The types and causes of railway blown-sand hazards are discussed, and the effectiveness of various sand-controlling measures is assessed. From the perspective of integrated management, a sand-controlling system that combines several engineering measures, including nylon net sand barriers, concrete sand barriers, movable-board sand barriers, sand interception ditches, gravel/rock cover, film sandbags, and permanent vegetation is most beneficial.展开更多

青海湖湖东地区出露典型的风成沉积,对气候变化响应敏感,为古气候环境的重建提供了良好研究窗口。本文选取湖东地区厚度10 m的风成砂-砂质古土壤剖面为对象,运用端元分析模型对沉积物粒度数据进行分析,提取对气候变化反映敏感的粒级组分...青海湖湖东地区出露典型的风成沉积,对气候变化响应敏感,为古气候环境的重建提供了良好研究窗口。本文选取湖东地区厚度10 m的风成砂-砂质古土壤剖面为对象,运用端元分析模型对沉积物粒度数据进行分析,提取对气候变化反映敏感的粒级组分,进一步结合粒度组分、磁化率指标,阐释各端元指示的环境意义以及近32 ka BP以来青海湖湖东地区的环境演化过程。结果表明,大水塘剖面粒度组成以砂粒物质为主,粉砂次之,黏粒最少。剖面的沉积物粒度组分可分解为3个端元:EM1是受冬季风影响的敏感粒径,指示冬季风的强弱变化;EM2指示的是区域环境受风沙作用的强弱,与EM1指示相反,但共同反映冬季风的强弱;EM3指示受区域性低空风系的影响,以尘暴的形式搬运沉积。青海湖湖东地区的环境演化过程可划分为4个阶段:(1)末次冰期间冰阶阶段(32~23.2 ka BP),气候整体较湿润,风沙活动较弱;(2)末次冰期冰盛期阶段(23.2~15.8 ka BP),气候冷偏干,风沙活动增强;(3)末次冰期冰消期阶段(15.8~9.5 ka BP),气候仍以冷偏干为主,冷暖波动,但存在小幅度升温;(4)全新世阶段(9.5 ka BP以来),早期转暖、中期最暖、晚期转凉,气候波动显著。展开更多
