中文摘要:

东方 Xinjiang 盆是绝望地除了水。在盆的大多数河在高东方的 Tianshan 发源,它有丰富的降水和众多的高山的冰河。在 1981 和 2009 在博格达山附近在三条引用冰河上进行的现场考古工作建议他们都强烈融化在夏天,趋于在最近的十年加速的进程。从 1962 和 1972 基于地志的地图并且 2005/2006 卫星形象,我们在哈利克山附近在博格达山和 75 条冰河附近调查了 203 条冰河。从 1962 ~ 2006 的博格达山冰河的表面区域在 21.6% 减少了的结果表演(0.49% a1 ) 。这被 181 m 减少在冰体积在长度和 28% 落下伴随。在哈利克山区域, areal 程度被 10.5% 减少(0.32% a1 ) ,由 166 m 的长度,和在 1972 和 2005 之间的在 14% 的体积。面对南方的冰河比向北正在面对的那些他们的区域失去了更多,分别地,产出为博格达山的南部、北的斜坡的 25.3% 和 16.9% 的 areal 损失并且 12.3% 和 6.6% 为哈利克山的可比较的斜坡。比在区域的 0.5 km2 小的冰河经历了最猛烈的撤退,而比在区域的 2 km2 大的冰河经历了轻轻的衰退但是可以是在到河流量的未来的主要贡献者。在东方 Xinjiang 的冰川的脱离趋于到强壮,并且在这个区域的水资源正在败坏。另外,在本地 karez 系统的能力的重减小,以及在河流量的一个重要变化,能与冰川的撤退有关。联合,这将不利地影响 Urumqi 和 Turfan 盆的下游的城市。

英文摘要:

The eastern Xinjiang Basin is desperately short of water. Most rivers in the basin originate in the high eastern Tianshan, which has abundant precipitation and numerous alpine glaciers. Fieldwork conducted on three reference glaciers around Mt. Bogda in 1981 and 2009 suggests that they all strongly melt in summer, a process that has tended to accelerate in recent decades. Based on topo- graphic maps from 1962 and 1972 and 2005/2006 satellite imagery, we investigated 203 glaciers near Mt. Bogda and 75 glaciers near Mt. Harlik. The results show that the surface area of the Mt. Bogda glaciers decreased by 21.6% (0.49% a-1) from 1962 to 2006. This was accompanied by a 181 m decrease in length and a 28% drop in ice volume. In the Mt. Harlik region, areal extent was reduced by 10.5% (0.32% a-l), length by 166 m, and volume by 14% between 1972 and 2005. South-facing glaciers lost more of their area than those that are north facing, yielding an areal loss of 25.3% and 16.9% for southern and northern slopes of Mt. Bogda, respectively, and 12.3% and 6.6% for the comparable slopes of Mt. Harlik. Glaciers smaller than 0.5 km2 in area ex- perienced the strongest retreat, whereas glaciers larger than 2 km2 in area experienced gentle recession but may be the main con- tributors in the future to river runoff. Glacial ablation in eastern Xinjiang tends to be strong, and the water resources in this region are deteriorating. Also, a heavy reduction in the capacity of the local karez system, as well as a significant change in river runoff, can be related to glacial retreat. Combined, this will adversely affect the downstream city of Urumqi and the Turfan Basin.
