| 1 | 青藏高原及周边地区近期冰川状态失常与灾变风险显示文摘青藏高原及周边地区是除南、北极地区之外全球最重要的冰川资源富集地.近百年来,青藏高原及周边地区冰川整体处于缓慢退缩状态,但20世纪90年代以来,这种状态发生了根本变化.以东帕米尔-喀喇昆仑-西昆仑地区冰川相对稳定甚至部分冰川前进为特征的'喀喇昆仑异常'是青藏高原及周边地区冰川状态失常的一种表现形式;而青藏高原东南地区冰川加速退缩则是这一地区冰川失常的另一种表现形式.高海拔地区的异常升温是青藏高原及周边地区冰川状态失常的重要驱动力.另外,这种冰川状态失常还与气候变暖背景下的西风和季风大气环流过程有关.随着全球变暖的加剧,冰川状态失常直接导致冰崩、冰湖溃决等灾变风险的增加.应对青藏高原及周边地区冰川状态失常的不利影响,需要进一步加强冰川变化监测与研究,加大冰川灾害防范力度. | 姚檀栋 余武生 邬光剑 徐柏青 杨威 赵华标 王伟财 李生海 王宁练 李忠勤 刘时银 游超 | 2019 | 科学通报2019,64,27: | 51 |
| 2 | 冰川运动速度影响因子的强度分析——以祁连山七一冰川为例显示文摘以冰川形态因子变量(面积、长度和厚度),气候条件因子变量(年气温、降水),以及年物质平衡量等作为影响因素,采用通径分析方法研究了祁连山七一冰川1958-2007年间年际运动速度的影响因子强度.结果表明:冰川形态对运动速度的影响强度最大,物质平衡的影响次之,而气候条件的影响最弱.在这些影响因素中冰川面积和厚度对运动速度的影响较为显著,其直接和间接的通径系数分别是6.56、4.71和19.29、13.57.为认识冰川运动速度的内外影响因素提供了科学参考依据. | 井哲帆 刘力 周在明 邓宇峰 | 2011 | 冰川冻土2011,33,6: | 15 |
| 3 | 高亚洲定位监测冰川平衡线高度时空分布特征研究显示文摘利用高亚洲定位监测冰川平衡线高度数据,对平衡线高度时空分布特征进行了分析.结果表明:高亚洲冰川平衡线高度在空间尺度上具有纬度地带性、经向地带性和区域性的特征.在时间尺度上,高亚洲定位监测冰川平衡线高度呈现不同程度的升高趋势.在天山山区,乌鲁木齐河源1号冰川和Ts.Tuyuksuyskiy冰川的平衡线高度在1960-2013年间,分别增加约116 m、80 m,二者相比,Ts.Tuyuksuyskiy冰川对气候变化的敏感性更高;在阿尔泰山区,No.125(Vodopadniy)冰川、Maliy Aktru冰川和Leviy Aktru冰川在1983-2007年间,平衡线高度变化趋势基本一致,总体都呈升高趋势,其中,Maliy Aktru冰川平衡线高度增幅最大,升高了约142 m;高亚洲定位监测冰川中,1962-2008年间,七一冰川平衡线高度升高速度最快,增幅最大,升高了约264 m,升高速度最为缓慢的是乌鲁木齐河源1号冰川,其增幅最小,升高了约47 m. | 叶万花 王飞腾 李忠勤 张慧 徐春海 怀保娟 | 2016 | 冰川冻土2016,38,6: | 9 |
| 4 | 祁连山老虎沟冰芯记录的高山区大气降水变化显示文摘冰芯所记录的积累量是恢复高山区过去降水变化最可靠的指标。2006年在青藏高原东北缘祁连山老虎沟12号冰川粒雪盆海拔5040 m处钻取了的一支20.12 m的冰芯,利用其年积累量估算了1960-2006年期间的冰川区降水量,结合2010年实测资料,分析了这一时期降水变化特征并研究其与周边其他地区降水变化的关系。结果表明,在过去50年中,高山冰川区降水量表现出先增加后减少的趋势。在1960-1980年,降水量表现出明显增加趋势,1980-2006年表现出明显减小趋势。重建的冰川区降水量变化与临近低海拔区的肃北气象站降水变化有很好的一致性,二者相关系数为0.619(P<0.001),而量级上高山区是低山区的约3倍。祁连山老虎沟冰川区降水与周边的敦德冰芯同期的累积量、树轮重建降水、青藏高原东北部多个气象站点的实测降水,以及临近区域格点PDSI干旱指数变化对应较好。此外,近50年来祁连山老虎沟冰川区及毗邻的青藏高原东北部地区降水变化与ENSO呈正相关关系明显,反映了该地区高海拔大气降水变化很可能受ENSO的影响。 | 秦翔 崔晓庆 杜文涛 任贾文 陈记祖 | 2014 | 地理学报2014,69,5: | 8 |
| 5 | Variations in the equilibrium line altitude of Urumqi Glacier No.1,Tianshan Mountains,over the past 50 years显示文摘The glacier ELA is one of the important parameters reflecting climate change.Based on observations of the equilibrium line altitude(ELA) of Urumqi Glacier No.1 in the Tianshan Mountains,we established a statistical model between ELA and its major influencing factors,warm season air temperature(air temperature averages for May,June,July and August) and annual precipitation.Result showed that,warm season air temperature was the leading climatic factor influencing ELA variations.The glacier ELA ascends(descends) 61.7 m when warm season air temperature increases(decreases) by 1°C,and ascends(descends) 13.1 m when cold season precipitation decreases(increases) by 10%.In the period 1959-2008,the glacier ELA showed a general increasing trend,ascending108 m and reaching its highest altitude in 2008 at 4168 m a.s.l.,close to the glacier summit.If future climate is similar to that in the past 50 years,the ELA of Urumqi Glacier No.1 will still ascend with a speed of 2.16 m/a.However,If future climate is similar to that in the period 2000-2008,the ELA will still ascend with a speed of 6.5 m/a before it is stable.As a result of ELA variation,the accumulation area ratio(AAR) of the glacier showed a decreasing trend during the past 50 years. | DONG ZhiWen QIN DaHe REN JiaWen LI KaiMing LI ZhongQin | 2012 | Chinese Science Bulletin2012,57,36: | 7 |
