Tibet can be classified as three parts through zoning the danger degree, the mountain canyon high danger zone of east and southeast Tibet, the plateau mountain lake basin and valley middle danger zone of south Tibet, and the Plateau Mountain lake basin low danger zone of south Tibet. This paper takes the debris flow, collapse, landslide as the key points to analyze the distribution characteristics of geological hazards, and analyze the factors which influence the distribution of geological hazards, such as terrain landform, formation lithology, geologic structure pattern, precipitation, earthquake, human activity and so on. finally, as a conclusion., in whole Tibet, the geological hazards are more in southeast than in northwest, more in mountainous area which in the edge of plateau and river valley than in the interior of plateau and lake basin. And most hazards distribute in the regions where human activity is stronger than in other regions, for example towns or strips along the highway.展开更多

One occurred along the active fault zone in the central Longmen Mts. and the other in the front of Longmen Mts. The length of which is more than 270 kin and about 80 km respectively. The co-seismic fault shows a reverse flexure belt with strike of N45°-60°E in the ground, which caused uplift at its northwest side and subsidence at the southeast. The fault face dips to the northwest with a dip angle ranging from 50° to 60°. The vertical offset of the co-seismic fault ranges 2.5-3.0 m along the Yingxiu- Beichuan co-seismic fault, and 1.5-1.1 m along the Doujiangyan-Hanwang fault. Movement of the coseismic fault presents obvious segmented features along the active fault zone in central Longmen Mts. For instance, in the section from Yingxiu to Leigu town, thrust without evident slip occurred; while from Beichuan to Qingchuan, thrust and dextral strike-slip take place. Main movement along the front Longmen Mts. shows thrust without slip and segmented features. The area of earthquake intensity more than IX degree and the distribution of secondary geological hazards occurred along the hanging wall of co-seismic faults, and were consistent with the area of aftershock, and its width is less than 40km from co-seismic faults in the hanging wall. The secondary geological hazards, collapses, landslides, debris flows et al., concentrated in the hanging wall of co-seismic fault within 0-20 km from co-seismic fault.展开更多

The violent form of this contradiction is geological disasters. Geological disasters pose a threat to human life and property, and cause damage caused by natural or human factors, often causing casualties. The destruction process of geological disasters is usually a gradual process, showing many pre-disaster symptoms, such as local landslides, surface cracks, building deformation, tree skew, and ground sound. Evacuation can be avoided in advance according to the disaster precursors, so as to avoid casualties and achieve successful prediction. By reviewing the general situation of geological disasters in Shaanxi Province and the casualties in 2020, the difficulties in the prevention and control of geological disasters are summarized. In view of these difficulties, an on-site investigation, visit and analysis of geological disaster points and successful forecast points in Shaanxi Province in 2020 were conducted. In addition, combined with actual cases and years of work experience, the successful prediction experience of geological disasters was discussed from 8 aspects. Finally, the “Regulations on the Reward for Successful Geological Disaster Forecasting in Shaanxi Province” was revised in order to improve the successful prediction ability of geological disasters in Shaanxi Province and even the whole country, provide reference for future prevention and control of geological disasters, and effectively protect the safety of people’s lives and property.展开更多

In dynamics sense, they can be categorized into 5 principal genetic types related to effects of hydraulic dynamics, gaseous activity, soil mechanics, gravity and tectonism, respectively. Integrated analyses indicate that the geological hazards associated with volcanoes, earthquakes and fractures are mainly distributed in tectonically active regions, whereas those resulting from mudflows, landslides and diapirs are usually concentrated in the region of slope, that shallow gas, high pressure gas pockets and soft intercalations are major potential geological hazards in the inner shelf, and that strong hydraulic dynamics, especially storm tide, is one of the major causes of geological hazards in the littoral areas. The geological hazards that occurred in the South China Sea are also characterized by periodicity, succession and, to a certain extent, unpredictability in addition to regionalization.展开更多

Due to various environmental factors such as hydrogeology, various types of geological disasters are always hidden in the stratum structure. However, people's use of environment and development of resources are also one of the key factors that cause geological disasters. In order to ensure the sustainable development of ecological environment and the scientific utilization of natural resources, effective prevention and control of geological disasters must be carried out. Therefore, in the process of prevention and control work, attention must be paid to the in-depth study of the current potential water source geology and environmental geology hazards, and timely prevention and control of geological disasters through the adoption of targeted measures.

