Based on the consultation and analysis of related literature,we can conclude that: firstly,most scholars focus on soil consolidation,while consider little about land use and economic condition. Secondly,foreign scholars usually use crop yields to judge the success of land consolidation,while domestic scholars have been evaluated the quality of consolidated cultivated land synthetically from several aspects,such as soil fertility,soil environmental quality,and farmland infrastructure conditions. Specifically,most of the evaluations are static,and indicators are different. Besides,the quality of consolidated cultivated land is generally low,and it lacks systematic research on technologies for improving quality of cultivated land consolidated from coal mining subsided land. It is concluded that future researches should focus on establishing scientific and feasible evaluation system to realize comparison of quality change in the dynamic course of " undisturbed-subsided-consolidated" cultivated land in coal mining areas,as well as technologies for improving quality of cultivated land consolidated from coal mining subsided land.展开更多

Taking Hanqiao Coal Mine in Xuzhou as an example, this paper introduces a new reclamation method suitable for suhsided land caused by coal mining with high phreatic level in east China. The new method consists of two respects: 1 ) engineering reclamation measure is a non-filled method which mainly applies dredging approach ; 2 ) biological reclamation measure is a high beneficial pattern, which mainly makes use of dikes and ponds. The new engincering and biological measures of reclamation have been used widespreadly in Xuzhou mining area.

We designed a method for predicting/.S factors of a mining subsidence basin, using ana- lytical GIS spatial technology. Using the Huainan mining area as an example, we calculated the modulus of erosion, its volume and classified the grade of soil erosion for both the original area and the subsidence basin. The results show that the maximum modulus of erosion and the volume of erosion of the subsi- dence basin without water logging would increase by 78% and 23% respectively compared with the ori- ginal situation. The edge of the subsidence basin, where the land subsidence was uneven, is subject to the greatest acceleration in soil erosion. In the situation of water logging after subsidence, the maximum modulus of erosion would decrease if the accumulated slope length were reduced. This maximum mod- ulus around the water logged area within the subsidence basin is equal to that without water logging, while the total volume of erosion decreases. Therefore, mining subsidence aggravates soil erosion espe- cially at the edge of basins where water and soil conservation measures should be taken.展开更多

The subsidence area was in a Xuzhou coal mining area that is part of a national land reclamation demonstration area. The significance of the paper is to explain the law of quality changes of reclaimed soil, improve the soil reclamation process and promote the sustainable use of soil in mining areas. In the study, four kinds of soils were collected using four land reclamation methods： coal gangue filling（CGF）, mixed flat reclamation（MFR）, mud pump filling（MPF） and fly ash filling（FAF）; soil from the subsided area（SS） was used as the control. Organic carbon and black carbon on content were determined by elemental analysis, potassium dichromate titration and other methods. The result shows that reclamation methods do have an influence on the organic carbon and black carbon content in subsidence soil. The content of organic carbon and black carbon at different soil depths varies the most in FAF. Regression analysis of black carbon and organic carbon contents from the four different reclamation methods show that the levels are significant in all cases. Therefore, there is no obvious relationship between the proportion of black carbon and the accumulation of organic carbon in the study area.展开更多

文摘The North China Plain is vital hub for agricultural production and urban development.However,decades of excessive groundwater extraction have resulted on significant land subsidence,posing severe threats to the region's socio-economic stability and sustainable development.The relationship between land deformation and groundwater storage Anomalies in this region remains insufficiently understood,and the driving factors behind land subsidence require further exploration.This study employs downscaled GRACE and SBAS InSAR technologies to monitor and analyze land subsidence and groundwater storage Anoma-lies in four representative cities of the North China Plain:Beijing,Tianjin,Cangzhou,and Hengshui.Using geodetector methods,the study investigates the driving factors of land subsidence,incorporating both natu-ral environmental and human activity factors.The results indicate that:(1)Groundwater storage in the North China Plain generally exhibited an overall declining trend from 2002 to 2022,with the rate of decrease weakening from southwest to northeast,showing a clear spatial clustering pattern.(2)While,land subsidence rates in the main urban areas of each city were relatively low,severe subsidence persisted in the surrounding suburban and rural areas.(3)The temporal trends of land subsidence were consistent with changes in groundwater storage across all cities.(4)Groundwater storage Anomalies emerged as the most significant factor influencing the spatial distribution of land subsidence,with a q-value of 0.387,followed by factors such as DEM,evapotranspiration,and rainfall.Seasonal characteristics were evident in land deformation corresponding to groundwater storage Anomalies:During the spring and summer irrigation periods,land subsidence occurred due to groundwater depletion,while in autumn and winter,the surface uplifted with increased groundwater storage.In Cangzhou and Hengshui,excessive deep groundwater extraction caused a lagged response in land subsidence relative to groundwater storage Anomalies.Further-more,interaction among various factors significantly amplified their influence on land subsidence.The interaction between groundwater storage Anomalies and rainfall had the strongest combined effect,under-scoring its critical role in shaping land subsidence in the study area.The findings offer valuable insights for the scientific prevention and management of land subsidence in the North China Plain.