| 6 | Changes in physical features of Glacier No. 1 of the Tianshan Mountains in response to climate change显示文摘This study analyzes the changes in glacier zones and snow composition of Glacier No.1 in the Tianshan Mountains of China since 1961,and their possible relations with climate.It is found that precipitation dominated the snow composition and that air temperature and precipitation controlled the distribution of glacier zones,but interannual change in precipitation had a relatively large effect on glacier zones and snow composition during 1963–1981 (P10) and 1963–1989 (P11).However,during 1982–2007 (P20) and 1990–2007 (P21),the air temperature rise (0.57°C/10 a for P20,0.76°C/10 a for P21) was more influential than the precipitation increase (51.3 mm/10 a for P20),and air temperature was principally responsible for the evolution of glacier zones and snow composition most probably resulting from recent climate warming. | LI XiangYing DING YongJian YE BaiSheng HAN TianDing | 2011 | Chinese Science Bulletin2011,56,26: | 6 |
| 7 | Variations of the alpine precipitation from an ice core record of the Laohugou glacier basin during 1960-2006 in western Qilian Mountains, China显示文摘The net accumulation record of ice core is one of the most reliable indicators for reconstructing precipitation changes in high mountains.A 20.12 m ice core was drilled in 2006 from the accumulation zone of Laohugou Glacier No.12 in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau,China.We obtained the precipitation from the ice core net accumulation during 1960-2006,and found out the relationship between Laohugou ice core record and other data from surrounding sites of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau.Results showed that during 1960-2006,the precipitation in the high mountains showed firstly an increasing trend,while during 1980 to 2006 it showed an obvious decreasing trend.Reconstructed precipitation change in the Laohugou glacier basin was consistent with the measured data from the nearby weather stations in the lower mountain of Subei,and the correlation coefficient was 0.619(P<0.001).However,the precipitation in the high mountain was about 3 times more than that of the lower mountain.The precipitation in Laohugou Glacier No.12 of the western Qilian Mountains corresponded well to the net accumulation of Dunde ice core during the same period,tree-ring reconstructed precipitation,the measured data of multiple meteorological stations in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau,and also the changes of adjacent PDSI drought index.Precipitation changes of the Laohugou glacier basin and other sites of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau had significantly positive correlation with ENSO,which implied that the regional alpine precipitation change was very likely to be influenced by ENSO. | QIN Xiang CUI Xiaoqing DU Wentao DONG Zhiwen REN Jiawen CHEN Jizu | 2015 | Journal of Geographical Sciences2015,25,2: | 6 |
| 8 | The mass-balance characteristics and sensitivities to climate variables of Laohugou Glacier No.12,western Qilian Mountains,China显示文摘Due to global warming, glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau(TP) are experiencing widespread shrinkage; however, the mechanisms controlling glacier variations across the TP are still rather unclear, especially on the northeastern TP. In this study, a physically based, distributed surface-energy and mass-balance model was used to simulate glacier mass balance forced by meteorological data. The model was applied to Laohugou No. 12 Glacier, western Qilian Mountains, China, during2010~2012. The simulated albedo and mass balance were validated and calibrated by in situ measurements. The simulated annual glacier-wide mass balances were-385 mm water equivalent(w.e.) in 2010/2011 and-232 mm w.e. in 2011/2012,respectively. The mean equilibrium-line altitude(ELA) was 5,015 m a.s.l., during 2010~2012, which ascended by 215 m compared to that in the 1970 s. The mean accumulation area ratio(AAR) was 39% during the two years. Climatic-sensitivity experiments indicated that the change of glacier mass balance resulting from a 1.5 °C increase in air temperature could be offset by a 30% increase in annual precipitation. The glacier mass balance varied linearly with precipitation, at a rate of130 mm w.e. per 10% change in total precipitation. | JiZu Chen ShiChang Kang Xiang Qin WenTao Du WeiJun Sun YuShuo Liu | 2017 | Research in Cold and Arid Regions2017,9,6: | 6 |
