冻土区的地下水基础研究--《寒区冻结层上水》简介(英文)

Fundamental Research into Groundwater in Permafrost Zone ——Introduction of "Suprapermafrost Water in the Cryolithozone" written by Shepelev V.V.

由俄罗斯科学院西伯利亚分院Melnikov冻土研究所的V.V.Shepelev教授编写,R.V.Zhang教授编辑的《寒区冻结层上水》(Suprapermafrost Waters in the Cryolithozone)一书已于2011年由俄罗斯新西伯利亚的地球科学学术出版社(Novosibirsk:Academic Publishing House"Geo")出版发行.全书分为5章,共130页,包括50幅彩图,17个表格,426条主要参考文献,硬皮封面.针对地球科学界提出的一个新研究领域"寒区水文地质学(cryohydrogeology)",该书介绍了其概念、分类方案、主要影响因素、水的化学组成特性、持水系统的水动力特征以及他们对技术影响的响应等.全书包含了作者及其团队多年来对俄罗斯地区冻结层上水的形成规律、区域边界特征、相变特征等进行系统观测所得到的大量数据,并进行系统分析所得到的研究结果,具有很好的应用参考价值.该专著不但会引起水文地质学和冻土学专家的极大兴趣,而且可以作为主修地质学、地理学、土木工程、水文地质学、冻土学的大学生或研究生的教科书,也可以作为专业人员的参考书籍.

Groundwater is an exceptionally important component of natural resources.It is groundwater that provides the cleanest and reliable source of water supply for human settlements,industries,agriculture,transport,and other object of the economic infrastructure.In cold regions of the globe,the distribution regularities of groundwater deposits,their regime and formation are most intimately linked to seasonal and perennial freezing of the upper part of the Earth’s crust.The problem of interaction between groundwater and permafrost and the cryohydrogenesis of lithosphere have attracted attention of scientists and engineers.Many years of investigation in different regions across the globe,notably in Siberia and in the North-East of Russia,have provided fundamental insights into the influence of low temperatures upon the formation conditions,the distribution regime and the properties of water occurring beneath permafrost or in taliks among the frost layers.It is established that permafrost is a potent factor in the redistribution of water resources,a regulator of the runoff,storage of large reserves of ice,and the recorder of the climatic and hydrological events in the past.A new research field is developed in the array of Earth’s sciences,namely cryohydrogeology,which deal with the most complex issues related to water management in the North for several decades.Unfortunately,some aspects of this research field haven’t been elaborated sufficiently to date,which is a serious obstacle to the resolution of a great deal of practical problems.
