三峡库区奉节-云阳的低阶地与地壳运动、河谷深槽与古洪水的新解释

前人对三峡工程库区地壳运动与阶地类型的研究结果认为是间歇性抬升和基座阶地。文章从滑坡研究入手,对奉节白衣庵滑坡前沿深切古河湾中保存良好阶地的第四纪不同岩性沉积物的沉积关系、沉积年代、沉积气候等进行了重点研究;对云阳宝塔—鸡扒子滑坡及其附近的汤溪河口阶地与类型、阶（台）地沉积关系、沉积年代与成因、岩性等进行了对比分析;另外,对奉节白衣庵和云阳宝塔—鸡扒子两滑坡与河谷发育、深切河槽的发育关系、形成时代进行了讨论;同时还对旧县坪、故陵滑坡的发生年龄与其上阶地进行了分析。研究结果表明,峡区西云阳—奉节一带T₁和T₂阶地均为内叠（嵌入）阶地,地壳运动在最近50万年期间有4次上升,3次下降,在总体呈上升的背景下,近12万年期间升降幅度较前降低,频度则增加。此外,还讨论了与地壳运动、阶地形成有关的滑坡与河谷发育关系,发现深切河槽的形成时间是30万年前的MIS9早中期;白衣庵、宝塔、旧县坪等大滑坡均是河谷深槽形成后发生的;证实“40～30kaB·P.的高温大降水”时期是古洪水发生期外,还存在更早期的古洪水沉积。     

渭河宝鸡峡全新世特大洪水水文学研究

通过深入的考察,在渭河宝鸡峡河段发现典型的全新世古洪水滞流沉积地层剖面,并进行了古洪水沉积学和水文学研究。对于采集的序列样品,进行粒度成分、磁化率、烧失量、CaCO₃含量等分析,从沉积学角度证明了剖面上覆盖在古土壤S₀顶部的沉积物为典型的古洪水滞流沉积层。根据其地层结构及其与流域内其他剖面的对比,结合其所含古文化层考古学年代和OSL断代数据等,确定渭河上游在3200～3000aB.P.发生了3次特大洪水事件。利用古水文学原理恢复其水位,并且利用水位-流量关系模型,计算出古洪水洪峰流量为22560～25960m³/s。 这个结果大大延长了洪水水文数据序列,从而能够建立渭河万年尺度洪水流量-频率关系,对于防洪减灾、水能源和水资源开发具有重要的应用价值。该成果揭示出万年尺度大暴雨洪水与气候变化的关系,丰富了全球变化的区域响应理论。     

汉江上游沉积记录的东汉时期古洪水事件考证研究

总结近年来在汉江上游古洪水研究成果的基础之上,采用文献资料分析和洪水模拟计算方法,对汉江上游6个沉积剖面纪录的东汉时期古洪水事件进行了年代考证和洪水模拟计算。结果表明,通过分析文献记载的汉江上游东汉时期洪水影响范围、强度和程度,以及结合洪痕沉积规律,在时间上考证认为这6个沉积剖面记录的东汉时期古洪水事件可能是东汉建安二年（197年）九月的一次特大洪水事件。选取合适的河槽横断面和糙率系数,采用HEC-RAS模型对距离较近的4个沉积面记录的东汉时期古洪水事件进行洪水模拟计算,模拟洪水位与各剖面依据古洪水SWD恢复的洪水位误差在-0.18%~0.25%,而且模拟的1983年洪水位与剖面及其附近发现的1983年洪痕水位误差小于0.25%,说明洪水模拟计算选取的河槽横断面和水文参数准确、可靠,从洪水模拟计算的角度也说明了汉江上游沉积记录的东汉时期古洪水事件可能为一次特大洪水事件。该研究结果不仅延长了汉江上游洪水序列,而且也为汉江上游水利工程建设、水资源管理和防洪减灾等提供重要的水文资料。     