| 9 | 基于第二次冰川编目数据的中国冰川高度结构特征分析显示文摘主要基于第二次中国冰川编目数据,计算和分析中国西部各个山脉冰川面积随高度分布特征、冰川平衡线高度场的分布规律和积累区比率的分布特征。结果表明:(1)各个山脉冰川面积随高度分布呈近似正态分布,冰川最大面积所占总面积的百分比与冰川分布高度差的比值可以作为描述冰川面积随高度分布的形状参数;(2)平衡线高度的分布特征受气候和地形影响,由南向北逐渐降低,由东向西逐渐升高;西北和南部高大山脉边缘比较密集,青藏高原内部比较稀疏。(3)冰川积累区比率的分布特征与水汽、地形和物理冰川属性有关。各大山脉外侧和海洋型冰川区积累区比率较小(<0.5),山脉内侧及高原内陆地区和极大陆型冰川区的积累区比率较大(>0.7)。 | 张鲜鹤 王欣 刘时银 郭万钦 魏俊锋 | 2017 | 地理学报2017,72,3: | 6 |
| 10 | 气候变化对疏勒河中游水循环及生态环境的影响分析显示文摘采用气候变化A1B,A2和B1三种情景数据,预测河西走廊疏勒河干流2011-2050年出山口径流量,加载到疏勒河中游地表地下水耦合模型,分析人类活动及气候变化对疏勒河中游水循环及生态环境影响趋势。结果表明:未来各排放情景气温均明显升高;降水先减少再增加,但增加趋势不明显;径流量较2000-2010年先减少再增加,其中A1B情景增加量最大,B1增加量最小。总供水量和供水结构与2010年现状相同;由于人类活动影响,渠系入渗、田间回归和地下水开采等变化不大,河流入渗、潜水蒸发、泉沟排泄等均衡项与径流量变化趋势一致。与2010年现状相比,地下水储量先减少后增加,至2050年A1B和A2情景地下水储量增加,而B1情景地下水储量减少。适宜天然植被生长的总面积将减少,植被退化区域主要集中在平原区的东南部。 | 黄鹏飞 王忠静 | 2014 | 水力发电学报2014,33,3: | 5 |
| 11 | Potential Effect of Black Carbon on Glacier Mass Balance during the Past 55 Years of Laohugou Glacier No. 12, Western Qilian Mountains显示文摘This study reconstructed the annual mass balance(MB)of Laohugou Glacier No.12 in the western Qilian Mountains during 1961–2015.The annual MB was calculated based on a temperature-index and an accumulation model with inputs of daily air temperature and precipitation recorded by surrounding meteorological stations.The model was calibrated by in-situ MB measurements conducted on the glacier during 2010–2015.Change in constructed annual MB had three phases.During Phase Ⅰ(1961-1984),glacier-wide MB values were slightly positive with an average MB of 24±276 mm w.e.(water equivalent).During Phase Ⅱ(1984-1995),the MB values became slightly negative with an average MB of?50±276 mm w.e..The most negative MB values were found during Phase Ⅲ(1996–2015),with an average MB of?377±276 mm w.e.Climatic analysis showed that the warming led to accelerated glacier mass loss despite a persistent increase of precipitation during the analysis period.However,an increase of black carbon deposited on the glacier surface since the 1980s could have contributed to intensified glacier melt.From simulations and measurements of MB on the Urumqi Glacier No.1,26%of glacier melt caused by black carbon could be identified. | Jizu Chen Xiang Qin Shichang Kang Wentao Du Weijun Sun Yushuo Liu | 2020 | Journal of Earth Science2020,31,2: | 4 |
| 12 | 高亚洲冰川区SRTM C-波段DEM数据透射深度研究显示文摘SRTM数据是研究冰量变化的重要数据之一。基于SRTM C-波段和X-波段的高程数据,对高亚洲不同冰川区SRTM C-波段数据的透射深度进行了研究。结果表明:高亚洲地区SRTMC透射深度的空间分布特征存在较大差异,其中藏色岗日地区的透射深度最大为(5.3±2.1)m,中天山和念青唐古拉西段地区的透射深度最小仅为(0.8±0.6)m。透射深度整体空间分布呈由高亚洲边缘地区向青藏高原内陆先减小后增大,到羌塘高原地区SRTMC的透射深度最大的趋势。气温和降水量的空间差异共同作用是导致SRTMC透射深度呈上述分布状况的主要因素。此外,SRTM X-波段数据的覆盖状况和冰川样本数量的选择会导致不同研究估算出的SRTMC透射深度存在不确定性。 | 陈安安 李真 贺建桥 郭忠明 张伟 | 2018 | 冰川冻土2018,40,1: | 4 |
| 13 | Hydrological Services by Mountain Ecosystems in Qilian Mountain of China: A Review显示文摘Hydrological service is a hot issue in the current researches of ecosystem service, particularly in the upper reaches of mountain rivers in dry land areas, where the Qilian Mountain is a representative one. The Qilian Mountain, where forest, shrubland and grassland consist of its main ecosystems, can provide fresh water and many other ecosystem services, through a series of eco-hydrological process such as precipitation interception, soil water storage, and fresh water provision. Thus, monitoring water regulation and assessing the hydrological service