Abstract. The difficulties of measuring bedload transport in gravel-bed rivers have given rise to the morphological method wherein sediment transport can be inferred from changes in riverbed elevation and estimates of the distance traveled by sediment: its path length. Because current methods for estimating path length are time- and labor-intensive, we present a method to estimate a characteristic path length from repeat digital elevation models (DEMs of difference, i.e., DoDs). We propose an automated method to extract the spacing between erosional and depositional sites on the DoD by the application of variational mode decomposition (VMD), a signal processing method, to quantify the spacing as a proxy for path length. We developed this method using flume experiments where bed topography and sediment flux were measured and then applied it to published field data with physical path length measured from tracer measurements. Our sediment transport estimates were not significantly different than the measured sediment flux at lower discharges in the lab. However, we observed an underestimation of sediment flux at the higher discharges in the flume study. We interpret this as a limit of the method in confined settings, where sediment transport becomes decoupled from morphological changes. We also explore how the time between survey acquisitions, the morphological active width relative to the channel width, and DoD thresholding techniques affect the proposed method and the potential issues they pose for the morphological method in general.
摘要由于难以测量砾石床河流中的床面负荷迁移量,因此产生了一种形态学方法,即通过河床高程的变化和沉积物移动距离的估算(即路径长度)来推断沉积物的迁移量。由于目前估算路径长度的方法耗时耗力,我们提出了一种从重复数字高程模型(DEMs of difference,即 DoDs)中估算特征路径长度的方法。我们提出了一种自动方法,通过应用信号处理方法变异模态分解(VMD)来提取差异数字高程模型上侵蚀点和沉积点之间的间距,从而量化间距作为路径长度的替代值。我们利用测量床面地形和沉积通量的水槽实验开发了这一方法,然后将其应用于通过示踪测量测量物理路径长度的已公布实地数据。我们的沉积物输运估算值与实验室测量的较低排水量下的沉积物通量没有明显差异。不过,在水槽研究中,我们观察到较高排水量下的沉积物通量被低估了。我们将此解释为该方法在封闭环境中的局限性,在这种环境中,沉积物运移与形态变化脱钩。我们还探讨了勘测采集之间的时间间隔、形态活动宽度与河道宽度的相对关系以及 DoD 临界值技术对拟议方法的影响,以及它们对一般形态学方法造成的潜在问题。

Abstract. Incision rates of major rivers may reflect the effects of drainage reorganization, hillslope processes, tectonic uplift, climate, the properties of rocks into which rivers incise, and other autogenic processes. On the Colorado Plateau, incision rates along the Colorado River have been interpreted as resulting from abrupt base-level changes produced by the integration of the Colorado River system. Specifically, the integration of the Colorado River in the location of Grand Canyon is thought to have created a knickpoint, enhanced by lithologic contrasts, which is retreating upstream. While evidence exists for a <1 Ma acceleration of incision on parts of the Colorado River, uncertainty about the processes reflected in shorter-term incision rates muddies comparison with longer-term averages. In this work, we combine a cosmogenic radionuclide depth profile exposure age and post-Infrared Infrared Stimulated Luminescence (p-IR IRSL) to date fluvial deposits adjacent to the San Juan River, a major tributary of the Colorado River, near Mexican Hat, Utah. The deposits, resting on a 32 m strath surface, are constrained to be ∼28–40 ka, suggesting an incision rate of 804–1151 m Myr-1, nearly an order of magnitude higher than the long-term rate of ∼140 m Myr-1 over the past ∼1.2 Ma. We observe fluvial deposits that were abandoned due to a bedrock meander cutoff, which partially explains our accelerated incision rate. We use a simple geometric model, informed by our field data, to demonstrate how planform river evolution may, in some circumstances, increase short-term incision rates, relative to long-term incision rates. These short-term rates may also reflect a combination of autocyclic and climatic processes, which limits their ability to resolve longer-term changes in incision rate that may be related to changes in base-level or tectonics.
摘要主要河流的切入率可能反映了排水系统重组、山坡过程、构造隆起、气候、河流切入岩石的特性以及其他自生过程的影响。在科罗拉多高原,科罗拉多河沿岸的切入率被解释为科罗拉多河水系整合所产生的突然基底变化所致。具体来说,科罗拉多河在大峡谷位置的汇合被认为形成了一个因岩性对比而增强的节理点,该节理点正在向上游后退。虽然有证据表明科罗拉多河的部分河段在 1 亿年前加速了侵蚀,但短期侵蚀速率所反映的过程的不确定性使得与长期平均侵蚀速率的比较变得模糊不清。在这项研究中,我们结合了宇宙放射性核素深度剖面暴露年龄和后红外激发发光法(p-IR IRSL),对犹他州墨西哥帽附近科罗拉多河主要支流圣胡安河附近的河流沉积物进行了年代测定。这些沉积物位于 32 米长的地层表面,年代为 28-40 ka,表明侵蚀速率为 804-1151 m Myr-1,比过去 1.2 Ma 的长期侵蚀速率 140 m Myr-1 高出近一个数量级。我们观察到由于基岩河曲断裂而被遗弃的河道沉积,这部分解释了我们的加速侵蚀速率。我们利用一个简单的几何模型,并结合我们的实地数据,证明了在某些情况下,相对于长期侵蚀速率,平面河流的演化可能会增加短期侵蚀速率。这些短期速率也可能反映了自循环和气候过程的综合作用,这限制了它们解决可能与基底或构造变化有关的长期侵蚀速率变化的能力。