文摘The expansion of construction land on slopes in mountainous cities like Lanzhou has addressed the shortage of flat land but compromised slope stability,leading to uneven land subsidence and risks to infrastructure.This study assessed the land subsidence before and after urban expansion in five areas of Lanzhou by using slope spectrum construction method and gradient expansion intensity measurement that integrated with SBAS-InSAR technology.The results show that construction land on slopes over 20°increased significantly,accounting for 16%of new construction land.The average slope spectrum index was 4.02,with the upper slope limit rising by 8.2°.The land subsidence rate threshold increased by 10 mm/a,and the proportion of pixels experiencing subsidence greater than 5 mm/year rose from 3.63%to 5.24%.Increased construction intensity on slopes caused higher and faster subsidence,which diminished with greater distance from the expansion areas.Areas with slopes between 10°and 25°saw the greatest acceleration in subsidence.Geological composition,building density,groundwater exploitation,and cut-and-fill thickness collectively influence land subsidence rates.This study provides a scientific basis for mitigating geological disaster risks and promoting safe urban development in mountainous cities.
文摘Population growth leads to increased utilization of water resources.One of these resources is groundwater,which has steadily declined each year.The depletion of these resources brings about various environmental challenges.The present study aimed to explore the relationship between groundwater fluctuations and land subsidence in the Malayer Plain,Iran,focusing on quantifying subsidence resulting from groundwater extraction.Using Sentinel-1 satellite data(2014–2019)and monthly piezometric measurements(1996–2018),the analysis revealed an average deformation velocity of–6.3 cm yr–1,with accumulated subsidence of–32 cm over the 2014–2019 period.The maximum subsidence rate reached 10.3 cm yr–1 in areas of intensive agricultural activity.A wavelet-PCA spatiotemporal analysis of groundwater fluctuations identified critical multi-scale patterns strongly correlated with subsidence trends.Regression analysis between subsidence rates and groundwater fluctuations at various wavelet decomposition levels explained 75%of the variance(R2=0.75),indicating that intermediate-scale groundwater declines were the primary drivers of subsidence.Furthermore,land use analysis using Landsat data(1999–2021)revealed a 6230-ha increase in irrigated farmland,contributing to heightened groundwater extraction and subsidence rates.These findings highlight the critical need for sustainable groundwater management to mitigate the risks of continued subsidence in the region.

文摘Land subsidence significantly impacts the accuracy of the National Elevation Datum in China.In order to solve this issue,a dynamic and economical way was proposed to update the National Elevation Datum with the assistance of InSAR in the North China Plain,which served as the research area.Moreover,the GNSS result was used to correct the InSAR result for the vertical deformation field,which has a relatively unified deformation reference.By integrating the vertical deformation field with the national elevation control point,an analysis and evaluation of changes in the National Elevation Datum were conducted.In addition,a regional remeasurement scheme was formulated to achieve dynamic updates and mainte-nance of the National Elevation Datum on a regional scale.Through data acquisition and processing,we successfully improved reliability within the main subsidence areas for future use.As a result,updating the elevation values utilize a regional update method,and a dynamic and economical technical process to update the National Elevation Datum is shown in the study.

