Abstract: In order to provide theoretical basis for the prediction,monitoring,prevention and emergency response of karst ground collapse,the development law of karst ground collapse is summarized. It is considered that the soil body,karst and inducing factors are the three elements leading to karst ground col...
Abstract: The Puyang coal mine, southeastern Yunnan lies in shallow Neogene strata of a fault-depression, encompassed by three kinds of hydrogeologic boundaries. The elevation of coal seams is lower than the outlet of an underground river by 100-230 m. Surroundings and basin basement all host karst aquifers, ...
Abstract: Water inrush is one of the most threatening natural hazard in mining, of which karst water is the most common. The Datengxia Dam has raised the surface water level of the Qianjiang River near the Panlong lead-zinc mine. In addition, with mining further toward the deep subsurface, the value of mine w...
Abstract: As a major economic and cultural province in China, Shandong Province has developed rapidly in recent years. Human activities have made a great impact on the geological environment, especially in the karst areas. The main karst geological hazards include karst collapse, groundwater pollution and spr...
Abstract: This work builds on investigations of geology and the conditions of karst collapse of the Qixia Zhongqiao District of Yantai. A hierarchical index system is established using 5 evaluation factors including karst development, structure, overburden bed, hydrogeology and human activities. In order to i...
Abstract: The Chenzhou area is characterized by widely distributed carbonate rocks and thin overburden soil. The sinkholes occur frequently due to long-term dewatering of mines. Based on geological investigations, this paper analyzes the distribution and influencing factors of sinkholes in this area. Results ...
Abstract: In karst areas, ground collapse is a common geological hazard, which poses a great threat to the safety of infrastructure and people's lives and properties. Taking Beihuanxincun, Guigang city as an example, this paper studies the cause of the karst collapse and the law of its hazard by using the met...
Abstract: Karst collapse is one of main geological hazards in karst areas in China, which can be generally divided into two types: sinkhole and karst collapse. Sinkhole is widely distributed and numerous, and how to monitor them and make an early warning is a focused issue. The primary characteristic of sinkh...
Abstract: The Zhongliangshan area is a natural barrier of the east-west traffic channel in Chongqing, that seriously hinders urban economic development. The tunnel traffic can quickly cross fold mountain areas. However, tunnel construction often induces serious karst collapse, failure of underground aquifers ...
Abstract: Avoiding high-risk areas of gushing water and mud is the basic principal for karst tunnel selection. The Yuanguping tunnel is a typical long and deep karst tunnel,which passes through the area with strong karst development. There are some important factors affecting the safty of tunnel construction,...
Abstract: This paper analyzes the environmental geological characteristics and microbial community of the water body in Huanglong scenic area. By comparing relevant studies in Yellowstone National Park, the effects of microbial communities on travertine deposition in two special geographical environments were...
Abstract: As a green and renewable energy,geothermal energy plays an important role in solving the haze prob?lem northern China. Gaoyang geothermal field,near the Xiong’an New Area,is rich in geothermal resources. It is located in the Jizhong depression of the Bohai Bay basin,hosts strata of Jixian System and...
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of lithology and structural characteristics of cap rock and the thermal reservoir of the Ganlanhe hot spring. It covers hydrochemical types, recharge mechanism, thermal reservoir characteristics and mixing mechanism of hot and cold water. The analysis is based on hydr...
Abstract: The purpose of this work was to clarify the genesis of Honghegu hot spring in Mile, Yunnan and the influence of exploitation of drilling hot water on the spring, providing a reasonable basis for the development of hot water resources in this area. Hydrochemical analysis and isotopic tests were perfo...
Abstract: Hunan Province hosts abundant geothermal water resources,while little research of hydrochemistry on them has been made. research is not thorough. The purpose of this work is to analyze the occurrence of geothermal water in Hunan Province,estimate the temperature of the heat storage in the study area...
Abstract: The Heze uplift geothermal field is located in the tectonic unit of the buried uplift, Heze-Yanzhou buried fault uplift, Heze buried uplift, with a total area 6,330 km2. It hosts Ordovician crack karst thermal reservoirs of layering zone-like shape, with water yield of 80-402 m3.h-1 in single wells,...
Abstract: In order to evaluate the catchment situation more effectively,a comprehensive catchment index evaluation model based on grid was constructed by remote sensing(RS) and geographic information system(GIS)for the Chaotian River basis. It took topographic index,surface index and vegetation index as main ...
Abstract: The Huixian wetland is the largest karst wetland in China. In the past half century, due to the unreasonable development and utilization of human beings, the water area of this wetland has shrunk severely. Research on groundwater dynamics and water balance in the Huixian wetland is of great signific...
Abstract: Digital elevation model(DEM)can quantitatively describe landforms. While the statistic approach of karst entities based on peck-cluster depression has not been established yet. Based on 1:50,000 digital topographic maps of Dawan,Muxiang,Yanzikou and Zhuzhong in the Wumengshan mountains, this work bu...
Abstract: The Salaxi town of Bijie City, Guizhou Province is a representative karst mountainous demonstration district, where the karst accounts for 74.25% of the entire area. The exposed rocks are dominated by limestone, limestone and sand shale, with widespread potential and mild rocky desertification. This...
Abstract: Located in Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Pingguo City has high terrain in the north and low terrain in the south, with low mountains and hills in the north and south, and karst landform in the middle.The karst landform area of the city accounts for 61.67% of the total area, which is ...