Further combining the dynamic rainfall observations, Logistic regression is used for modeling the probabilities of geological hazard occurrences, upon which hierarchical warnings for rainfall-induced geological hazards are produced. The forecasting and warning model takes numerical precipitation forecasts on grid points as its dynamic input, forecasts the probabilities of geological hazard occurrences on the same grid, and translates the results into likelihoods in the form of a 5-level hierarchy. Validation of the model with observational data for the year 2004 shows that 80% of the geological hazards of the year have been identified as ＂likely enough to release warning messages＂. The model can satisfy the requirements of an operational warning system, thus is an effective way to improve the meteorological warnings for geological hazards.展开更多

However, hydrogeological conditions are closely related to various problems in geological disasters, such as uneven ground settlement, liquefaction of sandy soil, land subsidence, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to use the geological data of water temperature to predict and prevent geological disasters. This paper mainly analyzes the hydrogeological problems, the impact on geological disasters, and discusses the prevention and control measures of local disasters, hoping to provide reference for continuously improving the prevention and control quality of geological disasters in our country.展开更多

This p...China is a mountainous country with highly developed road geologic hazards, which pose a great threat to theconstruction and operation of highways, bridges, and tunnels and to the safety of people and property. This paperdiscussed the types, basic features, formation, and prevention conditions of road geologic hazards in China basedon field research and study data collected thus far. The study considered an urban area of a city in southwestChina as the center and a geological field investigation was performed over a total of 282 km on three importantlifeline projects. The results show: Types of geologic hazards along the highways are mainly avalanches, debrisflows, and landslides, respectively. Among them, the landslips are mainly distributed along the roads, with slip,dumping, and wrong break types as the main ones;the debris flows are widely distributed, mainly concentrated inthe river valleys;and the unstable slopes are relatively few in number. Geological disasters are characterized bylarge-scale and concentrated triggering in time and space, and a single disaster can easily trigger other disasters,thus forming a chain of disasters. Neotectonic movement, seismic activity, topography, climatic conditions,stratigraphic lithology, and human activities are important factors leading to geologic hazards in the study area.This study is of great practical significance for reducing the occurrence of roadbed diseases and prolonging theservice life of highways.展开更多

However, few reports are available that address the geological hazard susceptibility of the region.This study developed six machine learning models to assess the geological hazard susceptibility. The results show that areas with medium and high susceptibility to geological hazards as a whole account for almost 21% of the total area, while both are 18% when it comes to the single hazard of landslide and rockfall respectively. Medium and high geological hazard susceptibility is found in three parts of the HMR with different characteristics:(1)the central and southern parts, where the population of the region concentrates;(2) the northern part, where higher geological hazard susceptibility is found along the mountain ranges;and(3) the junction of Tibet, Yunnan, and Sichuan in the eastern part, which is prone to larger-scale geological hazards. Of all the potential influencing factors,topographic features and climatic variables act as the major driving factors behind geological hazards and elevation,slope, and precipitation are crucial indicators for geological hazard susceptibility assessment. This study developed the geological hazard susceptibility maps of the HMR and provided information for the multi-hazard risk assessment and management of the region.展开更多

It can quickly obtain the three-dimensional(3D) real scene model of dangerous mountainous areas under the premise of ensuring the safety of personnel while restoring the real geographic information as much as possible. However, geological disaster areas are often accompanied by many adverse factors such as cliffs and dense vegetation. Based on this, the paper introduced the flight line design of oblique photogrammetry, analyzed the multi-platform data fusion processing, studied the multi-period data dynamic evaluation technology and proposed the application methods of data acquisition, early warning, disaster assessment and decision management suitable for geological disaster identification through the analysis of actual cases, which will help geologists to plan and control geological work more scientifically and rationally, improve work efficiency and reduce the potential personnel safety hazards in the process of geological survey, to offer technical support to the application of oblique photogrammetry in geological disaster identification and decision making and provide the scientific basis for personal and property safety protection and later-stage geological disaster management in disaster areas.展开更多

文摘In China,many geological hazards occurred in remote mountainous regions,and it was time-consuming to disseminate disaster information for the responsible parties to make timely judgements.Besides,only relying on professionals to monitor and manage disasters was demanding and costly.The Chinese government created a system to engage residents in the process of disaster risk management,namely’Public Participation Monitoring and Warning’(PPMW),to disseminate timely disaster information and bring down management costs.The objective of this system was to reduce casualties with minimum cost by organizing residents to evacuate from disasters in advance.This paper introduced the PPMW system,including its structure,operation mechanism by reviewing government documents and research articles,and its implementation by a case study of a landslide at Boli village(E 101°01’,N 27°29’),Yanyuan County,Sichuan Province,China on July 19th 2018.Further,this paper analyzed the strengths and limitations of the system and discussed its future development.It had the potential to become an affordable disaster risk management tool for other countries facing similar situations to China.