of the Qilian Mountain are meaningful and helpful for the healthy development of the lower reaches of arid and semi-arid areas. In recent 10 years, hydrological services have been widely researched in terms of scale and landscape pattern, including water conservation, hydrological responses to afforestation and their ecological effects. This study, after analyzing lots of current models and applications of geographical information system(GIS) in hydrological services, gave a scientific and reasonable evaluation of mountain ecosystem in eco-hydrological services, by employing the combination of international forefronts and contentious issues into the Qilian Mountain. Assessments of hydrological services at regional or larger scales are limited compared with studies within watershed scale in the Qilian Mountain. In our evaluation results of forest ecosystems, it is concluded that long-term observation and dynamic monitoring of different types of ecosystem are indispensable, and the hydrological services and the potential variation in water supplement on regional and large scales should be central issues in the future research. | SUN Feixiang LYU Yihe FU Bojie HU Jian | 2016 | Chinese Geographical Science2016,26,2: | 2 |
| 14 | A simple method to extract glacier length based on Digital Elevation Model and glacier boundaries for simple basin type glacier显示文摘Glacier length is a key morphological element that has many glaciological applications; however, it is often difficult to determine, especially for glaciers that cover larger spatial areas or those that exhibit frequent temporal change. In this paper, we describe a new Arc GIS-based method that can derive glacier flow lines for determining glacier length based on digital elevation model and glacier outlines. This method involves(1) extraction of the highest and lowest points on a glacier,(2) calculation of 10-m contour lines on the glacier from 10 m to 100 m height, and(3) connection of the midpoints of each contour line with the highest and the lowest points in order to create a flow line, which is subsequently smoothed. In order to assess the reliability of this method, we tested the algorithm's results against flow lines calculated using field measurements, analysing data from the Chinese Glacier Inventory, and manual interpretation. These data showed that the new automated method is effective in deriving glacier flow lines when contour lines are relatively large; in particular, when they are between 70 m and 100 m. Nonetheless, a key limitation of the algorithm is the requirement to automatically delete repeated and closed curves in the pre-treatment processes. In addition to calculating glacier flow lines for derivation of glacier length, this method also can be used to effectively determine glacier terminus change. | JI Qin YANG Tai-bao HE Yi QIN Yan DONG Jun HU Fan-sheng | 2017 | Journal of Mountain Science2017,14,9: | 2 |
| 15 | An investigation on changes in glacier mass balance and hypsometry for a small mountainous glacier in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau显示文摘Mass balance is a key indicator of the sensitivity of glaciers to climate change. Field measurement is one of the most important ways to study the mass balance of glaciers. Based on observations of mass balance in the ablation zone of Shuiguan Glacier No.4, Qilian Mountains, China, combined with the balance ratio between accumulation and ablation, we established a linear relation between mass balance and altitude. The results show that the mean annual mass balance of this glacier was ~510 mm w.e. from 2010 to 2013. The uncertainty in the balance ratio value does not lead to a significant difference in the mass