A numerical model for duricrust formation by water table fluctuations 地下水位波动形成硬壳的数值模型

Abstract. Duricrusts are hard elemental layers forming in climatically contrasted environments. Ferricretes (or iron duricrusts) are a type of duricrust, made of indurated iron layers. They form in tropical to semi-arid environments, but can be currently observed all around the world, in areas such as Africa, South America, India, and Australia. In most cases, they cap hills and appear to protect softer layers beneath. Two hypotheses have been proposed for the formation of duricrusts, i.e., the hydrological or horizontal model where the enrichment in the hardening element (iron for ferricretes) is the product of leaching and precipitation through the beating of the water table during contrasted seasonal cycles, and the laterisation or vertical model, where the formation of iron duricrusts is the final stage of laterisation. In this article, we present the first numerical model for the formation of iron duricrusts based on the hydrological hypothesis. The model is an extension to an existing regolith formation model where the position of the water table is used to predict the formation of a hardened layer at a rate set by a characteristic time scale τ and over a depth set by the beating range of the water table, λ. Hardening causes a decrease in surface erodibility, which we introduce in the model as a dimensionless factor κ that multiplies the surface transport coefficient of the model. Using the model we show under which circumstances duricrusts form by introducing two dimensionless numbers that combine the model parameters (λ and τ) as well as parameters representing external forcing like precipitation rate and uplift rate. We demonstrate that by using model parameter values obtained by independent constraints from field observations, hydrology and geochronology, the model predictions reproduce the observed conditions for duricrust formation. We also show that there exists a strong feedback from duricrust formation on the shape of the regolith and the position of the water table. Finally we demonstrate that the commonly accepted view that, because they are commonly found at the top of hills, duricrusts protect elements of the landscape is most likely an over-interpretation and that caution must be taken before using duricrusts as markers of uplift and/or base level falls.
摘要硬壳是在气候反差较大的环境中形成的坚硬元素层。铁锈岩(或铁硬壳岩)是硬壳岩的一种,由硬化的铁层组成。它们形成于热带至半干旱环境中,但目前在世界各地,如非洲、南美洲、印度和澳大利亚都能观察到。在大多数情况下,它们覆盖在山丘上,似乎保护着下面较软的地层。关于坚硬岩壳的形成有两种假说,一种是水文或水平模式,即硬化元素(铁锈岩中的铁)的富集是在对比强烈的季节周期中通过地下水位的跳动浸出和沉淀的产物;另一种是后期化或垂直模式,即铁质坚硬岩壳的形成是后期化的最后阶段。在本文中,我们首次提出了基于水文假设的铁质硬壳形成数值模型。该模型是对现有岩石形成模型的扩展,利用地下水位的位置来预测硬化层的形成,其速率由特征时间尺度 τ 设定,深度由地下水位的跳动范围 λ 设定。硬化会导致地表侵蚀性降低,我们在模型中引入了一个无量纲因子 κ,该因子与模型的地表传输系数相乘。我们在模型中引入了两个无量纲数字,将模型参数(λ 和 τ)以及降水率和隆起率等代表外部作用力的参数结合在一起,从而说明在什么情况下会形成硬壳。我们证明,通过使用从实地观测、水文和地质年代学中获得的独立约束条件所得到的模型参数值,模型预测结果再现了所观测到的硬壳形成条件。我们还证明,硬壳的形成对碎屑岩的形状和地下水位的位置有很强的反馈作用。最后,我们证明了人们普遍接受的观点,即由于它们通常出现在山顶,所以硬壳岩保护了地貌要素,这很可能是一种过度解读,在使用硬壳岩作为隆起和/或基底下降的标志之前必须谨慎。

