Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Sand Mining in Poyang Lake and Its Impact on Lake Basin Morphology Based on Remote Sensing Images by LIU Jiahao

“…The results show that: ① sand mining vessels were mainly distributed in the north lake part of Poyang Lake from 2000 to 2006, and the number of sand mining vessels plummeted in 2008 due to the impact of the banning policy, and 2016 was the peak of sand mining activities, in which the policy regulation is the main factor for the change of spatio-temporal distribution and number and scale of sand mining vessels in Poyang Lake from 2000 to 2021; ② the human sand mining activities have affected to a certain extent the hydrological sediment balance of Poyang Lake to a certain extent; ③ sand mining activities led to a decrease in the beach area in the inlet channel of Poyang Lake and Songmen Mountain area, while the net increase in the beach area in the southeast area of Tangyin was about 7.95 km², mainly due to siltation caused by the spreading of sediments from inlet tributaries of the lake. …”

Rapid Built-up of PM10 in the Ambient Air of the Leeward Side Resulting from Strong Pressure Gradient Force Associated with Density Current by Wei-Kuo Soong, Chung-Hsuang Hung

“…According to the Froude number (above 0.5), the flow in northern Taiwan can pass the terrain, producing subsidence warming in central Taiwan, which is located at the leeward side of the northeastern Central Mountain Range (CMR). In addition, strong winds blew river dusts in the middle of Taiwan under a stable atmosphere and stimulated density current, transporting PM10 to southern Taiwan. …”

Modelling of Chain Process of Debris Flow Blocking River and Induced Flood Disaster in Meizoseismal Area ——A Case of Xiazhuang Gully in Wenchuan County by LUO Yuting, WANG Lijuan, MA Song, TANG Yao

“…After the Wenchuan earthquake,there has been a sharp increase in the frequency of debris flow activity,which is featured by low rainfall threshold,frequent occurrence,wide impact and strong destruction.The hazards mainly include siltation,impact,river blocking and inundation.Among them,the mudslide blocking river shows particularly prominent disaster effect,seriously threatening the improvement of mountain infrastructure,and residents' life and property safety.The research of the dynamic process of river blocking disaster chain of debris flow can provide scientific reference for debris flow hazard prevention and early warning.Based on field surveys,physical tests,remote sensing images and rainfall data for a typical watershed,a numerical simulation was conducted to study the dynamic process of the river blocking disaster chain of debris flow in Xiazhuang Gully.The simulation results show that the debris flow reaches the outlet of the basin at t=120 step;and at t=130 step the debris flow pushes forward and blocks part of the main river;at t=140 and 150 step the debris flow completely blocks the main river,forming a debris-dam with a length,width and thickness of 236.0 m,74.0 m,6.2 m and 312.0 m,79.0 m,and 7.1 m,respectively,which causes the upstream water level to rise,with an inundation depth of the upstream residential area of 3-5 m.By comparing the simulation results with the field measured data,the accuracy of the simulation reaches up to 84.9%,which indicates that the model is of good applicability to simulating the disaster chain process of landslide-debris flow-flood.…”
