Abstract The edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is characterized by high topographic relief, significant tectonic motion, extreme precipitation, and densely populated active debris flow gullies. It is essential to scientifically categorize the debris flow gullies to understand their mechanisms, prevent and mitigate debris flow disasters, and find out strategies to restore the ecology. The present study carried out topographical measurements and statistical analyses of seven regions on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in which active debris flow gullies are concentrated. The debris flow gullies are classified into three types by means of nonmetric multidimensional scaling. Type I is formed by rainstorms in exposed bedrock areas, Type II is formed by glaciers in exposed bedrock areas, and Type III is formed by rainstorms in depositional basins. The variation in landforms of the three types is analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis tests. The sources of loose material and the characteristics of water flow and sediment transport in all the three types of debris flow gullies are discussed from the aspects of geology, topography, and climate. It is shown that the activity of Type II increases along with the warming of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the activities of types I and III increase along with the frequency of extreme rainfalls. Keywords:Qinghai-Tibet Plateau;categorization of debris flow gullies;nonmetric multidimensional scaling;Kruskal-Wallis test

DOI:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.136452URLPMID:31931203 [本文引用: 1] Debris flows are one of the most hazardous types of landslides in mountain regions. In the upper part of the Zezere valley (Serra da Estrela, Portugal) several debris flows events occurred in the last 200 years, some of them causing loss of lives and material damages. In this work, a methodology for pedestrian evacuation modelling, in a debris flow hazard scenario, was implemented. A dynamic run-out model, developed in previous studies, was used to evaluate the debris flows velocities, thickness of the deposits and extent of the mobilized material. The buildings potentially affected by the impact of debris flows were identified and the potentially exposed population was estimated by applying a dasymetric distribution. The results lead to the conclusion that, in the study area, the elderly are those who are most exposed to debris flows. Furthermore, the time lapse between the debris flows initiation and the arrival at the buildings at risk was estimated, allowing to account for the overall number of buildings where the evacuation time takes longer than the debris flows arrival. Additionally, the safe areas within the study area were identified, and several safe public buildings with the capacity to gather a large number of persons were selected. Considering that the study area is located in a mountain region, characterized by steep slopes, the evacuation modelling was performed based on an anisotropic approach, in order to consider the influence of slope direction on travel costs. At the end, three pedestrian evacuation travel time scenarios, based on different walking speeds to accommodate residents with different ages in safer places, were compared and the results mapped. The implemented methodology is not local dependent, which allows its reproduction elsewhere.

DOI:10.1023/A:1026579230560URL [本文引用: 1] The useful life of Tarbela reservoir, on the River Indus, is threatened by a sediment delta which is approaching the dam'sintake tunnels; these lead to a hydroelectric power station and are used for irrigation releases. This article describes thesimulated system, involving Tarbela Dam, with Ghazi Barotha hydropower scheme downstream, and the planned construction of Basha Dam upstream. This study formed an innovative approachwhich enabled the relationship between demands and supply in the basin to be studied, under a range of development and operating scenarios, and to different time horizons. A computer software package, 'Hydro', was used to perform systemsimulation modelling of Tarbela Dam and the Upper Indus Basin,Pakistan. The results enabled estimation of the economic benefits of several potential future operating strategies forTarbela to be tested and compared. Employing the results of associated sediment modelling, projected storage/elevation curves were used to predict the irrigation and power benefitsavailable to Pakistan over the coming sixty years. It wassubsequently demonstrated that the most beneficial remedial measures are an underwater dike or dam to protect the intakes,and low-level flushing facilities.]]>