Abstract. The interplay between climate-forced sea level change, erosional and depositional processes, and flexural isostasy in deep time on passive margin deltas remains poorly understood. We performed a series of conceptual simulations to investigate flexural isostatic responses to high-frequency fluctuations in water and sediment load associated with climatically driven sea level changes. We model a large drainage basin that discharges to a continental margin and produces a large deltaic depocenter, then prescribe synthetic and climatic-driven sea level curves of different frequencies to assess flexural response. Results show that flexural isostatic responses are bidirectional over 100–1000 kyr timescales and are in sync with the magnitude, frequency, and direction of sea level fluctuations and that isostatic adjustments play an important role in driving along-strike and cross-shelf river mouth migration and sediment accumulation. Our findings demonstrate that climate-forced sea level changes produce a feedback mechanism that results in self-sustaining creation of accommodation into which sediment is deposited and plays a major role in delta morphology and stratigraphic architecture.
摘要人们对被动边缘三角洲的气候驱动海平面变化、侵蚀和沉积过程以及深时挠曲等静力之间的相互作用仍然知之甚少。我们进行了一系列概念模拟,以研究挠曲等静压对与气候驱动的海平面变化相关的水和沉积物负荷高频波动的响应。我们模拟了一个向大陆边缘排水并产生大型三角洲沉积中心的大型排水流域,然后设定了不同频率的合成海平面曲线和气候驱动的海平面曲线,以评估挠曲响应。结果表明,在 100-1000 千年的时间尺度上,挠曲等静力响应是双向的,与海平面波动的幅度、频率和方向是同步的,等静力调整在驱动沿岸和跨大陆架河口迁移和沉积物堆积方面发挥了重要作用。我们的研究结果表明,由气候引起的海平面变化产生了一种反馈机制,导致沉积物沉积的自持性容积的形成,并在三角洲形态和地层结构中发挥了重要作用。

Abstract. Chemical weathering of sedimentary rocks can release carbon dioxide (CO2) and consume oxygen (O2) via the oxidation of petrogenic organic carbon and sulfide minerals. These pathways govern Earth's surface system and climate over geological timescales, but the present-day weathering fluxes and their environmental controls are only partly constrained due to a lack of in situ measurements. Here, we investigate the gaseous exchange of CO2 and O2 during the oxidative weathering of black shales and marls exposed in the French southern Alps. On six field trips over 1 year, we use drilled headspace chambers to measure the CO2 concentrations in the shallow critical zone and quantify CO2 fluxes in real time. Importantly, we develop a new approach to estimate the volume of rock that contributes CO2 to a chamber, and assess effective diffusive gas exchange, by first quantifying the mass of CO2 that is stored in a chamber and connected rock pores. Both rock types are characterized by similar contributing rock volumes and diffusive movement of CO2. However, CO2 emissions differed between the rock types, with yields over rock outcrop surfaces (inferred from the contributing rock volume and the local weathering depths) ranging on average between 73 and 1108 tCkm-2yr-1 for black shales and between 43 and 873 tCkm-2yr-1 for marls over the study period. Having quantified diffusive processes, chamber-based O2 concentration measurements are used to calculate O2 fluxes. The rate of O2 consumption increased with production of CO2, and with increased temperature, with an average O2:CO2 molar ratio of 10:1. If O2 consumption occurs by both rock organic carbon oxidation and carbonate dissolution coupled to sulfide oxidation, either an additional O2 sink needs to be identified or significant export of dissolved inorganic carbon occurs from the weathering zone. Together, our findings refine the tools we have to probe CO2 and O2 exchange in rocks at Earth's surface and shed new light on CO2 and O2 fluxes, their drivers, and the fate of rock-derived carbon.
摘要沉积岩的化学风化作用可释放二氧化碳(CO2),并通过岩石有机碳和硫化物矿物的氧化作用消耗氧气(O2)。这些途径在地质时间尺度上控制着地球表面系统和气候,但由于缺乏现场测量,目前的风化通量及其环境控制只能得到部分约束。在这里,我们研究了暴露在法国阿尔卑斯山南部的黑色页岩和泥灰岩氧化风化过程中二氧化碳和氧气的气体交换。在历时一年的六次实地考察中,我们使用钻孔顶空气室测量了浅临界区的二氧化碳浓度,并对二氧化碳通量进行了实时量化。重要的是,我们开发了一种新方法,通过首先量化储存在腔室和相连岩石孔隙中的二氧化碳质量,来估算向腔室提供二氧化碳的岩石体积,并评估有效的气体扩散交换。这两种岩石类型的特征都是具有相似的岩石贡献量和二氧化碳扩散运动。然而,不同类型岩石的二氧化碳排放量却不尽相同,在研究期间,岩石露头表面的二氧化碳排放量(根据成岩体积和局部风化深度推断)平均为:黑页岩 73 至 1108 吨二氧化碳/年,泥灰岩 43 至 873 吨二氧化碳/年。在对扩散过程进行量化之后,利用基于室的氧气浓度测量来计算氧气通量。随着二氧化碳的产生和温度的升高,O2 的消耗速率也在增加,平均 O2:CO2 摩尔比为 10:1。如果岩石有机碳氧化和碳酸盐溶解加上硫化物氧化都会消耗氧气,那么要么需要找到额外的氧气汇,要么风化带会大量输出溶解的无机碳。总之,我们的研究结果完善了地球表面岩石中二氧化碳和氧气交换的探测工具,并为二氧化碳和氧气通量、其驱动因素以及岩石衍生碳的命运提供了新的线索。

