The recently available Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data, with 90 m horizontal resolution, are used to delineate the entire Tushka mega-watershed. It is calculated that the watershed covers an area of 150 000 km² and composed of four subwatersheds. This study indicates that the Tushka basin is a closed hydrological system independent of the Nile hydro-system, the Qena Valley system, and the Chad basin as well. More importantly, the study demonstrates that this basin drains northeasterly toward the westernmost of the recently flooded lakes in the Tushka depression, west of Lake Nasser. The hydrological activities within the basin resulted in the formation of the largest paleo-lake deposit in Egypt at Bir-Tarfawi. The vast sand sheets that cover the Tushka basin accentuate the theory of El-Baz [1982. Genesis of the Great Sand Sea, Western Desert of Egypt. International Association of Sediment, 11th International Conference, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, p. 68], which relates sand accumulations within basins in today's deserts to previous fluvial activities. The present study illustrates the capability of the SRTM in penetrating desert sand surfaces and mapping the ancient drainage networks, which remarkably correlate with subsurface channels detected in Radarsat-1 images.  相似文献

上海软土地区打入桩基长期沉降性状研究   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

周红波  陈竹昌 《岩土力学》2007,28(9):1856-1860

通过对上海25栋高层建筑打入桩基长期沉降观测资料的对比分析,研究压缩层的组成与桩周土特性对打入桩基长期沉降性状的影响,指出桩周浅部厚砂土层对打入桩基长期沉降性状的影响同压缩层有密切的关系。当压缩层以准砂土为主（准砂土比 ? > 75 %）时,桩周厚砂土层对降低桩基沉降及改善沉降性状有明显作用;当准砂土比? < 50 %（或可塑性黏土比?3 > 50 %）时,桩周厚砂土层的上述作用将消失。即使在桩周存在厚砂土层时,压缩层组成对桩基沉降性状的基本特征起主导作用仍然是具有普遍意义的概念。在浅部厚砂土层中得到的上述研究结果,实际上同挤土桩施工的复杂作用有关。  相似文献   

PIV技术及其在风沙边界层研究中的应用   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

为了考察粒子图像测速度技术在风沙环境风洞中的测量精度及在风沙边界层研究中的应用潜力,通过筛选适当的示踪颗粒,借助PIV测量系统重新测量了风沙环境风洞中的风廓线,并获得了风沙边界层内跃移沙粒的速度和浓度分布规律。实验结果表明：PIV测得的风速廓线与标准风速廓线仪所测结果相当吻合(R2≥0.99);沙粒跃移的平均水平速度和相对浓度（灰度）沿距离沙面高度分别呈幂函数和负指数分布,沙粒速度随高度和自由风速的增加而增大,相对浓度随高度的增加而快速衰减,风速越小衰减越快,风速越大衰减越慢,这一结果与前人的结论一致。PIV系统为将来能够进行更加精确的风沙运动微观机理研究提供了技术保证。  相似文献   

新疆和田河流域灌丛沙堆风洞流场的实验研究（Ⅰ）   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2

灌丛沙堆是一种重要的风积地貌类型,风力、沙源、植物是影响灌丛沙堆发育的主要因素。依据风沙运动实验相似理论,以新疆和田河流域实测的灌丛沙堆数据为基础,按40∶1的比例缩小制作成无植被“灌丛沙堆”模型,在风洞中选用区间在6~14 m\5s-1的5组不同风速分别对沙堆模型作纯气流模拟实验流场观测,探讨在不同风力作用下灌丛沙堆表面的流场结构变化特征。模拟实验表明,气流在半球形沙堆迎风坡下部受到正面风压影响有较明显反射涡流,丘顶具有高速气流风蚀区域,而圆锥形沙堆迎风坡气流均匀爬坡加速,背风坡涡流强盛,因此两者在无沙情况下的纯气流流场结构特征、沙堆形态动力平衡特点有较明显差异。  相似文献   

Valley-marginal sand dunes in the south-west Kalahari: their nature, classification and possible origins   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Joanna E. Bullard  David J. Nash 《Journal of Arid Environments》2000,45(4):369

This paper considers the nature, classification and possible origin of a variety of desert sand dunes which occur in association with ephemeral drainage features in the south-west Kalahari. The dune forms, which we term valley-marginal dunes, are found at the top of valley flanks, and are narrow, elongate forms with arcuate and straight planform elements which mirror the course of extant and ancient channels. Following a discussion of the major schemes used to classify different dune types, we describe the morphology and situation of these valley-marginal dunes. We suggest that whilst the basic morphometry of these dunes is similar to many other dune types, the topographic setting in which they occur is relatively unusual. We conclude that valley-marginal dunes are a previously unrecognized landform which cannot be fitted into current classificatory schemes. It is suggested that one reason for this may be the lack of an explicit temporal dimension in most dune classifications.  相似文献

Origins and development of Holocene coral reefs: a revisited model based on reef boreholes in the Seychelles, Indian Ocean     

C. J. R. Braithwaite  L. F. Montaggioni  G. F. Camoin  H. Dalmasso  W. C. Dullo  A. Mangini 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2000,89(2):431-445

 Until recently, concepts of coral reef growth and accumulation have been predominantly based on a Darwinian model. In this, the upwards and outwards growth of a reef core (a coral framework) takes place over a foreslope consisting of reef talus, with the simultaneous filling of the back-reef lagoon by reef-derived debris. The principal adaptations of this pattern relate to the influence of relative changes in sea level and commonly ignore oceanographic factors such as storm frequency and severity. Boreholes through the outer edge of a fringing reef in the Seychelles, western Indian Ocean, reveal a record of Holocene sediment accumulation first established approximately 8 ka ago. Faunal and floral associations show that growth of this body began in relatively deep water but that this shallowed to <5 m within 1 ka. Subsequent accumulation was of “keep-up” style but, as the rate of sea-level rise slowed, shoaling became more frequent and aggradation was limited by reducing accommodation space. Constructional facies are characterised either by massive corals, including Leptastrea, Porites and faviids, or by branching corals, typically Acropora of the danai-robusta group. Coral surfaces may be encrusted by red algae, foraminifera and vermetids, and are commonly bored by filamentous algae, clionids and molluscs. However, detrital facies are volumetrically dominant, and the paucity of a constructional framework requires a re-evaluation of models of reef accretion. New models relate the geometry of accretion to the interplay between extreme storm events and fairweather hydrodynamic conditions. These suggest that a contiguous framework forms in areas of moderate fairweather energy without extreme storm events. Severe storms destroy the continuity of reef structures and generate increasing volumes of coarse detritus. Low storm severity, coupled with low fairweather hydrodynamic energy, may promote the accumulation of fine-grained reef-derived sediments that inhibit framework growth. While ecology reflects year-by-year sea conditions, lithology and structure are controlled by exceptional storms, with the effects of changing sea level superimposed.

关于我国华北沙尘天气的成因与治理对策   总被引：148，自引：6，他引：142

２０００年春季,我国华北沙尘天气次数陡增,影响广泛,损失明显增加。利用长期气象观测数据,结合遥感和ＧＩＳ技术,对今年华北沙尘天气的成因进行分析,提出造成沙尘天气的原因在于：①北方地区大风日数的增减是气候周期性变化的反映,今年强沙尘天气陡增是因为处于反厄尔尼诺事件的高峰期所致;②我国北方地表覆被状况局部改善、整体恶化也是今年强沙尘天气产生的另一重要原因。影响华北地区的沙尘天气主要必源于内蒙古中西部和  相似文献