Pool-fills: a window to palaeoflood history and response in bedrock-confined rivers

Channel‐scale sedimentary units associated with bedrock‐controlled riffle‐pool morphology are examined in detail along Sandy Creek gorge, an ephemeral stream in arid south‐eastern central Australia. Pool‐fills comprise cut‐and‐fill assemblages of poorly sorted sediments ranging in texture from muds to boulders. Five unit types are defined based on particle size, sedimentary structures, geometry and bounding surface character: (1) coarse‐grained bar platform; (2) fine‐grained bar supraplatform; (3) fine‐grained pool‐fill; (4) fine‐grained bench; and (5) modern pool‐fill. The last coarse‐grained unit currently lining the pools suggests an altered sedimentation style over the post‐settlement period (post‐ad 1860s). Situated at bedrock valley constrictions, pool‐fills are compared with other sedimentary units associated with recirculating currents: eddy bars and slackwater deposits. But only the fine‐grained bench units reflect eddy recirculation; the pool‐fills are principally forced‐bars associated with bedrock‐controlled or ‘forced’ riffle‐pool morphology. A late Holocene palaeoflood history is proposed based on radiocarbon ages from the pool‐fills: multiple phases of cut‐and‐fill activity were preceded by a superflood 3400–1900 years ago that eroded the pool‐fills to bedrock. The resilience of the pool‐fills was illustrated by the passage of a 1‐in‐100‐year flood in 1992, which caused only minor erosion. The presence of pool‐fills may provide a window to past phases of river activity that cannot be extracted from either historical records/observations or palaeoflood slackwater sediment analyses. The formation and sedimentary preservation potential of these landforms reflect a combination of hydraulic and structural influences, but the occurrence of high‐magnitude floods exerts the dominant control.     

Reconstructing the extraordinary palaeoflood events during 3200-2800 a BP in the upper reaches of Hanjiang River Valley,China

Palaeoflood hydrology study is a leading subject in global change study. Through field investigation in the upper reaches of Hanjiang River, palaeoflood slackwater deposits (SWD) were found in the bedrock gorges of the Yunxi reach. The results of field observation, laboratory analysis including particle-size distribution and magnetic susceptibility, and comparison with modern flood deposits, the SWD were identified as the most typical Holocene palaeoflood deposits of the Hanjiang River. By using stratigraphic correlation and OSL dating method, the palaeoflood event was dated to be 3200-2800 a BP at the turn from the middle to late Holocene. According to the palaeoflood peak stage and hydraulic parameters, the peak discharges of the palaeoflood were reconstructed as 48,830-51,710 m3/s by using the slope-area method. At same time, the flood peak discharges of 1983, 2005 and 2010 severe floods were reconstructed with the same method and hydraulic parameters in the same cross section. The error between the reconstructed and gauged discharges was 1.99%-4.21%. This showed that the reconstructed palaeoflood peak discharges were reliable. The flood peak discharge-frequency relationship at 10,000-year time scale was established by a combination of the gauged flood, historical flood and palaeoflood hydrological data. These results are very important for hydraulic engineering and flood mitigation on the Hanjiang River.

黄河中游漆水河古洪水与环境演变

Palaeoflood hydrological study is a frontal subject of global change study. Using sedimentology, geomorphology and OSL dating methods, the typical palaeoflood slackwater deposits were studied in the Qishuihe River valley. The results showed that five flooding episodes with 21 palaeoflood events occurred during 4300–4250 a B.P., 4250–4190 a B.P., 4190–4100 a B.P., 4100–4000 a B.P. and 3100–3010 a B.P., respectively, during the Holocene period. The palaeoflood peak discharges were calculated with hydrological models. With a combination of the gauged flood, historical flood and palaeoflood hydrological data, the archives of flood events were extended to over 10,000 years in the Qishuihe River valley, and the flood frequency-peak discharge relationship curve was established accurately. These research results played important roles in mitigating flood hazard, hydraulic engineering and also the development of water resources in the semiarid Weihe River basin.     

