Abstract
Moraine dams formed by the accumulation of loose glacial materials, typically exhibit poor consolidation properties and complex structure characteristics (especially with buried ice) which make them susceptible to failure. Influenced by global climate warming, the risk of moraine dam breaching is further exacerbated. This article summarizes the breaching modes, breaching mechanisms, and breaching numerical models of moraine dams, and analyzes several deficiencies: 1) The accuracy of long-term monitoring of moraine dams is relatively low, the dynamic monitoring for individual dam and its environment is insufficient; 2) Systematic research on how buried ice affects dam breaching is lacking, and a significant gap remains in the study of combined multiple breaching modes of moraine dams; 3) The predictive results of moraine dam breaching parameter models are quite unreliable, and physically-based mathematical models have not consider the influence of buried ice. Based on this, the article puts forward the following recommendations: 1) Enhance the understanding of climate change impacts on moraine dam breaching through long-term dynamic monitoring of moraine dams; 2) Focus on the erosion characteristics of materials, study the breaching process and mechanisms of ice-rich moraine dams under various breaching modes; 3) Reveal the response mechanism of moraine dams to temperature variations using numerical simulation techniques that couple thermal-stress modules and consider the phase change of ice, further revealing the breaching mechanisms of moraine dams containing buried ice.
期刊介绍:
Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere.
Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost.
Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.