文摘The Small Baseline Subset InSAR(SBAS-InSAR)and unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)as common ocean-land technologies,have been extensively applied in subsidence,glacial movement,surface deformation,and maritime positioning and navigation.A novel method integrating SBAS-InSAR and UAV photogrammetry is used to analyze ground subsidence deformation in the Gesar gold mine located in Maqu,Northwest China.This approach uses SBAS-InSAR to calculate two-dimensional deformation data for capturing ascending and descending measurements.This method can provide precise information on small-sized deformations within mining regions.The deformation data obtained from UAVs and the vertical deformation data derived from InSAR are integrated to generate comprehensive and accurate ground subsidence data from the mining district.Results demonstrate that using a combined InSAR(vertical)and UAV technique to analyze surface subsidence in mining districts resolves inconsistency between the line-of-sight and deformation orientations.Furthermore,the incoherence issue of InSAR in regions with large deformation gradients is addressed,while the inherent errors of UAV monitoring of mining surface subsidence are mitigated.The genetic algorithm(GA)-backpropagation(BP)neural network algorithm is combined with InSAR data to predict subsidence in collapsed areas.As observed,the GA-BP algorithm has the smallest residual under the same training samples.Therefore,the GA-BP neural network model can effectively predict surface subsidence in mining areas and can be used for subsequent subsidence prediction.
文摘Morphologies of deltaic strandplains are the result of multiple sedimentary dynamics interacting with climate,neotectonic and anthropic impacts.They record long-term evolution of coastal areas but also reveal past and present hazards that can be essential to better predict risks in urbanised deltas.This paper aims to identify the effect of a long-term evolution of the prograded plain of the Tiber Delta in using current ground surface variations and geohistorical data.This study applies GIS(Geographic Information System)tools to LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging)-derived DEM(Digital Elevation Model)data combined with stratigraphical data,aerial photography interpretation and old maps.The main outcome shows areas of subsidence are primarily located in the central part of the Tiber Delta.Lower heights at the river mouth are due to subsidence and specific lower morphologies associated with fast progradation phases,while similar low heights just north in the area of the international airport of Rome are due to subsidence alone.Subsidence under the airport is associated with the compaction of the silty clay infill of the Late Pleistocene Tiber Valley mostly deposited during the Holocene transgressive period.Only observed in the airport area,the presence of washover fans and the large extent of paleolagoons reveal the kind of risks that are increased by this subsidence.This study demonstrates that the densely urbanised central part of the Tiber Delta faces higher risks of marine submersion and coastal flooding considering ongoing relative sea level change.It also contributes to show the importance to better characterise past coastal morphologies to identify areas prone to subsidence.

文摘Underground coal mining induces significant surface deformation and environmental damage,particularly in deeply buried mining areas with thin bedrock and thick alluvial layers.Based on the case study of the Zhaogu No.2 coal mine in Xinxiang City,Henan Province,China,this study employs a comprehensive research methodology,integrating field investigations,numerical simulations,and theoretical analyses,to explore the surface subsidence features at deeply buried mining areas with thin bedrock and thick alluvial layers,to reveal the effect of alluvial thickness on the surface subsidence characteristics.The findings indicate that the surface subsidence areas span 4.2 km2 with an advanced influence distance of 540 m.The rate of surface subsidence primarily depends on the panel's position and its advancing rate.Moreover,the thickness of the alluvial layer amplifies both the extent and magnitude of surface deformation.The displacement of overlying rock primarily exhibits a two-stage progression:the thin bedrock control stage and the alluvial control stage.In the thin bedrock control stage,surface subsidence initiates with relatively low subsidence values and amplitudes.Subsequently,in the alluvial control stage,surface subsidence accelerates,leading to a rapid increase in both subsidence values and amplitudes.These characteristics of rock formation displacement result in distinct phases of surface subsidence.Furthermore,the paper addresses the utilization of surface subsidence areas and proposes a method for calculating reservoir storage capacity in these areas.According to calculations,the storage capacity amounts to 1.05e7 m^(3).The research findings provide valuable insights into the surface subsidence laws in regions with similar geological conditions and practical implications for the management and utilization of subsided areas.