汉江上游郧县段全新世古洪水滞流沉积物特征

对汉江上游郧县段一级阶地上典型古洪水滞流沉积物、古土壤和黄土3 种不同沉积物的宏观特征、粒度成分、理化性质、微观形态及地球化学元素进行了综合分析对比.结果表明,研究剖面中的古洪水滞流沉积物呈灰黄色(2.5YR7/2),与上下相邻地层往往呈突变关系且界线清晰;粒度组成总体较粗,粉砂质细砂土,分选较好;磁化率稍高于马兰黄土,但显著低于古土壤;烧失量平均值低于黄土和古土壤;石英颗粒表面分布有水下环境机械相撞形成的V形坑;元素的含量及UCC标准化曲线均与黄土和古土壤差异明显.与渭河谷地相比,汉江上游谷地古洪水滞流沉积物具有粒度组成偏粗、分选性稍差的特点.该研究成果对汉江上游谷地古洪水滞流沉积物的鉴别和古洪水水文参数的重建具有重要意义.     

汉江上游郧县五峰段史前大洪水水文学恢复研究

通过深入的野外考察,在汉江上游郧县五峰段多个地点发现全新世古洪水事件的沉积学记录,为恢复史前特大洪水事件的洪峰水位和洪峰流量提供了物质基础。在系统获取河道水文参数的基础上,采用ArcGIS 耦合HEC-RAS模型,推算出其洪峰流量介于42 220~63 400m³/s 之间。对于河槽糙率的灵敏度检验表明,给定糙率变化±25%,模型模拟得到的洪峰流量误差在-10.6%~6.3%之间。这个误差范围远小于采用比降-面积法获得的结果。同时,采用该模型和同样的参数,依据该河段现代大洪水洪痕高程,恢复推算其洪峰流量,其结果与实测数据误差在-3.9%~1.0%之间。与其它方法相比较,这种新方法有效地提高了水文参数选取准确性,使得古洪水水文恢复计算结果更为可靠。本研究为超长尺度大洪水水文学恢复提供了新的途径,也获得了汉江上游万年尺度特大洪水的水文学数据资料,对汉江上游水利水电枢纽工程建设、水资源调度和防洪减灾具有重要的现实意义。     

The historical and palaeoflood record of Katherine river,northern Australia: evaluating the likelihood of extreme discharge events in the context of the 1998 flood

The discharge regimes of the large rivers of northern Australia are characterized by the occurrence of extreme flood events with far‐reaching environmental and societal impacts. In January 1998 the largest flood ever recorded on the Katherine River, northern Australia, resulted in widespread inundation and resultant damage to the town of Katherine. The occurrence of the flood emphasized the unreliability of the then available flood probability estimates and prompted a palaeoflood approach to estimate the recurrence interval of the event. The location of Katherine is ideal for such a study, as the town is located immediately downstream from Katherine Gorge, which provides the necessary bedrock‐confined channel required for such an approach. In addition, previous work in Katherine Gorge had demonstrated that the gorge sections hold suitable deposits for palaeoflood stage reconstruction. The results of the present study show that at least two flow events with discharges similar to the 1998 flood have occurred within the last 600 years, and that high‐magnitude floods are a general feature of the discharge record of the Katherine River over the last c. 2000 years. Furthermore, because the study was undertaken within a few months of the occurrence of the 1998 flood, it provided the opportunity to evaluate the previously obtained flood discharge estimates and draw attention to the general uncertainties associated with palaeoflood studies. Our results emphasize that palaeoflood stage estimates based on slackwater deposits need to be treated as conservative estimates only. More specifically, with respect to the 1998 event, our study demonstrates that the controls of flood peak were more complex than simply flood routing through the gorge sections. It is clear that the areas downstream from Katherine Gorge made an important contribution to the flood peak of the 1998 event. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