Influence of cohesive clay on wave–current ripple dynamics captured in a 3D phase diagram 三维相图中捕捉到的粘性粘土对波流波纹动力学的影响

Abstract. Wave–current ripples that develop on seabeds of mixed non-cohesive sand and cohesive clay are commonplace in coastal and estuarine environments. While laboratory research on ripples forming in these types of mixed-bed environments is relatively limited, it has identified deep cleaning, the removal of clay below the ripple troughs, as an important factor controlling ripple development. New large-scale flume experiments seek to address this sparsity in data by considering two wave–current conditions with initial clay content, C0, ranging from 0 % to 18.3 %. The experiments record ripple development and pre- and post-experiment bed clay contents to quantify clay winnowing. The present experiments are combined with previous wave-only, wave–current, and current-only experiments to produce a consistent picture of larger and smaller flatter ripples over a range of wave–current conditions and C0.

摘要在沿海和河口环境中,由非粘性沙和粘性粘土混合组成的海床上形成的波流涟漪很常见。虽然对在这类混床环境中形成的波纹的实验室研究相对有限,但研究发现深层清洁(即去除波纹槽以下的粘土)是控制波纹发展的一个重要因素。新的大型水槽实验试图通过考虑初始粘土含量(C0)从 0% 到 18.3% 不等的两种波流条件来解决数据稀缺的问题。实验记录了波纹的发展和实验前后的床层粘土含量,以量化粘土绞碎情况。本实验与之前的纯波浪、波浪-海流和纯海流实验相结合,得出了在一定范围的波浪-海流条件和 C0 条件下,波纹由大变小、由扁平变平的一致结果。具体来说,实验结果表明,当 C0 > 10.6 % 时,波纹陡度突然下降,这可能与水导率下降了 3 个数量级有关。当 C0 > 7.4 % 时,伴随着陡度的突然变化,波长随 C0 的变化呈线性逐渐减小。最终,在 C0 值最高的情况下,床面保持平坦,但粘土绞碎仍在发生,尽管绞碎率比波纹床低 2 个数量级。在给定流量下,波纹在平坦床面首次出现的起始时间随 C0 的增加而增加。这一点,再加上床面在最高 C0 值时保持平整这一事实,表明运动阈值随 C0 的增加而增加。推断出的阈值增强以及大波纹和小波纹的出现,被用来构建涉及波浪和水流希尔兹参数以及 C0 的新的海床特征三维相图,这对形态动力学建模具有重要意义。

Wave–current ripples that develop on seabeds of mixed non-cohesive sand and cohesive clay are commonplace in coastal and estuarine environments. While laboratory research on ripples forming in these types of mixed-bed environments is relatively limited, it has identified deep cleaning, the removal of clay below the ripple troughs, as an important factor controlling ripple development. New large-scale flume experiments seek to address this sparsity in data by considering two wave–current conditions with initial clay content, C0, ranging from 0 % to 18.3 %. The experiments record ripple development and pre- and post-experiment bed clay contents to quantify clay winnowing.