balance. The equilibrium-line altitude rose by 180 m from 1972 to 2013, while the accumulation–area ratio decreased from 0.68 to 0.25. These variations may be caused by changes in air temperature. Meanwhile, the glacier is at present not in a steady state, and it may continue to shrink by a further ~900 m, even without further climate warming. In the western Lenglongling Mountains, assuming that the glaciers are in a steady state and the Equilibrium-line altitudes(ELAs)remain similar, there will be only 46 glaciers left, covering a total area of 19.2 km^2, in other words, only 22.3% of the glaciers area in 1972. | CAO Bo PAN Bao-tian CAI Ming-yong WANG Jie | 2017 | Journal of Mountain Science2017,14,8: | 2 |
| 16 | Glacier variations and rising temperature in the Mt.Kenya since the Last Glacial Maximum显示文摘High-resolution imagery can be used to reconstruct former glacier boundaries through the identification of glacial erosional and sedimentary geomorphology. We employed moraine mapping and the accumulation–area ratio method(AAR), in conjunction with Landsat, Google Earth, and SRTM imagery, to reconstruct glacier boundaries and equilibrium-line altitudes(ELAs) for Mt. Kenya in the Last Glacial Maximum(LGM), the Little Ice Age(LIA), and at present. Our results show that the areas of Lewis Glacier and the Tyndall-I glacier system were 0.678 km^2 and 0.390 km^2, respectively, during the maximum of LIA. Those mean that the both glaciers have shrunken by 87.0% and 88.7%, respectively since the LIA. Area change ratios for each glacier were significantly larger in the period of 2000 through 2015 than the former periods, indicating that glacier recession has accelerated. Continuous ice loss in this region has been driven by rising temperature and fluctuating precipitation. Linear regression data for Lewis glacier show that mass balance sensitivity to dry season temperature was –315 mm w.e./℃, whereas the sensitivity to dry season precipitation was 5.2 mm w.e./mm. Our data also show that the ELA on the western slope of Mt. Kenya rose by 716-816 m from the LGM to the modern era, corresponding to that temperature rose by 5.2℃-6.5℃. | chen an-an wang ning-lian guo zhong-ming wu yu-wei wu hong-bo | 2018 | Journal of Mountain Science2018,15,6: | 1 |
| 17 | Region-wide glacier area and mass budgets for the Shaksgam River Basin,Karakoram Mountains,during 2000–2016显示文摘The Karakoram Mountains are well known for their widespread surge-type glaciers and slight glacier mass gains.On the one hand,glaciers are one of the sensitive indicators of climate change,their area and thickness will adjust with climate change.On the other hand,glaciers provide freshwater resources for agricultural irrigation and hydroelectric generation in the downstream areas of the Shaksgam River Basin(SRB)in western China.The shrinkage of glaciers caused by climate change can significantly affect the security and sustainable development of regional water resources.In this study,we analyzed the changes in glacier area from 2000 to 2016 in the SRB using Landsat TM(Thematic Mapper)/ETM+(Enhanced Mapper Plus)/OLI(Operational Land Imager)images.It is shown that the SRB contained 472 glaciers,with an area of 1840.3 km2,in 2016.The glacier area decreased by 0.14%/a since 2000,and the shrinkage of glacier in the southeast,east and south directions were the most,while the northeast,north directions were the least.Debris-covered area accounted for 8.0%of the total glacier area.We estimated elevation and mass changes using the 1 arc-second SRTM(Shuttle Radar Topography Mission)DEM(Digital Elevation Model)(2000)and the resolution of 8 m HMA(High Mountain Asia)DEM(2016).An average thickness of 0.08(±0.03)m/a,or