Peak discharge of a Pleistocene lava-dam outburst flood in Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The failure of a lava dam 165,000 yr ago produced the largest known flood on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon. The Hyaloclastite Dam was up to 366 m high, and geochemical evidence linked this structure to outburst-flood deposits that occurred for 32 km downstream. Using the Hyaloclastite outburst-flood deposits as paleostage indicators, we used dam-failure and unsteady flow modeling to estimate a peak discharge and flow hydrograph. Failure of the Hyaloclastite Dam released a maximum 11 × 109 m3 of water in 31 h. Peak discharges, estimated from uncertainty in channel geometry, dam height, and hydraulic characteristics, ranged from 2.3 to 5.3 × 105 m3 s−1 for the Hyaloclastite outburst flood. This discharge is an order of magnitude greater than the largest known discharge on the Colorado River (1.4 × 104 m3 s−1) and the largest peak discharge resulting from failure of a constructed dam in the USA (6.5 × 104 m3 s−1). Moreover, the Hyaloclastite outburst flood is the oldest documented Quaternary flood and one of the largest to have occurred in the continental USA. The peak discharge for this flood ranks in the top 30 floods (>105 m3 s−1) known worldwide and in the top ten largest floods in North America. 相似文献

Flood response to rainfall variability during the last 2000 years inferred from the Taravilla Lake record (Central Iberian Range, Spain) 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

A sedimentological, geochemical and palynological study of the Taravilla Lake sequence (Central Iberian Range, NE Spain) provides
a detailed record of allochthonous terrigenous layers that intercalate within the lacustrine sediments over the last 2000 years.
These terrigenous layers are interpreted as the result of extreme hydrological events that caused higher clastic input to
the basin. Anthropogenic influence caused by fires or deforestation is rejected as the main factor generating these layers
because human impact, inferred from the pollen reconstruction, was minimal when the terrigenous layers reached their greatest
frequency. The reconstructed occurrence of these events in the Taravilla Lake record is coherent with the paleoflood history
of the Tagus River, characterized by a notable increase of extreme events at the beginning of the Little Ice Age. The Taravilla
record suggests a relationship between the occurrence of extreme hydrological events, solar variability, and the North Atlantic
Oscillation for the NE Iberian Peninsula. 相似文献

A peat core from a cutoff paleochannel of Little River on the upper Coastal Plain of North Carolina provides a continuous pollen record of environmental change for the past 10,500 years and includes a sedimentary record of overbank floods. Palynological and sedimentary data indicate that the early to middle Holocene was wetter than previously suggested from lake sites in the southeastern United States. The period from 9000 to 6100 cal yr B.P. is characterized by high pollen percentages of Nyssa and Quercus, but low percentages of Pinus. Fifteen large overbank flood events are present within this period (5 floods/1000 yr). In contrast, only 6 large overbank flood events occurred since 6100 cal yr B.P. (1 flood/1000 yr). The increases in moisture and flood events probably were controlled by changes in atmospheric circulation related to shifts in the position of the Bermuda High, sea surface temperatures, and El Niño activity that together may have affected the frequency of large floods generated from tropical storms in the region. 相似文献

通过野外观察研究,在黄河中游晋陕峡谷龙门段乡宁-韩城大桥西端支沟内,发现了全新世古洪水滞流沉积物.通过野外观察和室内实验分析,证明它们是黄河特大洪水悬移质泥沙在高水位滞流环境下的沉积物,记录了黄河晋陕峡谷段一期4次特大古洪水事件.通过地层学对比分析和光释光测年,确定这4次洪水发生在全新世中期-晚期转折阶段,即我国历史上商代末期-西周初期的气候突变转型期.利用"古洪水滞流沉积物厚度含沙量法"恢复古洪水洪峰水位,运用HEC-RAS模型估算出4次古洪水事件洪峰流量介于46280~48800 m~3/s之间.这些成果为黄河中游地区的防洪减灾、水资源开发利用、流域生态环境综合治理等方面提供了可靠的超长尺度水文数据.这为深入理解黄河流域水文系统对于全球变化的响应规律提供了新的证据. 相似文献