Abstract. Massive sediment pulses in catchments are a key alpine multi-risk component. Substantial sediment redistribution in alpine catchments frequently causes flooding, river erosion, and landsliding and affects infrastructure such as dam reservoirs as well as aquatic ecosystems and water quality. While systematic rock slope failure inventories have been collected in several countries, the subsequent cascading sediment redistribution is virtually unaccessed. For the first time, this contribution reports the massive sediment redistribution triggered by the multi-stage failure of more than 130 000 m3 from the Hochvogel dolomite peak during the summer of 2016. We applied change detection techniques to seven 3D-coregistered high-resolution true orthophotos and digital surface models (DSMs) obtained through digital aerial photogrammetry later optimized for precise volume calculation in steep terrain. The analysis of seismic information from surrounding stations revealed the temporal evolution of the cliff fall. We identified the proportional contribution of > 600 rockfall events (> 1 m3) from four rock slope catchments with different slope aspects and their volume estimates. In a sediment cascade approach, we evaluated erosion, transport, and deposition from the rock face to the upper channelized erosive debris flow channel, then to the widened dispersive debris flow channel, and finally to the outlet into the braided sediment-supercharged Jochbach river. We observe the decadal flux of more than 400 000 m3 of sediment, characterized by massive sediment waves that (i) exhibit reaction times of 0–4 years in response to a cliff fall sediment input and relaxation times beyond 10 years. The sediment waves (ii) manifest with faster response times of 0–2 years in the upper catchment and over 2 years in the lower catchments. The entire catchment (iii) undergoes a rapid shift from sedimentary (102–103 mm a−1) to massive erosive regimes (102 mm a−1) within single years, and the massive sediment redistribution (iv) shows limited dependency on rainfall frequency and intensity. This study provides generic information on spatial and temporal patterns of massive sediment pulses in highly sediment-charged alpine catchments.
摘要集水区的大量泥沙脉冲是高山多重风险的关键组成部分。高山集水区的大量沉积物再分布经常会导致洪水、河流侵蚀和滑坡,并影响大坝水库等基础设施以及水生生态系统和水质。虽然一些国家已经收集了系统的岩石斜坡崩塌清单,但对随后的级联沉积物再分布却几乎一无所知。本文首次报告了 2016 年夏季霍赫沃格尔白云岩山峰超过 13 万立方米的多级崩塌引发的大规模沉积物再分布。我们对通过数字航空摄影测量获得的七张三维重建高分辨率真实正射影像图和数字地表模型(DSM)应用了变化检测技术,随后对其进行了优化,以便在陡峭地形中进行精确的体积计算。对周边台站地震信息的分析揭示了悬崖坠落的时间演变过程。我们确定了来自四个不同坡度的岩坡集水区的大于 600 次落石事件(大于 1 立方米)的比例贡献及其体积估算。通过沉积物级联法,我们评估了从岩壁到上部渠化侵蚀性泥石流河道,再到拓宽的分散性泥石流河道,最后到进入辫状沉积物增压的约赫巴赫河出口的侵蚀、迁移和沉积情况。我们观测到十年一次的超过 400 000 立方米的沉积物流量,其特点是巨大的沉积物波浪:(i) 对崖降沉积物输入的反应时间为 0-4 年,弛豫时间超过 10 年。沉积物波 (ii) 在上游集水区的反应时间较快,为 0-2 年,在下游集水区则超过 2 年。整个集水区(iii)在数年内从沉积(102-103 mm a-1)快速转变为大规模侵蚀(102 mm a-1),而大规模沉积物再分布(iv)对降雨频率和强度的依赖性有限。这项研究提供了有关高沉积高山集水区大量泥沙脉冲时空模式的通用信息。

Scaling between volume and runout of rock avalanches explained by a modified Voellmy rheology 用改进的伏尔米流变学解释岩崩体积和冲出量之间的比例关系