文摘Based on a large number of newly added deep well data in recent years,the subsidence of the Ordos Basin in the Mid-Late Triassic is systematically studied,and it is proposed that the Ordos Basin experienced two important subsidence events during this depositional period.Through contrastive analysis of the two stages of tectonic subsidence,including stratigraphic characteristics,lithology combination,location of catchment area and sedimentary evolution,it is proposed that both of them are responses to the Indosinian Qinling tectonic activity on the edge of the craton basin.The early subsidence occurred in the Chang 10 Member was featured by high amplitude,large debris supply and fast deposition rate,with coarse debris filling and rapid subsidence accompanied by rapid accumulation,resulting in strata thickness increasing from northeast to southwest in wedge-shape.The subsidence center was located in Huanxian–Zhenyuan–Qingyang–Zhengning areas of southwestern basin with the strata thickness of 800–1300 m.The subsidence center deviating from the depocenter developed multiple catchment areas,until then,unified lake basin has not been formed yet.Under the combined action of subsidence and Carnian heavy rainfall event during the deposition period of Chang 7 Member,a large deep-water depression was formed with slow deposition rate,and the subsidence center coincided with the depocenter basically in the Mahuangshan–Huachi–Huangling areas.The deep-water sediments were 120–320 m thick in the subsidence center,characterized by fine grain.There are differences in the mechanism between the two stages of subsidence.The early one was the response to the northward subduction of the MianLüe Ocean and intense depression under compression in Qinling during Mid-Triassic.The later subsidence is controlled by the weak extensional tectonic environment of the post-collision stage during Late Triassic.

文摘When the mining goaf is close to the cliff,rock slope subsidence induced by underground mining is significantly affected by its boundary conditions.In this study,an analytical method is proposed by considering the key strata as a semi-infinite Euler-Bernoulli beam rested on a Winkler foundation with a local subsidence area.The analytical solutions of deflection are derived by analyzing the boundary and continuity conditions of the cliff.Then,the analytical solutions are verified by the results from experimental tests,FEM and InSAR,respectively.After that,the influence of changing parameters on deflections is studied with sensitivity analysis.The results show that the distance between goaf and cliff significantly affects the deflection of semi-infinite beam.The response of semi-infinite beam is obviously determined by the length of goaf and the bending stiffness of beam.The comparisons between semi-infinite beam and infinite beam illustrate the ascendancy of the improved model in such problems.

文摘Mining-induced surface deformation disrupts ecological balance and impedes economic progress.This study employs SBAS-InSAR with 107-view of ascending and descending SAR data from Sentinel-1,spanning February 2017 to September 2020,to monitor surface deformation in the Fa’er Coal Mine,Guizhou Province.Analysis on the surface deformation time series reveals the relationship between underground mining and surface shifts.Considering geological conditions,mining activities,duration,and ranges,the study determines surface movement parameters for the coal mine.It asserts that mining depth significantly influences surface movement parameters in mountainous mining areas.Increasing mining depth elevates the strike movement angle on the deeper side of the burial depth by 22.84°,while decreasing by 7.74°on the shallower side.Uphill movement angles decrease by 4.06°,while downhill movement angles increase by 15.71°.This emphasizes the technology's suitability for local mining design,which lays the groundwork for resource development,disaster prevention,and ecological protection in analogous contexts.

文摘Aquifer thermal energy storage(ATES)system has received attention for heating or cooling buildings.However,it is well known that land subsidence becomes a major environmental concern for ATES projects.Yet,the effect of temperature on land subsidence has received practically no attention in the past.This paper presents a thermo-hydro-mechanical(THM)coupled numerical study on an ATES system in Shanghai,China.Four water wells were installed for seasonal heating and cooling of an agriculture greenhouse.The target aquifer at a depth of 74e104.5 m consisted of alternating layers of sand and silty sand and was covered with clay.Groundwater level,temperature,and land subsidence data from 2015 to 2017 were collected using field monitoring instruments.Constrained by data,we constructed a field scale three-dimensional(3D)model using TOUGH(Transport of Unsaturated Groundwater and Heat)and FLAC3D(Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua)equipped with a thermo-elastoplastic constitutive model.The effectiveness of the numerical model was validated by field data.The model was used to reproduce groundwater flow,heat transfer,and mechanical responses in porous media over three years and capture the thermo-and pressure-induced land subsidence.The results show that the maximum thermoinduced land subsidence accounts for about 60%of the total subsidence.The thermo-induced subsidence is slightly greater in winter than that in summer,and more pronounced near the cold well area than the hot well area.This study provides some valuable guidelines for controlling land subsidence caused by ATES systems installed in soft soils.