a slight mass increase of 0.06(±0.02)m w.e./a has been obtained since 2000.We found thinning was significantly lesser on the clean ice than the debris-covered ice.In addition,the elevation of glacier surface is spatially heterogeneous,showing that the accumulation of mass is dominant in high altitude regions,and the main mass loss is in low altitude regions,excluding the surge-type glacier.For surge-type glaciers,the mass may transfer from the reservoir to the receiving area rapidly when surges,then resulting in an advance of glacier terminus.The main surge mechanism is still unclear,it is worth noting that the surge did not increase the glacier mass in this study. | WANG Panpan LI Zhongqin XU Chunhai WANG Puyu | 2021 | Journal of Arid Land2021,13,2: | 1 |
| 18 | Analysis on factors of glacier velocity:A case study of the Qiyi Glacier,Qilian Mountains显示文摘Glacier shape factors(area,length,and thickness),climatic factors(annual temperature and precipitation),mass balance,and other influence factors,of the Qiyi glacier velocity and their intensity were analyzed with the application of the path analysis method during 1958-2007.Results indicate that glacier velocity was mainly influenced by glacier shape,followed by mass balance and climatic conditions.Among the influence factors,glacier area and thickness are most significant,and direct and indirect path coefficients are respectively 6.56,4.71,19.29 and 13.57.This research provides information for further understanding glacier velocity and its influencing factors. | ZheFan Jing Li Liu ZaiMing Zhou YuFeng Deng | 2012 | Research in Cold and Arid Regions2012,4,4: | 0 |

| 20 | 祁连山冰川变化及其脆弱性显示文摘Glaciers are a reliable freshwater resource in arid regions of West China and the vulnerability of its changes is closely related to regional ecosystem services and economic sustainable development. Here, we took the Qilian Mountains as an example and analyzed the spatiotemporal characteristics of glacier changes from 1998 to 2018, based on remote sensing images and the Second Chinese Glacier Inventory. We estimated the basic organizational framework and evaluation index system of glacier change vulnerability from exposure, sensitivity and adaptability, which covered the factors of physical geography, population status and socio-economic level. We analyzed the spatial and temporal evolutions of glacier change vulnerability by using the vulnerability evaluation model. Our results suggested that:(1) Glacier area and volume decreased by 71.12±98.98 km^(2) and 5.59±4.41 km^(3), respectively, over the recent two decades, which mainly occurred at the altitude below 4800 m, with an area shrinking rate of 2.5%. In addition, glaciers in the northern aspect(northwest, north and northeast) had the largest area reduction. Different counties exhibited remarkable discrepancies in glacier area reduction, Tianjuan and Minle presented the maximum and minimum decrease, respectively.(2) Glacier change vulnerability level showed a decreasing trend in space from the central to the northwestern and southeastern regions with remarkable differences. Vulnerability level had increased significantly over time and was mainly concentrated in moderate, high and extreme levels with typical characteristics of phases and regional complexity. Our study can not only help to understand and master the impacts of recent glacier changes on natural and social aspects but also be conducive to evaluate the influences of glacier retreat on socio-economic developments in the future, thus providing references for formulating relevant countermeasures to achieve regional sustainable development. | 蔡兴冉 李忠勤 徐春海 | 2022 | Journal of Geographical Sciences2022,32,1: | 0 |