Abstract. Rock avalanches reach considerably greater runout lengths than predicted by Coulomb friction. While it has been known for a long time that runout length increases with volume, explaining the increase qualitatively is still a challenge. In this study, the widely used Voellmy rheology is reinterpreted and modified. Instead of adding a Coulomb friction term and a velocity-dependent term, the modified rheology assigns the two terms to different regimes of velocity. While assuming a transition between Coulomb friction and flow at a given velocity is the simplest approach, a reinterpretation of an existing model for the kinetic energy of random particle motion predicts a dependence of the crossover velocity on the thickness of the rock avalanche. Analytical solutions for a lumped mass on a simple 1D topography reveal the existence of a slope-dominated and a height-dominated regime within the regime of flow. In the slope-dominated regime, the kinetic energy at the foot of the slope depends mainly on the slope angle, while the absolute height relative to the valley floor has little effect, and vice versa. Both regimes can be distinguished by the ratio of a length scale derived from the rheology and the length scale of the topography. Long runout occurs in the height-dominated regime. In combination with empirical relations between volume, thickness, and height, the approach based on the random kinetic energy model reproduces the scaling of runout length with volume observed in nature very well.
摘要。岩石崩塌的冲出长度远远大于库仑摩擦力的预测值。虽然人们早就知道崩落长度会随体积的增加而增加,但如何定性地解释这种增加仍然是一个难题。本研究对广泛使用的 Voellmy 流变学进行了重新解释和修改。修改后的流变学不再添加库仑摩擦项和速度相关项,而是将这两个项分配给不同的速度状态。假设在给定速度下库仑摩擦和流动之间的转换是最简单的方法,而对现有随机粒子运动动能模型的重新解释则预测了交叉速度与岩崩厚度的关系。对简单的一维地形上的块状质点的分析解显示,在流动体系中存在坡度主导和高度主导体系。在坡度主导机制中,坡脚处的动能主要取决于坡度角,而相对于谷底的绝对高度影响不大,反之亦然。根据流变学得出的长度尺度与地形的长度尺度之比可以区分这两种状态。在高度占主导地位的情况下,会出现较长的径流。结合体积、厚度和高度之间的经验关系,基于随机动能模型的方法很好地再现了自然界中观察到的流出长度与体积的比例关系。

Abstract. Fluvial drainage patterns in orogenic belts reflect the interaction between tectonics, climate, and lithology. The central South Tian Shan displays a complex fluvial drainage pattern that shifts from longitudinal (flowing parallel to mountain ranges) in the west to transverse (flowing across ranges) in the east. Whether such drainage patterns reflect underlying patterns of tectonic deformation, lithology, climatic changes, or the influence of surface processes within a drainage basin is often unclear. We focus here on the anomalously large Saryjaz catchment of SE Kyrgyzstan, which marks the transition between longitudinal and transverse drainage. We analyse topographic and fluvial metrics including slope, river steepness (ksn) and the integral proxy χ along the river profile, and map the spatial distribution and characteristics of knickpoints to discern the possible controls on the observed drainage pattern. We discriminate between knickpoints of different origin: tectonic, lithologic, glacial, and those linked to transient waves of incision. We find a series of transient knickpoints in tributaries downstream of a sharp 180ᵒ bend in the main stem of the Saryjaz River, which also marks a striking increase in channel steepness. Both observations indicate accelerated incision along this lower reach of the catchment. Knickpoint elevations decrease downstream, whereas incision depth, χ values of knickpoints (measured from the tributary junctions) and ksn values and ratios are constant among tributaries. These results suggest that incision is driven “top-down” by a large-magnitude river-capture event rather than “bottom-up” by base-level fall. We estimate an erodibility parameter from 10Be derived catchment-average denudation rates and use this to estimate the celerity of knickpoints. We find that the knickpoints started retreating at a similar time, between ca. 1.5 and 4.4 Myr ago. Considering the river patterns and the timing constraints, we suggest that this capture event was likely driven by the overfill of Neogene intermontane basins, potentially affected by both tectonic and climate factors.
摘要。造山带的冲积排水模式反映了构造、气候和岩性之间的相互作用。南天山中部显示出复杂的冲积排水模式,从西部的纵向(与山脉平行流动)到东部的横向(跨越山脉流动)。这种排水模式是反映了构造变形、岩性、气候变化的基本模式,还是反映了排水盆地内地表过程的影响,目前还不清楚。在此,我们将重点放在吉尔吉斯斯坦东南部异常大的 Saryjaz 流域,它标志着纵向排水和横向排水之间的过渡。我们分析了地形和河道指标,包括坡度、河流陡度(ksn)和沿河流剖面的积分代用指标χ,并绘制了节理点的空间分布图和特征图,以确定观察到的排水模式的可能控制因素。我们对不同起源的节理点进行了区分:构造节理点、岩性节理点、冰川节理点以及与瞬时切入波相关的节理点。我们在萨里亚兹河主干 180ᵒ急弯下游的支流中发现了一系列瞬时断裂点,这也标志着河道陡度的显著增加。这两项观测结果表明,汇水区下游的河道加速了侵蚀。节理点的海拔高度顺流而下,而切入深度、节理点的χ 值(从支流交界处测量)以及 ksn 值和比率在各支流之间保持不变。这些结果表明,侵蚀是由 "自上而下 "的大尺度河流捕获事件驱动的,而不是由 "自下而上 "的基面下降驱动的。我们根据 10Be 推算出的流域平均剥蚀率估算出一个侵蚀性参数,并以此估算出节理点的速度。我们发现,节理点开始后退的时间相近,大约在 1.5 至 4.4 百万年前。考虑到河流模式和时间限制,我们认为这一捕获事件很可能是由新近纪山间盆地的过度填充驱动的,可能同时受到构造和气候因素的影响。

