变了寒区的水文地质条件,导致地下水动态特征发生显著变化,从而引起一系列的生态环境变化。近些年,诸多学者通过构建水热耦合模型来研究冻土地下水的运动机理、分布状况和季节动态,促进了寒区地下水理论知识的发展,推动了寒区水文地质知识体系的进步。本文主要针对目前我国多年冻土区地下水的研究现状进行了分析、整理、归纳,为进一步研究气候变化下地下水系统的发展与演变,以及对生态环境的影响提供参考依据。  相似文献