文摘Geological disasters have posed a great threat to the safety of people's lives and property, and also restricted the harmonious development of society. However, hydrogeological conditions are closely related to various problems in geological disasters, such as uneven ground settlement, liquefaction of sandy soil, land subsidence, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to use the geological data of water temperature to predict and prevent geological disasters. This paper mainly analyzes the hydrogeological problems, the impact on geological disasters, and discusses the prevention and control measures of local disasters, hoping to provide reference for continuously improving the prevention and control quality of geological disasters in our country.

文摘China is a mountainous country with highly developed road geologic hazards, which pose a great threat to theconstruction and operation of highways, bridges, and tunnels and to the safety of people and property. This paperdiscussed the types, basic features, formation, and prevention conditions of road geologic hazards in China basedon field research and study data collected thus far. The study considered an urban area of a city in southwestChina as the center and a geological field investigation was performed over a total of 282 km on three importantlifeline projects. The results show: Types of geologic hazards along the highways are mainly avalanches, debrisflows, and landslides, respectively. Among them, the landslips are mainly distributed along the roads, with slip,dumping, and wrong break types as the main ones;the debris flows are widely distributed, mainly concentrated inthe river valleys;and the unstable slopes are relatively few in number. Geological disasters are characterized bylarge-scale and concentrated triggering in time and space, and a single disaster can easily trigger other disasters,thus forming a chain of disasters. Neotectonic movement, seismic activity, topography, climatic conditions,stratigraphic lithology, and human activities are important factors leading to geologic hazards in the study area.This study is of great practical significance for reducing the occurrence of roadbed diseases and prolonging theservice life of highways.

文摘The Hengduan Mountains Region(HMR) is one of the areas that experience the most frequent geological hazards in China. However, few reports are available that address the geological hazard susceptibility of the region.This study developed six machine learning models to assess the geological hazard susceptibility. The results show that areas with medium and high susceptibility to geological hazards as a whole account for almost 21% of the total area, while both are 18% when it comes to the single hazard of landslide and rockfall respectively. Medium and high geological hazard susceptibility is found in three parts of the HMR with different characteristics:(1)the central and southern parts, where the population of the region concentrates;(2) the northern part, where higher geological hazard susceptibility is found along the mountain ranges;and(3) the junction of Tibet, Yunnan, and Sichuan in the eastern part, which is prone to larger-scale geological hazards. Of all the potential influencing factors,topographic features and climatic variables act as the major driving factors behind geological hazards and elevation,slope, and precipitation are crucial indicators for geological hazard susceptibility assessment. This study developed the geological hazard susceptibility maps of the HMR and provided information for the multi-hazard risk assessment and management of the region.

文摘To investigate geological mining hazards using digital techniques such as highresolution remote sensing,a semi-automatically geological mining hazards extraction method is proposed based on the case of the Shijiaying coal mine,located in Fangshan District,Beijing,China.In the method,the vegetation is first removed using the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)on the GeoEye-1 data.Then,geological mining hazards interpretation features are determined after color enhancement using principal component analysis(PCA)transformation.Bitmaps mainly covered by geological mining hazards are isolated by masking operation in the environment for visualizing images software.Next,each bitmap is classified into a two-valued imagery using support vector machine algorithm.In the two-valued imagery,1 denotes the geological mining hazards,while 0 denotes none.Afterwards,the two-valued imagery is converted into a vector graph by corresponding functions in the ArcGIS software and no geological mining hazards regions in the vector graph are deleted manually.Finally,the correlation between factors(such as mining activity,lithology,geological structure,and slope)and geological mining hazards is analyzed using a logistic regression and a hazardous-area forecasting model is built.The results of field verification show that the accuracy of the geological mining hazards extraction method is 98.1%and the results of the hazardous-area forecasting indicate that the logistic regression is an effective model in assessing geological hazard risks and that mining activity is the main contributing factor to the hazards,while geological structure,slope,lithology,roughness of the surface,and aspect are the secondary.

文摘With the continuous development of the oblique photography technique, it has been used more and more widely in the field of geological disasters. It can quickly obtain the three-dimensional(3D) real scene model of dangerous mountainous areas under the premise of ensuring the safety of personnel while restoring the real geographic information as much as possible. However, geological disaster areas are often accompanied by many adverse factors such as cliffs and dense vegetation. Based on this, the paper introduced the flight line design of oblique photogrammetry, analyzed the multi-platform data fusion processing, studied the multi-period data dynamic evaluation technology and proposed the application methods of data acquisition, early warning, disaster assessment and decision management suitable for geological disaster identification through the analysis of actual cases, which will help geologists to plan and control geological work more scientifically and rationally, improve work efficiency and reduce the potential personnel safety hazards in the process of geological survey, to offer technical support to the application of oblique photogrammetry in geological disaster identification and decision making and provide the scientific basis for personal and property safety protection and later-stage geological disaster management in disaster areas.