Abstract. A proper understanding of sediment resuspension and transport processes is key to the morphodynamics of shallow tidal environments. However, a complete spatial and temporal coverage of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) to describe these processes is hardly available, preventing the effective representation of depositional dynamics in long-term modelling approaches. Through aiming to couple erosion and deposition dynamics in a unique synthetic theoretical framework, we here investigate SSC dynamics, following a similar approach to that adopted for erosion (D'Alpaos et al., 2024). The analysis with the peak-over-threshold theory of SSC time series computed using a fully coupled, bi-dimensional model allows us to identify interarrival times, intensities, and durations of over-threshold events and test the hypothesis of modelling SSC dynamics as a Poisson process. The effects of morphological modifications on spatial and temporal SSC patterns are investigated in the Venice Lagoon, for which several historical configurations in the last 4 centuries are available. Our results show that, similar to erosion events, SSC can be modelled as a marked Poisson process in the intertidal flats for all the analysed morphological lagoon configurations because exponentially distributed random variables describe over-threshold events well. Although erosion and resuspension are intimately intertwined, erosion alone does not suffice to describe also SSC because of the non-local dynamics due to advection and dispersion processes. The statistical characterization of SSC events completes the framework introduced for erosion mechanics, and together, they represent a promising tool to generate synthetic, yet realistic, time series of shear stress and SSC for the long-term modelling of tidal environments.
摘要正确理解沉积物的再悬浮和运移过程是浅海潮汐环境形态动力学的关键。然而,用于描述这些过程的悬浮沉积物浓度(SSC)几乎没有完整的时空覆盖范围,这阻碍了长期建模方法对沉积动力学的有效表述。通过在一个独特的合成理论框架中将侵蚀和沉积动力学结合起来,我们在此采用与侵蚀类似的方法研究悬浮沉积动力学(D'Alpaos 等人,2024 年)。利用完全耦合的二维模型计算的 SSC 时间序列的峰值-过阈值理论进行分析,使我们能够确定过阈值事件的到达时间、强度和持续时间,并检验将 SSC 动态模拟为泊松过程的假设。我们在威尼斯泻湖研究了形态变化对 SSC 空间和时间模式的影响。我们的研究结果表明,与侵蚀事件类似,在所有分析过的形态泻湖配置中,潮间带滩涂中的 SSC 可被模拟为一个明显的泊松过程,因为指数分布的随机变量能很好地描述超阈值事件。尽管侵蚀和再悬浮密切相关,但由于平流和扩散过程造成的非局部动态,仅靠侵蚀还不足以描述 SSC。对 SSC 事件的统计特征描述完善了侵蚀力学的框架,它们共同构成了一种很有前途的工具,可用于生成合成但真实的剪应力和 SSC 时间序列,用于潮汐环境的长期建模。
